Chapter 203

After entering the playoffs, the Thunder has always played with the most complete lineup. In this game, the Thunder still put on their strongest starting lineup, Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Kay Wen Durant, Serge Ibaka, and Kendrick Perkins all appeared on the stage, and James Harden, the best sixth man of the season, was on the bench ready to appear at any time.

The Kings are also not plagued by injuries. This dialogue between the two teams can be said to be a peak duel presented by the two teams in their strongest form today!
Cousins ​​and Perkins jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Kings took the lead to get the ball. Caron Butler who got the ball gave the ball to Tyreke, and the first round of the game officially started!
Tyreke holds the ball in the front court, and Sabo Sefolosha is facing him.Sefolosha is an important part of the Thunder's starting lineup. As a member of the second team of the best defensive team in the 09-10 season, his defensive style is similar to that of the Grizzlies' defensive champion Tony Allen. Sefolosha is The Thunder are the well-deserved perimeter defenders. Westbrook's defensive enthusiasm is good, but his defensive skills are average. However, with Sefolosha, Westbrook's defensive pressure will be greatly reduced. Once a gambling steal fails, There is also Sefolosha to fill in, and his tactical position in the Thunder is like Jimmy Butler in the Kings.

However, looking at the defensive performance of the two this season, Jimmy's ability to limit is still better. His defense is more fierce and fierce, but Sefolosha still has a stable corner three-pointer ability. Near zero Jimmy can not provide.

A defensive sharp knife like Sefolosha serves as the Thunder's starting second position, and fights against the opponent's main force, giving the Thunder a full perimeter defense. The offensive end is handed over to Durant and Westbrook. Just deal with it, and Harden, a super scorer with weak defensive ability, can lead the second team to continue to maintain the Thunder's offensive firepower. The Thunder's lineup can be said to be the envy of everyone.

For two consecutive rounds of the series, Tyreke faced the league's top perimeter defenders. This is a continuous test of Tyreke's personal offensive ability. Ke's first breakthrough ended in failure. Sefolosha's judgment was very accurate. He did not lose his position and at the same time forced Tyreke to a dead corner to form a double-team with Westbrook. Fortunately, Tyreke Responsive, he immediately chose to split the ball and give it to West on the inside.

Facing Ibaka, who ranked second in the selection of the best defensive player this season, West held the ball with his back, swayed left and right, turned over and stepped back for a jumper. Ibaka flew to block the block and failed. West hit Ben First goal of the game!
West is in a good state in this game. Compared with the Thunder, the advantage of the Kings is also the strong inside.As a strong contender for the best defensive player of the season, Ibaka has the league's top defense ability, but his top defense ability is weak. Facing the short and sturdy power forward West with a strong body and accurate mid-range, Ibaka Bacca's one-sided effect is not good, and the meat shield-type defensive center Perkins is even more stressed when facing Cousins, who has no dead ends in offensive methods. Cousins ​​won twice against the Thunder at the beginning of the season. The high scores of 41 points and 30 points are enough to show that the Thunder's seemingly strong inside defense is not good for the Kings' inside combination.

The Kings' inside combination is really strong, but basketball depends on the overall strength of the entire team. At the same time, the Thunder's two strongest points are the twin stars Durant and Westbrook!

After West scored the Kings' first goal, Durant and Westbrook controlled the rhythm of the game at home for the Thunder. Durant showed great vitality on both ends of the offense and defense. Caron Butler, Durant opened the game with two beautiful mid-range shots for the team. On the defensive end, Durant also completed a wonderful assist defense.Cousins ​​singled out Perkins, and it seemed that he made a beautiful turn and wiped Perkins away. Durant appeared out of nowhere, and at the same time Cousins ​​made a layup, he flew to send a super hot pot!
This block also ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the Pisacek Energy Arena for the first time!
With Durant opened up, Westbrook, another offensive killer, got more space. Facing Jimmy, who was defending himself today, Westbrook dedicated the opening after the first shot missed in the opening Greatest goal ever.Westbrook scored a goal in the front court, a quick change of direction in front of his body, combined with his amazing first step, directly broke through Jimmy from the left, Jimmy wanted to chase and defend, Ibaka stepped forward in time to block Jimmy with his body as a threat Sbrook created a vast offensive space, as Westbrook stretched his body and completed a "C" shape, holding the ball with one hand and dunking with a Tomahawk!
Cousins ​​wanted to try to block it, but Westbrook had already bounced and the ball was bound to go in. Cousins ​​had to watch Westbrook complete the dunk.

The fans cheered, and within a few minutes of the game, the Thunder widened the gap between the two sides.

Although the Kings' scoring points are a bit difficult to defend alone, the Thunder rely on their excellent defenses and defenses to make it difficult for the Kings to display their space. Even if Tyreke passes Sefolosha, Du Rand or Ibaka will definitely step forward to help defend, and since West scored the first goal on the inside, due to West's slow speed, once he tries to rely on Ibaka, he will inevitably be double-teamed. Cousins There is basically no chance of singles against Perkins, and Ibaka, who has the strongest inside defense ability in the league, always pays attention to him.

Both offensive and defensive talents are the top in the league. The Thunder has almost no weaknesses in front of the Kings. What is even more exaggerated is that Harden, the league's best sixth man on the bench, has not yet played!
雷霆队的一波12比4的攻击波让比分在比赛开始后5分钟来到了17比7,国王队被迫喊了暂停。

"Perfect start! Bryan, the team completely overwhelmed the Kings on both offense and defense from the start. Tyreke Evans, who is ranked second in the MVP list this season, has not found his form so far under Saab's strict defense. , In the confrontation between the two most promising young forces in the league, we currently have the upper hand! As I have always believed, the talent our team possesses is absolutely historic. It sounds bluffing, but their hard power is definitely not comparable to ours!"
