Chapter 401 Inside Line Outside Line

Because of the ankle injury of the inside general Ibaka, the Thunder had to withdraw the inside players.

In this way, Thunderbolt's inside line is basically a vacuum, and its attack power has dropped to an extreme in an instant.

In order to protect the inside line, so as not to be uncompetitive in the second half, Brooks had to call a timeout and rearrange his tactics.

It's fine if you don't deploy this tactic, but as soon as it is deployed, everyone in the Thunder thinks it's too ridiculous.

If it weren't for Durant, the boss, who respects the coach more, and Durant can understand the coach's good intentions, then when Brooks arranges that tactic, he will be sprayed to death by his players.

It is true that the current league has not been completely ruled by the outside line (it was not until Curry won the championship for the first time that the three-point line became the dominator of the league). If Qin Yan crossed over, the league at that time was already It's the world of small balls, and it has become the fashion of the league to put on the "five dead" at that time.

It can be said that the tactics Brooks inadvertently arranged have been perfectly combined with the later fashion trends.

If it is a few years later, Brooks's tactic can be said to be favored by many people, but now, this tactic will only be despised when it comes out.

Moreover, Popovich on the Spurs didn't know if he guessed that the Thunder would go to extremes, so he specially used a reverse tactic.

That's right, it's an inside line!
The Spurs' new tactics are arranged around the inside, Duncan, Whiteside, and Diaw, yes, it is the fat man Dior, this flexible and fat man can also be at the small forward, but this guy's style of play is more inside.

As for the outside line, the Spurs are a combination of the old demon swordsman Ginobili and the sports car Parker. Although they are a bit old, the experience of these two people is top-notch, and they can block opponents through cooperation in defense. suffer.

Therefore, Popovich is also deliberate about using these two as outsiders. If the physical strength of these two people can't keep up in a while, he is going to use Leonard and Qin Yan as outsiders.

The Spurs' lineup is to put all the offensive focus on the inside, which is completely the opposite of the Thunder!

Especially the Spurs' current insiders, no matter who they are, cannot be blocked by the Thunder.

In particular, the Thunder only has Durant, who is barely considered a center in terms of height, and Durant is completely at a disadvantage in terms of weight. If Duncan or Whiteside fight hard, it is impossible to block it.

So, the competition between the two teams is a duel between inside and outside!
When Durant came out with his teammates, he was flustered when he saw the Spurs' lineup. In Durant's view, the Spurs' lineup perfectly restrained his side!

After coming up to the Spurs' possession of the ball, Parker didn't hesitate this time and handed the ball directly to Duncan. After Duncan took the ball, he realized that it was Martin who was defending him? !
There is no way, after all, Durant still has to stare at Whiteside, and Martin can only guard Duncan.

Duncan pushed back slightly, but it was just such a light push that the defensive Martin couldn't take it anymore.

Martin's weight is not even 90 kg, to be precise, he is only 85 kg...

As for Uncle Duncan, he weighs a full 115 kilograms, which is within 30 kilograms!
Don't think that 30 kilograms is a trivial matter. This is almost the gap between lightweight and super heavyweight. Moreover, Martin is more than ten centimeters shorter than Duncan. Even if Martin tries his best, there is no way to bring Duncan the weight. Half trouble...

It doesn't have to be easy!

Duncan pushed forward easily, and Martin was already grinning and sweating profusely behind him.

This is not a level at all!How to prevent? !

Not to mention Martin, it's the same with other Thunder players on the court. Even Durant, who is the top in height and weight, is more than 10 kilograms away from Duncan, and he still can't stop him.

Duncan easily rolled from near the free throw line to the three-second zone, then turned around and hit the board, and the ball was easily scored.

Martin smiled wryly. There was really no way. How could he block the super insider Duncan with an outside line, especially Martin's defense was not particularly good.

"It's okay, Kevin, I'll call back later." Durant patted Kevin on the shoulder. In his opinion, it's normal for this kind of ball to be unstoppable. If Martin can defend Duncan, that would be abnormal. Woolen cloth.

The Thunder's ball, Durant replaced Westbrook to control the ball, and then Westbrook and others began to move flexibly on the outside. Coach Brooks' tactic is that as long as he runs out of opportunities, he can shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

Especially Martin, Lamb and others, they are all three-point shooters. As long as there is a chance, these guys' three-point shots will be crazy!
Martin ran a full lap around the baseline, and then with Westbrook's help, Martin ran out to an open spot!
"then!"

Durant passed the ball directly, the ball was very penetrating, passed through the seams smoothly, and came directly to Martin's hands!

opportunity!

Martin was very excited. He had just been forced to eat one, and now he had a chance to counterattack, and his shot was very fast, and he shot the ball quickly with a crooked machine gun shot!
Martin's shooting method is indeed unique in the league, it is too rare, so most people can't prevent this kind of shooting at all. Ginobili followed up at the last moment, but there is still no way to stop Martin from shooting this kind of ball!
"Shh-"

Three point shot!

Martin's crooked skills are well-deserved. No wonder he was also a fierce man who averaged 20+ points per game at his peak!

But the Spurs don't care about this ball. In their view, shooting a three-pointer from the outside must have a chance to score. It is impossible for the team to prevent the opponent from making a single shot.

But the probability of a three-pointer definitely scoring is relatively low, at least it is impossible to compare with Duncan and Whiteside's inside shots!
In particular, Whiteside's offense in the interior is basically dunks, and all of them are empty dunks, which makes Durant a headache, because Durant has no advantage in air combat.

Not to mention Martin, he was already being abused by Duncan on the inside. As soon as he caught the ball, he would relentlessly push to the inside, and then directly shot due to Martin's interference, which was basically the same as a five-man defense.

And the rest of the Spurs are basically going to the inside to make shots, just bullying the Thunder now that they don't have an inside!
While you are sick, I will kill you!
But it’s okay, the Thunder’s outside touch is good today, and it’s confirmed that they can’t make shots every time, but the team also scored a lot of three-pointers. Looking at these three-pointers, the team barely survived and continued to bite the Spurs The score was not pulled.

But anyone can see that Lei Ting is just supporting it by force.

In this battle between inside and outside, Thunder, suffered a loss!
