"It's violent!" Presti marvels.

Curry organizes the ball and looks for opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates after the pick-and-roll.At this time, the Thunder began to rely on their long-arm talent to cut off Curry's passing route, keep the distance, and let Curry make mid-range shots. In fact, it was very embarrassing to defend Curry.
Of course, the Thunder are also very difficult to defend. Harden, Westbrook, and Durant are the three singles strengths that can almost kill any team with singles!
Of course, the Hornets' defensive strategy is a single defense, and the periphery relies on rotation!With two talented teams like this, it is almost impossible to prevent death. They can only be slightly restricted. The Hornets have only one advantage over the Thunder.Or the Thunder and the Hornets will have a tough fight in the first few games, but the more they hit the Hornets, the better it will be!
In the previous life, the Thunder and the Warriors had a tiebreaker. In the previous few games, the Thunder 3:1 the Warriors, but it became more and more difficult as they fought to the back.

"These two rounds were defended very well!" Presti said happily, then stood up and applauded to encourage the players!

On the last attack, Curry missed a three-pointer with a cover. After the first quarter, the Hornets trailed 22 to 25. Both sides scored very low!
In the second quarter, the Hornets super bench gangster lineup appeared, Livingston, Ray Allen, Jimmy Butler, Ray Allen, Whiteside.

Thunder Five: Harden, Matthews, Durant, Gibson, Ibaka, Thunder play eight rotations!

Presti has only one goal for the bench team, don't lose points, even if you lose points, don't exceed 4 points!Presti firmly believes that this lineup can easily accomplish this goal!
In the positional battle, David West and Whiteside attracted the defense in the low post, ready to grab a rebound, the other three opened up, and Jimmy Butlery directly singled out the middle.

Durant came to defend. In fact, it is not rational to single out Durant, but Presti also wants to see the effect. Even if he causes a foul, it will be profitable. Durant is very smart.He didn't go over for a while, and went straight to the free throw line!Miss!

Thunder attack, handed over to Durant to attack with the ball, low singles Jimmy Butler, this is basically gone if it is double-teamed, David West came over, Durant then divided Gibson, the basket was about to be shot, Whiteside came over and blocked it! .

Whiteside took the rebound and gave it to Livingston, who hit Harden in the low post!Lean back and lean back!Miss!Harden's defense at this time is still relatively good! ,
Harden quickly went to the frontcourt with a rebound, singled Ray Allen, directly rushed to the inside, Whiteside came to make up, jumped up to fight the throw!Have!

"I'm a bit arrogant!" Presti smiled bitterly. The rotation lineup of Harden and Durant, the Hornets' substitute really can't beat it!
The Hornets attacked, David West took the ball and played in the low post. At this time, Gibson and Ibaka decisively double-teamed and immediately passed the ball to Ray Allen.
It seems that the Thunder's strategy is to let go of the inaccurate outside line, and then shrink the inside line to protect the restricted area!Jimmy Butler takes the ball open and makes a shot!Really not!
"This shot!" Presti was a little helpless. In fact, this tactic of the Thunder is very risky. Once Jimmy Butler makes a shot and develops his touch, the Thunder will be very difficult to play!
Durant got the rebound, counterattacked and rushed to the front court, reached the top of the arc on the left, pulled it up and threw it!Chasing three-point hit! !
Beep!Presti called a timeout!The starter must be on!
After returning from the timeout, Presti took back all the starters, while the Thunder replaced Durant and Ibaka to rest, and brought Westbrook and Jordan up!
Curry led the frontcourt, his teammates pulled away, and singled out Harden!Continuous corssocer!Start to accelerate, pass Harden, break into the inside, attract Gibson to defend and pass the ball to Davis, Davis gets the ball and gets up and dunks!

The Hornets have also practiced this tactic many times. In fact, the main reason for their success is that Harden's perimeter defense is really average!Once Curry passes Harden, the Thunder's insiders can only come over to make up, and it is a throw if they don't make up!
On the Thunder's side, Harden took the ball to face Curry, and also made a continuous crotch. Instead of breaking through, he shot from the back!No, Green grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack.

Curry gave the ball to Paul George. Paul George attracted Gibson's defense and passed it to Green. Green faced Matthews. He had an advantage in height and weight.

The Thunder's offense, the Thunder's current shooting is very poor. After Durant went down, the Thunder's outside threat was very low. The Hornets decisively contracted. Facing the Hornets' contraction, there was still nothing they could do. Westbrook rushed in and was flanked.

The Hornets counterattacked, Curry caught the ball and dribbled it to the front court by himself. He made an emergency stop on the left and retreated to meet Matthews. Matthews retreated too far back and had no time to take off. .

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook used a screen to get rid of Curry, attracted Green to defend, and then passed the ball to Gibson. Gibson relied on his height advantage to make a 70-degree jump shot from the right.Gibson's midrange is below league average!
Paul George retreated to get the rebound, jumped up and dialed out with one hand, and Green picked up the rebound.

The Hornets counterattacked again. Greens passed to Curry. Curry dribbled the ball to the right outside the three-point line for a meal, dribbled the ball behind his left hand, and lightly probed his left shoulder.

The ball actually missed, but the long rebound was picked up by Curry, and then the low post Davis, got the ball and turned around to hook!Got it!Thunder immediately pause!

After returning from the timeout, Westbrook advanced!The pick-and-roll cuts into the low post on the left! !Three seconds zone!Ibaka!Direct mid-range shots! !
still none!Davis rebounds! !Give Paul George a boost!Hold the ball at the top of the arc! ! !
Pull away and face Durant!Call Curry for the pick and roll!Point to Curry on the right, stand still and continue to make three points!No, the Hornets are starting to iron out!
But Davis flew!Rush to the rebound on Jordan's head!Divide outside Curry!Westbrook will immediately make up for it!No chance, Paul George will be divided again, and Durant will defend again!Divide Green again!There are still vacancies.

Green is a little afraid to vote!Presti stood up and shouted, "Vote!!"

Green took aim with the ball and shot!But still miss!Westbrook got the rebound and the Thunder counterattacked!He rushed to the front court, couldn't stop him, and dunked directly!
Beep!Presti called a timeout!

If you don't shoot in the open space, the damage to tactics is huge!
