Chapter 308: Burn, Kill and Loot! (b)
"Whew......!"
When the basketball was thrown high, many fans at the scene were stunned.
Hairstyle Brother ...... Fast-break passes?
Although there is Ibaka behind him, most normal humans will choose to pass the ball horizontally. Unless you're a historic fast-break finisher at the level of LeBron James, it's the norm to be pinned to the rebound by a big hat from Ibaka.
But Gu Yu is obviously not a normal human being.
"Rub!"
At the same time that the basketball was thrown up, Thompson, who had just covered Gu Yu on the flank, turned around and went down, taking advantage of the fact that Safrosa was completely attracted by Gu Yu's attention and had no time to take care of him, he cut inside and jumped directly.
“…… Bang! ”
Flying dragon in the sky!
“…… I rely on air relays!! ”
San Antonio, Reggie Miller was completely overwhelmed by the images coming from front of him.
“NICE-MOVE——!!”
In the picture, Gu Yu, who completed the pass, and Thompson, who completed the violent dunk, high-fived him heavily, and when they returned to defend together, Gu Yu also stretched out his hands and made a movement to show off his muscles. It is also extremely rare that this provocative action did not receive boos from Thunder fans.
"Thunder fans...... It seems to recognize the strength of the hairstyle brother a little. ”
Albert also looked at the return screen in front of him in a daze and said: "In the first game, the Thunder won at home, and the best performance on the King's side was also the hairstyle brother." So far in this game, all of the Kings' offensive scores have been related to the hairstyle brother, saying that he is the offensive core of the Kings team, there is nothing wrong with it! ”
"yes......!"
Miller nodded and said: "This Kings team, the Suns team of a few years ago, including the gorgeous Kings of a long time ago, ten years ago, all have a gorgeous team to cooperate with the offense, and they can overcome obstacles and move forward bravely in the regular season." But at the same time, they all have the same problem: when the defensive intensity comes up in the playoffs, and the opponent doesn't let you play fluently, the offense fails, and it is difficult to go further. ”
Whether it is the peak Kings or the Suns led by the peak Nash, the best record in the playoffs is only the division finals, and they have never entered the finals.
It is said that defense wins championships, and these two teams are not strong enough on the defensive end, which is indeed one of the reasons why the playoffs cannot go further. But from another point of view, there is another important reason why the two teams have frequently lost in the playoffs.
"The playoffs, after all, are the stage for superstars......!"
Albert's comment is not to say that Webb is not a superstar and Nash is not a superstar.
But a superstar of Webernash's level still needs a certain system to support him. When properly systematized, they can make the most of their personal role.
But when the system fails and the opponent bites and defends like a mad dog, their lack of ability to single-handedly affect the battle situation will be exposed.
As strong as Garnett, he also failed to touch the finals stage before forming the Big Three. Isn't his strength strong? Of course strong, so strong that it was once considered the number one person in the league in terms of individual ability.
But when everything fails and the tactics go wrong, their individual attacks are not enough to tear apart the opponent's defensive strategy.
The championship has naturally become a luxury.
In contrast, the Suns led by Barkley are certainly not as dazzling as Nash's Suns than the system. But Barkley himself is strong enough, so strong that you can't safely sever the connection between him and his teammates and let him go it alone - because he can really bang you for forty or fifty points and you to the point of doubt. ”
"In my mind, a real superstar is someone who can solve problems that can't be solved on a tactical level...... ”
"Brush!"
On the court, the game continued, the Thunder's problem-solver stepped up, Westbrook found space after blocking and dismantling Durant, hit a two-point jumper from a mid-range emergency stop, and put his arrogant hands into the pocket, which caused the audience to cheer and thunder.
The next second
"Whoosh——!
The Kings served the baseline ball quickly and also gave the ball to the man who "solved the problem".
"Bang bang!"
The killer has changed direction!
Constantly practicing his dribbling skills, Gu Yu's change of direction was flawless, and after breaking into the middle distance, he shook his shoulder, shaking Safrosa half a step away, and then threw it with a slight back.
"Huh!"
Going!
"It's beautiful! The game is getting better and better!! ”
Gu Yu vs. Thunder, as soon as the two sides opened, they began to abandon overly complicated tactics and directly fought hard.
And the most direct consequence of Shuangshao and Gu Yu's killing on the offensive end is that both teams involuntarily put their defensive focus on the opposite killer.
Kevin Durant got rid of it from mid-range, walked near the baseline and received a pass back from the pack, and Ibaka clicked on the ribs...... Thompson flew! Serge Ibaka strides into the box...... BAM! One-handed dunk!! ”
"Hairstyle brother waist position holding ball face frame, tentative step, point! Safrosa is a bit of a soldier! was clicked half of his body, the thunder bag came, and the hairstyle brother passed the arc to the top...... BOOM!! Tyrek Evans, three-point shot! ”
"Westbrook pushes speed! The surface frame is accelerated directly in one step! I'm flying by this?? It's too ...... Oh my, fold the layup! Westbrook hit this ball really hard!! ”
"Hairstyle guy flanks the three-point line to catch the ball...... Feints! Safrosa was almost shaken down! The hairstyle brother hit the middle distance, and Ibaka's assistant defense came up and made a quick stop...... Middle-of-the-middle!! ”
"Durant cuts to the wing, catches the ball at the three-point line, and Ibaka comes up to block and cut to pass...... Fake Fax Cast! BOOM-BABY! Kevin Durant! Medium distance killing!! ”
"The defensive pressure on the hairstyle brother is too much! Holding the ball instantly attracted the attention of the four people on the Thunder's side, and the dribble was about to be caught in the middle, and the one-handed hit behind him, DeMarcus Cousins answered, jumping to the inside...... Hit cricket and score!! Stylish combination!! ”
"Perkins didn't put it in for a good basket! Wait a minute...... Westbrook!! Frontcourt rebounds and direct dunk scores!! ”
"Step back, step back, step back and go out of bounds, the bottom line is too bad...... Hand in hand! Cousins was very responsive! Changed hands and passed back, the hairstyle brother ran in a loud position, and the whole team's defense was chaotic with a move under his feet! Three-point shot from the bottom corner...... BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!!! Hairstyle brother! Full Firepower!! ”
"Doodoo ——!"
At the end of the first quarter, the whistle sounded, and the two sides played an offensive battle without the slightest temptation. The court was full of fire, and the Thunder were unstoppable, and they teamed up to score 26 points in the first quarter, and almost all of the Thunder's 34-point score was related to the double less.
"Not bad, not bad! The back firepower must be maintained!! ”
On the other side, Gu Yu also went off the court with the praise of his teammates and coaches, and the first quarter was full, and Gu Yu personally contributed 18 points, creating his own playoff single-quarter scoring record.
"Good fight!"
Sitting in the seat, Gu Yu was about to run out of breath, but when he saw Thompson handing over a drink towel by his side, he still smiled and high-fived the latter.
"Cousin, it's good that you're holding it back!"
Thompson also knew that his contribution of being able to score 7 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter was inseparable from Gu Yu's containment, so he hurriedly slapped it with a sycophant.
"Hahaha, of course!"
Gu Yu is never polite......
"Little ghost, don't brag!"
As soon as Westphar saw Gu Yu like this, he couldn't say happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to have the majesty of a coach, try his best to control the muscles at the corners of his mouth, and said, "I have something to discuss with you!" ”
"Let's play!"
Gu Yu nodded.
"I ......"
Westphaal was choked by Gu Yu's words, listening to the good-natured laughter of the players, he reached out and patted Gu Yu's head fiercely, crying and laughing: "At the beginning of the second quarter, you continued to play, is there a problem?" ”
"No problem!"
The players on the side were still surprised, but Gu Yu didn't hesitate at all, and hurriedly nodded: "It's best not to replace me for the whole game, I'm here to play, not to watch the game!" ”
“…… Very good! ”
Westphaal nodded, turned back to the other players and said, "In the first half of the second quarter, the little ghost head and Thorton will be on the court, Thompson, you have been resting for about half a quarter, is it okay to play?" ”
"No, no problem!"
Thompson nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, whether it's Thorton or the little devil holding the ball on the outside, you have to go up and block it as soon as possible. How to deal with the follow-up Let them choose, you just need to quickly go down after blocking and dismantling, and ensure that you can attack the basket decisively when you have the opportunity! Remember, when blocking people, block me tightly! ”
"Understood!"
Thompson nodded heavily.
Blocking people?
It's my specialty!
"The center of gravity of the attack is on the little ghost head and Thorton!"
Westphaal said: "Plus Thompson, the three of them do infinite blocking and dismantling on the strong side, the weak side opens up space as much as possible, and the position on the weak side at the top of the arc stands alone to pick up...... Isaiah, it's you! ”
“GOT-IT!”
Little Thomas nodded, and there was already a faint feeling in his heart:
At the beginning of the second quarter, the king is about to stir up a bloody storm!
"Pay attention to the running and involvement of the bottom corner position, if the strong and weak sides are transferred, the bottom corner person should move to the opposite bottom corner as soon as possible and take the defender away!"
Westfaal's eyes spun around and finally landed on a white man.
"Jimmer, you stand in the bottom corner, let's play one big and four small!"
"Yes......!"
The lonely god is also a little excited, this lineup is obviously going to do something!
"Remember, the first six minutes of the second quarter were the most critical moments. The Thunder will let the duo rest, with Harden leading the team. Harden's choice of the ball is very thoughtful, the offense is basically driven by him, don't be attracted too much attention by his individual offense, defend others, how many points Harden scores, we all recognize. ”
Westphaal said: "The defense of our lineup is not good, the height is disadvantaged, the reason why I want to send you on the field is not to bite the score and grind the position, you will ...... after you go up"
The break was approaching, and Westfaal's eyes were shining.
“…… Give me ...... burn and loot! ”[.]
