The baseline runs outward, quickly shifts the center of gravity, and uses the inside player to cover the basket again...... Kevin. Durant managed to shake off Ruhr. Deng, take the penalty area empty-handed!

Westbrook was leaning on Addison to cut into the three-point line, and in order to prevent the help guard from forming, he deliberately did not choose to go James. The side on which Ennis was. Seeing that Durant successfully cut in, Westbrook immediately hit the basketball with his left hand and passed it to the ground.

Taking over the basketball, Durant met Whiteside's defense, taking a big step towards the baseline first, then drawing a half-big arc with both hands in front of his body, and stepping out with his right foot in the exact opposite direction. The nimble European step, which is completely opposite to his height, deceived Whiteside's position, and Durant directly supported the basketball with his right hand and made a rebound!

"KD's European step! Textbook air cut score! Watching Durant's game, you always feel that he is simply too easy to score! Drexler laughed and praised, "They are against the Miami Heat, who are at the top of the league in defensive ability, and they are a team that has proven to be excellent overall defense!" ”

"The Miamians need to adjust to their form, they were given seven straight points in two minutes, and if it continues, the margin will widen to double digits." Bill. Wharton still couldn't hide his subjective position, and his tone revealed a bit of concern, "During this time, the Heat team seems to have lost their shooting touch, and they can't put the basketball in the net no matter what." ”

Spoelstra called a timeout, and with only about seven minutes into the first quarter, the margin was already about to be stretched out, which was not what he wanted to see. The Thunder, who scored seven points in a row, played quickly and sharply, and they are also a team that is good at counter-attacking, and with the super individual ability of their core players, they have a high success rate on counterattacks.

"Success rate! Guys, we're going to go for success now! "The opponent is just as good at counter-attacking as we are, so we have to make sure we don't make mistakes every turn!" ”

Spoelstra highlighted an asterisk at the point guard position on the tactical board and looked up at Addison: "Strengthen your individual offense, Eddie, the Thunder are not the kind of opponent who can be solved with a few deep passes. Westbrook is nothing to fear, and his defense isn't as strong as it seems. ”

The head coach's tone was more tactful, but Addison still heard the criticism in the other party's words. It's true that in the past few minutes, he has been using passes more to help his teammates open up the fire, but the Thunder's defensive rotation has done a good job, causing Bosh and others to seriously drop their shooting percentage.

Westbrook was so impressed by his power and explosiveness in the opening stages that he subconsciously wanted to avoid his opponents on the offensive end. It's a ridiculous subconscious, and Spoelstra points it out in a word.

Being physically strong doesn't mean you're good defensively, and Westbrook is a typical example of relying on body over skill on the defensive end, and Addison has faced quite a few of these opponents before. There's no reason for a Chinese rookie to be able to play against John. Wall is not down, but he is afraid to break through Westbrook's defense.

I'm afraid it was Westbrook's strong play in the opening phase that had some effect on Addison's subconscious......

However, after being told by the head coach, Addison broke free from this mentality, and he nodded to Spoelstra, looking at Westbrook with a slight chill in his eyes.

The timeout ended, and both sides returned to the field. Thunder side Andre. Robertson sat on the bench, while Anthony Brown. Moreau was substituted.

This substitution made Addison frown a little annoyed, Ennis was able to help him defend Westbrook as much as possible because of Andre. Robertson is largely incapable of projection. And Anthony. Morrow, on the other hand, is a very good goalscorer despite his poor defense!

Ennis must not be more than a position away from Morrow, who has shot more than 40% from three-point range this season, and letting him go is no different from shooting from an opposition forward on the football field......

It seems that Scott. Brooks didn't want to let 'The Turtle' be limited on the offensive end, and wanted to use this method to recreate a situation where Addison was alone against Westbrook.

***

Coming to the front with the ball, Addison didn't get as close to the top of the arc as he had before. He passed the ball to Ennis, then came to the right flank and picked up a team-mate's return pass.

The Heat point guard holds the ball in both hands on his waist and poses as a triple threat. Years of experience in the game have made Westbrook instinctively feel that his opponent is different from before, and it has also made him more cautious.

Addison didn't make a tentative move, but just held the ball with both hands and shook his center of gravity twice. When he leaned his center of gravity to the left side of his body for the third time with the ball, his left hand suddenly paddled the basketball to the right side, and at the same time quickly pulled back the center of gravity, and the dribble broke through to the right side!

Westbrook was briefly stunned, but he relied on his tough physicality to keep his opponent back in focus, and his sideways slide blocked Addison's breakaway.

The Chinese point guard's right hand also returned the basketball from behind to the left in the next moment, and the center of gravity twisted again, cutting into the inside line along the wing with his starting speed!

The out-of-position Westbrook turned to follow Addison's flank and chase after him, but was immediately overwhelmed by Chris. Bosh's cover was held in place. Without the pressure of defense, Addison immediately sprang up to speed, rushed to the reasonable collision zone in a few steps, and jumped high with tense muscles in his legs......

Whiteseidmin shrewdly placed Steven. With Adamscard behind him, watch Addison perform a one-handed dunk on the Thunder's basket with a blistering momentum!

Addison's strong response! He's telling the Thunder not to take the win lightly!! "Bill. Wharton said in a high-pitched tone, "I have to say that Addison attacked very resolutely this time, much more resolutely than the previous few minutes!" ”

"That's what he's supposed to do, and no matter how much he's a point guard, he should see the team's offense isn't good right now. As the core of the field, he should step up and use his attack to lead his teammates. Drexler seemed much calmer, and he was a little disappointed that Addison hadn't come forward until now.

Westbrook received the serve with a blank face, a little annoyed by his defensive failures. Addison's performance was so different from the first few minutes that 'Turtle' didn't know how to adapt for a while.

Westbrook was ready to attack himself after passing half the court, and Durant didn't run over to ask for the ball when he saw this, and gave the ball to his partner very tacitly.

The Thunder point guard did not choose to force a breakthrough this time, but took Addison in the direction of the horn position, and then directly turned his back and jammed the opponent.

Westbrook's back-to-back offense is quite good, although not as good as Delon Brown. Williams' movements are so smooth and soft, but the fierce body combined with his increasingly mature technique gives people a domineering and awe-inspiring feeling. In the 2012 playoff game against the Lakers, Westbrook taught the Lakers' point guards all the lessons with a back-to-back single, so that the entire league remembered his back-to-back ability.

The first blow of the 'Great Turtle' pushing backwards made Addison a little overwhelmed and took a step back. Westbrook didn't give his opponent time to cushion at all, and another blow sent Addison back again.

James on the side. Ennis couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly came to the rescue. Westbrook had expected this, and before Ennis could finish the bag, he jumped up and threw the ball to Anthony, who moved to the bottom corner. Moreau. The in-form shooter didn't waste his chances, hitting the corner three-pointer with precision.

"Westbrook is smart, he has taken Addison's biggest flaw and chosen the safest way to attack." Bill. Wharton couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Addison's thin physique will make Westbrook's back attack easier than eating the candy in his pocket...... He has to gain weight at the end of the season, at least 80 kilograms. ”

"But the first thing the Heat have to deal with is how to deal with the past in this game, and it's clear that Addison can't defend Westbrook's back-to-back offense, will Coach Spoelstra arrange for Ennis to switch defenses? But Ennis's speed and explosiveness are a lot worse than Westbrook's...... "Drexler looked at the head coach of the Heat standing on the sidelines.

***

Scott. Brooks smiled, watching Westbrook suppress Addison on the court, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Before the game, he expected that the Heat might use a defensive trap to defend Westbrook. Morrow was just able to break down the opposition's defensive strategy. Moreau's counterpoint to James. Ennis doesn't have much of an autonomous offensive ability, so his defensive duties are not heavy. He just needs to do a good job on the court to help Westbrook pull up the defensive space and shoot open three-pointers.

As for Addison, can't Westbrook handle this skinny rookie on the offensive end?

Take the Ruhr. Deng's serve, Addison just passed the half, Westbrook pressed up, still intending to use power to press Addison to pass, just like he did in the previous rounds.

However, this time, the Chinese point guard suddenly slapped the ball with his right hand when the two were getting closer, making a move to sprint. The move brought Westbrook's momentum to a halt and he stepped back half a step with his right foot. Addison made a quick forward change of direction, and the basketball was handed to his left hand and rushed to the left.

'The Great Turtle' moved quickly laterally, sliding in front of the Heat's point guard. But Addison deliberately made physical contact with his opponent, pulled the ball lightly before Westbrook could exert his strength, and gracefully pulled the ball and turned past his opponent!

Sergi in the penalty area. Ibaka immediately let go of Bosh and pounced on the Chinese rookie who rushed in, but Addison threw the basketball towards the basket before he could make up the defense......

Whiteside on the edge of the paint field noticed that Adams' attention was distracted by Bosh, and he jerked sideways to jam the New Zealand center, striding into the paint, and then jumping to the ground in the arc of the basketball!

"Boom !!"

The brilliant aerial catch dunk once again sent the American Airlines arena into a frenzy......
