Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1043
Chapter 1043 Adu is very angry
“Win the ball, get the high score.”
These are the two goals that Zuo Li set for himself before the game. Of course, it can also be said to be one, because the higher the score of Zuo Li, the higher the Knicks’ winning percentage. This season, in games where Zuo Li scored more than 30 points, the Knick There was only one defeat for Stanley, the one that was tricked by Popovich.
That was an accident. Popovich’s showmanship is generally not learned by others, especially Brooks. You can say that he plays steadily and step by step, but you can also say that he doesn’t know how to adapt and is self-confident.
It is undeniable that he has indeed made a career in the Thunder, but it is definitely not a success. After all, the players under him definitely have the ability to win championships, but he has not won a championship in 7 years.
If it is understandable to say that the loss in the 12-year finals in the previous life, although Zuo Li has always believed that Brooks’ tactical mistakes were the biggest reason for the Thunder’s brittle defeat, with Yin Baka, Perkins and Collison, these three no matter Height and tonnage are still enough to defend against the Heat’s inside line. In the finals, they used the inside line to win first. After the Heat put Haslem on the bench in the second game and began to speed up, the Thunder gave up the inside advantage. At the beginning, the three young masters and the Heat’s three giants competed against each other to compare their personal abilities. In the end, the Thunder lost four games in a row and lost the game!
It has to be said that Brooks pays a heavy responsibility!
Even though the three are also the Big Three, compared to the Big Three of the Heat, they were slightly inferior in terms of experience and strength at the time.
The result is that except for Durant who is hard enough at the critical moment, Westbrook loses the chain at the critical moment, and Harden simply exposed his nature: he can’t find it at the critical moment.
But after all, it was the first time, whether it was Brooks or the Thunder’s three juniors. They were inexperienced, and if they lost, they lost.
However, the failure to keep Harden afterwards was a matter of Brooks’ vision.
Of course, the problem can still be solved. In 2016, the Thunder once again had a chance to prove themselves. The 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals gave them a chance to create an era. They defeated the Warriors Dynasty with 73 victories. The duo of Adu and Westbrook is enough to say goodbye to OK Wrist, but it is a pity that the 1-3 comeback made them the second joke. They have to thank the Warriors. If they didn’t also have a 1-3 comeback in the finals, the Thunder would be talked about for a lifetime.
The biggest problem with being overturned is that Brooks’ tactics are rigid. No matter whether he wins or loses, he is playing singles against the second young master. In the end, the second young master loses his hand feeling due to lack of physical strength, allowing the Warriors to complete a shocking reversal.
Therefore, Zuo Li is very confident in playing Thunder.
In fact, the only one who needs to be careful when playing against the Thunder is Durant. There is really no solution to his crazy shots, but the Thunder also has a way to limit Durant.
That is Westbrook and physical fitness. The Heat used the method of speeding up to make Durant lose his energy in the fourth quarter. In the end, the ball had to be handed over to Westbrook, and everyone understood it.
Moreover, Brooks trusts Westbrook very much. In the finals, Westbrook averaged 27 points per game, which looked good, but he used the team’s highest 24 shots, especially 6.6 three-point shots per game, but the shooting percentage was so low. 13.6%.
But even if it’s so bad, Brooks still gave Westbrook trust, and a lot of ball power is in his hands.
This has also become the Knicks’ biggest weapon against the Thunder. In the previous few matches, the Knicks chose to flank Durant and let Westbrook play as much as possible to weaken Adu’s role.
Same thing tonight.
Thunder Five, Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Yin Baka, Perkins.
Knicks five, Curry, Danny Green, Battier, Randolph, left.
From the looks of it, Westbrook is the strong point. He is very good against Curry. After all, Curry is not as fast and physically as Westbrook, and he has just recovered from his injury, so he will definitely not defend with all his strength.
On the other hand, Durant has to accept Battier’s single defense and Danny Green’s pincer attack. Although the defensive ability of these two is not as good as the combination of Battier and Artest back then, they are all players in the league today. In the second and third positions of the team, the defense is also one of the best.
As for the inside line, Zuo Lijia Randolph’s super combination has proved its strength. Regardless of offense and defense, the two are the league’s number one inside line combination at this time. How can we limit the attack firepower of the two.
It can be said that the Knicks’ restraint against the Thunder is obvious, except for Westbrook.
And Westbrook is the thunder buried by the Knicks. Last season, Westbrook played well against the Knicks, but the Thunder lost more and more miserably, so the Knicks were simply heavenly against the Thunder.
At the beginning of the game, Zuo Li used his footsteps to eat Perkins alone on the inside, and then Durant was double-teamed when he got the ball.
Left vertical rebound +1.
long pass!
Curry, who had just been passed cleanly, went down the fast break and scored two points.
“I don’t know if Westbrook will envy Curry’s treatment…”
The fans sighed.
Obviously Curry’s defense is worse, but Curry can score easily.
If Westbrook sees it, he will definitely shout: “Envy! Who the **** doesn’t envy!”
And not only he is envious, who in the league does not envy, with a guy like Zuo Li standing on the inside, the sense of security cannot be experienced in words. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com
Barkley said: “Zuo Li’s defensive threat is too great. If another person, Westbrook may rush in and dunk, but as long as Zuo Li is in the defensive position, Westbrook will not be able to dunk. The challenge is difficult. Let’s see if he dares.” Dare…my advice is don’t try it lightly.”
Of course Westbrook understands this, so he practiced a wave of jump shots before this game. He also knows that he has more chances against the Knicks, and he strives to lead the team to victory in his own way.
But tonight, Durant wasn’t the same as before.
In the next round, Durant broke through with the ball again, and was double-teamed again, Battier got stuck on the right side, and Danny Green quickly double-teamed on the left side. It can be seen that the Knicks’ defense has already been practiced The fire is perfect.
Usually at this time, even Lao Zhan has to pass, and so does Durant, because Battier puts a lot of pressure on him, and Zuo Li, who can rush over at any time, is too much pressure.
In the past, 90% of Durant would choose to pass it on, but tonight, Durant chose to do it himself!
Strong cast!
Durant uses his height against the fadeaway jumper.
The basketball has a very high arc, spins extremely fast, and finally falls into the bag smoothly.
2-4!
Subsequently, Zuo Li assisted Curry to make a three-pointer, and Durant also hit a three-pointer with a simple pick-and-roll catch.
“Adu, Curry hit each other with three-pointers. This thing is estimated to detonate the basketball sector in the next few years.” Zuo Li thought.
But now, the two of them haven’t grown to that point yet.
“Adu is very angry tonight, it’s all hard.”
But Zuo Li keenly noticed Durant’s difference, he seemed to be much tougher than before. Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
