Chapter 173 NBA's Whistleblowing Standards (asking for subscription, asking for monthly pass)

In the locker room at halftime, everyone in the Thunder team was happily discussing the game in the first half.

"Lin, your pass is so cool."

What Curry was talking about was Lin Yue's long pass from the quarterback in the second quarter. Like a sniper, the strange arc was given to Durant, who was about to come down, and directly passed the opponent's five players. Durant dunked with both hands to end the attack.

Although this is the first game of the three of them, they can cooperate with each other tacitly. At first, the problem of possession of the ball that Brooks was worried about did not seem to happen to this Thunder team.

"Lin, with your conduction, the team's offense has become much smoother."

As soon as Durant finished speaking, Curry's face changed, and he praised and praised. Lin Yue is indeed strong, but my passing is not weak, okay?

Feeling Curry's small eyes, Durant responded positively.

"It's true, Stephen, your passing needs more practice, it's a bit too forced." Durant pointed out directly.

In fact, Curry also knows in his heart that he is really careless in passing the ball, and often misses the pass. If the opponent tries to double-team with a big man, there will be problems with the ball at this time.

This is caused by height, so he will choose to shoot early before double-teaming.

"Yeah, Lin, I never asked why you can always pass the ball so accurately but rarely make mistakes." Curry asked this question that had troubled him for a long time.

"Observe and judge the possible reaction of the opponent before passing the ball. In fact, passing is also a talent. I don't know the specifics. It is a habit cultivated after playing for so many years." Lin Yue thought for a while and said.

"Say it doesn't mean you haven't said it. I'm also talented, okay?"

"When I was young, my father thought that I would be similar to him when I grew up. Seeing that my growth rate was probably good for a point guard, I kept cultivating my awareness of passing and the ability to handle the ball. Who knew that I grew 10 centimeters in the first year of high school, and then I switched to the forward line. Although the position is different, as long as I have the ball in my hands, the style of play will not change."

……

At the beginning of the second half, the Thunder continued to use the previous starting lineup, and Brooks wanted to observe any shortcomings in this lineup.

The Kings changed their formation. They replaced Casspi, who performed well in the second quarter, and now Casspi has the highest efficiency in the team.

Although Kevin Martin scored 13 points, half of the points came from free throws. Looking at efficiency alone, he scored 9 of 3 and had two turnovers.

This performance made Kings coach Paul Westphal dissatisfied. Facing a smaller guard who is shorter than him, Kevin Martin's efficiency is still not high. It is normal for the team to lag behind in such a performance.

Now that Evans has been selected, both the management and the coach hope to develop him into the core of the team.

But judging from the first show in the first game, it is normal for Lin Yue to have a higher pick than him.

林跃9中4，拿到8分9助攻4篮板1抢断的数据，埃文斯只有7中2，只有6分2助攻2篮板1失误的数据。

Although Evans stated in front of the media more than once that he was here to save the Kings, the actual performance can only prove that this young man with ideals and aspirations is not yet so capable.

"In the first half, the Thunder had led by as much as 17 points. This Thunder team ranked 12th in the team strength rankings given by ESPN in the new season. Compared with last year's last year, their strength has risen to 12 this year after adding Lin Yue. It is completely a playoff-level team."

"And this is what they did in the first game. The young Thunder's three young men performed their duties, three-pointers, two-pointers, breakthroughs, and organization. In the first half alone, the team had as many as 15 assists, and Lin Yue alone had 9. He made 15 of 6 three-pointers, and his 40% shooting percentage was not very high, but it was higher than the average of most teams. This Thunder team's offense is very strong." Reggie Miller analyzed.

If the Kings don't make adjustments, this game will be spent quickly.

"Stephen, in the second half, you can safely take three-pointers. They don't have too many scruples. At this time, the opponent will no longer use double-team tactics, because there are not enough defenders." Lin Yue encouraged Curry to take more shots. The opponent only scored 10 points in the first half. The defensive pressure on the Kings was not too much, but he passed too many balls.

"Okay." Now that Lin Yue had said that, he naturally wouldn't say more.

"KD, you just need to break through. The opponent will definitely not be able to guard you." From the first half of the game, it can be seen that the reason why Casspi is efficient is that his shots are near the free throw line. He is not good at confrontation and is just a shooting player.

"No problem, he won't be able to guard me." Durant is still confident in this aspect. After averaging 25 points per game last season, he asked himself that his scoring average must rise to more than 28 points per game this season. He wants to let the world know the name "Kevin Durant".

"Okay, I'll pass the ball to you, and you can just move around for the rest." Lin Yue said to his teammates.

After the first half, Lin Yue observed the general style of play of the Kings. They rely too much on shooting in singles and cannot play singles. The offensive stability of the Kings is not strong. If Kevin Martin does not get a high score, it will be difficult for them to win.

Lin Yue knew very well that this year's Oklahoma City Thunder lineup is heading for the playoffs, and it is not clear how far they can go in the playoffs.

Now the pattern of the NBA's strong west and weak east is too obvious. If they don't seize the opportunity to win the weak team, they may not make the playoffs in the end.

In the second half, the Thunder launched a fierce attack. Even with a [-]-point difference, they still did not relax on the offensive end.

"KD's one-on-one ability is too strong. Casspi is only a first-year rookie. It is too difficult for him to match up with KD. 80% of the players in the league can't limit his scoring." Reggie Miller said after seeing Durant scoring consecutive points on Casspi.

Reggie Miller is also very envious of Durant. In this era, the referee’s whistle scale is much higher than before. With the intensity of confrontation, many thin players will be given opportunities. Durant is exactly like this without gaining weight and will not be subject to large-scale actions.

This is also the policy introduced by the NBA to protect players. A large scale means more fouls, which may be a good thing for the audience, and the game with strong confrontation is very interesting.

But it is different for players. If they are injured, it will not only cause hidden dangers to their careers, but also directly affect the subsequent contracts.

There are too many talents in the NBA who have fallen due to injuries, so the rules of the NBA have also changed in terms of scale.

It's a pity that Reggie Miller didn't enjoy such a bonus. If it was in this era, maybe he wouldn't be crownless for life.
