Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 204
"Play calmly! Don't panic! Let's run tactically! The defense doesn't need to be completely locked up, just get stuck, and don't let the opponent shoot comfortably! Double-team! Double-team Kevin Durant!" Westfa Coach Al was banging on the tactical board vigorously on the sidelines and roaring. The situation was already not optimistic at the beginning of the game, and Coach Westphal also seemed a little anxious.

Returning to the game after the timeout, Tyreke seized the Thunder's defensive gap and made a sneak attack at the basket, and then assisted Caron Butler to hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Just when the Kings were showing signs of momentum, the Thunder again Overwhelmed the Kings.Durant and Westbrook cooperated. After the pick and roll, Westbrook gave Durant who was briefly open. Durant made a three-pointer, and then Durant played Caron Bart with the ball. Le, the cross step directly swayed Caron Butler, Durant's strides were huge, and after passing Caron Butler, he only took two steps and killed the basket.
Durant clenched his fists and roared towards the auditorium. Today's Thunder team is in such a good state!
The Kings scored 21 points in the first quarter, but the scene looked fragmented. Under the overall defensive strategy of the Thunder, the offensive tactics were not smooth. The offense was smooth and flowing, and the Kings were completely in a state of focusing on one thing and losing another. The Thunder scored as many as 36 points in the first quarter, and Durant scored 18 points alone!
"Kevin showed his scoring ability unreservedly in the first quarter. Although this season's scoring champion was taken away by Tyreke Evans, judging from the first quarter of this game, Kevin is the better scoring machine!"

"This is Bryan. Kevin has the height of a center, but his shooting touch is so smooth, and he has the deft direction of a guard. Kevin is born to score! Although Tyreke Evans The season won the scoring champion this season, but the gap between him and Kevin's personal scoring average this season is not too big, and part of the reason is the crazy personal scoring performance during the absence of the Kings' main players. Terry Ke's scoring methods are still not as diverse as Kevin's. Although Tyreke is a top breakthrough player, we will find that it is easier to score under high-intensity defense when it comes to the high-intensity and targeted stage of the playoffs. It's Kevin!"

The two commentators were not stingy with compliments to Kevin Durant, and Durant did the same in the first quarter, completely ignoring the defense and cutting melons and vegetables at will.The difficulties faced by the Kings are not limited to these. When the game entered the second quarter, the Kings still could not find a way to break through the predicament.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder began to rotate Durant and Westbrook, and the Kings, who were behind, were still doing their best. Among the starting five, Tyreke and Jimmy hadn't rested yet.

Although the Thunder's twin stars have started to rotate, the Thunder's offensive firepower has not declined. Harden, who came off the bench, continued to provide a stable firepower output for the Thunder. Durant, Westbrook, and Harden no matter who is partnered with , or leading the team alone, the Thunder have a strong offensive firepower on the court. No matter who holds the ball among the three, they are a huge threat to the defender.As the only outside strong point of the Kings, Tyreke is struggling to play. Under the high-intensity defense, as his physical strength declines, Tyreke's offensive efficiency becomes lower and lower. In view of this, the Kings' offense has not been smooth, and the inside can only rely on personal ability to end the offense when receiving the ball. Whether they can make it depends on the sky.The meaningless individual singles and successive mistakes gradually wiped out the spirit of the Kings.
At the end of the halftime game, the Thunder led the Kings by 70 points 42 to 29 at home. It is completely impossible to see that these are two teams that are only one game apart in the regular season.

Entering the second half, Tyreke finally found the offensive rhythm in this quarter, repeatedly breaking through and causing damage. At the same time, other positions of the Kings also got opportunities. The Kings also played a wave of counterattacks under the leadership of Tyreke. It caught up to within 20 points, but after the Thunder paused and adjusted, the direction of the game changed instantly.

As long as Tyreke holds the ball, the Thunder will double-team and shrink the inside line. Once Tyreke finds an extraordinary rhythm, Tyreke’s breakthrough threat is huge. Anti-Tyreek’s breakthrough is the consensus of all teams in the league. It can also be seen from the counterattack of the Kings in the second half that the Kings are extremely dependent on Tyreke's breakthrough to create shooting space for others. Strangling Tyreke is choking the Kings!

The Thunder still maintained a stable performance on the offensive end. As the Kings' offense was once again blocked, the Thunder once again opened up the point difference.
"Look, Grant, the Kings' entire perimeter is really too dependent on Tyreke Evans. Apart from him, the Kings' perimeter is not only a shooter but also a defender. Last season, before Caron Butler was injured, he still had it. Good singles ability, but now he is just a spot-up shooter. The Kings' offensive ability to hold the ball from the outside is really bad. At the same time, although DeMarcus Cousins ​​has good strength inside, he is not strong enough. Once you get the ball, you need to double-team it. Once Tyreke, the ball-holding point, gets stuck in the quagmire, the operation of the Kings will be very problematic."

"That's right, the Kings rely too much on Tyreke's personal ability. When facing an average team or a team with a certain strength, Tyreke can easily rely on his personal ability to revitalize the team, or the Kings have the upper hand as a whole." Strength can cover up this phenomenon, but when faced with us whose overall strength is not weaker than the Kings or even stronger than the Kings, and everyone is fighting to the death without reservation in the playoffs, once Tyreke can't fully open, the Kings will be like life. Rusty machinery, slow and fragile."

The Kings did not show any momentum to chase points. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Kings trailed the Thunder by 35 points. The game entered garbage time. When Tyreke was replaced by Thomas Jr. for the last time, Tyreke gasped. With a heavy breath, he looked at the huge score difference on the scoreboard with his hips on his hips. Although he was unwilling, his eyes were full of helplessness.
最终国王队在西部半决赛首战以90比120，30分的巨大劣势惨败于雷霆队，杜兰特拿下40分11板6助的精彩数据，威斯布鲁克和哈登也轻松拿下20+，国王队除了泰瑞克以23投8中的命中率拿下24分5板6助外，仅有韦斯特和考辛斯得分超过两位数。在皮萨切克能源球馆的欢呼声中，泰瑞克第一个离场消失在了球员通道中.
