Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 110
It is actually a blessing for Bill that the team has a ball holder like Wall, because he can concentrate more on scoring without worrying about not having the right to shoot.

This is why he has improved so much from rookie to now. At least part of the reason is that he was fed by Wall, and the rest is naturally his own efforts and the cultivation of the team.

Bill's three-pointers must not be released. He is also a pitcher who can stably hit more than [-]% of his shots.

Fortunately, Ennis immediately returned one, because Bill retreated a little bit back and gave him room to shoot. Ennis thought that I am not Andre and Giannis, so I have to look down on me so much.

Li Sheng used the template card of the Yellow Mamba on him, and now it is somewhat effective. Ennis' ball handling has improved a lot compared to when he was drafted.

The key is that after the training has achieved results, he also has confidence, and he is the one who has the least pressure during the competition, so he seems to be daring to fight.

Ten seconds later, Bill used the cover to go to the basket again, and Ennis squeezed through the screen to keep up with him, but he didn't expect him to step back and turn around for a jumper, and it was too late for Ennis to step forward to interfere.

Bill felt really good today, and he was lucky. The ball spun twice in the basket and went in.

Bill's smile was very bright when he retreated, but in Ennis' eyes, he looked a little annoying.

However, Bill's status in the team is not comparable to him. In this lineup, Bill can attack as he wants, but Ennis came on the field to hold the ball, but Li Sheng didn't want him to attack.

Although Ibaka missed a three-pointer in the first quarter, his previous shooting percentage was unbelievable, and Ibaka cameo dealer at the top of the arc, seeing Ennis running around with Perkins' cover, and immediately passed the ball.

Bill's pursuit and defense was also very fast, and even greedy, he wanted to jump over and directly intercept the pass, but he failed. Instead, Ennis found a gap to break through the penalty area.

Seraphim didn't dare to let go of Perkins, so Nene had to turn around and chase after him. Bill also quickly switched positions with him and ran to Ibaka's side to prevent Ennis from passing the ball.

But Ennis didn't intend to pass the ball. No matter how fast Nene is, he is still an insider. How can he catch up with the swingman?

"Ennis made a layup and scored two points. This is the beginning of the match with Bill!"

"Thunder's rookies are really limitless. Li Sheng was also applauding Ennis on the sidelines. These rookies were all brought out by him, and there is also a mentorship."

In fact, there is no need to apply Chinese traditional concepts to the NBA. To be honest, the coaches and players here are more colleagues, but because it was indeed Li Sheng who "brought" them back to Oklahoma City during the draft, the four people who know this all have a respect for Li Sheng.

Then Li Sheng clapped his hands again on the sidelines to let them concentrate and prevent the Wizards from attacking.

The fans at the scene immediately thought of the cry of "DEFENCE", which was not only to cheer up the home team, but also to interfere with the attack of the visiting team through noise.

After all, they are now behind. If they want to chase points, they must be able to defend if they can score. Especially after defending, there are often easyball opportunities for fast breaks. According to Director Zhang, there are four or five points here, so a successful defense at this time is very important.

It's a pity that Bill didn't get credit for coming here this time. Instead, after attracting the defense, he passed it to Ariza who had vacated the position.

Ariza can also hold the ball, but of course he is relatively stiff. He has not practiced holding the ball and can only continue to do 3D in the end.

But he didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer, but took the ball to the basket, which also attracted the attention of the defense.

At this time, Bill took advantage of Nene's blocking, ran out of position, cut directly to the basket, received a pass from Ariza, made a strong hit, and caused Ennis to foul.

Ennis couldn't catch up and bumped into him. Who knew that Bill's body was crooked or he shot in, and even paid for a foul. Naturally, he was a little depressed.

Then Bill added a penalty, and the point difference came to 7 points again, 33:40.

"After less than 2 minutes in the second quarter, the Wizards still firmly grasped the advantage, especially Bill, the Thunder couldn't hold it at all."

"Yeah, Bill has scored 16 points. Today he is very efficient. He made 5 of 3 three-pointers. The Thunder must find a way to prevent him, otherwise he may score very high points."

Of course Li Sheng also knows this, but many things cannot be done just by knowing.

The Thunder's lineup has already done a good job of rotating defense, but it is better to limit the breakthrough, and sometimes it can only pray that he will miss the shot when facing the outside.

Fortunately, efficiency always has a period of decline, and it cannot always be at a high level.

Then the Thunder hit another two points, and Bill finally missed another three-pointer. The Thunder protected the rebound and immediately began to counterattack.

Ennis quickly advanced to Lamb, and Lamb hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the point difference suddenly became 2 points.

At this time, Whitman finally called a timeout, and he also needed to arrange his defense.

The offense and defense of both sides are actually good. The reason why the score is so tight is that the defense of both sides can't completely limit the opponent's offense.

Especially the fast break after this kind of offensive failure. Before Li Sheng coached, the Thunder was very good at switching, and they still continue to have this advantage. The Wizards accidentally gave them a chance.

"The Thunder's offensive is very strong. Although the Wizards have always maintained the lead, they have not been able to pull away. Now they have been chased to 2 points, which means they can overtake with a three-pointer." Yoga said, there is no shortage of praise in his words.

Yang Jian nodded and said with a smile: "It depends on how a team coach trains the team. A good coach will give the team a kind of temperament, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will not rush."

"Okay, let's take a break and continue broadcasting the game for you later..."

There was an advertisement on the TV broadcast, but Li Sheng was not idle during the timeout, and began to dispatch troops and arrange tactics again.

Now only 4 minutes into the second quarter, the two sides are relatively stalemate, so he first replaced Durant, and then after thinking about it, he also replaced Ibaka and Antetokounmpo.

Although Lamb just made a three-pointer, this is not 2K after all, and if the Wizards want to replace Wall, they still have to have a defensive matchup.

Robertson was also tired defending Wall in the first quarter, so it's time for him to rest.

The game continued after the timeout ended, and Whitman hadn't replaced Wall yet.

To be honest, although Whitman is also an old qualification, he is not considered a strong coach, otherwise he would not be fired by the Wizards later and then he would not be able to find a job.

He is a bit similar to Brooks. This kind of coach who has accompanied the team from the bottom to the bottom, wants to boast that their guidance and training of the team is still meaningful. If they have to say how strong the tactics are, they are blind.
