0096 Unknown progress

At 7 p.m., Ford Center Stadium.

The game is about to start. This is the second home game for the Thunder in the new season. The opponent is the defending champion Celtics. The fans who came to watch the game are very excited and cheers fill the stadium. They don't seem to care that the Thunder suffered four consecutive losses.

On ESPN live broadcast, Mike Brin, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson sat in turn.

"Jeff, what do you think of the outside world's criticism of Su Yang?" asked Bryn.

"That makes no sense..." Van Gundy shook his head, "The Thunder's four-game losing streak is very complicated, including the injury of two main centers, Westbrook's organizational ability is still lacking, and Jeff Green is the power forward's defensive deviation."

"He is too young and contrary to the public's perception, and the outside world is very jealous of his achievements." Mark Jackson said. "It is difficult to rebuild the team and win, especially a team like the Thunder that only rookie players can play."

"Can he win tonight? He said in an interview before the game that the Thunder would win, and he always fulfilled his promises, including turning the Trail Blazers into a strong team, beating the Spurs in the playoffs, and letting the Trail Blazers into the Western Conference Finals." Brin asked.

"Uh, it's hard..." Van Gundy showed concern.

"There is still hopeful, but it's relatively small, because the Celtics..." Jackson quickly explained why.

In the field, the long whistle sounded, and the referee reminded the two teams of starting players to prepare for entry.

Seeing this, Su Yang summoned the starting five players to form a circle and repeatedly emphasized the main offensive strategy: first play around Durant, the strongest man in the team, until the Celtics are forced to change their defensive strategies, and then change other play styles depending on the situation.

Durant and others nodded to show their understanding, and Jordan Jr. said excitedly: "Coach, I won't let you down."

Su Yang smiled and patted his shoulder, guessing that Jordan Jr. should have heard the praise from assistant coach Brooks.

The short whistle sounded immediately, and the center screen showed the starting lineup of the two teams: point guard Westbrook vs. Rondo, point guard Kyle vs. Ray Allen, Durant vs. Pierce, Green vs. Garnett, and Jordan Jr. Jorkins vs. Perkins.

With cheers all over the court, Jordan Jr. won the jump ball, and the Thunder launched the attack first.

Westbrook dribbled the ball and advanced, raised his hand to gesture at the center line, indicating that the team Delay (delay) took the start.

Seeing his movements, the other four Thunders ran quickly and stood. Green took Garnett to the right bottom corner, allowing Garnett to stay away from the attack launch area, while Jordan Jr. stayed at the top of the arc in the center, and Durant stopped at the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

In the blink of an eye, Westbrook brought the ball to the 45-degree area on the right and threw it to Jordan, who was on the top of the arc.

Jordan took the ball and moved to the left, passing Durant at 45 degrees. Kyle, who had been squatting on the left corner, raised his foot and rushed into the paint area with big strides, which seemed to leave space on the left to allow Durant to play singles.

Kyle's defense was naturally focused on Durant, but Kyle suddenly stopped, twisted his hips and ran to the free throw line, setting up a wall to block Perkins, and Jordan Jr. rushed to the unguarded basket, and Perkins' speed was not high at all.

Seeing this, Durant immediately raised his hand and threw the ball towards the basket, and Jordan Jr. jumped up at the same time.

Ray Allen wanted to change defense, but his height was too short to cause interference, and Garnett had no time to shrink.

Bang! Air-received dunk.

The Thunder scored two points first, and cheers suddenly broke out in the stadium. The fans at the scene seemed to have never seen a dunk before.

"This is a delayed position start and turned into a UCLA empty cut, but unlike the traditional UCLA empty cut, the guard is responsible for covering, not the center, which is considered to take full advantage of Perkins' slow movement, which is a great tactic."

"In the first four games, the Thunder mainly played European pick-and-roll attacks. This time they met the Celtics. They knew that the opponent was good at preventing pick-and-roll, and they were also very strong in switching to rotate. They decisively changed their tactical ideas and were able to execute efficiently, which shows that they had a solid foundation."

On the court, the Celtics attacked and the basketball was transmitted several times, Garnett played singles at Green at the low post.

Relying on his height and strength advantage, Garnett used his back to squeeze out the space and turned over and jumped into the jump shot.

With a clang, the basketball smashed the basket and hit the iron.

Jordan jumped high and grabbed the rebound, landed and turned around and handed it to Westbrook, and the thunder launched a counterattack.

Westbrook raised his hand again to delay the positioning and started, and Green led Garnett to the right bottom corner to stay away from the attack.

The moment the basketball passed to the top of the arc, Kyle bowed and started straight to the paint area.

Perhaps because of being deceived before, Ray Allen deliberately slowed down while chasing Kyle. Perkins also quickly turned his head and looked behind him, beware of Kyle's back cover again, while Pierce frequently waved his hand to interfere with Durant.

Unexpectedly, Kyle really walked through the paint area, but Jordan Jordan ran to the left to build a 45-degree wall to cover it.

The situation became 2V2, Durant took the opportunity to cross and step through the bottom line, and Perkins rushed to attack.

Seeing this, Jordan turned around and cut the basket. Durant stopped urgently and passed the ball. Perkins' height and reaction could not be stopped at all. Garnett wanted to rush over from the bottom corner to make up for defense, but was delayed by Kyle and Green.

Bang! Jordan smashed his hands hard and buckled his chest and shouted with great affection after landing.

"It seems that the Thunder are well prepared before the game, and the players clearly know the Celtics' defensive strategy."

"Durant was interviewed before the game and said that Su Yang had made very detailed arrangements and the whole team practiced very seriously."

During the offense and defense transition on the field, Rondo slowly dribbled the ball to the center line and raised his hand to gesture a tactical command.

The Celtics players immediately started running, Ray Allen and Pierce separated from each side of the bottom corner on the left, Perkins stopped in the center at the free throw line, while Garnett stopped at the top of the arc and turned slightly sideways in advance, looking as if he was ready to start.

Su Yang quickly turned his head and vaguely remembered that it was a fake RAM to double-screen tactic, with simple and convenient steps, but it was used for three combinations of Garnett Parkin Slondor, which had extremely low threat to long shots, just defend the inside.

Thinking of this, Su Yang gestured to Jordan and signaled to squat to guard the inside to prevent breakthroughs.

Snyder also gestured and reminded him, shouting at Jordan Jr. He obviously had the same idea.

While shouting, Garnett turned around and set up a wall at the free throw line to block Jordan Jr.

Perkins took the opportunity to start and rushed towards the top of the arc, and Garnett also turned around and ran to the top of the arc, forming a double cover.

Rondo immediately accelerated to get rid of Westbrook and quickly reached the free throw line, but was blocked by Jordan Jr.

Faced with obstacles, Rondo continued to cross the ball and rushed to the bottom of the rebound, leaning against Jordan Jr. to raise his right hand.

No matter how you look at that action, you will make a layup with a low hand.

Jordan immediately jumped to the ground and blocked the block, but Rondo stopped urgently and turned around, and threw the ball and threw it.

That was Rondo's signature move, and the whole process was flowing in one go, which was quite exciting.

But Jordan was young and explosive, and he jumped up for a second time and made a big hat.

Bang! Bag! Bag and the basketball flew backwards.

Green reached out and grabbed the basketball, turned around and handed it to Westbrook, and the Thunder launched a counterattack again.

Rivers stood up and shouted at the referee, emphasizing that it would interfere with the ball violation, but unfortunately the voice was completely covered up by the cheers of the fans.

Westbrook ran to the center line without raising his hand to call the tactics. Durant and his men then Delayed the position and started.

The same position is in place, but the position is different.

When Jordan Jr. received the ball at the top of the arc, Durant penetrated straight into the waist position 45 degrees from the left, and then stuck the person on his back.

Meanwhile, Kyle mentioned the left wing from the left corner and reached out to take the pass from Jordan Jr.

A triangular offensive starting style was formed, Kyle passed the ball to the left waist and turned around and ran towards the top of the arc.

This time, Durant really wants to play singles.

Pierce hurriedly pushed his knees and pulled them down, exerting pressure continuously, and the hands hiding behind him also moved frequently.

Durant had no idea of ​​confrontation, turned around and faced the situation, bowed and pulled down and swept across.

Pierce subconsciously moved his steps, trying to stop cross-step breakthroughs, but Durant threw in as soon as he pulled up.

Swish! The basketball is hollowed into the net, the Thunder leads 6-0, and fans cheers resound throughout the stadium.

Durant turned around and returned to defense, grinned at the Thunder bench, looking a little handsome.

Van Gundy exclaimed: "It seems that KD has made some unknown progress this summer, or rather, Su Yang's move to change him to be a small forward was a successful attempt. He doesn't have to run a big lap and catch the ball and jump shot."
