Here, Westbrook has begun to shoot. When he comes up again, Westbrook shoulders the heavy burden. Thomas Jr. of the Lakers cannot stop him at all, but the effect is much better when he plays Beverley. Beverley is not afraid of this kind of body
Confrontation. Unless you are much stronger than him, otherwise, this is not a problem. Mad dog defense cannot be blocked. So, it is George. The biggest improvement after George came to the Thunder is that the combination of sudden shots has been greatly improved.
Well, in the past, his offensive power with the ball was not very high except for his shooting threat. But after coming to the Thunder, he seemed to be a different person. This aspect has been greatly improved. To be honest, if it weren't for Westbrook, he would still be a
Averaging a triple-double per game, George is more like the anchor of this team.
General Qiao, this season has been a bit impressive. To be able to recover so well after a serious injury, George is also a ruthless person.
It's hard to tell how much effort was put into it. At that time, how many people thought that he would just be abolished? I'm afraid they were countless.
In fact, the Thunder play a typical small forward lineup. If you look at Anthony and George, they are both forwards. Who do you think is the 4th position? Now that the Thunder acquired Corey Brewer from the Clippers,
, equal to 3 forwards. George and Brewer have height, but lack of tonnage. Anthony has tonnage and is often pushed to the fourth position. You say you are unwilling? Sorry, at this stage, it is obviously better for George to play the third position than
You have an advantage. If you don't want to come off the bench, then you can just play at the fourth position. See here, although the Lakers used Covington to defend George, it still didn't work well. What's wrong with George's play?
Speaking of which, I like super gods and super ghosts, which is normal tonight, but he used his pick-and-roll three-pointer to make Covington a little confused. I didn't expect George's three-pointers to be so accurate this season. Yes, this
40% of the three-point shots this season are about 8 per game. Do you think it can be accurate?
And George was very smart tonight. He used the pick-and-roll to play, and Brewer also had three-pointers. With two people on the pick-and-roll, there is always a chance. This is not the playoffs, and the defensive intensity cannot be that high. The scale must be controlled. Now
After all, this is the offensive era. Well, you shoot. Covington and Kuzma of the Lakers looked at it and wanted to let George go. As a result, his shots became more and more accurate. There was no way.
His mentality is a bit messed up. But since George has neither a super god nor a super ghost tonight, that's good. He can't save the Thunder team alone. And not to mention, the Thunder team can still defend Durant.
Rand is a hot man.
Since Durant can defend him, how much more is he a "mere" Pickled Pepper George?
Although it is a joke, Westbrook's offensive efficiency at critical moments is really unflattering.
And he's a bit sticky.
Therefore, when playing from behind, some teams would rather let Westbrook throw to prevent him from hitting the basket than let George and Durant throw. Because Westbrook is too easy to get frustrated and likes to make continuous throws.
Really, Kobe was shooting at people, with a shooting percentage of more than 30%, and it was around 35% at his peak. If it weren't for the torn Achilles tendon in the last few seasons, which extremely affected the take-off three-pointer and dragged down a huge
On the back foot, close to 34% in his career is still okay. You have to know that in that era, this was a very good three-point shooting percentage. Kobe also likes to attack difficulties and take the blame. Just talk about a mathematical problem, I am afraid many people will
I didn’t think about it. Kobe Bryant averaged 4 three-pointers in his career. If he could miss one less 24-second three-pointer in 6 to 7 games and make one less bomb shot with only 5 seconds left,
His career three-point shooting percentage will soar to 38%. Isn't it amazing? This may be just a possibility for others, but for Kobe, the man who takes over the blame, it is not a problem at all. For example, in 2010
In the sixth game of the playoffs of 2017, Kobe scored 9 of the team's last 13 points. You can watch the video of these 9-pointers. Basically, they were all taking the blame. None of them were reasonable.
There is no chance for Kobe to handle it. So if you really want to see this kind of shot, it can be said that even after Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon, this kind of shot was almost in every game. So 6 to 7 games
One less is not a problem at all.
Even speaking of the most conservative situation.
In contrast, Durant is quite scheming. He said that if his shooting percentage was not high that night, he would not be willing to take such catch-up shots so as not to affect his shooting percentage. This is completely true. News
Interview screenshots, all available. But Kobe’s open three-pointer is very accurate. Although it is not as good as Curry Thompson, he can definitely shoot you to death if he lets it go. Otherwise, why didn’t Popovich let him go?
As for the meter, I dare not let it go even 1 meter. I am just saying this to let you know that Westbrook’s three-point shot is different from Kobe’s. Although Kobe said that Westbrook is similar to him, but the paranoia is similar, but his shooting ability is definitely not the same.
Like. Because it was just an open three-pointer, Westbrook still couldn't make it!
This is the fatal injury.
So when playing against the Thunder, sometimes you don't even have to think of a way, Westbrook will kill him by himself.
But Westbrook's three-pointer was okay tonight, so there's no need to let him go.
The two sides started to fight for a while, but the Lakers were happy to do so.
Kuzma received a handoff from Tang Qian in the middle and went down to the basket.
Yi Jianlian takes the ball and shoots directly from the outside. He has a height advantage, and they are not very tall here. The only tall guy has to come over to guard No. 29, and he has no time to care about others. In fact, Adams feels like caring for everyone himself.
I'm half dead. I've never been so tired playing basketball. Every time I fight, I'm exhausted.
The Thunder used the pick-and-roll, and Westbrook directly attacked. Yes, he switched hands in the air and hit a layup.
Westbrook felt it was coming. He shot a zombie jumper, went straight up and down, and hit.
Forcibly holding the ball, he made a three-pointer and hit it.
Pretending to be a pick-and-roll from the high post, he actually hit the strong side directly. Then, with a high throw, the basketball easily hit the net.
That's what Westbrook is like. When he comes, he feels like he's playing very well, as if he's invincible. But Tang Qian knows very well that he can't last long. Yes, it's just not long enough. There's really no other meaning to this, don't get it wrong, it's just
His state is just not lasting enough. Such a short performance is just his regular operation. After he can make the fans happy, he will immediately drag you to hell and stomp on you hard. Therefore, regarding Westbrook's continuous scoring,
Tang Qian didn't take it seriously. He just directed the team to play slowly and unhurriedly. The rookie Kuzma was a little anxious watching this ball. He once again killed Westbrook under the basket and caused a defensive deficit.
After Yi Jianlian committed a foul, he worriedly said: Boss Tang, do you want to double-team and restrict this hot man? I think he is feeling better now. Otherwise...
Unexpectedly, Tang Qian waved his hands and said: No need, no need, he won't be able to survive for a long time anyway. He is not durable enough. And I hope he keeps fighting like this.
What? Why? Kuzma was confused.
Tang Qian laughed and said: Otherwise, how could we defend George and the other Thunder players who were so good at it? Right?
This...are all the great people these days talking so profoundly? Kuzma doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter, he will know it soon. The Lakers just don't double-team or help defend Westbrook, you Westbrook can do it yourself
Ah, anyway, we can just score ourselves. No rush, no hurry. Beverley was also mentally burdened at first, but after hearing No. 29 comforting himself a few times, he also adjusted his mentality and just defended Russell normally.
Just Westbrook.
Tang Qian said, they wouldn't be able to catch up anyway.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. It is really easy for Tang Qian to hit the Thunder's inside line. If the opponent starts to vigorously assist defense, then he will just hit the ball. Anyway, the Thunder's defense is not systematic at all. There is Anthony on the court.
If you are holding back, your defensive system will be of no use. This ball double-teamed Tang Qian quickly and he was in a good position. However, after Tang Qian released the ball, Anthony clearly had the opportunity to go over and defend. As a result, he stood in front of Tang Qian.
Here, I just took two steps, and then watched Thomas Jr. of the Lakers make this three-pointer.
This is really... sad and demoralizing.
Westbrook really wanted to curse. He immediately turned on the CD and wanted to lead the team to attack continuously. As a result, the cooling time of turning on the CD was not over yet, so... the effect was not good. His state, after the start of the fourth quarter,
, has declined. Well, this is right. If you Westbrook can explode in every game, then I will admit it. But more often, it should be like this now. Your instability is the fault of everyone.
Things you know. So, defending you is actually more about you defending yourself.
The Thunder used a high pick-and-roll and cut outside. George gave the ball very quickly. Westbrook had an opportunity. He rushed after getting the ball. His speed and explosiveness were absolutely top-notch. He saw a slight opportunity from the outside, and that was
I'm going to be in trouble. Except for Rose at his peak and Iverson at his peak, I'm afraid there are few people who can match this man's breakthrough explosiveness. This is also one of the highlights of Westbrook's game that attracts fans. He is indeed in good health, Bay.
Even defensive generals like Foley were so embarrassed by him, but... this ball should be an opportunity. As a result, Westbrook made a strike. The basketball hit the rim, and the Lakers protected the rebound, and then directly
Push quickly.
Hurry up and hit Carmelo Anthony.
This really left George speechless. He immediately returned to defense, trying to help Anthony delay. As soon as Anthony saw George coming, he actually completely gave up his defensive position and asked George to defend the ball.
.No, brother, Brother Gua, I’m here to help you delay. Why are you getting the ball out of the way? If you get out of the way, I will defend it myself. My position and opportunity will be missed.
Yes, Thomas Jr.'s ball passed directly through George's defense, because George did not stand completely and was caught in the space by the former, and then directly hit the layup. Want to succeed? No, this ball was shot by a certain No. 0 from the Thunder team rushing to the wing.
It flew out and directly gave Thomas, who originally thought it was safe, a shot to the sky!!!
After the ball was pressed down by Westbrook, he quickly pushed it and Westbrook blitzed, but the ball did not come up with any new tricks, and he did not pass the ball. Because Westbrook is now on the top!!! Once Westbrook is on the head, then
, you know. Don’t say anything, don’t talk about anything, because talking is in vain, talking is in vain, he is such a vicious person. At this time, he is so vicious that he doesn’t even recognize his teammates.
ah.
There is only one thing to do.
Westbrook's teammate didn't even get in yet, so he pulled it out. But George's eyes were about to pop out when he looked at it. This, no, you also shot this??? Do you think you are Curry?
It’s still Thompson!!! You are not such a strong three-point shooter. Yes, Westbrook’s three-point shooting percentage this season is less than 30%, only 29%. So, there is no need to be afraid at all.
As many as he could get in just now, now he can get as many out as he wants. This is Westbrook.
This is Westbrook’s Mamba Mentality.
Sure enough, Westbrook's continuous ironing performance began, and when he was on top, he couldn't stop, and had to continuously throw it under him. Dangdang, 3 consecutive fine irons, and at the same time there was a wide-open shot, all irons.
. This made the giant Melon, who had finally passed the ball once, look depressed. No, I finally passed the ball once, and it was still such a good opportunity, but you gave me a blacksmith? You didn't even give me an assist?
If I had known earlier, I would have done it myself.
What a fart.
Well, all of a sudden, the Lakers took the opportunity to expand the score. The continuous pursuit of points just now was ruined in one breath. This made the Thunder head coach Billy Donovan have to call a timeout again.
When he came down, Kuzma looked at Tang Qian with admiration and said: Boss Tang, you are so amazing. He really doesn't need us to defend him and he can start working hard by himself. I will definitely follow you in the future. Only in this way can there be a future.
ah.
I'm a newbie, but I'm pretty good at flattering you, but it sounds pretty comfortable.
Tang Qian pretended to be profound and said to Kuzma: Since you said so, I will show you another good thing. If Westbrook scores a 3-pointer later, he will not take the shot. You are specially
Just keep an eye on him and distribute the ball. In this way, you can also earn a few steals. How about it? I treat you well, right?
Huh? No, what is this? A prophecy? Is this still possible???
This, no, no, Boss Tang, what you said is too mysterious. How can you predict Westbrook's next move?
Why don't I believe it?
Seeing that the rookie was still a little suspicious, Tang Qian didn't explain, just patted him on the shoulder, and then went to leisurely drink sports drinks. He said this, hey, he really wasn't kidding him, because it was based on
…
Well, you'll know right away.
