Chapter 995, Battle Thunder (16)
"Don't think about it so much, he just grasped the timing, your choice just now was not wrong, but that guy's reflexes are really a little scary, so we need to be prepared, otherwise it has always been like this, and I don't know when it will be our Thunder's offensive ball."
Durant said something, Westbrook raised his head and looked at him, nodded lightly and said: "I also have this idea, as long as we are ready, that guy's defense will definitely not be so easy, but we need to speed up, to cooperate with their rhythm, otherwise such a game, I don't know how to play."
"You're right, it's true, let's prepare well, try to press the rhythm as fast as possible, it must be faster than them, otherwise, it won't work", Durant also agreed with Westbrook's words, he felt that this is indeed the case, if there is no way to catch up with the rhythm of the Spurs, they slow down obviously give the Spurs, the players a chance to prepare.
After the two of them finished speaking, they sped up their speed and rushed up, Westbrook was running, while giving other teammates a hint, saying how to play in the next game, it is impossible to say one by one, it can only be replaced by some special gestures, as long as it is a familiar player, seeing such an action, you will know how the next game will be played.
Although Lin Yi couldn't understand Westbrook's movements, but when he saw their speed, he knew that they had begun to speed up their speed, such a rhythm was obviously trying to suppress the rhythm of the Spurs, but Lin Yi felt that there was nothing, this was also normal, otherwise how would he defend himself? .
If they play slow, then it gives Spurs a chance to prepare, it is a fool to play slow, unless it is a player who really does not have any speed, otherwise, you really can't play slow, because they play fast and you play slow, the speed on both sides is not the same at all, if they maintain a good shooting rate, then the rest of the time, you can defend perfectly.
Unless their shooting percentage drops, otherwise, there is really no way to defend them easily, and this is why, the Phoenix Suns can be in the league, if they are awesome, it is because they have an inside line, an outside line, and they are all players with super speed, once they are combined, as soon as their shooting percentage comes up, there is no way to defend.
Of course, to be honest, Steve Nash doesn't have any defense, otherwise there would be no Ji Bu Shot, Na Bu Defense, the phrase is about the two of them, at that time it was a very terrible two backcourt players, but one was a little more lucky and could win the championship, and the other was different.
Their results are very good, but because of the relationship between the opponents, they can't reach that height, they can only linger in the playoffs, and like the Houston Rockets, they have a little bit of luck, and there is no problem other than that.
With a little bit of luck, they can reach that height, and it's very easy to win a championship, and if the Phoenix Suns are in the East, maybe Steve Nash will have several championships as well.
The Thunder speed up, there are pros and cons, it depends on how their own players prepare, if they don't prepare well, then it's embarrassing, and then you're just embarrassed.
Westbrook slowly controlled the ball and came to the Spurs' three-point line, Lin Yi had been standing there and waiting for a long time, but once again Westbrook was very vigilant, he did not get too close to Lin Yi, but left a space, when not only could he clearly see Lin Yi's defensive actions, but also gave himself a breakthrough, adding some opportunities, and there was also space to use.
Lin Yi also saw Westbrook's position, and couldn't help but smile, this kind of situation is what Durant told him just now, otherwise, he would not have made such a move.
Lin Yi didn't make any moves, he kept staring at Westbrook there, because Westbrook's move was a big space, not only for offense or for Lin Yi's defensive opinions, but also because he had a lot of passing space, the reason why Lin Yi didn't stick in was because he was afraid that Westbrook would throw the ball before he got close, and it would be very difficult for him to grasp it.
Westbrook slowly controlled the ball, slowly walked forward, it was indeed walking, not running, Westbrook was thinking about something, if Lin got close to him, he would pass, if not, then he would shoot, Durant is not wrong to need the ball, but he also needs the ball, as long as there is a good opportunity, he can only come by himself, it is impossible to pass the ball.
Just when Westbrook was approaching, Lin Yi was just symbolic, going to defend for a while, and did not get close to Westbrook at all, and got Lin Yi's reaction, Westbrook jumped up without saying a word, aimed and threw the ball.
Westbrook threw the ball out, Lin Yi sped up his speed and rushed in the direction of the Thunder, so he didn't pay attention to whether Westbrook's ball went in or not, he just wanted to seize this opportunity and run to the Thunder's half when the Thunder players didn't return to defense.
At that time, if Westbrook's ball is thrown, the Spurs players will drive directly to Lin Yi's hands when they kick off, no one will come back to defend, and it will be easy to score, if it doesn't score, then the Spurs players will definitely grab the rebound, and pass it to themselves.
Why Lin Yi will be so sure that his teammates will grab the rebound, just look at the Spurs' lineup, when Westbrook throws the ball, all the players are gathered here and pressed on the inside, four people against two people, the chance is much greater, and in terms of height, the Spurs' players still have an advantage, although Ibaka's height is the standard height of a big forward, but it is only a standard, and it is not a real standard.
In fact, the height of the big forward is 208 to 210 height, that is the real standard, what is the height of 203, that is the height of the small forward, but because of the different skills learned, so they play different positions.
Some people don't use their height to their advantage, but they use their bounce power, so when they come back, the players on the inside are short, but they can play the perfect match because they all have terrifying bounce power.
And although some people's height is not high, but his arm span is more terrifying than many people, such players are basically, are good players on the inside, so when playing the inside line, what you need to pay attention to is the perverted bouncing force, and those players with strong arm span, for some other slow big men inside, there is really no threat, because of the speed, they have no advantage except height, as long as they can lead them in speed, with smooth movements, then you win.
