Chapter 151: How to Defend
The game went into a pause.
And at the forum, the fans of both sides quarreled again.
The reason is very simple, Wang Shuang waved his big elbow again.
The Lakers have the most fans though.
But the number of Thunder fans is also high.
Moreover, the Lakers killed the Rockets in the last game.
Plus Harden would have been a player for the Thunder.
The three young fans are combined, and the sky and earth echo each other.
And Lakers fans started a war of words.
"Wang Shuang really inherited Kobe's mantle, elbowing out of the sky."
"Wang Shuang didn't play like this at the beginning, why has it become so disgusting now?"
"Don't look at who their team is the boss of the team, love me don't elbow."
"Can Wang Shuang be blamed for this? It was Westbrook himself who put his face together. ”
"Not to mention, watching the replay, it was really Westbrook who made it up himself. If Wang Shuang wanted to elbow him, he would have gone up all at once. ”
"I think this Thunder will give the Lakers a game, anyway, the Clippers next door are going to lose, and the Thunder are determined to be third. Why don't you let the Lakers enter the playoffs and fight the Warriors eighth, maybe kill the Warriors? ”
In the midst of a quarrel.
There was a fan who spotted a blind spot.
Indeed, the Thunder don't have to win.
As long as the Clippers lose, they lock up third.
Then send the Lakers to the eighth sniper Warriors.
History is not without such successful precedents.
For example, in 07, the Mavericks were blackened by the Warriors.
Indirectly, the Spurs have no opponents in the West.
Lost the biggest nemesis.
Of course, in the 11th year, it was the turn of the Spurs to be blackened.
This time, the Mavericks took advantage and won the championship all the way.
The two teams have fulfilled each other.
Counting further, the first black eight in NBA history.
In 1994 the supersonic was taken out.
As a result, the rocket has no nemesis.
So he won the championship.
A team can go to the championship.
Strength is the main thing, but luck is also important.
The defending champion Warriors are the undisputed hegemon.
But the Thunder is not weak in strength.
They also have a chance to win the title.
If you can put a little bit of a hindrance for the Warrior before you encounter it.
It's a good idea.
At the timeout, Donovan didn't make any special arrangements.
Just remind Westbrook to be aware of his emotions.
"It's the last game of the season, so you have to pay attention to your health and don't get hurt."
The Thunder players were still a little confused when they heard this.
Before the game, he also said that he would play hard and play the closing game.
Why did it suddenly become a matter of paying attention to your health?
The players returned to the pitch and the game continued.
Donovan sat down and said to the assistant coach, "Let me know as soon as the Clippers game gets out." ”
The assistant coach nodded, turned on the tablet and watched the Clippers play.
At this point, the Lakers still held the lead.
The referee after watching the video replay.
Gave Wang Shuang and Westbrook a technical foul.
The ball was given to the Lakers.
Bryant continued to play his point guard role.
Holding the ball in a high position, virtual and real.
The defender doesn't know if he's going to throw or pass.
As a result, Kobe Bryant suddenly hit the basket.
A toss with the right hand hits the board.
The Thunder's defense of Kobe Bryant was obviously not targeted enough.
But the Thunder's hard power is above the Lakers after all.
This hard power is reflected in the individual abilities of the players.
Westbrook and Durant.
The Lakers' side can't be prevented one-on-one no matter what.
Kobe Bryant defended Westbrook and was passed in one step.
He hit the three-second zone and gave the ball to Durant.
There was a big empty spot in front of Durant.
But Durant didn't shoot, and he knew he didn't feel good.
And -- >>

It is to hold the ball and continue to rush to the basket.
Hibbert could only defend himself.
Durant then passes to Adams.
A big open space for an easy dunk.
In the NBA.
It's not easy to run out of space through tactics or coordination.
Most of the time, it gives the star a chance to play singles.
Or give players more room to shoot.
It's already a tactical success.
And the Thunder side played the easy ball with big empty positions one after another.
It's not how clever their tactics are.
It's that Shuangshao's personal ability is really strong.
Then, the Lakers missed the offense.
The Thunder counterattacked, and Westbrook held the ball in the middle to make a basket.
Tony Allen and Kobe Bryant couldn't keep up.
One acceleration is passed, and an easy layup is made.
The Thunder scored back-to-back points.
The Lakers want to press the same tempo as they did when they played the Rockets.
But the impact of the Thunder is much stronger than that of the Rockets.
Kobe Bryant slowed down and handed over the ball to Wang Shuang in the middle of the half.
The strategy of the high position should be given to Hibbert.
Hibbert had no faith in fighting Adams.
Passed back to Wang Shuang, who faced Durant's defense.
A shooting feint picks him up.
Then take a step inside and move to the basket with rather clumsy steps.
Ibaka has already made up for it.
Wang Shuang did not pass the ball, but held up Ibaka.
Hold him down with his left hand, and throw him forward with his right hand!
It's ugly enough.
But Ibaka was held down and couldn't be blocked.
At the same time, Wang Shuang has the blessing of wrist guards.
It felt good to shoot and was not affected by strong confrontations.
The ball spun around the basket twice and went in!
After the goal, Wang Shuangchang breathed a long sigh of relief.
I thought that although the action was ugly, I had finally entered.
In the future, I will have to practice more dribbling breakthroughs.
In the case of low confrontation.
Every player who can make it to the NBA, including the big center.
They are all masters of breaking through dribbling, and they are all masters on the street.
The key is that under strong confrontation and defense, it becomes very difficult to dribble and shoot.
[Singles King's Top Bracers] solves this weakness of Wang Shuang to a certain extent.
Let him make his shots in confrontational situations more confident.
As for whether it looks good or not, it is not in his consideration.
The Lakers relied on the excellent play of Kobe Bryant and Wang Shuang in the first quarter.
still suppressed the Thunder's offense, and ended with a 27-23, four-point lead.
On the Thunder's side, Durant hasn't opened yet.
In the case of three attempts in the opening game and did not score.
He gave up the strong pitch and turned to organizing.
However, Durant's so-called organization is mainly based on the distribution of the ball under his strong offensive power.
His passing skills are really good.
Westbrook is as fierce as ever and has a strong impact.
This makes the Lakers' cumbersome interior defense quite difficult.
Hibbert and Randolph simply couldn't keep up with Westbrook.
The second quarter started and entered the second lineup.
At this time, the Lakers began their "variable speed run" strategy again.
In the first quarter, play slowly, play position.
Once in the second lineup, the offense starts running.
It's a pity that the Thunder are not Rockets, and the Thunder's defense is very solid.
Timely complement defense, and long-arm perimeter defenders.
Let Nick Young and others' three-point shooting accuracy not work at all.
On the contrary, on the Thunder's side, the bench lineup played very well.
scored back-to-back points, and finally when Singler hit a three-pointer.
The Thunder managed to overtake the score.
At 31:32, the Thunder overtook by 1 point.
Scott called a timeout.
He said something very heartfelt to the Lakers players: "Singler can score three points on your heads, how do you defend?" ”
