Chapter 836: A matchup in the annals of history

Westbrook's back pass was handed over to Holiday, who quickly stepped forward and raised his hands to make a mid-range shot. The Thunder continued to erode the Nets' lead.

Offensive and defensive out of position, Dinwiddie steadily took the ball through the half court, and Holiday's several attempted steals were cleverly avoided by him. At the critical moment, he was indeed better than the Nets' previous backup point guards. Be reliable. Make good progress in the Nets and save some honors by the way. After the rookie contract expires, there is a high probability of getting a high-quality contract.

The city of New York can not only magnify your bright spots, but also make your flaws invisible. Playing in this city is a combination of risk and opportunity!

Carter received the ball at the bottom line, and Westbrook appeared beside him for the first time. Carter seemed to ignore Westbrook in front of him, and raised his hands to gently hold the ball. Westbrook opened his arms and saw Carter's passing. Passing through his armpit, Pierce, who caught the ball, turned and hit a jumper.

Westbrook easily broke through Dinwiddie's defense, and after attracting a pinch attack, he assigned the ball to Ariza. The latter shot easily, but unfortunately the ball missed.

Outside shooting is the barrier that restricts the Thunder's offense. Even during Durant's stay in the team, the Thunder considered using a quasi-All-star No. 2 like Holiday to exchange for Danny Green, Matthews. A class of superb 3D players. It's just that times have changed, and after Durant left, it is indeed Holiday that is more suitable for the current Thunder team. One more ball-holding point on the offensive end can make a big difference.

Ariza's state on the offensive end was not stable, but when he returned to the defensive end, he sent another key steal, cut off Carter's pass to Pierce, and handed it over to Westbrook for the first time to push back, as the best player in the league. For the players who made the fast break in the transitional attack, the impact of Westbrook's stride not only scored the ball, but also caused a foul, which was 2+1.

Immediately afterwards, the Thunder defended the Nets' offense three times in a row, approaching the score to 97:98. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Nets had to replace the main players on the court to start the final battle with the Thunder.

As soon as he played, Curry made a pass error. The Thunder took the opportunity to play a beautiful fast break. Holiday easily scored two points with a pick and led the team to overtake the score.

The Thunder team's fighting spirit after the overtake was completed. After Curry began to take over the Nets' offense and effectively dissected the Thunder team's defense, the Thunder team's players did not blindly defend. With the help of Westbrook and Ali. After Zach hit three-pointers in succession, with two minutes left in the game, the Thunder led 122-117 by five points.

However, in the fourth quarter, this main lineup has been used to support. Except for the center position changed from Kanter to Olynyk, and the power forward position Griffin rested for a minute and a half, the other three positions were The main players played the fourth quarter, and Curry became more and more able to feel the loss of his opponent's physical strength, which was fully reflected in his body.

The Nets attacked, and Curry immediately passed the ball near midfield. The Thunder maintained a high intensity of Curry's defense, especially at this critical moment, although the Nets had all but Green on the court. He has a good offensive ability, but blocking Curry at a critical moment and letting others attack is the result the Thunder is willing to see, even if he is still killed by force.

Without the ball in hand, the Thunder's players did not relax their vigilance against him. Holiday was closely behind him, and everyone else had to pay attention to the running Curry.

Leonard, who was on the bottom line on the right wing, suddenly started and inserted into the inside line. Ariza was only careless, but he noticed a nimble figure flashing behind him. Leonard, who was still squeezing in, suddenly changed direction and interfered. Holiday's replacement also helped Curry find a half-open three-pointer in the bottom corner. At the moment when Green's pass fell into Curry's hands, Ariza had already pounced and saw Curry. A flexible dribble adjustment made Ariza's last attempt fail. Facing the empty basket, Curry easily jumped and hit the shot.

The point difference was narrowed to only 1 point left, and the Nets' main players had an absolute advantage in physical strength, and the balance of victory and defeat was already in favor of the Nets.

Looking back, the Thunder still adopted the pick-and-roll tactics of Westbrook and Griffin. Facing the DPOY candidate Dream Chasing Green, Westbrook forced a layup, but under the interference of Dream Chasing and Porzingis, the shot was extremely reluctant. , The ball also hit the iron unexpectedly, and then, Griffin, who rose in the air, grabbed the basketball with both hands and smashed it into the basket.

This is completely physical talent. In China, fans will ridicule Griffin's short hands and use the nickname "Tyrannosaurus" to describe Griffin, while in the United States, Griffin is called "Griffin". ', which is enough to describe his terrifying bouncing and athleticism.

The point difference returned to three points, and the defensive pressure on Curry's side further increased. Fortunately, Dream Chaser Green showed the style of the brain in the frontcourt. After the ball control and Leonard completed the pick-and-roll cooperation, he was resolute. Taking advantage of his body, he pressed Ariza and rushed in, forcing Olynyk to fill up, and then lightly passed the ball to Porzingis, who was unguarded at the basket. Boshen chose the most secure dunk and continued to make the difference. down to just one point.

Dream Chasing's rapid advance after the pick-and-roll is the key to the success of this attack. Although Ariza's core strength is not weak, his tonnage is a circle smaller than Dream Chasing, and at the last moment of the game, the referee also The Thunder will not be whistled for such controversial balls, and the Thunder are indeed caught off guard.

The Thunder attacked. After the consecutive attacks failed, Westbrook once again chose to force his shot, but this time, facing Curry, Westbrook's zombie jumper hit steadily, and the Nets' dazzling offense cooperated with Westbrook. In front of him is a strong response using his physical talent, and the two-point shot is simply neat.

After finishing the score, Westbrook directly led the whole court to defend Curry. At the critical moment, it was a bit unexpected that Westbrook pushed the game to a 1v1 SOLO of star players on both sides. Curry did not choose to avoid the fight, and his skillful dribbling ensured He crossed halftime in six seconds, and Westbrook quickly made up for Curry.

Bravery and lack of skill are the characteristics of Westbrook's play, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. Taken from Curry's strong shooting threat, Westbrook is relatively close, but this distance gives Curry a more comfortable breakthrough space, and when Curry's dribbling rhythm changes, Westbrook is like a bird in shock. Withdrawing, as everyone knows, the shot from beyond the three-point line is Curry's real purpose. Taking a step back, Curry made a key three-pointer with his hand, helping the team to tie the score with 70 seconds left in the game.

This is not only a goal to tie the score, but also a goal to kill. In fact, don't look at Westbrook's few key shots, including the ones he didn't score, which were also filled by Griffin, but in these rounds, the Thunder's offense was mostly concentrated in Westbrook's hands. Curry hit a key shot, and I believe that Westbrook will have a high probability of taking the lead and launching a personal attack.

What Stevens thought of, of course Donovan also knew, after the ball came, he called a timeout immediately and arranged the team's tactics for the next round, but he didn't expect it. The Nets' defensive strategy was Very simple, prevent Curry from "single defense" Westbrook.

Everyone can see that there are layers of traps behind him, but Westbrook, who has always been unconvinced by Curry, finds an opportunity to single out Curry. This momentum forced Curry to give up a better shot, and after pressing to the free throw line, Westbrook made a good zombie jumper and hit it again!

This time, the pressure came to the Nets side, and Stevens also called a timeout to rearrange tactics.

Since coaching the Nets, Stevens has a lot of tricks in the decisive moment, and fans have full confidence in what good ideas he can come up with at this time.

Back on the court, the Nets made personnel adjustments. White shooter Harris replaced Dream Chaser Green on the court. This was a very bold adjustment, which was beyond Donovan's expectations, because Donovan There was an early foul arrangement on Dream Chasing. Now Dream Chasing has been replaced by Harris, do you try to kill him?

Porzingis handed the ball to JR Smith steadily, and more than two players rushed to Curry at the first time. The Thunder’s defensive arrangement was a bit messy, and JR Smith simply came in by mistake. , he got the ball with his back and passed Holiday in one turn. This time, the Thunder's defense was even more chaotic. Griffin filled the inside line for the first time, missing Leonard and Ariza on the outside line. Follow up to fill up, and Harris missed a clean.

When Westbrook stumbled to his knees in front of Harris, Harris had already completed his first and only 3-pointer in the game and scored a 3-pointer.

An attack that was not planned at all, but caused a quasi-lore by accident, but in any case, Stevens was replaced at the end of the team at a critical moment. This bold decision was undoubtedly successful. And once again let the Nets fans regard him as a god.

The fly in the ointment was that the Nets gave the Thunder 12 seconds, and the Thunder could complete an offense. Donovan called a timeout again~www.wuxiamtl.com~ to help the Nets find an opportunity to take down the defensive end. Harris, who may be a drag on the team, brought Green up again.

For the last offense, who else can you give if you don’t give Westbrook tactics? Donovan simply arranged the pick-and-roll arrangement after receiving the ball. This time period is not too complicated to design, and it is difficult to play.

Griffin is in charge of serving, and the Nets' man-marking tactics are very clear, that is, they do not receive the ball for Westbrook. To avoid a five-second violation, the Thunder quickly called a short timeout.

Stevens' arrangement still does not allow Westbrook to catch the ball, and Leonard needs to take care of the basket. The Thunder's server was replaced by Kanter. Griffin's impact on the basket is something that the Nets need to pay attention to.

The Nets decisively replaced Harris. The Nets have the ability to make free throws from all four points on the court. Porzingis has a lot of choices, from the start of the timing to the time Westbrook fouled Leonard. , the time consumed 4.5 seconds, that is to say, after Leonard made two free throws, the Thunder had 2.5 seconds to complete the offense, and a three-pointer could drag the game into overtime.

Westbrook may still be finishing the last episode of YY, realizing the beauty of self-redemption, but Leonard didn't fulfill him. After hitting the first ball, Leonard deliberately missed the second ball. In the end, the final time was spent in the struggle, and in the end, the Nets narrowly defeated the Thunder by 2 points and won this classic Christmas battle.

Despite the unpleasantness during the game, this Christmas battle is indeed enough to go down in the history books. The Thunder forced the Nets to go all out when the lineup was obviously at a disadvantage, and they were forced into a desperate situation. Although Westbrook was not very efficient in this game, he did show his own characteristics and exposed the Nets' defensive weaknesses. Indeed, it was a pity.
