Chapter 1760 The Thunder that Attacks Constipation

Carmelo Anthony was actually replaced like this.That's right, let him play like this, basically the Thunder team would kneel down, and the wave of openings that they couldn't bear to play was wiped out.Do you think Billy Donovan is not angry?So this time he didn't have anything to say, and he broke up with Anthony directly, telling him to either sit on the bench, or go back to the locker room and never come back.This was the first time in a long time that Billy Donovan got mad at Anthony, and such a loud voice was basically an announcement of a showdown with the main star. If he made up for the disadvantage afterwards, it would cause the general to be divorced.Anthony's plan is to deal with this guy when the time comes, but now Billy Donovan's idea is... Let him get out after the series is over!

Originally, the Thunder this season was just a gamble, and if they want to keep this combination next season, they will have to pay the super luxury tax.Because they are sure to renew Paul George with a maximum salary, the salary cap will exceed $1.5 million.This means that the luxury tax will reach the level of the super luxury tax, and a total of 3 million US dollars will be required to retain people.If you can win the championship, forget it, it's not that you can't give it a try.But... if you are a round trip, a fool will spend 3 million US dollars to keep people.Among the Big Three, one must go. It is impossible for Westbrook to be the boss. George has both offense and defense and is younger. He must be the priority. Then the answer is already very clear, it is Carmelo Anthony.To be honest, Anthony's salary this season is more than $2600 million, second only to Westbrook's $2800 million+.With such a high salary, with a stat of 16+ in the regular season, it must be impossible to keep the score of 16+ in the playoffs now. What do you think he is for?The current Anthony is simply a typical representative of high salary and low ability.

He is a bit like Kobe at the beginning of the 13-14 season in the original time and space, with high salary and low ability.

At least the ability does not match the salary.

But ah, Kobe broke his leg for the team, so his state is greatly reduced. If there is no such problem, it will still be no problem to score 25+ points next season.Even playing until retirement will maintain a score of more than 20+.As for Anthony, that's not the case at all.The key is that his defensive attitude is gone, and he will have a super high salary of about 2600 million next season.If this is the next step, how can we reinforce it?Don't forget what kind of team this team is.This is a team and management that are unwilling to pay more for Harden's 500 million.You still want them to pay a super luxury tax of more than 1.5 million, what do you think?

Based on this, Billy Donovan is sure that Carmelo Anthony, who is in such a poor state in the playoffs, is going to go, so he is no longer afraid of breaking with him completely.Anyway, I'm going to fuck off, why should I be polite to you?Originally, I had some expectations for your playoffs, but now?Very good, the playoffs are such a mess, keeping you is a disaster.

You are not willing to play as a substitute... You old man should go find another job.

See where there is still a need for a player like you who has the essence of all kinds of human pull-up jump shots, so go there.

After Anthony went to the Rockets in the original time and space and was completely laid off, he said so many words on the show that he has already surrendered his status and is willing to serve as a substitute for you Houstonians. Are you still not satisfied?You want me to pack up and get out? ? ?Are you sick? ? ?Then you know what he did after this incident happened. He didn’t reflect on himself first, but he picked up his mobile phone and called one of the core of the Rockets, the “bubble” of the light bulb combination. He just asked questions, you If I knew about this before, then I will break up with you! ! ! ...Look at it, it's just such a move.Of course, what he said was that it is already very difficult for me to play as a substitute.Haha, it's already hard to put you on the bench, so what?I'm sorry, but the fact is that your current style of play and existence, even as a substitute, can't accommodate you.In fact, among the [-] teams in the NBA, none of the head coaches would tell the team management, go ahead, sign Melon, even if he is only a basic salary, no one will ask for it.Poor?Why?Have you thought about it yourself?He didn't.Later on the show, Billups said that he was too obsessed with scoring data before, and then Anthony directly said, is it a bit too much for you to say this at this time?ha?Are you getting into trouble? ? ?
See, these are all real things that happened. Anthony was completely unwanted in the NBA, not without reason.

Even most of them are his own reasons.

His own NCAA mentor once said a famous sentence to sum up Anthony. It is very difficult for Carmelo to win the Larry O'Brien Cup, because he is too self-indulgent, and it is difficult to fully integrate into the team. , and he doesn't always think about making the whole team better.You see, you see for yourself, this is his NCAA mentor, Anthony also led Syracuse University to win the NCAA championship, just like that, people say that about him, it can be seen... Anthony has always been one, A person who builds his own honor and disgrace on the team's honor and disgrace.

This can be seen from the fact that he stayed in New York for money and did not find another way, because James was planning to form a team with him and Wade at the beginning.As a result, people refused to cut their salaries for the sake of a good knife, and they refused to come.In fact, although he got a good big contract, he lost countless opportunities to improve his commercial value.

But none of this mattered anymore. From the time Billy Donovan completely tore his face and forced him to the bench, Anthony had already lost his final chance to prove himself in the Thunder.It's just that he is still immersed in his fantasy of "one cigarette from Gua, and half the sky in New York".

The current league, really, doesn't need him anymore, and from the moment he was pushed down by Billy Donovan, he completely, dimmed.The halo of the star for so many years has finally disappeared.

But this is all about Anthony personally, and for the Thunder team, once Anthony goes, ouch, don't tell me, the offensive feeling has suddenly improved.At least the stoppage has been greatly reduced.The ball is running more and more smoothly.When Anthony was there, the most common things that happened to the Thunder were...stopping the ball, playing singles, and then the four of them watched the show.

The Thunder's offensive ability is too fragmented this season. This is especially obvious in the playoffs, that is, the Big Three play singles, and then simply cooperate. If it doesn't work, Westbrook decides whether to swing or pass.This routine is too barren in the playoffs against promotion.The Westbrook Lakers are now taking turns to take care of them. Rondo and Beverly come in turns and consume them in turn, making him uncomfortable.And the biggest problem with the big package is... It consumes a lot of energy.

Even LeBron James, who is as strong as No. 23 of the Cavaliers, can't solve this problem. He is tired, and James himself has called it many times.Don't talk about the rest.Physical fitness is not as good as James.Don't look at Westbrook playing extremely well, and his physical fitness is also superhuman in the No. 1 position, but his physical fitness is actually not as good as you think.The regular season only averaged about 34 minutes per game, and no season in the playoffs exceeded 40 minutes.Therefore, Westbrook's explosive power is strong, but his physical fitness is not too exaggerated.During the time he went down, the Thunder was supported by George, and the Lakers were also very decisive, directly choosing to double-team George during this time.Because you see, except for him, the rest of the Thunder team's independent offensive ability is not good. After double-teaming, it is enough to rotate or assist in defense and do not let go.

But at this time, Jerami Grant of the Thunder team is very competitive. It is not obvious that he is a player who averaged only 8 points per game during the regular season.But no one knows that his scoring average will soar to 13+ next season.And the efficiency is quite good.Seeing this, the Lakers were a little surprised. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to open the score here, but they still bit them.Sure enough, the basketball game is not something you can plan and do whatever you want.

Anyone can be a variable.Big or small.

When Westbrook came back, the score difference kept gnawing tightly. George turned around and hit a jumper with the ball. Kuzma tried his best for this ball, but it was still directly hit by the opponent's defense.Westbrook returned to take control of the ball again. He made a beautiful dribble. The ball turned backwards with a small change, and the speed surpassed the defender Beverly. Then the Thunder went in with No. 0 and it was a flying shot. basket.

This ball Tang Qian went to mark George. He didn't expect that Westbrook could eat Beverly so directly and dunk it so easily.

Boom~~~~
The crowd in Oklahoma cheered for Russell Westbrook's dunk.

Not long after that, Westbrook hit directly after a pick-and-roll. The ball was another fairy ball. After being violated, his body was completely distorted, but he still threw it blindly. The basketball fell directly into the Lakers' basket.This Tang Qian was a little dumbfounded, everyone said that Wei Shao's touch came, that was Megatron, that was Shen Duxiu, the triple-double.Looking at it today, it really is so powerful.If he can maintain this state all the time, then it is a huge threat.But Tang Qian clearly understood that this was impossible.

So he was not in a hurry, no matter how passionate and provocative Westbrook played, it didn't disturb his mentality.

He just leads the team to play normally, because he knows that the opponent can play like this with the Lakers because of their explosive power. Then when the Thunder's No. 0 returns to normal, they will soon change from Megatron to Megatron again.There is a difference of one word, but one day and one place, it is a thousand miles away.

The Thunder's offense has slowly started to concentrate, and it's easy to judge. Their conduction ball is too little, that is, singles, singles, singles, a lot of singles.There is a statistic that is irrefutable. The Thunder's average number of passes per game in the first two games is nearly 2 fewer than the Los Angeles Lakers' average per game! ! !The Lakers averaged 100 passes per game, while the Thunder only had 310.Such a large gap basically proves a lot of things.The Thunder's offensive conduction ball is basically at the level of constipation in the playoffs.

Do you think this is bragging and deliberate blackness? NO~ The original space-time Thunder team averaged 210+ passes per game in this year's playoffs, while the opposing team, the Utah Jazz, averaged 290+ passes per game.You see, there is such a big gap.

I didn't mean to be dark at all.

This team is really a naked singles team.

Among the teams in the entire playoffs, they are the last team in passing balls per game.none of them.

Therefore, Westbrook's excessive possession of the ball has actually seriously affected the overall conduction of the Thunder. Their offensive routines are too simple and ordinary, which makes them passive once their stars cannot be played.And the most important thing is that none of their stars are particularly efficient stars.This is true whether it is Westbrook, Anthony or even George.

And Westbrook has to check the rebounding data, which makes their offense, in fact, the line is easy to see through.

Tang Qian saw the best card forward in the league, Neptune Adams, helping Megatron get a backcourt rebound. Tang Qian wanted to laugh a little, and said: No, you are so willing to let the team take it away from a big man. Your rebound?But the trash talk didn't work, because Adams' answer was, yes, I do.You said... how do you fix this?
It can be clearly seen from Adams' eyes that he is showing his true feelings and answering sincerely.

Let me go... There really are such good men as Adams in this world.

Westbrook's three-double king's medal is half of yours.

Tang Qian suddenly had an idea, and he whispered a few words to Paul Gasol, who was replaced. The latter was slightly taken aback, but nodded quickly.Tang Qian is going to...

This is a big shot, don't you like to grab rebounds?Well, let's see how many you can get.

This bad habit of yours needs to be cleaned up by then, otherwise, do you really think that you are invincible in rebounding?
Tang Qian made a tactical gesture here, and Gasol followed it immediately, and then a strange scene happened...

Westbrook's triple dream is probably going to be ruined tonight.
