In the second half, the Thunder's weakness was fully exposed in this Christmas war.

The Suns gave a vivid lesson to all teams. The easiest way to clean up the Thunder is to slow down the rhythm and play steadily in the position. After the shot, the player's defense speed is guaranteed to limit the Thunder's counterattack.

The offensive and defensive conversion speed is slowed, the Thunder Trident's offensive efficiency is reduced, and the stars frequently single in the middle distance.

The Sun is famous for fast breaks but doesn't rely on fast breaks. Guo Xu can still perfectly control the rhythm in the positional battle and switch between playing with and without ball.

Westbrook and DeRozan can only attack with the ball. The threat of running without the ball is very small, and the defender does not have to keep up, because they lack range. In positional singles, they also have a low shooting percentage under interference.

This is the lack of ability, no matter how good the coach is. Brooks' adjustment method is to forcibly speed up, let Wei Shao rush to fight.

The Thunder was forced to fight the speed of the sun that led the era of small balls. How could the victory or defeat still have suspense?

With the adjustment, D'Antoni made O'Neill and Gasol Jr. both rest on the court. The inside line was rotated by Gortat, Ibaka and Haslem. The meat shield center does not play, and the Sun's players are not as fast as any team.

The team lags behind in big scores, and Wei Shao, who is eager to chase points, starts to take more responsibilities consciously. His fans call this crazy running, domineering, and extreme show talent.

Wei Shao singled out Guo Xu in the counterattack in this section, using the height advantage to make multiple breakthroughs, stopping the jumper and sending Ibaka two big caps. He made 2 of 8 shots in a quarter, made 4 of 3 free throws, scored 7 points, 1 assists and 3 turnovers, led the Suns 28 points ahead of the Thunder in three quarters, let the game into garbage time.

Guo Xu was beaten by Wei Shao wave to guard the drinking fountains. He will not go back in the fourth quarter. This makes him want to brush the data. The only comfort is that the other starters of the sun also accompanied him to guard the drinking fountains.

Well, Wei Shaoyi increased his shots, that is, suicide attacks.

In the third quarter, Durant reduced his shots and increased the number of passes. He knew that if he had been singles, his stats could not beat the Suns. He hopes to drive his teammates to become a better core, but ordinary points are difficult to form assists, he is not good at breaking points like Guo Xu.

Durant's main strengths are height and wingspan, and he has a wide field of vision when organizing, and the pass is not easily disturbed. His most suitable partner is Curry and Thompson's outside line that can catch the ball immediately, not Wei Shao.

In Guo Xu's previous life, there was a saying that "only Wei Shao can prevent Durant", this is not an empty talk. Wei Shao not only reduces Durant's shots, reduces the Thunder's scoring efficiency, but also often converts Durant's assists into iron. Their chemical reaction is very poor, 1 + 1 is definitely less than 2.

For Wei Shao, Durant is the most suitable teammate. Because Durant is a selfless core, the requirements for the ball rights are not very high, and he can play without the ball. This is an important reason why he can get along well with Wei Shao.

If Wei Shao and Curry are now swapped, the Thunder will hit the championship this season, and the Warriors have to fight in the dressing room. A white camel mountain can't bear two Ouyang Fengs.

Of course, even if the Thunder didn't have the dimension, the coach couldn't keep Durant attacking all the time. He didn't have the physical strength to support the game. In 2018, Parallel World scored only 54 points in 11 games of his career.

In the last quarter, the two sides sent substitutes to exercise, and the marginalists of the Sun, Lin Jehao and Whiteside, all got opportunities to perform.

Xiao Linzi played very badly, Dragic was responsible for holding the ball, and Xiao Linzi came to the shooting guard and couldn't find a rhythm that he was good at.

Whiteside played well. He first screened and then cut off on the offensive end. The ball hit the rim and scored 6 points. His insider partner Gortat scored 8 points, and the two opponents had the upper hand against the Thunder bench.

"Polish Hammer" started to show its power this season, averaging 7.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 16 minutes per game, shooting 56.3% from the field. His playing time was not long, and his efficiency exploded.

Gortat's mid-range shooting percentage has reached 50%, but only rarely shots, only 1.4 per game, more than 70% of the offense is completed in the low post and the basket.

Whiteside's defense is slowly practiced, he is a stunned young man, often flying a little, always thinking of blocking opponents. He performed well on the offensive end. It was a dunk that the empty cut rushed to the ball. It was difficult for the opponent to prevent this move after being taken away by the defender.

Whiteside Derby is much stronger than when he joined the Kings. There is a super veteran like O'Neal who can teach him the game experience. He grew up watching O'Neal playing, very much listening to idols, from a **** with a low EQ to an honest younger brother.

His fate began to change, as long as he did n’t offend Guo Xu ’s stupid things, he did n’t need to accept socialist transformation.

There are many talented players in the NBA, and there are only a few superstars who really make a name for themselves, because in addition to talent, personality is also an important factor in determining fate.

Whiteside was very good in the good times. There were no complaints during the playing time. He honestly practiced the two shots of the mid-range shot and the low position after the high pick and roll.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Whiteside had reported conflicts with Jiangsu Tongxi while playing in China's NBL. According to Jiangsu media, the club has reservations about his professionalism and believes that he has not worked hard.

When he first returned to the NBA, Whiteside was again the worst-tempered guy in the Heat. He played more than three months in the NBA, ate seven technical fouls and was expelled twice. According to the NBA rules, each item corresponds to a fine. The total amount of fines he received this season reached $ 37,000.

At that time, a reporter joked that Whiteside would owe the league money this season, because he is only a basic salary, enough to pay a fine?

Now Whiteside has tempered his bad temper and turned into O'Neill's **** brother, carrying bags behind his **** every day. During training, O'Neill was happy to point him to some practical techniques.

O'Neill's low footsteps are inevitable. As long as Whiteside has practiced the technique of turning around on both sides, he will not worry about playing in the future. Although he does not have the strength of O'Neal, he is a thin and tall player, but he is very explosive, and he can't block his shot by the speed and arm span.

Guo Xu also teaches newcomers experience, tells them how to move and how to cooperate when attacking.

Whiteside listened modestly and could concentrate. Faced with two NBA historical stars, he dared not make a second. Besides, many people say that Guo Xu is the first person in NBA history.

The two sides finished the last quarter off the bench ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Sun 124 to 89 away victory over the Thunder by 35 points.

This is because the Sun has given the Thunder a face for Christmas, and he has plenty of energy in the last quarter. The veteran Hill, who played very shortly in the first three quarters, did not play. D'Antoni mainly trained young people who have no experience.

However, the Thunder's marginal people are even worse, so they can't stand it.

The Sun team scored in double figures, Guo Xu played 30 minutes, 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, got 23 points and 11 assists, without much effort to cut the double-double.

Before the game, the fans who said that the Thunder are expected to win this season have shut up, and the sun has found a way to deal with them.

There is a big gap between the 1st position of the two sides. Westbrook made 5 of 18 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, got 16 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 turnovers. He made more shots than scored.

When the Sun puts less space in the middle and long distance, he suddenly attacked inside and defended. When the role player shot, he was almost mad ...
