Chapter 76: How to get rid of Thunder

As the leader of the team, Durant is depressed.

At first, he felt very good. However, then the Lakers suddenly changed their defensive strategy, and the defenders stalked him, even when he was not on the ball, they would stick to him like a dogskin plaster.

Of course, even so, one-on-one defense can't stop him from slashing points. It's just that the Lakers' defense doesn't just send one player. In the first half of the game, he often had to face the bag, and the opponent did everything to defend him, which made him extremely uncomfortable and aggrieved, so that he suddenly became in bad shape.

At the end of the half, looking at the 11-point difference, Durant was extremely unhappy, and after returning to the locker room, he sat aside without saying a word.

Seeing this, Brooks couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart. Durant is indeed an all-time super scorer, but his personality does not make him a revered leader. It can be said that Durant's influence in the Thunder locker room is really not much.

As a head coach, Brooks has thought more than once that if Durant has the personality and leadership style of James, then his achievements are probably much higher than James.

However, there is no if in this world, everything has the meaning and necessity of his existence. Durant also has his Durant career path.

Brooks took his eyes off Durant and landed on Westbrook, who was talking loudly in the locker room, and with an angry face.

Looking at his arrogant and domineering appearance, Brooks couldn't help but smile, this guy really made him love and hate. Sometimes he is impulsive and brainless, but when he comes to his senses, he is really a rare leader.

Brooks thinks that if Westbrook can get rid of some of his frizzy and impulsive habits, he will probably become the best player in the league.

I was indignant, but Brooks shook his head again. In his opinion, this is the trouble of having two superstars at the same time!

And, really, he shouldn't have asked for that much. If Durant's personality changes, if Westbrook gets rid of some faults, and both of them suddenly become perfect leaders and players, then how can the small temple of the Thunder accommodate two great gods?

Obviously, the two have their own shortcomings, which may be the reason why they can become Thunder players at the same time.

Looking at the time, Brooks came out of his deep thought and began to think about the second half of the game.

After some thought, Brooks began to make arrangements.

"Kevin, Russell, you guys had so little contact in the first half, especially Russell, you have to bring as many other people into the game as possible......"

*******

The Lakers locker room was filled with joy.

Chu Xuan sat on the side, and the two veterans, Kobe Bryant and Gasol, were giving mobilization speeches to everyone, reminding everyone not to relax, and talking about some things that need attention.

For the approach of the two, Chu Xuan was extremely approved in his heart. He has always felt that veterans should play a role in the dressing room.

After the two finished speaking, Chu Xuan stood up and began to talk about the second half of the game.

'The first half was exciting and it showed that we can beat the opposition. For the next game, we have to make a few changes. ”

"First of all, the opponent will definitely make changes in attack, but we still stick to the strategy of defending everyone else. Of course, we have ways to deal with it, and once Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant get their groove in the game, you're going to need to change your defensive strategy and defend Durant and let Westbrook go while putting pressure on the other three as much as possible. ”

"Secondly, there is the attack on our side. Because of the defensive arrangement, our offensive focus has to shift as much as possible to the inside. In the third quarter, Paul will be our main point of attack. ”

……

Ten minutes later.

The field of the Ford Center Arena, the players take the field, and the game continues.

As Chu Xuan expected, the Thunder really found a solution to the game, Durant and Westbrook completed the offense one after another, and then, the two completed an empty dunk that was enough to be selected as the top five of the day.

Obviously, Dewey got out of the bad and found the feeling of the game.

So, only three minutes into the game, Chu Xuan, who was standing on the sidelines, waved his hand, and the Lakers instantly changed their defensive strategy.

Durant had just held the ball when he saw Green and Wesley lunging towards him at the same time, and he suddenly felt the urge to explode.

"Damn, here we go again." Durant's pupils shrank, and he instantly understood the Lakers' intentions.

Although Green and Wesley are not as tall as Durant, they have been trained by Chu Xuan, and their defense is extremely fierce now.

As a result, Durant was treated in the first quarter in an instant, and he was stalked by his opponent.

However, to Durant's surprise, Westbrook did not enjoy this treatment, and he was waving for the ball not far away.

Durant didn't think much of it and passed the ball out without hesitation.

After Westbrook received the ball, he couldn't help but be stunned.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Ford Center also suddenly froze, and there was no one to defend Westbrook. This has led many to call out the stupidity of the Lakers' defense.

Seeing that there was no one to defend, Westbrook came to his senses and threw a three-pointer.

However, it was a pity that the ball could not be shot, and Gasol protected the rebound.

Turning around, it's the Lakers' turn to attack. Jeremy Lin advanced with the ball and saw the stitch to give the ball to Kobe.

After Bryant received the ball, a dummy shot deceived Lamb and went inside.

Seeing Kobe Bryant act like this, Chu Xuan's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, Kobe seemed to be going to do something unusual.

Sure enough, Kobe Bryant burst to the basket, jumped high, and completed a dunk across Ibaka.

The whole movement is extremely smooth and lightning fast.

The sudden appearance of the scene immediately makes people feel crazy.

At the Ford Center Arena, at the moment of Kobe Bryant's dunk, the silence could be heard.

On the Lakers' bench, Thackeray jumped up and frantically threw up the towel.

Looking at Thackeray's bewildered expression, Chu Xuan couldn't help but look strange. Under his coaching, the trajectory of the Lakers' career seems to be a little different from his previous life.

"It seems that someone else needs to be found to replace him, and there must be no shortage of people in that position." Thinking strangely in his heart, Chu Xuan couldn't help but aim his eyes at Thackeray's side, and his excitement was no less than that of Thackeray's Ryan Kelly.

"It seems like he's a good choice." Chu Xuan smiled in his heart, and the choice of mascot seemed to have been decided.
