Chu Xuan wanted to use a strong interior line to fight against the Thunder's inside line, so he chose Whiteside. Chu Xuan felt that Whiteside could surprise him.

However, to his surprise, the surprise brought by Whiteside made him a little helpless, in the first quarter of the game, Whiteside, who only played 8 minutes, fouled three times, and then Chu Xuan could only let him stay on the court.

Whiteside's foul crisis was first and foremost due to his tough defense and fierce defense, which prevented him from staying on the court to contribute to the Lakers.

That's not to say that Whiteside didn't help the Lakers during his time on the floor. On the contrary, when Whiteside was on the floor, the Lakers' interior defense was very effective, and in the first quarter of the game, Durant and Westbrook did not even score a single field goal on the inside. Obviously, Whiteside played an unexpected performance, and in this case, the Lakers naturally took the initiative in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Thunder by three points at 29:26.

Whiteside was fouled three times, so Chu Xuan didn't use him anymore, but used Noll to replace Whiteside.

After Knoll came on the court, the Lakers' on-court situation improved again, and in just three minutes of the game, the Lakers played a wave of 9-0 to extend the lead to 12 points.

As soon as this situation arose, Brooks immediately called a timeout and rearranged the strategy and tactics of the game.

You know, this is the playoffs, and you need to be extremely cautious at all times.

And, for both sides, the first game of the series is incredibly important, and it's a matter of morale and the direction of the series.

"Defensively, the opponent's outside shooting was a bit terrible. And they will definitely consider attacking the inside to maintain their success rate. At this point, Norris needs to sit inside and pay more attention to the horns and the paint area, which will be their breakthrough. ”

Chu Xuan thought about it for a while and pointed out a few points on the tactical board, which was where Westbrook and Durant liked to hang out. And precisely, Knoll has a very strong advantage in those points.

As soon as Chu Xuan said this, Noel immediately responded: "Head, we have analyzed their game videos before, and I know where to pay more attention." ”

Chu Xuan nodded and said approvingly: "Well, defense for a few minutes after the pause is extremely important, and all your energy should be focused on defense." ”

Knoll nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere was hot and tense, so no one had too much to talk about and have time to chat or anything.

The players listened carefully, and Chu Xuan kept his mind as clear as possible, arranging the matters that needed to be paid attention to in the game step by step.

Of course, Chu Xuan's arrangement focused on the defense of the Thunder team.

********

The spotlight shone down, and the whole stadium was in a state of light.

It's a focal point, a media feedroom, and a place for fans around the world.

On the court, Durant finally received a pass from Westbrook with the help of the moment of blocking and dismantling.

Yes. It's a pick-and-roll. In this game, the Lakers' defense of Durant was very tight, making it difficult for him to connect the ball.

And the game is playing like this now, Durant has almost no chance to attack with the ball.

The hero who brought this defense was Antetokounmpo, who restrained Durant with his athleticism and superhuman physical condition.

It can be said that from the very beginning of the game, the grappling between Antetokounmpo and Durant became a highlight on the court.

"Damn, I'll score on your head with this one."

Durant bent down to protect the basketball, and looked viciously at Brother Alphabet who was sticking like a dogskin plaster after crossing the block.

Durant was very aggrieved and frustrated, the game played more than a quarter, and he didn't even score a single sports goal, which was not at all the performance that his level should play, which made him frustrated and a little angry.

Durant felt that Brother Alphabet's defensive moves were big, and that kind of entanglement was completely against the rules. However, his complaints about the referee didn't work, and it made him slowly lose his mind a bit.

Hearing Durant's threat, Brother Alphabet's face did not change, and he responded indifferently: "You have said this sentence many times, but it has not been realized once." ”

The ridicule in the words made Durant immediately burst out.

Without any more communication, Durant's eyes were as low as stagnant water, and he began to act with the ball.

The same figure is like carved out of a mold.

The opposition of the two people immediately detonated the atmosphere of the scene again.

Fans chanted the name "Giannis" to show the momentum that the home stadium should have.

……

Durant's ball-handling breakaway is good, and his size allows him to break through the dribble by a lot of margin, making it difficult for opponents to defend.

If it is put on the defense of other players, Durant will definitely easily complete the breakthrough, or easily use the height advantage to shoot.

However, the opposite of Durant is the Greek letter brother who is not weaker than him in all aspects of physical condition.

This makes it difficult for him to attack easily.

However, at 1v1, the energy of the superstar burst cannot be underestimated.

Durant's continuous change of direction, because of the slow movement of the last foot, the defense fell short, and was broken into by Durant.

The fans at the scene immediately shouted excitedly, and a huge amount of pressure poured down, pouring towards Durant.

However, Durant did not pause or hesitate, he strode away, jumped high, and rushed to the basket without hesitation.

There was no doubt that it would be a good dunk.

Some fans couldn't bear to see the home team's basket smashed and closed their eyes.

However, the expected hoop wail did not materialize, and was replaced by a crisp sound of the palm touching the ball.

"God, what's going on? Norris blocked Kevin Durant's dunk frontally. ”

An exciting scene appeared, and a heat wave broke out at the scene.

Surprisingly, in this collision, Knoll actually knocked Durant to the ground.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "It seems that my understanding of Norris is still stuck in a few months ago, and he seems to be very strong now." ”

Just as Chu Xuan was talking to himself, Noel bent his arms and flexed his muscles vigorously, the high bulging showed the strength he had cultivated in the past few months.

This is Kevin Durant's best offensive point, and he was still caught by Norris Noll to defend it. I have to say that Kevin's situation today is really bad, he doesn't look like a supergiant at all, the Lakers have completely figured out his style of play, and his sports goals are still stuck at 0. ”

In the emotional voice of the commentator, Durant's shooting data also appeared very intuitively.

8 out of 0,0. (To be continued.) )
