Chapter 281: Attacking Weaknesses (I)
The Thunder are making the playoffs for the first time since they were founded. Follow? Dream?. lā
The five starters who are now playing against the Kings are Westbrook 22, Durant 22, Harden 21, Jeff Green 24, and Kostic 27, with an average age of 232.
Durant was selected as an All-Star, won the scoring title, and in the third year of his career, he faintly stepped into the league's first-class star.
The rating that Wang sees tomorrow is also very clear, Kevin Durant, with a score of 92.
This is almost a supergiant level, and what is lacking is just the fame and status that match it.
The Thunder team visited Sacramento, saying that the old guys were vulnerable, and they were still nervous when they got to the court.
As a result, at the beginning, he was hit by two air relays in a row.
Ron Artest, playing a "Steve Nash" feel, looked at his palms exaggeratedly, and then made a feint pass in celebration.
At the scene, there was thunderous applause.
Offensive and defensive transitions, Westbrook frontcourt organization.
Westbrook faced Kidd's defense, this time, Durant took the initiative to ask for the ball, bypassed, and his thin body was against Artest, his long arms were light, and Artest was obviously out of reach.
said that Durant is like Maddy, both of them like to shoot against others, but today's Durant, the success rate of strong shots seems to be higher than that of Maddy.
Artest also knows this, so he has tried to keep Durant from receiving the ball before, but this time, Durant is very outside, Artest can't reach it, Durant receives the ball and stands outside the three-point line.
He turned around and held the ball high in both hands, Artest pressed tightly, his chest leaning over.
"呲~"
Durant made a mistake and grabbed the basketball with both hands.
The long legs stepped outward, one step tentatively.
Artest didn't pull away, and Durant broke through to the right.
The two inevitably made physical contact, and under the confrontation, Durant's dribbling was a little unstable.
Artest's eyes flashed, and he reached out and patted it, trying to cut Durant's dribble.
But at this moment, Durant suddenly took a big step back, retreated outside the three-point line, took the ball with both hands, and rose to the ground, which was a straight arm jumper that jumped high.
Artest made the first move, and couldn't pounce on the second one.
Throw the ball with both hands raised.
"Bell~"
Artest didn't defend it, but Durant still hit the iron.
It's complicated, but it's actually Durant pretending to try to break through with a step, and then step back to make a three-point jumper.
There was room to shoot, but it didn't go in.
The rebound bounced high, Chris Bosh and Tyson Chandler spread their arms under the basket and stuck their opponents behind the owner's back, and Jason Kidd jumped in and grabbed the basketball lightly.
Then, turn, stride, dribble forward.
The Thunder team didn't shoot a few times, and the young players were not in good shape at the beginning, and the Kings played steadily, Kidd advanced, and when he got to the frontcourt, he saw that the Thunder team was back to defense in time, stopped, and waited for everyone to come.
Half-time, Kidd, hands the ball to Chandler.
Chandler's arc top covers Artest.
This time the Thunder defended very well, and the King's blocking and dismantling did not work, Artest passed back to Kidd, and Kidd made a second pass to the ground, which was stuffed to Chris Bosh who was in a key position under the basket.
Kostic was out of the line at this time because of the anti-blocking pick-and-roll.
Chris Bosh made a basket against Jeff Green, turned around the moment he received the ball, raised his arm high, and hooked with one hand.
Jeff Green was so squeezed that he couldn't jump, and he could only look at the ball and sigh when he watched Bosh's long arm hook.
"Huh!"
Again!
Brooks couldn't stand any longer and got up and came to the sidelines, and the referee had expected to come in front of him and look at him.
"Toot ~"
The whistle blows, and the Thunder asks for a timeout.
At 9:43, the Kings led the Thunder 6-0.
"The Kings' offense is very methodical, and the three offenses are actually attacking the Thunder's interior, and to be honest, if there is anything imperfect about the Thunder, it's that their box defense is a bit poor, Jeff Green and Kostic are not good rim defenders, and their baskets are like being completely exposed to the Kings' sharp fangs."
Anchor Amy Johnson sighed with emotion, and then talked about tactics.
The beautiful anchor said, "Although Coach Wang Mingming is also very young, less than 30 years old, he is really experienced, just looking at the opening of the game with one hand attacking the inside, it is like hitting seven inches, which makes the Thunder team very uncomfortable." ”
Kristen Ledlow admired Wang Tomorrow and said with a smile, "The Thunder chose an outside jumper-based offense in the opening game, and the Kings have a strong ability to defend outside shots, so this opening offensive choice seems to be up for debate." ”
Thunder head coach Brooks obviously understands the problem on the court, now the Thunder players are a little nervous, their movements are relatively stiff, and when they shoot, they are really not very sure, and the Thunder team is not just about projection, but about the impact on the court, so during the timeout, he instructed the players to play more aggressively and kill inward with the ball.
Wang Tomorrow is in the midst of a timeout, continuing to deploy the tactics of focusing on the inside offense and supplemented by the outside offense, and the inside offense, in addition to Chris Bosh, Ron Artest also needs to take on part of the responsibility.
The suspension ends.
Thunder players on the blue side and Kings players on the white side play.
Although the fans of the Kings all wore the classic purple jersey, the Kings chose a light white jersey for today's game.
Westbrook holds the ball and swaps to Jeff Green for the ball.
Jeff Green also has the ability to attack with the ball, and after fake cover with Durant, he turned and went inside.
Chris Bosh confronted him, and the two bumped into each other with a "bang".
Jeff Green strides, throws from outside the box, and the basketball falls into the basket.
"Huh!"
Thunder's first point.
Brooks let out a sigh of relief, and the Thunder finally opened.
It was the first playoff point in the history of the Thunder, which was very memorable, and after the goal, Jeff Green shook his fist and high-fived Durant, Westbrook and others.
At this time, the Kings attacked with great momentum.
Pick-and-roll cover, flank air cut, open up space, Artest paint area on the ball in the position.
To catch the ball is to turn around, push to the basket, and then feign shooting with both hands.
In this position, the threat is too great, and Durant subconsciously flies.
As soon as he jumped up, he found that something was wrong, Ron Artest retracted with the ball, did not shoot at all, and only after he flew into the air did he jump up again, carrying Durant, his right hand under the basket shook slightly, and the basketball smashed into the frame.
The action is not particularly standard, but it is also like a kind of small hook hand, no matter how long Durant's arm is, it is impossible to cap a person through a person's body.
What's more, this person is still Artest, with a horizontal development and outrageous width.
