With a height of 2.11 meters and a weight of 119 kilograms, Turkish center forward Oku is a guy that Chinese fans are all too familiar with. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The matchups between him and Yao Ming in the playoffs have made him very well-known in China.

Previously, Oku was thought to be a typical big shooter with a soft style of play and poor defense. But in the playoffs in previous seasons, Oku played well against Yao Ming and Duncan.

Under his tough defense, Yao Ming was forced to average 4.7 turnovers per game in the series, and a player as calm as Duncan also had seven turnovers in a single game under his defense. It can be said that under the tutelage of Jerry Sloan, Oku's single defense ability has been fully developed.

In this game, Jerry Sloan naturally handed Anjie to Oku. Strangling this Thunder No. 16 will be the key to this game!

After the two sides jumped the ball, the winner was still An Jie, who had the advantage of both bounce and height. Westbrook wanted to launch an attack after winning the ball, but was stopped by the equally strong Deron Williams.

After Westbrook was forced to stop, the Jazz players quickly took up positions, and a very strong defensive system unfolded in front of the Thunder three young people.

Anjie didn't run inside, but blocked Westbrook in the high post.

Westbrook started and Deron Williams quickly rounded the cover and wasn't thrown too far away.

Westbrook broke through with Carlos Boozer in front of him and Deron Williams in front of him. The zero defender's attacking rhythm was completely disrupted, and he quickly took a look at his team-mate's run and prepared to split the ball.

Anjie saw Westbrook break through and immediately followed, but the Turk Memet Oku has always been sticking to each other, not giving Anjie the slightest space to catch the ball.

As a result, Kevin Durant seems to be Westbrook's only option for passing.

And the person who defends Durant is none other than the Jazz's powerful swing guard, Ronny Brewer.

Brewer is often used by Sloan to defend the opposing team's top perimeter players, and his experience, strong body, quick footwork and hands make him a good perimeter defensive gate.

Seeing that Westbrook was about to collide with Boozer, Durant hurried to get rid of it, for fear that the pass would be cut off by Ronnie Brewer.

When Boozer fully shrank to the basket, a man who had been underestimated on the offensive end got his chance.

Westbrook hit the ground and passed, Durant quickly changed his center of gravity to receive the ball, where is there such a pass in this position!?

However, when Durant bent over, he found that the basketball was not flying towards him, but by the team's power forward Nenad Kostic.

Kostic was at the zero angle at this point and was completely let go thanks to Boozer's help to the basket. The reason why Kostic can play is that his excellent mid-range shot is what Van Gundy likes the most.

"The first offense of the Thunder, the ball actually came to Kostic. The Jazz team has limited the Thunder three less to death, but now the Thunder team with a stable lineup has a lot of people who can score!" After more than half a season of non-stop attempts, Van Gundy finally took the three young as the core and discharged a starting lineup with a relatively balanced offense and defense.

The projection ability of Kostic and Seforrosa will help the three young men to pull up more space. That's something that Wilkins and Joe Smith, who have played as starters before, can't do.

"It's okay! we're going to keep defending like this!" Although the Thunder scored, Jerry Sloan was unimpressed. He would rather let the Serbian big man let go of the shot than give the Thunder three a little less space.

When the Jazz are defending, the person who is opposite Anjie is Oku. But when the Jazz attacked, Anjie's opponent became Carlos Boozer.

Although the height of this dream team member is only 2.06 meters, his weight of 120 kilograms is undoubtedly much stronger than An Jie. As with Yao Ming, Jerry Sloan believes Boozer is at a complete disadvantage against Anjie on the offensive end. And Jeff Van Gundy will not let Anjie run around with the kite-flying Oku, leaving Anjie on the inside, and the Thunder's basket will be safer.

Therefore, this dislocation was naturally formed under the "tacit understanding" of Sloan and Van Gundy.

Boozer first pulled behind the free throw line, and this time Anjie had to follow. It is precisely because the shots of the Jazz's two interior players are full of threats that the Thunder's three-second zone can now be said to be completely empty.

An Jie didn't dare to rush back to make up for the defense, otherwise Boozer would definitely use CIC to educate himself with a good education.

Just like that, looking at the Thunder's empty box, Deron Williams began to change his rhythm!

Shake, accelerate, brake suddenly, change direction, bypass the pick-and-roll, and accelerate with all your might.

After this set of moves, Westbrook was completely thrown away, Deron Williams smashed the Yellow Dragon, Anjie naturally couldn't watch Williams go to the empty basket, he immediately followed the pursuit, Boozer?

Deron Williams jumped with the ball in both hands, and Anjie quickly jumped up, stretching out his long arms to block as best he could. However, when Angel jumped, Williams fell to the ground again.

"Jump! Deron Williams' beautiful jump disrupts Ann's defense!"

Seeing that An Jie was still in the air, Delong immediately jumped up again and easily deceived An Jie for a layup.

Simply by taking advantage of the varied tempo, Deron Williams broke through the defenses of Westbrook and Anjie in succession. In front of the two immature rookies, his rhythm is simply something they can't figure out.

After one round, the Thunder and Jazz were evenly matched. Maybe anxiety will be the main tone of this whole game.

In the second round of defense, the Jazz team still strictly followed the old Sloan's arrangement and stuck the Thunder three young people to death. This time, Westbrook's pass found An Jie, An Jie held the ball in the low post, and Oku immediately tensed the muscles of his whole body, he knew that this seemingly thin guy had infinite strength!

An Jie leaned on twice in a virtual and real way, and at the moment when Oku's footsteps were chaotic, An Jie suddenly turned around and prepared to break through with the ball.

However, Anjie had barely turned around against Oku when he almost collided with Carlos Boozer. Sloan didn't hesitate to use the bag on Anjie, and Boozer executed the tactics well.

Westbrook and Durant are both looking for opportunities under the desperate entanglement of their respective positions, and Sloan is not afraid of Anjie's pass at all, because he has already contained Westbrook and Durant, who can score after receiving the ball.

Boozer didn't think about it, he quickly made a move, ready to cut the ball away. Durant and Westbrook really didn't have a chance, and Seferrosa was too far away from Anjie, and it was not safe to pass the ball at this distance. An Jie looks like she has been cornered, but since there is a bag, there must be an empty seat.

One of Kostic's main tactical roles is that when Anjie is caught in the bag, he can shoot and score in the open position. Jerry Sloan didn't take Kostic seriously, and that's the price he paid.

Anjie passed the ball out of the overcrowded three-second zone before Oku and Boozer could close the ball. C.J. Myers tried his best to jump and interfere, but it didn't work for Kostic at 2.13m.

"Kostic scored four straight points! The Jazz's defensive strategy was cracked at the beginning! Coach Van Gundy's two-center lineup worked. In front of Kostic, who is feeling hot, there must be someone who can stop him!"

Seeing this, Jerry Sloan touched his chin.

"Look again. He said to himself in his heart, still unwilling to let the Thunder three young people get rid of the pressure because of a Kostic.

Boozer found that this guy, who was also of the yellow race and outstanding height, was very different from Yao Ming. In the previous encounters, he was absent due to injury, so he failed to play against An Jie. Today, when he was about to use the same trick against Yao Ming to deal with An Jie, he found that it didn't work at all!

Yao Ming's defensive range is limited to the basket, pulling out and shooting, Yao Ming can't lift up. If Yao Ming is raised, then Boozer can use the speed to break through easily. This is also the reason why Yao Ming will play very hard against Boozer and Oku.

Boozer held the ball in the middle distance, and when he saw Anjie lift it up without hesitation, Boozer immediately started, hoping to slip past the tower.

But unlike Yao Ming, An Jie did not lose his position, he still clung to Boozer, and the strong Boozer also found that this kid's confrontation ability was completely beyond his expectations.

The amount of time spent in the power room has already given An Jie some gains.

There was no way, Boozer forced a layup, but under the interference of Anjie's physical contact, Boozer's ball went directly to a "bridge". To put it bluntly, it is the three non-sticks on the side.

On the offensive end, Oku is always floating on the outside, so even though he is 2.11 meters tall, he rarely grabs offensive rebounds.

Durant protected the rebounds before Oku and Williams, and Boozer's first offense was ruthlessly wiped out by Anjie.

"Damn, do you think everyone is Yao!?they're from the same country, but they're very different!" the angry Jerry Sloan yelled at Boozer on the sidelines. Even Carl Malone is well managed by him, so what's wrong with a mere Boozer?

Durant and Westbrook tried a few shots on the next few offenses, but neither of them had a good shooting percentage when they were very restricted. And An Jie, when he has no chance, he rarely makes a shot, but if he doesn't shoot, it means that he can't score. Looking at this situation, Jeff Van Gundy is not worried, at least that point has not been seen to death until now.

When Kostic broke up the Jazz's defense with a third shot, Jerry Sloan had to call a timeout to change the team's defensive strategy. He didn't want this to be a big fight for Kostic.

"Let's not use a bag on An in the next game, let Memet defend alone, just like we did when we played the Spurs!" In the end, Jerry Sloan also had to compromise, and the curse of "don't use a bag clip on Anjie" seemed to hang over the Jazz team. It can't be helped, Kostic is really hot today.

"Carlos, I want you to block more and play less singles. You've conceded three goals and I don't want you to continue to waste chances on that number 16. Facing Sloane, who looked serious, Boozer, who looked fierce, could only nod obediently.

On the other side, Van Gundy also changed the team's strategy according to the situation on the field.

"Break through more!Ann, you don't go to the low post anymore, Memet's low post defense is different from the past. In addition to Kevin, Russell, and Saab, I want you to also stand in the middle range and increase the number of breakthroughs!"

"Robert, I'm going to get you up later, I want you to stick Carlos Boozer to the ground and give your teammates room to break through. Van Gundy tapped on the tactics board and gave the long-haired white center another chance to play.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm good at this. From the last hope to a blue-collar worker who specializes in dirty work, Swift has no gap in his heart, but he still likes this role very much.

The two resourceful managers discovered their own problems and each other's weaknesses after a tentative opening scene.

Can this adjustment of the two change the direction of the game?

Although it is only a regular season game, it is a game that absolutely does not allow half a wrong step for the Thunder and Jazz!

No, all they care about is victory! )
