Super Small Forward

Durant thought that the Lakers had been anxious because of the score, so they ran and drove. He felt very happy and finally had a chance to play. eΔ小Δsay ん

But who knows it's not the same thing at all!

The Lakers defended better than they did!

Westbrook was completely guarded against death by Liu Ren, Durant was double-teamed by Nash and Antetokounmpo on the outside, and there was no way to score. Antetokounmpo’s defensive talent is really terrible, comparable to the degree of a defender. And flexibility, and the size of a power forward, with longer hands than Durant!

On the other side, Lamb, who replaced Sefrosa on the field, was stubbornly posted by Green. Neither Ibaka nor Adams had the ability to shoot inside. Durant could only make a strong shot from the outside.

Durant was decisively missed by Antetokounmpo's long-arm three-pointer. He can only expect Ibaka's offensive rebound.

but!

Whiteside was born into Ibaka and Adams and took off the rebound ball and threw it to Green. The kind of action that looked relaxed and unwilling to spend a little more effort to get the rebound ball made people look at it, but it was so exciting. Helpless!

As soon as Durant took the shot, the Lakers started to counterattack. Liu Ren and Antetokounmpo counterattacked in two lines. Green made a long pass to Antetokounmpo, and Antetokounmpo kept moving the ball and threw the ball to the opponent. At the basket, Liu Ren got the ball in the air and then slammed the ball into the basket.

The Thunder seem to be very strong. In fact, it depends on three points. Durant's first outside team attracts double-teaming ability, Westbrook's impact and Ibaka's inside vitality.

Although Ibaka is injured, it is still possible to maintain a burst of more than ten minutes. This can be seen from the seven battles between them and the Warriors. The Thunder can defeat the Warriors with the performance of Westbrook Crater. Relying on Durant to bite the score, Ibaka exploded in the crucial few minutes.

Ibaka had planned to close the fight at the beginning and keep the best condition at the critical moment, but the Lakers found him to fight alone and forced him to go all out from the beginning. In one quarter, I used up the remaining explosive power.

After playing for seven or eight minutes, Ibaka felt a dull pain in his knee.

At this time, the Lakers replaced the giant tower of Whiteside. If Ibaka is in full bloom, he can fight Whiteside on the inside, but now he can only look at Whiteside with only one hand inside. Cover the sky.

With the guarantee of rebounds and inside defense, the other four Lakers actively double-teamed. Nash, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Green were relieved to fight back.

The situation on the court is firmly grasped by the Lakers!

They have started to go downhill since Harden left the Thunder. Now only Durant is left completely healthy. Ibaka can only guarantee a few minutes. Westbrook not only fails to make a positive contribution, but is dragging his feet to deal with. Although D'Antoni puts it solemnly on such a team, in fact it is not difficult to win as long as they play steadily according to the established tactics!

Mark Madsen could not help but sighed when he saw that this season has become a little different from the coach who used to be a little bit different. He has already heard some talk about this, both the management and the players are already changing. The coach is very dissatisfied.

But these things have nothing to do with his assistant coach. Mark Madsen sighed and continued to adjust the rotation according to D'Antoni's instructions, using a deep lineup to ensure the strength of the playing lineup anytime, anywhere.

The Thunder are now in a terrible situation. It is better for Durant to throw off his shoulders alone. Their head coach Brooks saw that the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, the less he dared to replace Westbrook and Ibaka. Durant played even more awkward!

The Westbrook and Ibaka that Durant is accustomed to are the flying Westbrook and the Ibaka who is the best in the inside defensive league and the top rushing ability.

Durant’s ability to break double-teams has always been poor, and his outside organization ability is also very poor, but before Westbrook will help him attract double-teamed players, and he and Westbrook pick-and-roll will allow players to defend him. Had to double-team Westbrook, he was free. At this time, Westbrook passed the ball to him and forced other defensive players to defend him. He had a chance to pass the ball and get assists.

But now Westbrook is completely unable to attract double teams. Durant gave up playing the pick and roll with Westbrook in the Thunder and Warriors series.

The problem of breaking double-teams Durant never even thought about it when Ibaka was healthy. When he was double-teamed, he only needed to choose strong shots. First, he was accurate enough. Second, Ibaka was the last two years. The offensive rebounds rank among the top five in the league. Don't look at him, he averaged only about 8 rebounds per game, but 3 of them are offensive rebounds! Ibaka's rushing ability is extremely powerful~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But when neither of them can do what they did before, Durant has no idea how to fight.

The entire second quarter was a dark time for the Thunder. The Lakers, who are not known for defense, played 35-9 in a single quarter, directly widening the point difference to 3o, leading 67-37.

In the second half, D'Antoni chose the safest way of playing, not seeking to continue to expand the score, but to maintain the score.

As a result, D'Antoni waved his hand, allowing Marshall and Nash to take turns with Nick Young, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, Green, Bezmore, McCollum and other young players to start a run.

The biggest feature of D'Antoni's running and bombing is that as long as the fight is successful, both sides' defense is gone.

After the half-time game, the suspense was lost. The rotation of the two sides was constantly scoring points, but the point difference remained at more than 2o points.

In the end, the first game of the Western Conference semifinals was unexpectedly a big win. The Lakers beat the Thunder 139 to 111.

...

It's so easy to win!

This result did not even think of the Lakers themselves. Even Kobe and D'Antoni, who had planned the Ibaka collapse, did not expect the Thunder's three minors to influence each other so much, nor did they expect that the Thunder would have no resistance at all if the three minors went out of control. Ability, you must know that even if Ibaka and Westbrook played less than half of the games in the regular season, the Thunder still got 57 wins, the league's third-best record.

"It's really unpleasant! This way of winning is too uncomfortable, I want to go heads-up with Durant! It's not that we can't beat them!" Liu Ren said dissatisfied while receiving physical therapy.

To comfort the hapless child again, Kobe really felt like a nanny.

"Liu, I can understand your feelings, but we can't consume too much strength before meeting the Spurs!"
