Chapter 1751 G3 Westbrook will fire infinitely tonight
On April 21, U.S. time, Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City was filled with the blue of the Thunder. It’s always like this in the playoffs. The neat and uniform home colors can easily make people’s hearts beat.
The Lakers' current series score has reached 2-0, so they came to Oklahoma with the idea of ending the series. After all, fools know that as long as they win three games in the series, then basically
Going up means winning. There is no example of a comeback in the history of the original time and space. In this time and space, the Lakers in the 13-14 season had a successful comeback.
Moreover, it was all accomplished by concentrating on the right time, place, people and people. It would be very difficult to do it again.
Goose City, their Big Three are now waiting to face the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Before tonight, the press conference had made it very clear that the Lakers wanted this game to end the suspense of the series, while the Thunder needed to fight hard to defend their home court. Otherwise, if they lose this game, it would be all over.
When they are 0-3 behind, they don't have any confidence to complete the comeback. In this case, this game is a life and death battle for the Thunder. If they win, they will continue to maintain the suspense of the series. If they lose,
Then you are completely ready to go fishing.
Billy Donovan was really ruthless this time. He directly stated that he might reduce the playing time of the team's giants. As long as he can win, he doesn't mind being the bad guy. It sounded really nice, although he didn't name him by name.
, but everyone understands that this is pointing to the Thunder's Carmelo Anthony. Because Westbrook is still the boss in his prime, it is impossible to reduce the number. George played so well, integrating offense and defense in the first two games.
There is no reason to reduce his playing time, so... there is only one candidate left, and that is Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony was an incredible player in the first two games. In the first game, he contributed 25 shots, which directly caused the Thunder to lose without any resistance. In the second game, it was not much better, with 12 shots.
The shooting rate was 33.3%, the three-point shooting rate was 22.2%, and he contributed 37 irons in two games. This iron production rate is really a bit high.
In addition, the most unbearable thing for Billy Donovan is that Carmelo Anthony has no defense and does not even have a basic defensive attitude. In this way, he will only become a living target for opponents to attack wantonly on the court. The Thunder's
The defensive champion has already been sidelined by injuries for the entire season. He has defensive problems, and then there is a giant melon who doesn't defend. This is really devastating.
When playing against the Lakers, someone made a rough calculation and found that the number of points scored from Carmelo Anthony's defense was the most among the entire Thunder team. Moreover, it was a long way ahead of the second place. It was simply the Thunder team.
The scoring weapon of the Los Angeles Lakers. With Anthony, playing games feels much more comfortable and simpler.
If you could make an advertisement, you would definitely say this.
Because there is no sense of inconsistency.
Anthony can no longer afford the title of giant now. This year's complete degradation has shocked even Billy Donovan! I originally thought it was just a matter of not taking it seriously in the regular season and not focusing on it. Well, the playoffs are here, it's time
You are on the field. As a result, there is a wave of jaw-dropping shooting percentages. How can people watch this???
You can play singles if you like, but you have to be able to play in it.
Who can tolerate your hit rate???
In addition, Carmelo Anthony's "social person" habit is too strong, so Billy Donovan has always been holding back his anger. After all, he is also one of the legendary coaches of the NCAA.
In the past, he was the unequivocal authority in the NCAA. Now in the NBA, he can't accept some grievances in order to win, but the premise is...
You must be able to bring him victory.
For example, if Carmelo Anthony can lead the team to win, defeat opponents in singles, and make the Lakers defense unable to do anything to you, then there will be no problem if you are arrogant. Because winning can indeed cover up all problems.
.Billy Donovan also recognizes this. But if you can't bring victory at all and keep dragging back, he won't be able to bear it anymore.
Tonight, he finally gave the increasingly bloated melon giant a chance, and it couldn't be the whole game, only half the game. If he couldn't grasp it and it was still the same as the previous two games, then I'm sorry, he would have to
They demoted him and forced him to sit on the bench. This is the head coach's power. As long as he really breaks his face, Anthony will have to come down even if he doesn't want to. Because the head coach only has the power to move you up or down.
.
Anthony also seemed to feel that Billy Donovan was looking at him unkindly, but he didn't take it to heart, because he always felt that this guy dared to do anything, what else could he do? He was the "New York Melon Brother"
, a coach who has no honors in the NBA, he doesn't think there is anything awesome about him. He has never been truly convinced.
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers adjusted their lineup tonight and replaced it with the lineup of Rondo + Kuzma + Covington + Yi Jianlian + Tang Qian. What is this? The height has skyrocketed, a change from the previous two games.
The Thunder's coaching staff also felt the boldness of the Lakers' coaching staff. After all, this is the playoffs. If you change your formation so easily, wouldn't it be ruined if you don't get it right?
The responsibility for not changing the formation may lie with the players. If you want to change the formation, then you are the first "culprit" to bear the brunt.
But Larry Brown doesn't care what others think. He is already old. No matter what happens this year, he will try his best to send the Los Angeles Lakers to the NBA Finals. Because for his age, it is really difficult for him to do so.
Yes, this may be his coaching career, no, maybe it is the best and also the last opportunity in his entire life. If he misses it, if he wants to make a comeback, it will most likely be in the next life, eighteen years later.
Another good guy.

"Pang Yi, the Lakers have changed their lineup this time. The changes are not small. What do you think?"
"I think it depends on how the specific situation of this game develops. The two teams have played several games now, and they probably have a general understanding of what their opponents can do this season. So at this time
The Lakers’ lineup changes are most likely their adaptation to the situation. I personally think there are a few points..."
T.N.T live broadcast across the United States.
"Shaq, who do you think will win this game? The Lakers or the Thunder?" Reggie Miller asked.
"I will never say who will definitely win or who will not win. I just want to say that basketball is round and has infinite possibilities. And the Thunder are a team with the Big Three. I really don't think so.
It would be so easy to be eliminated by the Lakers. You have to know that even I would have to put in a lot of effort back then."
"Then what statistics do you think the ball tyrant will produce in this game?"
"I think the basketball court can only be about wins and losses, and it's meaningless to just look at statistics. If you let me let go, I would have scored four or even five doubles back then. But what's the point?
Winning is what professional basketball players should do. I think the current atmosphere is not very good. There is too much emphasis on data. There are cloud fans and EXCEL fans everywhere, which will only make the league's playing atmosphere too impetuous. I still think
Our playing style was the best back then, but today’s generation places too much emphasis on data. Look at my fourth championship that year, it was just for the sake of victory that I sacrificed my own data to lead the team to a comeback.”
Did you sacrifice data for victory in your fourth championship? Are you sure it's not because you just didn't play well? Also, you weren't in the situation where Kobe sprained his foot. You were the main player throughout the whole process, but you still only surrendered
With an average of 13 points per game, without Wade’s super-powerful explosion, and without the referee’s super-hairy whistle, are you sure you can win? Also, are you sure you will lead the team in that year’s finals?
But it's not convenient for Reggie Miller to say these words, because he will have to work with O'Neal in the future, and it is really unnecessary to cause a conflict. Besides, he doesn't have a championship ring. If there is a quarrel,
, this petty fat man will definitely use the ring to attack him like crazy, just like he is attacking Charles Barkley now.
When the game kicked off, Tang Qian came up and got the ball. The team's Kuzma got the ball and immediately gave it to Rondo. Rondo stopped when he went over. Is this... going to play first? So far this season
So far, the Lakers have always started fast and rarely played like this. This kind of defeat happened last season and the season before last. But tonight, Larry Brown will be "surprised" because he knows the Thunder's
His temperament is to play fast. After testing in the first two games, he suddenly adopted a completely opposite style of play. This made the Thunder feel uncomfortable. If you want to play fast, the Lakers will not let you play.
When Tang Qian gets the ball, he makes a beautiful hook directly into the net. This trick has become more and more familiar to the world this year. Everyone thinks that Tang Qian's hook is as stable as a dog. This is Tang Qian, and now he is scoring.
He has a sense of searching for something, and he can easily capture any opening. This is a sign that he has gradually become a master of offense.
Ordinary super scorers can no longer satisfy his pursuit.
The Thunder team is still Westbrook. They came over with a pull-up three-pointer and wow~ it went in. Then Westbrook looked fierce, as fierce and passionate as ever. This is Westbrook's playing style. It has always been like this, and he even fell behind.
He can maintain this feeling and passion even if he scores more than ten points. As an atmosphere creator, Westbrook is definitely suitable. And let’s play tonight. Westbrook said something at the beginning that he will definitely beat the Lakers tonight.
The team’s perimeter defense!!!
Otherwise he wouldn't be called...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Haha~ No kidding, but this scene is very similar to Westbrook's words in the original time and space. It's just that in the original time and space, he said that he wanted to lock someone down, but in this time and space, he said that he wanted to blow up XXX. Each one attacks one.
Defense. This makes journalists in the United States who like to make excuses and add jealousy everywhere, exaggerate it, as if they want to yell in the ears of the Lakers players again. But it can be seen that Westbrook tonight
His desire to attack is indeed very strong. At least compared to the previous two games, he showed aggression from the beginning. He did not play well in the first two games, and he made a "post-match summary" for himself.
It’s just that…it’s still too little to take action on your own.
I didn't take more than 20 shots. This is indeed too few. How can I activate the excellent offensive firepower of my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with such a small number of shots? How can I activate my David Westbrook's terrifying game state? Obviously not! So!
, I must increase the amount, increase it fiercely!!! Until I beat the opponent!!!
Westbrook is really a straight man. He simply feels that he scores too little. Since it is not enough to give the Lakers enough firepower to suppress the outside, then just increase the score. How to improve? Just increase the shot. This is really...
...How should I put it? Master Wei, you are really very ill. When you were not the triple-double king before, you still thought about it. How come you have become the triple-double king now, and you have become like this?
The triple-double king's development path designed by Billy Donovan is really a triple-double king if he succeeds or a triple-double king if he fails.
History is always surprisingly similar. How did the original Time and Space Thunder end up in the end? Master Wei also made crazy moves.
Unfortunately, his burden for the triple-double was too heavy, and his mental baggage was too heavy, which also made it easier for his opponents to see through him in the game.
Westbrook wanted to provoke the Lakers' No. 1 position with a fierce look after his goal, but Rondo is a pure point guard, not a combo guard. So all he has to do is ignore it and continue to operate calmly.
If you don't compete for the ball with Westbrook in a one-on-one battle, besides, it's too easy to take advantage of, and it can actually be easily exploited by smart opponents.
The Lakers were still in a positional battle, and they still gave Tang Qian a chance. This time, the Thunder did not dare to double-team as brainlessly as the last game, because after the last game, Billy Donovan was almost beaten by the outside media and fans.
They sprayed it like dogs. And it is indeed of no use. Facts have proved this. The Thunder lost by a big score, so Billy Donovan's game brought the team back to normal, and double-teaming was still necessary.
He was double-teamed, but he couldn't come here without thinking. Even in this game, Billy Donovan was prepared to lose so many points to Tang Qian. He could only work on other areas. For example, attacking
end.
Otherwise, why would he have been emphasizing firepower before taking the field tonight? That's why.
He will use offense to suppress the Los Angeles Lakers tonight.
Tang Qian faced Adams, looked at the latter's nervous look, and suddenly smiled: "Don't be so nervous, because..."
"Steven's defense was very serious and focused. This goal...oh, there was no way, the tyrant still went in and scored this goal. This goal was a naked personal ability. There is no problem with Steven's defense."
Did you see the words of the Thunder's home commentator? This is indeed a naked singles attack. It doesn't matter whether Adams in front of him is playing serious defense or soy defense. It's the same anyway.
"It's not bad for me." After scoring the goal, Tang Qian also said to the referee: "He missed the ball. Look, my hands are all red. I must remember to give him a hand next time."
My whistle." It seems that now Tang Qian has gradually learned how to put pressure on the referee, otherwise this would really be a mess. Besides, as for the Cavaliers' whistle that started to be manipulated crazily in the first round, Tang Qian
It's really not superfluous to do this. After all, this is the alliance run by the joke "Master Xiao", isn't it?
Westbrook's arrival was a breakthrough. Tonight, he has completely entered his personal offensive mode. He is very fast and is indeed a representative of the league's No. 1 position in physical violence. Rondo is very afraid because his physical fitness is still declining.
It is more obvious, and after recovering from injury, his legs and feet are still not fully recovered. Of course, the most important point is... his current physical fitness is much inferior to the Thunder's No. 0. Therefore, his defensive ability has begun to improve year by year.
After his decline, he became very cautious towards such a super scorer who was still at his peak.
He doesn't want to be able to completely restrict Westbrook at his peak, but if he can create a little more trouble for the latter and reduce his efficiency, then that's fine. Rondo's mind is still very clear. He deserves to be guided by Lang.
Nickname. It’s not easy to get hot-headed.
And if Westbrook keeps playing like this, he has plenty of ways to deal with it.
Westbrook hit the ball directly against Rondo and then made a strong move. This ball was a difficult basketball. Rondo made a foul in defense, so he was awarded a defensive foul. Westbrook went to the free throw line. He made 2 of 2 free throws.
.
After Westbrook scored a goal, he started beating his chest again. It felt like he had scored such a crucial goal. It was really... a feeling of inexhaustible blood.
