"Damn it, did Coach Du really improve Nash's defense?"
"The steal that Nash made just now when he stole Westbrook's back was obviously not Nash's previous style!"
"Quick, accurate, and ruthless. Nash's steal just now was quick, accurate, and ruthless. His fast break three-pointer was also quick, accurate, and ruthless. It's amazing!"
"If Coach Xiao Du has really perfected Nash's defense, then Coach Xiao Du's ability to train players is also too strong. It's not an exaggeration to say he is the best in history, right?!"
Developing Nash's defensive ability may be one of the most impossible things in the NBA.
O'Neal's free throw.
Nash's defense.
Kidd's three-pointer.
…
…
These NBA conundrums.
Maybe Nash's defense ranks first.
O'Neal can't make free throws. You can't say that O'Neal has 0 free throws.
Kidd can't do three-pointers, and you can't say that Kidd doesn't have three-pointers.
But Nash, his defense is really nothing at all!
How bad is Nash's defense?
Even if Nash had just completed that steal, people would feel that it was not strength, but maybe just luck.
So whether it was the netizens from Apu, the netizens from the United States, or the three commentators from TNT on the scene, they were all discussing fiercely whether the steal Nash just made was the same as the block he once made. In fact, it was just a one-time attempt. Beautiful accident.
Is Westbrook just like Hayward before him, just unlucky.
However, one person doesn't think so. .
That person was O'Neal who perfectly predicted this game before the game.
"I think Steve was trained defensively by Coach D. What a wise man Coach D is. I think there is no one in the world who knows better than me. Sun Tzu has a saying in the Art of War: Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. I definitely don't I believe that Coach D will tell Kobe to get out when he is not sure that Nash has the defensive ability!"
"It must be that Nash already has a certain defensive ability, so Coach D will take action against Kobe again in this game!"
"I believe that when Nash has a certain defensive ability, even the die-hard Komi will not think that Coach D still needs Kobe, right?"
"Guys, maybe, this game will be Kobe's last game with the Lakers!"
After O'Neal finished speaking, Kenny Smith and Barkley next to him were stunned.
This damn fat guy can actually understand Sun Tzu's Art of War!
What he said actually made sense.
It looks like he really did his homework.
At this moment, Westbrook, who was once again playing Nash alone on the court, did not dare to sit as deep as he did last time. Instead, after pushing twice in a row, he turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.
It is still a very difficult attack.
The kind of shot that makes the head coach tingle when he watches it.
This kind of shooting is no problem for Jordan, Kobe, or Durant, but you are Westbrook!
Bang!
Still forging iron!
Howard grabbed a backcourt rebound and roared at Ibaka next to him.
Excited, excited, so excited!
As the upcoming boss of the Lakers, he must show his toughness!
"The great beast is not a softie!"
This time Nash once again defended against Westbrook's attack, preventing the Thunder from being caught off guard like last time.
Durant, who struggled with Kobe on the offensive end, quickly retreated in a running back style after Westbrook struck the ball.
The final result was that the Lakers failed to get a fast break opportunity.
After Kobe dribbled the ball through halftime, he looked at Nash, who was standing still, being stared at by Westbrook, and then at Yi Jianlian, who was being pestered by Ibaka.
Kobe turned around and turned from facing Durant to facing away from Durant.
Since it's XJBD, it's his turn to fight solo this time.
"Bryant, after Westbrook is focused on defense, Steve won't move to save energy. You can fight however you want. I don't care, but you have to shoot the basketball in your hand!"
The coach's words in the locker room still ring in my ears.
After Kobe shook Durant away with two consecutive shoulder fakes, he immediately stepped back and shot a fadeaway jumper.
It is still so picturesque and full of rhythmic beauty.
But the moment he took action, Durant's long hands almost touched the basketball he threw.
This is talent.
An enviable talent.
Even if Durant is shaken, he can still rely on his super static talent to make up for his lack of defensive skills.
Bang!
Hearing the sound of iron coming from behind, Durant, who was guarding Kobe just now, went straight to the fast break.
Kobe, who had just attacked, retreated immediately after taking the shot.
However, with Durant's height, shooting ability and dribbling skills, if the ball arrives quickly at this time, he can use his long legs to shake off Kobe and drive straight to the basket.
But at this time, Westbrook, who grabbed the backcourt rebound, only had eyes for Nash.
Durant jumped sharply from outside the three-point line on the right side.
Westbrook still only has Nash in his eyes.
Seeing Nash taking a step back in front, Westbrook rushed over!
The previous zombie jump shots and post-ups failed one after another, so stop pretending and just start killing!
Seeing Westbrook driving straight to the basket like this, Durant, who was jumping outside, finally stopped jumping and instead opened his hands with other Thunder players.
Ready to receive a pass from Westbrook.
"He can't pass the ball!"
Howard stood confidently in his position, ready to press Westbrook's attack to the basket.
James and Wade in front of the TV were dumbfounded when they saw Westbrook rushing in to kill Howard, knowing that there was Howard standing in front of him.
Finally, the two looked at each other and thought the same thing at the same time.
"It's indeed him!"
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we prefer to go to the mountains with tigers. This is Westbrook's playing style!
And his current talent can really support such a playing style.
After confronting Howard in the air, Westbrook saw that there was really no chance to score directly and hit the south wall.
Most people will get a bloody head if they hit the south wall.
But this is Westbrook, the NBA's turtle, Westbrook!
After he collided with Howard, he was still able to pass the ball in the air!
Ordinary defenders, after colliding with Howard, will fly away even if they are not blocked by Howard.
After Westbrook and Howard collided, he was still able to turn around in the air and pass the ball before it flew!
Even Howard was stunned by Westbrook's scene.
In the NBA, he has never seen such a fierce defender!
Wade was not so fierce in front of him!
"Master Wei is more energetic this season than last season!"
"Only Westbrook can hit this kind of ball in the entire NBA!"
"The Lakers' defense was disrupted by Westbrook. This ball is difficult to defend."
Yang Huahua didn't finish her words.
On the big TV screen, a pair of hands intercepted the basketball passed by Master West to Durant!
Seeing that the ball he passed was directly intercepted, it was Westbrook's turn to fly out this time and he was dumbfounded.
When he saw who the person who flew out was, Master Wei was even more dumbfounded.
In other words, everyone was dumbfounded again at this time.
This person is Nash who took the initiative to get out of the way when Westbrook broke through just now!
"Nash, Nash again, Nash intercepted Russell's pass!"
"Oh my God! After the game started, Nash dominated the defensive end!"
The moment Nash completed the steal of Westbrook, Kobe very cleverly hugged Durant.
Westbrook threw it out, and Durant was stuck by Kobe.
And Ibaka was taken over by Yi Jianlian.
Perkins is too slow.
The only one left who can chase Nash is Sefolosha.
But Sefolosha is on the other side, albeit faster than Nash now.
But when he caught up with Nash, Nash once again jumped up slightly from outside the three-point line and pushed the basketball in his hand!
A swipe!
This is Nash's second steal in this game, and this is Nash's second fast break three-pointer in this game!
14 to 8!
The Thundering Thunder, who always like to beat others, were actually beaten 9-0 by the aging Lakers after leading 8-5!
During this period of time, the best player on the court was undoubtedly Nash!
The defensive end suppressed Westbrook's offense, and the offensive end hit three three-pointers in a row.
"Child of the Wind, the wind is blowing again!"
O'Neal's shouting echoed throughout Staples.
Barkley and Kenny Smith next to O'Neal allowed O'Neal to be arrogant at this time.
There is no way, because O'Neal's prediction was right just now!
Because Du Kang really improved Nash's defense!
Steal on Westbrook's post.
Stealing pass from Westbrook.
Each one can be described as fast, accurate and ruthless!
As long as they are not blind, fans can see that Nash's defense style at this time is completely different from before.
Now Nash's defense is aggressive!
"Can Coach D really improve Nash's defense? This is the 39-year-old Nash!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at each other.
Pat Riley, Popovich, Larry Brown and others in front of the TV were even more dumbfounded at this time.
"Is this Steve?"
Even D'Antoni thought he was dreaming at this time.
"Insidious, this kid is so insidious. He obviously has such a strong training ability, why doesn't he come to help us!"
The expression on the face of D'Antoni's brother, Don D'Antoni, was full of anger at this time.
D'Antoni, unlike his brother, was not so angry.
When he was with the Lakers, although Du Kang was not considered a remnant of Mike Brown, he was still a sympathizer of Mike Brown's remnants.
At the beginning, they wanted to mess with Du Kang and make him take the blame.
Therefore, there was no problem with Du Kang's choice at that time.
And I thought of Du Kang’s method of training Nash’s defense online.
Many netizens joked that it was the 'dog walking method'.
Given Du Kang's status with the Lakers at the time, if he formulated such a training method for Nash, Nash would get angry no matter how good-tempered he was.
All I can say is that time is destiny.
Thinking about the Laker who had no fighting spirit with him, he looked at the Laker who was united as one on TV.
D'Antoni closed his eyes.
It's not time and destiny.
"I'm really not as good as him."
"..."
Don D'Antoni thought he heard wrongly.
He looked at his brother in shock.
…
…
Late at night on the Los Angeles highway, a high-end executive car was speeding.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, we have to get to the hospital before Jim and see Dad!"
“Jenny, I’m already the fastest!”
This is the last chance!
I want everything from the Lakers!
Including that brave and talented young man!
…
…
"Mr. Bass, it's time for you to go to sleep."
"Don't worry about me, let me take one last look at my team and see his future."
The nurse closed the door helplessly.
"Jerry, you were right again."
…
…
Staples, timeout over.
Nash was hugged by Du Kang in the envious eyes of other Lakers players.
Nash looked excited and extremely moved.
With the defensive Son of the Wind, the wind can also rise in Los Angeles!
"Steve, it's time for the wind to rise in Los Angeles."
…
