Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045 The Real Grim Reaper Should Not Have Weaknesses

On the court, the confrontation between Zuo Li and Durant lasted a full 6 minutes, until the 7th minute, when Brooks was afraid that Durant would be injured and replace him.

Zuo Li had 15 points and 5 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Durant had 13 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

The fans at Madison Square Garden couldn’t help shaking their heads and lamenting that they had never seen such a pure, resolute, and shameless star.

It’s no wonder that O’Neill said after watching it: “It seems that these two people have some grievances.”

“The Thunder scored 20 points in 8 minutes, while the Knicks scored 22 points. It can be seen that the first 8 minutes were Durant and Zuo Li’s individual performance time. Although they did not match up, the entire court was burst by them The sparks that came out covered it.” Kenny Smith shook his head and said.

Generally speaking, the so-called star confrontation in the NBA will not last too long. The first is to destroy the team’s tactics, and the second is that the physical fitness required for individual singles with the ball is multiplied. no need.

But tonight, Durant and Zuo Li obviously played a real game, and neither of them would take a step back. If they hadn’t been replaced, they probably wouldn’t have played enough in the first quarter.

No, Durant, who was replaced, was not very happy. He ignored Brooks’ pat on him, and sat on the bench sulking.

Because he hasn’t responded to the ball scored by Zuo Li just now, and he is playing excitedly, why change himself!

If Zuo Li, who was also replaced after two rounds, knew what Durant was thinking, he would definitely hehe: “I changed you to protect you. As expected of Brooks, there are still two brushes.”

Brooks knows Durant very well. He knows that Durant is in good form tonight and has a strong desire to win, so he gave Durant almost all offensive opportunities.

But at the same time, he also knew that playing like this would be very unfavorable to Durant. Regardless of the joy of playing now, he would have to pay it back in the second half!

As mentioned earlier, Durant has outstanding physical talent and soft touch, and few one-on-one can restrain him.

but!

Durant’s shortcomings are also very obvious, the first is physical problems.

It has been analyzed before, so I won’t repeat it here.

As the head coach of the Thunder, how could Brooks not be clear about Durant’s problem? Even now, a large part of the Thunder’s tactics are formulated to make up for Durant’s defect.

For example, let Westbrook control the ball, or let Harden come up to control the ball, and let the two share many offensive rounds at the same time.

Even on the defensive end, Brooks is very tolerant of Durant, the purpose is to allow Durant to put his power on offense as much as possible.

It can be said that the head coach who can use Durant the most is undoubtedly Brooks, and he also gave Durant the most respect.

Many people will attack Westbrook because Durant couldn’t get the ball at critical moments in many games, and at the same time attack Brooks, saying that he is not a good person, that he can’t use Durant well, and that he is an undercover agent.

But here I have to say something fair to Brooks, not being able to get the ball at the last moment is really not all Westbrook or Brooks’ problem.

First of all, the opponent will attack Durant crazily like the Knicks tonight to give him strength. Regardless of whether he gets in or not, it will consume you anyway. Will play.

Second, the heavy consumption of physical energy will make Durant directly miss the point, which was vividly and exquisitely reflected in the Western Conference Finals of the 2016 playoffs.

In the fourth season, in seven games, Durant made 43 outstanding shots and only made 12 goals, with a shooting percentage of only 27%.

And Westbrook hit 12 goals in 30 shots, with a hit rate of 40%.

It can be seen that Westbrook not only does not take as many shots as Durant, but also has a higher shooting percentage.

The reason why the outside world has less cheated Durant in Shunwei is nothing more than impressions and hype.

Westbrook does get ahead at certain times, makes many mistakes and fails to make shots, but most of the time, he will first choose Adu.

If you can’t vote, you can only say that “Reaper” does have shortcomings.

This shortcoming is also the reason why Brooks replaced him. You can play this way in the first quarter, but you can’t keep it in the last quarter. What if the team leader needs to come out to score at that time, what will you do!

So Durant was directly pressed on the bench and was not replaced until three and a half minutes into the second quarter.

This is still a last resort, because Zuo Li didn’t rest for a minute!

Zuo Li told D’Antoni directly that he didn’t need to rest, and D’Antoni would naturally not object.

After all, there is no need to worry about Zuo Li’s physical fitness. After practicing, no one in the entire Knicks is his opponent. Even in the three overtimes of the finals, Kobe, the physical monster, can’t run.

What’s even more frightening is that Zuo Li was almost uninjured, and his exhaustion seemed to be healed by just stretching his knees.

It’s no wonder that many fans ridiculed Zuo Li for performing exhaustion, in order to confuse opponents.

Really not, Zuo Li will also be tired, but his physical strength is strong enough, and at the same time, his physical fitness is more abundant, and his recovery ability is also stronger, which makes him feel like a perpetual motion machine on the court.

But in general Zuo Li still cherishes his body very much, and the cost of maintenance is a little bit, and he can rest in the game and never play hard.

But tonight is different, not to mention that Durant is really popular, UU Reading www. uukanshu. com Zuo Li is no less angry than him, he not only wants to win tonight, but also wins completely!

So in the few minutes after Durant was off the court, Zuo Li scored 8 points from inside and outside. After going back and forth, Zuo Li had already scored 23 points.

Durant couldn’t wait to play, he couldn’t wait.

On the first ball, Durant hit very hard, almost a limit shot, and Durant made a drift mid-range shot.

Turning around to the left, he immediately stopped the jumper and returned the color.

The fans were amazed that this pair of Biao started again!

54-47!

At halftime, the Knicks took a 7-point advantage.

Zuo Li played 24 minutes, took 16 shots, scored 31 points and 10 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

Durant played 18 minutes, took 16 shots, scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

With the same 16 shots, Zuo Li scored a full 10 points more than Adu.

This is determined by the way the two play. Durant’s points all come from jump shots and free throws, while Zuo Li except for 3 three-pointers, the others come from breakthroughs to the frame, second offense at the basket, post-up singles and free throws.

It can be seen that the left-handed scoring method is richer and more efficient.

But 21 points in the half are enough to excite Mr. Du’s fans. After all, this was obtained under a harsh double-team. In addition to Shane Battier and Danny Green, Klay Thompson and Beverly also joined in the siege of Durant. In the camp, the intensity is indeed full.

So a famous Rant fan said: “We have reason to look forward to Durant in the second half.”

However, it is a pity that the real **** of death will not have such obvious weaknesses. Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
