Chapter 404: Coach, we just want to play seriously, put away your old magic power!
"In the Thunder's offensive round, at this moment, they not only need to be tough, but also have endurance, otherwise the game will be in jeopardy!
Westbrook continued to rush forward and immediately passed the ball after halftime.
This is okay!
Westbrook usually plays with great enthusiasm and looks confused. I never expected that he is so ambitious that he knows how to hand over that damn basketball to Durant..."
In fact, he also wanted to play by himself, but his shooting skills were so bad that he had no choice.
Collison is on the court, but it is an option. His shooting is usually accurate, but it is difficult to be accurate at critical times.
"Feinting, dribbling the ball to break through, being challenged and retreating to keep up. While moving, Durant completed the change of direction. After Nowitzki reacted, he continued to play music, and then changed direction..."
In Nowitzki's impossible, impossible eyes, Durant pulled out and shot, finishing the job easily.
Swish——!
“Beautiful!! Two points scored!!
Looking at Durant's skinny appearance, I didn't expect him to be so tough. The key is that he is so accurate and so durable. It's no wonder he won two scoring titles.
The Thunder did give him a lot of shooting opportunities, but he was used..."
Although he looks like a foreman and doesn't look like a superstar, his good looks are not what he plays with, but his strength is what he has.
At the beginning of the game, Durant had already scored 7 points, while the Thunder only scored 8 points.
Off the court, Coach Carlisle did not regard Durant, the two-time scoring champion, as alive.
Seeing the chemistry of the Mavericks' current lineup, which was about to beat the Thunder, and the game lasted another 5 minutes, he decided to make a change!
If you are not active in your life, there is something wrong with your brain!
If you don't work hard, who knows you are a master tactician?
As a coach, you have to find opportunities to show your abilities. Otherwise, how can you increase your annual salary? How can you sign a good contract renewal price?
Hong Kong Zhen, the truth behind this, Carlisle is still very thorough, so he waved his hand and used his old magic power.
Haywood replaced Chandler, Terry replaced Kidd, and Stojakovic replaced Nowitzki.
"Huh? The Mavericks have made a long-term plan so early.
Carlisle's substitutions are so inexplicable, but there should be a few hundred million things that can help the Mavericks eliminate the Lakers and advance to the Western Conference Finals..."
With Stojakovic on the court, Su Bei moved to the small forward position and faced Durant. After all, Stojakovic's defense was all about giving away points.
If Northern Jiangsu doesn’t take up the post, who will take over?
"Terry brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately dribbled the ball forward.
At this time, Su Bei and Stojakovic switched positions on the left and right wings. After the shuffle, Sefolosha was blocked, Durant switched to defend Su Bei, but Stojakovic was empty...
"
Two of the league's top 10 three-point shooters both have excellent off-the-ball skills, which is inherently difficult to defend. Now the two are joining forces to cooperate, which simply doesn't give the Thunder a way to defend.
The Thunder can only target one of them. Su Bei's hands are very hot. Stojakovic has just come on the field and doesn't know the situation, so he can only try to gamble.
"Terry broke through and scored. Outside the 50-degree three-point line on the right side, Stojakovic caught the ball, jumped up, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper..."
Sefolosha has good athletic ability and a strong defensive awareness. He knows that he is lagging behind, but his attitude cannot be lost and he fights very actively.
Stojakovic's shooting posture is very standard, but it's a pity that no matter how standard the action is, it still depends on whether it goes in. It's useless to stick around on the outside.
Bang-dang——!
Stojakovic's three-pointer missed, and the ball missed.
"There is no three-pointer, but the opportunity has come out. Stojakovic just came on the field, and his hands are a little bit cold. He didn't bring a microwave..."
"The basketball was taken by Yin Baka, and he passed the ball to Westbrook who rushed with the ball.
Terry couldn't stand it, couldn't suppress the turtle's recklessness...
Quickly rushing to the frontcourt, Westbrook played very steadily and passed the ball to Durant.
Lifting the ball and feinting, Su Bei didn't dare to release the shot and rushed out, but Durant went in.
Changing direction, Su Bei's defense was broken again, and Marion could only pounce.
Huh?
Durant is very ambitious and chooses to split the ball and gamble on three-pointers.
Stojakovic returned to defense too slowly, Sefolosha was free, caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Sefolosha's three-pointer went through the net.
Got in!!
Finally, I finally opened my scoring account.
11 to 13!!
"The Mavericks' advantage was gone in two or three plays.
A team that plays on the fly is so unstable. If they can't make a shot, they will give their opponents a chance.
Of course, the Thunder had a good grasp of the offense. Durant became the most handsome boy on the court and acted like a superstar. He almost single-handedly pulled the Thunder out of the quagmire and was about to catch up with the lead.
The calf…”
Bang-dang——!
Stojakovic and Su Bei played cover, and the opportunity came up again.
This time, Stojakovic held firm and chose to score two points, but in the end, there was none.
"The Thunder's defensive skills are not that good, but their vision is good. They know that Stojavic's offensive pistol is out of bullets, and they would rather leave Stojavic open than give Subei an open space to receive the ball.
The Thunder got a chance to tie the game, let's see how they played?
Westbrook dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, suddenly exploded, and accelerated to break through. Terry was not slow, but his strength was weak. Marion rushed to wipe his butt..."
Marion is familiar with this operation. Once upon a time, he wiped a lot of them around Nash, including Terry.
"Westbrook continues to be reckless.
Huh? He passed the ball and Collison was free in the low post.
He caught the ball, lifted it up, and knocked Haywood away, turned around, pulled the ball up, and lobbed it in the air..."
Swish——!
Collison teased Haywood and easily scored the basketball, scoring two points.
Westbrook, however, was lonely. He didn't get the sewer job, and he really didn't have many assists.
After all, even if his teammates don’t know how to be a forward, during key offensive moments, they take action before they even know how to catch the ball. It’s too difficult for him!!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Chandler rested, and the Mavericks' ability to protect the basket dropped by another dimension.
At the same time, Nowitzki went off the court, and the Mavericks' offense also went for it.
Coach Carlisle is really a smart guy. How did he come up with the idea to destroy the Mavericks' offense and defense..."
All I can say is that this person is also a talented person with a good hand. I don’t know what he thinks?
Could it be that there are too many veteran actors on hand, and they all want to try and give them more roles?
It's just a pity that if you try it, you will die and be smashed into your hands.
Sometimes, if you don't use the old actors well, you will not be able to perform well in the script.
Compared with coach Carlisle who is obsessed with old dramas, coach Scott Brooks likes to use fresh meat.
Although Xiao Xianrou's acting skills are not very good, his talent is there. As long as he steps on the stage, he will be the protagonist.
"Westbrook continued to rush forward and broke through with the ball in the frontcourt. Terry couldn't resist it and broke through to the left. Su Bei could only help defend.
The Mavericks' defense shrank and there wasn't much room for attack. Westbrook made a few reckless moves and immediately passed the ball behind him. Durant caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."
The two-time scoring champion is still short?
Su Bei also knew that if he pounced on him, he would have no choice but to act like a dead horse: I bet there are no bullets in your pistol!
Swish——!
"It was so accurate, Durant never missed a shot in the first quarter, and Su Bei was also blown away.
Durant, with his full shooting skills and attributes, is unstoppable..."
15 to 13!!
The Thunder team, which was lagging behind, relied on Durant's superb performance to complete the comeback.
Of course, Coach Carlisle's magic power is also indispensable. This old coach single-handedly ruined the Mavericks' offensive chemistry.
Bang-dang——!
Terry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, one step away from the three-point line, raised the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper. Anyway, the shots of his teammates around him were not reliable.
The one who shoots the ball, why can't it be him?
It's just a pity that he also sent his shot. He would die if he tried it. It's not unreasonable.
“The Mavericks focus on jump shots, and their offense is unstable and unusual.
What's strange is that they can be so unstable. After 3 minutes, their shots are all solid and sharp. How did they do it?
Moreover, they also lost everything defensively. How did they do it?
It’s simply outrageous to go out and meet him, it’s so outrageous..."
"Westbrook broke through, went to the penalty area, passed the ball to Yin Baka under the basket, and shot a jump shot from close range..."
Swish——!
Yin Baka defends the strong and attacks the weak, and he also attacks.
The Mavericks were stunned. It was obvious that it was the Mavericks who got the script to defeat their opponents at the beginning!
"I just want to shout: Coach, I just want to play basketball seriously, put away your magical powers!"
In the next game, the Mavericks attacked with two-pointers, but with the Thunder's ability to protect the basket, they were still unable to withstand it, allowing them to score one or two two-pointers.
However, the three-point shot was a dead-end.
Whether it was Stojakoci or Su Bei, all their three-point shots were sent.
While the Mavericks are sick, I will kill you!
With a wave of his hand, Scott Brooks replaced James Harden, the third overall pick in 2009.
The three young men of the Thunder were all alive. Next, you would take one shot, and I would take another one. The Mavericks seemed to have been defeated and could not withstand it at all.
I don’t know what the problem is, it’s just that I can’t attack or defend, so what can I do to stop it?
You can't stand it!
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 31 to 22. The Thunder started from being defeated and completed the result of defeating their opponents, taking a 9-point lead.
Durant performed superbly and never missed an offense. He made 6 of 6 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points in a single quarter.
Although Westbrook made 2 of 5, Yin Baka 1 of 4, and Harden made 1 of 2, Durant's superstar performance still defeated the Mavericks, who suddenly stalled on both offense and defense.
Nowitzki made 4 of 4 and 2 of 2 free throws. He had a super performance of 10 points in half a quarter, but his teammates were helpless. Coupled with the performance of head coach Carlisle, despite the dream, the Mavericks fell behind.
