Chapter 1323 The new lineup shows off, the Thunder uses Xiao Wang

The starting lineups of the two sides have basically remained unchanged, so there is no introduction. Sure enough, the Thunder started with continuous "Westbrook Blitz Tactics".It looks very awesome, the fastest 4 seconds can handle the audience, this is also a very abnormal personal ability.At least the Lakers can't learn from it.The ability in this aspect is too physical. Although Rondo has only turned 30 years old, he still has insufficient physical talent and skills.Well, not even in his early 20s.

Westbrook, this is too fast.I always feel that it is a pity that D'Antoni didn't meet him.Otherwise, there may be some more extreme offensive storms of "4 seconds or less".Fortunately, Billy Donovan is also very good at using guards, and Westbrook's power in his hands has also been strengthened a lot.This is also the reason why "Student Du" is a little envious and jealous.

Of course the Lakers are prepared this time, and you still want to simply use the "Westbrook Blitz" to hit us? OK!We gave up the offensive rebound from the beginning, and then we all retreated and settled quickly.Initially curb your "lightning tactics".step?Of course one step is not enough, there is more.Secondly, Larry Brown made a Box.And1 defensive tactic.This tactic is probably one person going to man-to-man, and then the rest of the team adopts a quasi-defense position within the three-point line. As long as Westbrook comes in, it will directly block and assist in a large number of defenses, blocking Westbrook's vision.

This is bullying that Westbrook's passing vision and ability are not as good as those of the real No. 1 masters. Once caught in a large number of encirclement and defense, his vision will be blocked, and it is often not easy to pass the ball and connect teams.Of course, there will be loopholes in the defense of the No. 1 three-pointer.After all, any non-man-to-man defensive tactic will have a sacrifice in position. This is the weakness of this defensive tactic.If this is Curry, it is estimated that such a defense will be directly cast as a dog by the opponent.But the Thunder's No. 1 position is Westbrook. Westbrook can shoot three-pointers, but it's very difficult to handle.Just look at his three-point shooting percentage in the regular season. His career has just exceeded 3%. What about this season?Sorry, worse.Only 29.6%.That being the case, Larry Brown simply chose to let Westbrook have a three-pointer.

Come on, shoot the three.

You ask, what if Westbrook happens to have hot hands?Come on, then you will definitely choose to suspend the formation. Once any tactical routine is cracked by the opponent, aren't you a fool if you don't change.But it's a pity that Westbrook's three-pointers in the first quarter tonight are not in the right shape. He made several shots in a row, and they all fell off.The Lakers seized the opportunity and played steadily, hitting an 8-0 start to a small climax.This made the Thunder's head coach quickly call a timeout.

It's time to adjust.

After coming back, the Thunder played a few good tactical shots, and Ibaka was brilliant for a while. He was really "self-aware" tonight. After seeing that he had no role to play on the defensive end, he immediately switched to the offensive end. To glow and heat.Hey, let alone, tonight his role played a "surprise effect".Ibaka made 2 of 2 shots, including a three-pointer. In addition, the Thunder continued to defend the Lakers in this game, so the Lakers' passing and passing the ball were not very smooth.This gave the Thunder a lot of opportunities.The stalemate between the two teams reached the rotation time of the first quarter. The Lakers suddenly had a mixed lineup, that is, the lineup of Tang Qian + Covington + Josh Smith + Butler + Lance Stephenson.To be honest, this lineup has rarely appeared in the regular season this season, but tonight, the effect here is remarkable.The athletic ability of this lineup is very strong, and they are very flexible and confrontational. In addition, Lance Stephenson has finally integrated into the team and met the requirements of Larry Brown. The Lakers beat the Thunder in this wave. I could hardly lift my head.

This lineup is very weird, because Lance Stephenson is not the kind of guard who is particularly good at passing and organizing skills.He is tough on defense and has a large scale of confrontation. He also has the ability to hold the ball on offense, but it is a bit lacking in this aspect.The average assists per game of only 2+ times in his career has already been reflected.So in this lineup, there is actually... No. 29 Tang Qian playing as the core of the tactical organization!Yes, this is not reflected much in the regular season, but in fact there are actual combat training, but it is only when the overall situation is basically determined.So unremarkable.

But Tang Qian's first-class passing ability inside, wouldn't it be a fool not to use it?In addition, whether it is Rondo or Beverly at the No. 1 position of the Lakers, they are actually weak offensive players.The ability to attack independently is not strong enough.This, Lance Stephenson, just solves the problem.This is why Larry Brown wants to accept him.It doesn't matter if it's a prickly head. There is No. 29 in the team. Why can't the prickly head be suppressed and won?Therefore, the obedient "junior brother" Stephenson is quite easy to use.

The price is extremely low, and at the same time, the personal ability to hold the ball is very strong, just as a tactical reinforcement point to play.

Don't forget that in the Pacers back then, Lance Stephenson's attacking role with the ball was not even weaker than that of the boss George.George's holding the ball is not his strong point, so players like Stephenson have played a very good reinforcing effect.It's the same with the Lakers now. His arrival makes up for the problem of the Lakers' 1st position autonomous attack.And, don't forget, he still has defense, how about defense?

When thorns are not a problem, the price is extremely low, why don't you take him and wait for the show.

This wave of play made the Thunder a little distracted. Billy Donovan quickly asked Durant to attack. Relying on Durant's personal ability, he barely stabilized the situation.At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led their opponents by 20 points 15-5.During the substitute time at the beginning of the second quarter, Nick Young and Pierce took turns to score, and they successfully completed their missions.It's a pity that Dion Waiters of the Thunder played well in this game, and he played against the Lakers' bench, which prevented the score difference from being widened.

Dion Waiters is actually a player with strong personal abilities. Before he came to the Thunder, he averaged around 15 points per game.After Yuan Shikong left the Thunder, he also averaged 15+ per game for consecutive seasons.So he is actually a bench gangster on the Thunder's bench, which the Lakers missed a bit.But it doesn't matter, it's impossible to take care of everything in a game, as long as you basically follow the script you designed.

It is impossible to control it completely.Although Larry Brown was a little surprised by the performance of Waiters of the Thunder, there was no continuation.After entering the main force time and slowly starting to replace the main force, the Lakers suddenly increased the intensity of a wave of help defense and zone defense, which caused the Thunder to make mistakes. The Lakers continued to score by killing the inside basket.

Slowly opened the score difference to double digits.

It seems that there will be a trend of playing flowers, but the Thunder are at home after all. After a controversial sideline penalty, the Thunder's Westbrook exploded at the Lakers, shooting consecutively with convulsions, coupled with personal forced steals, all of a sudden. The score difference narrowed again.This is the characteristic of the Thunder team. You never know when their "double young" will explode, and once a star of this level explodes, you don't even want to completely block it.

They can be blocked casually, so they can't be called superstars.

Westbrook relied on his personal ability to open up and attract passes. They sacrificed a lot on the defensive end in this game, and the Congolese slugger Serge Ibaka, who also had a lot of resentment, shot up and made consecutive catches. The Lakers are only 1 point away.It is said that the Thunder team's giant planet is fierce, and even lives on the giant planet a lot of the time. Now it seems that there is some truth to it.If Westbrook hadn't exploded, the Lakers would have just pulled away.

The Lakers called a timeout, Westbrook yelled, and the Chesapeake Energy Arena also rose and fell with a blue wave.

Wang Zha's combination is a bit interesting, but it's not for nothing.
