NBA super point guard

For the Thunder, this is not good news.

Li Muhua had to persist for at least one and a half quarters before Westbrook could play.

Moreover, the two may have to stagger the time, and the double point guard tactic is probably useless in this game.

"Li, you go!"

Brooks had to temporarily replace Li Muhua.

Li Muhua just suppressed the rhythm, did not take singles, and distributed the ball to Durant and Green.

Who knows, Durant's touch is not good, and he only hit 10 of 1 in the first quarter.

Simply.

The Thunder have been opened up by 10 points.

Fortunately, Trail Blazers power forward Aladridge temporarily retired from injury, otherwise the Thunder's life would be even more difficult.

Durant's poor performance made it difficult for the Thunder.

Li Muhua likes to cooperate with Durant. On the one hand, Durant's touch is stable. On the other hand, Durant will choose to rush in when the team is unable to play.

In the second quarter, there were not many people on the bench who could cooperate with Li Muhua.

Harden is one, but he can barely cooperate with the pick-and-roll, but Harden can't return the pass, this guy's running is too bad.

The Thunder attacked, Li Muhua hit Andre Miller, came to the flank and disrupted the Blazers' defense.

Fernandez came to help defend, Li Muhua made a fake pass and threw the ball directly to the top of the arc.

Harden stepped back and made a jumper after receiving the ball, but Fernandez did not interfere in place.

Three point hit.

From this point on, Li Muhua and Harden began to cooperate with passing and cutting in a small area, but they caught the Trail Blazers by surprise.

Harden made 2 of 2 and scored 5 points. Li Muhua scored 7 points and 4 assists, revitalizing the team.

After the official timeout, Durant appeared.

With Durant's height and arm length, Brandon Roy is also very uncomfortable to play. If the core players can't perform as they should, it can only depend on the performance of role players.

Another pick and roll, Li Muhua misplaced to defend Roy.

Roy's offensive ability is very strong. Whether it is shooting or breaking through, he is a relatively incomprehensible player. Roy is called the Yellow Mamba in the league. It can be seen that Roy's All-Star level.

It can also be said to be a phenomenal player.

This title is rare. There are only a few top players in the league at the dominant level, and the phenomenal level is already considered a very high hat.

Roy tricked Li Muhua with a gesture of praying to Buddha, and rushed into the basket, causing Collison to foul.

Li Muhua shook his head and extended his hand to apologize.

The defensive intensity on both sides is very high, and the shooting percentage is very low. Li Muhua made 7 of 4 shots, which is considered a good performance.

This is still under the defense of Fernandez, which is relatively average.

On the contrary, Li Muhua and Durant, in order to limit Brandon Roy, adopted double-teaming, which greatly reduced Roy's shooting space.

At the end of the third quarter, Westbrook was replaced again.

Westbrook once again fell into a foul crisis and has committed five.

In this high-intensity defensive game, the Thunder team has been in a passive state. Li Muhua frowned. Today, the Trail Blazers are very clear.

The Thunder's two main point guards, if they want to fight one, Li Muhua's poor stamina probably won't last long.

I have to say that this strategy is a conspiracy, but there is no way around it. It depends on how the Thunder can make up for this defect.

"LI, hit Blake this point!"

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Kalamanda gave a reminder.

Steve Blake's style of play is low-key, with almost no bounce. He is also commonly known as a floor player. He has a good three-point shooting percentage, but he has not seen Blake jumping past anyone, which shows that his strength and speed are insufficient.

Li Muhua wondered, what's the use of beating such a useless piece of wood.

However, Li Muhua still followed the coach's instructions and directly rammed into Blake.

The Trail Blazers are a little confused. Glass teammate Oden is still on the court. It doesn't seem to make sense to play a small forward instead of a center. When it comes to shooting three-pointers, Roy and Fernandez can do it.

Anyway, the Trail Blazers couldn't figure it out.

According to the design of both sides, after a while, Westbrook left the field with six fouls, and Blake left with six fouls.

Blake was off, Outlaw was on, Li Muhua understood now.

Outlaw has more shots than Blake, and Kalamanda's move is to let Outlaw occupy Roy's shot.

I can't tell whether this choice is good or not, it can only depend on luck, and bless Outlaw with a low shooting rate.

The game continues.

Li Muhua made great passes and Durant made frequent cuts.

However, the next game became more and more difficult, and the Trail Blazers actually used double-teams to defend Durant.

Durant, who already had a bad hand, saw his shooting percentage drop directly.

The Thunder had no chance of turning around. In the last minute, both sides replaced the substitutes.

The Trail Blazers won hard at home.

In this battle, Durant made 21 of 3 shots and only scored 16 points and 5 rebounds.

Westbrook scored the highest score of the game with 23 points and made 12 of 8 shots, but there were 9 turnovers and 6 fouls. The statistics are hard to see directly.

After the game, Brooks was interviewed:
"Yes, our performance in this game was very poor, especially the core players. Their performance is really unimaginable. However, LI's performance is still stable and getting better and better. I believe he will definitely become All-star player!"

In this game, Li Muhua made 6 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points and 12 assists, more assists than points.

The next day, the Oklahoman reported:
"Will LI be the Thunder's No.4 dragon slayer?"

"As we all know, in the preseason last year, the Thunder signed an undrafted pick, but after only playing a few games, we saw the difference in him. Then, for some reason, he was hidden by the former head coach, and then Scott After the coach came on stage, LI gradually became the sixth man of the team from a substitute position."

"If this kind of data and performance still can't allow LI to increase his shot rights, we really don't know what's going on with the Thunder!"

The local media in Oklahoma City did not hesitate to praise, but many of them scolded the management and the uniform team.

Because, Li Muhua has too few shots.

From last season to this season, Li Muhua averaged only 4 shots per game. No one had paid attention to this matter before, but when the media exposed it, Oklahoma City was full of accusations, and the issue of shooting rights was rampant.

The Thunder's management couldn't sit still.

In fact, it has little to do with the uniform group. A team has different shooting power and emphasis. Take the three minors as an example. Durant averaged 20-25 shots per game, Green averaged 15 shots per game, and Westbrook averaged 15-[-] shots per game. [-] times.

三少加起来总共50次，剩下的主力中锋瑟弗洛萨3-5次，科斯蒂奇3-5次。

哈登7-10次，李慕华5-7次，托马斯3次，科里森只有可怜的1-2次。

The average shot is 70-80 times in a game. After such a score, no one actually has much shot rights.
