Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

When the first official timeout came, the Thunder only scored 4 points, while the Knicks had already scored 20 points.

20-4, this much-anticipated game that has been warmed up for two or three days has a tendency to end the suspense in one quarter.

What's even worse is that as the absolute protagonist before the game, Durant hasn't scored yet. Compared with the performance of Zuo Li next door, who scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists, it's not too pitiful. I don't know how many Thunder fans saw this.

My mind has exploded and I chose to quit the live broadcast room.

David Stern, who was watching TV in the office, was numb, his expressions were all gone, and the smile on his face turned into a bitter smile.

This is too crazy~!

On the bench, Zuo Li also smiled and wiped his sweat: "There is really a problem with Westbrook's choice. To a certain extent, this guy is really not suitable to be the boss."

In the years before time travel in the previous life, 'Westbrook should be the best defensive player' was widely circulated among fans in the league and around the world, especially when the Warriors overturned a 3-1 lead in the 2016 playoffs.

It was really a crusade across the Internet, and many people said that if Westbrook hadn't been so stupid at the last moment, Durant would not have lost.

At that time, Zuo Li felt that it was a bit too much.

From a statistical point of view, in the fourth quarter of the 2016 Western Conference Finals, Westbrook made 12 of 30 shots in 7 games, with a shooting percentage of 40%, while Durant made 12 of 43 shots in 7 games, with a shooting percentage of only 27%.

Whether it's the number of shots taken or the hit rate, there's no telling who will cheat who.

For comparison, although Lao Zhan "hurdles" in the finals, he still couldn't fake a total of 22 of 44 shots in the fourth quarter of 7 games.

The data doesn't lie. Westbrook was still very strong during his peak period, but why do fans generally feel that Westbrook is the most deceitful one.

Zuo Li finally figured it out tonight, that is, taking action and making choices.

Westbrook sometimes competes with Durant for the ball and the right to take shots, and sometimes Westbrook's shots are unreasonable. It's like that. When others think you should pass, you just shoot it yourself, but he just doesn't score.

Then others score in. If there are many such scenarios, others will naturally think that you have tricked others.

Just like tonight, everyone thought it was a battle between Zuo Li and Durant. You, Westbrook, had to stand up and steal the show. Just grab it, but Zuo Li’s biological mother didn’t even recognize him.

No wonder fans are angry.

However, Zuo Li still wants to be fair. I won’t talk about it tonight. The previous scene may not be that Westbrook wants to take action, but that Durant is really not good.

Some people may have questions, Durant is so strong offensively, how could he not be good at it!?

Indeed, Durant's offensive end is still quite unsolvable, but his biggest problem is his physical fitness. Durant's physical fitness is very poor. He has never played more than 40 minutes in a season in his career. Compared with stars such as James and Kobe, this

The data is very low.

From a scoring point of view, it stands to reason that with such a strong scoring ability, Durant, who has unlimited firing rights in the Thunder, should have a very high career score. However, compared to the top offensive masters in history like Jordan and Kobe, Durant seems to have a higher score.

There are not many games, and there are very few games where he has exceeded 50 points, and he has never achieved more than 60 points. The main reason is because Durant himself cannot tolerate being fucked.

Jordan, Kobe, and James are all physical monsters. James has such a wild way of playing that he averages 40 points per game all year round. His scoring efficiency is still very high, with the highest score of 56 points. Kobe and Jordan become more and more dangerous towards the end.

, the type who gets more and more excited the more he fights, as if he never gets tired.

But Durant is not so good. Because he has a height of 2.1 meters and extremely fast athletic ability, he also shoulders the defensive task of the team's protective frame, so at the last moment, Durant's physical fitness becomes his

The biggest constraint.

So he needs someone with scoring ability like Westbrook to share the pressure with him. Unlike what some people say, if Westbrook gives all the shooting rights to Durant, Durant can average 50 points per game. This is not

In reality, Durant doesn't have the physical strength. Without Westbrook to attract defense, he will probably tire faster.

But Westbrook’s choice is really bad!

Although he is an honest kid...he was still punished.

"Scott! We can't let the Knicks continue to play like this." Thunder assistant coach Mark Daignault suggested to Scott that the Thunder should immediately change their style of play and can no longer let Westbrook have his own way.

The game only lasted 6 minutes, and Zuo Li had already blocked 4 shots. The Knicks, who were playing away from home, had already scored 20 points. If the game continued like this, Pressey felt that the Knicks could score 50 points in the first quarter.

"Yeah, I know." Brooks agreed, biting the cap of his pen. He didn't make any adjustments just now, because although Durant is the core of the team, Westbrook is also highly valued by him.

He has always felt that it is not enough for a team to have only one core, so Westbrook is the best choice for the second core. Although he played very badly, he can't just replace people, so he can only let

Westbrook keeps playing like this.

Well, as a head coach, Brooks is still good. Westbrook is probably kicked out if he replaces Larry Brown, but Brooks is still willing to use games to let the rookies accumulate experience and confidence, and the daily control is not very strict.

Well, this may be the reason why the Thunder team is always a little away from success. Sometimes management is still very important, but it needs to be clear who is the real boss on the court. After all, Durant is not Kobe, and he will not roar loudly.

Teammates, Green mocked him and he didn't dare to say anything. If they expected a good old guy to be tough at critical moments on the court, it would be better to use the authority of the coach to make them realize who should give the ball to them at the last moment.

However, Westbrook is not very good now, so he himself knows that he is playing well. When the timeout is over, no one needs to tell him, and he no longer attacks on his own...

Durant finally got the ball he had dreamed of. In the second half of the first quarter, Adu made 4 of 6 shots and scored 8 points.

In the second quarter, he made 5 of 11 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 12 points. He also scored 20 points in the half.

It’s a matter of making up for the lost situation.

It's just that the 16-point gap has never been narrowed. The Knicks have opened up. Zuo Li is in full bloom. Not only is he scoring, he is evenly matched with Durant with 20 points in the half. He also has 10 rebounds, 7 blocks, 6 assists and 2 steals in the half.

Press Adu.

The Knicks youth team also crushed the Thunder teenagers. The second youngster was too anxious in this game, and the others had no chance at all. Harden only had 3 minutes of playing time and made 0 of 1 shots.

That year, the Thunder stood like a minions...

Now the three-year period...hey, it’s not yet here!

So the second half was still dominated by Durant.

As soon as Durant came up, he used an elegant three-pointer to surpass Zuoli for the first time, followed by a two-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 11 points.

However, Zuo Li immediately returned to the court and assisted Belinelli for a three-pointer. Then, Curry stole Westbrook and assisted in the frontcourt. Zuo Li jumped high and gently put the basketball into the basket with both hands.

That elegant figure fascinated the fans at the scene. Now Zuo Li is getting taller and taller in the hearts of the fans, because he not only scores by himself, but can also assist his teammates. He is also a youth player. There is a two-man team, and here he is a comprehensive player.
