Chapter nine hundred and thirty-eight [come prepared, hang and beat fiercely]
Coach Brooks understands the character of his disciple Westbrook. He will most likely choose to attack Guo Xu in the next round and want to return one. However, his success rate of singles Guo Xu's breakthrough is very low, and the jump shot is likely to be a blacksmith.
He called this timeout, in addition to emphasizing defense, he also had to emphasize that the point guards tried to pass the ball to Durant and Horford took action.
The two commentators of CCTV5 are also talking about the point guard's matchup, believing that Guo Xu is sure to win Wei Shao.
Yu Jia said: "Guo Xu usually crushes Westbrook. Both of them have a very poor skill and consciousness. Wei Shao can only compare his physical fitness and have a bit of height advantage, but his playing style is too rough."
Zhang Heli said: "Westbrook has no demeanor on the court and has no brains. He is a person who wins and smiles and gets angry when losing. Some people say this is true temperament. I think if he remains unchanged, he will not become a star."
Yu Jia smiled and said, "He is a point guard in name and has the desire to attack as a shooting guard. He has a poor choice of shooting and can piss you to death at critical moments. And he often has a hot brain and doesn't care about anything. Last playoffs we saw a feast of iron in him. This timeout was very timely, so he had to keep it steady."
Zhang Heli nodded: "He is still too young, maybe the football chamber will improve in the future."
However, it won't be. Now is the Wei Shao ball quotient, and his IQ is closer to normal, because the Thunder's boss is Durant. Once Wei Shao becomes the boss, it's over. The coach says everything is cloudy. He just plays randomly and just brushes the data.
After the timeout, the Thunder made a substitution. Chandler appeared to replace Dai Quinn Cook, adding a high center to defend the penalty area. Dai Quinn and Richardson suffered a physical loss, so Durant returned to the familiar small forward position.
Durant plays singles when attacking, and Horford can play singles singles. Chandler goes out to cover Virgo and strives to create a chance to misplace O'Neal.
But the Suns were also substituted. O'Neal came off the court and sent 203cm power forward Haslem. The Suns changed to play small ball tactics, and Ibaka took the lead in the center position.
As soon as Chandler stood up and took off his clothes, the Suns coaching staff saw him on the opposite side. His 216cm goal was too big. Before the game, D'Antoni had figured out a strategy and was ready to make adjustments with the Thunder's substitution.
O'Neal had to wait until his physical strength was replenished before coming back to play for a while. It was very difficult for him to fight the other person alone.
Chandler can reduce his data as soon as he enters the league against O'Neal. Although Chandler is not big, his shoulders are very wide, his lower plate is stable enough, and he is very resistant.
During the Thunder attack, Chandler's tactic of covering Virgo was immediately declared a failure. The Suns had a small ball tactic, and the five people moved very fast.
Ibaka kept his distance so that Wei Shao could not make any breakthrough easily, so he could only stop and jump shot. After Guo Xu was in a hurry to catch up, Wei Shao passed the ball, Ibaka quickly returned to the position and resisted Chandler, making it impossible for him to go deep into the basket to dunk or shoot.
The inside gate that was supposed to belong to Thunder has now become an important weapon to deal with Thunder.
Chandler's offensive hot zone is only at the basket, and he hardly takes action in other positions. This is why his real shooting percentage is often the best in the league. He is usually very fast, and once he holds the ball, he forgets how to run, and sometimes he even forgets to walk.
Chandler protected the ball with his back and passed it to his teammates. Horford got the ball in the middle and had a height advantage against Haslem. He would definitely not be able to break through if he wanted to break through. He was unwilling to force the shot against someone, so he passed it to Durant again.
The Suns let Richardson defend Durant alone. He was half a head shorter, and his strength was stronger than Durant and could resist it. Durant turned and stopped a quick jump shot in the fortune, hitting 14 to 8.
D'Antoni also gave Richardson a few slap in the hands of the coaching staff. It's the arrangement of the coaching staff, just not being passed casually. Richardson and veteran Hill played in a round-robin single defense against Durant, forcing him to enter the three-point line to score two points and strictly prevent others.
The Suns hope that Durant can keep shooting mid-range shots and cut off the connection between him and his teammates. He is not easy to break through, and Ibaka will assist in defense and shorting Chandler when he enters the basket. Roy can also short Seifrosa at the bottom line, allowing two people who are not good at shooting to take action.
The Suns players lost randomly in the first two games. Today, under the leadership of Guo Xu, they were mainly in the Thunder's position, and they completely controlled the rhythm. The offensive success rate was higher than that of the Thunder, leading 31-22 in the first quarter.
Guo Xu made 3 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 of 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 9 points and 4 assists, and the team blossomed from multiple points.
Durant made 5 of 9 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 12 points and 2 rebounds, without assists.
Durant mainly plays singles with the ball. While scoring a lot of points, the team lacks cooperation. The Thunder's lack of tactics is also related to the opponent's deliberate targeting of the opponent's defensive system.
The Thunder rotation lineup in the second quarter is Eric Meno, DeRozan, Dai Quinn, Nick Collison and Horford.
Five players on the Suns: Dragic, Green, Hill, Ibaka, and Gasol Jr.
Ibaka, who had a 5-minute break in the second half of the first quarter, came back to take the substitute, and all players on the Sunfield can shoot in the mid-range shots.
The tactic is that the guard and the center play pick-and-roll, and the other three players are pulled apart. Dragic breaks through with the ball, attracting Chandler to replace the defense and pass the ball to Gasol Jr. Gasol Jr. can cut the empty to attack the basket or shoot the mid-range shot, or organize the offense at a high position.
On the defensive end, the Suns were in the joint defense. Gasol Jr. could not defend near the penalty area, and the players defended their respective areas. After playing for 4 minutes, the Thunder scored no point.
Brooks asked Horford to play and take the bench because there must be someone who can shoot inside, and not all blue-collar workers. Once he is entangled by Ibaka, the Thunder will be difficult to attack. Dai Quinn is a three-pointer on the outside, and if he is staring at them, he must hit the basket.
Collison directly attacked the penalty area and couldn't beat Gasol Jr. DeRozan broke through and avoided the game and was also disturbed by Gasol. Meno is a big guard with no specialties. He passed the ball after halftime and then waited for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, but it was not accurate.
Meno is a 20-place rookie in the first round in 2009. His strength seems to be matched with the second round. The Thunder traded him to lose. He hardly broke through and did not take action. He averaged 15 minutes per game and only scored 4.2 points and 3 assists. This point guard is pure enough.
The Suns' attack firepower was average, and they only scored 8 points in 4 minutes, which widened the score difference to 17 points.
The Thunder replaced the main force in advance. D'Antoni ignored the opponent's pursuit of points and allowed the core to rest for 6 minutes before returning to the court. As soon as Guo Xu and Roy came back, they immediately stabilized the situation.
There is a problem with the Thunder. Sefrosa, who has excellent defense, cannot be present for a long time. He is not allowed to attack when he goes on the field. Roy is still very easy to defend himself and can stand at the bottom line to save his strength.
Sefrosa didn't come on, and DeRozan was struggling to defend Roy.
In 2018, DeRozan also swore an interview and said that he would improve his defensive ability next season. When he first entered the league, this was not his strength. He had excellent health, average consciousness, and was prone to swaying.
At the end of the midfield, the Suns led by 16 points.
O'Neal, who had been resting for half an hour in the second half, returned to the court and scored 4 points in a row as a single in the low post.
Horford couldn't defend O'Neal alone. He felt like his chest muscles were about torn apart when he was hit. He didn't dare to foul again easily. He had already committed three fouls in the first half. If he got out of the game, the Thunder couldn't pull it away.
Dai Quinn helped double-team O'Neal once, and Richardson received a pass and hit a three-pointer.
Only Durant scored two points in a single shot, and the gap widened to more than 20 points.
