"I think the best player on the Thunder is still Kevin Durant, and that doesn't mean anything disrespectful to Russell. He is a very good player www.biquge.info but Kevin Durant is a real supergiant. ”

In response to the dialogue between Kobe Bryant and Westbrook, as well as Westbrook's remarks that he wanted to become the best player in the league, Chu Xuan expressed his views unreservedly in an interview.

This is a bit surprising, because Chu Xuan and Westbrook are alumni of UCLA, and it stands to reason that he should support Westbrook.

However, now he praised Durant so much before the game and belittled Westbrook, which is undoubtedly intentional.

Barkley was the *** commentator who broadcast the game live, and he quickly expressed his opinion: "I think Chu Xuan is trying to provoke Russell and then split the second young. You know, Russell has been fantastic lately, and he's completely suppressed Kevin's individual performance. Kevin's state is not good, but he is the leader of the Thunder after all, and the current situation of Russell is likely to affect the relationship between the two, after all, Kevin is definitely not willing to be the green leaf next to Russell. Chu Xuan's current approach is tantamount to fanning the flames, if Er Shao loses contact on the court, then it will definitely be quite easy for the Lakers to win this game. ”

Because Durant, who was shrouded in scandals in the offseason, seems to really have some problems in his private life, and after the start of the new season, he is completely like lost and can't find the feeling of playing.

Now after 12 games, his personal performance is only 19.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists, and his shooting rate is only 42.5%.

This kind of performance is not at all like what a supergiant should have. Obviously, he needs to quickly come out of his loss and get back to strength.

As Barkley said, Durant doesn't look like a Thunder boss at all because of his sluggish performance. On the contrary, Westbrook is still improving, playing even better than last season, and has completely become the well-deserved boss of the Thunder.

In the last two weeks, there has been a lot of debate about who is the boss of the Thunder.

Three days ago, in a survey conducted by ESPN on its website, 45,000 people voted, and 77% of them supported Westbrook, believing that he was the boss of the Thunder.

Obviously, this situation shows that the Thunder really seem to be about to change.

Westbrook's progress is indeed extremely gratifying, but the situation on the Thunder's team is a concern for fans around the world.

Because, with Westbrook being so strong, it seems debatable whether the conflict between the two young people will break out.

Chu Xuan has considered this, and he feels that if Westbrook is better than Durant in personal performance and honors this season, then Durant will definitely leave. It is impossible for him to accept the identity change from the eldest to the second.

And the reason why Chu Xuan belittled Westbrook was precisely to create a contradiction between the two people.

When there is a huge crack in the relationship between the two people, then the two young people must go to one of them, and at that time, it is entirely possible for the Lakers to get the one who left.

Of course, this is just an assumption. Because Chu Xuan's philosophy is more inclined to cultivate players by himself, rather than poaching supergiants from other teams.

However, if there is a real chance to get a supergiant, he will never give up.

Facts have proved that Chu Xuan's remarks did have a very good effect, he stimulated Westbrook, this guy is obviously a little mentally unbalanced on the court, he and Durant almost don't call, and the two of them are completely in a situation where they are fighting on their own.

In the first quarter, Brooks' tactics were to use cover to increase outside projection, and Ibaka was more deployed to the high post for jump shots.

This arrangement is completely aimed at the Lakers' tactical habits, because when the three interior lines are on the court at the same time, the outside defense is undoubtedly much weaker, and the defense from medium and long range is also slightly lacking.

However, the Lakers did a good job defending today, and Kobe Bryant was completely bent on beating the Thunder and completing revenge.

In the first few minutes, the Lakers insisted on the twin towers attacking the interior, while the Thunder focused on Durant.

The growth of the Twin Towers has definitely put pressure on other teams, and both of them can do well on the offensive and defensive ends, and both have the ability to attack independently.

Like Noll, his offensive threat comes primarily from mid-to-long-range shooting and small hooks under the basket. Whiteside, on the other hand, relied on grabbing offensive rebounds for a second offense, or used his height and reach to make a tough scratch under the basket.

Whiteside doesn't have the same attacking means as Knoll but he has a pretty good sense of attack and is always able to take advantage of limited opportunities to score.

Ibaka and Adams couldn't defend the two at all, and Yi Jianlian pulled out the inside line and completely handed over the space to the twin towers.

In just three minutes, the two men dominated a 12-7 offensive wave that gave the Lakers the upper hand.

However, the Thunder immediately changed their style of play, and Westbrook began to attack the basket.

Although it didn't work well and was always interfered with or blocked by the three-in-one line, the ferocious impact took the pressure off the Thunder, and Durant began to take advantage of the opportunity to score consecutive points.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides were tied.

However, under Kobe's tandem offense, the Lakers immediately launched a strong counterattack, Noll and Yi Jianlian respectively hit long-distance shots, and Antetokounmpo even beat Durant and slipped the bottom line to complete a two-handed dunk, which detonated the atmosphere of the scene.

I have to say that Antetokounmpo played very smart and tough, and Durant was obviously a little surprised.

The Lakers' morale immediately soared, and just when the Thunder team fell into a trough, the Lakers played a wave of 10:2 climax and directly took a 10-point advantage to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Westbrook was clearly instructed by Brooks to cut back on his singles and constantly pass the ball to his teammates to shoot through breakaways.

However, the frequency of his passes leans more towards Jerry Milan than Kevin Durant.

"It's a good sign, this guy's personality is so different." Chu Xuan squinted his eyes slightly, his heart full of joy.

In fact, although Durant is very strong, without Westbrook's containment, his personal performance will definitely be greatly reduced.

What's more, because he is too tall, he is still slightly deficient in attacking with the ball. So, if Westbrook doesn't pass the ball to him, he's really weak.

In the second quarter, Westbrook was still the core of the court, and Durant was more of an outside scorer than the team boss.

As for Jerry Milan, he seems to be one of the two Thunder Young.

Lamb's individual shooting ability is very good, and he is very suitable to play next to Westbrook, which is why Westbrook prefers to pass the ball to him.

And today, he really felt good, hitting goals from beyond the three-point line one after another.

Relying on Lamb's outburst, the Thunder trailed the Lakers 62-70 and entered the second half of the game. (To be continued.) )
