Chapter 103: Arenas in Anger
There is too much garbage time, which is a bit boring for the commentator, and here in Sina Sports, Ke Xiaofan and Ma Jian began to talk about the future development of the Thunder team.
"Ma Gui, after losing this game, the Thunder are still the first in the league, but other teams have gradually discovered their weaknesses, how do you think the Thunder should adjust in the future?"
Ke Xiaofan looked at the situation on the field a little flat, and took the opportunity to throw out the topic.
"In fact, the current tactical play of the Thunder team is still too simple, and they are completely using their talent to play, of course, after all, this is Li Ze's rookie season, and the tacit understanding between the two sides needs to be strengthened."
"At present, if this lineup wants to be adjusted, it can only depend on the core players, and the talent on the inside is insufficient, but the core trio can continue to tap their potential."
Ma Jian has always felt that the Thunder's interior line is the weakest among the top few in the West.
"Many netizens said that the Thunder team doesn't score enough points, do you think there is a problem with the distribution of the Thunder team's ball now?"
Ke Xiaofan raised another hot topic.
"In fact, there is no problem with the distribution of the ball in the Thunder team, Li Ze is mainly responsible for the combing of the offense and the implementation of tactics, what he needs is for everyone to cooperate with him and play the tactics arranged by the coach."
"Durant and Westbrook need to take shots, especially Durant, who plays the role of finishing offense.
The ball is enough to score, but the three of them still play talented basketball, and I hope that the Thunder team can design a tactic that suits them later. ”
Ma Jian believes that Li Ze is the master key, and he can be seamlessly inserted into any team, but unfortunately the Thunder team is a small ball city, and it will be difficult for the team to strengthen in the future.
"I hope the Thunder team can continue to lead in the next game, back-to-back games away from home, one win and one loss, I believe the fans should still be satisfied with this result."
Ke Xiaofan very much hopes that the Thunder team can play directly in the playoffs this season, because the Nets are going to dive into the championship again, and it will be difficult for the UAE to play in the playoffs this season...
In the end, the fourth quarter of the game ended quickly, and in the Amway Arena, the audience shouted happily, and the Magic team defeated the Thunder team 110-96 at home, ending the Thunder's winning streak.
Win with a grin, lose MMP.
Howard had a good game, shooting 7-of-10 from the field and 2-of-6 from the free-throw line, and had a big double-double of 16 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks.
"Hey, Bro, you've been playing so well lately, really, you're going to get the Rookie of the Year, to hell with Barkley!"
Happy Beast exaggeratedly turned on the PY mode, hugging people when they see them, and boasting when they meet people.
"You know, I don't care about the stats, I'm a huge fan of yours, really, your dunk is so cool, it's like Superman!"
Although he lost, Li Ze's business blows to each other can't stop, everyone is a surface brother, and they are all tired of logging.
When Howard heard Li Ze's praise, he suddenly became even happier, and the two of them blew it off, making Carter on the side look stupid.
I don't know that these two people are talking about Jordan and Olajuwona, and they blow it too much.
Carter was relatively low-key, and simply encouraged Li Ze, and finally, in the atmosphere of hello, hello, everyone, the thunder everyone said goodbye and left.
In the locker room, although they lost, everyone was in a good mood, because they were going home soon, they could take a simple rest, and the day after tomorrow they will face the Washington Wizards at home.
"I can finally go back to Russia, I don't want to play back-to-back away games again, and the league should cancel that schedule."
Kameki was happy at the thought of being able to go home, and he missed his girlfriend.
"I'm going to blow them up next time, especially Howard, this guy has nothing to say after he loses, and after he wins, he pulls me around and talks a bunch of nonsense, Kayce, why are you having a good time talking to him?"
Durant feels uncomfortable when he loses, although he lost a lot last season, but he thinks that the Thunder have risen this season, and his mentality has naturally changed.
"Everyone is passable, in the future, the game will give you a few fewer black elbows, and you will make a lot of money if you platter a few feet, boast to satisfy his vanity, and you should prevent malicious fouls!"
On the surface, they respect each other, Li Ze doesn't care about what everyone will say behind their backs, Durant just cares too much about other people's remarks, and even if he is uncomfortable listening to the fans, he has to say a few words.
"Kayce is right, Kevin, they are all players in the league, and they still have to give face, you don't have to care too much about what others say!"
Jeff Green also persuaded two words, for fear that Durant would be angry and directly tweet to the line, so that both sides would not be able to save face.
"OK, I'll notice, I'm not that stupid!"
Durant agreed on the surface, but what he wanted in his heart was to go back and open the trumpet, open all the fire on the line, and spray the other party to death!
......
The Thunder's winning streak was ended, which is also a small hot topic, and TNT, which closely follows current events, will of course have to output a wave.
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were also commenting on the match after the game.
"Kenny, you have to admit that I was right, the Thunder's record will slowly slip, and this game is just the beginning!"
Barkley said with a smile on his face.
'It's just one game and they were in Miami yesterday so back-to-back away games definitely have an impact on them!'
Kenny Smith certainly wouldn't agree with Barkley, and the two had to fight for the sake of topicality.
"No, no, no, pay attention to the data, Durant has 20 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Russell has 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Kayce has 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, the three of them are still playing well, but the Thunder can't win!"
"Because their interior defense was terrible, Howard blew up their interior, and the Magic defense was very successful!"
Barkley said with a serious face.
"I agree with part of your point, our broadcast team cut a very interesting offensive round, pay attention, Durant is in the low post, Carter directly pushes him outside the three-point line!"
Kenny Smith narrates the clip in an exaggerated tone.
"Hahaha, if I had Durant's height, I swear, I'd just turn my back, run all the way to the basket, and dunk! You can't always float outside and shoot! ”
Barkley laughed and teased Durant, he knew that the other party would respond to him, and the effect of the show must be controlled!
The Thunder people who flew back to Russia overnight naturally wouldn't see TNT's program, and when Li Ze said goodbye to his teammates and drove all the way home, it was already late at night.
After a brief wash, by the way, he looked at the news on his mobile phone, and made sure that there was nothing important, Li Ze immediately collapsed on his big bed.
"The bed in the hotel is really not as comfortable as at home, I hope this game can also be rewarded!"
With such a thought, Li Ze slowly fell asleep.
Coming to the dream training space, Li Ze exhaled the holographic projection of the control panel, and saw a new prompt appear on the achievement room, and immediately couldn't wait to go in to check it.
Seeing the newly produced bronze achievement badge, Li Ze stepped forward and touched it to check the attributes.
Achievement Badge [Sticky Hands]: 4/50
Strengthens the ability to receive difficult passes and quickly place the ball on the floor.
“???”
Li Ze looked confused when he saw this attribute, what kind of strange badge is this, could it be caused by taking too many pots recently? It's basically useless!
"Forget it, it's better to have output than nothing, continue to practice back footsteps tonight..."After sighing, Li Ze began his routine training.
In the afternoon training session the next day, after completing the tactical drill, the Thunder team also began to chat when they rested.
"A friend told me that Arenas had some conflicts with the team, which is why the Wizards will play like this after the start of this season!"
Jeff Green gossiped about his gossip on his face.
"Come on, he's a superstar of the Wizards, and he's been in good shape lately, everyone is playing around him, what contradiction can there be?"
Turtle Turtle basically doesn't pay attention to gossip among players, and doesn't believe that a recovering superstar can have a conflict with the team.
"Maybe it's provoked, but the injured star players can easily go downhill, and Arenas is in a far worse state than in previous years!"
Li Ze still likes Arenas' style of play, but injuries can sometimes ruin a player, and now Arenas is obviously a little outdated...
"Fack, I just found out that Barkley hacked me last night, or did Ibaka care about me, didn't you all notice TNT's show?"
Durant suddenly interjected at this time.
"Kevin, don't care what they say, it's all, what they want is the effect of the show!"
Jeff Green began to persuade Durant to come, and everyone comforted him when they saw the situation.
Li Ze had a strange face at this time, and he always felt that Ibaka was wilted, and he was definitely not as honest and honest as he seemed on the surface...
On the evening of November 20, the Ford Center Arena was still packed, and the fans in Russia were even more enthusiastic.
Although they lost one game, they are still the first in the league, not to mention, they haven't lost at home since the start of the game!
However, there was something wrong with the Thunder team before the game, Nick Collison was uncomfortable in his lower back, and this game was estimated to be unplayable, which made the already anxious interior even worse.
In the pre-game locker room, head coach Brooks was explaining his new tactics.
"Kayce, after getting the ball in the low post, pay attention to the offensive space on the field, if the opponent's help is in place, don't force the attack,
Kevin, Russell, you two are always in for answers, keep moving, and the others take cover. ”
This is a new tactic practiced by the Thunder in the past two days, and the bankrupt version of the triangle offense was given to the starting lineup by Coach Brooks.
Originally, I wanted Durant to be the starting point of the core, but after a round of training, the low-post Durant did not have as many offensive means as Li Ze.
In addition, in the face of the ball after the pinch, Durant also has problems, and the first core becomes Li Ze.
This bankrupt version of the triangle offense is mainly to strengthen the bond between teammates, after all, Jeff Green and Kostic can't just be tools, and eating too much bread is easy to indigestion...
Turtle Turtle watched Coach Brooks draw on the tactical board, and suddenly felt a little confused, he didn't understand it during the two days of training, and it was not good for him to ask directly at this time.
"Okay, that's it for now, the defensive end should also pay attention to protect the rebounding ball, keep the echo, come on, boys!"
Li Ze saw the turtle that was a little confused, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered:
"Don't think about it so much, even when I'm playing in the low post, you have to keep moving, use more cover, and just play a few rounds!"
When the turtle turtle heard Li Ze's words, he was immediately relieved, after all, the two played together in college, and there was still a tacit understanding about this.
"Coach Brooks drew a bunch of them, but I didn't know much about them, but thankfully you, Kayce!"
Li Ze looked like a big guy and patted the turtle on the shoulder, but he secretly thought in his heart:
"The bankrupt version of Jordan uses the bankrupt version of the tactics, this effect is worth looking forward to!"
