But this is just a layout war to make the Thunder mistakenly think that the Lakers' opening attack will focus on Thomas. Basketball is sometimes a psychological war. If you make a wrong judgment, it will bring trouble to your team.

Coming from behind, the Cavaliers were outscored by nearly 20 points in the first game of the first round of this season's playoffs. They were overwhelmed by the opponent's tactics at first, and then were stunned by the waves. Since then, the Lakers have not been able to recover.

Do you want to start with a small start? The opposite coach Billy Donovan is not a vegetarian. He quickly adjusted and retreated quickly after guarding the pick-and-roll. At the same time, the team's No. 4 and No. 1 jointly coordinated.

To defend, position 1 bypasses the screen and follows closely. Position 4 moves from the elbow area to directly block Thomas's breakthrough route, and then waits for an opportunity to block the shot after physical confrontation.

The adjustment is indeed very fast. He is indeed a famous coach in the NCAA, but... the Lakers are not a famous coach.

This ball is a head coach game between Larry Brown, a famous coach who has also coached in the NBA, and Billy Donovan. The playoffs are about adjustments, details, and the ability to respond to crises.

Many people are lacking in this regard, so no matter how good the team's performance is in the regular season, he will be an ordinary coach in the playoffs and cannot lead the team to the finals, let alone the championship.

But facing the opponent's defense, Thomas reacted very steadily to the ball. Because he didn't intend to hit it by himself, he passed by to attract firepower and then passed it to Tang Qian, who was in the high position. Tang Qian took the ball and moved down.

, seize the opportunity to rush in, and it is difficult for you to stop him when he charges up. At this moment, Tang Qian, wow, he went in and dunked with one hand, and the rim was bent by him.

Adams was really conscientious. He didn't move away from the ball, but it was useless no matter how conscientious he was, because Tang Qian's impact was beyond his ability to withstand. For the second ball, the Lakers still followed the same pattern, and Thomas still cut in.

Then, he drove away the defender again, giving No. 29 a chance to hit the basket directly. This time Adams was directly whistled for a foul, and Tang Qian made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. Westbrook scored one from the opposite side, and the Lakers

Not caring, there was another pick-and-roll between Tang Qian and Thomas. Then...it was given to No. 29 to hit the basket again???

This... Donovan really didn't expect Larry Brown, who has always been known to be strict, to play like this continuously. He asked the team to pay more attention to Thomas during this period and not to be distracted by the Lakers' style of play.

.The result was good this time. Tang Qian was caught by Larry Brown and let Tang Qian hit him three times in a row. All three times were considered points, and none of them returned without success.

Donovan quickly adjusted this time. When he asked No. 4 to move, he pretended to defend Thomas, but in fact he was defending No. 29, quickly creating a defensive encirclement and letting No. 29 get into the encirclement. But this ball

Thomas Jr. made the shot himself, but the ball missed. Adams wanted to block the position for Westbrook to get the rebound and then launched Westbrook's blitz push. However, Tang Qian took aim at this opportunity and took the lead in getting the ball.

, directly attacked the basket for a second time and hit the basket.

When the opponent once again relied on star George to hit a slightly faded jumper, the Lakers still... Thomas and Tang Qian set up a high pick-and-roll! This made the Thunder a little angry. No, you are still addicted to this game.

Right? You really thought you were playing with a lower league. Are you kidding us? The Thunder's defense was very focused on this ball. Thomas Jr. really couldn't give Tang Qian the ball. They were still smarter here, no.

Let’s start from Tang Qian’s side and launch attacks from Thomas Jr.’s side.

But... they were too focused on guarding Thomas in the high post for this ball. As a result, Tang Qian made the team play a wing reverse cut, and then sneaked a baseline. At the same time, after seeing Adams being taken out by the wing reverse cut, he turned around and

Accelerating the cut, he reached the basket in a blink of an eye, and then shouted: "Pass~Give it to me~"

Thomas Jr. heard the figure and wanted to pass the ball, but George's strong defense blocked the passing line. He was about to be double-teamed. He could only pass the ball out first, and it returned to Rondo's hands.

Up. Seeing that this wave of Lakers' offense has been wasted, if we delay for a few more seconds, the Lakers' attack time will enter the countdown, and the defensive success rate of this round will be greatly increased.

Seeing that after the Lakers took the ball again, Tang Qian failed to take advantage of the opportunity. Adams immediately ran over and signaled Brewer to go away and do it himself. But he immediately regretted it, because he had just entered and was not there yet.

I stood still and looked at the half-time movement, and I saw the Lakers' No. 29 jumping up. What's going on? What is he jumping now? I...fuck~~~~~~

No, I just came in, I...

Bang~~~~

With an alley-oop and the help of inertia, Tang Qian almost hit Adams of the Thunder and dunked into the basket with both hands.

Fortunately, the body contact was from the side and not too much. Otherwise, he would definitely be detained and rolled over. That would undoubtedly be even more embarrassing.

Rondo is Rondo on this ball. When he sees a chance, he plays the ball quickly. The pass is very beautiful and decisive. He catches all the fleeting opportunities. Naturally, Tang Qian will not miss it. He switches defense in the Thunder team.

In an instant, he stood up from the ground, caught the ball and dunked into the frame.

The Lakers sent the Thunder into a timeout not long after the game started.

In the duel at the beginning of the first quarter, Donovan was completely outsmarted by the experienced Larry Brown, and he was at a disadvantage in the psychological confrontation.

Thomas Jr. is just an offensive layout. In fact, Larry Brown made it very clear in the locker room about the Lakers' starting point of attack. Play inside first, and No. 29 Tang Qian first.

When it comes to psychology, Billy Donovan is still a little inferior to Larry Brown, an old man.
