In Min Congda's eyes, there are three teams in the West that can form a situation of encirclement and suppression against the Clippers.

One is the Lakers, who have now been successfully cultivated by Min Congda into the most terrifying team in the West, and the combination of Kobe Bryant + Paul will be very powerful in the playoffs.

One is the Spurs, the Spurs have been solid, but unfortunately their draft plan was unintentionally sabotaged by Min Congda, and Popovich had to think of a new way.

He kept trying to contact the Clippers in exchange for Richard Jefferson plus a draft pick, but Min was rejected.

Although Richard Jefferson is at odds with the Spurs, he is quite suitable for the Clippers.

Can go fast, can cut in the air, and the defense is also okay, once you join the Clippers, the Clippers' outside firepower will add another fierce general!

What do you think? Don't dream, you won't give it.

Popovich vomited blood angrily, thinking that Jefferson is so suitable for the Clippers, don't you want it?

No way, Popovich knows that Leonard is the one who really has potential, but unfortunately, he was taken by the Clippers.

They won't let them go.

At present, the Spurs are fifth in the West, and the record is also good, and the gap from the previous one is not large.

Duncan has gone through the offseason break, lost weight, changed his style of play, and his form has improved a lot.

As long as Duncan is around, the Spurs will remain a powerhouse in the West.

The last one is, of course, the Thunder, who also got the blessing of Min Congda and sent Eric Gordon to them.

But for now, trading Gordon for Harden may not be a good idea.

Because Harden is growing up very quickly, the visible improvement feels better than Gordon's.

This is very troublesome for Min Congda, and Harden is healthy, and Gordon is prone to injuries.

But no matter which one Deng, the core of the Thunder is still Durant and Westbrook.

In the current league environment, the No. 3 position and the No. 1 position are all crucial to determine the position of the upper limit.

It's hard to produce a dominant player in the center position.

The fourth and fifth positions are gradually blurring.

And the glory of the No. 2 position is gradually dissipating as Kobe Bryant and other quarterbacks age.

The Thunder, with Westbrook at the No. 1 position and Durant at the No. 3 position, follow the trend of the times and have a high ceiling.

But no matter how Min Congda looks at this Westbrook, he thinks that this kid is more than brave, but he lacks wisdom, and he seems to have little tendons when he plays!

The No. 1 position is the position that most needs brains, and there are fewer tendons to play in this position, what should I do when it comes to the high-end game?

Chris Paul has only one and has already given it to the Lakers.

Thunder, what's the matter, can you help him open the light?

The ball was passed to Tyronn Lue, and I don't know how to describe it.

The game continued, and Harden continued to organize in the high post with the ball.

Harden suddenly made a high hanging through pass to the basket, and Gasol Jr. cut to catch the ball and made an easy layup!

This is a good pass, in terms of passing IQ, Durant and Westbrook combined are not as good as Harden.

Therefore, Harden stays in the Thunder, and Westbrook and Durant are definitely a good match.

However, Durant doesn't seem to admit it, and he wants to continue to show his passing ability.

Broke through to the basket with the ball on the left side, attracted the bag and then distributed the ball to Perkins who was following him.

Perkins catches the ball and dunks it with both hands!

Another chance to open the basket.

Although Durant's passing brain is straight, his offensive threat is really big.

This kind of super attacker gets to the basket, the bag allows him to pass, and directly lets him score, and these two bottles of poison must be drunk in one bottle.

The Clippers opened the game opting to let Durant pass the ball to his teammates.

Tyronn Lue believes that Durant can't be allowed to start out in shape.

It's better to let the rest of the Thunder score more points than to let the super attacker go in with full firepower.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight at the critical moment.

Whether Tyronn Lue's strategy is right or not is not said for the time being.

The Thunder's defense is also facing poison, and the Clippers have too many people who can attack with the ball.

And Curry, Harden, and Gasol Jr., the three points that can handle the ball, are very difficult to clamp.

The Thunder's bag is already very fierce and very oppressive, but Gasol Jr. still finds an opportunity in the high position.

While the Thunder defenders were focused on Curry and Harden in the running position, Randolph suddenly turned around and ran to the basket.

Gasol Jr. hoisted the ball to the inside, and Randolph received the ball and made an easy layup!

Just over 4 minutes into the opening game, the two sides have played 9:12, and the Thunder lead by 3 points.

Both sides played a high-quality offensive combination, so that the fans did not buy tickets in vain.

"Why is Thunder still in the bag, the bag is useless. Our Clippers are the team that is least afraid of being trapped, and the joint defense is better. However, if you want to defend together, you must pinch Curry. Hey, why doesn't Brooks understand? I really want to write him a little note. ”

Min Congda complained about Brooks in his heart.

Brooks thinks to himself, is the joint defense so easy to practice?

If you want to defend jointly, you can defend jointly, and if you don't defend well, it will collapse completely.

Because it requires too much tacit understanding between players, and it also requires players to be highly focused.

Once a mistake is made, it is a big mistake, it will give the opponent an absolute vacant chance, and the system will collapse.

And one-to-one, bag clamp or something, relatively simple, not easy to collapse.

The Thunder players are very good at each other, and it is obviously better to use one-on-one or pack-and-match defense.

Then, Randolph held the ball in the low post, turned his back to the basket, held the ball strongly, and hit the board with a hook hand.

And Durant wanted to try his touch, broke through the basket and threw but didn't score.

The difference has already been chased to one point.

The Clippers counterattacked, Curry held the ball to attract two people, and transferred the ball to Harden on the left side.

Harden received the ball and made a direct three-point shot and hit it!

Overtake!

At 14:12, the Clippers easily turned the game around.

Harden scored a three-pointer, and the Thunder called a timeout.

Coach Brooks demanded that Westbrook step up and score more.

During this time, the Thunder relied on Durant alone, and Westbrook's role was a little less.

So after the timeout, Westbrook began to increase his shots, and as soon as he came up, he held the ball and rushed to the basket.

An arrow step passed the defender, cut into the core of the Clippers' basket, and forced a layup!

Westbrook's layup was free of any bells and whistles, like a helicopter, past the defender and straight into the basket!

The first step of this explosion, as well as the swift movement during the layup, made the Clippers defenders not fully react.

The two sides re-equalized.

Then, Curry missed an outside jumper.

Westbrook got the backcourt rebound and pushed the counterattack.

A gear accelerates, rushes straight to the basket, and the dunk is successful!

The embarrassment of just passing the ball to Tyronn Lue is gone.

Westbrook took a bully stride to show his ferocity to the Los Angeles fans.

He also used to play in Los Angeles and was an excellent defender at UCLA.

"Westbrook is such an exciting player, haha."

Ballmer watched Westbrook's dunk and was emotional, obviously he liked Westbrook.

Min Congda nodded, but thought in his heart: "If the Thunder can change the direction of Westbrook's training, he and Durant can really combine their swords and pose a threat to the Clippers." ”

In Min's opinion, the Thunder did not have the instruction manual of Westbrook.

Some people died, but not completely......
