Chapter 130 vs. Thunder

No one can keep the hot hand for the whole game, especially for players who have been floating on the perimeter to shoot.

Timberwolves head coach Frank adopted a strategy of defending and not shooting, surrounding his own restricted area, not leaking a gap, and not giving Westbrook and James Harden a chance to break through the ball.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are strong, but they don't have a great tactical system, and they have made them skyrocketing this season, but they are not deep in offensive and defensive tactics, relying on the star's own individual ability to gain an advantage for the team.

The head coach of the Thunder is Scott. Brooks, the head coach who turned into a player in his age, has an excellent way of cultivating disciples, this season is his second season in charge of the Thunder, and in terms of age, this head coach is really too young, only 44 years old in the general "old" aging head coach crowd, it is really conspicuous.

But luckily, Minnesota head coach Frank . Vogel is younger, and he's a little more topical.

Last season's Thunder didn't have a great record, with a poor 23-59 record, which allowed them to pick up the No. 3 pick in the summer, a record that doesn't affect people's intuitive evaluation of Brooks' coaching ability.

Especially the fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder, they are tolerant of the new teams born in their cities, how many teams are perennially at the bottom and have no hope of the playoffs. It's an exaggeration for a future superstar like Durant to break into the playoffs in three to four years, all they need to do is watch every game and cheer for the home team!

Sure enough, this season, the Russian City Thunder began a blowout explosion, if it weren't for the Timberwolves in the same division, the dark horse would be more complete. I'm afraid the Thunder will be the focus of the league's attention.

Thunder head coach Brooks has fully demonstrated his outstanding talent in coaching this season, leading the Thunder team to the playoffs, and has performed well against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns and other league giants.

The young head coach and a group of talented and energetic lads collided with the most brilliant sparks. This season, the Oklahoma City Thunder has completed an excellent transformation and is fully capable of competing for the playoffs in the highly competitive West.

These are also just the best things to say about Brooks' coaching ability!

But behind the glossy. As an opponent, what Frank sees is a clearer essence.

The Thunder's outside firepower is too ferocious, and the outside combination of Kevin Durant and Westbrook has become a beautiful landscape in the league, and this outside combination is becoming more and more the strongest vitality in the league.

Durant's shots can't be limited, once he is allowed to play, it is easy to get three or forty points of high scoring data, and his excellent physical condition allows him to calmly deal with most defenders in the league.

Brewer also played against Durant two years ago. It has a deep impact on this tall small forward, the height of the inside, the speed of the guard, and even more rare is that he can also have excellent offensive skills with the ball, which gives Durant more innate advantages in the way of scorers.

Last season, many highly professional experts analyzed and pointed out that Durant's confrontation ability was not strong and his anti-interference was poor. Defensively, they are often eaten by opponents.

In their opinion, Durant has excellent physical gifts though. But whether he can become the top scorer in the league, he still needs to strengthen the confrontation, and many of Durant's shots last season were not very well grasped, the shooting rate was not stable enough, and the inefficiency occupied a lot of opportunities for the team, which is one of the reasons why he was criticized.

But this season Durant is under the tutelage of Brooks. Apparently there has been a huge improvement, and his thick upper arm muscles show that he has not been less physically active in the summer. This season, Durant has completed the transformation of "tarantula" and is now not afraid of any physical confrontation. Not only that, Durant's mid-range shooting ability has evolved a lot, and the words stable and efficient have become one of his labels. He was impeccable in both his shooting action and shooting percentage. The advantage of height and reach allows him to easily score 30+ points with excellent shooting skills.

Westbrook is also a rising star on the Thunder's perimeter, and once the explosive boy sprints, there are very few people in the league who can stop him.

In addition, this year's rookie James Harden has gradually gained the trust of head coach Brooks, and the increase in playing time has allowed him to do more on the court, and he has now become a scoring point that cannot be ignored on the bench of the Thunder, and James Harden's gradual growth has made a perfect continuation of the Thunder's offense.

Tonight's chance of victory or defeat lies in the continuation of the Thunder's hand, as long as they show a slight cooling trend in the second half, it will be a good moment for them to fight back.

The game passed minute by minute, the battle situation was still anxious, Li Shihao controlled the rhythm, did not panic, they did not lag behind by many points, and the gap of two points was always able to counterattack and catch up.

Li Shihao, as the brains of the team's backcourt, all he has to do is to stabilize the situation, as long as he bites the score and waits until the Thunder team makes a mistake, he can completely launch a counterattack in the final quarter, lead a wave of offensive, and turn defeat into victory!

With 4 minutes and 56 seconds left before the end of the game, Durant's mid-range shot hit the iron and popped out of the frame, and the rebound was blocked by Kevin Love under the basket, which was his 20th rebound of the game.

In this game, he has turned into a rebounding monster, compared to him, Congo center Ibaka's 5 rebounds are simply shabby.

Lefu shouted, his thick arms flicked violently, and the orange elf in his hand cut an arc in the air, quickly flying over the battlefield.

Li Shihao, who had just sprinted past the half, seemed to have a heart in his heart, and leaned back with his right hand to steadily catch Lefu's long pass across the half court behind him.

At this time, there was no one under the basket, Li Shihao rushed directly into the restricted area, and the whole person flew up, his right arm was picked up like a full moon, carrying a fierce wind, and at the moment when the body began to fall, he slammed into the buckle, and the momentum was amazing.

Seeing this scene, many media reporters now pick up the cameras in their hands and flash non-stop, for fear of missing Fang Cai's wonderful shots.

The news value of the Chinese kid is not low, in New York, in San Francisco, in Los Angeles, there are a large number of Chinese fan groups, especially in New York, this kid is not low, in many Knicks fans want their Bruce Lee to come to the Big Apple to play.

"Just like he fought for Syracuse! New York fans love him! Spike Lee, the famous director among New York fans, once said so. (To be continued.) )
