Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Thunder's home arena, which has just been renamed less than half a year ago, was still called the Ford Center before July 23, 2011.
On the court.
Su Bei stood on the right side of the three-point corner. Although his face was calm, his heart was very depressed.
After coming to Oklahoma from Dallas and changing teams, Su Bei's role is still the same young man as before... without any change!
The Thunder's third young master, or rather the fourth young master's era, was notoriously blind and messy in offensive tactics.
The explosive combination of Durant and Westbrook plays two-person superstar basketball.
Sefolosha, Yin Baka and Perkins are offensive tools.
Either it’s grabbing offensive rebounds, or it’s covering and assisting with air cuts to eat the pie, or it’s catching the ball in an open space, shooting jumpers and rushing to the basket...
Once upon a time, Iverson played a one-offense and four-defense strategy.
Now the Wang Zha combination is playing a two-offense and three-defense strategy.
No doctor can't cure the disease. If he can't, just find a second or third one...
The Wang Zhao combination couldn't win, so they took off an offensive tool and replaced Harden on the court, adding a single point with the ball.
Most teams cannot withstand the three-stage offense and will be beaten to death by a chaotic battle. If they cannot defeat their opponents, the Thunder will simply surrender and admit defeat.
It is estimated that if you lose, you will only lose half.
If you lose now, the future will still belong to the Thunder.
That's too far!
In the preseason, Subei watched the game from the sidelines and did not play. He did not just sit there stupidly, but paid to watch and learn from the heroic appearance of the Thunder's third youngster.
Under the guidance of Scott Brooks, the Thunder's offense highlights a simple and direct approach.
Asking is about talent crushing!
Su Bei's joining will replace Sefolosha's starting position.
This person is close to the top 3Ds. Among them, the 3D is top-notch. He has been in the best defensive second team. The 3D is just short of 100 million points. In the 10/11 season, his three-point shooting is only 27%. The three-point shooting is quite acceptable. , and he averages 1 shot per game and can't hurt his opponent.
You also need Durant and Westbrook to pass the ball!
How dare you talk back!
Anyway, you have to admit your mistakes. Moreover, Sefolosha can only shoot open three-pointers, and his cutting skills without the ball are average.
Now that Su Bei is playing in the starting lineup, not only can he easily complete the open three-pointer position, but he can also use the technology of cutting without the ball to increase the Thunder's offensive changes.
Well, the main thing is to let Su Bei quickly integrate into the Thunder's offensive tactical system.
The arrangement for copying homework was quite reasonable, but Su Bei curled his lips.
Blind Jiba tactics, you have a root-hair system!
Well, maybe the Blind Jiba tactical system is also a system.
Just like the leader of a beggar gang, the emperor among beggars is also an emperor.
Tactical drills followed music and then performances.
The first lineup consists of Perkins, Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei and Westbrook.
The second team consists of Nazr Mohammed, Nick Collison, Sefolosha, Harden, and Eric Maynor.
Daequan Cook's three-point shooting is decent, but it's just a sideshow.
Lake Jackson, who has the potential to compete for the top spot in the future, is still a rookie.
The remaining Cole Aldridge and Royer Eway are just the ones who make up the numbers.
At this time, the first team attacks.
Westbrook dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, faced his dead substitute Maynor, lowered his head suddenly, dribbled the ball inward, and acted recklessly.
Meno can't compete and can only fight and retreat.
Harden helped defend.
"Going in, Westbrook scored the ball and came out..."
In the three-point corner on the right, Su Bei caught the ball and lifted the ball against Harden who flew back.
When Harden flew out of the baseline, he immediately lifted the ball calmly, jumped up, his body bloomed in the space, and flicked his right wrist.
The basketball drew an arc in the air, and when Harden turned to watch, the basketball went straight into the basket.
Swish——!
The white basketball net was filled with splashes of water.
Three points into the net.
For this shooting skill, Su Bei's annual salary of 15.52 million is worth half of it.
Next, continue the half-court drill offense.
Su Bei did not stand waiting in the right corner for a three-pointer, but cut to the basket. Perkins made a screen to block Harden, and Su Bei moved to the left corner for a three-pointer. at.
Westbrook moves the top arc to the right and has a wide breakthrough space, so he can continue to be a reckless man.
Of course, now that the tactical effects of the drill have helped Su Bei quickly integrate into the Thunder's blind system, there is no point in Westbrook continuing to be reckless.
Westbrook knows numbers well and distributes the ball to Durant on the left wing outside the three-point line.
Get the ball and set up an offensive three-threat.
The opponent was Sofolosha, a defensive warrior.
Durant can play organization forward tactics. If Su Bei is not replaced by Muhammad, the inside player, he can distribute the ball to the left three-point corner.
If Muhammad switches defense, Durant can still deal the cards and turn over Yin Baka's card under the basket. Even if Harden breaks through Perkins' screen and faces Yin Baka, he will still defend with small defense and big mismatch. Send score questions.
If Harden chooses to go around and not give Yin Baka the ball.
Durant, the two-time scoring champion, faced the defensive intensity of Sefolosha's single defense and also had a problem with giving away points.
Moreover, Durant can also dribble the ball to the middle and break through. With his unstoppable offensive ability in one-on-one situations, Sefolosha alone cannot withstand it.
Breaking through with the ball, you can immediately attract Eric Maynor's help to defend and attack.
At this time, Westbrook made an air cut to the basket, received Durant's pass, and scored a dunk from the overlord's zombie.
】
Attacking in positional warfare has become much easier.
In the past, there were only sudden and constant sudden changes, aiming at drawing fouls.
Last season, he was second in the league in free throws made and first in free throws scored.
If there is no breakthrough, we can only rely on Durant's shooting.
When Durant's shooting didn't work, he had to switch to Harden to break through and shoot.
What if it still doesn’t work?
You can only cheat and cheat.
Durant got into the arms of defenders and averaged nearly 9 free throws per game last season.
He doesn't have the ability to attack from behind, he just does everything he can.
With Su Bei's three-point technical help and the shuffling of no-ball cuts, the offensive pattern of the Thunder's explosive combination instantly expanded countless times.
Westbrook has a vast sprint field and can unleash the physical talents of reckless people.
Durant uses his 2.11-meter field of vision to connect Su Bei's three-pointer in the left corner, Yin Baka's misplacement under the basket on the left, and Westbrook's sudden score on the weak side on the right... all of which can be activated and ignited. All the advantages of Durant's point forward tactics.
When you are bald..., no, it is a sudden shot. When you encounter a stable three-point shooting, it is really impressive.
…
Swish——!
Su Bei caught the ball, lifted it up, faced Collison's block, raised his hand and made a three-point shot.
"Beautiful, the addition of Su Bei has given us instant shooting attributes, including a three-point range.
Durant and Westbrook, their offense on the field has become simple and clear.
Jiangsu North is like a rope, connecting our originally separated offense into a three-dimensional offensive system.
It is said that if you have James or Nowitzki, you only need to equip them with four shooters to win the championship.
Now that we have just signed Su Bei, the top shooter, I see a picture in my mind of being able to touch the floor of the finals. ” Scott Brooks laughed and clapped excitedly.
General manager Presti, who was standing next to him, smiled slightly and nodded, but did not reply. His eyes were fixed on the changes that the talents brought by Su Bei brought to the Thunder.
After more than 10 minutes, the three-dimensional picture of the Thunder's offense was visible to the naked eye.
Presti and Brooks were constantly communicating and analyzing the details that occurred on the court.
Presti is notorious for his ruthless vision in drafting. Seeing Su Bei's near-perfect integration into the Thunder's system, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
However, soon, when I saw Westbrook choosing to do it himself with the ball and jumping from the free throw line to shoot, the smile on his face disappeared.
The flaws of youth are still there.
It did not disappear because of the joining of Su Bei.
"You said that with our current lineup and having reached the finals, can we defeat the Heat's Big Three?
Their talents are also unparalleled.
He has also eaten hamburgers for a few more years than our Thunder three. His technical strength, experience and mental fighting spirit are very likely to be better than our young Thunder team.
What are our chances of winning against the Heat? "
“Let’s open Qi San!
We signed Su Bei, and they also signed the same type of Battier. The lineup will be strengthened and it will not take much advantage of the Heat.
The key depends on how far we can grow in the next year.
If the Thunder's three young players grow up quickly, it is very likely that they will open at six or four. "
“Open on June 4!
Really unwilling!
As young people, there is no way for us to achieve success quickly.
When it comes to spending money, the boss has many restrictions. He only relies on the draft to win the NBA championship. This problem is too difficult, and the entire NBA history has not done it!
"
"The future belongs to us?
I guess even James doesn’t believe it!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be burdened with notoriety and bringing his talent to Miami.
After all, the Thunder are just a small team, and next year's contract extension will be enough of a headache for us.
If we don't handle it well, the future will indeed be ours, but we will definitely have no chance of winning the championship. "Scott Brooks said calmly.
"Perhaps this season is our only chance to win the championship."
“It seems that having amazing draft vision is not a good thing.
The four-year rookie contract ended, and in the end it was all for naught.
Tell me, how did those guys from the Dallas Mavericks manage to stop the Heat and steal the championship from the Big Three? "Presti asked, changing the subject.
Scott Brooks is not stupid, and he soon realized that General Manager Presti meant what he said.
"You tell me, is it possible for our Thunder team to replicate the Dallas lineup last year?
How can this be? "
Presti did not answer Brooks, but faced the court, looked at the players, and analyzed it carefully.
“We got Subei this season.
Originally we had Durant in the team, he was equal to the unsolvable Nowitzki in the finals.
Yin Baka and Perkins are equivalent to Chandler.
Westbrook is an enhanced version of Barea, Harden is equivalent to Terry, and Sofolosha is equivalent to Marion.
You see, our Thunder team only lacks one Kidd who can control the court..."
There is only one Kidd missing, how is that possible?
Scott Brooks stared at the court with his eyes wide open and compared them seriously.
Not to mention, what a hell!
Besides being too young, the Thunder really look like him.
Nowitzki has never won a scoring title. Durant has won the scoring title twice. His stability is not as good as Nowitzki, but his offensive destructive power will only be stronger than Nowitzki.
After all, Nowitzki is 33 years old.
Durant entered the league at the age of 18. He is now in his fifth year and is only 23 years old. What can you do to support him when he rushes forward?
It just so happens that he has a good mid-range shot, and no matter how bad he is, he can still draw fouls.
It's enough to match a god-level Nowitzki.
Yin Baka is a bit young, but his talent is there, and he has also focused on practicing defense for two years. He is incomparable to Chandler's mature strength, but he still has one year of growth left!
Nothing is impossible when you are young!
If Yin Baka realizes it, he alone can beat Chandler, and now Perkins is also included. This is really powerful.
"You think, can Westbrook be trained to become Kidd?
If he can control the rhythm of the game, Kidd will not be lacking.
Barea can only break through, and our Thunder team has no shortage of attackers. "
Ugh...that's too hard.
It's better to shake people up in the free transfer market!
“If Westbrook doesn’t make it.
Don’t we still have James Harden?
The two of them together are no worse than Kidd! "
"Then try..."
If you can't beat them, join them; if you can't beat them, imitate them.
The Celtics teamed up, the Heat copied their homework, and the Bulls and Knicks did the same thing.
Success is not complicated. It is a shortcut to follow the path of others and leave people with nowhere to go.
In addition to the fact that the Heat's Big Three are the most popular team now, the team play of the Mavericks, which can win the first blood of the Heat's Big Three, is also very popular, so it is not surprising to watch and learn from them.
After all, times have changed, adults, you can have hemp from both!
If it fails to be copied, it will be nothing more than a return to the original blind Jiba style of play, and the Thunder will not suffer any losses.
Next, in the Thunder's training session, in addition to allowing Su Bei to integrate into the Thunder's original Blind Jiba tactical system, he also tried to copy the Mavericks' homework.
Su Bei came from the Dallas Mavericks team, so he was naturally asked for his opinion.
When asked whether Westbrook could grow into Kidd, Su Bei did not hesitate and immediately shook his head in denial.
"Westbrook can't be Kidd.
He can only be himself.
If someone has to be Kidd, I think it might be better to let Harden be Kidd and control the court. "
"What!" Scott Brook was surprised. Can Harden play a good point guard?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Su Bei's eyes were full of determination, affirming Harden's potential.
However, without Artest's help, Harden will probably have a hard time figuring it out.
Even if you are enlightened, it will take time.
In the next year, Harden will probably have a hard time playing.
Su Bei proposed another candidate.
“Instead of training yourself and disrupting the original training plan, it is better to shake people in the free market.
I think Billups is a perfect fit.
If you talk to Billups about the Mavericks' tactical homework, he should be moved.
If you are not tempted...you have to pay more..."
On December 12, in order to bring in Chandler, the Knicks cleared their salary and laid off Billups, who had an annual salary of more than 13 million.
After a 48-hour clarification period, Billups received competing bids from a large group of teams.
In the end, the Clippers had the last laugh, taking down Billups in a flash.
However, that happened in Su Bei's previous life.
Billups agreed to join the Clippers, it must be to give Chris Paul face.
In this life, the Clippers, who did not get Paul and formed a city of lobs, were a mess and did not have the opportunity to quickly sign Billups.
You know, none of the stars who were laid off have yet played their worth.
They generally can only sign for a minimum salary.
Billups, as the FMVP in 2004, would definitely not be able to accept this kind of treatment, so he would be much more cautious when choosing the next company.
Joining the Heat is the best choice.
As soon as he joined, he basically declared the championship finale.
If Cousins joined the Warriors that year, the effect would be the same.
However, Billups has won a championship after all, so he has more choices.
Anyway, with the salary from the Knicks, he doesn't have to make a choice in a hurry.
Haven't found the next home yet.
For the Thunder, this is an opportunity.
Compared to the future, when the Thunder found that their point guard position was indeed insufficient, it would be much better to sign the veteran Fisher after playing for half a season.
If Billups can join, this Thunder team really doesn't have many weaknesses.
If you go all out against the Heat, you can at least get a 50-50 win!
It depends on the ability of the Thunder's management and whether the owner is willing to spend money.
