I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 408 The question is to fight the offense of the role players. The rough guys in the Thunder team are really incomparable!

June 5, American Airlines Center Arena.

On the floor of the Western Conference Finals in 2011, the Mavericks VS Thunder G2 battle started.

Some of the fans at the scene looked at the arena with dull eyes, some held their heads and exclaimed in disbelief, and some even turned around and wanted to leave...

Bang-dang-!
……

Bang-dang-!
The generals of the Mavericks fully demonstrated a team that uses jump shots as its main style of play.

The question is that he is too unstable.

All by hand.

However, they are all hanging out outside, how can they meet... the expectations of the fans!

It just feels like it's coming again!

"The Mavericks made 30 three-pointers and only made nine of them.

Except for Nowitzki, most of the other offensive players have missed shots...

The reason Dirk Nowitzki didn't miss was because he didn't shoot threes..."

People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, so if they don't get stabbed, the Mavericks didn't regard the Thunder team as a real life in this game.

The score was 106 to 100, and the Thunder had the last laugh in the confrontation, tying the big score to 1 to 1.

With the talent and ability of the Thunder team, the [-]-[-] win rate evaluation is likely to be underestimated.

The Thunder are fully capable of playing [-]-[-].

In this game, Westbrook's shooting was not so hip. He made 15 of 7 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points and 4 assists. Looking at the statistics are mediocre, but the victory is online. There are also many performances that cannot be reflected in the data, which are also very eye-catching.

哈登的9投6中，三分球7中4，罚球8中7，高效轰下的23分7篮板4助攻，打成巨星之姿。

Coupled with Durant's stable output, he scored 24 points and 4 assists. The Thunder's three players combined scored 62 points, playing a pair of big and small kings and a cornerstone 2 dominance. In addition, other cards played smoothly .

However, the Mavericks' two-handed rich peasants are short of 5 and 6, and they also shot three-pointers with five people and six without any brains. They thought they could play it, but they were beaten in the face.

史蒂文森5中1，特里3中0，斯托亚科维奇4中1，巴利亚4中1，苏北7中2……

It is obviously impossible to open up space with such a hip-stretching three-pointer. The Thunder can shrink to protect the basket, and the Mavericks' soft side is exposed.

"The Mavericks still took it for granted, thinking that they could take down the Thunder just by attacking.

The rhythm is not controlled, the defense is not strong, and the accuracy is uncontrollable...

If you want hardness without hardness, you need to flirt with no rhythm..."

On the bed... no, if you can do a good job on the field, that's the hell.

……

Two days later, Ford Center Arena.

Night falls.

At this time, the home court of the Thunder is about to host the G3 game against the Mavericks in the Western Conference finals. The lights are bright and the crowds are overwhelming.

During the warm-up, Nowitzki and Kidd's "double base" combination, and the Thunder's Wang Zha combination, chatted about a few cents, without the dignified atmosphere of the Western Conference finals bayonet.

The Mavericks did not regard the Thunder as alive, even if they lost home court advantage.

The Thunder team won a game. Although they had more ideas, they were mainly based on the idea that if they could win another game, they would make money.

At this time, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were also displayed.

The Thunder started with the Five Tigers, Perkins, Ibaka, Durant, Sefolosha, and Westbrook.

The Mavericks started with 5 players, Chandler, Nowitzki, Marion, Subei and Kidd.

The game was broadcast live by TNT radio station, and Barkley partnered with Kenny Smith to explain.

"The Thunder have home-court advantage, and I still like the Mavericks to win.

The question is that the Thunder are too young, the future is theirs, but it is definitely not the present.

The Mavericks are fighting for the day, and this game must be desperate.

Not only to decide the outcome, but also to divide life and death. The Mavericks' offensive and defensive tactics have been fixed. The only thing that will make a fuss must be to prevent the Thunder from playing comfortably. "

"That's true. In the first two games, the Mavericks played too salty. The Thunder wanted to attack, but the Mavericks attacked. They didn't show their defensive skills.

One is because it was too easy to win in G1, and two, the Thunder are really too young to treat them as alive, which is commonplace.

Who would have thought that the talent flow of the Thunder team thought it was very brave, but unexpectedly, it was even braver than the Mavericks team thought. This is unreasonable to everyone...

Just because the talent of the Thunder is so unreasonable, even if the Mavericks try their best to fight, it may be a tough battle. If they want to mess around twice, the Thunder will surrender their guns and surrender. I bet the Thunder will last Verse 4 will determine life and death..."

The game is on!

beep-!
The whistle blew, and the referee threw the basketball high. There was no suspense. The 2-meter Chandler defeated Ibaka and won the ball for the Mavericks.

Su Bei rushed to the frontcourt quickly and was followed by Sefolosha.

"Kidd dribbled the ball to the top arc, didn't make an emergency stop, and pressed the rhythm. That's why he called Su Bei's name."

After receiving the ball, after the three-threat probe, Su Bei broke through with the ball.

Not being famous does not mean not having strength. Sefolosha moved laterally to keep up, fought and retreated, and kept trying to interfere with steals with his hands, not giving Su Bei a comfortable shooting opportunity.

"Su Bei went in, came out again, didn't make a strong play, and gave the ball back to Kidd.

Another quick pass to Marion, who adjusted the Thunder's mobile defense, passed the ball back to Kidd, took the ball a step further, and immediately distributed the ball to Nowitzki.

Catch the ball, jump up, shoot, raise your hand and it's a two-point jump shot..."

Bang-dang-!
Nowitzki's shot was sent, and the two-point strike missed.

"A wave of operations was as fierce as a tiger, and when I looked at the score, it was still hanging at 250.

The Mavericks are less aggressive offensively and know how to flirt... No, mobilize the opponent's defense, when the Thunder's pressure is not so tight, this is the shot..."

The process is very reasonable, but it's a pity that Nowitzki is useless, and the result will only be outside.

However, the Mavericks don't care, because there will be bread, and there will be points.

The key is not offense, but a different way of life, which the Thunder does not have and is not good at: defense!

"Ibaka got the basketball, and the Mavericks didn't bother too much. Except for Kidd pressing Westbrook, everyone else quickly retreated back..."

The card is clear, the Mavericks have started to increase their strength on defense.

Westbrook looked not smart and didn't care about the Mavericks' defensive changes, so he rushed forward with the ball.

"The Thunder couldn't bring up the rhythm and fell into positional warfare.

Durant was closely guarded by Marion and refused to catch the ball. Su Bei went too far. He let Sefoloza take a step away and helped defend on the side with the ball, ready to pounce at any time.

The outside line was strictly guarded, Westbrook decided to go up on his own, dribble strength, explode on the ground, accelerate sprint..."

Kidd also wanted to get on his body and be a good person, but he had no choice. The turtle rushed too fast, and its explosive power was simply inhuman.

"Kidd fights and retreats, throws shots and doesn't let go, Su Bei doesn't hesitate, jumps over to help defend, and joins Kidd in joint defense.

Westbrook went up to the man, pulled the ball up, made a three-step layup, rushed into the Mavericks' dense defense, and forced a shot in the penalty area... No, he passed the ball, and saw Chandler's overwhelming Westbrook couldn't hide from the basket with two hands, so he chose to pass the ball to Ibaka..."

Catch the ball, jump up, and Ibaka shoots an open two-point jumper from close range...

Bang-dang-!
The opportunity came out, but Ibaka's shot was useless, and the basketball also bounced out of the basket.

"Neither did the Thunder's offense.

Ibaka's offense also sent.

The defense of the Mavericks is very interesting. It is very likely that they will block the Thunder's combination of king bombs and let other role players attack.

Offensively, it is necessary to fight for the fineness of the role players. The Mavericks' defense is very structured.

If you keep defending like this, the Thunder will be in danger..."

The question is to fight the offense of the role players, and the rough guys in the Thunder team are really incomparable.

The role players of the Mavericks are all well-known champions, and the Thunder's players are all new stars through the draft, and they are still very functional role players.

To put it bluntly, he is a new star who is too serious about science.

This is a situation where dimensionality reduction strikes!

The Thunder didn't panic during the Mavericks' offensive round, because they didn't understand it, and maybe they didn't care if they understood it.

As long as they can play their talents, they will be invincible, and you can do whatever you want.

"The Thunder's defense is also very fast. Hey, they are defending a zone defense that shrinks the inside and forces the Mavericks to shoot away from the basket, rather than the conventional man-to-man tactics.

Obviously, the G2 game made the Thunder realize that the Mavericks' jump shots are not unsolvable, and they won't always kill people..."

Kidd dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately saw through the Thunder's intentions. He still chose to give it a try. He dribbled the ball and broke through. He was immediately trapped by Durant's help defense and was almost robbed of the ball.

"He went in, and Kidd came out again. After trying out the depth of the Thunder team, Kidd did as the Thunder team wanted, and called Su Bei's name.

Catch the ball, jump up, raise your hand and it's a three-point jump shot..."

Sefolosha took half a step away. After all, he had to defend the zone. He couldn't take care of the defense of the corner three-pointer.

Swish-!
There are bullets, he guessed wrong.

Subei's three-pointer went into the net hollowly.

"Yes, Su Bei's three-pointer immediately hit the Thunder's zone defense.

Hong Kong is true, and the Thunder have no choice, their defense is useless.

If we defend like this, at least we can still grasp the defensive initiative..."

Scores can be lost, but the basket cannot be lost. The Thunder mainly defend the basket.

After all, the Mavericks will definitely miss. If they don't miss it this time, they will definitely miss it next time.

I said!
Off the court, Scott Brooks looked calm, and the tactical execution took effect, which took time to verify.

Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Thunder attacked, Westbrook was pressed by Kidd again.

Facing the pressure, he became reckless again, trying his best to break through all methods. Just now, he failed to break through to the right. This time, he changed direction and rushed to the left.

"Marion rushed over and defended the zone defense, Westbrook still chose to pass the ball...

A post-up hit the ground, the ball goes beyond the three-point line..."

Bang-!
The basketball bounced off the floor and flew into Durant's hands, catching the ball, jumping up, ignoring Marion pounced to try to block the shot, and raising his hand was a three-point jump shot...

Bang-dang-!
"The opportunity came out, but the two-time scoring champion Durant's responsive three-pointer was sent.

The basketball hoop flew out..."

Don't look at 2010 and 2011, Durant won the personal glory of the scoring leader, but the three-point shooting percentage is really mediocre, only 4 of 1.

Compared with Su Bei by three points, it is simply life-or-death.
