The score on the court became 24:30.
During training, Yuhang and Jovic specially practiced some pick-and-roll techniques.
After Jovic gives Yuhang a pick-and-roll, Yuhang can go straight for a layup if no one is on defense.
If someone proposed to defend Yuhang, Jovic blocked the defender who was originally defending Yuhang, went down from the other side, received Yuhang's pass and went straight for an open layup.
Back in the second quarter, the Thunder replaced Bazley and took a rest. After all, he had to fight against Adebayor after he played again. Replaced by Jaylin Williams.
Jeddy Williams was selected by the Thunder with the 34th pick in the second round. He is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 108 kilograms. He is of Vietnamese descent and has a yellow face. The player report states that when healthy, he has a soft complexion. The touch and mid-range need to be improved, he has a good vision, can distribute the ball reasonably, and can also block shots on the defensive end.
The disadvantage is that he is unable to continuously invest on the court, sometimes misses rebounds, and his movement speed also needs to be improved.
PS Jaylen Williams and Jaylin Williams have nothing to do with each other except for their relationship as teammates and friends.
Thunder lineup: Center Jaylin Williams, forwards Jaylen Williams and Dort, guards Alexander and Gidi.
Heat lineup: Center Dedmon, forwards Jovic and Yuhang, guards Martin and Herro.
Thunder offense.
Giddy dribbled to the three-point line.
Martin stepped forward to lead the defense.
Alexander leaned on Yuhang to ask for the ball on the right side of the free throw line.
Gidi immediately passed the ball to Alexander.
Then everyone on the Thunder team began to move to the left, giving Alexander space to attack.
"boom!!"
Alexander suddenly blasted the ball with his left hand, and then hit Yuhang with his right shoulder, trying to squeeze out the space with explosive power.
However, Yuhang didn't move at all. Yuhang, who had increased his strength by 30%, was still relatively resilient.
Alexander saw that he failed to hit Yuhang.
He immediately turned back, took a step back, and tried to open up the space for a jump shot.
Yuhang's speed was also fast and he immediately stuck up.
"What are you confused about? Are you going to hit him?" Suddenly a loud voice came from the audience.
"Westbrook?"
"Ah, yes, the Thunder will play the Lakers at home next time."
"hero!!!"
"Westbrook!! Westbrook!! Westbrook!!"
The audience on the sidelines began to shout Westbrook's name.
Westbrook is still a hero in the eyes of Thunder fans.
"I got it, old man." Suddenly, Alexander got the strength from nowhere, squeezed Yuhang away, and sent the basketball board into the basket.
"Tremendous stress!!"
"Hey... isn't this Westbrook? Westbrook is going home. Westbrook should be considered one of Alexander's teachers." Yang Jian. Westbrook said while looking at the screen wearing a peaked cap, casual clothes, and black sunglasses.
"I was particularly impressed. One time when the Thunder were 20 points behind, Alexander looked indifferent off the court. Westbrook came off the court with an angry look on his face and kicked Alexander in the foot. It was all about you, the ball. Team boss, you are 10 points behind, 20 points and 30 points, you have to work hard to lead the team to catch up with the score." Yang Yi recalled.
"It is true that ability is important, but so is leadership quality." Yang Jian said in agreement.
The atmosphere at the Thunder's home court has changed. It's no longer the lifeless look it had when they were lagging behind. It's starting to get irritating.
"What a troublesome guy." Coach Spoelstra frowned.
The score on the court became 26:30, and the Heat temporarily took the lead.
Coach Spoelstra immediately called a timeout. He didn't want the Thunder to gain momentum.
The tactics arranged by the live broadcast coach are still centered around the Thunder's starting center Alexander for defense.
Coach Madai is very glad that Westbrook can come to the game.
"Do you think the Thunder have a chance to enter the playoffs this season?" Yang Jian asked Yang Yi during the timeout.
"It's difficult. The players are all good players. Although they are all high draft picks, the draft is ultimately divided into a big draft year and a small draft year. The drafts of Gidi and Jaylen Williams this year are small draft years. Many. High-ranking players, you may not see them in the NBA in two years, and they will disappear." Yang Yi thought for a while and said.
"That's true. But it's a pity for Alexander." Yang Jian said with some pity.
"It's not a pity, but I'm glad Alexander is in the Thunder." Yang Yi said seriously.
Yang Jian showed a confused look.
"Do you think if he was in the Mavericks, who would have more playing time between him and Qiqi? It would definitely be Qiqi. If you switch to other teams, it would be the same. It is impossible to give you such a long playing time for a rookie player. . But the Thunder gave him more playing time so that he could accumulate more experience and gradually become the new king of the Thunder." Yang Yi answered seriously.
Yang Jian also nodded in agreement.
Back on the field.
Heat offense.
Martin dribbled across half court to near the three-point line.
Giddy came up to defend Martin.
Yuhang brought it up to set a pick-and-roll for Martin.
Yuhang blocked Giddy, and Martin took advantage of the situation and wanted to insert inside.
Jaylen Williams immediately switched defenses with Guiddy to cover Martin.
Martin passed the ball directly back to Yuhang.
At this time, Yuhang faced Guidi near the free throw line.
"Don't try to score easily!" Jidi stepped forward to defend Yuhang. He still remembered Yuhang's attempt to block him.
At this time, although Misplaced Yuhang was acting as a small forward, he faced Thunder defender Giddy.
However, Jidi’s 2.03m is still 7cm taller than the Aerospace.
Yuhang directly hit the ball with his right hand and hit Giddy with his left shoulder. After squeezing out the space, he stepped back and directly pulled up from the mid-range.
Suddenly, Alexander came from behind Yuhang to help defend, trying to block Yuhang.
Yuhang in mid-air noticed Alexander behind him.
Yuhang suddenly saw Jovic cutting in from 45 degrees.
Yuhang put the ball directly into Jovic's hands.
Jovic took a big step directly to Gidi's side. Gidi had no time to react. If he moved laterally, it would be a defensive foul. Jovic directly sent the basketball into the basket.
"Snapped!!!"
Yuhang and Jovic bumped into each other excitedly.
The score on the court became 26:32, and the Heat temporarily took the lead.
"It's really timely. If you were a step later, I wouldn't know how to handle the ball!" Yuhang said with a smile.
"It's okay." Jovic scratched his head.
Coach Spoelstra on the sidelines applauded Jovic and Yuhang.
This is what Coach Spoelstra wants to see. The rotation includes shooters who can break through inside and Vincent on the outside.
