Chapter 1321 The main force of death is on the verge of collapse~~
"That's all the preparation before the game. There's nothing else I want to say. I won't tell you any nonsense about a comeback, but I at least hope that we can win this game. Don't let our opponents really sweep us away.
"At least, let's win a game for our home fans." Billy Donovan said, and he was at his wits' end. The Lakers' strength and momentum were overwhelming them now.
A comeback in the series? Just coax the outsiders. As the head coach, I know very well that this is basically impossible.
The Thunder don't have this resilience either.
A 3-3 draw is a luxury. So he only has one idea now, just win the next game.
Let’s talk about the rest.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Director Zhang, do you think the Thunder will stick to the defensive style of the first two games?"
"I think so. Why? Mainly because now you see, the Thunder have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and they don't have the tactical literacy of the Spurs, so the more critical this time is, the less likely they are to change. I think.
The only way to win is to continue to play superstar ball. Once the Lakers open up like they did in the first game, they will have no way to survive."
"How do you think the Lakers will play tonight? Will our country's Tang Qian still be the main offensive point?"
"Probably. The Thunder's interior defense is not good. Adams can still take a look. Once the game continues and Kanter is replaced, he is waiting to be beaten by Tang Qian. He is the interior player who loses the most points defending the 5th position in the league.
, it’s not false. If I were Larry Brown, I would definitely continue to adhere to this style of play and principles.”
"Last point, Director Zhang, do you think the Thunder can force out the Lakers' trump card tonight?"
"Haha~ It's hard to say this~ I thought it would be the case in the last game, but the Lakers suppressed the opponent forcefully. It's hard to say tonight~"
Little Penguin Live Broadcast Room.
Fuck them. Lakers championship!!!!!!!!
Go for it! Lakers!!!!!!!!!
Emperor Tang will lead us to sweep!!!!!!!!!!
Because of the general trend, the barrages from Thunder fans were basically invisible. They were completely suppressed.
At the beginning of this game, the Thunder did not make any changes on the defensive end. They still focused on blocking the opponent's pick-and-roll and passing, trying not to let the opponent play high-quality passes and cuts. On the offensive end, they did make some adjustments. Surprisingly
He used two young players to attract the ball, and then gave the Thunder's role players a trick. This caught the Lakers off guard in the first few minutes.
What about the Lakers? They didn’t make any adjustments, but still strangled their two stars. This confused many people. Why didn’t they make any changes? The opponent is obviously looking for role players now. The two stars are just an attraction, aren’t they?
?Well, this is the genius of Larry Brown. The reason why he does this is very simple, just to bully you. In fact, except for the two young players in the Thunder's starting lineup, everyone else's scoring is average. Look, the third-year
Adams is basically a blue-collar player who only averages 8 points per game. His offense relies entirely on feeding and picking up. He has no chance of making long shots by himself. In addition, his opponent is Tang Qian, so there is almost no need to count on it. Before
Do you know how many points he scored in total in the three games? 6 points! In other words, he has scored 2 points per game in the current series! Even if the defender is not Tang Qian, Larry Brown doesn’t think he has to spend more.
Strong defense. There is also Andre Robertson left. This guy is also a typical offensive and defensive type. He averaged 4.8 points per game in the regular season this season. Forget it, the key is his basket, no. Three points in his career.
25% of the ball. If you give a little bit of defense, you have to hit the iron, or even if you don't defend, what will happen if you give it away? Can you still expect him to shoot the Lakers to death? Isn't that a big joke? As for Ibaka, this
The guy has really mastered the basket, and his three-point shooting percentage in the first three games has exceeded 44%! In addition, he is also extremely accurate in open mid-range shots, so this point must be defended and not let go.
After a comprehensive analysis, Larry Brown directly used the trick, and the two young men were still the main defensive targets, and then deliberately let go of the Thunder's Adams and Andre Robertson, allowing them to shoot at will from the outside. Tang Qian came in from the inside and then went to repair the protective basket.
.This time, it was equivalent to defeating Billy Donovan's army in an instant, and this tactic immediately collapsed.
Andre Robertson hit three-pointers continuously and couldn't get into the open space. If you lose this game, you will go home. The pressure is also huge. Now the Lakers have made it clear to let you go. Under the sudden increase in psychological pressure, Robertson is getting more and more shots.
The more he throws, the more impatient he gets. The same goes for Adams. If he throws the ball directly to you, Tang Qian is too lazy to go up, and the result is DuangDuang~ The Thunder's home commentator Brian Davis lamented: Oh my god,
Give them both a bit of a crosshair, this makes me anxious.
Well, Billy Donovan got himself into it, so he could only call a timeout and start making adjustments.
But how to adjust? It’s difficult. The tone tonight is the same as in the previous games, which is to play more superstar games, reduce tactical balls, and force the opponent to play singles with us. So after thinking about it, the only choice is to continue the old method before.
Westbrook started a four-second tactic, and then Durant saw the opportunity to make an air cut or catch the ball to execute a single. And this was also calculated by Larry Brown. It was not some magical calculation, but the opponent wanted to win.
We must play like this. Playing like this is the only hope of winning. Otherwise, if the Lakers are completely opened up, they will be dead ends. Their 1% hope of winning will be gone.
Therefore, the Lakers began to implement a partial attack on Durant. In Westbrook's case, they would defend alone outside the three-point line and assist in defense. They would adopt a "vulnerable trap" defense when breaking through to kill the basket. Then they would strengthen the interference and restriction of cross passes.
, try to let the opponent only pass the ball in the direction you want the opponent to pass. If each plays alone, Tang Qian is much more efficient, because the Thunder team has always only defended him alone, and did not dare to let Tang Qian pass the ball and activate the outside line, otherwise it will be completely
Finished. The Lakers vigorously strengthened their defensive control over the Thunder's twin stars, so the effect was obvious. The Lakers began to take the lead. After Tang Qian played a 2+1, the Lakers' lead reached 9 points. Westbrook and
Durant's shooting percentage during this period is ridiculously low.
Westbrook missed another three-pointer. He was like this. His hand felt good and accurate, bad and bad. However, I’m afraid even he himself doesn’t know when he will be accurate. Durant
It was completely due to the huge defensive interference. It was a one-on-two situation every time, which made him very uncomfortable. The physical exertion was not small. Seeing this, Billy Donovan decided that he could not do this anymore and could only
It's a gamble, otherwise we will definitely lose. At least we can reduce the score difference first.
Durant of the Thunder struck again, and the Lakers attacked and handed it over to Tang Qian. This time the Thunder suddenly double-teamed and Tang Qian made a mistake. The Thunder counterattacked and Westbrook went berserk. Taking advantage of the Lakers' failure to defend on the 29th,
Time, it was a one-stop dunk when he went in, and also caused a defensive foul on Ariza who came to defend. Swipe ~ free throw and hit 2+1.
The Lakers still gave it to Tang Qian, but the Thunder changed their formation and quickly double-teamed him. Tang Qian took the ball out and hit a three-pointer from the corner.
Hit? Do you want to continue? Billy Donovan held back. He was waiting. If the Lakers continued to hit long-range shots from outside, he could only admit defeat because there was nothing he could do. Westbrook didn’t know if that was the case.
The fast break just now activated his body's attributes, and he actually hit a three-pointer. The Thunder once again chased points, offsetting the Lakers' three-pointer from the bottom corner just now.
The Lakers gave the inside line, and the other team really double-teamed them directly. They didn't even need to help with defense, just because they were betting that you wouldn't be able to hit the outside shot when you passed the ball.
The pass was passed, and Butler made a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle. Damn it, he missed it.
Westbrook, Westbrook again, this guy actually caught the bomb ball and made a three-pointer from far away when Durant couldn't take the shot in isolation.
Swipe~Hit~Westbrook roared~The Chesapeake Energy Arena cheered~
Did this all go in? Damn~ This guy is really a three-pointer type~ I didn’t even make a shot for him before, but now it’s better, it’s very difficult, it’s really hard to guard. Rondo was also messed up by Westbrook’s one-man show.
It's a bit confusing, but you can't blame him. He didn't miss Westbrook's defense on these few balls, but the opponent just made hard shots and hit them with great difficulty, which didn't work.
Unless the defense is tighter, it will be easy for the opponent to take advantage of the super explosive power and get past him in one step.
If you doubt anything, don't doubt Westbrook's physical fitness. If you doubt anything, there must be something wrong with you.
Seeing that Westbrook was playing well these days, Billy Donovan asked him to attack more, and he would die.
Don't tell me that he doesn't have "ink". Even now, if you don't fight, you have to fight. The strength gap between the two sides is too big.
The Lakers have been caught up by their opponents recently. The main reason is that the three-point shot is broken. Especially Butler, who made 0 of 3 three-pointers. This suddenly gave the opponent a lot of opportunities. Butler's performance this season
The three-pointer is really a big hole. It's just like the original time and space. During the offseason, I just focused on holding the ball and gaining weight, and ignored the consolidation and improvement in this aspect.
And in this game, Billy Donovan really got ruthless and used the same tactics used by NCAA coaches to screw over the stars. If you look carefully, up to now, even in substitute time, the Thunder's twin stars
, have they never gone down before? At least one of them was left behind to let the other rest off the court and recover. What about now? What about this time? So far, the two of them have not gone down for a minute or a second.
Billy Donovan seemed to have found the feeling of college coaching all of a sudden, and he became very passionate and said: "Come on!!!!!!!!! Boys!!!! We can win!!!!"
!!!!Keep it up!!!!!!!!!Keep fighting!!!!!!Keep scoring!!!!!!!!!We can win!!!!!!!!!
"
As soon as the Lakers came down, Larry Brown looked at the main players, especially No. 29: "I just want to ask you, the opponent's core will not leave the game for a second tonight, can you do it?" The reply he got
Of course you can. Don't forget Billy Dovano. Back then, Larry Brown was a typical supporter of the 7-man rotation. Compared with the stars and the main force, do you think he is not a master? You
Think he is just a novice? Besides, isn't it the NCAA? He has been coaching for many years and has won championships. So, this is what Larry Brown does, right?
It's just one game. If you win against the Lakers, you can get many days of rest. What are you afraid of?
If you don’t give in, we won’t give in either. Let’s see who is more ruthless!
At this moment, Zhang Weiping sighed: Larry Brown has a really tough personality and his coaching style is the same, he doesn't give in at all.
This also made Lakers fans wave their flags and shout on the Internet, Just be tough! Just be tough! Who is afraid of whom!!!
Both sides began to fight for their stars. As the game escalated, the defense and intensity also continued to improve. It was obvious that the Thunder really wanted to win this game. However, the Lakers just refused to agree! Tang Qian attacked
Duan also started to get aggressive. When there was a ball, he pushed away two people and dunked! It immediately boosted the morale of the Lakers! Adams and Ibaka tried their best to get the ball, but they still couldn't block it. This No. 29,
The damage inside is too strong! He must not have tried his best in the regular season!
Averaging 25 points per game? This is definitely not his limit!!!
However, it seemed that they were taking care of the Thunder. It seemed that the Thunder was playing at home and the Thunder would be eliminated if they lost this game. Therefore, the referees on duty had a tacit understanding and improved the physical confrontation of this game. Some fouls should have been committed.
All the confrontational actions have now been let go, so Adams has been able to stay on the court without falling into the foul crisis again. However, this scale is two-way, otherwise it will become favoritism and manipulation. Therefore, on the Thunder team,
The pressure also increased. Westbrook also started to hit the iron. The magic just now could not be maintained. Durant felt a wave of touch, but soon, problems would arise.
Because his physical fitness is not good enough.
Fighting like this, using it like this, later on, let alone defense, offense is no longer reliable.
The Lakers are also waiting. The Thunder have no more moves. The Lakers have shown their toughness, so they don't change their formation and just wait.
What are you waiting for? Wait until the Thunder can't hold on and collapse on their own.
At the end of the third quarter, Durant began to fail to score. He needed to slow down, but now the Thunder cannot do without him. If Westbrook is alone, he will be completely surrounded. Durant is the Thunder after all.
The real scoring ace, his scoring stability is the team's No. 1. The last attack of the third quarter is still in the hands of the Thunder. If the Thunder can score this goal, they can make the score difference
Narrow it down to single digits. Look at the score difference, it's exactly 10 points.
Durant held the ball and got it very early, which meant he was going to hit the arc in singles. The Lakers switched to Covington to guard early, Durant moved, Covington followed, and Durant made a
A sudden three-pointer with a slight fadeaway. To be honest, this ball is very handsome. If it had gone in, it would probably be a highlight. Durant also completed a big shot in this place, in the same position.
The three-pointer was an accurate three-pointer. Even the posture was the same. Covington struggled to block the shot, but Durant was faster and shot cleanly. Grant Long, the Thunder's on-site commentator, started shouting:
"Three points~"
Unfortunately, with the sound of "dang", the whole audience turned into sighs.
Durant was also stunned and shouted in his heart:
What? Why didn't I score? I've obviously scored a goal in this position! And my posture is so handsome and beautiful. Do you know how much effort I put into practicing this cool cry action? I thought of my celebration after scoring a goal.
That’s it.
Damn it, Lord! Didn’t I pray to you just now? Why did you do this to me?
Don’t expect me to give you any benefits in the future!!!
10 points, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with 10 points.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Thunder are on the verge of collapse.
Just a little more, and it will be defeated and catastrophic.
