Chapter 34, Bombardment and Defense
"Russell, if they still defend like this later, you cut inside like this, and their defensive attention is now here with me and KD."
Westbrook and Li Forest came over to celebrate, and Li Forest said to Wei Shao casually!
"yes, I see."
Westbrook also knows the opponent's tactics, and he is a little unhappy with the Magic's choice to let him go, why should he sandwich Li Forest and Durant and not him? Hum.
Stan Van Gundy relied on Howard to play a pillar on the inside, and set up an outside double package against the arrows Durant and Lee Forest.
Westbrook also saw the Magic's defensive specificity just now, and this kind of defense can be seen in one round.
The Magic's bag is too decisive, this time it's just that Li Linlin is too fast, and they haven't come up yet, and they can't go up or down halfway to give Li Forest a chance to pass the ball.
This kind of tactical package will test the Thunder's ability to move the ball, if the Thunder's ball moves quickly, the Magic will suffer a heavy blow, and the tactical cost of the two outside packs will be great.
Because the bag means that you will empty 1 or 2 role players, this is the NBA, even if you are an average player, if you completely empty him, as long as he plays normally, it can deal a fatal blow to your defense.
This kind of bag is not commonly used in the regular season, and the Thunder rarely encounter such a bold defensive tactic, which is also beyond Brooks's pre-game expectations.
The Thunder's players must quickly adjust their attacks on the court.
...............
White Chocolate advances to the front court with the ball.
Ryan Anderson pulled out of the three-point line, received a pass from White Chocolate, turned to the rim and waited for his teammates to run, and Howard gave Carter off-ball cover on the left side, who ran 30 degrees.
The Magic's tactics are already very proficient, and they just used a similar tactic to make the first offense.
Ryan Anderson is a power forward selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 21st pick in the first round, and is well-known to Chinese fans because of his competition with the United Arab Emirates.
Ibaka hurried up to follow, Anderson was not in a hurry, took a step to the middle with the ball, and handed it back to the white chocolate from close range.
The inside pass near the free throw line of white chocolate was given to Carter, who was in the air cutting position, and it was a small area pass to cooperate.
The Magic's offensive coordination is much smoother than the Thunder's.
Carter directly gave Howard to the low position to get to the position, Howard took the ball with his back, dribbled, turned around and entered the penalty area, and pressed Collison in the middle of the three-second zone to get up and score the ball with one hand.
2 to 4
Collison didn't lose his position, but there was a gap between his bounce and strength and Howard's, and he couldn't block Howard's strong food at all.
Thunder offense.
Westbrook took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Durant.
Brooks' offensive idea is to create a Thunder three-star, three-person main attack, as long as you make sure that the ball is finished by three stars as much as possible, in anyone's hands.
The Thunder's players are pulling away.
Durant is on the right side of the frame, his right foot is probed, the bag is coming soon, and Durant steps with his left foot to break through to the baseline. Durant jumped hard in front of Anderson's bag, leaned back to eat Petrus in front of him, and relied on his height to spread the wall and score the hollow ball.
4 to 4
Petrus struggled to jump and couldn't cover it.
Durant has shown a supergiant style since the start of the season, has the ball, can shoot, learns to use the advantage of physical reach, and plays anyone who is out of position.
The reason why Van Gundy didn't arrange one defense and one Durant is that he knows that one-on-one heads-up, no one can prevent Durant, but the bag clamp is not necessarily able to prevent it.
The first two Thunder offenses are examples of this, with the Magic's rotation already fast, but Durant's ability to take his chances was quicker.
After the opening, Li Forest did not rush to attack, but kept reading the defense.
Today Brooks moved Lee Forest to the starting line-up.
With Durant and Westbrook in the starters, Lee Forest doesn't need to go to the opening court to attack, and Brooks has a very clear intention of putting him up, containing the Magic defense and making it easier for the double to play.
Lee Forest played time in the second lineup.
Magic offense, White Chocolate and Howard in the middle blocked and dismantled to the left side, attracting Lee Forest to switch defenses with Westbrook, and a reverse pass to Carter outside the three-point line.
Carter took the ball and took aim, ignored Westbrook's sticky interference, and hit a high-profile three-point shot.
4 to 7
Carter thumped his chest after scoring and roared into the air.
This very simple fit proves that Carter feels good today.
Director Zhang looked at the camera and said: "Carter's three-point shot is very high among the swing guards, and his domineering dunk is easy to make people think that he is just a dunk, if you really think that he can only dunk, then you are fooled." ”
…………
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook advanced through the half, gave the ball to Durant, and it was still Durant who went heads-up.
However, this time Petrus and Anderson went up in time to form a bag in the low post.
Durant quickly split the ball to the high post and gave it around Collison.
Collison's scoring mainly relied on the basket and the second attack, the range was too short, and he didn't dare to shoot in the open space, and passed to Li Forest, who came out of the top of the arc to respond.
It was Carter who was keeping an eye on Lee Forest.
Li Forest was a simple disguise in front of his body, fused with Owen's extraordinary movements, and shook off Carter in one step.
Lee passed Carter so fast that Howard was still guarding the basket and didn't make up for it. Come out.
Lee Forest makes a quick stop from the free throw line and hits from mid-range.
6 to 7.
The defensive intensity of both sides was very high, but the feel was very good, which led to the first few attacks.
Although the Thunder are back-to-back, because the game has just begun, the physical fitness is okay, and the impact is not great.
Carter was passed by Li Linlin, and he lost face a little.
came over and received a pass from White Chocolate and immediately made a domineering three-pointer, this time against Li Forest's defense.
The arc is very high.
"Huh"
6 to 10.
It's that unreasonable.
"Chinese boy, I'm going to blow you up completely tonight."
Carter roared at Li Linlin.
Li Forest looked at Carter and didn't respond, just gave the ball back to Collison, who was on the bottom line, and asked him to serve quickly and respond with performance.
Westbrook dribbles forward.
This time he didn't give Durant, but played his own pretended tactics, and when Ibaka came up to cover, he went to the free throw line after passing the white chocolate, and threw a hip and torso forward in the face of Howard's interference.
"Box."
The Thunder missed the first shot of the game.
Anderson easily grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed to Carter, who was not in a hurry to play fast break and stabilize the rhythm to play the position.
Carter's ball quotient is very high, and his defense is getting better and better as he gets older, and he knows very clearly that he can't play fast with the Thunder, and if he plays fast, Howard's power can't be used.
Carter and Howard blocked from beyond the three-point line and took two steps to the right to draw the defense back to Anderson.
Anderson received the ball in the middle, showed great calmness in the face of Ibaka, held the ball above his head to observe the run, and gave back white chocolate on the left side.
Howard pushed Collison hard under the basket.
White chocolate doesn't look at people passing.
Howard catches the ball and dunks under the basket again.
6 to 12.
Coach Brooks frowned off the court, thinking about an offensive plan to crack the Magic.
The Thunder attacked again.
Durantra went to the top of the arc and received a pass from Westbrook, and Petrus's defense was very tight and did not give Durant a chance to dribble.
But Durant made a light turn and passed Petrus.
Anderson's defense is already in place.
Durant didn't share the ball again, leaned directly on Anderson, and turned around for a jumper.
This shot was interfered with by Anderson, and the rebound was firmly controlled by Howard.
Westbrook didn't grab the offensive rebound and shook his fist in frustration.
Magic Positional Battles.
Carter attacks with the ball.
Anderson took a step outside the three-point line to help Carter cover to get rid of Lee Forest, this time Ibaka switched defenses, did not give Carter a chance to shoot, Carter took a step to the right, a back pass to White Chocolate.
White Chocolate had another flash of inspiration, with a large non-stop long pass to Anderson from beyond the three-point line.
Anderson vacated the three-point line, and a feint tricked Ibaka's chase block.
Sudden cold arrows.
The ball hollows into the net.
6 to 13.
"The Magic are stronger than last season, almost unstoppable on the offensive end, everyone but Howard is good at shooting, and the Thunder are hard to play," Smith said. ”
This three-point score, Brooks hesitated, but still didn't call a stop.
He believes in Sanshao's ability to adjust, the Magic's offensive touch is too good, and the Thunder's defense does not have too many mistakes.
Ibaka's pick-and-roll to Westbrook was mediocre, and Westbrook didn't shake off the white chocolate, and the opportunity was not good, so he split the ball.
Durant relied on his personal ability to break through again, passed Petrus, and was once again caught near the restricted area, and was distributed to Li Forest outside the three-point line of the baseline, and Li Forest was empty this time.
Stand and jump.
Horizontal knife immediately.
Step-back three-point shot.
"Huh."
9 to 13.
Brooks was relieved to see Lee Forest soar into this crucial three-pointer.
After Li Forest scored the goal, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and hurriedly went up to force the white chocolate, Westbrook stared at Carter, and the two changed guards.
White Chocolate organized in the middle and gave the ball to Howard from close range near the free throw line.
Howard handed it to Carter.
After Howard made another fake off-ball screen, he suddenly cut into the air, and Carter threw the ball directly into the air, but it was a bit big, and he wanted to give Howard an air relay.
"Box."
Howard showed off his extreme bounce and looked at the ball that was about to miss, but he hit it at the top point and dunked straight away.
9 to 15.
"Dwight, nice job, kick their ass."
A middle-aged uncle in the front row jumped up.
The scene was thunderous with applause again, cheers all rose, and this dunk directly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
"Oh oh oh, it's worthy of a man who traded for LeBron, this physical fitness is really good, Dwight Superman."
Charles Barkley also praised the dunk.
"Posture cat."
Brooks couldn't help it, and went directly to the technical desk to ask for a timeout.
The Thunder's offense is fine, it is at a normal level, but the defense is really unbearable, without Chandler, Collison is soft today, and the Thunder didn't even defend against a Magic attack after the opening.
Li Forest looked at Howard, who was celebrating, touched the sweat on his forehead, and his face was very solemn.
Durant also had a bad face, and glanced back at Li Linlin.
Both knew that this game was not going to be a good fight.
It's going to be tougher than the Lakers vs. Celtics.
