Every NBA team has a lot of tactics, and the job of the head coach and coaching staff is to develop a suitable tactical system around the characteristics of the players, but why do some games seem to be chaotic?

Because of the limited ability of players, some players are not naturally suitable for complex tactics and run to cover themselves, while some players have extremely high tactical literacy and basketball IQ, such players are the coach's favorite.

Point guards Kidd, Nash, and Paul are players that many coaches in the league like at the moment, and with the right lineup, they can ensure the team's floor.

And Kings head coach Paul Westphal has spotted Harden's talent!

So he hopes to completely tap Harden's potential through two or three seasons, and the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics are specially formulated by the coaching staff for Harden.

The Kings' first offense, after Harden dribbled past half court, he played with Jason Thompson to block and pick-and-roll, and the Thunder's opening defensive strategy was to make substitutions after blocking and pick-and-roll.

If it's a block in the No. 5 position, then you need to squeeze through, after all, Kostic is slow-paced, and the small man is too disadvantaged.

After the disassembly, Jeff Green switched to Harden's side, and Li Ze always paid attention to the passing route, which made Harden unable to play the ball in the first place.

However, the Kings were very patient on offense, and Benno Udri and Harden also found big men to block and dismantle in a row, and they changed and changed, allowing Durant to defend Jason Thompson.

The latter faced Durant's defense, directly hit the back and ran it in, and used the weight advantage to run it in and put it to the basket.

Li Ze noticed that the opponent's offense was deliberately looking for Durant, and he felt a little bad in his heart, the Thunder's current defensive weakness was really in Durant.

Looking at the body shape, Durant is tall and has long arms, and he looks scary, in fact, Durant's defensive habits are not good at present, because he didn't have to defend when he was bad in the first two years, and he didn't have much targeted training at all.

Turtle Turtle didn't defend last year, but he was also a defensive guard when he was at UCLA, and after Li Ze joined the team this year, the defensive enthusiasm has also rebounded, and the team is actually doing the dirty work Jeff Green and Kostic...

"Kevin, pay attention to transposition, the other party will attack you!"

"Green, communicate more on the court, pay attention to remind Kevin, don't blindly cut the ball."

Li Ze took advantage of the serving effort to loudly remind his teammates that the Kings had studied them, and the coaching staff was indeed not dry.

When the ball was served to the turtle, he gave him a gesture by the way, which was a tacit understanding that the two developed in college, indicating that they wanted to increase the confrontation of the body.

After dribbling through the half, the turtle immediately played a hand-to-hand pass with Li Ze, Kostic came up to block the demolition, and Li Ze directly shook off Harden's entanglement with this cover.

Hawes didn't squat to defend either, and directly defended up, trying to pinch Li Ze with Harden.

Feeling the opponent's defensive intentions, Li Ze directly lowered his body's center of gravity, accelerated the breakthrough with his right hand dribble, and Hawes covered it to prevent Li Ze from having a chance to make a layup.

Jason Thompson saw Li Ze burst into the penalty area, and immediately wanted to help defend it, but as soon as his body center of gravity moved, Li Ze passed the ball directly to Jeff Green in the bottom corner.

After the latter received the ball, he made a jumper from beyond the three-point line.

"Huh...", the empty three-point shot is solid.

Benno Udri immediately came over and talked to Jason Thompson, and Big Brother was on hand to teach him defensive experience.

The Kings' offense is still trying to find Durant, but Jeff Green reacted quickly after being reminded, constantly beckoning teammates to change positions, and seeing that the tactics couldn't be played, Harden received the ball and reorganized.

After Hawes came up to block and dismantle, Li Ze squeezed directly through the cover and continued to wrap around Harden, who did not stick to the ball and passed the ball directly to Hawes at the free throw line, who received the ball and jumped directly.

"Whew...", a steady hit from mid-range.

The Kings played 22 seconds and were about to get there, but they finally found the weakness of Kostic's slow footwork and managed to score the ball.

This offensive style is completely opposite to the Thunder team, Li Ze knows that this is the game strategy formulated by the opposing coaching staff, and as the regular season progresses, the Thunder team will inevitably be constantly studied by various teams to find weaknesses.

But Li Ze doesn't care, after all, the Thunder team is actually playing talent basketball, and the defense is doing its best at the moment.

After Li Ze dribbled the ball past half court, he made a gesture to his teammates, Jeff Green mentioned the line, Li Ze quickly handed over the ball, and at the same time, Durant immediately came over to hand over the ball, and Jeff Green faked a cover and directly bounced out to open up space.

With this moment of cover, Durant accelerated directly with his left hand, and after dribbling two large steps, he ignored Andres Nocioni's defense and made a pull-up jump shot.

"Whew..."The 2-pointer was easily scored.

After the goal, Durant shook his head with a smile and trotted back all the way, as if to say that this kind of defense was of little use to him, but it was also true, and the Kings' forward athleticism was still a little lacking.

No matter how experienced the defense is, it is useless if the body can't keep up, and Andres Nocioni is in this embarrassing situation.

The Kings' offense is still unhurried, Benno Udri and Harden are masters of the rhythm, the offense is called a slow play, and it seems that it will be 24 seconds again, Benno Udri blocks and makes a mid-range jumper.

"Ahh Wow!! ”

The home fans immediately threw a huge cheer for the attacking round.

Turtle raised his hand to signal that the ball was his problem, and finally it was time, and his defense didn't keep up.

After playing these few rounds, Li Ze completely understood the intention of the Kings, if you can't outrun, I will grind you to death, as long as you can't score, I will grind the position when you come back.

Benno Udri and Harden are the two commanders who constantly find the Thunder's defensive weaknesses through pick-and-rolls, and finally complete the offense.

Li Ze looked at Coach Brooks, and then made a communication gesture, and when he saw the coach give him a thumbs up, Li Ze suddenly knew in his heart.

After passing the half, Li Ze began to loudly signal "No. 1!" Number 1! Then he made two gestures in a row.

As soon as the turtle saw the tactical gesture, he knew that this was going to break through the ball, hit the basket, and after receiving the ball with his hand, he accelerated directly and rushed to the opponent's penalty area in a few steps.

Facing Hawes's block, he directly carried the defense and scored the ball.

"Aha!"

The turtle roared angrily and showed off his muscles to the audience, which drew a chorus of boos.

This attack, after halftime, only took about 7 seconds to complete, and the turtle gave birth to Benno Yudri, who didn't need any cover at all, just relied on physical talent to crush you!

Although the two are about the same height, their explosive power is not comparable at all, and the turtle is like a small tank after accelerating.

Coach Paul Westphale was a little helpless when he saw this, Hawes's rim protection ability was average, and the Thunder also seized on this.

The next game scene was very interesting, when Durant and Turtle took turns to break through, at this time, Li Ze turned into an outside battery to open up space for his teammates.

Once the breakthrough fails, Li Ze begins to take over the ball, play blocking and dismantling offense, and feed his teammates, while Durant and Turtle will also cut in the air from time to time, playing Hawes and Jason Thompson's poor rim protection ability.

The Thunder's offense was very fast-paced, putting a lot of pressure on the Kings' interior line.

In turn, the Kings offense is the god of grinding positions and pressing the rhythm! Constantly attacking Kostic has a chance to find Durant's misalignment again.

However, Li Ze and Turtle Turtle frequently gave Harden and Benno Yudri physical confrontations, and these two also consumed a lot.

The first quarter went on quickly, and apart from a long timeout at six minutes, the game was very fluid, and the two sides were now completely deadlocked, with the score alternating leads.

Harden was choked enough by Li Ze's defense, Li Ze knew his technical moves too well, and didn't give him a chance to make fouls at all, and at the same time pinched his breakthrough route, and the bonus of the [ankle pad] badge made Li Ze rarely shake off his position.

But Harden can still score, this offense is going to be 24 seconds away, facing Li Ze's defense, after continuous crotch dribbling, he directly retreated for three points, faced Li Ze's defense, and made a jump shot.

"Hmph...", the whistle hits.

"Wow!!"

The enthusiasm of the home fans was also ignited by this three-point shot, and they erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

After scoring the goal, Harden pointed to the sky with both hands and celebrated with some excitement, the previous two 3-pointers were iron, and this time he finally scored.

"Beautiful step-back shot! Bro, you've been practicing this trick a lot! Li Ze said with a smile next to Harden.

"That's my signature move from now on, and I like the step-and-go jumper." Harden also said with a smug face.

Li Ze glanced at him with a strange expression, this guy won't turn into a magic ball again in the future...

The Thunder team's offense, after blocking and dismantling, Li Ze directly hit the ground and passed the ball to Kostic, who took advantage of the situation with a one-handed split.

"Bang..."Eat the cake easily.

Hawes's pace was already a little unable to keep up, and the continuous impact made him carry 2 fouls in the first quarter, and at the same time, his physical energy was also enough to choke.

With 2:36 left in the first quarter, coach Brooks called a timeout, and the game is now tied at 19-19, and the Thunder's bench lineup should be on.

Li Ze and Kostic were substituted, and Sofrosa and Nick Collison came on.

"Very good, Kayce, take a break and play aggressively in the second quarter!" Coach Brooks patted Li Ze on the shoulder affectionately, this kind of control of the game is something that the previous team lacked.

Li Ze didn't shoot in the first quarter, but he delivered 7 assists, no turnovers, and picked up 2 rebounds by the way, basically completing the task assigned by the coaching staff before the game.

Li Ze noticed that Harden was also replaced, and then thought about the current bench lineup of the Kings, and suddenly his heart blossomed:

"Withstanding the first quarter doesn't mean withstanding the second quarter, it's time to hit hard again!"

By the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 24, and it has to be said that the Kings did a very good job of controlling the mistakes, and the Thunder's transition offense disappeared in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Thunder had Li Ze and Soflosa in the backcourt, and Itang Thomas, Ibaka and Nick Collison on the front.

The Kings fielded Harden and Andres Nocioni in the backcourt, Kenny Thomas and Omi Cosby up front, and Dante Green at center.

The Kings put all the defensive fronts up, just to limit Li Ze, as long as they can strangle Li Ze, the offensive starting point, then the second lineup of the Thunder team is not much of a threat.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Li Ze noticed that the Kings were covering and changed the defense, which showed that the opponent believed in the defensive ability of his front.

Serge Ibaka came up and made a fake cover to switch Kasby to Li Ze, and after a cross-step dribble, he quickly pulled back, and Cosby's defensive center of gravity had been mobilized.

The right hand pretended to break through, shaking the opponent backwards, and at this moment, Li Ze quickly dribbled behind his back and stepped back to make a jumper.

"Whew..."The 3-pointer hollows into the net.

"Shhh

The crowd in the ACRO arena let out huge boos, they didn't like Li Ze's fancy goals.

Cosby was shaken into a stake, and could only watch Li Ze retreat and jump shot, and he couldn't help but have a big head when he thought that there might be such a situation in the future.

After the goal, Li Ze smiled and quickly retreated, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart:

"I like this kind of defense that is defensive but has no effect, and badge experience is definitely indispensable!"
