the great gatsby

Chapter 565 The heart is floating!

Not long after the start of the game, the Lakers widened the point difference to 9 points. Coach Donovan was a little annoyed: Who said that the Lakers scored 3 points in 16 minutes, which is not high. Call Gao, does it have to be 35 seconds and 13 minutes like McGrady to be called scoring explosive power?
The Lakers have not missed a single shot from the start of the game to now. Although the pace is slow, the efficiency is ridiculously high.

The game was still going on, and the Lakers were unhurriedly attacking the position again and again. After shooting, they gave up the offensive rebound and went back to the defense. The Thunder couldn't find a chance to counterattack and were forced to drag into the positional battle.

Durant felt that playing the Lakers was more uncomfortable than playing against the Spurs. The Lakers' ability to control the rhythm is too strong, and the ability to control mistakes is also shocking. After playing for almost a quarter, the Lakers only made one mistake!
In the second quarter, Gatsby rested on the bench, while the Thunder had both Westbrook and Durant on the court. They played for a long time, and it didn't matter if they played a little longer. After giving the Thunder a chance, Deron couldn't restrain Westbrook, and Westbrook finally ran!

Westbrook ran one-stop twice in a row, hitting the Lakers' basket and dunking successfully. The hot-blooded Westbrook even yelled at Gatsby, which was a bit obvious and the referee called a technical foul.

Gatsby fouled Westbrook while sitting off the court.

The Lakers bench burst into laughter.

Gatsby smiled helplessly.

But when Gates couldn't match, the Thunder did play their own style. In half a quarter, the Thunder closed the score within ten points, and Jim Iron quickly replaced Gatsby and the other starters.

Durant and Westbrook looked a little tired. Durant was not a physical monster, and he played for a quarter and a half without rest. Does this mean that he should play the whole game?

Westbrook has relatively good physical strength, but he has been rushing too hard during this period, and he already feels a little out of breath. Gatsby winked at Kobe, and Kobe smiled.

The Lakers had the ball, and Gatsby advanced to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Gasol, ran in and circled around the bottom corner, and Kobe made a hand-off with Gasol, waiting for the threat. Sbrook, then shook his shoulders against Westbrook twice in a row, shaking Westbrook up, Kobe took off against Westbrook, and scored a 2+1!

Westbrook patted his head in frustration, Kobe and Gatsby looked at each other and smiled, Westbrook is very tired now, his judgment has gone wrong, and Kobe flew into the air with a sway, which is so easy to target.

Kobe made an additional free throw, and the point difference was 13 points.

The Lakers returned to the defense, chased and intercepted Durant, and directly emptied Robertson. Robertson missed three consecutive three-pointers and dared not shoot. But coach Donovan dared not replace him, because Robertson was a The person who is most suitable for defending Gatsby, although he can't defend against it, is better than other people's defense.

But when the opponent has someone who can let go, how much does it help the defense? This means that one person can check for leaks and fill in the gaps at any time, and the opponent's offensive players have to face the flanking attack of two people at any time, even if it is an indistinguishable player like Durant. The attackers also felt extremely difficult.

Gatsby is also involved in blocking Durant. As for Westbrook, he only guards against his breakthrough and mid-range. Three-pointers are basically released, because Westbrook's three-pointers are not allowed tonight. Leak happens to rain all night, that's it.

The Lakers took advantage of the right time, place, and people to attack the Thunder in all directions. The Thunder didn't play like a super team, but an ordinary playoff team. They were at a loss under the attack of the Lakers.

At halftime, the Thunder trailed by 22 points. Experts were stunned. They originally thought the Thunder would have an advantage, but they did not expect that the Thunder would be so beaten against the Lakers. The Thunder did not play a decent offense. , except for some performance when playing against the Lakers' rotation lineup, he was beaten to death when facing the starting lineup!
Durant was so angry that he threw the towel, and Robertson followed back to the locker room anxiously. He thought that it would be great if the coach could replace him. Normally, no one in the league can really guard against Gatsby, but they are always shorted, and they dare not make shots, and they can't make shots. It's normal to take the blame, right?
But everyone knows that he is not very good at voting. Brother, I really don’t know how to vote!
I don't know who to send Durant's anger on, Westbrook?He had worked hard enough tonight, and he didn't attack mindlessly. After all, it was Gatsby who was defending him, so it was normal that he didn't play much.

Resent Robertson?That's not right. Robertson's position is to defend. Defending Gatsby is the most critical thing, and whether he can make a shot is the second.

Ibaka protects rebounds very well, and it’s okay to eat cakes. It’s really good to have Ibaka on defense, but the Lakers’ ball conduction is too good, and they can always find open spots. Ibaka wants to help defend and block shots. Great opportunity.

Adams did a pretty good job. He grabbed several offensive rebounds tonight and showed his toughness, which is pretty good.

So who is to blame, Coach Donovan?
Durant was a little dazed. For the first time, he felt the congenital flaw of the Thunder team-the tactical system was congenitally deficient!
A team with him as the core, obviously brought his fighting power to the extreme, but why can't win the championship, is this his own problem?
But he doesn't occupy much possession of the ball, mostly off the ball, has high efficiency, and has done a good job in all aspects. Otherwise, he would not be able to become the top small forward in the league. So, what is the problem?

After much deliberation, the only problem is the tactical system.

It's not that these coaches don't have their own tactical system, but that they have to adapt to players like the Thunder, so they will eventually be transformed into what they are today. In this way, the Thunder is a strong team, but as long as it comes to head-to-head, the Thunder will always be unavoidable. The current situation will appear. When the core is blocked, the team is in a desperate situation!

But now Leiting has accumulated a lot, and even if he wants to change it, he can't change it. What should we do!

Durant fell into confusion, and this emotion carried into the second half. He became hesitant on the court, wanting to attack and pass the ball. As a result, he failed to make offensive passes and made more mistakes. In the third quarter After the game, the Thunder lost by 30 points and the situation was over!

At the end of the game, Durant watched Gatsby walk into the player tunnel, thinking about why Gatsby was able to achieve his current results in such a short time since entering the league, and he was stunned for a while.

Westbrook walked into the player tunnel on his own, ignoring Durant. Durant glanced at Westbrook and sighed, not knowing what he was sighing about.
