Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 295 215 [The Sorrow of the Thunder Team]

Why Donovan had such an idea, it was because the facts were in front of him, which forced him to have such an idea.

Donovan must first admit that the Oklahoma City Thunder is now Russell Westbrook's team, and secondly, he must admit that Westbrook is an excellent leader.

But at the same time, he must point out that Russell Westbrook is not a good leader. Maybe he is a qualified leader, but he is definitely not a good leader.

There is definitely a gap between good and good, and that gap can really matter sometimes.

For the Thunder, which is generally seen as having the strength to compete for the championship in the past few seasons, this gap is very important.

In other words, if Russell Westbrook is an excellent leader, then the Thunder may not be able to touch the O'Brien Cup until now.

Carmelo Anthony was an All-Star when he left for the New York Knicks last season.

However, after playing for the Thunder for one season, he turned out to be a "cancer", or a role player. .

In Donovan's view, there is indeed Anthony's own reasons for this, but as the team leader, Russell Westbrook, what contribution has he made to Cameron Anthony's integration? ?

Donovan has Russell Westbrook [-]% in the cloud, but, frankly, deep down in his heart, he has already decided that with Westbrook's current style of play, the team may never win the championship.

"For the Ohlahoma City Thunder, it's not how to rack their brains to deal with the bayonet now. Their top priority is how to face Cameron Anthony who has returned to the top. Just look at tonight's game , Cameron Anthony made consecutive hits at the start and showed a very fiery attitude. In this case, it is definitely a very big test for the Thunder's defense."

"Maybe what the Thunder miss at this time is their dedicated defensive champion Robertson"

After Cameron Anthony hit a series of shots at the beginning, the various commentators on the scene also analyzed the current game situation.

In fact, what everyone said is basically the same. Everyone agrees that the top priority of the Thunder is how to limit Cameron Anthony.

"Through the last game, we have already made it clear that even Paul George is a very good guy on the defensive end, but he still can't stand facing Cameron Anthony who has returned to the top."

"So, in this case, you have to admit that the Thunder need to make a quick choice, whether to continue to send more defensive forces to subdue Cameron Anthony, or to give up defense directly and fight the offense with the Dallas Mavericks"

The implementation of these two methods is not small.

The head coach of the Thunder requested a timeout in the 4th minute of the first quarter. He chose the latter, that is, the team went all out to open up the situation on the offensive end and try to change the passive situation.

After all, the team can still be relied on on the offensive end without much defensive strength.

To be honest, there is really no way for Donovan to make this decision.

Fighting defense with the Dallas Mavericks seems to have almost no hope. On the contrary, fighting offense, more money and the possibility of changing the situation. After all, whether it is Russell Westbrook or Paul George, once they are allowed to play on the offensive end Find the front sight, that is very powerful.

Donovan finally chose to gamble.

After the game continued, under the leadership of Russell Westbrook, the Thunder did indeed show strong firepower on the offensive end.

He directly beat the Dallas Mavericks 11:2, and completed the overtake in one fell swoop.

This forced Dallas Maverick Rick Carlisle to request a timeout immediately.

Of course, compared to Donovan who had no choice but to make a big gamble, Rick Carlisle had more options.

"So, I think we need to be tough. We can't let our opponents continue to bombard our basket."

Rick Carlisle can be said to be full of confidence, and he naturally became domineering when he spoke. During the timeout, he directly and decisively stated that he would fight against the Thunder. Since you want to use offense to solve the problem, then we will accompany you. .

For Jiang Hao, he likes Rick Carlisle with such a personality, because in his basketball values, defense is indeed very important, but the best defense is offense.

Since it is decided to fight with the Thunder on offense, it is definitely not enough to rely on Cameron Anthony alone.

Therefore, when the timeout came back and the cameras on the scene focused on Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao responded immediately as expected.

After receiving a return pass from Cameron Anthony at the top of the arc, he completed a difficult step-back three-pointer against Thunder leader Russell Westbrook.

This trick Jiang Hao actually borrowed from James Harden, because throughout the league, although James Harden's style of play is not very flattering, it must be admitted that James Harden's step-back shot is definitely used The most amazing.

This was the first time Jiang Hao sold a three-pointer tonight, and he made a three-pointer on the first attempt.

For the Thunder, this is definitely not good news.

Especially for the Thunder head coach Donovan, although he is confident in the offensive power of the combination of Russell Westbrook + Paul George, he also knows the power of the combination of Bayonet + Cameron Anthony on the offensive end. Access is also strong.

Sure enough, Donovan's worries were justified. As the game progressed, the bayonet took the lead in going wild on the offensive end.

For everyone, from last game to this one, the Dallas Mavericks' best offensive player is Carmelo Anthony.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that someone will bring up the topic of the state of the bayonet.

Some people think that when Cameron Anthony goes berserk, the state of the bayonet may be affected.

But, at this moment, after the bayonets started to rage on the offensive end, these men had to keep their mouths shut.

Because they developed the bayonet or the bayonet, he just didn't want to go all out, or in other words, the Thunder didn't force him to go all out.

"The Thunder are finally letting the Bayonets go all out, but honestly, it's even kind of sad for this team"

Many people feel distressed for the Thunder. It is absolutely sad that a Thunder team that abandons defense and goes forward bravely on the offensive end is here to go all out.
