genius point guard

Chapter 470 James - Medusa - Harden (23)

Westbrook himself made a mistake. He was afraid that Chen Mo would steal the ball from him again. He was eager to turn around, but let the ball slip out when he received the ball with both hands.The rhythm of this turn is faster than his usual habitual turn rhythm, and Westbrook was so angry that he failed to grasp the rhythm.

The ball hit the unguarded Curry and bounced off the sideline, and the Thunder still had the ball, but this did not prevent Chen Mo from using words to provoke Westbrook.

"There are 48 minutes in a game, and there are 1 seconds in a minute. I can handle Russell (Westbrook) every second."

Westbrook caught the ball angrily and threw a large three-pointer. He was not sure about this kind of ball, but this time the ball went straight to the center of the basket.The ball boosted the morale of the Thunder, and Westbrook roared at the ceiling, in exchange for a tidal wave of boos from Oracle Arena.

Next, the Warriors' offense is still Chen Mo running without the ball, and then taking the ball to shoot.After previous trials, he has discovered that the Thunder's defensive system has nothing to do with it.

This time, Chen Mo had a chance again through running. The Warriors made an elevator door screen. David Lee cooperated with Biedrins to close the elevator door for Chen Mo at the free throw line. Westbrook seemed to be unable to catch up. Chen Mo, he pulled Chen Mo behind him.

The referee blew his whistle, fouled without the ball, and Chen Mo got to the free throw line.

And Westbrook made two fouls in the first quarter, Brooks could only replace him.

Chen Mo made two free throws, and Fisher replaced Westbrook.Chen Mo felt that they had enough initiative in this game.

Fisher is similar to Kidd on the defensive end, and Fisher's awareness is not as good as Kidd's.Of course, the Warriors don't care how good defensive awareness he is against this type of point guard.Grab his weak point of poor mobility directly, and just knock him down.

As soon as Fisher came out, the Warriors immediately adjusted, and Kirilenko replaced Biedrins. In this way, the Thunder's No. 1 and No. 5 positions were all slow-moving players, and Perkins had a great impact on the big players. Wei - Lee also has a height disadvantage, and David - Lee is more prone to shooting opportunities.

The Warriors seized the opportunity and played a wave of offensive climax. They faced Fisher's team, and it was impossible for them to attack with him.Just like when Kidd appeared on the court, the Warriors didn't even think about playing with the Mavericks.

After three consecutive counterattacks, the Thunder's defensive system was shattered by the Warriors.

Coach Brooks called a timeout and began to readjust and arrange.

Chen Mo thought that the opposing coach's adjustment speed was relatively late, and he should have called a timeout when the Warriors made their first counterattack.

Brooks' ability to adjust on the spot is the biggest shortcoming in his skill tree, and his ability in this area is very poor.

The Warriors did not make other adjustments. They continued to emphasize the fast break and made James Harden's response strategy of playing point guard.

Sure enough, Harden was replaced next by the Thunder, and Perkins was also replaced by Nick Collison.

Chrissen is a veteran of the Thunder. He has been with the team since he was selected by the SuperSonics with the 03th overall pick in the first round in 12, and followed the team's relocation from Seattle to Oklahoma City.

Chriss came up to play power forward and Ibaka went to play center.

And Durant was also required to shrink back from the flanks in time to protect the basket. Durant's offensive ability is strong, and his defensive ability has been underestimated, especially his ability to protect the basket.

Durant, who is tall and long, is actually not particularly disadvantaged to anyone in the paint.Especially the block after he quickly recovered, this man's arm will make the offensive players make wrong judgments.

After the Thunder adjusted, they saw the effect. They strengthened the marking of Chen Mo off the ball, mainly focusing on his receiving route.Chen Mo can pass the ball without any dead ends or gaps, but Curry does not have this ability.

If the Warriors can really achieve dual-core drive, their offensive speed can advance faster and more weirdly.It's just that Curry doesn't have Chen Mo's excellent passing ability, but he is still excellent at ordinary ball transfer work.

Chen Mo's threat level off the ball decreased, and Curry handed over the work of organizing the offense to Chen Mo.After Chen Mo made a hand-to-hand pass with Curry, he immediately cooperated with Kirilenko in a pick-and-roll.

Whether it is Kirilenko or Millsap, these are players who have been under Sloan for a long time. They have a deep and special understanding of the pick-and-roll.

This kind of pick-and-roll immediately after receiving the ball keeps up with the pick-and-roll cover, and many players can't cover in place.And Chen Mo couldn't help with the adjustment, but Kirilenko's pick-and-roll was of high quality this time.After Chen Mo got the ball, he didn't do any other moves, he just pulled it up and shot.

Harden failed to squeeze over. In fact, if he really exerted all his strength at the first time, he would have a chance to squeeze over and interfere with Chen Mo's shooting.But his laziness on the defensive end made his defense this time into an eye defense.

"Damn! You're not Queen Medusa, don't stare at him, squeeze over to block the cap." Brooks was in a hurry, he rarely cursed, but this time he couldn't help it.The Thunder's trailing score has already reached double digits. If this continues, they will be beaten by the Warriors!
Although the Thunder's three young players are extremely explosive in scoring and they have a strong ability to turn the tables, but the opponent is the Warriors!How difficult is it to reverse a warrior whose attack power is as strong as a nuclear weapon!

Coach Brooks' yelling didn't change Harden much, and he was still lazy when defending pick-and-rolls.

The Warriors continued to expand the point difference. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors widened the point difference to 16 points.

The 24 to 40 displayed on the scoreboard is extremely glaring, and the Thunder's defensive system did not help them too much.Westbrook said that being replaced had too much impact on the Thunder's defense.

The impact of the Thunder's disruption of the rotation rhythm is not great, and their offensive performance is not too bad, but Westbrook's early exit has too much impact on them.

Westbrook is definitely active enough to defend the Warriors' pick-and-roll.But it was him who was too aggressive, causing him to foul twice.

"It would be perfect if the enthusiasm of the two of them could be reversed." Brooks thought.

However, Harden felt that he was a little wronged. Facing Chen Mo, he felt that his defense was active enough, and it was the Warriors' excellent screen quality.

But now the Thunder is indeed in a very unfavorable situation, they have no way to limit the Warriors' offense at all.In the second quarter of the game, coach Brooks did not let Durant rest. He put all three of the Thunder on the court to strengthen the offense. At this stage without Chen Mo, it was the key for them to grab points.
