Chapter 182 (1/2)
In the view of Hollins, the Grizzlies have completely controlled the initiative in the first quarter, and now the score has not been opened, it is because the first quarter of Westbrook that goods super level play.
That's right. Hollins thinks Westbrook is a super player. He acknowledged the physical talent of the No. 0 guard, but Westbrook was never a steady scorer. As long as the X factor is contained, thunder can not be suppressed by Durant alone!
See the second quarter of the game just opened this attack and defense, Hollins is full of confidence in the game! The Grizzlies' first playoff win in history may be today! According to this state, Hollins is confident to keep Westbrook's shooting rate below 40%!
Even for outside players, the percentage is low enough.
On the court, link and Randolph's beautiful cooperation, the difference between the two sides was widened to 6 points. The Grizzlies' forward line is so fierce that during the regular season, people may not find them so dangerous.
Westbrook also knew that he had just missed a good opportunity, so the next thunder attack, Westbrook finally gave up the right to take the shot.
This time, wishbrook broke through the goal, and was blocked by the black and white bears. Selji Ibaka easily smashed under the basket.
Westbrook's assists are like this, although he is not strong in organization, but the accuracy of passing is OK. In the other side's two inside line under the bag, can still put the ball from the crack into the hands of teammates.
Ibaka's slam dunk has revived the somewhat deserted Chesapeake energy arena, but Hollins is still sitting on the Diaoyutai with no worries.
As long as Westbrook doesn't score, as long as there's no connection between him and Durant, all thunder has done is in vain!
”James, I'll defend him!” As soon as the thunder team scored, Durant yelled at harden.
Harden nodded in silence and ran up to Tony Allen in dismay. Durant was a little disappointed with that defense. Harden was always on the defensive, even in the playoffs.
If link knew what Durant was thinking, he would remind him very kindly, ”don't worry, it will be the same in the harden finals.”
Durant doesn't like to talk on the court, which is his impression in the thunder period. But link knows very well that Durant is a dark guy. Durant may be the only one who can do such a thing as opening a trumpet to meet netizens and former teammates.
”You don't like Russell, do you? He's too impulsive. ” Link looked at Durant with a serious face and wanted to tease him.
”What do you say?”
”You're not happy with James Harden's defense, but you don't want to say it to your face. It doesn't matter. I'll help you make the whole world aware of this problem. ”
Link said that, suddenly ran to the top of the three-point line outside the arc, received Conley's pass. After receiving the ball, link didn't hesitate for a second and smashed the ball to the ground!
Durant looked back. It was a pass! And the person who catches the ball is Tony Allen who cuts. Sure enough, harden didn't catch up!
”as like as two peas in the round, Durant and harden are in the field, but now it seems that harden defense has the same effect.” Van Gundy couldn't help laughing. Tony Allen, the famous offensive idiot, could eat and drink on Haden's head. There was no one to defend.
Link went through the thunder line with a touchdown pass to help Tony Allen lay up. The Grizzlies scored again, and link opened his hand to Durant. ”Do you want to win the game? I advise you to control the ball yourself
Link knew that ordinary garbage words didn't work for Durant. But if we cut in from the side, then Durant's mentality will be affected.
Twenty seconds later, Westbrook's brain hot stop jump shot to strike iron, which undoubtedly added fuel to Durant's heart.
Now the thunder team is behind, Durant was provoked by link, this is not angry. At this time, Westbrook's brain exploded again and thought Durant was brilliant.
Westbrook was afraid to get into the interior and encounter Gasol's help defense, so he stopped the jump shot in the middle of the breakthrough. But this guy with the same number as link doesn't feel the same way.
His shooting action is so rigid that even link can't see it. Strictly speaking, Westbrook's shooting posture is still very standard, no big problem, just too rigid, straight up and down!
From the start of the take-off, Westbrook gave a feeling of over exertion. He takes off the shot has obvious stagnant air, then relies on the ultra strong finger wrist strength, hits the ball ”to go”! Because the whole process is extremely rigid and too hard, his shooting is even ridiculed as ”zombie jump shot” by fans.
Watching Westbrook waste the opportunity because of his own work alone, Durant could not say the pain.
”What did I say? You have to control the ball yourself, Kevin If link continues to fan the flames, the villain should look like a villain.
Durant still ignored link, but it is estimated that his heart has cursed Westbrook and link a thousand times.The 6-point gap is subtle, and the Grizzlies will be able to pull the difference to double digits. But if thunder works hard, the difference will soon be filled out.
It can be said that this is a turning point of the game.
Durant's defense against link is very tight this time, with one hand against link's chest and the other to block his receiving route. But link is not in a hurry. He can't do Durant by himself. But with the team system, link can beat most of the stars in the League!
This time, link reached out and asked Tony Allen to cover himself without the ball. The purpose of this cover is very clear, forcing Durant and harden to change positions!
