Chapter 529 The Gap Between Teams (Deacon Gagen)

Attack in eight seconds, killing people.

The cheers from the Thunder bench stopped abruptly.

That's just too sloppy.

Our superstar Durant scored two points desperately, and the opponent's unknown rookie scored two points easily.

It's old-fashioned, the most basic Pistol pistol tactics are nothing more than rushing to take advantage of the rhythm.

Why is there such a big gap between teams?
"Defense, defend!"

There were bursts of shouts in the arena, Westbrook took the ball straight to the right wing, and raised his hand to signal the Thunder players on the left to stand.

With that kind of operation, it seemed that Durant was used to cover a breakthrough, and Curry hurriedly took the lead and occupied the sideline position.

"Ah this..."

Su Yang was dumbfounded, thinking that Curry was overreaction and over-defensive, as long as he played the game, he would know how to use it.

It is estimated that the defensive shouts of the fans on the scene were biased.

It may also be because Thunder is used to taking turns playing singles, and it's numb.

In a hurry, Westbrook froze in place, then pulled the ball back to the top of the arc, while Durant simultaneously set up a wall to block Curry.

Antetokounmpo can only switch defenses to intercept.

Can't let Westbrook charge up, it's a dunk.

Curry scrambled around the screen to intercept, but Durant stepped back and turned back to the short corner, raising his hand to receive the pass from Westbrook.

Seeing this, Green hurried out from the basket to defend, but Durant made an open mid-range shot, which was basically equal to scoring for nothing.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

Knowing that he made a mistake, Curry repeatedly clapped his hands to encourage himself, quite confident, then took the basketball and turned and ran to the frontcourt.

Green set up a wall at 45 degrees on the left three-point line in advance to cover, Durant switched defenses and intercepted, Curry rushed all the way to the basket, circled along the baseline, and suddenly jumped and threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line. And Green happened to disassemble the outer shell and ran there to catch the ball.

In the blink of an eye, Green ignored Durant's potential dive back to prevent interference, and raised his hand to shoot a wide-open three-pointer.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Curry was also wide open. Westbrook watched the ball and didn't look at people. He didn't chase Curry and stayed in the paint. He was probably preparing to grab a rebound. After all, Curry is more accurate in three-pointers.

Curry caught the ball and shot it, and the basketball flew out of Westbrook's head, drew a long arc, and slammed into the net.

There was applause in the arena.

Su Yang followed suit and applauded, thinking that Westbrook's performance this round was also a famous scene, and he couldn't change the bad habit of shrinking early.

The Thunder made a fast break, and it was one high and four lows.

Westbrook controlled the ball at the LOGO position and raised his hand to signal, as if he was calling for some tactics. Su Yang had never seen that gesture before.

Just wondering what it was, Durant raised his back to cover and block Curry, and Westbrook broke through violently and went straight to the right elbow.

Antetokounmpo immediately moved laterally to intercept.

Cousins ​​and Green also shrunk to the basket.

Westbrook knew that it was too difficult to rush to the basket, so he stopped suddenly, jumped up and turned to the left, grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw it vigorously at Durant, the movement was quite obvious.

Curry reached out to shoot at will, slapped the racket to the bottom line, LaVine took it in his hand, and the King suddenly launched a fast break.

Go directly to the third line and get off quickly.

After stealing, Curry ran to the left, LaVine advanced with the ball in the middle, Antetokounmpo strode on the right, and the Thunder only had Durant.

The three rushed to the three-point line in the blink of an eye, Antetokounmpo received the ball from the right wing and made a long pass, Curry caught the ball from the left wing and stopped suddenly, and then accelerated and rushed.

The rhythm changes from slow to fast.

Durant was tricked into stopping, and Curry made a lightning-fast breakthrough to the basket, facing the threat of a block behind his back, and forced himself to hit the board.

The basketball rebounded and hit the basket with a bang, and fell into the net with the foul whistle. Durant fouled and had an additional penalty.

Cheers erupted in the arena.

Antetokounmpo hurriedly pulled up the basement where he was knocked over and lying on the ground. The fans in the audience chanted MVP, and added a penalty and easily went into the net.

The Kings lead 11 to 6.

Curry made a three-pointer and a three-pointer, quickly changed the situation, and even made Durant, the king of the Thunder, get fouled.

The two teams switched offense and defense, and Westbrook ran the ball to the right wing. After a long time of tinkering, he passed the ball to Ibaka in the waist with difficulty.

The main reason is that Durant was involved, and the King's idea of ​​changing defenses, successfully created Ibaka to single out LaVine in the low position.

Lavin's body is too disadvantaged.

Ibaka is also quite accurate when he turns over and makes a mid-range shot.

Cousins ​​decisively followed Su Yang's arrangement, grabbed early help from the basket, and double-teamed with LaVine.

The routine is still the same routine.

But Ibaka is not Durant, and the Thunder did not keep anyone in the left corner this time. Ibaka can only pass the ball back.

Westbrook picked up the high hold to observe, Cousins ​​hurriedly reset and returned to the basket, ready to intercept Westbrook's potential breakthrough.

But Westbrook still broke through violently, rushed to the edge of the penalty area, turned around and stopped and handed the ball to Adams, almost making a mistake.

Adams caught the ball and jumped up and threw it head-on. The basketball slammed into the net hollowly, and none of the four players under the King's basket could stop it.

Mainly I didn't expect Westbrook to operate so showy.

It actually stopped suddenly in a small area and still passed the ball to the center forward. It is not so much that the Kings failed to defend, it is better to say that the Thunder were lucky.

"Awei likes to do this kind of operation..."

Su Yang complained in his heart, after Westbrook made a strong charge, he found that there were many moments when he couldn't do it, most of them made mistakes, and a few made dangerous passes.

Just thinking about it, Green, who was advancing with the ball, raised his hand and made a long pass.

Antetokounmpo received the ball from the right wing of the frontcourt, took advantage of the trend and stepped forward with three threats. Seeing Ibaka move up, he immediately crossed and strode to the bottom line. Without much technical content, he spit out an explosive force and hit the basket with two big strides Next, he jumped high and dunked with both hands.

It's useless for Ibaka to chase with all his strength.

The basketball went into the net, 13 to 8.

Turning to the Thunder to attack, Durant took a short corner position, used Adams to cover and catch the ball, and took advantage of the situation to make a two-point shot.

Quite a classic Durant tactic.

Hang a screen and shoot directly. When Adelman coached the Rockets, he also liked to design it for McGrady.

What McGrady and Durant have in common is that they are tall and long, and their talents are so fucking good that they don't need too many complicated moves.

Su Yang also let Durant play like that.

But even for Jordan, it is quite difficult to stop suddenly to catch the ball, turn around and pull out his hand for two points, which requires super stability.

In the contemporary NBA, Klay is the most efficient player.

when!The basketball rebounded by smashing the basket and hitting the iron.

The Kings grabbed a rebound and counterattacked, Cousins ​​caught the ball in the low post and missed a goal, and the Thunder grabbed a rebound and launched a fast-break counterattack.

Westbrook took it all the way to the left waist, sat with his back against Curry while walking, suddenly pulled the ball, turned around and jumped out of his hand to shoot.

The basketball slammed, the Kings grabbed rebounds and counterattacked, and the three-point line in the frontcourt continued to cover. The same height, the same smashing baskets and irons.

Seeing the iron strike, Su Yang habitually yelled at the field: "Return to defense..." There was no way, Thunder's counterattack was too fast.

Before the words fell, Westbrook rushed to Curry from the top of the arc, killed to the basket in two seconds, took off against Cousins, and was blocked tragically.

Green grabbed the basketball and then counterattacked. He ran two steps and directly raised his hand for a long pass. LaVine received the ball from the right wing of the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer.

Basketball clangs like iron.

Su Yang pouted helplessly.

The hit rate is also too bad.

Fortunately, it was a success if the Thunder didn't make a counterattack, and the King switched from offense to defense very quickly, unlike the Thunder who relied on rushing.

Between the complaints, Adams took two big steps outside the three-point line to cover, Antetokounmpo squeezed to catch up, and Durant jumped and shot simultaneously.

Don't stick to basketball.

Durant raised his hands to express his speechlessness. It was obvious that he failed to make a foul. The referee ignored it at all, and the King took the ball to counterattack.

Antetokounmpo went straight to the basket, faced Adams' interception, stopped suddenly and turned around and passed it to Curry who was following up, and Curry took the ball around, used LaVine's cover to get rid of it, pretended to sprint to the right, but actually gave the ball behind his right hand, followed Going in, Gerry caught the ball and took off for a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

16:8.

The referee whistled for the Thunder to request a timeout.

Cheers erupted in the arena.

In the ESPN commentary booth, Van Gundy chuckled: "The gap between the Thunder and the Kings is a bit big. Their fast pace depends on the sprinting of their players. Compared with the King's large number of long passes, the physical consumption is much higher. In addition, the lack of three-pointers requires more rushing to the basket. , The king's defense will be very targeted. As long as there is no hope of grabbing an offensive rebound, it is enough to retreat quickly. However, we all know that the Thunder have always won through Durant and Westbrook playing for a long time. Look at the situation in the stage of the substitute game..."
