Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

After scoring 6 points in a row, Zuo Li showed a happy smile to Durant.卍

Durant was very angry. He 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 catching the ball at the three-point line, so he had to start from

The offensive end found the field.

So poor Curry became a target. The Thunder's offensive tactics were actually very simple, that is, "Give the damn basketball to Durant" or "Westbrook, smash the damn ball to me."

Get in!"

Simple and crude, but very easy to use.

After all, the second Shao is a phenomenal player with great talent, and this tactic is very suitable for them, especially Westbrook. After all, Westbrook is easily impulsive when his brain gets hot, so XJBD is the secret skill that suits him best.

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

For example, tonight, Brooks adopted a pick-and-roll defense strategy, aiming at the defensive weakness of Curry, the Knicks starter, and constantly used outside pick-and-rolls to create opportunities for Durant to beat 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 opponent's outside core.

Curry is indeed not very good at defense. This has little to do with his attitude. It is mainly due to the limitations of his physical condition. Curry in this life is much stronger than the same period in the previous life, but it is still not enough. Zuo Li does not dare to let Curry

If you continue to gain weight blindly, it will affect Curry's flexibility and increase his risk of injury.

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

Some results were achieved at the beginning. Although not as efficient as Zuo Li, Durant continued to score goals, allowing the Thunder to maintain a gap of about 8 points.

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

After scoring the goal, Westbrook celebrated with an explosion. The muscles in his arms bulged, and the visual effect exploded.

“I don’t know why the Knicks didn’t double-team Durant tonight like they did in the regular season, but I have to say that the Thunder’s tactics were good, allowing Durant to constantly look for pick-and-rolls to beat Curry. There was nothing Curry could do against him.

, I can only watch him vote." Yu Jia said.

"That's okay, you hit yours and I'll 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.

He felt very comfortable watching this game. Both teams were his favorites, and it was the most enjoyable to see the stars playing against Biao.

But there are differences between Zuo Li and Adu.

Soon, people discovered the difference.

After making four consecutive shots and scoring 8 points, Durant was tired, which caused him to soften his grip and give Randolph a rebound.

This is normal. 4 out of 5 shots is a very good stat for any outside shooter. However, against Zuo Li, especially Zuo Li who has a great touch and has no solution, this stat is not enough!

After Zuo Li hit three of three in the second quarter, the Knicks made a substitution. Zuo Li went down to rest for two minutes. After coming back, Perkins was hit hard again. Taking advantage of his slow pace, Zuo Li continued to tease his opponent with his steps, and again

It was a wave of 4 for 4, forcing Ibaka to attack from a double flank.

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

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

Then Zuo Li gave Randolph two assists again...

One after another, in this quarter, Zuo Li made all 9 shots and had 6 assists. In a single quarter, he had 18 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds...

Durant's 13 points in a single quarter were good enough, but Zuo Li was too strong, scoring 27,108 at halftime!

The Knicks continued to lead 60-49 at halftime.

In the second half, the Thunder had no choice but to continue to double-team Zuo Li under the basket.

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

"You don't dare to use Westbrook, right, but do you think Danny Green is a freeloader?" Zuo Li didn't hesitate when he saw this scene, and directly hit Danny Green.

It's a bit of a pity though, maybe there weren't many shots taken in the first half, so this shot couldn't be converted into a goal.

Now Brooks got excited and loudly reminded his players to just defend like this.

But Zuo Li was unmoved, and gave it to Danny Green in the next round, who shot again, and then the basketball spun three times in the frame and still came out.

The Thunder counterattacked in two consecutive rounds, narrowing the point difference 4-0.

"Boss, I..."

"It's okay, keep coming."

Danny Green was embarrassed and wanted to explain to Zuo Li, but Zuo Li supported him with practical actions.

In the next round, Zuo Li continued to turn around and hit Danny Green in the bottom corner. The latter took a determined shot and finally hit a three-pointer!

"It counts as a goal, but the efficiency is not very good." Director Zhang said, three shots and one goal, this efficiency is acceptable for the Thunder.

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

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

Durant looked at Battier and then at Danny Green...

If you’re not a buddy, why are there two of you?

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

In the fourth quarter, the Thunder didn't know how to defend. The Knicks opened two points on the outside, and the inside left wing scored 33 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds in three quarters. It was a triple-double in three quarters. How to defend like this!

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 replaced by David Lee.

Thunder took a look and quickly went 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 couldn't defend well. Dragic continuously singled out Fisher, scoring, scoring, scoring!

"Substitute, substitute, substitute!" Brooks hurriedly replaced the old fish.

If you play like this again, Zuoli's score will reach 50!

But Westbrook's coming up can't solve the problem, the Knicks have already opened up all the players!

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

"The situation is over..."

Yu Jia sighed.

It seems that the Thunder played well and performed what they should have done.卍

But when I look at the score...ha! The difference is 20 points!

Durant tried his best and Westbrook ignored him, but he just couldn't withstand the Knicks' collective flash.

In the end, the Knicks won easily, 118-98, holding on to their home court with 20 points, taking a 1-0 lead in the series.

After the game, Durant was reluctant to watch the Knicks celebrate. He felt that he played very well, with 34 points and a shooting percentage of 48%. Apart from not scoring a few three-pointers, there was no major problem.

Westbrook, even though he scored twice, still had 24 points and 10 assists tonight, and only made 4 turnovers, which is relatively few.

But why can't I beat it...
