Chapter 464: My Players Need Me (Fourth Update)
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
A layman like Ballmer looked at the dunk and blushed with excitement.
And Min Congda has more to think about.
As a senior traitor, he can't think about strategic goals and directions for Thunder.
At present, the Thunder's cultivation direction for Durant and Westbrook is obviously problematic.
Durant wants to follow James's all-around route, so he's trying to develop his playmaking and passing skills.
Make yourself more all-round and want to be an all-round warrior.
After all, the best small forwards in history are the best of all-round fighters.
Not to mention James, there is also Larry Bird, who is also a super all-round warrior, proficient in passing, playmaking, rebounding, and has a high ball quotient.
and Scott Pippen, who has always been considered a classic small forward, is an all-round spokesperson.
The Bulls are weak on the inside, and half of the basket protection tasks are done by Pippen.
In attack, his passing and playmaking skills are even more talked about.
And if Durant wants to be the best small forward in history, can't you do it all?
However, in terms of team configuration and individual talent, Min Congda does not think that Durant should take the all-round route.
Durant should still play to his strengths and take the offense to the extreme, especially his shooting ability.
Pippen is all-rounder, but he also doesn't have as much offense as Durant.
On the basketball court, scoring ability is always the most valuable ability.
To give up this most valuable ability and develop something else is a kind of sacrificing the basics.
After all, your offense is strong, but not strong enough to ignore everything, and it's not too late to fight for that, and then develop something else.
Durant is still a little anxious.
Westbrook is currently positioned more like an assassin.
Under the guidance of Durant's omnipotence, make up for Durant's firepower.
Westbrook's assists per game average has dropped to six this season.
He also averaged 8.2 assists per game last season.
His scoring has gone up, and his playmaking and steals have declined.
Because Brooks needs him to score more.
However, this tall, physical point guard clearly has the potential to become an all-round fighter.
His bounce, reach, and shoulder height are all outstanding, and he has a good sense of rebounding.
Sometimes, in order to grab rebounds, I don't even care about the person I want to defend, and the ball is the most important thing.
Such a player, on the contrary, should be let him be an all-rounder, to organize more, to instigate more attacks.
Giving more finishing chances to Durant is the best match.
Anyway, Min Congda watched a few games of the Thunder, and he thinks so.
Maybe the Thunder has been staring at the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Durant has been staring at James.
After owning Irving, the Cavaliers are to let James continue to be an all-round warrior, and let Irving share the scoring pressure as a ball-handling scorer.
And the Cavaliers' system is actually contributed by Min Congda's advice, and the patience of a season finally waited for a champion show and won Irving.
"Brooks really doesn't have any strategic talent, the tactical level is very good, and he also has a hand in encouraging the development of players, but the strategic vision is not good!"
Coach Brooks, who was sitting on the bench, sneezed, this is fine, why is his nose still itchy.
In the first quarter, the two sides played inextricably, and Westbrook's quick breakthrough helped the Thunder regain the lead.
The intensity of the game between the two sides climbed quickly, and the Thunder's defense became more and more tough.
Harden tried to give Paul George, who came off the bench, a stewardess to play with as he pushed the counterattack.
The result was intercepted by Gordon's tough defense.
The ball is still under the control of the Clippers.
Falling into position, Curry bypassed Durant and landed to Randolph.
As a result, Ibaka violently grabbed the front and cut off the ball, and the Thunder counterattacked.
After Westbrook received the ball, he stepped forward, accelerated to the basket with a hook, and then went to the layup and put the ball in the basket!
And the Clippers' quick serve in the backcourt did not give Tyronn Lue a chance to call a timeout, and Curry held the ball and went straight to the frontcourt.
Single-block cover, then cover, continuous ball control to get rid of, 45 degrees on the right side of the direct three-point shot, hit!
The two sides are simply holding knives and guns, and it doesn't matter so much, let's cut and shoot at each other!
Whoever has a hard life will live to the end, and whoever instigates him may die first.
In the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 35:32, and the Thunder led the Clippers by 3 points.
Tonight is clearly going to be a big game.
After the start of the second quarter, Tyronn Lue did not choose to play on the Thunder with his defensive lineup.
Although Director Lu has no experience, he is not a fool.
In the last game against the Nuggets, you can play defense with the opponent with a defensive bench lineup, and if I don't score, you won't score, and slowly fill the hole.
Do you still want to use this one? The opponent is the Thunder, and the offensive firepower of the Thunder, you can't use a pure defensive lineup to fight against it.
That will definitely collapse.
Min Congda saw that Tyronn Lue used the lineup of Bonner, Randolph, Harden, Leonard and Fisher, and thought that Tyronn Lue still had something.
This lineup is very targeted, and it still features Harden Randolph as the offensive core.
Using Bonner instead of Milicic is to use Bonner's three-point range to force Perkins to rest at this point and go to Collisson.
As soon as Collison came up, the quality of the Thunder's interior defense immediately dropped a notch, and the protection of backcourt rebounds was not enough.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Bonner received Harden's pass and hit a three-point shot!
The two sides are back on the same starting line.
Brooks is also not in a position to have such a rich roster structure for the Clippers.
Perkins can only sit off the court, otherwise his defensive advantage will become a disadvantage.
Bonner will make three points, Randolph will be mid-range, Perkins will be pulled out for a walk, how can the defense be defended?
And the Thunder's bench offense is to fight for frontcourt rebounds.
Outside Daquan Cook misses a mid-range jumper.
Inside, Collison grabbed the rebound in the front court and distributed the ball to Mohammed.
Mohammed gets a one-handed dunk!
The Thunder regained the lead.
Fisher holds the ball through the half.
Harden catches the ball and passes it to Randolph in the low post.
Randolph chisels Collison hard and turns to shoot!
But when he turned, Randolph's elbow hit Collison in the face.
Collison fell to the ground "in pain" and the referee blew for a foul on Randolph and the ball was disallowed.
Randolph looked innocent and threw his hands at the referee.
"He acted, I just rubbed him a little? Is he made of cream? Fack! ”
Randolph was sure that he had only scratched a little skin, but Collison felt like a punch.
Of course, the referee would not change the decision, and even gave Randolph a technical foul because of his swearing.
Min Congda couldn't stand it anymore when he saw this, such a good opportunity can't be wasted!
He's going down, he's going to watch the game on the sidelines!
"I'm sorry two, I'm going to go down early, I want to go to the sidelines to watch the game."
"My players need me!"
Some people died, but not completely......
