In the pre-game arrangement, Scott, who suffered too much from the Timberwolves on the outside in this series, repeatedly emphasized the outside defense against the Timberwolves with his players before the game. It can be said that in this game, Scott's outside defense was very important.

Kurt was fully prepared.

Many outsiders who are paying attention to this game believe that the Timberwolves will definitely make a fuss about what they are good at. After all, the Timberwolves have used countless games this season to prove their strength on the outside.

But after the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The Timberwolves' offense surprised many people, and they had no idea what the Timberwolves were doing.

The Timberwolves still won the first attack of the opening game, and after Rubio brought the ball to the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian no longer raised the high post for a pick-and-roll, but brought Jones to the weak side, and others also stretched the space.

Then Rubio lobbed the ball to Oden, who was already in position.

Oden held the ball and hit Perkins with his back. With only a tentative push, Oden knew the opponent's strength and a sneer appeared on his lips.

Bang! The second blow was a little more forceful, and Perkins began to stagger.

Next time, after feeling the change under the opponent's feet, Oden collected the ball and turned around quickly. At this time, Perkins felt a huge force coming as soon as he stood firm, and was immediately brought down by this force.

on the floor.

At this time, Oden had already hit the ball into the basket with a double play.

A collision of pure power, a violent aesthetic that is powerful enough.

"Greg! Greg! Greg!..." The Timberwolves fans in the stands stood up and cheered for Oden's dunk.

After landing, Oden also roared excitedly.

The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak in an instant.

Chen Dazhuang also stood up and applauded on the court to show that the goal was indeed very beautiful. Although it was only two points, it greatly boosted the team's morale.

Scott on the other side frowned a little. He didn't know whether this was just a design after the opening or the Timberwolves' completely changed offensive tactics. If it was just a design after the opening, it would not be enough for the Thunder's defensive tactics.

What impact will it have, but if the offensive tactics are changed, it will be equivalent to making all the arrangements before the game come to nothing.

Frowning, Scott walked back and forth. After thinking for a while, Scott still insisted on his judgment. The reason was also very simple. It was such an important game that no one could risk changing.

What I was good at before, even the offensive tactics with the center as the core, the Timberwolves have used before, but after all, the perimeter is what the opponents have used the most this season.

Then the situation on the field soon forced Scott to change his mind.

In the Thunder's offense, Durant also used Jones's screen when facing Bennett's defense, and then made a strong mid-range shot.

Then it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack.

It's still Oden. Just like a replica of the previous ball, the rest of the Timberwolves opened up space for Oden, and then Oden singled out Perkins, but Perkins had no power to fight back. It can be said that Oden was beaten.

Deng was a blast in every aspect.

This is true both in terms of strength and movement underfoot.

And this time not only did he score the ball, Perkins also fouled Oden to make it a two-plus-one.

Seeing Oden standing on the free throw line, Dazhuang who was standing on the court also returned to his seat and sat down. In his opinion, there was no suspense in the rest of the game. It was just whether the final score could be achieved.

Activate the hidden properties of this golden buff.

When the Timberwolves next attacked for the third time, Oden still formed a singles situation in the paint, which further convinced Scott that the opponent had made a tactical change.

Then when Oden hit the ball into the basket again, the Thunder called a timeout.

"Everyone, what do you think about today's game? Why did the Timberwolves not attack from the outside as usual after the game started? Instead, all members opened up space for Oden."

"Actually, this tactic currently used by the Timberwolves has been used before. I believe that the Timberwolves' outside line will still stand up after Oden attracts the defensive attention. There is no doubt about this. He cannot put himself out.

Put the most powerful weapon aside and not use it." Zhang Lili said.

"Yes, in fact, I think this is the brilliance of Chen Dazhuang. In all previous games with the Thunder, he started attacking from the outside, but in this final tiebreaker, he suddenly changed his tactics, which will cause inconvenience to the Thunder.

Small troubles, like the timeout the Thunder called just now, are obviously because of this."

"Dayao, you are also a center. From your perspective, how is Oden's performance? What measures will the Thunder take to target Oden next?"

"Actually, Oden is very strong, otherwise he wouldn't be the No. 1 pick. This is for sure. It's just because of the impact of his health. In fact, I think it would be better if the Thunder didn't target Oden. It would be better if they target Oden.

If it is logged in, it will be very troublesome. There will definitely be a lot of opportunities on the outside. If this is opened up by the Timberwolves' outside, the Thunder will be in big trouble."

Things are exactly as Yao Ming said, after the three-game rotation, Oden's role in the next game is to attract firepower on the inside, while Middleton and Bennett on the outside take turns to show off their power.

As a result, there are many loopholes in the Thunder's defense. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as caring about one thing and neglecting the other. Scott has not given up on double-teaming Oden, but if he does not double-team Oden, Oden will

Perkins began to wreak havoc on the Thunder's inside line. In just over 5 minutes of the first quarter, Perkins already received two fouls. Scott was forced to replace the Thunder's substitute center Adams.

At this time, Adams was not the same Adams who later averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds per game. At this time, Adams was still a first-year rookie, averaging only 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in the Thunder's regular season this season.

Under Oden's rampage, even Perkins was inferior.

The Timberwolves' tactics are very simple and effective. If you don't double-team Oden, I'll beat Oden. But once you double-team Oden, let's not talk about whether you can guard Middle on the outside.

Dun and Bennett began to frequently take advantage of the space created by your double-teaming to shoot three-pointers. Coupled with Yi Jianlian's support on the weak side, the Thunder's entire defensive system was completely torn apart.
