0224 The strongest helper is already in the enemy line
"Does it be that I want to prove that I can win a strong team?"
Su Yang recalled watching the espn report before the game. Two commentators claimed that the Trail Blazers' five-game winning streak, just like in the past few seasons, mainly to take advantage of the schedule, winning weak teams such as the Suns without Sri S, messy Bucks.
The commentator also said that when encountering a strong Thunder-level team, the Trail Blazers will be revealed and they will no longer be able to score easily.
"If this is really a fight to the death, it would probably be a bit difficult for us to fight back to back..."
The Thunder flew from Los Angeles to Portland overnight. Although the game to beat the Clippers was easy, it still consumed a lot.
While thinking, cheers rang out in the stadium.
The Trail Blazers won the jump ball, Miller dribbled the ball to the right wing of the frontcourt, and with the help of Camby's cover, he rushed straight to the right elbow area.
Considering that the cover occurred on the right wing and was quite far from the basket, Cambie lacked the ability to cut in and eat cake quickly, Chandler arranged according to Su Yang and stepped sideways to block the space, helping Westbrook delay Miller's breakthrough speed and then turn back to defend Cambie.
Westbrook took the opportunity to chase Miller, and Miller played singles with his face frame and sticked out his big butt to separate his operating space.
Facing his big butt, Westbrook had no good idea, so he could only follow him to the free throw line, and Miller leaned on him to jump and throw.
Fortunately, Westbrook's core strength is quite strong, and the air confrontation has the advantage. Miller's movements are somewhat deformed when taking action.
The basketball crashed, Durant took advantage of the chaos to grab the rebound, the Thunder team quickly went down from the third line, and the Trail Blazers quickly retreated.
Seeing that he lost his fast attack advantage, Durant stopped on the left, raised his hand and threw the ball to the right, performing a strong and weak transfer. Westbrook, who followed up, took the ball 45 degrees from the right, raised it high and passed the waist position. Ibaka just walked around the bottom line and scored a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.
Su Yang applauded and thought that after more than a year of special training, Ibaka's mid-range shot stability has begun to improve and can be used as a conventional means, so that Ibaka's way of tying space can no longer be limited to external ammunition after a high pick-and-roll.
But it is only limited to taking the ball and shooting from a long distance. If I really want Ibaka to play with the ball, it will be almost useless.
The two teams on the field changed offensively, and Miller once again used Camby's cover on the right wing to break through the elbow area.
Kambie turned around and prepared to cut inward, the pace was faster than before, and Chandler did not dare to help with the delay.
Miller got a lot of space, and Westbrook didn't think much about it, just followed Su Yang's arrangement and broke through around the cover.
Mainly, Miller made three-pointers throughout his career, with very few point guards in the same level and his shooting percentage was very low. Even if he played the highest 52-pointer in his career, he only made one shot and hit a three-pointer once, but he still played too excitedly.
After Westbrook did this, Miller didn't really make a move and threw the ball towards the 45-degree three-point line on the left.
Batum happened to go around with the help of the cover, and he did not hesitate to catch the ball, grabbed time and space, and took action in a hurry.
So decisive is probably because after Batum's comeback last season, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41%, and with free throws and mid-range shots, the overall shooting percentage was as high as 177%. The key is that McMillan clearly gave him permission to handle the offensive end independently.
Unfortunately, with a clang, a three-pointer hit the iron.
Sefrosa got the rebound, the Thunder pushed the counterattack, and Ibaka followed Su Yang's arrangement and made covers outside the three-point line in advance.
Westbrook easily shook Old Miller away with speed and rushed straight to the basket. McMillan shouted loudly to remind him to shrink.
The rest of the Trail Blazers shrank to the paint area, obviously trying to break through, and Old Miller rushed to catch up.
Westbrook could tolerate others' despising him from shooting, and stopped and jumped in the elbow area, jumped high and pressed his wrist to smash the basket.
The basketball thrust into the net, Westbrook glared at the Trail Blazers, as if saying: You better not let me go.
The two teams changed offensively, and Miller seemed to be embarrassed, and used Camby to break through on the right wing for the third time.
Chandler and Westbrook defended as usual, but never expected that Miller stopped at the free throw line and passed the ball to the left.
Batum immediately hit the ball and then passed it to the left waist position, while Ade trembled his shoulders and swung his face, turning forward and jumped.
Ibaka was not prepared at all, but instinctively jumped and reached out to interfere, and hit her arm with a click.
The referee blew a foul and gave Ade two free throws. Applause suddenly sounded in the Rose Garden.
Ibaka raised his hand to signal a mistake. Su Yang clapped and encouraged him when he saw this, because it was not a defensive mistake, but Batum had excellent support skills. He immediately found that there was a good opportunity in the waist position when he received the ball, so he chose to pass it to Ade in time. At that time, Ibaka was preparing a frame protection.
Amid the cheers of the whole audience, Ade made two free throws, helping the Trail Blazers break the scoring drought and chased to 2-4.
The two teams changed offense and defense. Durant started on the right wing. With the help of Ibaka and Chandler's continuous cover, he crossed the free throw line and reached 45 degrees on the left. He bowed and raised his hand to take over Westbrook's pass, and then cooperated with Chandler to play pick-and-roll, and broke through on the left sideline.
Perhaps because of the position on the sideline, Camby chose to switch to prevent delays and joined forces with Batum to double-team Durant.
But Durant had listened to Su Yang's suggestion before and practiced dribbling and combining passing. Although he had not reached the average level of a point guard, he still easily passed the ball to Chandler, who cut the basket with his height and wingspan advantage.
Adh hurriedly shrank from the right side to make up for defense, and Chandler did not fight, so he chose to pass the ball to Ibaka, who was temporarily undefended.
But as soon as Ibaka got the ball, Roy contracted from the top of the arc and delayed it, which was a bit bullying Sefrosa's three-point shooting percentage.
In a hurry, Ibaka was a little panicked.
The Thunder players all shouted to remind him that Sefrosa received a pass from Ibaka at the top of the arc. Adhering to Su Yang's concept of "If you have space, you must shoot". He ignored Roy, who quickly turned around and returned to defense, raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, and the basketball hit the circle and entered the net with a thud.
The two teams changed offensively, and Miller continued to break through with the help of a screen on the right wing, but passed the ball to the top of the arc in advance.
Batum took the ball and turned around and spread the left wing. Roy held the ball high with both hands, and passed it to the left waist without stopping.
The Trail Blazers made a side shift, and Ade finally took the ball to play Ibaka with the back, and turned around and took a hook.
The basketball bounced against the board and bounced into the net.
Ibaka has no good idea, and his weight and height are at a disadvantage, so Ade still uses the most difficult hook to defend against to hit the board.
The two teams changed offensively, and the Thunder repeatedly executed Ai �
Seeing that it was difficult to catch the ball, Durant ran to the sideline to pull the space, which clearly wanted Westbrook to deal with it.
Sefrosa immediately started from the right base corner, crossed the base line and went straight to the left base corner. Ibaka followed him to the short corner on the right to fill the gap after Sefrosa left, and created a threat to catch the ball and shoot, pulling the space in the middle.
Chandler turned to the top of the arc, set up a wall to block Old Miller, and also left space in the middle.
Westbrook immediately started to kick off the ground and entered the paint area like lightning. He rushed to Camby, who chose to squat the pit, and stopped and jumped to hit the board.
Camby started and closed the cover at the same time, but unfortunately he didn't expect Westbrook to be so fast that he only caught a handful of air.
The basketball bounced back into the net.
Camby picked up the basketball ball nearby, retreated outside the boundary and passed it to Roy in a hurry. The Trail Blazers team rushed to serve a fast attack.
The Thunder players hurriedly retreated, but Ade's shooting range was too long, and he received a long pass from Batum in one step within the three-point line. He raised his hand and made a mid-range shot. Ibaka's full swing did not interfere with the block. The basketball went hollow into the net with a loud bang.
Ade scored 6 points in a row, cheers broke out in the Rose Garden, and the momentum of the Trail Blazers team was greatly improved.
Assistant coach Brian turned his head and asked: "Do you want to remind them to launch a defensive strategy against Aldridge?"
Su Yang shook his head and smiled, "Don't be anxious first, the Trail Blazers will help us defend and limit Aldridge, wait and see..."
Chapter completed!
