Super Small Forward

Unlike ordinary teams, even if you are behind, you can win with one effort. The strength of the Thunder is definitely one of the best teams in the league.

When D'Antoni called a timeout, he adjusted the team's offensive strategy and strengthened the team's defense near the three-point line.

After the timeout, the two teams returned to the court, the Lakers ball.

This time the Lakers came back and hit the ball directly into the hands of Whiteside under the basket, letting Whiteside go heads-up against Adams under the basket.

Adams's defensive ability is extremely strong, but Whiteside is stronger. Born in 1989, he is now 26 years old and almost 27 years old. He is at the peak of physical fitness, and his ability to use the body is also super strong. Although Adams has strength, The defensive impact is also very strong, but Whiteside is stronger, Adams can't help it.

Whiteside turned and leaned on Adams and threw a small hook easily.

The Thunder came and passed the ball to Westbrook first. Westbrook clearly felt very good today.

Westbrook broke through from the right to the wing and started with a stop jumper.

Westbrook made an emergency stop and made another shot. Today, Westbrook felt very good. His handball fell steadily into the Lakers' basket.

At this time, Liu Ren should take action, and Clarkson pushed forward again.

Liu Ren walked to the bottom line first, and waited until Clarkson came up before he ran out to catch the ball.

After getting the ball, Liu Ren and Westbrook almost reached an almost identical offense, used the screen to go around, then withdrew to the side, raised their hands and threw a mid-range hit.

The Thunder immediately pushed forward, and the Lakers' defense began to become more aggressive.

Clarkson started to circle Westbrook when the Thunder served. Clarkson is indeed inferior to Westbrook in explosiveness, but the speed is not bad at all, and he is more aggressive and stalking.

On the Thunder side, Waiters can only be responsible for dribbling, and Durant will be snatched by Liu Ren in all likelihood.

Waiters advanced to the scene and wanted to pass to Durant or Westbrook, but Kobe blocked the pass of Waiters, and Waiters finally passed the ball to Durant, who was on top of it. Hands.

Durant took the ball over and faced Liu Ren on the middle road. Liu Ren grabbed a step to defend and wanted to steal Durant. Durant’s biggest offensive problem was not holding the ball well, even if he was injured in Westbrook. A huge improvement in one year, but it is still easy to steal. The Spurs beat them so well because Durant is always directly steals by Leonard's death.

However, the Thunder also knows Durant’s weakness. Let Ibaka come out to block Liu Ren, and this is the Thunder’s home court. Ibaka directly grabbed Liu Ren’s jersey and pasted it together. The referee didn’t blow, Durant. Take the opportunity to stride forward to the basket.

When he reached the basket, Durant turned twice in a row, two fake moves, and Whiteside, who was swaying defense, don’t want it. After all, Whiteside is a center and Durant is so high that he can only jump up if he can’t keep up. , Durant avoided Whiteside's right-handed throw and sent the ball to the Lakers' basket.

At this time, the score of the two teams was 13-6, and the Thunder continued to suppress the Lakers with their home court advantage!

The Lakers called again.

Clarkson took the ball and waited on the right sideline first, Liu Ren swam to the bottom line and ran out to the right mid-range to catch the ball.

Liu Ren and Clarkson turned all their attention to the right. At this time, Kobe, who was on the left, used Green’s screen and ran to the left of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle. When Liu Ren received the ball, he made a long pass without stopping. In the hands of Kobe on the other side, Kobe caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Kobe's off the ball is really strong! The efficiency after playing without the ball is so high that it explodes! Better than last season and the two most efficient seasons in 2012-2013!

The Thunder came again, and the Lakers continued their oppressive defense.

The Lakers came up early to defend, forcing the Thunder to be unable to pass the ball to Westbrook and can only pass the ball to Durant.

Ibaka wanted to get out of the pick-and-roll this time and was stuck by Green. Durant couldn't find the pick-and-roll and could only throw a middle distance against Liu Ren's defense.

Durant's mid-range hit the ring and missed!

The Thunder finally missed the ball!

Whiteside grabs a rebound, the Lakers counterattack!

Liu Ren and Clarkson quickly went down, Liu Ren received the ball, but was doubled by Waiters and Durant, who were chased by the Thunder, Liu Ren passed to Clarkson, Clarkson took the ball and shot inside the three-point line!

The Lakers are really iron today, and Clarkson didn't make a mid-range shot that Clarkson was good at.

Both teams missed the ball, and the offense began to drop inexplicably.

By the middle of the first quarter, the feel of the two teams began to decline, and the rise of the score began to slow down. Towards the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored 20 to 17, the Thunder led by three points and entered the official timeout.

After the official timeout ended, the two teams replaced some substitutes. The Thunder replaced Westbrook and replaced Benno Udri. Once Westbrook has no ball in his hands, he will be useless and the defense is not good. In this case, it’s not as useful as Udri’s wanton play. At the same time, he also replaced Andre Robertson, a defensive champion, and put Durant at the power forward position. Durant is the Thunder’s No. The second highest, there is no problem playing power forward offensively, and his rebounding is still the best for the Thunder...

The Lakers replaced Antetokounmpo and Blake with two defensive champions to help share Liu Ren’s defensive pressure. Whiteside’s defense is good, but Durant rushed in. He really couldn’t help. On, it’s good to switch to Black, and Antetokounmpo and Liu Ren’s striker can also make up for defense at any time.

After the timeout came back to the Thunder, Udry pushed forward to Durant, and then went to the corner to wait.

Durant was embarrassed by Liu Ren’s ubiquitous little moves, and Antetokounmpo, who went directly to the free throw line to be ready to help defend, also made Durant feel threatened. He could only pass the ball to the low post. In the hands of Adams, Adams has basically no offense, but the pass is good. He took the ball and immediately gave the ball to Udri in the corner.

Udri is very hard, but there is also a problem. The offensive end only has the shooting button, and he takes the ball and makes a three-pointer.

The most worrying thing happened after Donovan head coach replaced Udrih. Udrih’s defense is more impactful, but the offensive end is too confident and inaccurate! The open shots were horribly crooked and the ball was snatched by Antetokounmpo.

Fortunately, the Thunder returned to defense quickly.

The Lakers pushed forward, and now the Lakers have a lighter lineup, but the high inside advantage is gone, so it has become dominated by cuts and high shots.

Clarkson and Antetokounmpo made a high pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Clarkson caught sight of the cut-in Blake and threw off Adams. Clarkson saw that he had a chance to assist, and the horse uploaded it. Who knew the Thunder’s Andre Robertson early I was ready, and I jumped over to grab the ball.

Andre Robertson got the ball and handed it to Udri, who was running over. In addition to defense, Andre Roberts was really bad in other aspects. The only thing on the offensive end was the fixed three-pointer, and he had a very good player. The strange thing is that the free throw percentage is not as high as the three-pointer...

When Udri went to the frontcourt, he almost couldn't suppress his shooting impulse. Fortunately, coach Donovan stood on the side of the court against him, and he passed to Durant with a shiver.

Durant took the ball at the top corner of the left free throw line, and the other four of the team moved to the right. Liu Ren defended Durant from outside the three-point line, and Antetokounmpo's turn was near the three-second zone.

Antetokounmpo chose top defense, and Black was behind to help defend, Antetokounmpo was not afraid of being passed by Durant.

Deep in the defense of two people, Durant finally turned his body around and passed the ball to Waiters outside. There was really no way for Waiters to be defended by Liu Ren, so he could only pass back to Durant again. .

Here comes the embarrassment of the Thunder. Like many teams with superstars, role players are really bad. This is why team play is becoming more and more popular. Five quasi-first-class players are more common than a superstar. Second-rate players have better results and more styles of play!

Durant continued to take the ball, Antetokounmpo and Black double-teamed up.

Durant was caught by the two and was about to make a mistake. Fortunately, although Udri was alone, he had a good mind. Seeing that the Lakers were empty inside, he threw Clarkson and cut in. Durant passed the ball. Delhi caught the ball and made a layup.

Durant is Durant after all, and his ability to attract defense is too good.

The Lakers stabilized their minds, did not worry, and continued to play tactics.

I can’t give Clarkson the main control. Clarkson didn’t feel good today, so he couldn’t attract the defense during the pick-and-roll. After all, he was still a second-year player. He was a little panicked and a little aggressive when he couldn’t play offense. This is why I want to pass it to Black.

Antetokounmpo held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Durant looked at Antetokounmpo’s dribble with real eyesight. They all said Durant was tall, but in fact it was only 2.09 to 2.010. , And Antetokounmpo is a real seven-footer! The dribble is so good, people are more popular than others.

The Lakers are ready to play simpler here, Liu Ren dropped to the low post! Antetokounmpo was transported and hung to Liu Ren. Liu Ren leaned on Andre Robertson and prepared to fight!

Liu Ren showed off his O'Neal style back attack from time to time this season, and he has already become famous.

Thanks to O’Neal’s big mouth, everyone knows that Liu Ren did not ask Kobe or Olajuwon for advice. Instead, he found O’Neill, who claims to be a great mentor...

Fans are very worried about whether Liu Ren will become fatter and fatter like O'Neal, as well as that low post attack style, which is really a drama...

Before Liu Renluo crashed into the three-second zone, Adams and Durant defended it, because they knew that as long as Liu Ren crashed into the three-second zone, the small hook that jumped up would not be able to stop it. The height is not shorter than O'Neal. If only one person doubles, Liu Ren can directly turn around and throw a shot from the other side, so Durant and Adams doubled from two directions.

Unknowingly, Liu Ren's low post has become a great tactical play. His improvement every year is in the eyes of the fans. This is also the reason why his fans are more and more year after year.

Liu Ren attracted a double-team and threw the ball back on the back of his head. Blake leaped up and grabbed the ball with both hands and pushed the ball into the Thunder's basket.

Just like Durant's unsolvable double-pass teammate who passed the air cut, the Lakers' Liu Ren with the ball is also very unsolvable for the Thunder.

In the current situation, the Lakers and Thunder are not so comfortable.

Without Whiteside, the Lakers' defense at the basket is relatively empty, but with Whiteside, there is no such quick center to help double-defense Durant.

On the Thunder side, they encountered Liu Ren and Antetokounmpo, two guys who didn't take the usual way to play.

The Thunder called a timeout, replaced Westbrook again, and replaced Waiters, who hadn't played the role of the egg. Coach Donovan didn't care about physical strength anymore. The Lakers were not in a hurry in this anxious state. But he is anxious! Waiting for more and more players in the rotation, the Thunder's bench will definitely be crushed by the Lakers. In this case, coach Novan can only use Westbrook and Durant to his death.

It's the Thunder attack again.

Westbrook had the ball, and Westbrook had a much faster pace of control. Durant and Adams immediately set a double screen on the right 45-degree angle to cover Westbrook's sideline breakthrough.

Under the protection of double screens, Westbrook quickly broke through, so the Lakers defense was attracted by Westbrook.

Westbrook passed the ball to the latter. Although the latter's offensive ability was awkward, but the open shot was still good, Clarkson immediately made up for it, and Andre Roberson immediately passed it to Udri who ran to the top of the arc.

Udrih quickly shot a three-pointer. This time Udrih's wave shot was finally made, and he simply fell into the Lakers' basket.

Durant can rely on his mid-range shooting ability to play out his teammate's air cut. Westbrook is the outside shooter who liberated the team, and the two have the same strength at the beginning of the game in the Thunder.

The Lakers held their minds and attacked.

Liu Ren took the ball from the outside and passed Andre Robertson and broke into the inside from the right. Adams hurried over to help defend. After Liu Ren waited for Adams to come up, he passed the ball to Black behind Adams.

Blake faced an empty basket and dunked the ball! Durant couldn't help it. He was hit by Black, a guy with muscular pimple...It is estimated that his thin bamboo pole can fall apart.

Blake dunks consecutively, and the Thunder made consecutive hits from outside and air cuts. The game suddenly entered a fierce stage.

Still not playing the advantage, the Thunder feel very sad, now they are almost their strongest lineup, and as a result, they can't take advantage of the Lakers rotation.

The Thunder continued to attack.

Durant once again leaned to a position a little outside the three-second zone, Westbrook passed in, and Durant directly turned over and hit Antetokounmpo by surprise.

Antetokounmpo's attention was focused on Durant's passing after attracting the defense. Unexpectedly, Durant made a direct shot. This position was not disturbed. Durant shot a high percentage and dropped straight to the basket.

Although the Thunder have been unable to open the score today, they actually played perfectly in the first quarter! It's just that the Lakers are too strong.

It can only be said that the two superpower teams of the Lakers and Warriors are really incomprehensible.

The Lakers attacked. If the Thunder didn't make it, the Lakers would break fast. The Thunder scored, and the Lakers dropped to a low post to beat the rhythm. Liu Ren dropped to a low post again and jammed Andre Robertson to reach out for the ball.

Antetokounmpo immediately delivered the ball to Liu Ren's hands.

Liu Ren took the ball directly from the baseline. This time the Thunder and the Lakers were very entangled in defense. Are they double-teaming? Adams hesitated about Blake's brutal physical fitness.

Just when Adams hesitated, Liu Ren directly knocked Andre Roberson into the inside and turned over dunks and scored two points.

Oklahoma City still has some Lakers fans at home. They saw Liu Ren's back hitting in this way, and then they thought of O'Neal's saying that he was Liu Ren's trainer. The whole person was not good.

In the past, Liu Ren hit the opponent's outside line with strong deductions. The fans didn't think there was anything wrong, but felt very domineering.

But now, people feel that Liu Ren seems to be biased by O'Neill.

If you can't prevent it, you can only rely on offense.

Westbrook dribbled the ball forward, but as soon as it was transported to the frontcourt, the Lakers jumped out. Clarkson rushed out to press the defense and blocked Westbrook in the center line.

Clarkson was too inexistent today and made no contribution at all, and D'Antoni did not replace him, which made him touch and blame himself, so he wanted to go sideways and directly blocked the desperate defense.

Westbrook saw Clarkson's eyes, and his mental shadow instantly came out. He thought of Beverly... Westbrook immediately passed the ball to the hand of Udri who came to meet him.

Udri scored a goal just now, and now his confidence exploded, rushing to the three-point line and ignoring his opponent directly...

Liu Ren had a hunch when he saw Udri rushing over, but he didn't think anyone would be so brainless, but Liu Ren jumped up subconsciously.

Just when Liu Ren secretly shouted badly, thinking that Udri would use this to make a breakthrough, he saw Udri also jumped up and shot directly...

Liu Ren snatched the ball from the air...

Liu Ren even cover with grab! He himself felt it was too unexpected! This guy was not so shocked when he was in the Grizzlies! Come to the thunder to liberate nature?

Udrih quickly fouled to prevent Liu Ren from the fast break. He wanted to use his foul to prevent the Lakers from counterattacking. However, it is better to let Liu Ren fight back. The Thunder fouled more than 4 times in a single quarter. It was time for a free throw, Liu Ren walked to the free throw line, and the Thunder was called to a timeout again.

With more than a minute left in the first quarter, Billy Donovan sighed and replaced Westbrook, Durant and Adams in one breath. It is indeed time to replace the substitutes, otherwise three people The first quarter is full, and the second quarter is unlikely to have too long rest time, then there will be really no way to deal with the Lakers.

In the second quarter, both teams started to completely change their rotations, and Liu Ren also went down on the Lakers side.

The Thunder's lineup has become Udri, Anthony Morrow, Kyle Singler, Andre Roberson, Kanter.

The Thunder’s shooting ability in this lineup is really not bad, much better than the Lakers. There is also Udry, a chaotic master, Anthony Morrow can shoot, Kyle Singler is responsible for the handsome and shooting, Andre Roberson has three points. With the ball, Kanter's inside singles is also very good.

However, this lineup is basically defensive, and the only one who is considered strong defensively is Andre Robertson, but he goes to play power forward...Basically no defense anymore.

But who is the disability of the Thunder lineup, there are a full six small forwards, almost envious of the Clippers.

Inside Kanter defends the black hole, coupled with a small forward Andre-Robertson to play the power forward ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ inside defensive strength is impossible to talk about.

Don't mention the defenses of Anthony Morrow, Kyle Singler, and Udri on the outside, either they are old, or short, or they don't know whether it is a rotation based on p-y trades.

Compared with the Thunder, the Lakers' defense is fairly guaranteed, with Gasol and Black sitting on the inside can completely block most of the basket offense.

McCollum’s defense on the outside is above the average level. Although LaVine is thin and weak here, he has good physical fitness and good resistance. Antetokounmpo’s small forward is even more comfortable, playing the same outside defense as Liu Ren. The role of the brake.

This is also the Lakers' biggest advantage over the Thunder, that is, most of the stars are not paid high, and there are many high-quality role players.

Coach Donovan’s sad time has come. From the end of the first quarter to the first half of the second quarter, the situation on the court belongs to the Lakers.

Originally had a five-point lead, but after fully entering the rotation time, the Lakers began to press the Thunder on the ground. The game hit the third minute of the second quarter, the Lakers did not score and overtook the score, still leading 40 to 31. The Thunder scored nine points.
