Chapter 882 [Needle to Maimang, see who is stronger]

The Thunder averaged no match for the Kings and had a home advantage.

Before the game started, the host analyzed the lineups of both sides and believed that if Westbrook and Aldridge performed well and beat the opponent, the Thunder would have great hope of winning.

This analysis is obviously redundant. Modern basketball has long since no clear matchup, especially the point guard and the inside, which often have misalignment. The King will not let Curry defend Westbrook at all.

Both sides started, but there was no orthodox center.

The five kings: Curry, Wang Jun, Bathir, James, and Martin.

Thunder five: Westbrook, Sefrosha, Durant, Ibaka, Aldridge.

This is the Thunder's usual lineup. They are not afraid of the opponent without a strong inside line. If there is a strong man, let Collison and Bai Ade go up to fight.

The Kings did more thoroughly, and they didn't have a meat shield, just Curry had four forwards. If Curry hadn't had a very accurate three-pointer, and he had reached 455% this season, he would have been as good as Ray Allen.

The Thunder attacks first and the game begins.

The Kings are staring at people, Bathir is defending Durant, Wang Jun is dealing with Westbrook, and James is playing against Aldridge.

This is different from the formation when playing against the Spurs. There must be loopholes in the joint defense. Ade and Durant are too special. Big guys rely on jump shots, so joint defense is equivalent to letting them take action at random.

In the past, many old experts thought that playing like this was a soft ball, but now they have to admit that big men who can shoot are even better.

Westbrook held the ball from the outside, Aldridge picked and rolled the ball in the middle to help him get rid of Wang Jun, and James immediately replaced the defense.

Both sides knew the bottom line. Wei Shao knew how difficult it was to defend Wang Jun and did not make unnecessary attempts. James was also not slow in speed, and he moved horizontally to block the breakthrough route.

Many teams are playing thunder, so they have to be double-teamed at this time. Few insiders can defend against Wei Shao’s breakthrough, but the King is an exception.

Wei Shao was under a lot of pressure, so he protected the ball and looked for his teammates. Wang Jun in the middle blocked Aldridge with close body. Wei Shao dribbled the ball to the bottom line and handed it to Durant on the right 60 degrees.

Durant beat Bathir in one single time, and made a quick stop to jump shot, ignoring the blocking of his eyes, and the goal scored 0 to 2.

Adelman knew that Durant was not afraid of blocking his eyes, and his data against Battier was superstar, but Battier was not as good as James in the inside, controlled rebounds, and had a first pass and fast break, so he was the most suitable for him on the side.

Wang Jun can defend Durant, but when he goes, Wei Shao has to hand it over to Curry, which is not appropriate.

You can't let Bathil go to defend Flosha, right? Then it's better to let Ray Allen appear.

The coach seems to be an easy job, but it is difficult to do it well in fact, and the workload is not small. If you make a plan before the war, you have to consider it from all aspects, otherwise no matter how many stars there are, you may not be able to win.

The experience of the US national team is the best example. It has been defeated continuously since 2000 until Lao K became the head coach. The Dream Team has only lost to Greece in one game since 2006. In 2006, it was still because of the unreasonable lineup. Brand often has to play center.

The king attacked, Wang Jun took the ball outside, and everyone was pulled away, and the person who defended him was Saifrosa.

Thunder is also a man-focused person, and Durant is only responsible for Bathir, a simple task.

Wang Jun brought the three-point line from the right, dribbled the ball behind him and gave his left hand a step back and jumped, avoiding the cover, and missed the shot under interference.

Ibaka grabbed the rebound and fought back immediately. Westbrook received the ball and beat Curry alone, lowered his head and rushed to the inside, making a quick layup, and did not make it under interference. Curry was not a soft persimmon.

After James got the rebound, he gave Batil. Batil passed Wang Jun again, and the King also counterattacked. Wang Jun took the ball frame and used a mysterious step on the right. Sefrosha didn't sway and stood in front of him.

He chose to throw in the middle, avoided the block, and missed the rebound due to interference, and Ibaka got it.

Zhang Heli sighed: "Wang Jun missed two shots, and Saifrosha was really good at defending him, so he followed him."

"No matter how bad the attack is, the Thunder will let him start, but he can't play for too long, which means fewer individual attacks." Yu Jia smiled.

Zhang Heli nodded: "He defended Paul from 11 of 14 in the regular season, and was not afraid of misplaced, but unfortunately he couldn't shoot."

Sefrosa won respect and contract for himself with his strong defense. He is calm and can clearly judge the opponent's breakthrough route. He can clearly capture the opponent's moment of slackness and rarely be confused by many fake moves.

In the Thunder, he often has to make up for the team's weak inside defense. Some people say that he is like a never-tiring devil, shrouding his opponents tightly.

His annual salary is only $3.4 million, and soon showed the reason for such a low price. Curry would not be a weakness in his defense, and he could also help double-team Durant at the bottom line.

Durant almost conceded the ball and barely passed to the open position. Seflosha missed the mid-range shot.

He can easily make a phone shot and often dare not shoot. Most of the shots are open. Even so, his regular season shooting percentage is only 432%, scoring 48 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists.

Wang Jun tried to cooperate with pick-and-roll. Martin was only 206cm tall, and the pick-and-roll effect was far less than that of a big center like Vucevic. Sefrosa quickly caught up from the side and formed a double-team.

Martin cut in the air, Wang Jun blocked Ade and made it difficult to pass the ball, so he gave it to James in the middle, who then slapped Martin, and the time missed. Ade did not retreat slowly, and was mainly responsible for the bottom line and the basket.

Martin received the ball and was reluctant to shoot it, so he passed it out again.

James received the ball and broke through, dribbled the ball under his crotch to his right hand, and gently tapped his right shoulder, as if he was about to break through the middle, then changed direction to the left and passed Ibaka, pulling the ball three steps, and the movements were very perfect.

Adelman allowed James to fight Ibaka alone, which was the right decision. Although Ibaka entered the defense for a while, he was an inside player after all, and his defense breakthrough effect was not as good as Saifrosa.

As soon as James entered the penalty area, he was a big killer weapon that was overturned. He jumped up and made a powerful slash.

Ade was tall and jumped up from the basket. His hand was only pressed on James' wrist and the ball was in. 2 to 2.

Zhang Heliu shouted: "This goal is very morale-enhancing and too strong."

Yu Jia said: "Last year, James also broke out. He had to be able to defend against him. Ibaka defended the outside line, and the effect was definitely not as good as assisting the block. The defensive expert went to deal with Wang Jun and couldn't get away."

Durant received the ball from the outside, turned around and used a "swinging arm loop" towards Bathir, all he could get was air. Bathir had already studied him thoroughly.

Durant lost the shooting rhythm and passed the ball to Gu Shao. The latter broke through in the middle and challenged James again, and made a move.

Wei Shao realized the essence of the breakthrough of the change of directional movements of the dribble under the crotch, and used the attack elements of the dribble under the crotch to the extreme. He could not only stop and kill with one jump shot, but also cut the throat with one sword when he was in close contact with the defensive player during the breakthrough process.

James was shaken away half of his position, turned around and didn't have time to jump. Wei Shao had already stopped and jumped, and the ball made 2-4.

This has become his signature move, and it is difficult to prevent it when it is used frequently.

The fans at home all felt it was very satisfying, and the stars started to compete, mainly singles.

There must be many singles in these two teams, and the switch to defense after pick-and-roll is good, which is not very meaningful. The easiest way is to try to see who is stronger.
