Super Heavy Artillery
Vol 3 Chapter 131: Not favored
Relaxed time always passes quite quickly.
stayed at home with my wife and girlfriend for two days, An Luo had to regain his energy in the game.
The Spurs next door did not give the Grizzlies another chance in Game 6 of the series. Under the excellent performance of Tony Parker and Leonard, they solved each other cleanly and advanced to the second round.
Now that the opponent has surfaced, he can free his hands to prepare for the next game.
Donovan should have a headache! Leonard alone is very difficult to deal with.
This season, Leonard has grown too fast. Although there is no Duncan behind him, he still holds up the sky of San Antonio.
Especially in the playoffs, he performed perfectly.
Six games in the series, Leonard averaged 31.2 points, 6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. In terms of shooting percentage, Leonard reached 54.8%, and in terms of true shooting percentage, he reached an unbelievable 74.4%. Facing the top five Grizzlies in the league's defensive efficiency, Leonard's stats are not inferior to LeBron, Westbrook or Harden, which proves that he is already an undoubted superstar.
Even their opponent, the Grizzlies coach David Fizdale, also commented on Leonard after the game:
"Leonard is really good, on both ends of the offense and defense, he is better than other stars."
Compared with Leonard, who rushed out of the cottage to win the Finals Most Valuable Player, the Spurs No. 2 is indeed much stronger than it was then. On the defensive end, his abilities need not be said, single defense and assist defense are all top. On the offensive end, Leonard is one of the best singles players in the league today. At the same time, he can use his offensive containment to drive his teammates. According to statistics, when Leonard was on the court, the Spurs scored 122.4 points in 100 playoff rounds, while when he was not on the court, the Spurs scored less than 98 points in 100 playoff rounds.
This is Leonard's role for the Spurs. In terms of importance, he is already close to Duncan.
"Leonard is now the strongest player in the league." Vitch praised his proud protégé after the game.
Back then, Vicki once praised Duncan in this way, and now, he has given the same praise to Leonard. On this issue, it is true that the benevolent sees the benevolence and the wise sees the wisdom, but it is undeniable that this round of the series did make Leonard once again sublimated.
The better Leonard is, the more difficult it is for the Thunder to solve.
Fortunately, there is a Robertson in their lineup, which can limit Leonard. Of course, it can only be limited. And the specific effect has to be tested through competition.
In addition to being at a disadvantage on the front line, the inside line can basically maintain a 50-50 position. Although Aldridge is good enough, it is difficult to support alone. Although both David Lee and Gasol are all-star players, they are older. It's okay to use the residual heat occasionally, if you really want to count on it, you really can't count on it.
Thunder's inside line is also average. It's the back line that has an advantage. Parker and Ginobili are old, and Anderson, Mills and Murray are too young. There is one Danny Green left. The defense is very good, the three-pointer is also good, the same type as An Luo.
In short, each has its own advantages, and the final result depends on the players' performance during the game. But in the eyes of the media, reporters, and commentators, the Thunder have no chance of defeating the Spurs.
It is really a bad thing to not be favored by people before it starts. Not to mention Westbrook, even Donovan was a little unhappy.
"All things, let's wait until after the series is over! Everything hasn't started yet! God can't see it clearly."
Facing the reporter's question, Donovan answered very tactfully. But Westbrook is much more direct.
"They are very good. They have good coaches, good players, and good records. But aren't we also like this? I don't understand the basis for their predictions, but I think we will win."
Regardless of what people outside may think, the preparations for the Thunder are still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Donovan led his coaching staff to repeatedly study the video of the six games between the Spurs and the Grizzlies. Constantly discover problems from the inside, and constantly think about countermeasures. Then take this group of players to practice continuously.
The players are also very serious.
Westbrook has been practicing his three-pointers. In the last series, his three-pointer seriously dragged the Thunder. Especially in the third game, if he can be accurate, he won't lose. His breakthrough ability is strong, but once the opponent shrinks the defense, such a long-range shooting ability, it is too difficult to score.
An Luo and Christon are also practicing shooting. Of course, he must now take some time to practice passing ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This is Donovan's request. In his tactics, An Luo must maximize his deterrence.
His biggest problem now is that he can't hold the ball. To be precise, after holding the ball, you can't pass the ball in a double-team. Westbrook can attract defense by breaking through and then divide the ball to An Luo on the outside, but if An Luo can hold the ball on the outside and pass the ball to Westbrook after attracting the defense, then his breakthrough ability can be maximized. .
This problem will not be solved for a while.
Of course, An Luo can solve it, but the price is too high. Especially after Tang Xiaoru, he didn't dare to play his life casually. After all, I don’t know if there are any points later! It would be terrible in case of a discount.
Adams, Kanter, Oladipo, these players are all training hard. No one wants to be a drag on the entire team, everyone wants to contribute to victory. Even Robertson is seriously practicing layups and three-pointers. The few open three-pointers that didn't dare to shoot last season are already angry with Durant, so he doesn't want the same thing again, and will be complained by Westbrook.
Like the thunderous gongs and drums on the Thunder side, it is also a scene of enthusiasm in far away San Antonio.
Vicci is not a good mistake, and he quickly worked out a countermeasure without worrying at all.
The current Spurs' momentum and state are very good. Although I spent a lot of effort on the Grizzlies, it gave the young people on the team a hard time. After all, the playoffs are the most tempered. Otherwise, how could the Spurs have so many players who can play these years.
