In the face of the Thunder's blocking and dismantling and covering tactics, Wang Feng couldn't think of a good way to deal with it for a while, he tried to directly bypass the blocking and dismantling to chase Durant, but in the case of being half a beat slower, Durant could rush into the basket first to create damage.

Although he is 2.11 meters tall, Durant's speed is not slow at all, not to mention that his speed and agility are above 85, which is enough with his long legs.

If you want to defend Durant as soon as possible after the pick-and-roll, you must have Curry to help make up for it.

However, once Curry makes up for the defense, it is almost impossible for Wang Feng to change back, because the Thunder players after blocking will cut to the basket as soon as possible, and if Wang Feng does not catch up immediately, Durant will immediately choose to pass.

In the open state, even the Thunder are not good at scoring point guard Andre. Robertson can also score the ball efficiently.

Relying on this move, the Thunder finally pulled back a game on their home court and chased the total score back to 2:1.

Durant finally overshot in this game, shooting 73% from the field on 14-of-19 shooting, while making 9-of-11 free throws to finish with 39 points and eight rebounds.

As if having found the answer to victory, in the fourth Western Conference final game that followed, the Thunder once again used a lot of pick-and-roll tactics to create a better scoring environment for Durant.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Warriors made adjustments immediately after the third loss.

In Game 4, the Warriors fielded a big man center in the main lineup to guard the basket.

The Warriors' main tactic is the high-mobility Death Five, and many times the tallest player on the court is Drummond. Green.

Traditional centers tend to start the first quarter with a jump ball, play a few minutes before being substituted, and play only a dozen minutes in most cases.

However, in Game 4, the Warriors kept the big center on the court for a long time to guard the basket and strengthen the interior rim protection, even if the Warriors sacrificed some mobility as a result.

It's very dangerous to give up what you do best and use a trick that you don't usually use against the Thunder, but the Warriors have done it surprisingly well!

Whether it is Durant who is misplaced after covering the block, or Westbrook and Robertson, the guards who cut down the air after the block, most of the offense has to be completed under the basket, especially Westbrook, the outside projection is extremely unstable, and the main means of scoring is to impact the basket.

When the Warriors had a big blue-collar center of 2.13 meters standing under the basket, the Thunder's pick-and-roll tactics were immediately dealt a heavy blow.

And the height of the blue-collar center also makes the Warriors better at rebounding protection.

As for the Warriors' offensive rhythm being affected after replacing with a big center, in fact, the impact is not very large, especially Wang Feng, who has focused all his energy on the defensive end in the first three games, has also invested in the offensive end.

……

"Wang Feng's tactical vision is actually so good?"

Looking at the court, the Warriors' side has completely taken the initiative in the game. Cole only felt incredible.

After the third quarter of the game, Kerr thought about what to do, but before he could think of a solution, Wang Feng took the initiative to find him and said his advice.

"Replace the small man lineup and replace it with a blue-collar center to strengthen the frame protection ability."

As a head coach, Cole certainly won't listen to Wang Feng's arrangement as a player, but Wang Feng's proposal opened Cole's vision and made him start to think in this way.

Wang Feng's suggestion was born from Kerr's own thinking when the 73-win Barnes version of the Warriors fell behind the Thunder 1:3 and fell into a desperate situation, so it is consistent with Kerr's thinking and views, and it can fit seamlessly.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Kerr chose to adopt Wang Feng's suggestion, so there was an early appearance of the blue-collar center today.

At this moment, Cole was very surprised.

If he still has superb tactical and strategic vision in the case of outstanding personal ability, then Wang Feng's future is absolutely limitless.

In this league, there are many players who play with their bodies, but very few players who play with their brains.

If Wang Feng has the potential to become a point forward like Green and serve as the starting point for the team's tactics, the Warriors will undoubtedly become stronger!

Green is strong, but his weaknesses are too obvious, and the deterrence from beyond the three-point line is so low that many clever tactics can't be realized.

"After the end of this season, no matter how high the offer of other teams for Wang Feng, we must find a way to keep Wang Feng! He definitely has that value! ”

……

"Brush!"

Three points hollow into the net!

Curry rushed into the basket with the help of a blue-collar center to block and cover, attracted the opponent to wrap the ball and passed the ball out of the line, and Wang Feng, who received the ball, made a quick three-point shot and successfully hit!

"Hoo ——!"

With a long breath, the corners of Wang Feng's mouth were slightly hooked.

"Sure enough, scoring is still more enjoyable than defending."

In the first three games, although Wang Feng kept an eye on Durant throughout the whole process and made great contributions to the Warriors, the whole game process was really aggrieved, and he was completely beaten by Durant.

Now in the fourth game, with the big blue-collar center protecting the frame on the inside, Wang Feng's pressure on the defensive end has been reduced a lot, and he has also put more experience into offensive scoring, and his mood is immediately happy.

Although Wang Feng is tall and long-armed, single-defense outside line, especially Durant, who relies on his arm span to defend and projection with excellent results, Durant who focuses most of his energy on offense does not pay much attention on the defensive end.

In addition, in the first three games, Wang Feng almost did not participate in the offense, which caused him a little illusion, and he was caught off guard, and Wang Feng scored 3 three-pointers on the outside, which made matters worse.

"Damn......"

A sense of powerlessness fills Durant's heart, he has the intention to kill thieves, and he has no power to return to the sky!

96:88！ The Warriors won a win at the Thunder's home court, rewriting the overall score to 3:1 and taking the first match point!

The game slowed down due to the Warriors' change of lineup, and it became the first game of the series in which neither team scored more than 100 points.

Without Wang Feng's stubborn play, Durant played steadily, shooting 10-of-19 and scoring 27 points on 52% shooting.

Once again, however, Westbrook pulled down.

Facing the Warriors' blue-collar center who protected the rim under the basket, Westbrook's lethality to the basket was greatly reduced, and the outside projection was never accurate, and it was another performance with a shooting rate of more than 30% and less than 20 points.

After four games, Westbrook only played normally once in the third game, using a lot of screens to block and cut into the basket, scoring 24 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, with a shooting rate of 47%, and the shooting rate in the other three games was only a little over 30, the performance was really disappointing, and it was completely unworthy of the honor of being selected as the best team this season.
