Coach Brooks understands the character of his disciple Westbrook, and in the next round, he will choose to force Guo Xu and want to return one. And the success rate of his single Guo Xu's breakthrough is very low, and the jump shot is likely to be iron.

He called this timeout, in addition to emphasizing defense, he also had to emphasize that the point guard tried to pass the ball to Durant and Horford.

CCTV5's two commentators are also talking about the point guard's alignment, believing that Guo Xu will win steadily.

Yu Jia said: "Guo Xu is generally crushed when he beats Westbrook, the two are far from each other in terms of skill and awareness, Wei Shao only has physical fitness that can be compared with him, and he has a bit of a height advantage, but his playing style is too rough." ”

Zhang said: "Westbrook has no grace on the court, no brains, is a person who wins and smiles, and gets angry when he loses, some people say that this is his true temperament, I think he can't become a star if he doesn't change his personality." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "He is nominally a point guard, he has the desire to attack as a scoring guard, he has a very poor shot choice, and he can anger you at critical moments." And he has a lot of brains that he doesn't care about anything, and we saw a feast of iron in him last time in the playoffs. This timeout was called at a good time, and he had to be steady. ”

Zhang Li nodded: "He is still too young, maybe he will improve in the future." ”

However, it will not, now is the period when Wei Shao's ball IQ and IQ are relatively close to normal, because the boss of the Thunder is Durant. Once Wei Shao becomes the boss, it will be over, and everything the coach says is a floating cloud, he just fights randomly, just brushing the data.

After the timeout, the Thunder made a substitution, and Chandler came on to replace Daqueen Cook, adding a high school forward to defend the restricted area. Daqueen and Richardson suffered physically, so Durant returned to the familiar small forward position.

When attacking, Durant is the main single, Horford can also single Ibaka, and Chandler pulls out to cover for Wei Shao, trying to create a misplaced opportunity against O'Neal.

But the Suns also made a substitution, and O'Neal came off the court to rest and sent 203CM power forward Haslem. The Suns switched to small-ball tactics, with Serge Ibaka taking on the center position.

As soon as Chandler stood up and undressed, the Suns coaching staff saw it on the other side, and his 216CM target was too big. Before the game, D'Antoni thought of a strategy and was ready to make adjustments with the Thunder's substitutions.

O'Neill had to wait until his strength was replenished before coming back to fight for a while, staggering Chandler, and it was very difficult for him to single out the opponent.

Chandler was able to lower his stats as soon as he entered the league against O'Neal, although Chandler did not weigh much, but his shoulders were very broad, and he was stable enough to resist.

The Thunder attacked, Chandler's tactic of covering Wei Shao immediately failed, and the Suns played the small-ball tactic, and the five people moved very fast.

Ibaka kept his distance so that Wei Shao could not break through easily, and could only make a quick stop jumper. After Guo Xu chased the defense in place and Wei Shao passed, Ibaka quickly returned to withstand Chandler, making it impossible for him to dunk or shoot deep under the basket.

The inner gate, which was supposed to belong to the thunder, has now become an important weapon against the thunder.

Chandler's offensive hotspots are only under the basket, and he barely takes shots from other positions, which is why he often ranks first in the league in true shooting percentage. He is usually very fast, and once he has the ball, he forgets how to run, and sometimes he even forgets to walk.

Chandler turned his back to protect the ball and found his teammates to pass out of the periphery, Horford took the ball in the middle and faced Haslem with a height advantage, and he definitely couldn't break through.

The Suns let Richardson defend Durant, who was half a head shorter and stronger than Durant to resist closely. Durant dribbled and turned around and hit a pull-up jumper with interference. 14 to 8.

didn't prevent D'Antoni and gave Richardson two applause, this is the arrangement of the coaching staff, just don't be passed casually. Richardson and veteran Hill battled to defend Durant, forcing him to score two points inside the three-point line and guard against others.

The Suns want Durant to stay on the pitch and cut off the connection between him and his teammates. He is not easy to break through, and when he goes to the basket, Ibaka will help defend and let Chandler go. Bottom line, Roy can also properly empty Sephorosa and let two people who are not good at shooting shots.

In the first two games, the Suns players played more casually and lost, but today they were led by Guo Xu and the Thunder to grind the position, completely controlled the rhythm, and the offensive success rate was higher than that of the Thunder, leading 31-22 in the first quarter.

Guo Xu shot 3 of 4, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 9 points and 4 assists, and the whole team blossomed.

Durant shot 5-of-9 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 12 points and two rebounds and no assists.

Durant is mainly single-handed, scoring a lot of points while also making the team lack cooperation, and the Thunder's lack of tactics is also related to the opponent's defensive system.

The Thunder's rotation lineup in the second quarter was Eric Maynor, DeRozan, Daquain, Nick Collisson, and Horford.

The Suns have five players: Dragic, Green, Hill, Ibaka, Gasol Jr.

Serge Ibaka, who had a five-minute break in the second half of the first quarter, returned to bring in a bench where all players on the Suns court were able to shoot.

The tactic was that the defender and the center played the block, and the other three pulled away, and Dragic broke through with the ball, attracting Chandler to switch defenses and distribute the ball to Gasol Jr. Gasol Jr. can hit the basket or shoot from the middle, or he can organize the offense from the high post.

Defensively, the Suns are joint defenses, Gasol Jr. can't defend near the penalty area, and the players defend their respective areas. After playing for 4 minutes, the Thunder didn't score a point.

Brooks brought Horford off the bench because there had to be someone on the interior who could shoot, not all blue-collar players. Once he's tangled up in Ibaka, the Thunder's offense won't be easy, and there's a three-point shooter on the perimeter, and if you target them, you'll have to storm the basket.

Collison can't hit Gasol Jr. directly in the penalty area, DeRozan will be interfered with by Gasol Jr. when he breaks through and dodges, and Meino is a big man with no specialty, passing the ball in the half, and then waiting for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, which is not allowed.

Mayno was a 20-round rookie in 2009 and looked like he was a second-round pick, and the Thunder traded him to a loss. He barely breaks through, doesn't shoot, and only averages 4.2 points and 3 assists in 15 minutes per game, which is pure enough for this point guard.

The Suns' offensive firepower was average, scoring only 8 points in 4 minutes, which widened the gap to 17 points.

The Thunder replaced the main force in advance, and D'Antoni ignored the opponent's chasing points, allowing 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.

The Thunder have a problem, Sephorosa, who has a good defense, can't be on the court for a long time, he is poor on the Thunder offense, and Roy is still very easy to defend and can stand on the baseline to conserve his strength.

Severosa is not up, and Daquien and DeRozan are struggling to defend Roy.

In 2018, DeRozan also vowed in an interview that he would definitely improve his defensive ability next season, which was not his strong point when he first entered the league.

At halftime, the Suns led by 16 points.

O'Neal, who had a half-hour break in the second half, returned to the court and scored four straight points on a low single, Horford.

Horford couldn't defend O'Neal alone, he felt like he was about to tear his chest muscles when he was hit, and he didn't dare to foul again easily, he had already committed three fouls in the first half, and if he got off the court, the Thunder couldn't pull it away.

Daquin helped pack O'Neal once, and Richardson hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

The Thunder only had Durant score two points alone, and the margin widened to more than 20 points.

The sun came prepared, resolutely landed in the position and did not fight chaotically, and struck the thunder fiercely......
