Chapter 531: Using an unreliable three-point score to test cadres is unscientific, but it scored!
"Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt without any further waste. He handed the damn basketball into the hands of Durant outside the left three-point line and challenged Leonard with the ball..."
The Three Threats probed, unable to detect Leonard's depth, and instead were entangled in Leonard's death coil.
He put his feet back and feinted, and was immediately pressed tightly by Leonard.
Hong Kong True, Durant's offensive rhythm is not good at this time. It is a reasonable way to transfer the ball, change the position, and then directly attack Leonard.
Just say OK and take a break. What does that mean?
At this moment, Durant is in a dilemma. He has no post-up ability, is locked by Leonard's death entanglement, and has Westbrook, an old six, who is beating around him. If the pass is passed out, it is very likely that he will not be able to come back.
Already.
Not even a possibility, but a certainty.
I don’t know if Westbrook can do it, but he will take action without hesitation!
With no choice, Durant had no choice but to play unreasonably.
"Swaying left and right, Durant dribbled the ball forward, collided with Leonard's body, lost his center of gravity, stumbled to the side and couldn't fall back.
Like a crab that passively changes its route, it moves out of the space, adjusts its rhythm, pulls up and shoots, and raises its hand to shoot a two-point pull-up jumper..."
Leonard guessed the beginning of the physical confrontation and had the advantage, but he didn't guess that Durant was unreasonable. He pulled it up and shot. He flew over to block the shot but still couldn't reach it. He could only bet on Durant's two-point pistol.
No bullets.
Bang-dang——!
Wrong guess, Durant's pistol has no bullets.
"No hit!
The basketball hoop flew out!
Hey, Yin Baka stood up and grabbed the basketball in the frontcourt. Duncan held him close and didn't find a chance to make a follow-up. When he saw Durant rushing in, he immediately passed the ball.
Durant made an air cut, took the ball, jumped up in the paint, and was about to dunk the basketball.
Duncan reacted quickly and jumped up at the same time, firmly covering the basket.
Durant didn't go up to meet Duncan, pulled Zhu in the air, changed the dunk into a hook, and... no, the basketball made a half circle on the rim, but still rolled out..."
Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came up, but Durant didn't use it.
The king-explosion combination, if both kings can't explode, it means nothing.
The rebound was taken by Duncan, who immediately passed the ball to Parker to advance, took the ball to the front court, then played music, and then provided support from the high post.
"Diaw's card was turned over, and Parker passed the ball to Diaw.
Then, he cut inside without the ball, used Diaw's screen to block Westbrook, received the ball from Diaw, Parker took the ball, Euro-stepped a layup, and drifted to hit the board..."
Perkins moved too slowly and was driven to the bottom by Parker's sharp breakthrough. Then, he shot easily. He used his hands to block the shot, and then slapped the exhaust gas of the basketball, only slapping Lonely.
Peng, shua——!
"Another successful offense from Parker!
So relaxing!
This homework was copied very professionally, and it smelled like a triangle offense.
Audi serves as the pivot, passing the ball after the high screen. Parker, who cuts inside, can either get rid of Westbrook, or he can catch the ball and use his speed to defeat Perkins' rim protection.
With simple cooperation, you can immediately attack the Thunder's defensive flaws. It's really unbeatable..."
9 to 15!
The point difference became 6 points!
To be fair, being only 6 points behind at the start is nothing to worry about. There is still a lot of time left for the Thunder to chase points!
Off the court, Scott Brooks's face became more solemn.
I saw Durant continuing to hold the ball and challenge Leonard one-on-one, a scoring champion picks up a rookie... No, he picked Leonard, but he couldn't win the key. It was so funny.
The reality is so cruel!
He has no post-up ability, is not good at physical confrontation, and has not found the shooting touch. In addition, Leonard is extremely talented and very long. He keeps reaching out in front of the basketball and follows him like a shadow.
The three threats were trying to find a way around Leonard, but he couldn't find any loopholes. Instead, he was pressed hard and bullied.
Durant could only dribble back and avoid Leonard's pressing. When he changed direction and moved forward with the ball, Leonard did not lose his step. He fought and retreated, and continued to use Death Coil.
"With breakthrough skills, Durant can't find any room for breakthrough.
The physical confrontation is too weak. You call this the scoring leader...
coming!
Forcibly breaking through and creating space, Durant took the ball and shot. He became unreasonable and Leonard was not used to him. He jumped up at the same time and covered Durant's entire face with his big hands. Durant could only rely on
It feels like I made the shot..."
Bang-dang——!
Still missed!
Durant's forceful pull will only cause him to rub outside and hit the iron.
"Too soft!
The defensive intensity in the playoffs has increased, and Durant can only gamble on his touch by shooting from the outside!
It's the right time to kill your opponent!
When he is not accurate, he will also kill his teammates..."
Durant's style of play is both an angel and a devil!
It cannot be said that it is exactly the same as Westbrook's style, it can only be said that it is very similar.
Really. A crouching dragon and a young phoenix!
The backboard was protected by the Spurs, and they turned around to attack. Parker didn't play again. He made a steady move and lobbed the basketball into the low post to get the ball to Duncan. He turned his back and hit Yin Baka. He shot with a rebound. There was a clang, but the shot also missed.
.
The Thunder's basket could not be protected, giving the Spurs a chance to attack.
Fortunately, God is on the Thunder's side.
Even as steady as Duncan, there are times when he fails.
It's a pity that it still can't change the situation where the Thunder can't attack and defend.
Off the court, Scott Brooks couldn't sit still. When Du Shao and Westbrook didn't feel comfortable, and Su Bei had no chance, he played Harden's card and replaced Perkins.
At this time, the Thunder's lineup was dominated by the Thunder's fourth youngster, Su Bei, who fully utilized their offensive attributes.
The defense was unstoppable, and he had no choice but to attack.
Not to mention, as soon as Harden came on the court, he immediately beat Diaw, made a European step layup, stopped and shot from close range, and scored two points.
Subsequently, the Thunder team's formation spread out. Su Bei went to the basket without the ball, moved to the left, received Durant's pass, raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.
The Thunder scored 5 points in a row to stabilize the situation on the court.
However, the Thunder's offense opened up the situation, but their defense was still unable to withstand it.
In addition, Bo Povich also quickly made adjustments. Knowing that he could not defend himself, he replaced Danny Green with Ginobili. His offensive attributes improved and he continued to be in a state of full firepower.
The Spurs held on to their lead while fighting aggressive attacks.
Buzz——!
After the first quarter, the Spurs had a 6-point lead with a score of 30-24.
Westbrook made 1 of 4, Yin Baka 1 of 3, Perkins 0 of 2, the inside line was not good, and the point guard was not strong. He only relied on the forward and defensive line Durant's 3 of 6 shots, and Su Bei's 5.
The offensive firepower of 2-for-3 and Harden's 2-for-2 is far from enough.
Led by Parker, who scored 5 of 7 and scored 10 points in a single quarter, the Spurs were able to achieve a situation where everyone was on the ball and flourished. Finally, Duncan made 2 of 6, and his performance was just okay, so he didn't defeat the Thunder.
…
Fight again in the next quarter!
Scott Brooks wanted to replicate the situation in the G1 game and sent out a rich lineup like Collison, Durant, Su Bei, Harden, and Billups to teach the Spurs how to understand talent and card advantage.
You can do whatever you want.
Bo Povich responded calmly and sent out an unremarkable lineup such as Steele, Red Mamba Bonner, Warrior Jackson, Demon Sword Ginobili, and Gary Neal.
Just looking at the cards, the advantage lies with the Thunder.
The second quarter started with the Thunder attacking the ball.
Billups dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and faced Gary Neal. Instead of being a reckless person like Westbrook, he chose to be a dealer.
"Turn over Harden's card, take the ball and change direction, European step to break through Ginobili.
The defense was like a paper lake, and Harden suddenly broke through to the bottom. Then, he shot... no, under the basket, Harden attracted all the defense, hit the ground, and sent the basketball to the left three-point corner.
Su Bei was free, caught the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
Bonner paid attention to recovering and protecting the basket, but his athletic ability was poor. It was too late to save and he could only listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei hit a three-pointer accurately!
"pretty!
Su Bei's three-point shooting is called professional!
You can't relax. Once you relax, he won't just hang around outside..."
27 to 30!
With Su Bei's three-pointer from the Cloud Piercer, the point difference was narrowed to 3 points.
During the transition between offense and defense, Gary Neal brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately distributed the ball to Ginobili.
"Same one-on-one challenge with Harden with the ball, same change of direction, European step to break through with the ball.
Harden was in a hurry, he fought and retreated, he was about to lose, oh, he took action..."
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee punished Harden's thug for a foul, and Ginobili easily got a free throw opportunity.
When faced with the question of giving points, there is no mercy, two points will be scored, and the target will be hit steadily.
27 to 32!
The score difference became 5 points!
The Spurs don't know how to defend, and neither can the Thunder!
The Thunder have good cards and strong offensive capabilities, but on the defensive end, they are just a little brother!
However, basketball is not about counting, nor is it about stacking chips. You cannot win and score points just by playing all the games.
Bang-dang——!
Billups reached the top of the arc and attempted a pull-up three-point shot, hoping to continue the blow to the Spurs' defense.
It's just a pity that Billups had a wonderful idea, but he didn't bring a microwave. He would have died if he tried to make a three-pointer, and he missed the mark.
The Spurs switched from defense to offense and handed the damn basketball into Ginobili's hands. Facing Harden's defense, they continued to break through with the ball and changed direction, using an outrageous posture, just like passing through the streets in the early morning.
Generally speaking, he passed Harden.
"The Thunder's defense shrank back to defend the basket!
Ginobili reached the bottom, pushed the basketball to the left three-point corner while running.
Bonner caught the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
Su Bei jumped out, but it was also too late!
This is the Spurs' classic tactic, called the hammer tactic. Su Bei can only listen to the gunshots.
Swish——!
"Yes!
Bonner's three-pointer is also very hard!
Get back the points you just lost on Su Bei!
Ginobili's sudden score was equally wonderful. He copied Harden's work just now. In the same way, he assisted his teammate to hit a three-pointer. The two people's styles of play cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they can only be said to be very similar..."
27 to 35!
The point difference became 8 points!
Off the court, Scott Brook was not panicked.
The question is about the rotation battle. The Thunder have a deeper bench and the advantage is on their side. It is the Spurs who should be panicking.
However, 4 minutes later, the Thunder did not see the advantage, but saw a wave of iron show.
A dozen takes more than 3 minutes!
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
After Billups finished the shot, he passed the ball to Collison without making any more moves. As a result, he took an open shot. It was a close shot or the shot missed.
Immediately afterwards, it was Harden's turn to take the shot, but he still missed.
Durant, the scoring champion, has no problem, right?
Unexpectedly, Warriors Saint Jackson used strong defense to stop Durant and forced a pull-up, but also missed.
Although Harden counterattacked, went to the frontcourt, and dunked to break the blacksmith situation.
However, for the next two minutes or so, the Thunder continued to play and play.
When the Thunder were desperate, Su Bei took action, but as a result, there was still no three-point shot!
On the contrary, the Spurs' rotation performed well.
In terms of personal ability and physical talent, they really can't compare to the talent and ability of the Thunder. However, the Spurs play more like a whole.
Ginobi used his sharp sword to rush to the basket and pass the ball to Gary Neal. The latter continued to break through with the ball, making the Thunder's defense exhausted, and then sent the basketball to the already empty big man Stilly.
Special hand.
Bang-dang——!
Faced with the question of awarding points, Steelit was not famous, but he steadily got the results.
Show good basic skills!
After that, he continued to break through, distribute the ball, screen, break through, pass...
"Stilrit got the ball under the basket, he was empty, he didn't shoot, and passed the ball to Danny Green who returned to the court to shoot.
Got it!
An easy layup and two points..."
The Thunder's basket and defense were shattered by the impact!
And this was just the beginning. The constant bursts turned the Thunder's defense into a turtle formation. Then, the Spurs' passes were distributed to the three-point line.
Wu Sheng Jackson took an open three-point shot, and with a bang, he continued to add firepower.
After a 14-5 shock wave, the Spurs widened the point difference to 13 points.
Seeing that the game was about to collapse, Scott Brooks had no choice but to replace Westbrooks.
Miraculously, Westbrook came on the court and used his unreliable three-pointers to test the Spurs' defense.
Swish——!
"OMG!
Westbrook scored a three-pointer!
Oh, the Thunder shouldn't have lost their lives. They actually used their weakest link to score. This is very unscientific, but they scored..."
He also made 3 of 4 three-pointers. Westbrook used unscientific and unreasonable offensive methods to score, giving the Thunder another life.
When Su Bei, Durant, Billups and other players were not reliable offensively, Westbrook surprised everyone with a three-pointer and only allowed the Spurs to beat the Thunder 28 to 22.
score.
At the end of the first half, the score was 58 to 46. With a 12-point deficit, the Thunder entered the locker room to rest.
Durant made 1 of 3, Su Bei made 1 of 4 three-pointers, Billups made 0 of 3, Harden made 3 of 6...
Westbrook made 3 of 4 three-pointers and became the Thunder's best offensive player. It is not surprising that the score fell behind.
The Spurs still continue to have an offensive situation where everyone is on the same team and have more blossoms. It is really unstoppable!
