I'm not really a role player

Chapter 284

Scott Brooks can be regarded as the kind of coach who knows how to adapt, and it is this kind of coach that can train the Thunder that is full of stars.

Seeing that Rondo was beaten by as many as 9 points behind in the first quarter, let's look at the overall performance of the team.

On the offensive end, Xiao Du and Da Luo played fairly well. On the defensive end, there was nothing wrong with 28 cards. They couldn't prevent the Bobcats' offense, and more problems were due to the team's configuration.

The defense cannot be adjusted, so the choice before Scott Brooks is to adjust the offense.

Scott Brooks trusts Rondo a lot, but in this game, his trust cannot continue.

"In the second quarter, let's change our style of play..."

It's also a break between festivals, and here at Bobcats, the atmosphere is a little bit subtle.

Li Ke knew that Sam Vincent saw his behavior of changing the head coach's tactical arrangement privately.

This season, Sam Vincent's temperament has changed, and he obviously has some opinions on Li Ke's interference in the work of the coaching staff.

Although he has been silent all the time, it doesn't mean that he really has no opinion on Li Ke's actions.

In fact, Li Ke's privately proposed change in tactics produced better results, but Sam Vincent refused to adopt it. The reason was that he wanted to use this to express his dissatisfaction with Li Ke.

Right now, the game is in progress, Sam Vincent just glanced at Li Ke faintly, and then emphasized: Rotate the lineup, our focus is still-hand the ball to Sheldon!

Speaking of which, why did Li Ke interfere with the work of the coaching staff many times?
It's not that he's gone, it's that he has had success in the past few seasons.

Sam Vincent in the past few seasons has also accepted it half-heartedly.

If not, it would be impossible for Li Ke to interfere with the work of the coaching staff.

Sam Vincent's coaching is terrible, what should I do if he is not obedient?Let him have a bad record, and then get out of class.

The problem is that Li Ke has been blinded by the successful experience of the past few seasons, and if he can win, who wants to lose...

Now, looking at the secluded eyes of Sam Vincent, Li Ke knows that the current situation is very difficult.

Sam Vincent is stubborn and will never compromise.

However, the Shanmao's record can be sustained by Li Ke.

In this case, Sam Vincent had no reason to leave get out of class, and the situation froze.

"Don't care, win first!"

After a one-and-a-half-minute intermission, the Bobcats and Thunder have rotated some of their main players.

Here at Shanmao, Li Ke followed Xiao Du, and when Xiao Du went, he also went.

Considering that Xiao Du didn't sweat much in the first quarter, it was inevitable for him to play consecutively in the second quarter.

Therefore, in the second quarter, Li Ke continued to play, but his teammates, the point guard was replaced by Earl Watson from Curry, the wing partner was replaced by Wesley Matthews, and Tajibson and Kwame Brown were on the inside.

This season, the Bobcats' bench is very deep, and Sam Vincent's formation is very arrogant. Except for Li Ke and Hua's second son, the other Bobcats players almost evenly split their playing time.

For example, at the point guard position, Curry's average playing time is only a little over 28 minutes per game, and the rest of the time is given to Earl Watson.

For another example, at the power forward position, Kenyon Martin played only a little more than 26 minutes, and most of the rest of the time was given to Tajibson.

This way of arranging troops, if the strength is too strong, then it is healthy, because the entire team will not be troubled by physical fitness and injuries.

But if the strength is not so good, such as the current Bobcats, it is unhealthy.

Because of this [-]-[-] playing time allocation, the overall strength of the Bobcats is weakened.

Still the same sentence, Sam Vincent has been stunned, and all Li Ke can do is to interfere with the tactical arrangement and personnel arrangement on the court, and there is nothing he can do.

……

Looking at the Thunder's lineup, except for the small forward who is still Xiaodu, in other positions, Eric Maynor has replaced Rondo, Gerald Henderson has played, replacing Sefolosha, and Nick Collison and Serbian center Kostic have also been replaced inside.

Speaking of which, the Thunder's center is in the same line from the starting lineup to the bench.

The starting lineup is more offensive, and the same goes for the substitutes.

There is only one 28-card, and without 28-card, the Thunder's defense is even worse.

Scott Brooks' idea is very clear, he is betting on Xiaodu's offense.

"It is said that KD and Sheldon are the enemies of life who were born in the same school. Since they are enemies of life, they should have matching strength..."

With the whistle of the referee, the second quarter of the game began.

In the opening game, the Thunder's offense appeared as expected.

"KD, take the ball directly at the beginning, directly play singles..."

"With such a lineup, the Thunder has no other choice."

In the opening singles, Xiao Du did not force it, but borrowed a pick-and-roll from Krstic.

The quality of the pick-and-roll was not high, and Li Ke quickly evaded the screen and pushed back in front of Xiao Du.

At the end of the singles, Xiao Du could only resist Li Ke's defense and make a strong shot.

The game in the first quarter proved that against Li Ke's defense, Xiao Du was able to shoot an above-average shooting percentage, but it was only an above-average shooting percentage.

On the first ball at the opening of the second quarter, Xiao Du turned over and made a jump shot with a bang.

Apparently, his touch wasn't ready yet.

In the Bobcats' offense, Li Ke played much more directly.

Leaning against Xiao Du with his back, he pushed two steps, turned around, and walked towards the basket.

Xiao Du could only follow behind Li Ke to eat ashes, and the Thunder didn't have a good frame protection under the basket.

Just like that, Li Ke raised his hand and threw it away.

Swish-!
"Sheldon's breakthrough, KD's defense was too weak, and the score was further opened."

At this point in the game, the Thunder's powerlessness has been fully demonstrated.

Far away in Oklahoma City, Sam Presti watched everything in this game and clearly realized that the problem lies in the team's configuration.

"The Thunder's team configuration is too outrageous. The center does not protect the frame and does not grab rebounds. Instead, he often pulls to the high post and shoots from mid-range. The point guard does not have long-range shots or free throws. Instead, he often rushes to the basket to grab rebounds..."

"This configuration is too deformed."

"It can be foreseen that the Thunder's lineup, when facing a team with a strong point guard defense or a strong breakthrough player, will be beaten as hard as this game..."

In ESPN's commentary, Bill Simmons expressed his views.

As he said, in this game, the Thunder fell behind by a big score at halftime.

At the end of the four quarters, they directly lost 83 points with a score of 112 to 29.

The loss was worse than the preseason.

Xiao Du was about to doubt his life. He played well, but the team lost badly.

It seems that the gap between the teams is already huge.
