Chapter 63 Substitute Depth
Durant later found that his offense became very difficult. Totoro started by making it difficult for him to catch the ball. Every time the opponent shot a shot without asking for a block, but he would always reach out to block his eyes as much as possible. It is also likely that Durant There was something wrong with Rand's own mentality. Schoolbag Du's hit rate suddenly changed from the super god who beat Artest to a normal level.

Totoro took the opportunity to score assists and rebounds. Anyway, the little giant promised to give him the ball when he and he were both on the court at the same time, and let him organize the team. Even the team leader said so Well, no matter how uncomfortable Little Heidou looks at himself, he has to wait for the three-pointer to accept his fate with peace of mind at this time.

Totoro, he has never played point guard.

So those basic field control, how to mobilize the team, and playing rhythm Totoro said that he didn't understand at all. The point guard is actually the most important position on the court. They are the brains of the team and the backbone of the team. The head coach, unless the coach is in a certain critical round, will only tell the players a general tactic off the court, and how to understand and execute depends on the ability of a point guard.

Naturally, Totoro doesn’t understand anything, but facing the Supersonics, a downright big team, Totoro said in his heart that he doesn’t need to understand either. Sometimes simple and rough things are far more important than carefully planned and complicated things. There are many effects, just like the current situation, it is impossible for Durant to stop the charging himself, as long as the opponent makes up the defense, he only needs to hand the basketball to the open player.

Of course, Brooks would never pass it on no matter what.
Schoolbag Du really wants to go to Japan now.

He has the same surname as Garnett, who is now the Green Wolf King in the Green Shirts, and his physical fitness is similar. They both have a pair of tall and long arms with decent bounce and accurate jump shots, but physical confrontation is really not their field of expertise. .

He facing Totoro is like Garnett meeting Shaquille O'Neal inside. Although it may not be so exaggerated, the actual effect is like this. He can push himself with his body like a beast, but his vision How much better than Artest?The athletic ability is still a few blocks better than Artest, who is almost 30 years old. Schoolbag Du said that he really can't guard against the opponent.

The new supersonic coach Scott Brooks called a timeout with more than 4 minutes left in the game, but he didn't have any good solutions. The rookie of the grade, the little giant is also a difficult character that needs two or three people to double-team. There are only 5 people on your basketball court, and two people are assigned to double-team Totoro, and two people are assigned to double-team Yao Ming. , Is it necessary to leave that person to defend the other three?
In the end, Scott Brooks changed his team's offensive strategy. He made Durant no longer attack as a ball-holding point, but kept running without the ball, and then handed the ball to Westbrook. Let this violent first-year rookie continue to attack the relatively weak point guard line of the Rockets to open up the situation. If there is a chance, he will go down quickly and strive to increase the speed and offensive rhythm. As for the defense, Coach Brooks has given up. Anyway, he will defend no matter what. Can't help it, it's better to fight against TM together!
They have Yao Ming, who is a big killer in positional warfare, but he is a big drag in shelling. As long as Westbrook can increase his speed, at least they will not suffer.

Brooks has to say that although he is young, he is also an out-and-out famous coach. The Thunder team's strategy was very successful. They caught the Rockets by surprise in the first few rounds, and at the end of the first quarter, they managed to pass the point difference to the Chased back.

In the first quarter, Yao Ming had 7 points and 5 rebounds, Randolph had 6 points and 4 rebounds, Totoro had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. The Rockets almost dominated the Sonics inside.

But the score was 27:27, because in the Supersonics, Durant scored 17 points, Westbrook scored 7 points and 3 assists, and the future Thunder teamed up to contribute 24 points. The outside line of the team, this is something that no one thought of before the game.

Including Artest, who is sitting off the court for almost half a quarter at the moment.

Beast's brain is not very good, but this year is his contract year. If he wants to get another big contract after the Rockets, then no matter how bad his brain is, he can't be confused now.

Moreover, he is also a veteran who has been in the league for almost 10 years. He doesn't need to be reminded at all. He just sits on the bench and calms down a little bit, and he knows where his problem is.

Competing with what others are best at with what I am least good at, it is no wonder that I will be trampled on the ground by the schoolbag Du over and over again.

"You can play for a while with a substitute lineup."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Adelman replaced Artest and the bench together.

Beast’s salary this year is not cheap, 1000 million is not a small amount, the Lakers Anzhu is the same price, if the old coach abandons the four-figure Beast, it is estimated that the stingy Alexander will fire him tomorrow
Artest still has abilities this year, but black players are more ambitious than paper. No one will regard him as a player at the same level as Kobe, James, and Anthony, but he himself is always pretentious. , the old coach suddenly had the idea of ​​playing him as a sixth man. In the confrontation of the substitute lineup, the beast can be used as half of Kobe.

As expected, the Beast is killing all sides when facing the Sonics' bench. The Rockets' bench depth this year is unreasonable. Lowry, Gasol Jr., and David Lee are already a bit against the sky. Artest, it is estimated that the starters of weak teams may not be able to beat them.

At 42:35, by the time Brooks brought up Bagdu and Westbrook, the Sonics had slowly reached the brink of collapse.
Seeing the point difference on the field, this further strengthened Ashuai's previous thought. The sixth man is not a shameful profession. Many people who are better than Artest use this as their job, like a certain captain of a certain team. A handsome Argentine guy with fluttering hair, he hasn't played a few starts since he entered the NBA, but this doesn't affect his status as an All-Star at all.
