The Future Powerful Spatial 3D!

When Ibaka's mid-range shot was on target, the Knicks were actually in for a major headache.

It wasn't that having a mid-range shot alone made him formidable.

It was that the Thunder had too many powerful players.

They had barely managed to defend Westbrook into forcing shots, only for Harden to come on right away.

Even if he did not attack, simply standing there made him a threat.

Durant, the team's strongest player, still required Su Yan's constant attention. The slightest lapse, the tiniest opening, and he would punish the Knicks with an even more accurate mid-range shot.

The same went for Cousins in the restricted area.

He did not attack much either, but his deterrence was right there. Did they dare leave him open? Did they dare ignore him?

Sorry.

Cousins would definitely punish them viciously with a thunderous slam...

All they could say was that the Thunder had too many players who could make plays.

And the team would undoubtedly operate with Durant and Westbrook as its twin cores, building the entire team's coordination around them.

That inevitably reduced Harden, Ibaka, and Cousins's touches.

At a glance, their numbers might decline somewhat, but that did not stop them from being outstanding players.
