Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

After scoring 6 points in a row, Zuo Li smiled happily at Durant. side of bridge

Durant was very angry. He really wanted to double-team, but he didn't dare. Battier was too ruthless in the first quarter, which made him a little scared when he saw Battier catch the ball at the three-point line, so he had to start from The offensive end finds the field.

So poor Curry became a target, and the Thunder's offensive strategy was actually very simple, that is, "give that **** basketball to Durant" or "Westbrook, give me that **** ball" go in!"

Simple and crude, but very easy to use.

After all, Er Shao is a phenomenal player with great talent, and this tactic is very suitable for them, especially Westbrook. After all, Westbrook tends to be impulsive when his mind is hot, and the secret technique of XJBD is most suitable for him.

But having said that, the Thunder still have some ingenuity on the offensive end.

For example, tonight, Brooks adopted a pick-and-roll strategy, aiming at the defensive weakness of Curry, the Knicks starter, and constantly using outside pick-and-rolls to create opportunities for Durant to hit Curry one by one.

This trick is not new, because the Knicks will constantly switch defenses when defending. Danny Green and Battier can defend anyone on the outside at any time, but this also puts Curry in danger of being exposed to the core of the opposite outside line. side of bridge

Curry is really not good at defense. This has little to do with his attitude. It is mainly due to physical limitations. Curry in this life is much stronger than the same period in the previous life, but it is still not enough. Zuo Li dare not let Curry Continue to gain weight blindly, or it will affect Curry's flexibility and increase his risk of injury.

Durant took advantage of this and kept looking for misplaced opportunities to single Curry in the second quarter.

At the beginning, some effects were achieved. Although it was not as efficient as Zuo Li, Durant kept scoring goals to keep the Thunder at about 8 points.

Not only that, taking advantage of a Knicks mistake, Westbrook received a pass from Durant and dunked one-stop, allowing the Thunder to narrow the score to 6 points.

After the goal, Westbrook celebrated with an explosion, the muscles of both arms bulged, and the visual effect exploded.

"I don't know why the Knicks didn't double-team Durant like in the regular season tonight, but I have to say that the Thunder's tactics are good. Durant keeps finding pick-and-rolls to play Curry. There is no way for this matchup to Curry. , I can only watch him vote." Yu Jia said.

"That's fine, you hit yours, I hit mine, I can't stop you Zuo Li, and you can't stop me Durant, isn't that a coincidence." Director Zhang said cheerfully. side of bridge

He enjoyed watching this game very comfortably. Both teams are his favorite teams. It is the most exciting thing to see stars face off against each other.

However, Zuo Li and Adu are still different.

It didn't take long for people to notice the difference.

After making four consecutive shots and scoring 8 points, Durant was tired, which caused him to be soft, and the basketball hit the iron, giving Randolph a rebound.

This is normal. 4 out of 5 shots is a very good stat for any outside line. However, against Zuo Li, especially the left Li who feels overwhelming and has no solution, this data is not enough!

In the second quarter, after Zuo Li made a three-for-three, the Knicks made a substitution. Zuo Li went down to rest for two minutes. It was a wave of 4 for 4, forcing Ibaka to flank.

Then Zuo Li assisted Randolph to score two consecutively. Brooks had to let Ibaka defend Zuo Li, and then Zuo Li used his height and wingspan to play a hook under the basket. side of bridge

Now it's all right, Perkins has to go to the side to help defend.

Then Zuo Li sent Randolph two assists again...

Come and go, in this quarter, Zuo Li made all 9 shots and had 6 assists, 18 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in a single quarter...

Durant's 13 points in a single quarter are good enough, but Zuo Li is too strong, 27+10+8 in the half!

The Knicks continued to lead the first half 60-49.

In the second half, the Thunder were forced to have no choice but to continue to double-team the left side frantically under the basket.

This time they don't use Adu, but Sefolosha, who has the best defense in the back line. side of bridge

"Don't dare to use Westbrook, right? But, do you think Danny Green is free?" Zuo Li didn't hesitate when he saw this scene, and threw it directly at Danny Green.

But it's a pity that there may not be many shots in the first half, and this shot failed to convert into a goal.

This time Brooks got excited and loudly reminded the players to defend like this.

But Zuo Li was unmoved, and the next round was still given to Danny Green, who made another shot, and then the basketball came out after three laps in the basket.

The Thunder counterattacked for two consecutive rounds, narrowing the point difference with a wave of 4-0.

"Boss, I..."

"It's okay, keep going."

Danny Green wanted to explain to Zuo Li in embarrassment, but Zuo Li supported him with practical actions.

In the next round, Zuo Li continued to turn around and hit Danny Green in the corner, who made a resolute shot and finally hit a three-pointer!

"It's counted in. This efficiency is not very good." Director Zhang said, shooting three shots into one, this efficiency is acceptable for the Thunder.

However, Zuo Li's encouragement, coupled with the confidence he had just scored, allowed Danny Green to find his touch.

In this quarter, Danny Green made 4 of 6 shots and stunned the Thunder with 12 points in a single quarter.

Durant looks at Battier and looks at Danny Green...

No buddies, why do you have two! side of bridge

After three quarters, 85-70, the point difference further widened.

In the fourth quarter, the Thunder didn't know how to defend. The Knicks made two points from the outside line, and scored 33 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds from the inside line in three quarters. They had a triple-double in three quarters.

But the good news is that Battier and Danny Green didn't play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and Randolph, who scored 11 points, was also replaced by David Lee.

When Lei Ting saw it, he hurried to the main force!

Fisher replaced Westbrook, and Brooks hoped that he could use his experience to help the Thunder.

Fisher really worked hard and made a three-pointer as soon as he came up.

But he can't defend well. Dragic hits Fisher on the list continuously, scoring suddenly, scoring suddenly, scoring suddenly! side of bridge

"Substitution, substitution, substitution!" Brooks hurriedly replaced Lao Yu.

If you play like this again, you can score 50 points from the left stand!

But Westbrook couldn't solve the problem when he came up, the Knicks have already opened it up!

Even David Lee, who didn't seem to be playing much, scored in double figures...

"The tide is gone..."

Yu Jia said with emotion.

It seems that the Thunder played well and played everything they should. side of bridge

But look at the score... Heh! 20 points difference!

Durant was desperate, and Westbrook didn't care, but he just couldn't stand the Knicks group flashing.

In the end, the Knicks won easily, 118-98, 20 points to defend the home court, and the series took a 1-0 lead.

After the game, Durant watched the Knicks celebrate with reluctance. He felt that he played very well, with 34 points and a shooting percentage of 48%. Except for not scoring a few three-pointers, there was nothing serious about it.

Westbrook, even though he was a bit late, scored 24 points and 10 assists tonight, and made only 4 turnovers, which is not much.

But why can't I beat it...
