The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 242, Confrontation and Defense
"Russell, if they still defend like this later, you just cut in like this. Their current defensive attention is on me and KD."

Westbrook and Li Senlin came to celebrate, and Li Senlin said to Westbrook!

"Well, I see."

Westbrook also knows the opponent's tactics. He is a little unhappy that the Magic chose to let him go short. Why should they double-team Li Senlin and Durant instead of double-teaming him?hum.

Stan Van Gundy relied on Howard to dominate the inside, and arranged an outside double-team tactic against the arrow figures Durant and Li Senlin.

Westbrook also saw the Magic's defensive targeting just now, and this kind of defense can be seen in one round.

The Magic's double-teaming was too decisive, but this time Li Senlin played the ball too fast. They didn't double-team, and halfway through the double-teaming gave Li Senlin a chance to pass the ball.

This kind of tactical double-teaming will test the Thunder's ball transfer ability. If the Thunder's ball transfer is fast, the Magic will suffer a heavy blow, and the tactical cost of double-teaming the two perimeters will be very high.

Because double-teaming means that 1 or 2 role players will be left open. This is the NBA. Even if it is an ordinary player, if you leave him completely open, as long as he plays normally, he can cause a fatal blow to your defense.

This kind of double-teaming is not commonly used in the regular season, and the Thunder rarely encounter such a bold defensive tactic, and it exceeded Brooks' expectations before the game.

Thunder players must quickly adjust their attack style on the court.

White Chocolate dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

Ryan Anderson pulled out the three-point line, received a pass from White Chocolate, turned to face the frame and waited for his teammates to move. Howard covered Carter without the ball on the left, and the latter ran to 30 degrees.

Magic's players are already very proficient in this tactic, and they just used a similar tactic to make the first attack.

Ryan Anderson is a power forward selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 21st overall pick in the first round. He is well-known to Chinese fans because of his competition with the UAE. He is 2.08 meters tall, plays outside, and can shoot three-pointers. The shooting percentage is 37%.

Ibaka quickly went up to defend, and Anderson was not in a hurry. He took the ball and took a step in the middle, and handed it back to White Chocolate at close range.

White Chocolate made an inside pass near the free throw line to Carter who made an air cut, and it was another small-scale pass and cooperation.

The Magic's offensive coordination is much smoother than the Thunder's.

Carter directly gave it to Howard, who was about to reach the position in the low post. Howard took the ball with his back, dribbled a step, turned around and entered the penalty area, pressed Collison in the middle of the three-second zone, and smashed the ball with one hand.

2 is better than 4
Collison didn't lose his position, but his bounce and strength were far behind Howard's. He couldn't block Howard's strong attack at all. Howard couldn't be prevented by carrying it like this, and he was completely blown.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook went up the court and passed the ball to Durant.

Brooks' offensive idea is to build the Thunder's three-star team, with three players as the main attackers, as long as they ensure that the ball is terminated by the three-star team as much as possible, it doesn't matter who owns it. .

The Thunder players all pulled away.

Durant's right side of the frame, his right foot explored, the double-team arrived immediately, and Durant stepped forward with his left foot to break through the baseline.Before Anderson double-teamed, Durant jumped up hard, leaned back to eat Pietrus in front of him, and scored with a hollow ball relying on his height.

4 is better than 4
Pietrus struggled to jump up but couldn't cover it.

Durant has shown super giant demeanor since the start of the season. He has ball control, can shoot, and has learned to take advantage of his body and wingspan. It is a misplacement to hit anyone.

The reason why Van Gundy didn't arrange to defend Durant one-on-one is because he knew that no one could defend Durant in one-on-one duels, but double-teaming may not necessarily prevent him.

The first two offenses of the Thunder are examples. The Magic's rotation is already very fast, but Durant's ability to seize opportunities is faster.

After the opening, Li Senlin was not in a hurry to attack, but kept reading the defense.

Today Brooks transferred Li Senlin to the starting lineup.

With Durant and Westbrook in the starting lineup, Li Senlin doesn't need to start the game to attack with the ball. Brooks' intention to put him up is also very clear, to restrain the Magic's defense and make it easier for the doubles and minors to play.

The time Li Senlin played was in the second team.

The Magic attacked, White Chocolate played a pick-and-roll with Howard in the middle and moved to the left, attracting Li Senlin and Westbrook to switch defenses, and a reverse pass to Carter outside the three-point line.

Carter caught the ball and took a look, ignoring Westbrook's post-defense interference, and made a high-profile three-pointer.

4 is better than 7
After Carter scored the goal, he beat his chest and roared to the sky.

This very simple fit proves that Carter has a good hand today.

Director Zhang looked at the camera and said: "Carter's three-pointers are very high among the swingmen. His domineering dunks make people think that he is just a dunker. If you really think he can only dunk, then You've been fooled."

…………

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook advanced halfway, and gave the ball to Durant, who was still singled out by Durant.

But this time Pietrus and Anderson went up in time and formed a double-team in the low post.

Durant quickly scored the ball to the high position, giving it to Collison.

Collison's scoring mainly relied on the basket and the second offense. His shooting range was too short, and he didn't dare to shoot when he was open. He passed it to Li Senlin who came out of the arc to meet him.

It was Carter who marked Li Senlin.

Li Senlin's simple disguise in front of his body, combined with Owen's extraordinary movements, threw Carter away in one step.

Li Senlin passed Carter so fast that Howard still defended the basket and failed to defend.come out.

Li Senlin made an emergency stop at the free throw line and made a mid-range hit.

6:7.

The defensive intensity of both sides is very strong, but the touch is very good, which led to the success of the first few attacks.

Although the Thunder are back to back, but because the game has just started, the physical fitness is not bad, so the impact is not great.

Carter was passed by Li Senlin, and he lost face a little.

He came over and received a pass from White Chocolate and immediately made a domineering three-pointer, this time against Li Senlin's defense.

The arc is very high.

"Swish"

6:10.

It's just so unreasonable.

"Chinese boy, I will blow you up tonight."

Carter growled at Li Senlin.

Li Senlin looked at Carter and didn't respond. He just gave the ball back to Collison on the baseline and told him to serve quickly and respond with performance.

Westbrook dribbles forward.

This time he didn't give it to Durant, but he pretended to play tactics. As soon as Ibaka came up to cover, he passed the white chocolate, came to the free throw line, and threw a kick against Howard's interference. Lean your hips and torso forward.

"frame."

The Thunder missed their first shot of the game.

Anderson easily grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Carter. Carter was not in a hurry to play a fast break, but kept his pace and played his position.

Carter has a high golf quotient, and his defense is getting better and better as he grows older. He knows very clearly that he can't play fast against the Thunder. If he plays fast, Howard's power will not be able to be displayed.

Carter and Howard picked and rolled from outside the three-point line, took two steps to the right to attract the defense to pass Anderson back.

Anderson received the ball in the middle, facing Ibaka very calmly, held the ball above his head to observe the movement, and gave back the white chocolate on the left.

Howard pushed Collison hard at the basket.

White chocolate doesn't watch people pass.

Howard caught the ball and dunked at the basket again.

6:12.

Coach Brooks off the court frowned, trying to crack the Magic's offensive plan.

The Thunder attacked again.

Durant pulled to the top of the arc and received a pass from Westbrook. Pietrus' defense was very tight and he didn't give Durant a chance to dribble.

But Durant turned around and passed Pietrus.

Anderson's supplementary defense is in place.

Durant didn't divide the ball any more, leaned directly against Anderson, turned around and shot a jumper.

This time the shot was interfered by Anderson, and once the iron was hit, Howard firmly controlled the rebound.

Westbrook shook his fist in frustration when he missed the offensive rebound.

Magic Battlefield.

Carter attacked with the ball.

Anderson took a step outside the three-point line to help Carter get rid of Li Senlin. This time Ibaka switched defenses and did not give Carter a shot. Carter took a step to the right and made a back pass to White Chocolate.

White Chocolate once again had a flash of inspiration, and a large non-stop ball was passed to Anderson outside the three-point line.

Anderson opened the three-point line, and a fake action tricked Ibaka's chasing block.

Suddenly cast cold arrows.

The ball went hollow into the net.

6:15.

Smith said: "The Magic are stronger than last season. The offensive end is almost unstoppable. Except for Howard, everyone is good at shooting. The Thunder are difficult to play."

As soon as the three-pointer was scored, Brooks hesitated, but still did not stop.

He believes in San Shao's ability to adjust, the Magic's offensive touch is too good, and the Thunder's defense does not make too many mistakes.

Ibaka's pick-and-roll for Westbrook was mediocre. Westbrook didn't get rid of the white chocolate. The chance was not good, so he distributed the ball.

Durant then broke through with his personal ability and passed Pietrus. He was double-teamed near the penalty area again and was assigned to Li Senlin who was outside the baseline three-point line. Li Senlin was emptied this time.

Stand still and jump up.

Hengdao immediately.

Lean back three-point shot.

"Shh."

9:15.

Brooks was relieved to see Li Senlin soaring into this crucial three-pointer.

After Li Senlin scored the goal, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and hurried up to defend White Chocolate. Westbrook stared at Carter, and the two switched defenses.

White Chocolate organized in the middle and gave the ball to Howard at close range near the free throw line.

Howard handed it to Carter.

Howard made another fake off-ball screen and suddenly cut. Carter threw the ball directly into the air, but it was a bit too big. He wanted to give Howard an alley-oop.

"frame."

Howard showed off his ultimate bounce, looking at the ball that was about to miss, but he hit it at the top and went straight to the ball for a dunk.

9:17.

"Dwight, well done, kick their asses."

A middle-aged man in the front row jumped up.

There was thunderous applause and cheers at the scene again, and this dunk directly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

"Oh, oh, it's worthy of being the man who only replaced LeBron. This physical fitness is really good, Dwight is superman."

Charles Barkley also praised the dunk.

"Cat cat."

Brooks couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the technical desk for a timeout. .

The Thunder's offense was fine, at a normal level, but their defense was really unsightly. Without Chandler, Collison was weak today. After the Thunder opened, they couldn't even defend a single offense from the Magic.

Li Senlin looked at Howard who was celebrating, touched the sweat on his forehead, and his face was very solemn.

Durant also had a bad expression on his face, and turned his head to exchange a glance with Li Senlin.

Both of them knew that this game was not easy to play.

This game will be more difficult than playing the Lakers and Celtics.
