One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 282: : The game beyond the 3-point line

Wonderful one-handed changes, perfect overtaking, speeding breakthrough, plus the final complex but smooth pass and Nowitzki's two-handed buckle.

The game lasted less than five minutes, and there was a shot that was likely to be selected for the top ten in the Western Conference Finals. The young and vigorous Thunder played very frustrated, while the older Mavericks played fiercely.

Seeing that the Mavericks were about to rise, the Thunder marshal Brooks hurriedly interrupted the game. The young Thunder are not like the defending champion Lakers. These little guys don't know how to solve problems on their own. Brooks must play a very good guiding role in it.

On the Mavericks side, Carlisle did not make any lineup and tactical changes. With so many rounds in a game in the NBA, the head coach usually does not arrange tactics for every timeout.

When the Green Jerseys won the championship in 2008, you could hear Doug Rivers say the most during a timeout: "Pay attention to open shots." However, pay attention to open shots. This is actually more like nonsense. Coach Mitchell once assigned the Toronto Raptors nothing more than "protect the rebounds! Hold open jumpers." So in the same way, not every time out, Carlisle would pick up the tactical board to write and draw.

Perhaps only a master like Chuck Daley has the ability to talk endlessly during timeouts, take frequent notes during the game, arrange new things for each timeout, and make regular summaries after the game. However, there are only a handful of such coaches in the NBA, even the Spurs' Vicki and the "Zen Master" Jackson who just lost to the Mavericks can't do it.

After the game restarted, Carlisle discovered that the Thunder hadn't changed much in tactics. The only change is to limit Westbrook's shots!

This time, Westbrook finally stopped being hot-headed. Perhaps Brooks was doing ideological work for the No. 0 guard during the entire timeout.

As soon as Westbrook got close to the three-point line, he obediently handed over the ball. The ball passed to Durant, and Durant turned to Sefrosa.

The Thunder's conduction ball finally became smooth, so sometimes people are thinking about a problem. Is Westbrook on the court good or bad for the Thunder?

After a period of conduction and organization, Durant finally hit a three-pointer at the left bottom corner. In this offense, Westbrook only touched the ball once, which was to dribble through half the court. But the Thunder, on the contrary, gained a firm foothold.

Then the Mavericks attacked, and Yiyang's pass gave Marion an open shot. But under the interference of Durant's "big spider", Marion's mid-range jumper was directly out of the box. This equalizer or even a chance to overtake in one fell swoop, the Thunder will naturally not let it go. Durant personally grabbed the defensive rebound, and then strode to the front court.

The absolute speed of this guy Durant is actually not particularly fast, but he takes a big step, which is equivalent to someone else's two steps. In this way, Durant is always able to advance very quickly.

Just when everyone thought Durant was going to forcibly hit the basket, Durant, who had already taken three steps into the three-second zone, suddenly used a hook to pass the ball out again.

No, Durant did not intend to pass the ball to Westbrook, but threw it into the hands of Sefrosa who followed up in the horn on the right.

Sefrosa made only 27.5 percent of his three-pointers this season and averaged only .3 three-pointers per game. In other words, this guy's three-pointer level may not be much better than Yiyang.

Therefore, when this guy was standing outside the three-point line, the Mavericks players didn't care too much, but focused on Durant and Westbrook to prevent the Swiss from passing the ball.

However, no matter how uncertain Sefrossa is, he is also an NBA-level player. An NBA-level guard is still very confident when facing such a large open position.

Seeing that he was given a big open opportunity, the Swiss did not hesitate and immediately shot. When the ball was only halfway through, Carlisle off the court shook his head. He really hopes that Westbrook will have more possession of the ball. At least, the Thunder's offense may not be so smooth.

"Swipe!" The basketball passed through the net, and there was silence in the U.S. Route Center arena. The Swiss raised his right arm happily and compared three fingers.

Brooks just controlled Westbrook's possession time, allowing the Thunder team, which was at a disadvantage, to complete the overtake!

"The Thunder's two consecutive three-pointers made them reverse the situation at once. In the last round, the Lakers were defeated by the Mavericks' powerful three-pointer. In the fourth game of the series, the Mavericks even made the three-pointer. All NBA records were tied off the line. Let’s see what the two sides will be like from beyond the three-point line today!" Kenny Smith saw the Thunder equalize the score, and the blood before the game was back. Up. The young Thunder did not disappoint. The high-profile Western Conference Finals are just to be beautiful!

The Thunder took the lead from outside the three-point line, and the Mavericks were naturally unwilling to show weakness. However, why do people say that you can't win by shooting alone? Because shooting is sometimes a very unstable way of scoring. The feel of a player will be affected for various reasons. Psychology, physical strength, defensive strength and other factors will affect a player's shooting percentage.

When the Thunder made two consecutive three-pointers to overtake the score, the Mavericks also began to try to find opportunities outside the three-point line. Today, however, none of the Mavericks made a single three-pointer in the first quarter. Even if Carlisle replaced Barea and Peja with two three-pointers at the end of the first quarter, it was of no avail.

Contrary to the Mavericks, who suddenly lost their game feel, the young Thunder team's favorite game is to play downwind. Young people, the smoother the game, the more excited they are. The more excited, the better the game.

In the last 5 seconds of the first quarter, when James Harden, who came off the bench, broke through Stevenson and broke into the interior with a one-handed dunk and ended the first two minutes of the battle, the score on the court became 27-20. The leading party is the Oklahoma City Thunder! ..

"I did not expect this result before. At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks still had the advantage. Who would have expected that the Thunder changed the game with a three-pointer. You know, the Mavericks won in the last round of the game. On a three-pointer. Are they going to lose in what they do best today?"

With 0 in the three-pointer, this dazzling data was recorded on the big screen at the moment. Carlisle looked up at the big screen, then looked down at the bench. All the players were panting and silent.

"The second quarter of the game, continue to vote!"

When Carlisle said this, the players raised their heads in surprise.

"We... don't try to go inside?" Nowitzki questioned cautiously.

"Don't rush to play inside. If we can't shoot the three-pointer, they will definitely defend the inside line very tightly. At that time, our offensive efficiency in the inside line may not be too high. So the second quarter game 1 At the beginning, let’s shoot from beyond the three-point line. Forget the **** 0 in and let go of the burden. Don’t forget how we defeated the defending champion!" Carlisle waved his fist, and his words were undoubtedly given. The players have huge confidence.

Carlisle knows very well that the three-pointer percentage must be fed by the number of shots. As long as Terry waits for the shooter to find the touch, the score will come back very quickly. At that time, whether to play inside or outside, the Mavericks have taken the initiative.

"However, I must remind you that the defensive end must be tough. If you have a pick-and-roll, you can change defense, and you can't give the Thunder any easy shot. Before our three-pointer opens, I don't want the Thunder to widen the point difference!"

Carlisle finished speaking and looked at Yiyang. In the second quarter of the game, Westbrook, who was excited about the tailwind, is likely to attack the basket again. And the most critical point to stop that number 0 is undoubtedly Yiyang!

Yiyang understood Carlisle's meaning, and he nodded gently in response. At the same time, the electronic buzzer sounded at the scene, and the short inter-junction was over.

Nowitzki clapped his hands, and it seems that the Germans' fighting spirit today has not been extinguished. "Come on, come on, it's only 7 points behind! When we are 5 points behind the defending champion, didn't we also complete the reversal!?"

When the Mavericks players appeared on the court one by one, Barkley felt a little surprised.

"This group of guys, don't you know that they are the lagging party?"

At the beginning of the second quarter, the fighting reignited. Since Chandler won the first strike for the Mavericks in the first quarter, the Thunder became the first team in the second quarter.

Westbrook is still fast in possession of the ball. He attacked from the center of the court. When he was about to make physical contact with Yiyang, he passed the ball to Sefrosa, who was standing on his left.

After passing the ball, Westbrook did not stop his footsteps. He immediately ran to the left, and when he passed behind Sefrosa, the Swiss passed the ball back to Westbrook.

Then, most of the Swiss and Thunder players moved to the right to make room. This guy Westbrook is going to play singles!

Yiyang lowered his center of gravity and tried hard to open his arms to increase his defensive area. Where is Westbrook? Of course he was not to be outdone. This guy changed his hips continuously and quickly, trying to confuse Yiyang's center of gravity.

suddenly! Westbrook kicked the ground and rushed towards Yiyang! Just as he was about to overtake, Westbrook paused, disrupting Yiyang's pace of retreat. One changed his hand behind his back and went to the left of Yiyang.

Yiyang was confused by Westbrook's fake action and hesitated for half a second. However, this half a second is enough for Westbrook to find shooting space.

After breaking through Yiyang, Westbrook did not go further, because Chandler was already staring at him under the basket. Rather than rushing to the basket and facing the "Boxing King", it's easier to stop the jumper now.

So Westbrook jumped hard. This guy always jumps very high when he shoots, and his body jumps straight. Westbrook felt very good about the ball. Just as he was about to take a shot, Yiyang's face suddenly jumped out from below.

"What!?" Westbrook was convinced that he had just thrown away Yiyang. When did this guy make it up! ? What a monster!

There is no way, the matter is over, Westbrook has no choice but to take action. But Yiyang still caused a lot of trouble for Westbrook by relying on his own wingspan advantage.

In the end, Westbrook threw the ball against Yiyang's defense. Although Yiyang failed to cover the ball directly, his fingertips touched the basketball and changed the trajectory of the basketball.

The basketball eventually went into the air and completely deviated from the basket. Chandler strode two steps up and jumped up high with the inertia of the approach, just to catch the basketball that was starting to fall.

"Also, although he was cheated by Westbrook for the first time, he still completed the shot with a strong willpower!"

Accompanied by the exclamation of the commentators, Cardinal waved the towel in his hand excitedly and applauded again and again. Carlisle smiled, "Administrator" this guy, really brought him a surprise.

After completing the block, Yiyang and Terry's two guards moved forward quickly. Yiyang just ran beyond the three-point line and hit the ball to Terry with a back pass.

At this time, Harden, who defended Terry, was still chasing behind. Terry also got a chance to catch up and shoot a three-pointer.

Brooks regrets a bit at this time if he leaves Sefrosa on the court instead of replacing Harden. Maybe Terry won't get a chance.

After receiving a basketball emergency stop, Terry shot directly outside the three-point line. Yiyang and he can be said to have thoroughly implemented Carlisle's request and continued to throw three-pointers!

However, the moment the basketball was shot, Terry felt broken. He didn't adjust his actions, and the basketball was not shot as he thought.

"Boom!" The ball hit the front of the basket hard and knocked out! The Mavericks missed a three-pointer again, and the fans covered their faces in disappointment.

Ibaka, who was chasing back, leaped high, reaching out to get the rebound. But a guy wearing a white Mavericks jersey was suddenly separated between Ibaka and basketball. The man turned his back to Ibaka, and Ibaka only saw the number on the jersey.

"Also, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, his jumping height is really amazing! He rushed to Ibaka before grabbing an offensive rebound!"

Ibaka opened his mouth wide in the air. That guy, his head is flat!

Catching the basketball in the air, Yiyang's body also began to fall. But the Thunder's defense is still a mess. After all, at the moment when Terry missed a shot, they thought it was time for them to attack.

Before his feet hit the ground, Yiyang passed the ball directly to Terry in the air, and then shot!

Same position, same unmarked, pass from the same person. Terry got a chance to redeem, this time, he can't waste the opportunity anymore!

The "Jet" relaxed his whole body and gently sent the basketball out.

Before the basketball hit the net, Terry had already made three fingers. This time, it must be no problem!

"brush!"

The Nets rolled up, and at the same time, there was the blue "ocean" in the stands...
