At the end of the first half, thunder played very passively.

Sikam constantly impact the thunder inside the line, when Adams was small Gasol, the thunder forbidden area defense appears to be some insufficient. Robertson will not suffer too much in the face of the vast majority of No. 4 positions, but he is still unable to cope with the sudden shooting, height and arm exhibition of the players like ziakam. Although Donovan in time to Gallinari and Robertson adjusted the position, but the effect is worse. So Donovan had to use the "wrap around" strategy to limit siacam.

But this guy is not easy to hold down. He not only has a strong ability to break through, but also has an outstanding long-range shot ability and a good pass. In addition, Lori and van Flett in the outside line, thunder defense effect is not ideal. Fortunately, there is another grant who can relieve the pressure on the field, but he has been playing for a long time. Donovan is not d'antony, he will thunder's players play time is very suitable.

This is not the thing that annoys Donovan the most. What annoys him the most is that Robertson, who defends well, once again becomes a liability to the team in the offensive round. He did make his due contribution on the defensive side and didn't let sICAM take off completely, but on the offensive side, he was more at a loss than before he was injured. It feels like he's been chasing green in these two seasons, even worse than each other. COSCO's ability to throw is not to say, and the cooperation with Westbrook and others is also a little awkward. Of course, because of injury, Robertson has been absent for too long and hasn't recovered to his best. But the opponents on the field can not let go of such obvious shortcomings, they directly in the defense will Robertson empty, concentrate the defensive strength to deal with ANLO and Gallinari.

In this way, thunder's attack has also been greatly affected. Although ANLO is still able to help the team score, but every time he hits the ball into the round, he consumes a lot of physical strength. Although I can't see how much impact, but for the whole game, it is really a very troublesome thing.

Donovan didn't have a good way to deal with it. After Paul George left, they would often face this situation. Unless Grant's defense can go one step further. Or, Robson can develop a stable scoring means out, at least in the offensive side to have a certain deterrent, let the other side dare not recklessly empty him.

But these two points are not things that can be done easily. Unable to fundamentally solve this problem, Donovan can only hope on his two core stars. Of course, he doesn't expect ANLO and Westbrook to be able to hold up the whole team's defense, although their defensive ability is not bad. What he wants to see is that these two guys can break through on the offensive end, attack with attack, and suppress each other with a stronger attack.

As a result, Anluo has been under a lot of pressure during this period. Donovan's thoughts led him to take on more scoring tasks, and he had to face a more difficult defensive environment. Raptors players in Nash's arrangement under the deployment, gave Anluo super star treatment. This is a situation that Anluo has rarely encountered since he entered the NBA. In the past few seasons, he occasionally encountered such treatment, but at that time, there was a Paul George in the thunder team. Even if he was completely locked up, the latter could support the thunder attack. But now, Paul George has been replaced by Gallinari. The latter's scoring ability is not much worse, but the lack of Paul George's kind of self sacrifice momentum, which is the main reason why he has never been able to break through the barrier of quasi all star players.

Gallinari couldn't resist the attack flag of a team. The good thing is that Westbrook has been able to share some of the pressure on ANLO. He was less defensive than ANLO, so when he found out that he couldn't open up, he came out.

In the past two seasons, thanks to wishbrook's active decentralization, his role in the thunder has become the initiator of the attack, but that doesn't mean his scoring ability has been weakened. In fact, he's just getting more good scorers, Angelo and Paul George, to do these things. After all, he has never been an efficient scorer. However, when he is focused on scoring, he is still quite good.

When ANLO attracted the Raptors' bags, Robson had more free space to help other players. His pick and roll screen allowed Westbrook to pick up and lay up in a more open environment. More than once, it was seen that ANLO was caught by two other players, decisively passing the ball to Westbrook, who had shaken off the defender under the cover of Robertson. The latter catches the ball straight into the penalty area and takes a European step around Pau Gasol or Ibaka to score. Sometimes, he even carries the big man to finish the goal.

The roles of ANLO and Westbrook were suddenly reversed. If it was the first time to watch the thunder game, I really would not think that now the scoring person should be the No. 1 position for organizing the attack, and the passer-by was the second position who could compete for the scoring king.

Under the impact of Westbrook, thunder will stabilize the situation of the game. But they can only do this for the time being! Raptors are also happy to see the game achieve such a situation, compared to Anluo's explosive output, they want thunder's ball right to concentrate on the body of Westbrook, who is constantly hitting the basket. Although that kind of attack will bring them foul trouble, but Westbrook's free throw tonight is not particularly accurate, the lethality caused is very ordinary.Gallinari has always been a deterrent outside the three-point line, with both Powell and Arnold following him. However, such defense can only be said to be normal. Therefore, although he didn't have many chances to score, he still played a three-point excellent score and played the most basic role in the game. He and Anluo two people, firmly hold down the majority of the Raptors lineup, to Westbrook provided a great help.

Even so, thunder can only stabilize the situation of the game. Even their lead in the first quarter was very few. With the internal and external blossoms of Hickam and van Flett, and the occasional aura of Pau Gasol and Lori, it is not easy for thunder to get off to a good start on this night.
