Chapter 14 Durant: Only Wrap Up!
~
The Chesapeake Energy Arena was buzzing with fans who were all stunned by Yang's four consecutive three-pointers.
Yang Yi debuted with a three-point shot, but except for relying on three points as an offensive weapon at the beginning of the season, his three points have not been so frightening.
Four consecutive three-pointers directly extinguished the expectations of Thunder fans to clock out of work in the third quarter. If Yang Yi's touch can be maintained after the timeout, and the Thunder have nothing to deal with, fans will not dare to imagine the outcome of the game in the next game.
"Kevin, wait a minute, you and Russell switch guards, you go defend the one; Russell, you defend Gordon. With limited timeouts, Brooks had to quickly inform his players of the countermeasures he had in mind. At the same time, he also wanted Yang Yi to cool down his feelings.
The fat man's feeling in the second half made him tremble!
"Scott, it was an accident just now, I think I can prevent the one." Seeing that the head coach was ready to let him and Durant switch defenses, the turtle quit and his face was quite ugly.
He is a star who belongs to a tendon, Yang Yi's attack is indeed strong, but it is impossible for him to admit defeat like this. What's more, isn't the Thunder still 14 points ahead of the Hornets now? Brooks is this expressing dissatisfaction with himself?
"Russell, I'm not targeting you, Kevin has a height advantage, and if he defends the one, you'll have more offensive opportunities. If you face Gordon, we're much more dangerous than we were before. Brooks explained slowly.
The Turtle and the Little Schoolbag are both talented stars under him, and although he has established his prestige in the Thunder, he doesn't want to have a conflict with his two generals.
Westbrook wanted to say something, but Durant grabbed him and motioned him not to say anything more and do what the head coach asked. The two get along day and night, and they know what the other party wants to express with a glance, so the turtle is patient to listen to the head coach's arrangement.
"Kevin is the main defense of the one, and the others can't be idle. When necessary, he stepped forward to wrap up, even if he let go of the other Hornets players, he couldn't let him shoot. You all know the power of the four threes in a row, and I don't have to say anything more here! ”
Brooks' core defensive tactic is only one, which is to let Yang Yi fall into the encirclement of the Thunder and not give him a chance to shoot. Or, don't let him shoot in the usual way and keep his shooting percentage down.
The atmosphere on the Thunder bench was very serious, but the Hornets bench corresponding to them was full of joy.
The fat man did what he said, and in less than two minutes, he narrowed the gap of 10 points for the Hornets and turned the score to 68:56.
"The Thunder's tactics are mainly aimed at the one, and we must seize this opportunity to narrow the score to single digits." Williams writes and draws on the tactics board while explaining to his players.
"So what do we do next?" Lopez asked as he looked at the manager.
"The One can play alone when he has a chance, and pass the ball out if he doesn't have a chance, and I guess the Thunder will use a trap tactic against him. You find the open space and shoot straight to the ball when you get the ONE pass and try to minimize the margin at the end of the third quarter. ”
"No problem!" After explaining to his players, Williams asked loudly. If they all lose the vacant seats, they can go directly to the development alliance and mix, and they don't have to occupy the number of the Hornet's regular army.
"1, 2, 3, come on!" Before going on the court, the Hornets players sit in a circle and cheer each other on. The decadence of trailing by 22 points in the first half has completely disappeared, and there is just an indomitable momentum and the belief that you will win!
The Thunder possessed the ball, and Westbrook held the ball to organize the offense.
If he wants to attack, the first thing he has to face is Yang Yi. Brooks just asked him and Durant to switch defenses, and Yang didn't know there was such a thing. Therefore, when he saw the turtle dribbling to the front court, he directly greeted him.
Wei Shao did not do anything brutally, but handed the ball to Durant, who came to answer, and let the other players of the team play, and he held Yang Yi in the outside.
Bang dang!
After a few transitions, the ball came to Perkins with an empty cut to the basket. With no one left and right, Perkins ended the offense with a slam dunk to stretch the gap between the two teams to 14 points.
When Yang Yi came to the front court with the ball, he was shocked to find that he was standing in front of a small schoolbag that was a head taller than him. The pressure on the fat man from the tall and arm-long schoolbag is completely absent from the turtle, and if he dares to throw three points directly in front of Durant, he will definitely be rewarded with a fragrant spicy hot pot.
There is no way to shoot directly from a three-point shot, but he can get a shot through other methods. In other words, he can use his strengths to get consistent shots for his teammates.
The fat man gave the ball to Aminu and took Durant to run without the ball. Taking advantage of a teammate's off-ball block, he managed to shake off the small bag and receive a pass from Anderson in the bottom corner.
Ibaka, who was close at hand, saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly pounced on it to block it. At this moment, he didn't think that the fat man would make a foul. Even if the fat man dares to make a foul, it will definitely not be him who is injured.
Ibaka is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 108 kilograms, and he rushes completely like a heavy truck.
Yang Yi did not cheat, he saw Ibaka rushing over, holding the ball and making a shooting gesture. When Ibaka flew in front of him, he flicked a shot and took a step sideways to the left, and after Ibaka flew out, he adjusted his posture and threw the ball in his hand by the way.
Swish!
Fifth three-pointer! Young hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner after flying Ibaka steadily.
it!
Brooks couldn't help but cover his cheeks with his hands when he saw the fat man easily hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner after shaking off Ibaka.
I can't stand it anymore.
One player can't block Yang Yi's attack at all, perhaps, only two players can stop him if they follow him inch by inch.
Wait until the next round when the fat man repeats his old trick and after hitting a three-pointer from the top of the arc, Brooks throws away his usual Sven!
"Wrap him, wrap him, don't give him another chance." He stood on the sidelines and shouted instructions to his players, hoping that they would really restrain the fat man in this way.
Durant is in the same bad mood now as the Turtle wasn't so long ago. He is indeed tall and has long arms, and his steps are also big, but Yang Yi is very slippery, and he doesn't fight him alone at all, leading him around.
There were not only him and Yang Yi or two people on the field, when they started a chase battle, the Hornets players on the field consciously blocked his chase route and won the opportunity for Yang Yi to attack.
Maybe Scott is right, you can only deal with the little fat man!
