I don't care how many low-end, high-end data you take to defend Wei Shao, I even think that Wei Shao's problem is not to worry about whether he is a ball bully and a brush.

From the beginning to the end, I felt that the problem of Wei Shao was a problem of playing culture.

In fact, after a few games against the Rockets, Wei Shao did a good job of "organizing guards" in regular time.

His team performance was very good, it was true that he didn't collapse after he got off the bench, and then he slashed at the critical moment, and finally lost.

A friend said it was Donovan's pot, and I agreed. At the critical moment, why don't you design a useful tactic for the main general's brain, even if you block it, don't let Wei Shao take two steps away from the three-point line, and shoot if there is someone in front of him.

Wei Shao barely scored a few times, and the Rockets counterattacked and scored a goal, so he quickly called a timeout to adjust everyone's mentality.

Donovan didn't do it.

And what I want to say is that Wei Shao's real problem is not whether he brushes the data or not, not whether he is a ball bully.

It was Wei Shao's game, which conveyed such a temperament and message:

This team is mine

I'm the main character

I'm going to win

I'm going to make the cut

I'm looking for Durant for revenge

If you can help, you can help

If you can't help, just stay and go

Can you play ball?

Lao Tzu cut people

Just carry your sword

To be honest, I don't think Harden can make his teammates better, and when he is on the floor, the effect of the data presentation is more efficient

Take Reeds, for example, he was a dad in the Lakers and a dad in the Rockets bench.

Is there a Harden or not, and how much of an impact does it have on the reeds?

But what Harden does is, I can't help you much, I can guarantee that when you're on the court with me, I can guarantee that you have a play.

That's all.

The message from Harden is:

We are Team Rocket

We're going to win

Didn't make it? It's okay, try again, vote for you again, and you might just get in

Lost, I'm sorry everyone, I'm too bad

Win, oh yes, that's how good our Rockets are

Let's say a free agent, or a star player who just broke up with his old club.

He wants to worship the mountain and recognize the eldest brother.

Who do you think he recognizes?

Wei Shao, this brother, you have to weigh it before you admit it.

It's hard to lose this data statistics in the past, hey, let me tell you, in fact, Wei Shao's high-level data is good, he is the one who can make his teammates more happy.

Don't you think it's ridiculous?

And Wei Shao's embarrassment is that the thick eyebrows and test gods can blame their teammates CBA, but he doesn't cooperate with superstars and "CBAs" until the end of the day.

Don't tell me that Durant is a traitor, the rest of the people can't care so much about the merits when they think about whether to add to your team, and they only look at the results.

When you come to the Thunder, you have to be prepared not to steal the show at the same time, and if you want to leave, you have to worry about being said to be "not paying for the Thunder" and "spineless".

To put it bluntly, if this atmosphere continues, it is likely to become: Come to the Thunder, not for the Thunder, but for Westbrook. Your mission is to help Westbrook win, avenge Westbrook, and help Westbrook Balabala.

It's helped, hey, you're a good boy, you can't help, hum, you're trash, where to stay cool!

The data listed in this news article is very heart-wrenching:

Weiss 35 Iron Pit Thunder Rockets love to see him red-eyed and brutal

NetEase Sports 2017-04-27 07:00

The Rockets beat the Thunder in five games, and Westbrook ended his legendary 2016-17 season. In addition to the long list of stats, there is still a question that has been repeatedly raised: Is the Thunder's playoff performance satisfactory?

Apparently not.

Westbrook is well ahead of the MVP vote that has already been revealed, and the trophy is in his pocket if nothing else. In the first round of the playoffs, Weiss still cut super luxury data, but the Thunder collapsed again and again in the final quarter and fell in the first round. Weiss won the stats, but the Thunder lost. So, behind the data of Weiss's horror, we have to go through the chaff and take a magnifying glass to see what went wrong.

First, let Weiss pick up the back board and push the fast attack, is it really easy to make?

Westbrook is averaging nine backcourt rebounds per game this season, while the Thunder's two seven-foot centers are not as good as him combined. Kante explained: "I gave him all of Weiss's boards. ”

If Kanter and Adams won't grab rebounds, Thunder fans won't admit it. It's just that Weiss's supporters believe that letting Weiss take the backcourt board is conducive to pushing the fast attack.

That's right, the Thunder are one of the best fast-break teams in the league, with a 16.3% fast-break conversion rate, ranking fourth in the league behind the Warriors, Rockets and Suns. In the playoffs, the Thunder were able to score 15 points per game through anti-reversal conversion, and they could also rank third. In line with the impression - the Thunder are the league's best counter-attacking powerhouse.

On the other hand, the Rockets scored only 6.6 points in the playoffs, ranking 15th among 16 teams. From this point of view, the two teams are not the same style, and the advantage of playing fast Thunder is obvious.

But the question is, the Thunder have such a big advantage in fast-break scoring, what other aspect does the Rockets rely on to recover the disadvantage and win in the end?

The answer is also fast breaking. The Thunder played a lot of fast offense, but they also made a lot of mistakes, and the Rockets grasped every Thunder mistake and scored through positional battles in turn. The Rockets scored 20 points per game on the Thunder's turnovers (first in the league), while the Thunder were second-to-last in the league in this regard.

From a team level, the core of both teams is a big turnover, but the Rockets took advantage of Weiss's mistakes far more than the Thunder.

Putting all the backs into account, Westbrook made 11 turnovers in pushing the break, an average of 2.2 per game. Among them, he grabbed the backcourt rebound and strode to the opponent's basket to make mistakes, accounting for 8 times.

Therefore, the Rockets are hoping that Weiss will grab the back board and immediately push the counterattack, and then force him to make mistakes, and then earn a round to reorganize the offense (in English, the form of mistakes is turnover, ball conversion).

The picture is like this: Weiss kills the inside line and divides the ball to the bottom corner, and at this time the shooter is not in place, and the ball is out of bounds; Or maybe Weiss was intercepted by the airspace under the basket and hurriedly threw it back, but there was no follow-up teammate behind him, and the ball was converted and missed.

I don't know if Coach Donovan will also silently say: Vis Ahvis Slow down, calm down, wait for your teammates.

Second, the red-eye version of Weiss in the last section turned on the cancer mode and hit the rocket

After all, there are only a few people in this world who can persuade Weiss. Even if he humbly accepts it, when he gets to the court, he will not distinguish between the enemy and me - in the last game of the series, Grant was making a basket, but he watched his No. 0 teammate jump out from the side, "covering" his shot, which was counted as one of his frontcourt rebounds......

When it came to the stalemate moment in the fourth quarter, Weiss would always show up with red eyes. In the regular season this season, Weiss's performance in key moments was king: he averaged 6.2 points per game in key moments, leading the league. Accordingly, he has a terrifying 62.3% possession rate.

How do you describe 62.3%...... For comparison, Westbrook had 41.7 percent possession in the regular season this season — the first in history to break 40 and more than former record holder Kobe Bryant.

In other words, in the white-hot time of the fourth quarter, Weiss evolved from the super ball dominance mode to the ultimate ball dominance mode - in this year's playoffs, Weiss's ball possession rate in the final quarter was as high as 57%.

The Thunder took 114 shots in the fourth quarter, and Weiss took 49 of them. For comparison, Oladipo, who had the second-most shots on the Thunder team, took 61 shots in five games, only 12 more than Weiss took in the fourth quarter. There were a lot of doubts about Oladipo in this series, but let's look at the team's boss's last-quarter efficiency: 49 shots and 35 irons, shooting 28.6% from the field and 19% from three-point range.

A picture to cover it up:

Surrounding Weiss are the three protagonists of the Eastern Iron War, LeBron, Irving and George, all three of whom have a miserable chance of being hit; And Leonard and Paul, in line with the impression, are quite stable.

Why is Vis's last hit rate so miserable? Just look at his shot choices and you'll understand:

Of all the goals scored by Weiss in the final quarter, only one came from an assist. It was the fourth game of the playoffs, and the Thunder trailed by 4 points with 21 seconds left, Adams deliberately hit the front of the basket with a three-pointer, grabbed the rebound and passed it back, and Weiss hit a three-point shot in two steps outside the three-point line.

Weiss's catch-and-shoot jumper combined for 1-of-7.

Hold the ball and dribble, pull up and shoot? He shot 8-of-28 from the field and shot 28.6 percent. (Sure enough, catching and shooting is not as good as dribbling himself, so it's no wonder that Weiss refused to cooperate with his teammates in the last quarter.) ）

When opponents clinged to defend him, Weiss shot 0-of-7 from three-point range; It doesn't matter if you let him go, 1 out of 8.

With more than 18 seconds left on the timer, Weiss threw 11 and scored only three. At 15-18 seconds, 1 in 6.

This extreme personal heroism, accompanied by the sound of clanging accompaniment, will honestly look a little spicy to the eyes.

The stats don't like to lie, especially when there are clear criteria: When Wess played in the fourth quarter, the Thunder had an offensive efficiency of 89.1 and a defensive efficiency of 115.1, losing by 26 points per 100 possessions. It can be said that Weiss buried the Thunder with his own hands in the fourth quarter.

That's why Rockets coach Dantony said something cool: "I was drinking soda on the sidelines in the fourth quarter, why did I suddenly stop Weiss." "The hotter Weiss brains, the happier Rockets get. As for how to make him brain hot, there is a secret weapon! Come on, put Beverly!

The results are clear: Beverley shot 7-of-27 from the field for just 26 percent from the field, far lower than the 43 percent he had when others defended Wise, allowing him to score just 0.72 points per possession, while Wes's turnover rate also increased. When Vis clashed with Beverley, he yelled at him, "No one can stop me!" I've got 40 points! Beverly replied, "You're great, then!" Voted 34 times. After the game, Beverley added: "Men lie, women lie, and statistics don't lie." ”

3. Averaged 10 assists per game, why did Weiss waste his teammates?

You may ask, with double-doubles in assists per game, how can Weiss be a selfish player who only cares about his own blind play? Actually, this is not a conflict.

This season, Westbrook has averaged an assist every 3:55 seconds, but the gap in assists is a bit wide: when Weiss has 10 assists or less, he can assist every 3 minutes and 16 seconds; After 10 assists, there is only one assist every 7 minutes and 2 seconds.

Meaning: The widow has reached three pairs, and all Aiqing can retreat!

Although after every game we hear Weiss say, I don't care about the stats, it all makes no sense to lose. He said no, but he was very honest physically.

Here's how Wess changed in assists quarter-by-quarter in this year's playoffs:

First period, 3.2 times.

Second period, 4.2 times.

Third quarter, 2.2 times.

Fourth quarter, 1.2 times.

Obviously, I've got 10 assists, so give me all the balls, go back and run, and remember to help me be a good guy.

So, you can see Weiss's extreme individual heroism in the fourth quarter (in the name of it: really tried his best); also saw the useless group of "role players" around Weiss; Kante, who was able to play with the ball in his position, was also seen hidden, playing an average of only 3.8 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Is it a teammate? Or are teammates scrapped? The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

In the interview, Weiss said that we are one body, and you media should not always try to divide us, you have ulterior motives.

You can say that again! But what we've seen in all of the Thunder's fourth quarters is that Wess is always the lone hero, no matter who is next to him or who the opponent is, he is unstoppable, killing seven in and seven out. That's why he won the stats and lost the game.

Compare Harden to comparison. In this round of the playoffs, Harden felt cold and his condition was not outstanding. But Harden would be willing to give the ball to Gordon as a Willis single. In addition to this, he can also feed cakes: Capela can play empty matches as long as he can still jump; Nene, who was planning to retire last year, how could he have a historical record of 12 shots and 12 hits?

Why would Morey, who is extremely obsessed with data, look down on Weiss, who is also "obsessed" with data, and taunt him on Twitter every once in a while? Because, Morey is different from ordinary fans, and the data he looks at is not as simple as the so-called scoring, rebounding, and assisting.

After the exit, the problems faced by the Thunder management are quite large: Oladipo's four-year 84 million and Adams' four-year 100 million will take effect next season; Gibson and Robertson are out of contract this summer. N'Golo Kante still has two years to his contract of $18 million each. The Thunder has very little room to operate: the guarantee contract has broken 110 million, and Gibson and Roberson will have no room at all if they let it go for nothing. But the ceiling of this group of players in the future, it looks like this now, counting on them to suddenly open up collectively and cooperate perfectly with Weiss? Difficult.

This group of people has played with Weiss for a season, but their value has dropped a lot. Nine times out of ten, the Thunder will lose money if they want to trade, and they will also face new run-in problems. Even if there is plenty of space, according to Weiss's style of play, will there be big names willing to join him? Please remember Durant.

So for the Thunder management, is it a complete reorganization around Weiss? Or do you want to enlighten Weiss and ask him to change his style of play and try to integrate all his teammates into the system?

This goes back to the previous question, does he listen to you?
