Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 183: young battlefield
Korver's performance on the offensive end allowed the Nets to suppress the Thunder and gain a 5-point lead. The pressure must not allow the super sixth man of the Thunder to open up the situation on the court.
The outstanding performance of a season has made many people pay more and more attention to Harden. At the same time, they also noticed that this potential third pick has the potential of an All-Star player, but the slightly bleak revenue of the Thunder may be true. Powerless to keep their brilliant young men at the same time. According to last season's financial report, the Thunder made a profit of only $15 million after reaching the Western Conference finals. This is because Durant's contract has not been fulfilled, and Westbrook has not signed a new contract. In the future, they still need to renew Harden and Ibaka. The main problem in operation is reflected in the market size of the city of Oklahoma, but this is the transfer initiated by the team owner Bennett. So far, Bennett is still hated by Seattle fans.
The Nets resolutely adopted a double-team tactic against Harden. Harden's scoring was still timely, but the Thunder's backup small forward Haward hesitated a little and lost his chance to make a shot, and then adjusted, the Nets. The team's defense is in place. The ball had to be handed over to Fisher to organize. However, there was not much time left for the attack. Fisher reluctantly shot and was blocked by Jeremy Lin.
It is a metaphysical belief that Fisher can give the team the experience of critical moments. Facing a speed-type point guard, Fisher's defense is definitely a colander-like existence. However, Brooks likes to use him, and Stevens is also very straightforward. Facing a top-level team like the Thunder, any detail in the game. You have to dig it well, not to mention such a big loophole, if you don't grasp it, you will feel sorry for yourself!
Jeremy Lin, who got the opportunity to perform, showed the courage to compete with Harden. What about Harden's best sixth man? On the way to the NBA, didn't Jeremy Lin get today's praise by defeating the opponents in front of him?
Compared with the shortcomings of the Thunder's rotation lineup, the Nets' perimeter Fernandez, Anderson and Korver's three-point shooting percentages are all above 36% this season. Bigger is not even acceptable. After being beaten into two by Jeremy Lin in consecutive positional battles, the difference between the two sides widened to 9 points. Brooks reluctantly sent Durant back to the court. At this time, the first quarter was not over yet.
Durant, who doesn't have enough rest, has an average offensive feel, but he can indeed interfere with the Nets' offense by relying on his BT's physical condition on the defensive end. As a guest power forward, he can not only cover Anderson, but also seize the opportunity to defend Jeremy Lin. It was very good, and in the last defense of the first quarter, Jeremy Lin's layup was successfully fanned out of the court.
"This physical condition is too good for basketball!" Jiang Mingliang, who was in front of the TV, also envied. He was indeed his only ALLIN player.
Of course, either way, the Nets went into the second quarter with an eight-point lead, which was a good sign.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Durant rested, and the Thunder switched to Westbrook and Harden to lead the team's offense. Compared with Durant's hurried play at the end of the first quarter just now, Westbrook has been fully rested, and he is known for his physical BT. It is not a problem to play for 40 minutes in a game. A strong breakthrough scored the ball, and caused Jeremy Lin to foul and got the opportunity to add a penalty.
Westbrook is a nightmare for most guards who rely on their bodies to play. Most point guards with outstanding physical fitness are accustomed to bullying others with physical fitness, and Westbrook, in addition to being relatively less top-notch in terms of flexibility, other aspects of physical fitness are almost the top match for the position of the point guard. With the ball in his hand, he also significantly suppressed Jeremy Lin.
After entering the Nets, Jeremy Lin has made great progress in defense, but it is too embarrassing for him to deal with a point guard like Westbrook. After being beaten into three by Westbrook in a row, the difference was reduced to 4 points. Stevens made adjustments, Bledsoe and Leonard came on stage, replacing Anderson and Jeremy Lin.
Compared with Jeremy Lin, Bledsoe's choice is more wise when dealing with Westbrook. On the offensive end, besides dribbling the ball over half court, the rest is running, covering her teammates, involving space, basically. Not holding the ball will consume Westbrook's physical strength and put all his energy on the defensive end. This approach of only focusing on one side of the offense and defense is easier to achieve when facing players like Westbrook. After all, in a big-four-small lineup, the Nets used Leonard at No. 4 to fight Corey. Sen's advantage is always to create shooting opportunities, and Brooks is slightly conservative when facing the Nets' lineup, neither keeping up with the selection of substitutions, nor replacing Durant, Ibaka, etc. A player suitable for switching defenses, the Nets regained the advantage.
In the previous life, when the Thunder faced the Heat in the finals, they stubbornly put the column-shaped center Perkins on the court, but the Heat's Shane Battier hit consecutive three-pointers with a very high hit rate, resulting in the final 4. :1 big score. Why in the end, the Thunder and Celtics trade looks like a lose-lose~www.readwn.com~The Thunder lost a Jeff Green who could contribute to this play, and the Celtics The thickness of the inside line that people are proud of against the Heat is gone.
Brooks is a good player in cultivating rookies, grasping defense, and establishing his own system. But on the offensive end, there are obvious deficiencies in on-the-spot adjustment, which is also an important reason why he was able to survive the lower limit of the operation of the Thunder management's various waste of resources, but he was unable to lead the team to truly impact the championship!
Durant and George came on the court successively, and the two sides entered the showdown of the strongest lineup. The Nets insisted on small-ball tactics, and the player in the interior line was West, who was not very good at protecting the rim, which made it easier for the Thunder to score. , especially the pick-and-rolls of Durant and Westbrook, making it difficult for the Nets to parry. Conversely, on the offensive end, the Nets also frequently took advantage of Perkins' slow movement and unable to prevent it to score points.
The Thunder introduced Perkins to deal with the twin towers of the Lakers, but in fact, the Lakers are no longer their biggest opponents on the road to the championship. It's a pity that Presti didn't realize this, and Brooks still regarded the Lakers as a beast! Perkins has increased strength and reduced flexibility to deal with Bynum. And the big contract he has renewed will inevitably become a huge burden to small market teams in the future.
At the end of halftime, the Nets' lead was reduced to 4 points, and the Thunder still had a slight upper hand in the bayonet battle!
