Chapter 129: Innate Ability

"Isn't that guy shooting a little too tall?!" Lin Xiaoxiao's moist lips opened slightly, "The arms are so long!" Isn't that cheating for sure?! ”

Lin Yanmo's eyebrows raised slightly: "Many people say so, but this is actually a talent." In his position, no matter who he faces, it can be considered a misplaced attack...... It's a rare talent, and there are a lot of players in the league who are his height, but who can combine skill, agility and speed, and that's all I know about him on the court until now. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao heard this, and wrinkled his nose impatiently: "Doesn't that mean that this guy is very powerful??" ”

"He's one of the most powerful scorers in the active league, maybe it's okay to remove the 'one'......" Lin Yanmo glanced at his sister, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up with bad intentions, "The strength is much stronger than your idol." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes, and his mouth was slightly dissatisfied: "Cut...... I don't believe ......"

Spoelstra on the sidelines was not in the slightest dissatisfaction with Durant's goal, but only signaled to Ruhr. Deng kept a tighter guard. He knew very well that it was impossible for a player of Durant's level to defend it, so he only arranged for Ruhr. Deng's one-on-one marking, no bag clamps.

The Heat's defensive strategy was to limit Westbrook's play as much as possible while cutting off Kevin. The connection between Durant and his teammates turned the Thunder's duo into a lone hero on the court. As long as Westbrook can be limited as much as possible, even if Durant scores 40 or 50 points in a single game, it won't help.

Of course, it's all based on the premise that the Heat's offense won't be limited by their opponents......

And now this Heat team must meet two points if they want to attack without being restricted - first, Addison must play well, as the team's most reliable player with the ball and offense, if he doesn't play well, it is basically doomed to the Heat's loss; Second, Addison's connection with his teammates cannot be severed. If, like in the last game against the Warriors, Addison's passing path has been blocked by opponents, and his passing effect has dropped by half, it will still be difficult for the Heat to win.

Spoelstra understands this, and Thunder head coach Scott Brown understands this. Brooks couldn't have been unclear either. Both sides are making targeted defensive arrangements, and if you want to break it, you have to find the opponent's defensive holes on the field.

Addison had been watching since the pre-game, and he hadn't found any particularly obvious defensive holes for the Thunder until now. Westbrook, Robertson and Durant on the perimeter can all be agile and fast-moving players; Sergi on the inside. Ibaka is physically fit and very good at basket covers; Steven. Since entering the league last year, Adams has grown rapidly on both ends of the floor and has great potential to become a good center.

This lineup, as long as their defensive rotation is not a problem, will be extremely strong in blocking on the defensive end.

On the court, the Heat made another pick-and-roll on the inside, Bosh took advantage of Whiteside's cover to get to the right high post, and Addison's pass followed up in time. The 'Dragon King' catch-and-shoot action is almost exactly the same as Durant's just now, in fact, in addition to the offensive ability with the ball, the two men are similar in many ways.

Ibaka was blocked by Whiteside, and although Adams had the heart to make up for it, his movement speed was still a bit behind that of Bosh, who had already completed his shot before the defense was in place.

Hit this two-pointer! The Dragons' leap in self-confidence this season is obvious to all, especially his mid-range shooting ability is more refined than in previous seasons, even compared to a top scorer like Durant.

Just don't meet Drummond. Green's kind of interior player who can entangle the whole court while receiving passes from teammates in a timely manner, Bosh is generally excellent on the offensive end.

Scott. Brooks frowned at the sight, as Serge Ibaka has been less defensive deterrent since he forced his return from injury in the playoffs last season. Movement, Jump, Explosiveness...... His physical stats seem to be waning, and his contribution on the defensive end is starting to become less prominent.

The Thunder have focused on developing Steven this season. Adams, for example, wanted to be a defensive pillar on the inside again. Most of the players who were forced to play after the injury did not turn out very well, and the Thunder's uniform team could not have watched Ibaka weaken, but the team did not have a good replacement.

However, this stage is an extremely embarrassing one for the Thunder. Adams is still growing, while Ibaka's defensive prowess is declining. If Ibaka is in his prime, it is impossible to be covered tightly by an inside screen, you must know that this Spanish black man is known for his strong blocking and basket protection.

Switching offense and defense, Westbrook did not hold the ball himself again this time, but passed to Kevin, who had scored before. Durant.

The Thunder are one of the easiest teams in the league to play offensively, but they are also one of the most effective. Westbrook plays with the ball and Kevin. Durant's offense with the ball, these two basic tactics can be derived from many ways to score on the court that opponents are unable to defend...... Mainly because of the personal ability of Thunder Duo Terror.

Durant put on a three-threat stance on the left side of the three-point line towards Ruhr. Deng took a tentative step with his left foot, but the Englishman was unmoved, and D shook off and took a big stride to dribble to the left. Steven on the inside. Adams ran over at the same moment and took Ruhr. Deng briefly stood in front of him.

Durant, who broke through with the ball, only took a big step forward, and then quickly pulled the ball to the side of his body and retreated, directly to the bottom corner of the three-point line, and his long body was pulled up like this.

"Step back for a three-pointer! Oh my God, this kind of ball is so easy for KD! Drexler couldn't help but sigh, "Ruhl. Deng's lateral interference didn't play any role, but gave Durant the best background! ”

"That's exactly what I'm saying, Clyde, this is the Oklahoma City Thunder!" Bill. Wharton continued, "Their talent is almost unmatched in the entire league, and they use their talent to create great lethality!"

"A lot of people I know are slamming the Thunder's tactics for being too simplistic, and every time this is the case I retort — does this team need to be complicated? Kevin. Durant and Russell. Does Westbrook need a very cumbersome tactic to destroy the opponent? The answer is absolutely no!

"KD and Westbrook are dominant on the offensive end...... Well, maybe Westbrook is close to dominance, and KD has definitely reached dominance. These two people are enough to suppress most opponents with their strong individual ability and role player cooperation, and too complex tactics will affect the blood and creativity of the two of them.

"Just like the Los Angeles Lakers during the OK combination, with Kobe Bryant and Shaq, the two terrifying cores, are their tactics complicated? It's not complicated! Phil. Jackson was promoting the triangle offense with the Lakers at the time, but what was the essence of the triangle offense? It's nothing more than a singles for star players...... Create chances for the whole team with superstar singles until they destroy the opponent. ”

Drexler glanced at Bill, who was talking eloquently. Wharton: "But the OK duo won three straight championships, old man, and the only time the Thunder made it to the Finals was to the Heat, whom they're playing against. ”

That only shows that KD and Westbrook were not yet dominating enough to win a championship, even with the addition of James at the time. Harden ...... "Beal. Wharton shrugged his shoulders and looked disapproving, "You know, Clyde, the Miami Heat at that time was as talented as the Thunder. ”

Addison can also feel the strong lethality of the opponent at this moment, and he can see that the tactical arrangement of the Thunder team is not complicated, mainly the two core ball-holding offenses.

But it's a simple tactic, but it can move forward on the field, and few opponents can match it. Because Westbrook and Durant will always have a burst out, and when the defense focuses on one of them, the other gets a chance...... In the eyes of many, it is not a chance of chance......
