Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 146
The impact of back-to-back came out in the end. In fact, their offense was quite methodical during this period, and the opportunities did come out, but the outside three-pointer-dang, the breakthrough layup-kuang, the free throw shot-Keng, the iron pattern is called more than one, and the voice is called crisp.

That efficiency made Li Sheng feel unbearable to look directly at. If they were not able to grab rebounds, and the midfielder Li Sheng also told them to be more stable and not to blindly pursue passes, so the turnovers were also reduced.

But the score gap is also very small, 66:71, the Thunder temporarily leads by 5 points.

The offensive efficiency of the two teams is relatively average. The Warriors are mainly playing chaotically, and their own rhythm has also been disrupted. The Thunder are purely lacking in physical fitness and losing their focus.

Li Sheng can only constantly adjust and appease them on the sidelines, telling them not to worry, they should still play like this, because this is the correct way of playing, if such an easy chance is not scored, can they still expect to come to the fairy ball every time?

Durant tried a couple of times, but he was indeed not in a good state today, and he could almost be said to have "exchanged" with Curry.

The Thunder's best performer here is Reggie. He is Westbrook's style of play. He either uses speed to eat raw, or plays pick-and-rolls, or uses screens to break through to attract defenses and then split the ball.

Today’s form is good, so playing like this is much more reasonable. The Warriors are really hard to defend against. After all, the Thunder’s ability to pull space is not worse than them.
The inside line is two points, and the outside line is three points. Three points in the inside line equals two points in the outside line. Anyone can calculate this arithmetic problem, let alone a warrior who is originally a three-pointer.

Reggie was in a good mood today. At this time, he had already scored 14 points, which was also a new high for his scoring this season. In addition, he had 3 assists, all of which were points after breakthroughs.

Mark Jackson called a timeout in time. Even if he was as slow as he could see something was wrong, he felt that he needed to adjust it first.

Then after a timeout and returning to the game, the Warriors first adjusted the lineup. Barnes came on to replace the first brother, and O'Neal replaced Bogou.

This lineup is because he saw the spatiality of the Thunder lineup, and he wanted to try it on a whim.

He didn't believe it anymore. Could it be that Curry's breakthrough was not as good as Reggie's?
And let Curry hold the ball twice, and the confidence he consumed on the defensive end will return, which is very important.

After all, as long as the game is not spent immediately, it is still up to the stars to solve it at the critical moment.

Many people think that Curry's key shots are not good. This has something to do with the style of play. It belongs to the explosive style, that is, if I explode, I will kill you.

During the peak period, he can often clock in three quarters, except for the Spurs and the Warriors.

Of course, Curry is indeed limited by his physical condition at critical moments. There is no way to "hardly solve" like Kobe and Jordan, and there are often times when he can't play, which is impressive.

But a basketball game is a whole game, even the playoffs are a series, not just a game or a quarter or a certain minute or even a certain two balls.

If you play well in front of the game and win the game at the critical moment, don't you have to distinguish between good and bad, isn't it the best for winning?

I used to like to use the front to black the key ball, and then I like to use the key ball to black the "three quarters".

Li Yong thinks that Curry's biggest shortcoming is really defense. If he wants to be black, he only needs to focus on this point. After all, Li Yong himself prefers to watch star battles with both offensive and defensive ends, such as Kobe and Wade, Jordan and Kobe, Kobe and McGrady...

Hey, why is it Kobe?

It can only be said that there is a reason why so many people like Kobe.

However, in this game, Curry was facing double-teams with the ball. After the second half, Li Sheng asked the players to implement this goal to the end. If he passed the ball, the Thunder would immediately switch defenses.

People can't be faster than the ball, but the Warriors can't pass the ball casually if they want to pass the ball. They also need to observe the position and even the running position of their teammates.

This gave the Thunder a chance to catch up with the ball, so they came out in a circle, and finally Curry came to catch the ball and execute the shot.

It was a good chance to hit in the end, otherwise the attack would have failed too much.

After Durant returned a jumper, the Warriors went back to the way Curry and Thompson ran without the ball, and then Barnes played singles in the elbow area.

However, this time, there was no good opportunity to cover up. The tactics were not successful every time. Both Reggie and Sefolosha were tightly entangled, so that the two in the backcourt could not get a good chance to catch the ball, and Durant did not allow him to easily shoot when facing Barnes.

Although Jermaine O'Neal held Alton, he had a chance, but the ball couldn't reach him.

Then it was Thompson who received a pass from David Lee and hit a mid-range shot directly against Ibaka.

Thompson has another shooting posture, which is a bit like a two-stage style, which makes his mid-range shots very stable, even more stable than three-pointers, but the benefits of three-pointers are greater, and naturally he shoots more three-pointers.

But in the playoffs, CIC is definitely a more lethal weapon.

"Thompson scored another goal. Thompson was very efficient in this game, almost carrying the team forward..."

This is of course an exaggeration. After all, Barnes and David Lee have performed well, and Curry has also made his own contribution.

But looking at the scene, it does have the meaning of "seeing Tang God in adversity".

"The two teams are now only two points behind. The Thunder seem to be greatly affected by back-to-backs. Their offensive efficiency has dropped a lot compared to the first half. Now it depends on whether the defense can be stabilized."

Of course the defense can be stabilized, but it is impossible to completely restrict it, especially when Thompson started again.

The characteristic of splashes is that three-pointers come out in clusters. If you don't interrupt at this time, you will be taught to be a man by reality.

So when Thompson hit another three-pointer and the point difference between the two teams was tied again, Li Sheng directly called a timeout.

But this timeout is mainly to interrupt his touch, and the second is to rearrange, "James, you go on the court..."

The part where Ennis and Jackson cooperated today felt pretty good, so Li Sheng arranged the pair of dual controllers again, and then replaced Ibaka, and let Antetokounmpo take the fourth position.

This is to increase the rotation speed of the inside line, especially when the Warriors want to frequently put up line screens to give the shooter a chance. Antetokounmpo's mobility allows him to interfere first.

The effect of interference is another matter, but this must be done, and the opponent cannot easily get a chance to make a move.

As for the inside line, Alton and Xiao Ao are still very entangled, so let's keep it.

Jermaine O'Neal has also experienced injuries and is no longer as brave as he used to be. Now his offense and defense are much worse than in his peak period, and his strength is much weaker. At least he can definitely eat Orton raw before.
