I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 463 Westbrook’s Instruction Manual (Third)
In Min Congda's eyes, there are three teams in the West that can encircle and suppress the Clippers.

One is the Lakers, who have now been successfully cultivated by Min Congda as the most terrifying team in the West. The combination of Kobe + Paul will be very powerful in the playoffs.

One is the Spurs. The Spurs have always been stable. Unfortunately, their draft plan was unintentionally destroyed by Min Congda. Popovich had to think of a new way.

He has been trying to contact the Clippers, wanting to trade Richard Jefferson plus draft picks for Leonard, but Min Congda refused.

Although Richard Jefferson is not compatible with the Spurs, he is quite suitable for the Clippers.

Can play fast, can cut air, and can defend well. Once he joins the Clippers, the Clippers will add another powerful player to their outside firepower!
What are you thinking?Stop dreaming, I won't give it.

Popovich vomited blood angrily, thinking that you don't want Jefferson so suitable for the Clippers?

No way, Popovich knew that Leonard had the real potential, but unfortunately, he was taken by the Clippers.

They will not let people go.

The Spurs are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference and have a good record, not much behind them.

After Duncan rested during the offseason, lost weight, changed his style of play, and his state has recovered a lot.

As long as Duncan is still around, the Spurs will always be a strong team in the West.

The last one is of course the Thunder. The Thunder also got the blessing of Min Congda and sent Eric Gordon to them.

But at present, it may not be a good idea to replace Gordon with Harden.

Because Harden is growing very fast, the improvement visible to the naked eye feels better than Gordon.

This troubles Min Congda, and Harden is healthy, but Gordon is prone to injuries.

But no matter which board, the core of the Thunder is Durant and Westbrook.

In the current league environment, the third position and the first position are both crucial and determine the upper limit position.

It is already difficult to produce a dominant player at the center position.

The fourth and fifth positions are gradually blurring.

The glory of the second position is gradually fading as Kobe and other shooting guards age.

The Thunder have Westbrook at the No. [-] position and Durant at the No. [-] position, conforming to the trend of the times and having a high ceiling.

But how Min Congda looked at this Westbrook, he felt that this kid was more than brave, not smart enough, and he seemed to be weak in playing!

The number one position is the position that needs the most brains. This position has few tendons to play. What to do when it comes to high-end rounds?
There is only one Chris Paul, which has been given to the Lakers.

What's wrong with Lei Ting, can you consecrate him?

The ball was passed to Tyronn Lue, I don't know how to describe it.

The game continued, and Harden continued to organize with the ball in a high position.

Harden suddenly made a lob pass to the basket, Gasol cut the ball and made an easy layup!

This is a good pass. In terms of passing IQ, Durant and Westbrook combined cannot compare to Harden.

Therefore, Harden staying in the Thunder is definitely a good match with Westbrook and Durant.

But Durant doesn't seem to admit this, he wants to continue to show his passing ability.

Hold the ball on the left and break through to the basket. After attracting double-teaming, the low-handed ball is given to Perkins who is keeping up.

Perkins catches the ball and dunks with both hands!

Another chance at the basket.

Although Durant has a straight mind in passing the ball, his offensive threat is indeed great.

This kind of super attacker goes to the basket, double-teams him to pass the ball, and directly lets him score. These two bottles of poison must be drunk.

The Clippers chose to let Durant pass the ball to his teammates at the beginning.

Tyronn Lue believes that Durant cannot be allowed to play at the beginning.

It would be better to let the rest of the Thunder score more than let the super attackers go in with full firepower.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight at a critical moment.

Let's not say whether Tyronn Lue's strategy is right or not.

The Thunder's defense is also facing poison, and the Clippers have too many people who can attack with the ball.

Moreover, the three points that Curry, Harden, and Gasol can handle the ball are very difficult to double-team.

The Thunder's double-teaming is already very fierce, and the pressure is very strong, but Gasol's high-level support still found an opportunity.

When the Thunder defenders focused on Curry and Harden who were running, Randolph suddenly turned around and ran back to the basket.

Gasol made a lob pass to the inside, and Randolph caught the ball and made an easy layup!
Just over 4 minutes into the game, the two sides had already scored 9:12, with the Thunder leading by 3 points.

Both sides played a high-quality offensive cooperation, so that the fans did not buy tickets in vain.

"Why is the Thunder still double-teaming? Double-teaming is useless at all. Our Clippers are the team that is least afraid of double-teaming, and the zone defense is better. But for zone defense, we must pinch Curry. Hey Why doesn't Brooks understand? I really want to write him a little note."

Min Congda complained about Brooks in his heart.

Brooks would think in his heart, is zone defense so easy to practice?

If you want to defend in a joint defense, you can do a joint defense. If one of the joint defenses does not defend well, it will completely collapse.

Because the tacit understanding between the players is too much needed, and the players' high concentration is also required.

Once a mistake is made, it is a big mistake. It will give the opponent an absolute chance to open up, and the system will collapse.

And one-on-one, double-teaming and so on are relatively simple and not easy to collapse.

Thunder players have outstanding personal abilities, and using one-on-one or double-teaming is obviously a better defensive strategy.

Subsequently, Randolph held the ball in a low position, turned his back to the basket, held the ball forcefully, and hit the board with a hook.

But Durant wanted to try his hand, broke through the basket but failed to make a throw.

The point difference has been caught up to one point.

The Clippers counterattacked, Curry held the ball to attract two double-teams, and transferred the ball to Harden on the left in a wide range.

Harden caught the ball and made a three-pointer, hit!
Overtake!

At 14:12, the Clippers easily turned the situation around.

Harden scored a three-pointer, and the Thunder called a timeout.

Coach Brooks asked Westbrook to stand up and score more.

During this period of time, the Thunder was supported by Durant alone, and Westbrook's role was a bit small.

So after the timeout, Westbrook began to increase his shots, and rushed to the basket with the ball as soon as he came up.

A lunge passed the defender, cut into the core of the Clippers' basket, and made a forced layup!

Westbrook's layup didn't have any bells and whistles, it was like a helicopter, passing the defender and putting the ball directly into the basket!
The first step of the explosion, as well as the swift action during the layup, made the Clippers defenders not fully react.

The two sides were tied again.

Then, Curry missed an outside jumper.

Westbrook got a backcourt rebound to push the counterattack.

A put into gear to speed up, went straight to the basket, and dunked successfully!
The embarrassment of passing the ball to Tyronn Lue just now disappeared completely.

Westbrook showed his ferocity to the Los Angeles fans with his domineering stride.

He also played in Los Angeles, an excellent guard at UCLA.

"Westbrook is such an exciting player, haha."

Ballmer was very emotional watching Westbrook's dunk. Obviously he likes Westbrook.

Min Congda nodded, but thought in his heart: "If the Thunder can change the direction of training Westbrook, he and Durant can truly combine their swords and pose a threat to the Clippers."

In Min Congda's view, the Thunder did not master Westbrook's instruction manual.
