NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

Seeing that the Lakers quickly organized a counterattack, and played very passionately.

On the Thunder team's side, they were a bit stunned for a while.

In the next attack, James Harden originally planned to continue to hold the ball, but was caught by Westbrook, who was approaching.

Westbrook did this without disrespecting James Harden.

On the contrary, he regards Harden as his brother, and will choose to bear the offensive pressure on himself at critical moments.

Through the attack just now, Westbrook also found that James Harden's offensive state and concentration have declined to a large extent recently.

It's okay to play a regular rotation in this situation, but it's the Lakers who are facing it.

Although the Lakers' main players on the inside and outside are not here now, the championship heritage and focus they have shown are rare.

Under normal circumstances, when the team has won three consecutive championships, it is difficult to ensure concentration, and the players will also have a great change in mentality.

This is why it is difficult for a dynasty to last.

In fact, at the beginning of the season, the Lakers also faced the same problem.

But with Bynum injured and Lin Lei and Kobe down one after another, the team has become more united than before.

Because they saw persistence from Lin Lei and Kobe, and where this team should go.

Coupled with the previous loss to the Bobcats with Durant and Howard, they were despised by the other side and the majority of netizens.

Let this team hold their breath from top to bottom, hoping to be able to raise their eyebrows and hold on to the day when Lin Lei and Kobe give it all.

So at this time, the Lakers became a little scary, and each player started desperate defense and unity like a mad dog.

Since the single-point breakthrough ability is no longer as strong as before, the family switched to team basketball.

This is also a play that Phil Jackson adapted and integrated from the triangle offense.

The original intention of the triangle attack is to have three players support and pass on the inside and outside lines, thereby making the ball more flexible. It is the most basic attack method but very effective.

All players understand the essence of the triangle offense and play the ball more flexibly.

In a sense, the team is now somewhat similar to the Spurs' previous style, there is no absolute offensive core and the main force is a key point of holding the ball.

Even Pau Gasol is dreaming back to the top at this moment, and in the confrontation with Ibaka in the interior, he is also not at a disadvantage.

Ibaka is a player who belongs to the physical stream.

While Pau Gasol is a standard European player, he belongs to the pace of his feet, and his offensive skills are more delicate.

When technology and physical confrontation are compared, the comparison is who has the stronger experience.

Pau Gasol just held the ball, facing Ibaka's defense, he also took a false step and directly shook Ibaka up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he didn't hesitate to come up one by one to complete the score. Although the action did not look gorgeous, it was very practical.

Ibaka has learned about Pau Gasol's ability in pace last season, and is actually learning it secretly this season.

However, some Dong (Li Ma Zhao) and Xi are not learned casually, but are summed up from years of basketball experience.

This made him a little angry, but at the same time, Westbrook, the core of the Thunder, came up to comfort Ibaka, saying that he defended very well.

It can be said that since Durant left, Westbrook has become more focused than before, and also knows how to play the core and boss of a team.

He's the Thunder's fastest growing player this season, not claiming he's already in the league -- James Harden.
