Chapter 501 Thunderbolt's True Combat Strength!

Chapter 501 Thunderbolt's True Combat Strength!
Everyone gathers firewood and flames are high, one person is short in wit and two are wise. After all, so many people sat down to discuss something, and they worked out a comprehensive defensive plan: mixed defense, a defensive lineup that combines man-to-man and zone defense. Man-to-man on the outside, zone defense on the inside.

In fact, this defensive method is often used by league teams in the playoffs. This defensive method is quite useful for restricting teams with superstars. It is an organized flanking tactic. For the Thunder It is indeed a very cost-effective lineup. The Thunder's defensive discipline itself is very good, and this kind of defense can best use their advantages.

But this is one of the plans. Their trump card is actually offense. With Durant, Westbrook, and Paul George, three top offensive masters, defense alone cannot defeat the opponent. The Suns are not a team that can be defeated The opponent defeated by defense still has to rely on offense until the end.

The basic principle of basketball is so simple. The one who scores more is the winner. Some teams rely on defense to make their opponent score less than themselves to win, and some teams use offense to make themselves score more than their opponents. Whether it is a defensive team It's still an offensive team, and in the end they all pursue their own scoring more than their opponents.

The Thunder's defense is at the top of the league, and their offense is also at the top of the league, but they still lost two games against the Suns. The reason is that the Suns' letting go is also at the top of the league. That gap allowed the Suns to win two games.

The third game came to Oklahoma City. When Zhang Xin entered the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the home stadium of the Thunder, his ears were filled with curses with malicious intentions, all of which were directed at Zhang Xin—— Thunder fans regard Zhang Xin as the biggest obstacle for Thunder to reach the top. Every time Thunder is about to take the throne, it is Zhang Xin who knocks Thunder out of the dust. The hatred of Thunder fans for Zhang Xin fills the entire Chesapeake Energy Ball museum.

Zhang Xin didn't care, the deeper the opponent's fans hated him, the deeper the home team's fans would love him.

Zhang Xin looked at the expressions of his teammates. None of them showed timidity. Instead, they all showed high fighting spirit. This is the high fighting spirit that only appears in the ever-victorious army. They are used to victory. They despise their opponents, let alone Said to be the fans of the opponent, Zhang Xin showed a satisfied smile, the young people have grown up after all, they know how to face the challenge.

Game start.

Coach Donovan's starting lineup is the same as the previous two games: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Steven Adams, Andre Robertson.

The Suns players are Zhang Xin, Paul Gasol, Batty Hield, Devin Booker, and PJ Tucker.

The five members of Lei Ting all had their faces tightly sullen, serious and solemn, showing a murderous aura in the solemnity, but the murderous aura was contained but not revealed, this kind of murderous aura even frightened Zhang Xin, if the murderous aura was exposed, the hatred was not deep, and the murderous aura contained Not revealing it shows that they are ready to die and survive. Today's game is not easy!
This point was proved after the start of the game. Tonight's Thunder Big Three played very restrained, unlike the previous two games, they only cared about themselves. In the NBA, the cooperation between superstars and superstars has never been a simple 1+1=2 , sometimes it is 1+1=1.2, sometimes 1+1=3, it depends on the compatibility of the superstar's technical characteristics and whether the two parties have made sacrifices for each other. There are no two in the world that can match 100% people.

Just like Zhang Xin and Rondo, Rondo is not very good at scoring, but he is good at organizing passes. Zhang Xin can cooperate well with him, that is, when he is on the court at the same time, he will give up holding the ball and concentrate on running without the ball. If Zhang Xin does not sacrifice himself , then Rondo will only become a burden on the court.

Although the characteristics of the Thunder's Big Three are not the same, all three have the ability to hold the ball. In the last two games, they took turns holding the ball and playing singles. It seems that there are many offensive options, but the real efficiency is not as good as the Suns. That is, the Suns were able to win the game. s reason.

When the Thunder's Big Three began to restrain themselves and start sacrificing for their teammates, the Thunder really broke out their true strength!
Westbrook single-mindedly sorts out the offense, using his explosive power to break through the ball, while Durant uses his top off-the-ball ability to tear the defense for his teammates. Paul George is also an off-the-ball master. He and Durant are at the same time After running, the Suns' defense suddenly struggled. With Paul George and Durant torn apart, Adams repeatedly caught the ball at the basket and dunked!
Zhang Xin nodded: This is the true strength of the Thunder. Once the giants join forces, the power that can be exploded is beyond the reach of role players. Once the consciousness and physical talent of top basketball players cooperate with each other, they will make the opponent despair. Your physical talent is not as good as yours, your skills are not as good as yours, and your consciousness is not as good as yours, so how do you play?
After playing for 3 minutes, the Thunder led by 8 points. Earl Watson quickly called a timeout. Earl Watson came over and asked Zhang Xin how to deal with it. He also saw that the Thunder was terrible today. Zhang Xin took The coach's tactical board, made a few gestures on it, and then said to his teammates:
"Today's Thunder is abnormal, but this is their true strength. They should be so strong, but they are only limited by their inappropriate personal ideas. Now they finally realize their mistake. From now on, they are no longer the Thunder that we beat in two games, we have to take our focus to another level.

What we have to do now is to calm down. Whether it is offense or defense, we need to be more patient. Robertson can let go a little bit and help other teammates defend others. We can let Robertson shoot three-pointers and interfere a little bit. , Adams tried to keep him away from the basket. Today, you can't flank at will. If you want to flank Robertson, the other people must be there at all times. Do you understand what I mean? "

The teammates nodded one after another. What Zhang Xin meant was obvious. The Big Three must flank, but one giant cannot be let go to flank the other giant. They interacted a lot today, and if they were not careful, they would become open opportunities, while Robertson was You can let it go, let's make adjustments when Robertson makes consecutive three-pointers, and before that, just let Robertson go!
"The offense is more patient. The Thunder's current defense method is a mixed defense. It presses the ball holder from the outside and helps defend from the inside. Buddy, give me the ball in a while, and I will attract pincers. , Pay attention, if the opportunity is not good after receiving the ball, don’t rush to shoot, remember our training: the small open space is mainly to attract supplementary defense, look for opportunities to find a large open shot!” Zhang Xin said.
