The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Chapter 68 wdnmd

"Fxck!"

Donovan couldn't help being rude.

He didn't expect Walker and Davis to have such great pick-and-roll abilities.

Even Tang Tian didn't exert much force during this period, and Butler didn't even participate in the offense much.

But that's it, the Pelicans have rubbed the Thunder to the ground!

Griffin hit Davis with a low post, turned around and flew to the baseline for a layup.

After Griffin was injured, his explosive power was not as good as before. Instead of turning around and dunking directly, but now he can only hit the layup.

That is, this change gave Davis a chance. The moment he turned around and shot, Davis raised his hand directly with his height and wingspan.

"boom!"

Davis directly gave Griffin a big hat!He also scored a defensive rebound!

Donovan reached out and patted his forehead, already desperate.

Walker continued to find Davis to pick and roll in the frontcourt.

Donovan recovered from his despair and yelled from the sidelines that the Thunder's defense had changed, and they would not switch defenses when encountering a pick-and-roll.

Walker didn't attack after seeing it, and after signaling Davis to drop low, he directly lobbed the ball in.

Davis hit Griffin with his back in the low post, and made shots after turning around continuously.

The ball rubbed the backboard and fell steadily into the net bag.

Davis scored two more points for the Pelicans!

The effect of his training with Duncan in the summer came out. With his footsteps and the stability of his shots, he looks like a Duncan II!

Donovan was stunned.

When did Davis have this hand?

Griffin continued to attack the basket, turning around and passing Davis beautifully.

This is his ability.

But after he passed Davis, it was Dedmond standing in front of him!

Dedmond is black and tough, giving confrontation, and his long arms interfered the moment he shot.

Griffin's hands were short, his shot was too low and was interfered, and the ball hit the frame!

Davis returned to the defense and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Thunder still didn't score!

There were whistles and cheers at the scene.

This is really a one-sided slap!

Dedmond, Davis, Butler, Tang Tian!

After the Pelicans defended the zone defense, the inside line was solid!

The Pelicans' defense is impenetrable, and looking back, the Thunder's positional battle also showed its characteristics. Walker's consecutive pick-and-rolls did not have a chance this time.

The ball was finally given to Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian took the ball and pulled it out directly from outside the three-point line.

"Shh!"

Basketball hits the net!

12 is better than 0!

"wdnmd!"

Fans on the hotline have already started to explode.

They have watched the NBA for so many years, but this scene in front of them is really a long time!

A team with dual cores not only failed to score, but was also beaten into a sieve!

Really I hit you!

Westbrook asked Adams for a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt, ready to play Dedmon in a dislocation.

But the Pelicans didn't come out at all. Westbrook's zombie grabbing a step forward with the ball was interfered by Butler and smashed out of the frame.

Davis grabbed the defensive rebound and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack.

Walker was fast, received a long pass from Tang Tian's backcourt, turned around and shot against Westbrook's top.

"Snapped!"

"Shh!"

Westbrook reached out to interfere with the thug, but the ball still fell into the net bag!

2+1!

Walker scored the second 2+1!

Donovan patted his forehead and called a timeout.

I can't watch this game.

"I think ESPN needs to re-update their power rankings, just tonight."

In the commentary, Barkley has already started to tease his competitors.

"Yes, what they are worried about is completely out of line. The tacit understanding of the Pelicans is so good, it is like a team that has been running in for three or four years."

Kenny Smith is a very professional basketball commentator, but at this moment he also uses his professionalism to express emotion.

The media knows about the hard training of the brothers. It will take at least a year or two for other teams to form a giant team, but the four brothers of the Pelicans completely skip this process.

So they also feel that ESPN's brain is showing off.

"I can't imagine this team losing. No one can beat them except for injuries!"

Barkley turned on the big mouth mode.

"How many shots have you seen Don take? One? Two? This is the first time I've seen the Pelicans play without him!"

O'Neill's Tang Chuan also started to go online.

"That's because he doesn't need it."

Kenny Smith said something that was true, but heartbreaking for Thunder fans.

The Thunder team is good, but in comparison, they are far behind the Pelicans. Tang Tian really doesn't need to use his strength, the Thunder team has already fallen!

After the timeout, the Thunder made a substitution, and Grant replaced Griffin.

Apparently, Donovan was somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of the All-Star power forward.

Westbrook took the ball to the frontcourt and saw that the Pelicans were still defending a 2-3 zone defense. After passing the ball a few times from the outside to get a three-point opportunity, he directly pulled up and shot.

Three-pointers are not his forte.

He has made less than [-]% of his three-pointers throughout his career, and barely reached [-]% with a large number of shots last season.

"Shh!"

But at the critical moment, his three-pointer hit the net, breaking the scoring drought for the Thunder!

There was a burst of excited cheers from the Thunder's bench.

This three-pointer is so critical!

The Thunder had a mediocre record last season, but Westbrook played very well in several games against the Warriors, Pelicans, Mavericks, and Rockets.

He's the kind of player who is strong when he is strong.

Donovan finally breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines.

Westbrook didn't attack much after the start, and he still has to rely on him at the critical moment!

Westbrook's three-pointer boosted the morale of the Thunder, and they defended the Pelicans for almost 24 seconds.

However, the ball was given to Tang Tian in the end. Tang Tian broke through to the inside and forced a layup, causing Adams' shooting foul.

It seems that this is what Tang Tian needs to do now, to get the ball and hit it in when others can't.

And it's also singles, but it's much easier than before.

Because Walker and the others disrupted the opponent's defense, his singles defensive pressure at the last moment was actually not as great as before.

Tang Tian steadily scored two free throws.

17:3.

The Pelicans retreated to half court, and Stevens signaled the team to switch back to man-to-man defense from the sidelines.

Westbrook was marked by Tang Tian in the frontcourt.

Tang Tian could tell the difference between on and off the court, and he didn't stay behind the ball. Westbrook was blocked and had no chance to attack.

However, he still chose to make a strong attack, and Tang Tian almost directly blocked the strong shot that broke into the penalty area.

The ball hit the front of the basket and popped out, and the rebound was protected by Dedmon.

The Thunder's offense stopped again.

Donovan reached out and rubbed his forehead vigorously.

The strength of the Pelicans is not only a strong lineup and strength, they also have a young version of "Popovich".

As a former college coach, Donovan is well aware of Stevens' ability to coach.

At this moment, the Pelicans cooperated in the frontcourt position, and Butler took Walker's sudden three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Butler has it too!

20 is better than 3!

"wdnmd!"

In Donovan's heart, there was a feeling of [-] Cao Nima roaring past.

Chapter 69 Superstar wheel play (repair)

Butler has been defending with all his strength since the start. When he opened, the Pelicans really opened up.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Oladipo recovered some form, and scored 7 points in a row on the offensive end, helping the Thunder to stalemate the situation.

Nine minutes into this quarter, the score on the court was 9 to 33, and the Pelicans led by a big score.

The two sides entered the rotation one after another.

On the Thunder side, Westbrook took a break, Griffin reappeared, and Sabonis and Felton were also replaced.

The Pelicans also have a large rotation here. Except for Butler in the starting lineup, all the other main players are off the court to rest.

Brogdon, Bojan, Siakam and Harrell appeared one after another.

The Pelicans' offensive opportunity, Brogdon and Siakam returned the ball to Siakam on the three-point line after the pick-and-roll, and the latter's three-point shot hit the frame.

Sabonis protected the defensive rebound.

The Thunder attacked the frontcourt, Griffin hit Siakam with his back, and the shot after turning around caused the latter's thug to foul and made two free throws.

The Thunder narrowed the point difference to 15 points.

Donovan heaved a sigh of relief on the sidelines, and his originally frowning brows relaxed.

Griffin's poor opening performance is not entirely a bad thing, at least he can lead the team to chase points in the transition from the bench.
