Chapter 394 How the talented team plays (please subscribe, please support)

The Thunder attacked, Durant received the ball at the top of the arc, used Garnett's pick-and-roll to dodge James' defense, faced Horford's defensive switch and forced a shot, making an accurate hit! (5:5)

With height, long arms, strong athletic ability, and excellent shooting touch, Durant's personal offense can only be described in two words, "unsolvable"!

The Thunder have developed the talents of several young masters to the extreme, while the Knicks are more particular about allowing players to play according to the correct ideas. James held the ball and beat Durant in isolation, using his physical advantage to force the inside, attracting the defense and then timely passing the ball to the outside.

Curry caught the ball and first opened up Sefolosha's defense, and then passed it to Holiday, who was completely open after Durant also pounced on the defense. Holiday even had time to take a shot of the ball to adjust the rhythm.

, a steady shot.

"Whoosh!"

Holiday is not good at three-pointers, but if you dare to let him go, he can make it. Otherwise, even if he has top defense and can break through, he will never be able to start in Ke Yan's team.

Westbrook held the ball through the half and used Garnett's pick-and-roll to get rid of Holiday's defense. The zombie jumper was interfered by Horford, but Ibaka once again grabbed the offensive rebound and directly dunked without landing, once again mobilizing the fans at the scene.

of enthusiasm.

"Get out of here if you fucking miss another rebound!" This was already the second backcourt rebound lost in the opening game. Ke Yan was a little unhappy and shouted towards the inside line of the court.

In the NBA, being unable to guard your opponent is a matter of ability, but being unable to stay in position and being knocked down continuously is either an attitude issue or there is an obvious flaw in your tactics!

Ke Yan cursed on the sidelines, and the attitude of the Knicks players immediately cheered up a lot. James advanced to the frontcourt and used West's fake screen to step forward from the free throw line and change direction to the left to force his way into the penalty area. After attracting the defense, he passed the ball from behind.

Gently send the ball back.

This pass was so concealed that Ibaka didn't even see what was going on. The ball had already left his hand. Curry followed up with an air cut and made a three-step layup. He got rid of Sefolosha by running without the ball.

, score easily. (10:7).

Sefolosha's defense is very good, but Curry's extremely fast shooting speed and stable shooting rate made him choose a "lesser of two evils" strategy during the defensive process, focusing on killing Curry's outside shooting.

, if Curry cuts inside, he will rely on the help of Ibaka and Garnett.

But the Knicks are not like last season. They still have James as an offensive starting point to amplify Curry's off-ball threat!

Durant went to the right three-point line to catch the ball with his back, turned around and challenged James, forced a step outside and was blocked by James, and then made a simple fadeaway jumper, which hit the inside edge of the basket and popped out.

.

James grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack. He broke up the Thunder's defensive formation like a horse. Curry received the ball on the left and took a step to shake away the sloppy Westbrook. He lowered his center of gravity and held the ball from him like a wolf.

Rushed past him and scored a quick layup.

Durant went to the right to catch the ball and hit James again, bringing it to 45 degrees to attract a double-team from Holiday. The ball was passed to Westbrook on the outside. This was an excellent opportunity, but Westbrook missed an open three-pointer and missed the rebound.

The ball was grabbed by Horford again.

The Knicks quickly went down with four players, running and gunning to counterattack.

Curry dribbled the ball through half court. When everyone thought he would pass the ball, he suddenly shot a three-pointer from the left side. Westbrook retreated too far and wanted to position himself first to protect the frame. When he saw Curry

He took a shot and then dived to interfere with the shot. It was too slow, and the three-pointer hit the net. 15:7.

CCTV broadcast the game live, and Chinese fans were so happy when they saw the Knicks beating the Thunder. Although after Yao Ming was injured, the development of Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue in the NBA was not smooth, but with Ke Yan here,

Everyone still has a home team. And Ke Yan’s team attracts far more fans than the Rockets in terms of style of play!

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Brooks made substitution adjustments, replacing Sefolosha with James Harden, and launched the "Strongest Thunder".

Both rookies in the 2009 class, Harden's brilliance is far less than that of Curry, who made the All-NBA third team in his rookie season, and Griffin, who shocked the league with his explosive performance after a year of injury. Looking at the data alone, there are even some "parallel imports"

Suspicion, but if you are a fan who pays attention to Thunder games, you can still see the obvious improvement of this No. 3 draft pick. Paired with Dewey, who has a lot of ball rights, Harden's presence can lubricate the team's too "rigid" offense.

style, bringing about obvious changes.

After coming on the court, Harden did not disappoint Brooks. He caught the ball and singled out Curry from the left corner, and made a pull-up jump shot.

The Knicks attacked, and Curry played a pick-and-roll with James again. He held the ball and walked to the right, attracting Durant to switch defense and distribute the ball to the middle. James held the ball and forced Westbrook away. He jumped up with the ball and wanted to dunk with one hand.

Bacca jumped up from the side, pressed his left hand accurately on the basketball, and blocked James' dunk.

Garnett retreated to get the basketball and passed it to Westbrook, who was already speeding up.

The latter caught the ball and came down quickly. When he leaned into Holiday, he forcibly adjusted his step point. He used the rhythm to change the European step and succeeded in passing. He jumped high and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands. (15:11)

"What is talent!" Brooks leaned back slightly, his eyes blazing.

After Harden came on the court, the Thunder started to gain momentum. James, who had spared his efforts against the Suns in the last game, took the ball again and led the team's offense. He feinted in front of the frame, broke through in the middle, and forcefully knocked away Durant's defense, starting quickly.

In three steps, he made a one-handed dunk. Ibaka defended to the basket, jumped a little too slowly and missed the block. There was still physical contact between the two, and the referee called Ibaka a foul.

James also hit the extra free throw, 18 to 11.

"More than talent, James represents humans on the forum to fight against beasts, robots, and aliens!"

The Knicks' offensive performance was pretty good, but when it came to the defensive end, they really couldn't hold on to the Thunder's "talented basketball." There is a saying that "one force can knock down ten", which is very suitable to describe the first quarter of the game.

No matter how well the Knicks' defensive formation is arranged, if you can't handle Westbrook, you can rush and jump, and you can get in with one step of space; if you can't guard Durant, he is really accurate from mid-range and long-range, and he can still block it in the face.

Invest.

Selecting three MVPs in three consecutive years is something that cannot be done by humans! It is precisely because of Presti’s more magical vision that many people will rank Ke Yan’s draft vision second in the future. Or rather

, Ke Yan at least has a template. Popovich also discovered a lot of potential newcomers at low picks back then; and Presti's vision and luck are unique.

32:37, after the first quarter, the Thunder are 5 points behind at home!

Although the team still held the lead, Ke Yan did not feel relaxed because of this. During the break, his expression was slightly solemn, and he specifically told the substitute players to try their best to take advantage. The Thunder's relative weakness

It's the substitute lineup.

The reason why the construction of the bench lineup was ignored is also very simple, because all the Thunder X players can play for more than 40 minutes. Before encountering the "Jones fracture", even Durant was a physical monster!

In the second quarter, Keyan sent Stephenson, Korver, Matthews, Casspi, and Mozgov.

Thunder five: Maynor, Harden, Peterson, Collison, Krstic.

Ke Yan chose to trust Stephenson instead of Jeremy Lin because he wanted to use his "people come crazy" attribute to drive the rhythm of the game. At the beginning, the junior brother held the ball from the right side and dribbled the ball from 70 degrees to the middle, and played a pick-and-roll with Casspi. The latter

After the pick-and-roll, he caught the ball and shot a three-pointer directly, but failed to hit.

When the Thunder attacked, Collison pulled out to cover Harden, and was immediately left open on the outside. Casspi and Matthews double-teamed Harden, covering the beard tightly.

However, Brother Deng performed a unique stunt, hitting Casspi's hand directly with his arm, and then made a shot without looking for any margin, successfully causing Casspi to foul.

The Israeli turned around and waved, looking helpless. He had never seen such a foul committed before.

Harden is Jordan on the 1-point line.

No, it should be said that Harden's dominance of the free throw line is far better than Jordan's dominance of basketball. There are endless shots like meat clips, arm clips, and shrimps. In order to restrict Harden from committing fouls, the league has introduced various targeted measures.

Adjustments were made, but the result was that other imitated foul-drawing masters were restricted one by one, but Harden remained standing.

Just like the ITTF, in order to break the dominance of China's table tennis, it sometimes changes the points rules; sometimes changes the size of the ball; sometimes changes the glue, rubber, and changes over and over again. China's table tennis is still invincible, the Empire Destruction Dragon,

The empire is a fierce tiger, and people's artists can always win all kinds of honors. On the contrary, table tennis in Japan and South Korea is gradually being beaten to death by changing the rules.

Harden made two free throws to help the team narrow the point difference.

Stevens dribbled the ball to the right side, opened up a little space in the face of Meno's defense, and forced his way inside, attracting Kostic to defend and then passed the ball to Mozgov, who received the pass and faked it.

Dazzled Collison, jumped up, and dunked with both hands. 34:39.

The Thunder attacked, and the Knicks changed to a zone defense and defended the penalty area. Harden singled out Stephenson at the upper limit, dribbled under the hips continuously and changed directions, and successfully broke through from the right. Matthews shrank and double-teamed near the penalty area with Mozgov.

The latter passed the ball to Peterson in the right corner. Peterson's three-point shot missed, and Mozgov got stuck to protect the backcourt rebound.

The Knicks were in a positional battle again. After the formation was spread out, the ball was passed to Mozgov. The Russian received the ball in the low post and turned to the middle. He jumped up to throw with his right hand and missed the throw from Krstic. Peterson moved in to protect the rebound.

.

Ke Yan felt that there was some trouble. The Thunder's bench strategy was for Harden to lead the offense and the others to defend. After giving the main players a certain amount of rest time, they continued "Westbrook throws, Westbrook throws, Westbrook throws Durant."

Swing!"

When the Thunder attack, Harden initiates a pick-and-roll with Krstic to contain the defense and then distribute the ball. After all, the latter was the Nets' main inside man, and his hand skills are much better than Collison's. He walked to the basket three steps slower to pick up the basket.

Score.

Ke Yan made a direct substitution, replacing Casspi with James, allowing James to lead the team's offense!

His adjustment was "quick, accurate and ruthless". James came on the stage and directly activated the "Royal Salute". Korver caught the ball and took a shot at a fixed point, steadily hitting a three-pointer!

Looking back, James and Matthews went up to the line to attack Harden, forcing the opponent to make a passing error. Harden's brain was short-circuited and he pulled James' fans, ignoring that he was the last defender, and was whistled for a technical foul.

Korver executed a technical foul and made both free throws. Before the Thunder could recover from the blow, James' overbearing breakthrough once again caused Collison to foul, directly forcing Brooks to re-engage Westbrook and Durant.

Change back to the field.

James made two free throws and the score reached 36:43.

The main force returned, and the Thunder's offense was still dominated by Harden. Harden and Durant played a pick-and-roll. Matthews was unable to catch up and Harden made a jump shot.

James brought the ball to the frontcourt, forced his way inside, disrupted the Thunder's defense, and then passed the ball to Stephenson. The latter fired Harden's pass and "NO-look-passed" the ball to Mozgov. The Russian

Score easily with no one on guard.

The junior who sent the wonderful assist immediately began to show off, staying where the pass was and started dancing. Even after Mozgov high-fived him, he still looked at the Thunder players with provocative eyes, and then slowly returned to defense.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook singled out Stephenson, made a zombie jumper, and scored another one.

There are three future MVPs, which is really amazing!
