Build a Dream Dynasty

After Durant succeeded in attacking, the Nets quickly passed the ball from the baseline. Except for Curry who was behind in possession of the ball, several other players quickly penetrated into the Thunder's half court like a tide. The speed of penetration made the Thunder The players who returned to defense were dwarfed by comparison, and the ball flew out quickly before Curry passed halftime.

Although Curry is good at personal offense, he averaged 8.2 assists in 35.4 minutes of playing time per game. The ball was delivered to him immediately. The latter took two light steps and threw the ball high before Perkins defended.

The most enviable thing about the Nets is his many scorers. There are more people in the league who dare to say that they play, and only the Nuggets are there.

Almost in the same position, in the same way, Durant almost completely copied the goal just now. Even Leonard and Green can't contain Durant in death mode, unless you can actually block the shot, otherwise his shot will always hit.

Going back to the defensive end, it was still Westbrook that caused the Thunder to lose points. Using Westbrook's defense without the ball is easy to get distracted, and the pick-and-roll defense is easy to keep up with the ball-handler. Stevens has made a fuss these two days. An effective way to deal with the Thunder was developed. In the second half, this tactical arrangement continued to work. This time it was Fernandez who scored. Using the running position and Green's cover, Fernandez ran out of the bottom corner for an open three-pointer. He scored his 16th point in the game, and it was his outstanding performance that gave Curry enough support, so that the Nets could firmly hold on to the point difference and prevent the Thunder from overwhelming the game.

The pressing of the Nets put enough pressure on the Thunder. Durant rarely came out to pick and roll for Westbrook. The pick-and-roll cooperation between Wang Zha gave Westbrook a chance to single out Leonard on the outside , Leonard can defend against a heavy small forward or a not-so-agile wing, but it is really difficult for him to face an explosive point guard like Westbrook. Even last season, the Nets It was George who did the job. Westbrook, who came to open up the breakthrough space, succeeded in breaking Leonard, and then faced Green's supplementary defense and scored 2+1. That is to say, since the third quarter, although the Nets have played lively, but in the In front of the explosive performance of the Thunder's king bomb combination, it has almost no effect. For the players of the Nets, this is a kind of mental oppression. The Thunder also took advantage of the victory to pursue and formed a 7:2 attack wave, widening the point difference to 14 points.

At this time, the importance of West can be reflected. Although this veteran's scoring average has dropped to 13 points per game this season, he is stronger than the team's center Lopez in terms of stability in tough battles. of. Green, who replaced him, is good at conducting the ball and has good defensive ability, but he doesn't have the ability to play hard as an insider, and his mid-range shooting is dependent on the sky. Although he is very suitable for Curry, he doesn't have West's influence on the ball. Team tactical variability. Leonard was completely suppressed by Durant again. Curry and Fernandez are really not easy to play against the Thunder.

Stevens called a timeout helplessly, feeling extremely disappointed, which actually calmed his head down. Against this talented team, many balls cannot be guessed by common sense. It is normal for morale to be hit by forcing it in. But this team is not invincible. Head-to-head is not enough, then dodge and fight. In the finals of last season, Spoelstra used a small lineup tactic to fully exploit Perkins' undefendable attributes. With more and higher-quality shooters, there is no reason for Stevens not to use this tactic. . Leonard and Green are off the court, Korver and Ray Allen are on the court, and the Nets have changed to one big and four small, putting the team's most threatening outside players on the court, aiming at the Thunder's two insiders, Perkins and Ibaka.

No more defense, no more rebounding. Losing the bet is nothing more than a worse loss in the game. Winning the bet, as Stevens, who regards the Thunder as an imaginary enemy in the future, can be regarded as grasping the lifeblood of this Thunder!

Sure enough, in the early days of the Nets offering this lineup, the Thunder showed obvious incompatibility. Perkins and Ibaka did have the problem of not being able to fit in the spot. Wide open, allowing the Nets to ravage players who complete their penetration or cut.

The Nets responded to the Thunder with an 8:2, narrowing the point difference to 8 points in one go. Then, Brooks couldn't sit still and called a timeout.

"Beautiful!" Jiang Mingliang applauded loudly from the sidelines. If he saw the Nets' desire to win the previous time, then he forced the Thunder to take the initiative to call a timeout, because he saw tactics. Adams' ingenious fall made the Thunder uncomfortable.

Brooks was obviously in trouble at the moment. Compared with other strong teams, the Thunder looks good inside, especially on the defensive end. But after careful observation, it is not difficult to find that Ibaka is good at assisting defense, but if you let him top the inside, he is not very strong, and the value of the existence of a pillar center like Parkinson is to top the inside. The characteristics of the two Complementary, but not omnipotent. Can't support the tactics of 1 big and 4 small.

If Perkins is replaced, Lopez will definitely attack Ibaka in the Nets' lineup left on the court. And if Ibaka is replaced, then the Nets can easily find mid-range shooting opportunities for Curry and Ray Allen with a pick-and-roll, which is unbearable for the Thunder.

In the finals of last season, the Thunder did not choose a big and a small team to deal with the Heat, and they also have a clear understanding of this.

At this time, as the head coach, although Brooks was good at cultivating new players, his flaws in on-the-spot command began to be exposed. With Westbrook and Durant in his hands, Stevens chose to remain unchanged. No matter how accurate the Nets' outside line is, as long as the Thunder has Durant, Westbrook can score points steadily. , they can still dominate the game.

"I personally guess that it would be better for the Thunder to replace Ibaka with Simmons and push Durant to the power forward position." Regardless of whether he understood or not, Jiang Mingliang said to Taylor Swift beside him.

Durant's height, core strength, and short-term guest power forward are actually not too many problems. With his stature, he does not have much pressure to undertake part of Ibaka's defense work. Simmons' excellent physical fitness on the outside wing is a considerable pressure on the Nets' outside wing group. It's a pity that a layman like Jiang Mingliang is more determined than Brooks.

And Brooks was soon punished for his stubbornness. The appearance of Korver and Ray Allen really changed the situation of the game. Stevens also told Brooks that three points are always one point more than two points.
