Chapter 1753 The thunder of attacking constipation is here~~Oh~~~
Carmelo Anthony was actually replaced like this. Yes, if he was allowed to play like this, the Thunder basically knelt down, and the start they finally made was in vain. Do you think Billy Donovan will survive?
Angry? So this time he had nothing to say and broke up with Anthony directly, telling him to either sit on the bench or go back to the locker room and never come back. This was the first time in a long time that Billy Donovan
A complete rage against Anthony, and such a loud voice is basically a showdown with the main star. If he makes up for the disadvantage afterwards, it will cause the general to be alienated. Anthony's plan is to deal with this guy again when the time comes, but now
Billy Donovan's idea is... to let him get out completely after the series is over!
Originally, the Thunder took a gamble this season. If they want to keep this combination next season, they will have to pay the super luxury tax. Because they will definitely renew Paul George's maximum salary, the salary cap will exceed 150 million U.S. dollars. This means
The luxury tax will reach the level of super luxury tax, and a total of 300 million US dollars will be required to retain people. If you can win the championship, then forget it, it’s not that you can’t give it a try. But... if you are a first-round traveler, you fool
Only then would he spend 300 million US dollars to retain someone. Among the three giants, one must leave. Westbrook is the eldest, it is impossible. George is both offensive and defensive and younger, so he must be the priority. The answer is already very clear, it is Carmelo.
.Anthony. To be honest, Anthony's salary this season is more than 26 million US dollars, second only to Westbrook's 28 million+ US dollars. Such a high salary, with a regular season 16+ data, the playoffs
Now it is definitely impossible to maintain 16+ points. What is the use of him? Now Anthony is simply a typical representative of high salary and low ability.
He is a bit like Kobe Bryant at the beginning of the 2013-14 season, already overpaid and incompetent.
At least the ability does not match this salary.
But, Kobe broke his leg for the team, and his condition was greatly reduced. If there was no such problem, he would still be able to score 25+ points next season. Even after playing until he retires, he will still be able to maintain a score of 20++.
As for Anthony, that's not the case at all. The key is that his defensive attitude is gone, and he will still have a super high salary of about 26 million next season. If this happens next, how will we strengthen it? Don't forget, this team
What kind of team is this? This is a team and management that are not willing to pay more for Harden's 5 million. You still want them to pay a super luxury tax of more than 150 million, what are you thinking?
Based on this, Billy Donovan is sure that Carmelo Anthony, who is in such a poor state in the playoffs, is determined to leave, so he is no longer afraid of a complete break with him. Anyway, I want to get out, and I still treat you
Why are you so polite? I originally had some expectations for you in the playoffs, but now? Very good, the playoffs are also such a mess, and keeping you will be a disaster.
You still don't want to be a substitute...you'd better find another job.
See where there is still a need for players like you who are the essence of human pull-up jumpers, go there.
After Anthony went to the Rockets and was completely laid off in the original time and space, he said these words on the show. He has lowered his status and is willing to serve as a substitute for you Houstonians. You are still not satisfied? You still want me to pack my bags.
Get out??? There's something wrong with you, right? Then you know what he did after this happened. He didn't reflect on himself first, but instead, he picked up the phone and directly called one of the core members of Team Rocket, the light bulb combination.
He asked, "If you had known about this before, then I would have broken off our relationship with you!!!... Just look at it, it was just such a move. Of course, his original words were, let me
It’s already hard for me to play as a substitute. Haha, it’s already hard for you to play as a substitute, so what? Sorry, the fact is that with your style of play and presence now, even the bench can’t accommodate you. In fact, the entire NBA
Thirty teams, no head coach would tell the team management, go ahead and sign Carmelo, even if he only has a basic salary and no one wants him. Is it pitiful? Why? Have you ever thought about it? He
No. Later on the show, Billups said to him that he used to be too obsessed with scoring data, and then Anthony directly said, is it a bit too much for you to say this at this time? Ha? Are you adding insult to injury???
You see, these are all real things that happened. No one wanted Anthony at all in the NBA, and it’s not without reason.
Even most of them are due to his own fault.
His own NCAA mentor once said a famous saying to sum up Anthony. It is difficult for Carmelo to win the Larry O'Brien Cup because he is too self-centered and has difficulty fully integrating into the team.
, and he is not always thinking about making the entire team better. Look, look for yourself, this is his NCAA mentor, Anthony also led Syracuse University to win the NCAA championship, that's it,
People say this about him, which shows... Anthony has always been a person who bases his own honor and disgrace on the honor and disgrace of the team.
This can be seen from the fact that he stayed in New York for money instead of looking for another way, because at first James was planning to form a team with him and Wade. But in the end, he refused to cut his salary for the sake of money.
He also refused to come. In fact, although he got a good and big contract, he lost countless opportunities to increase his commercial value.
But it doesn't matter. From the moment Billy Donovan broke up with him and tried to force him to the bench, Anthony had already lost the last chance to prove himself with the Thunder. But now, he still has
I am immersed in my own fantasy of "a cigarette from Gua Ge, half of the sky in New York".
The current league really doesn't need him anymore, and he has completely dimmed from the moment he was pressed down by Billy Donovan. The halo of the star for so many years has finally disappeared.
But this is all for Anthony personally, and for the Thunder as a team, as soon as Anthony goes, oh, don’t tell me, the offensive feeling suddenly improves. At least the ball stops are greatly reduced.
The ball is moving more and more smoothly. When Anthony was there, the most common thing that happened to the Thunder was...stopping the ball, playing in isolation, and then the four of them watching the show.
The Thunder's offensive capabilities are too fragmented this season. This is especially obvious in the playoffs. The Big Three play alone and then simply cooperate. If not, Westbrook decides whether to throw or pass. This routine is used in the upgrade of confrontation.
The playoffs are too barren. Westbrook and the Lakers are now taking turns to take care of him. Rondo and Beverley take turns to consume him, making him uncomfortable. And the biggest problem with such a large package is...for physical exertion.
,great.
Even LeBron James, who is as strong as the Cavaliers No. 23, has not been able to solve this problem. James himself has shouted tired many times. Let alone the others. His physical fitness is not as good as that of James. Don't look at it.
Westbrook plays extremely fiercely, and his physical fitness is at the superhuman level for the No. 1 position. However, his physical fitness is not as good as you think. He only averaged about 34 minutes per game in the regular season, and he has not exceeded it in any season in the playoffs.
40 minutes. Therefore, Westbrook’s explosive power is strong, but his physical fitness is not exaggerated. During the period when he was gone, the Thunder team was supported by George, and the Lakers were also very decisive and directly chose to double-team George during this period. Because
You see, except for him, the rest of the Thunder team's independent offensive ability is not very good. After double-teaming, they just need to rotate or assist in defense and don't let them go.
But at this time, Jerami Grant of the Thunder is very confident. During this continuous shooting, it is not obvious that he is a person who only averaged 8 points per game in the regular season. But no one knows where he will be on the court next season.
The average score will soar to 13+. And the efficiency is quite good. Seeing this, the Lakers were a little surprised. They originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to open up the score here, but they still bit it. Sure enough, it was a basketball game.
, it’s not up to you to plan whatever you want.
Anyone can be a variable. Big or small.
When Westbrook came back, the score difference was still tight. George turned around and hit a jumper. Kuzma had already tried his best, but he was still hit directly by the opponent under defense. Westbrook returned to take charge of the ball again.
He made a beautiful dribble, and the ball actually went directly backwards with a small change. His speed surpassed the defender Beverley, and then Thunder No. 0 came in and hit a flying slam dunk.
At this time, Tang Qian went to guard George. He didn't expect Westbrook to eat Beverley alive so easily and dunk it so easily.
Boom~~~~
The Oklahoma City crowd was in a frenzy, cheering for Russell Westbrook's dunk.
Not long after, Westbrook made a direct impact after a pick-and-roll. The ball was another magic ball. After being violated, his body was completely twisted, but he still threw it blindly, and the basketball fell directly into the Lakers' basket. This Tang
People are a bit dumbfounded. They all say that when Westbrook's touch comes, he is Megatron, and he is the *** in the triple-double category. Looking at it today, it is really like this, it is really amazing. If he can keep this state all the time
, then it is really a huge threat. But Tang Qian clearly understands that this is impossible.
So he was not anxious at all. No matter how passionate or provocative Westbrook played, it did not mess up his mentality.
He just leads the team to play normally, because he knows that the opponent can only play like this with the Lakers by bursting with power. Then when the Thunder No. 0 returns to normal, he will soon change from Megatron to Megatron again. In one word.
It's bad, but one day at a time, it's a thousand miles wrong.
The Thunder's offense has slowly begun to focus, and it is easy to judge. They have too few passes, just singles, singles, singles, a lot of singles. There is a data that is irrefutable. The Thunder's first two games
The average number of passes per game is nearly 100 times less than the average of the Los Angeles Lakers!!! The Lakers average 310 passes per game, while the Thunder only have 210 times. Such a big gap basically proves a lot of things.
.The Thunder's offensive passing is basically at the level of playoff constipation.
Do you think this is bragging and deliberately being mean? NO~ The original time and space Thunder team averaged 210+ passes per game in this year's playoffs, while the opposite team, the Utah Jazz, averaged 290+ passes per game. Take a look.
, there is such a big gap.
I didn't mean to be shady at all.
This team is really a naked singles team.
Among all the teams in the playoffs, they are the last team in passing the ball per game. No one else.
Therefore, Westbrook's excessive holding of the ball has actually seriously affected the Thunder's overall conduct. Their offensive routine is too simple and ordinary, which makes them passive once their stars cannot play. And the most important thing is that they
None of the stars are particularly efficient. This is true whether it's Westbrook, Anthony or even George.
Moreover, Westbrook also needs to collect rebound data, which makes their offense's line very easy to see through.
When Tang Qian saw that the best forward in the league, Sea King Adams, helped Megatron get a backcourt rebound, Tang Qian wanted to laugh a little and said: No, you are a big man and you are so willing to let the smaller man on the team take it.
Your rebound? But this trash talk didn't work, because Adams's answer was, yes, I do. You said...how do you deal with this?
You can clearly see it in Adams's eyes, he shows his true feelings and answers sincerely.
Let me go...there really is a man as good as Adams in this world.
Westbrook's triple-double king's medals are half as many as yours.
Tang Qian suddenly had an idea. He whispered a few words to Pau Gasol, who had replaced him. The latter was slightly startled, but nodded quickly. Tang Qian was going to...
This is a trick for Mighty Sky. Don't you like to grab rebounds? Well, let's see how many you can get.
This bad habit of yours needs to be punished when the time comes. Otherwise, do you really think you are invincible in rebounding?
Tang Qian made a tactical gesture here, Gasol immediately followed it, and then a strange scene happened...
Westbrook's triple-double dream is probably going to come to naught again tonight.
