King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 202 Talented people can do whatever they want
After Westbrook left the field, he was replaced by Daquan Cook. The Kings also chose to let Udry play, veteran against veteran.

"Hey, whoever started talking about taking the win from us, the future, sorry, we're taking that one back."

"Without the protection of the referee, Westbrook obediently went down to rest in one round. Don't worry, Westbrook wants to become the number one point guard, why should he retire? But it seems that Westbrook is relatively old."

After Udrih came on the court, the Kings continued to focus their offense on the inside, but this time the Thunder's inside combination defense began to play a role, and the offensive efficiency of West and Cousins ​​began to decrease.

In contrast to the Thunder, after Cook came on the court, he was more of a three-point shooter, and it was Harden who came on the bench for Sefolosha who was really in charge of scheduling.

Harden came on stage with his iconic beard. Just looking at his appearance, you must think that Harden is a team villain and a shit messer on the court.

But he is actually a better court commander than Westbrook. The Thunder's second team this season was led by Harden.The Thunder also think he is a strong contender for the best sixth man.

Harden easily used his strong body to squeeze and lean. Although Casspi, a white guard, was tall, he obviously couldn't bear such strength.

At the moment Casspi stagnated, Harden suddenly accelerated quickly and rushed into the inside line. Under Iguodala's supplementary defense, Harden cleverly distributed it to Durant.

This 211cm shooter made a direct three-point shot, which was also the first shot of the game, and the basketball entered the basket steadily.

This successful goal also suppressed the king's rhythm of taking advantage of the opportunity.

"Boys in Sacramento, we're a team with three players. One rests and the others follow."

Durant deserves to be the scoring leader for two consecutive seasons, and he is not afraid of Iguodala's defense at all.

Iguodala's height is not tall enough for Durant, not to mention the pair of long arms, so once Iguodala loses his position at the first time, it will be difficult for him to shoot Durant cause disturbance.

Iguodala relies more on blocking Durant's foot or stealing when he raises his hand at the moment of his shot.

The problem is that Harden is not something that Casspi can restrain. He breaks through Casspi one after another to destroy the entire King's defense. Durant and Ibaka's three-pointers feel explosive during this period. .

"Our Thunder's three juniors and the others are going crazy together, you can't hold it?" Seeing that the Thunder started to gain the upper hand again, the Thunder fans began to find their rhythm again.

The Kings fans were all frowning on the court. After He Yixiang left the court, the Kings' offense came to a standstill.

When Iguodala was in a bad state, Cousins ​​should have stood up, but he attacked twice in a row, hit the iron once, and was fouled by Ibaka once, and now he is forced to end.

It has to be said that the division of labor of the Thunder team is extremely clear, with three cores on the outside to attack with the ball, Perkins on the inside as a meat shield, and Ibaka to assist in defense and pick-and-roll defense.Throw in a couple of [-]-point shooters, and this is a team with almost no downsides.

The Kings hit another iron, Ibaka directly grabbed the rebound and quickly launched a counterattack, a pass to Harden, a bulldozer-style push all the way to Durant, who followed up in the middle, and Durant took off At the same time, Harden has begun to raise his hands upwards, signaling the Thunder fans to hurry up and cheer.

The dunk and cheers from the Thunder detonated the Ford Center arena together. The cries of "We are unstoppable" grew louder.Amidst such strong away calls, it can be seen that the Kings players are a little confused.

"Iguodala and West are both old players on the court, why can't they stabilize the rhythm at all." Barkley shook his head, sympathizing with the current situation of the King, "Now why does the King need to come back sooner? , although I don't want to admit it, but the king without He and Cousins ​​may be defeated by these two young masters."

Iguodala was very helpless about the opponent's offense. At the beginning, the King restricted other people very well, so Durant didn't get a good chance, but now Durant is completely liberated.

Durant once again used the off-ball pick-and-roll to receive Harden's point from outside the three-point line, and Casspi's ultra-long three-pointer against the supplementary defense made another shot. He has already scored 10 points, and this is only It took 5 calls.

Brooks applauded. This is the Thunder team he leads. The offense completely relies on the personal ability of the Thunder's three juniors to tear apart the opponent's defense. What he has to worry about is how to keep the Thunder team's defense up to their offense. That's all.

To describe the smile on Brooks' face in one sentence, it is that talented people can really do whatever they want.

Harden once again faced Casspi's defense with the ball, and Casspi, who changed direction in front of him twice in a row, retreated again and again.Afraid of Harden's breakthrough, he was already one step away, and with these two shakes, Harden already had enough space to shoot a three-pointer.

With a sudden step back and raising his hand, Casspi, who had already been beaten by Harden, panicked. The score was already down to 8 points. If he made another goal, he would be stretched to double digits.

Casspi, who didn't want the team to fall further behind, rushed forward, but what he didn't expect was that Harden's goal was just a fake move.He paused and collided with Casspi in the air against Casspi's defense.

The referee blew his whistle with dignity, and Harden got three free throw opportunities, which was a huge blow to the Kings.With three free throws, the Thunder have led by as much as 11 points at home.

Yes, this rough-looking guy is a smart guy who plays the ball, breaks through the ball, draws fouls, and is omnipotent.The presence on the field is explosive.

"Garcia, you go, Harden is in your hands, don't let him do whatever he wants." Westphal was a bit troubled by Casspi's defense. He entered the league at one time, and he was a black man, but he was as smart as he could be when playing the ball.

Casspi seemed extremely annoyed after being substituted, not because he was annoyed because he was substituted, but because he did not complete his task well when he was on the field.

Not only did he fail to defend Harden well, but he also hit all three three-pointers. The gap between the sixth men of the two teams was fully revealed during this period of time.
