Chapter 124 I'm Not Joking
The game entered a timeout, and Durant walked towards the bench talking and laughing, looking excited.
While Su Yang was happy, he raised his hand to loosen his tie, and let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that it was not easy.
Nearly 9 minutes into the game, the Thunder led the championship Lakers 34 to 25, which shows that the construction of the Thunder's offensive and defensive system has achieved initial results. Several young people in the Thunder performed well as expected, especially Westbrook's 4 points and 1 assist just now.
The transformation plan for Westbrook can be regarded as a great success. It not only retains Westbrook's momentum, but also allows Westbrook to learn rationality.
With such a result, it was not in vain to let Westbrook play freely in a large number of games last season, so that he was almost fired.
In addition to the offensive and defensive system and player technical characteristics, another important change is the team's cultural construction.
He insisted on emphasizing the sharing of the ball, and also insisted on emphasizing the importance of running without the ball, which can be regarded as initial feedback.
Before Durant pretended to use the screen to pick up the ball, and Ibaka passed the top of the arc and pretended to be a screen. There will be no display on the statistics column of the two, but it really helped Westbrook to draw space. It's hard for young teams to do that.
For example, the Eagles, Timberwolves, Celtics, and Pelicans in the [-]s were either fighting for the ball or fighting for the right to speak.
Of course, several successes are based on the construction of the tactical system. It is neither blindly complicated like PJ Carlesimo, which makes Durant run dizzy, nor blindly pursues simplicity, which makes Durant always hang on. Take off and shoot.
He doesn't dare claim to be full of credit, but he is confident that he can take the lead, after all, he controls the core direction of offensive and defensive tactics.
While thinking, Durant and others arrived at the bench, Su Yang put away his thoughts and began to summarize and analyze.
In a few words, it is mainly to praise the team for their good cooperation, successfully catching the Lakers' iron strikes and mistakes, and launching counterattacks many times.
Su Yang especially praised Harden, pointing out that after Harden played, the team has more passers, faster offensive and defensive transitions, and greater threats from the outside line, making it difficult for the Lakers to shrink the pinch, indirectly helping Westbrook score 4 points in a row, encouraging Ha Don keep going.
Harden pretended to be calm at first, but the more he listened, the more he couldn't help it, and finally he laughed happily, like a fool.
After finishing the summary, assistant coach Brian reminded that the Lakers replaced Odom and Shannon Brown, and replaced Bynum and Fisher.
Su Yang nodded, turned around and waved at Jeff Green, arranging for Green to come on stage to replace Ibaka.
In his view, the Lakers obviously want to strengthen their offense. Odom is faster, and it would be better for Green to chase and defend.
Even if he falls into position, Green can handle Odom, and he can take advantage of Odom's shortcoming of attention on the offensive end.
As for Shannon Brown, the Lakers are probably using it to guard Harden, while Kobe will probably guard Westbrook or take the initiative to switch to guard Durant. The two are definitely not allowed to continue to score points so recklessly. After all, it is the night of the championship ring ceremony.
"After the timeout is over, we will attack more around Jeff, and Odom on the opposite side is easily distracted..."
Su Yang explained two more offensive and defensive points. Hearing the sound of the end of the timeout, he waved his hand to signal the players to come on stage.
Amid the cheers, the Lakers kicked off from the bottom line, and Shannon Brown quickly took it across the center line and passed it to Odom.
Odom entangled with Green for a while, then threw the ball to Gasol at 45 degrees on the right, and then strode towards the top of the arc.
At the same time, Brown ran to Odom, used his cover to sneak up to Gasol, took over the pass, and went to the sideline to drive.
According to the side lane established before the game, Jordan did not hesitate to switch defenses and delay, while Westbrook squeezed through the wall to catch up.
In a hurry, Brown was flanked back and forth, and hurriedly stopped and passed the ball.
Gasol catches the ball and throws a shot in the face of Jordan.
when!The basketball hit the basket and rebounded, and Artest kicked off the ground and took off to make a tip.
when!Tip-ups also strike iron.
The basketball was dialed to the outside, Durant vacated and held it in his hand, landed and pushed forward quickly, and the Thunder launched a fast break.
The Lakers' defensive formation became chaotic, and Kobe followed Durant to the three-point line on the right side of the front court, and got close to him.
Su Yang glanced at the half-court position and found that the Lakers had space under the basket, and shouted to remind them to play a "two-man ladder screen" tactic.
Durant seemed to think of getting together, stopped suddenly, turned around and threw the ball to Westbrook who was following up, and formed a double ladder screen with Green, and Westbrook took the ball and broke to the left, easily away from Kobe, and quickly earned elbow area.
Artest wanted to switch defenses, but was delayed by the Green Wall, while Odom hesitated between defending the cut and throwing the shot.
Westbrook rose up decisively, raised his hand and scored two long points, and the basketball went into the net hollowly, 36 to 25.
"Okay!" Su Yang cheered loudly, hoping that the Thunder generals could feel his support at all times.
As soon as the words fell, the referee blew his whistle and called Jordan for a foul, and the Thunder had committed five ordinary fouls and needed free throws.
Su Yang was stunned, and looked up at the large central screen. It turned out that it was Jordan who made a shoulder-shoulder movement.
Strictly speaking, the referee should not whistle, probably because the Lakers are 11 points behind and must control the rhythm.
Taking advantage of setting free throws, Su Yang called Westbrook to the sidelines and briefly explained how to deal with Kobe's defense.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Gasol stood on the free throw line and hit the front of the basket with his first shot.
The second free throw went into the net, and the Lakers finally broke through and scored 26-36.
The offense and defense switched twice, and the Lakers fans on the scene followed the DJ rhythm and yelled at the enemy fans in unison.
Westbrook took the ball and ran to the right side of the frontcourt at 45 degrees, facing Kobe's defense, his eyes signaled for a cover.
Green stepped forward almost at the same time, erecting a human wall to block Kobe, without any stagnation in the whole process.Westbrook took the opportunity to break through on the right without slowing down at all, while Kobe bypassed the screen to intercept, and it seemed that Westbrook's three-point shooting rate was low
Seeing this, Green immediately disassembled the outer shell, then received a pass from Westbrook, and took advantage of the opportunity to raise his head and aim at the basket.
Odom rushed out in a hurry, but he didn't control his center of gravity. Green immediately gave up his shot and made a breakthrough with the ball, and made an emergency stop at the waist for a jumper.
bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.
The two teams switched offense and defense, Kobe quickly ran to the left waist of the frontcourt, stuck Harden with his back, and the rest of the Lakers scattered.
That action was clearly intended for singles.
Odom dribbled the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, dropped both hands to Kobe, strode into the paint and ran to the right.
"Two-team!" Seeing Kobe's slightly angry expression, Su Yang knew that Kobe was a bit superior and probably couldn't pass the ball.
Westbrook hurriedly shrunk to the waist, completely emptying Shannon Brown at the top of the arc, but Kobe did not pass the ball.
After a long confrontation, Kobe turned to face the frame, his center of gravity was extremely low, his left foot was the axis, and he continued to shake his shoulders to test.
Harden just didn't jump, relying on Westbrook's help to interfere, he just blocked Kobe's breakthrough space.
There were only 7 seconds left in the blink of an eye on the attack time. Kobe crossed the ball, dribbled twice, stopped half-turned and shook continuously, and then used the fake move of raising his hand and head to try to fly Harden, completely ignoring the bow outside the three-point line Brown ready to catch the ball.
But Harden carried out the non-jumping to the end, and when there were three seconds left in the offensive clock, Kobe made a difficult backward shot.
The movements were picturesque, and even the clang of iron strikes was crisp and sweet, making Su Yang laugh out loud as a half-Komi.
Amidst the sighs of the audience, Jordan jumped high and caught the rebound, Westbrook turned around with the ball, and the Thunder made a fast break again.
On the Lakers side, Odom, Brown, and Artest retreated faster, guarding the left and right sides of the free throw line.
Kobe and Gasol chased after them, focusing on Westbrook who was advancing with the ball in the middle.
Green on the left sideline, and Harden on the right sideline, the Lakers are temporarily unmarked.
Seeing this, Su Yang yelled to copy the back door, Green heard the sound and went straight to the basket, and Westbrook passed the ball long at the same time.
In the surprised eyes of the audience, Green took a few steps into the air, caught the ball with one hand, and smashed the buckle.
The basketball hit the net, and the Thunder led the Lakers 40 to 26. Su Yang led the bench and cheered.
The pause whistle sounded again, and Phil Jackson got up in a hurry, his face was full of displeasure, this time he was really in a hurry.
In the ESPN commentary booth, Van Gundy laughed and said: "It seems that Su Yang is not talking out loud. He is serious about winning the championship, at least he is not joking..."
