Build a Dream Dynasty

Brooks also seemed to be aware of the threat of the Nets. At the beginning of the second half, Seferrosa still did not play, and Harden was still the starting scoring position. He was determined to use Harden to relieve the pressure on Durant's offensive end.

At the beginning, Durant swayed Leonard with a beautiful back run. Harden understood it and hit the ground to pass the ball to help Durant soar into the sky.

In addition to personal abilities, the tacit understanding between these three people is also amazing.

Back to the Nets, the two insiders, Lopez and West, pulled up to the line to double screen for Bledsoe. Bledsoe easily threw off Westbrook's defense and faced Perkins. The supplementary defense, the fake shot is really sudden, and the ball is scored with a low hand layup.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Thunder actually use their individual abilities to deal with the strength of the Nets as a team, but the performance on the game scene is that the Nets need to pass the ball through complex and continuous pick-and-roll, air cuts, Running backwards to pull the Thunder's line of defense can be supported. That is to say, the Nets themselves have enough tactical literacy and play well to bite the Thunder in the game.

After the first half was evenly divided, Westbrook began to show off in the second half of the third quarter. First, he went inside to face Lopez and completed a domineering dunk. Then he hit two consecutive zombie jumpers. The Thunder team led by him The momentum was even stronger, and as a last resort, the Nets used two shark-slashing tactics and fouled Perkins one after another to interrupt the Thunder's offensive momentum.

Perkins made 1 of 4 free throws, which slightly relieved the pressure on the Nets. But Stevens also knows that in the nationally broadcast regular season, if he dares to use excessive foul tactics as he did against the Magic before, the Nets will be "retaliated" by the league, and that's it.

At the end of the third quarter, the Nets trailed by 12 points 79:91. The situation on the court still worried Nets fans.

The game came to the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter, which was supposed to be a rotation player, started. Brooks put Westbrook and Harden on the court at the same time, hoping that this golden guard lineup against the Nets' rotation could make The point difference is further widened. In that case, the garbage time will come earlier.

On Stevens' side, according to the original plan, a rotation player was sent to challenge. There is no way, adopting such a defensive strategy against Durant in the first three quarters, the physical exertion of George and Leonard is astonishing, if they are not allowed to rest now, even if they can barely recover the points, wait until Durant plays the ball There is no need to fight. If Jeremy Lin, Korver, Liggins, Anderson, and Wright's lineup can't withstand the impact of Westbrook and Harden, and the point difference widens further, it can only show that the Nets' lineup really can't beat the Thunder. There is nothing to regret.

Jeremy Lin attacked with the ball, and Anderson stepped forward to do the first pick-and-roll, which interfered with Westbrook's defense, and then Liggins blocked Westbrook's forward line. Jeremy Lin faced Harden, taking advantage of the opponent's defensive end. A change of direction wiped the past, facing Aldridge's supplementary defense, the ball was distributed to Korver in the bottom corner in time, Korver crossed to Anderson on the wing, and made a steady three-pointer.

On the first offense in the opening game, the Nets returned to the usual offensive routine of last season. The two forts of Anderson and Korver stood on the same side, and the threat was huge.

When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Liggins adopted the Nets' defensive attitude towards Durant in the first half, preventing Harden from receiving the ball, but Westbrook, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, was released by Jeremy Lin for nearly two meters. Back to the free throw line.

Betting on Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage? At least this idea is more correct than letting him pass by and then directly attacking Wright. Facing the opportunity of no defense, Westbrook even adjusted his mood before making a shot. After the ball crossed an arc, it lived up to expectations on the rim. Aldridge grabbed the offensive rebound, but unfortunately, he was intercepted by Liggins when he passed the ball to the outside. Immediately, Liggins and Jeremy Lin made a double-line fast break, squeezing the Thunder's three backs to the bottom line , The ball was given to Korver who followed up, and Korver grasped the rhythm of the shot in the fast break, reducing the point difference to 6 points.

Westbrook missed an open three-pointer, and Korver hit a three-pointer on the fast break, which was 6 points inside and out. This time, the fans on the scene also got up.

The ball returned to the Thunder. Westbrook caught the ball in the backcourt and went straight to the frontcourt. Facing the similar defensive strategy of the Nets, this time he did not choose to shoot a three-pointer, but directly kicked it in one step. The outstanding explosive power forcibly broke through Jeremy Lin. Seeing Westbrook coming aggressively, Jeremy Lin took a step back, giving Westbrook room to jump, but it also made him fall into the big net that he and Wright wove together.

Under the interference of the three hands, Westbrook forced a layup and missed. When he landed, Westbrook was unstable and fell to the ground. Then he yelled at the referee beside him, signaling the Nets to foul.

"Beep!"

Westbrook, who was furious, was outspoken, and a technical foul was certain. Still wanting to reason again, he was quickly held back by several teammates. After Korver executed the free throw for a technical foul, Brooks quickly handed in a timeout, signaling the players to calm down.

In less than two minutes, the point difference has been narrowed to 5 points, and the Nets still have the ball. This is already a very dangerous signal.

However, what surprised Stevens was that after the timeout, Brooks did not replace Durant to control the situation, nor did he replace Westbrook. Instead, he continued the original lineup and couldn't help shaking his head.

The tactics are rigid, lack of flexibility, and are too accommodating to the players under him.

After playing, Westbrook was still making mistakes. After Jeremy Lin used the pick-and-roll to pass him off, he let go of Anderson, who should have been filled by himself, and chased Jeremy Lin hard. After scoring the ball, Korver hit a three-pointer again, and the point difference was narrowed to two points.

The fans in the audience were boiling, shouting Korver's name loudly. No one thought that the Nets, which had been suppressed for a whole game, would take advantage of Westbrook and Harden by relying on their rotation. So far this season, the Thunder have taken away their opponents in one wave, and the number of times they have been beaten by their opponents is too rare.

Taking over the basketball from Muhammad, Harden took over the offensive leadership from Westbrook. What's the reaction?

The game was back on track, and the normal Thunder team maintained a 2-4 point lead over the Nets. Although Westbrook was a little out of shape, Harden's pinching effect on the players on the field was visible to the naked eye, maintaining the balance of power on the field.

With six and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter, Brooks sent Ibaka, Perkins, Durant, and Severosa to the field, while Harden took a break temporarily to save his energy for the final decisive battle. And the main players of the Nets also all went into battle, and had a final bite with the Thunder.
