Chapter 1014 Offense and Defense Strategy
The Trail Blazers' defensive arrangement is not surprising, because considering Kant's poor pick-and-roll, you really can't expand and he can't take it back, so if you want to use him and use his inside attack, you must be ready to wipe his butt.
The reason why Coach Stotts used Kanter was to improve the team's talent so as to compete with the Thunder. He knew that it would be safer to arrange the lineup step by step, but they were the dogs. If they were safe, it would be impossible to win in the series.
Amino is tall and has long arms and fast movement. Westbrook is not like Lillard on the opposite side, with three points accurate in holding the ball, so even if the quality of the Duck Egg's cover is very good, he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity to make a phone call.
Westbrook transfers the ball to pickled peppers on the other side.
Pickled pepper holds the ball and faces Harckles.
Hackles is 203cm tall and graduated from St. John's University. He was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 12th pick in the first round in the 2012 draft and entered the NBA.
But before he could play a game for the 76ers, he was sent to the Magic in Howard's trade. This season, he averaged 7.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.7%. However, his three-point shooting percentage was only 27.5%, and his output was not high.
Like many American slim forwards, Hackles has a height, wingspan and athletic ability, but the embarrassing point is that as a main attacker, he lacks stable scoring ability. As a 3D, his three-point shooting percentage is low and the output is low. It seems that his shooting percentage is OK, but you should know that many of his scoring are dunks, or layups and tip-offs in the penalty area, and the real jump shot is not high.
Hackles' shooting percentage is not up to standard when two guns attract defense. Compared with Amino, who is also a striker, he is not as good as the opponent in three-point long shots and ball-holding offense. So many people predict that if the Trail Blazers make adjustments next season, he will be the most likely player to be dealt with.
Pickled pepper beat Harkless, changed direction and cut backwards, faced Kante, and threw a shot-no!
Kanter closed the board and handed it over to Lillard to push it.
The Thunder's defensive strategy is to delay the screen when the two guns are delayed. Once the opponent breaks hard, he will immediately assist in defense, while other players will rotate and fill in.
When the rotation is not in place, consciously emptiate Hackles and Amino. In short, just one sentence, never fire a double gun, and you can do whatever you want on both sides.
Wang Meng said: "The Thunder still used pincer attacks against Lillard and CJ. What do you think, Mr. Yang?"
Yang Yi said: "I think it's okay, it's called grasping the main contradiction. The attack launch and main score of the Trail Blazers are both double-guns. If you strangle the double-gun, you're choking the Trail Blazers. Lillard is different from Curry. Curry's lack of the ball is better, and the team has a dream of chasing the front line. However, the Trail Blazers are pointing at him both offense and organization. Lillard is limited by height, and his shots are easily interfered with and restricted, and he is afraid of pinch attacks. In this regard, why don't people dare to attack Xie Kai like this? Because Xie Kai's shot is too fast and too accurate, pinch attacks are equal to giving other opponents empty spaces."
Here, the Trail Blazers passed the open space, but Hackles made a three-pointer...
Westbrook got the ball and fought back with it.
The Trail Blazers' defense is quite fast, except for Kanter.
The Thunder team has a bad start. Although the opponent uses the forward line to defend against pick-and-roll, through active transmission, there are still many good opportunities to make mobile phones.
Wang Meng smiled and said, "Has the Thunder rested for too long?"
Yang Yi also said: "It is possible that they advanced 4:0 first, and the Trail Blazers played two more games than them. No matter how good the champion team is, it is not easy to maintain their form when they are not playing, so this is also the opportunity for the Trail Blazers to grab the start."
Both sides fell into an offensive circle. The Thunder failed to make a lot of shots, while the Trail Blazers were Hackles and Amino frequently hitting irons.
The two teams in the top 8 offensive teams in the regular season league actually played continuously at the beginning of the game, which made the fans on the scene a little funny.
The score on the court was 2:1, and the Thunder team, who played at home, led by 1 point, and the first quarter had already been played for 3 minutes and 05 seconds.
The first timeout in the first quarter was called by the Thunder.
Donovan was not satisfied with the team's offensive performance. The opponent's defense was obviously full of flaws, but he just couldn't make a shot! Of course, the opponent could not make a shot, but his tactics were given to him by his own tactics. In such a mid-space situation, it was normal for Hackles and Amino to make a shot!
The timeout is back and the game continues.
Westbrook dribbled over and gave it to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai held the ball and walked on the right, and distributed the ball to Duck Egg in the penalty area.
The duck egg forced Kant to eat on his back, and turned around and forced to masturbate, causing the latter to commit a foul.
Wang Meng said: "It turns out that the Thunder set up an offensive tactic for Adams after the timeout!"
Yang Yi nodded: "Pretending to make a ball for Xie Kai, everyone thought Xie Kai was going to attack, but unexpectedly the ball was in the hands of Adams in the penalty area. Kanter's defensive habits are really bad, why should he start the ball? Just let Adams hook up, he can't kill anyone!"
Duck egg walked onto the free throw line, and the first free throw was short...
Duck egg took a deep breath and hit the second penalty, but finally both free throws were not ironed!
3:1, the Thunder leads by 2 points!
On the Trail Blazers, Hackles finally seized the opportunity and made a three-pointer to overtake the score.
Westbrook dribbled over and organized the attack at the top of the arc.
Xie Kai asked for the ball on his right wing, and CJ kept going around.
Westbrook threw the ball into the air!
Xie Kai received the ball. After the opponent hit the ball, he did not defend the ball and directly distributed the ball to Patterson at the bottom corner!
Patterson made a three-pointer - there is also!
6:4, the Thunder returned a 3-pointer!
The Thunder fans in the stands cheered. The ball was passed so well and the offensive rhythm was amazing!
Yang Yi said: "Xie Kai's judgment on this ball is too fast and accurate. This kind of flash reading game is really not something that ordinary players can do."
The Trail Blazers attacked, Lillard scored a long 3 points and wanted to respond - no!
Xie Kai closed the board, took the ball over, faced the opponent's foothold but failed to stabilize, and changed direction to make a breakthrough with his right hand, cutting in with his right hand, causing Aminu, who assisted in defense, to foul.
Xie Kai walked onto the free throw line and made both free throws steadily!
There is a consensus in the league now, that is, let Xie take the free throw, which is equivalent to letting them score.
8:4, after the Thunder made consecutive blows at the beginning, they entered a period of efficient offensive period.
The Thunder fans in the stands cheered and Xie Kai was the most stable point for the team's offense. He picked it up, and the fans felt inexplicably at ease.
The Trail Blazers attacked, and Hackles got another chance, and the three-point shot missed... He never expected that he had won so many three-point shooting opportunities at the beginning of this game.
