Chapter 907 The Best of the Second Month
The Pelicans have twin towers on the inside, and a super organizer like Rondo on the outside, coupled with the league's excellent combo guard Holiday brother Holiday, the team's offensive and defensive structure is very clear.
The team's coach is the offensive madman Gentry, who is very good at training the team's offense, so there is no need to worry about the Pelicans' offense.
As for the defense, there are thick eyebrows and holiday brother one inside and one outside in the starting lineup, and Mr. Tony is on the bench, so there shouldn't be a big problem.
But the shortcomings of this team are still clear at a glance.First of all, they lack a real striker on the table.Brother Nongmei is considered an insider. The team's starting small forward Antoine Moore is only 193cm tall, and this height is short for the 2nd position.Rondo, who plays the 1st position, is only 185cm, and Holiday, who plays the 2nd position, is only 191cm.Originally, the two guns in the backcourt were short, and the No. 3 position was also short. The starting lineup was a bit top-heavy.
When you encounter a strong striker team, do you really expect Brother Nongmei to defend?
Second, this team lacks shooters and 2D players.These people in the starting lineup seem to be able to shoot, but they don't have a stable 3-point shooting point. This is a bit out of place when the league is increasingly emphasizing 3-point shooting.And Rondo's 3 points may be a little better than Lu Yizhong, but not much better.
As for the substitute lineup, Mr. Tony can indeed defend and shoot. It is the same way as Rondo, the kind that opponents will wantonly release.
In this game, the Pelicans encountered a real sufferer.Kaoshen was very uncomfortable playing duck eggs. Even Kanter, who played as a substitute, didn't have much advantage to take advantage of.
Thick eyebrows can blow Patterson off, but pickled peppers can also blow Moore off.
Brother Holiday is indeed a combo guard with both offense and defense in the league, but he still can't restrain Xie Kai.
Xie Kai was able to shoot jump shots on his head at will, and he couldn't stop him with one defense and one defense.
Brother Nongmei is really good, but the Thunder specifically looked for him. When he left the field early due to foul problems, Cousins was targeted continuously.
There was actually no suspense in this game, and it made people see the flaws of the Pelicans.When Xie Kai and Paojiao scored consecutively, the game was over early.
The Thunder refused to lose in a row, and their record came to 14 wins and 2 losses, continuing to rank first in the league.
On November 11, the league ushered in a focus game. The Thunder played at home against last season's Western Conference Finals opponent, the Golden State Warriors.
The core players of both sides are not absent. This is the first match between the two teams this season, so it is naturally highly anticipated.
The Warriors were defeated by the opponent in the Western Conference Finals last season. Durant suffered throughout the summer. Apart from shutting himself up in the training ground to practice, he would not go online. People are hard.
Durant is an NBA superstar who likes surfing the Internet very much. From time to time, he would exchange words with some netizens on social media. He once said, "I want to have a bath with Scarlett!" An old stalk that fans bring up from time to time.
Here's the thing: At the Golden Globe Awards in 2011, when Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson walked on the red carpet, Durant couldn't help but tweet: "Scarlett, I Want to drink your bath water."
Even Xie Kai, an NBA player who is not so gossip, knows about this matter, so it can be seen that this matter has already been spread.He doesn't think Durant is a wretched or even nasty man, at least he dares to say what he thinks in his heart, but he is a superstar after all, and if something is said, it will still have a bad influence on him.
But everyone is an adult, and they have to be responsible for what they say. Durant wants to drink the widow's bath water. This is his personal matter, and outsiders have no right to criticize it.
The Warriors did not make too many adjustments to the lineup during the offseason. Their main rotation players were all there, and they also added forward scorers such as Yang Shaoxia and Casspi.The purpose of their move is to increase the shooting and scoring ability of the rotation. They suffered a disadvantage in this regard when they played against the Thunder last season. The shooting of the rotation was targeted by the opponent, which became one of the important reasons for the failure of the series.
The goal of the Warriors' reinforcements is consistently on the flanks. They have hoarded a large number of players who can defend multiple positions and swing multiple positions on the flanks. They are truly implementing Pat Riley's concept of "future basketball" in reality. up.
They are actually successful. If it weren't for the Grizzlies, Cavaliers and Thunder, they would have hoped to win the championship in the past three seasons.
In this game, the Warriors played extremely badly. Except for Durant and Curry who scored 20 points, the only other player in double figures was Casspi who came off the bench.
As for the Thunder, both Xie Kai and Westbrook scored 30+, and Paojiao scored 18+5+5+2+2. They sniped their opponents at home and ushered in two consecutive victories.
Two days later, the Thunder returned to their home court and narrowly beat the Eastern Pistons, ushering in a 3-game winning streak.
After 3 consecutive victories, the Thunder's record came to 16 wins and 2 losses, continuing to rank first in the league.
The next day, the Thunder played back-to-back away games against the Mavericks.
Relying on Westbrook's triple-double and Xie Kai's quasi-triple-double, the Thunder beat their opponents lightly and ushered in a 4-game winning streak.
On November 11, in the last game of this month, the Thunder beat the Magic away and ushered in a 30-game winning streak.
In this way, the Thunder's games this month are all over.They came to a record of 18 wins and 2 losses, far ahead of other teams, ranking first in the league.
The defending champion is in such a brave state that it worries other aspiring teams.After paying a high luxury tax, if you can no longer achieve results, you can imagine the pressure.
On December 12, the NBA officially announced the best players in the Eastern and Western Conferences last month.
James of the Eastern Cavaliers and Xie Kai of the Western Thunder won this honor.
This is Xie Kai's 12th best month in his NBA regular season career. This is currently the Thunder's No. 08 and No. [-] among rookies in the [-] class.
For Xie Kai, being the Best of the Month can no longer improve his historical status, but it is still an important honor that can help him compete for the MVP of the regular season.
The Thunder played a total of 20 games last month, and they achieved a record of 18 wins and 2 losses.Xie Kai now ranks first in the league scoring list with an average of 31.4 points per game, and various high-level statistics are also far ahead, making people feel his terrifying dominance.
On December 12, the Thunder ushered in their first opponent of the month, the Timberwolves.
The two teams played against each other twice last month, and the Thunder won both.In this game, the Thunder narrowly beat their opponent at home. They have already killed the opponent three times this season, which is considered the opponent's big sufferer.
The Timberwolves have a good record this season. Although they can't beat the Thunder, they are currently ranked 7th in the Western Conference. If this trend continues, they are very likely to enter the playoffs.
