"Now that the team is ready, how should the Thunder play?
Westbrook dribbles the ball to the frontcourt, and the formation is stretched out. This is a direct draw...
Westbrook was very powerful and turned over Durant's cards. How often... no, even in the first quarter of the game, Durant never missed a shot..."
Durant is a threat when he gets the ball. Nowitzki needs to react when he lifts the ball or takes a step. When the three threats are all threatening to score, no one can guard him.
"Durant feinted a shot and rushed in with the ball. Seeing Nowitzki fighting and retreating, he changed direction and continued to break through.
In the end, will it work?
It’s impossible to reach the end, Durant shot... No, he pulled it up and didn’t shoot, but distributed the ball..."
At this time, Harden has got rid of Su Bei's defense. He is playing without the ball and can easily get open opportunities with the help of his teammates' cover. The key is whether his teammates will see that he is empty and pass the basketball. come over.
Obviously, although Durant is the scoring champion, he plays as a team.
"Catch the ball, jump up, and take a shot. Harden receives Durant's pass, raises his hand and takes a three-point jumper..."
By the time Su Bei broke out of the blocked circle, Harden had already finished his work and the basketball was flying in the air.
Swish——!
"pretty!!
Harden's three-pointer was accurately hit, and he did not lose Durant's trust. He hit a very encouraging three-pointer and the point difference returned to 4 points.
The Thunder have a king and a 2 in the lineup. The king and a 2 have played just the right effect. This is the answer to the Thunder's lead in my Mavericks..."
Up to this point in the game, the situation has been very clear.
The Thunder team has a combination of Wang Zha and a cornerstone 2, which can be separated into singles. The next thing that is missing is that Xiao Wang can play. At the same time, other cards can be played smoothly, and the big and small kings are played... No, as long as a 2 is played The effect is that the Thunder can crush the Mavericks with talent.
Off the field, Scott Brooks is happy with the situation.
The question is that he is a landlord.
Moreover, he is also a landlord with an online IQ. A king and a 2 both play the effect of "your cards are played too well".
Coach Carlisle did not panic. Although he came to Hong Kong with talent, he is a farmer and wants to fight against landlords.
But both farmers are rich peasants.
As long as the two hands of cards are coordinated properly and the playing is smoother, no matter how good the landlord's cards are, there is still one thing to say: delaying time is useless.
In the first quarter of the game, the two hands did not play in such a tacit understanding, and they were unable to suppress the advantage played by the Thunder. In the second quarter, although the Thunder played 2, which also had a lot of effects, the Mavericks had The cards are also very smooth, just let the bullets fly for a while!
If you don’t work hard, it will be sunny!
Hong Kong Zhen, playing Landlords and playing basketball cannot be said to be the same, but they can only be said to be somewhat similar.
"Balia continued to speed up, dribbling the ball in the frontcourt and breaking through. He was blocked by Westbrook, but he didn't panic..."
The question is, in this round, Nowitzki's card was originally going to be turned over.
Nowitzki is 33 years old. In fact, even when he was young, his physical fitness was a lot of problems. Now that he is old, he must act and cherish it.
In the second quarter, the game started with a lot of flourishes. Nowitzki just played a walk-on role. Although he played an offensive situation, Nowitzki's offensive talents were somewhat wasted.
For the next layout, the damn basketball must be handed over to Nowitzki.
Su Bei was guarded by Harden and played the role of a walk-on.
"Lifting the ball and feinting, dribbling the ball, giving him a butt with his back, shaking his shoulders and turning around, lifting the ball and shaking again. Yin Baka has very strong defensive skills. He jumped up to block the shot... No, he was acted, No. Witsky carried his body and threw the basketball at the same time..."
Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
Nowitzki's shot was short and missed, but the referee's whistle sounded, convicting Yin Baka's thug for a foul.
"Nowitzki's post-up one-on-one is so good. He is not afraid of physical confrontation. The key is that he is so accurate. Every move forces Yin Baka to react defensively.
Anyone who doesn't react is disrespectful to Nowitzki's shooting, and he will be beaten by Nowitzki's shooting..."
Hong Kong is true, Durant did it too.
This is a superstar, and if he has the role of a shooting superstar, it's not easy to stand up to him.
Swish——!
Swish——!
Standing on the free throw line, faced with the problem of giving away points, Nowitzki did not hesitate and made two free throws, catching up to 2 points.
The Mavericks' offensive firepower continued to increase. In the second quarter, the iron was beaten, but they could basically score in every round. This is the horror of the Mavericks' offense. The Thunder's defense continued to be beaten.
Although the Thunder's offense returned a lot of good shots, the Thunder's offensive firepower is a little more brave.
This situation is something the Thunder don't want to see, but since they don't understand defense, no one wants to understand.
It's nothing more than a confrontation.
"Westbrook charged forward, and Barea couldn't compare to the reckless man like the Turtle in terms of length, hardness, or even durability.
Subei's assistance in defense has passed. Compared with the threat of shooting, protecting the basket now seems more urgent.
Westbrook did not waver and immediately passed the ball to Harden. Then, Harden quickly completed the transfer and passed the ball to Durant, who cut through the paint and entered the paint..."
This is undoubtedly letting the wolf into the sheep's den. Of course, it's not that the Mavericks' defense is too weak, but that Durant is too strong. Now Harden is giving him a knife. What are you going to do?
"Su Bei took action and took the risk to steal the ball..."
Snapped--!
Durant took advantage of the situation and made a shooting posture.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee also convicted Subei's thug for a foul. Durant also did his homework and got two free throw opportunities.
"Subei's defense was very reasonable, but it was just a little bit luckier, showing its experience in the playoffs.
If Durant rushes out, he will die. It is better to make a gambling steal with the risk of fouling.
It's just a pity that Su Bei didn't succeed. Fortunately, Durant didn't score a 3-pointer. Let's look at Durant's free throw..."
Two swish sounds, two free throws, and free throws were also a point problem for Durant.
The point difference is still 4 points.
Swish——!
Looking back, Terry broke through with the ball, passed the ball to Nowitzki, made a shot, hit a two-pointer, and continued to chase points.
The Thunder's offense was unstoppable, or Barea couldn't stand it, so he rushed Westbrook and penetrated the Mavericks' defense.
“Perkins came up empty and caught a Westbrook breakaway.
The opportunity came up, hey, he passed the ball!
When Yin Baka faced the opportunity of the basket, his body flew up and hit the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
The dunk was scored, and the referee's whistle also sounded at the same time, convicting Nowitzki of a blocking foul.
"Yin Baka scored 2+1, Nowitzki's defense was still too weak.
This ball can actually be watched. Nowitzki insisted on not giving him a chance to dunk to boost his energy. However, his physical strength could not withstand the confrontation, so he could only give away points..."
Swish——!
Yin Baka's free throws are not worthy of points, but it is not a problem and he will do it.
The score difference returned to 5 points.
The Thunder are at their most advanced, and their offensive power is so strong.
Of course, it's not unusual for the Mavericks to miss out on the backcourt and be penetrated by the Thunder's talent flow.
Coach Carlisle couldn't bear it anymore, so he no longer had to bear it and replaced Barilla with Kidd.
“Kidd took the ball to the top of the arc and started calling the shots.
Su Bei cut into the basket from the right corner and used Chandler's screen to get rid of Harden.
There was no change of defense, and Subei was completely empty. Kidd seized the passing opportunity and quickly distributed the basketball..."
He catches the ball, jumps up, ignores Durant's switch, raises his hand and shoots a three-point jumper...
It looked like Durant's block hit Su Bei's face, but in fact, he was already a beat slower and the basketball was already flying in the air.
Swish——!
“Su Bei’s three-pointer was very hard and responded to the Thunder’s three-point goal with a precise three-pointer.
The Mavericks' firepower continued, and the Thunder's defense still couldn't withstand it..."
The Thunder's defense is still a simple man-to-man tactic, and the only thing left is to block people at the basket.
With the current shooting state of the Mavericks, shrinking to the basket and acting like a turtle is a target for fire.
But with man-to-man tactics, facing cover coordination, and the opponent's shuffling, the Thunder's defensive awareness simply couldn't keep up, and they could only listen to the gunshots.
Hong Kong, it may be very possible that the Thunder have given up on defense and only want to play against the Mavericks on offense, hoping to use their talent to defeat the Mavericks.
"Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt, glanced at Durant, broke through and exploded, accelerated in an instant, and broke through to the inside.
Kidd fought and retreated. Su Bei's help came in, but it was of no use. Westbrook had already risen to the ball, jumping up and down like a zombie and shooting stiffly..."
That bounce, that burst, I really can't block shots. It's just a pity that no matter how good the talent is, if the job at hand is not good, it will be beaten by the iron.
Bang-dang——!
Westbrook's offensive process has no solution, but the result has a solution.
The shot was so weird, the basketball missed.
"Chandler picked off the rebound and the Mavericks had a chance to tie the game.
Kidd brought the ball to the frontcourt, stretched the formation, and turned over Nowitzki's card..."
It was Yin Baka who watched the defense, raised the ball and feinted, and after adjusting his body's center of gravity, Nowitzki broke through with the ball, copied what he had just done, and gave Yin Baka a butt.
Shake your shoulders and turn around, jump back with your left foot, raise your hand and shoot an independent two-point fadeaway jumper from the Golden Rooster...
After all, Yin Baka's defense is his highlight. With his extremely strong talent, he can forcefully pounce to block shots.
Swish——!
Beep——!
"Nowitzki scored 2+1!
His shot with one leg tilted back is too confusing. He is 2.13 meters tall and still shoots backwards. No matter how talented Yin Baka is, he is only 2.08 meters tall. What can you use to top it? "
You can't stand it, height is also a gift!
Nowitzki scored the equalizer and also got the go-ahead free throw.
Swish——!
No mercy, Nowitzki scored 3 points, almost 6 minutes into the second quarter, leading the Mavericks to complete the lead.
"Hong Kong Zhen, the Thunder's offensive firepower is already very strong, but I didn't expect that there would be someone better than him. This is the situation from where it came from, and it seems a bit outrageous.
Sharp, how did the Thunder do it? During the defense, I actually defended for 6 minutes.
The Thunder's defense is like a bus, and anyone from the Mavericks can get on..."
You call this defense on the Western Conference Finals stage, it's so bad that you can't even look at it.
When walking on one leg, no matter how talented you are, you will still be caught up.
The Thunder are still too young!
After all, this year's Western Conference Finals was an accident that hit them on the head. No matter how hard they fought, they made a profit.
What about happy basketball?
Bang-dang——!
Yin Baka's close jump shot from the basket was still sent.
"Westbrook's breakthrough penetrated the Mavericks' defense again. The opportunity came out, but it's a pity that Yin Baka's shot was useless..."
Finally, Kidd, who is not an offensive player, tried to test his shooting touch. After all, his teammates had others, and he felt that he could play with him. However, he was defeated, and his two-point shot was also impaired.
Bang-dang——!
"It's very possible that Kidd's ball was hit randomly by Jiba. It's not even possible, but it's certain.
When the Thunder had a chance to counterattack, Perkins took off the rebound and passed the ball to Westbrook to rush forward. He didn't panic when he was blocked. He passed the ball to Durant, who was as fast as the defender. He broke through with the ball and changed direction. Pull it out and cum..."
Swish——!
With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Durant took action and hit a two-point pull-up shot during the counterattack. He played the leading role in scoring and took the lead back.
The two sides are still 1 point apart.
At this time, Carlisle made adjustments and replaced Su Bei, Chandler and Terry with Haywood, Marion and Stojakovic, and started to fuck Nowitzki to death. Operation.
In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks went from defeating their opponents to being defeated by the Thunder when Nowitzki came off the court to rest.
Although his whole life has been hit, he has found the key to winning.
Fuck Nowitzki if you ask.
Not to mention, Nowitzki's suppression was indeed a very good move.
Next, the Mavericks' offense, although fluctuating, has Nowitzki's stable firepower output.
The Mavericks played very well with each other, and their offensive firepower continued to increase.
Marion's mid-range shot, Stojakovic's three-pointer, and Haywood's mid-range shot were all controlled and supported by Nowitzki.
"Nowitzki is playing like a superstar, and with him on the court, the Mavericks' offense can't stop.
On the contrary, the Thunder's offense is in danger..."
Bang-dang——!
Offensively, Westbrook still acts as an undercover presence, shooting poorly.
The Mavericks' shrinking zone defense prevented his physical talent from getting to the basket, and his shooting skills were not his strong point, so his offense was useless at all.
Forget it, Westbrook can't help. His hip shots allow the Mavericks to unscrupulously let go of the Turtles and devote all their defensive energy to dealing with Durant.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
Durant's offense is very reasonable!
No one can be stubborn all the time!
The most unreasonable thing is that the most handsome guy on the court who was in his prime just now, his name is Harden, actually became invisible.
It’s true that one monk has water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks, how come there is no water to drink?
Harden is invisible, Westbrook is undercover, and Durant is useless. The Thunder's offense is completely misfired.
Although the Mavericks' offensive firepower has declined, they can still beat the Thunder. In the second quarter, the Mavericks blossomed more, beating the Thunder 37 to 21.
At the end of the first half, the score was 59 to 52. The Mavericks entered the locker room to rest with a 7-point lead.
Brooks shot 0-for-4, Durant went 2-for-4, and Harden shot 3-for-4, shooting 30% from the field. It’s not unusual to be beaten.
The Mavericks shot 61% from the field.
Nowitzki was beaten to death, making 5 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and 13 points in a single quarter.
Su Bei made 4 of 5 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 10 points in a single quarter. He and Nowitzki worked together. It was really difficult to connect with this "driver"!
