Chapter 609: In the second half, it's even more powerful! (b)
Thomas Jr., Stevenson.
The Kings lost Wei Shao, but these two benches, one is extremely fast, and the other is annoying, and it is impossible to really defend Evans, but they can both create some trouble for Evans, so that Evans' physical fitness can decline rapidly under the changing rhythm of offense and defense.
Beasley, Vitesse.
The Kings lost George, but these two guys, one seems to be lazy and lazy, but occasionally can suddenly burst out, and the other thinks he is the best in the world and wants to be a father in his life. It is impossible for them to compete with Durant, but one is the sea and the other is the flame, but it can also make Durant ice and fire.
In addition, Durant has to help Safrosa wrap Gu Yu from time to time, and the rapid decline in physical fitness is not surprising.
McGee, Speights.
The Kings lost Bynum, but the two interior lines, one with unlimited jumps and lightning speed, and the other watched the big fly, but actually did the embroidery work of a mid-range jumper. It is impossible for the two of them to suppress Cousins, but the style of play is too different, Cousins sometimes has to defend the air cut that he doesn't like the most on the inside, and sometimes he has to go to the mid-range or even three-point line, and prevent him from the second outside jumper that he doesn't like to defend, and the decline in physical fitness is second, mentally, Cousins can't bear it at all.
It seems that the Kings team has lost the upper hand, and they have no power to fight at all, as long as the three cores on the opposite side exert their strength, the game will be instantly discontinued.
In fact, it was the Thunder who completely fell into the trap of the Kings, and the three cores wasted too much physical energy in many senseless places, and the normal rotation rhythm could not be replenished at all.
In the end, of course, it was Gu Yu's personal singles, who had no ability to score and constantly hit the entire defense line of the Thunder. The three cores were already hard enough to deal with the two weirdos who were entangled with them, and they also divided some of their energy to find a way to restrain Gu Yu together.
And Gu Yu, but he is also a guy who can't be completely restricted, if you prevent him from breaking through, he will show his shot. You prevent him from hitting a shot, and he steps back and throws a three-pointer. You expand your defense to keep him from dropping three points, and he starts playing open cut again. You build a solid Maginot line inside and out, and if you don't let him catch the ball, he and his teammates play a forced clearance of one side of the back.
It is clear that he has put in so much effort and energy, but Gu Yu is still constantly scoring. This kind of psychological pressure is not at all something that the three cores of Thunder can withstand.
"That's the virtuous cycle after the Kings open."
In the sixth minute of the third quarter, the official timeout came, and on the side of the commentary table, Barkley finally understood everything, and in the face of Smith's question, he explained: "First use my cousin's singles to gradually eat away at the Thunder's ability advantage, and then wait for the Thunder to continue to increase my cousin's defense, and when all the players are concentrated on my cousin." The Kings began to fight defense, push the tempo, and constantly make Thunder mistakes to counterattack. ”
"After a few rounds in a row, my cousin didn't have to hold the ball alone, as long as the defense could only throw threes — and the shooting rate was only 31 percent — Safrosa could run and attack quickly. It's much easier than heads-up, and for my cousin, it doesn't take any physical effort at all. After that, it is the vicious circle of the thunder, the three core physical fitness declines rapidly, my cousin plays healthy fast-break basketball, he won't get tired after playing for so long, and the scoring efficiency is still high, do you say it's annoying? ? ”
"Annoying." Smith nodded and said: "The defense is so hard, the offense is so reasonable, but the opponent is fooling around with all kinds of steals, blocks, rebounds, and then as long as the ball is thrown to the frontcourt, someone can score steadily and easily." If it's me, I'm annoyed too! ”
"yes, that's the way the Kings do. The Thunder are still young, or rather, Brooks is still young, and the whole game was led by Phil Jackson. It looks like the Thunder have made so many tactical adjustments, but none of them have worked. The king didn't seem to have made any adjustments, just foolishly, but it was very useful. ”
As he spoke, Barkley cast his eyes on Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines with a mysterious smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Phil Jackson, how can this abacus be called a subtle ......!" ”
Insiders watched the doorway, Barkley realized the mystery, thunder, and finally reacted.
But what's bad is that today's Thunder is already difficult to ride a tiger, Gu Yu has scored 40 points in two and a half quarters, three of his teammates have more than 5 assists, and four people have more than 2 steals.
Thunder wants to adjust again at this time, and it's too late.
For today's plan, there is only one way to go in Huashan.
"To Kevin." On the Thunder bench, Brooks sighed, looked at Durant, as if he was looking at the only doctor in the world who could cure his terminal illness, and said helplessly: "Let him and his cousin face off against each other......!" ”
So, half a minute later, the pause ended.
The Thunder, who returned to the court, took the plunge and made offensive adjustments.
"Pull away!!" After dribbling the ball over the half, Evans was unwilling in his heart, and knew that this was the only way at the moment, so he reluctantly handed the ball to Durant, who was in the rib position.
And the king, how could he let the thunder succeed so easily.
“…… Change! ”
At the moment when Durant received the basketball, Beasley, who was originally defending Durant, suddenly got out of the way, and before Durant could seize this opportunity to shoot directly, another person rushed up.
Gu Yu.
“…… What the?! The Thunder fans were really stunned, their mouths opened wide one by one, and they only felt that the game they saw today was going to completely smash their entire worldview.
Gu Yu, anti-Durant??
Let the team's only scoring core and put valuable physical strength on defending Durant??
Is there a bag for the brain?!
"Come on, Kevin." On the field, Gu Yu looked as usual, obviously this was a tactic that had been discussed with Phil Jackson during the pause, and he did not retreat at all, and put on a serious defensive move, leaving no flaws.
“…… Don't regret it. Durant turned to the frame, made three threats, and responded viciously.
"It's coming!" On the side of the commentary stage, Barkley slapped the table excitedly and said loudly: "Everyone pay attention, from this round, within three rounds, the winner of this game will have an answer!" ”
What??
No one could understand what the fat man was saying, they were all confused.
Why??
It's just over halfway through the third quarter, and there is still a lot of time in the game, and the difference between the two sides is also in single digits. The Thunder is indeed behind, but the three cores are all there, with a score of more than ten points, and a wave of scoring waves will be chased back, why can you say that a few rounds can decide the outcome of the game??
However, what happened after proved that Charles Barkley is indeed a football emperor.
"Bang bang!"
Dribbling with a face frame, Durant didn't dare to pull out the jump shot easily.
In the summer, facing Gu Yu's single defense, the scene of being cut by all kinds of weird balls is still vivid, and he knows very well that Gu Yu is now one of the most terrifying defensive spearheads in the league.
Trying to make a change of direction, Durant's long arms and legs became a constraint at this time. The speed of action was not fast enough, and the change of direction was too large, but there was no way to directly shake off Gu Yu.
Take advantage of height!
"Bang......!"
Durant knows that the best way to beat Gu Yu is to take advantage of his huge advantage of being 15 centimeters taller than Gu Yu. As long as you find the slightest opportunity and shoot at the highest point without being cut by Gu Yu, the probability of scoring a goal will be very high.
But the question is......
"I can't find a chance!!"
In Smith's desperate shouts, Durant tried his best, and all kinds of feints continued to guide, but Gu Yu was never fooled.
The guy standing in front of Durant is like being able to read minds, and he can always read what Durant thinks a moment earlier, and then stand in front of Durant one step ahead.
Kevin Durant, as if facing the Monkey King of Wuzhi Mountain, has eighteen kinds of martial arts, seventy-two variations, and a somersault cloud that can be 108,000 miles with a somersault, but he can only be desperately shrouded by Gu Yu's defense.
This is certainly not the norm for Durant, but Durant who has slipped in physical fitness and has an unbalanced mentality after being entangled by Beasley and Waiters for so long.
No matter who he faces, he is still the ruthless grim reaper, and his sword is a life. In the face of Gu Yu, he was helpless.
"Pull it out, pull it out!"
In his mind, this voice was constantly ringing, and Gu Yu's relatively short height in front of him seemed to be constantly luring Durant to make a dry pull-up jump shot, making Durant completely unable to calm down.
Finally, it was decided to pull it out.
"Rub ......", "Smack! ”
Hand knife to cut the ball!
“…… TF?!! ”
In the desperate scolding of Thunder fans, the nightmare that Durant encountered in 2011 against the aging Kidd reappeared.
Gu Yu cut the ball, and one accelerated away, Durant turned to catch up, and gave up the defense without taking two steps.
Because of Gu Yu, it's too fast.
“…… Swish! ”
Layup again!
"In the first round, my cousin won!" Barkley counted excitedly, with a smile on his lips, and he knew that soon, his prediction would come true.
The Thunder is cornered, leaving Durant and Gu Yu to face Biao, and this is the way to go.
And at this time, if Barkley is Gu Yu, he will definitely step forward to defend Durant.
Because as long as you guard Durant, you don't need more, three rounds are enough, and you can score three more points. Then the superiority between himself and Durant is separated.
Killing the Thunder's last hope, the Kings, how could they lose?
"In the second half, it was even better."
The Thunder attacked again, the ball came to Durant, and the heads-up turned on again.
Durant recalled what Gu Yu said at halftime.
Save your stamina, face the thunder that has dropped sharply in both physical and mental strength, and then kill yourself in heads-up.
Gu Yu's second half, of course, will be even more powerful.
It turned out that from that moment on......
"Smack!"
"You've already calculated everything......!"
Durant's turn and crushed the layup, but Gu Yu burst out, Beasley got the ball, and he didn't want to make a long port.
Gu Yu ran wildly all the way, rode the dust, and received the ball for a layup.
"Huh!"
Continue, continue, in!
