Chapter 131 The Strongest Westbrook System
The short timeout ended quickly and the game continued.
Su Yang strode into the arena, recalling how to deal with Harden in his mind, but he didn't find Harden when he glanced around, and then looked at the Thunder bench, Harden was still sitting there obediently, but his eyes were slightly more than before eager.
"It seems that Coach Brooks hasn't realized the value of Harden yet. But then again, the Thunder doesn't have a mature defensive system, and it all depends on Sefolosha to connect. If Harden is replaced, the defense will probably collapse..."
"They still have a way to go. Ibaka hasn't shown his space ability yet. It's embarrassing for Green to play the [-]th position. A heavy center like Krstic doesn't fit the team system, but they still want to find a big center. Pay Gasol and Bynum..."
The referee's whistle brought back Su Yang's thoughts, and Westbrook caught the ball from the bottom line in the backcourt and launched an attack.
Perhaps there was a tactical arrangement during the timeout, and Kostic and Green waited on the wall at the top of the arc at the same time.
But Westbrook dribbled the ball to the left wing, and did not move towards the top of the arc. Instead, he took two strides to break through Davis' defense, and hit the elbow area like lightning, facing the Clippers. Jump up and throw the board.
boom!The rebound of the basketball failed to catch the net.
The Clippers were unguarded at the basket, and Krstic rushed to grab the offensive rebound and took off on the spot to make a tip.
when!The basketball hit the hoop and spun and fell.
Barnes sped up his jump and scrambled, reaching out with Kostic in the air at the same time, and the basketball was forced to fly to the free throw line.Westbrook picked up the basketball in the chaos and slowly brought it to the left wing, while Green, who had returned to defense and ran across the center line, hurried over to set up a wall for cover.
Westbrook feigned a shot, pretended to walk the bottom line but actually walked up the line, and went into the paint with bang bang two steps.
Randolph switched defenses and stepped forward to intercept, the basketball flew into Kostic's hands, and Jordan followed suit to block the shot.
boom!Pegboard hat.
But the referee blew the whistle and called for a foul, and the Clippers bench stood up and shouted. It was a good hat, but the audience cheered too loudly, and it didn't have any effect at all. Krstic stood on the free throw line with a smile and made two free throws. .
In the transition between offense and defense, Su Yang catches the ball and takes it to the right 45 degrees, with the help of Barnes to cover Durant.
After Barnes screened, he turned around and cut inside to set up the wall again, and Randolph took the opportunity to run to the right waist.
Durant turned his head and glanced, chose to take the initiative to retreat a small half-step distance, and even bent his knees and squatted slightly in advance.
This kind of action not only wants to interfere with Su Yang's pass, but also wants to deter Su Yang from shooting, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
Su Yang saw it, thought for half a second, and rushed towards the free throw line.
Durant didn't expect this move, he hurriedly got up to catch up, but was blocked by Randolph in the opposite direction, Jeff Green hurriedly switched defenses to intercept, but Su Yang flashed to the free throw line in a blink of an eye, jumped directly with the ball, and leaned back CIC.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 18 to 8.
Krstic picked up the ball and the basketball retreated out of bounds, Westbrook received the ball and slowly advanced uncharacteristically.
The Thunder team settled in a V-shaped formation, and Kostic went down from his right elbow and blocked Barnes with a wall.
Durant took the opportunity to rush to his right elbow to catch the ball, instantly lowered his center of gravity, forcibly broke through Jordan's interception, took another step and jumped to the basket, staggered and took off with the ball, drifting in the air and making a negative-angle throw, the difficulty could not be higher big.
when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.
Su Yang just received the rebound pass, turned around and ran forward, and the rest of the Clippers quickly followed up.
He rushed to the top of the arc in three seconds, scanned the audience, raised his hand and threw the ball to the left wing.
Randolph catches the ball and rushes to the basket. While running, he suddenly hits the ground and passes the ball towards the basket. At this time, Barnes, who is unguarded, just slips there, easily raises his hand to catch the basketball, and makes a steady Take off and wipe the board.
The basketball rebounded into the net, 20 to 8.
The Thunder made a fast break, and Westbrook dribbled the ball to the right wing of the frontcourt, stopped and passed the ball towards the top of the arc.
Green received the ball and immediately crossed and strode to the left, speeding up as if fleeing for his life, and almost dropped the ball.In a hurry, he slowed down and stopped to stabilize his figure, holding the ball with both hands and throwing it to the left wing, while Sefolosha received the ball and immediately passed the short corner on the left.
Seeing Durant catch the ball with his back, Su Yang risked giving up chasing Sefolosha and quietly stepped forward to attack.
The Thunder's bench spoke out one after another to remind Durant to turn around in a hurry and take a step back.
Barnes and Su Yang raised their heads to look at the ball, without the slightest desire to try to take off and block the shot.
It's too tall, and the speed is so fast, you can't touch it at all, unless you have the height of Yao Ming and the speed of Rose's bullets.
Boom!The basketball hit the circle and bounced back and forth, and finally came out of the basket, sighing everywhere in the arena.
Su Yang took off and caught the rebound, landed on the ground, turned around and ran forward, and rushed to the right elbow of the frontcourt against the siege. Jordan, who cut into the road, was left unattended, and immediately threw it towards the top of the basket, and Jordan received a dunk in the air .
22 to 8, the Thunder are in an embarrassing situation.
The live TV footage showed head coach Brooks with a pensive expression on his face.
The camera turned again, and Westbrook took the ball and rushed to the free throw line in the frontcourt like a bomb that was about to detonate, and slammed into Davis, who was standing ahead of time, the referee whistled for a foul, and Brooks got up Call timeout again.
Su Yang walked back to the bench, listened to Van Gundy's summary and analysis, and chatted with Davis on the sidelines.
"Westbrook is too similar to me when I first entered the league..."
Davis said with a smile: "Obviously I have been deeply influenced by UCLA's tactical system, but I play as if I can't organize an offense, and I often like to shoot some incomprehensible shots, but I do think there is a chance..."
"Westbrook is a straight-forward person, and that kind of personality makes his play style open and close." Su Yang nodded and said: "But it may take a long time before he encounters the most suitable tactical system and tactics for him." coach…"
Before Brooks took over as head coach of the Thunder, Westbrook played under old-school coach Carlesimo.
And Carlesimo is deeply influenced by Popovich, and likes to make tactics very complicated. Even if the center catches the ball, he must first let the point guard run a free throw line to cut the space. The purpose is to reduce the probability of mistakes and ensure efficient tactics. implement.
But Westbrook played the UCLA14 tactical system in college. How to move and how to pass the ball is very familiar. It is difficult to adapt to the new system of Carlesimo. At that time, Durant was still playing shooting guard. Headache.
The Thunder management discovered this problem, dismissed Carlesimo in time, sent Wal Watson away, strengthened Westbrook as the starting point guard, and changed Durant to play small forward, and at the same time let Brooks take over as the coach.
After Brooks came to power, he abolished the complex tactical system, allowing Westbrook and Durant to play freely, and the statistics of the two also skyrocketed, but Brooks has not updated the tactical system, and has always coaxed the two to play.
But if Brooks can't arrange tactics, it must be nonsense.
He made a lot of efforts to balance the player's individual performance and the team's victory. However, the Thunder management and the Thunder boss made stupid operations one after another, resulting in all the efforts not being realized in the end, and he left get out of class sadly.
As a result, Westbrook failed to further improve his organizational skills, and his playing is always easy to get ahead.
What really allows Westbrook to exert its greatest power is the no-center three-pointer system, which has enough space to hit the basket at will, and can easily complete the pass without complicated organization, and can even grab rebounds.
...
While the two chatted, the game continued.
Rookie Eric Maynor came on to replace Westbrook. Su Yang once cooperated with him in the king's trial training, and he agrees with his organizational ability. Probably that is also an important reason why the Thunder chose to trade him.
Durant became the absolute center of gravity, making 4 of 2 shots plus a foul, which improved the Thunder's offense.
But the Clippers' scoring efficiency is still complete. After the first quarter of the game, they lead 38 to 21.
During the holiday break, Su Yang looked around boredly, and suddenly saw Harden on the side of the Thunder bench. It seemed that Harden was asking Coach Brooks to let him play, and Coach Brooks seemed to have finally made up his mind.
