"Pay attention to speed up the attack in the second half, Russell, don't be dragged down by the Jazz!"

After Brooks came in, he explained his tactics, then glanced at the silent players, and went out without saying anything.

The atmosphere was bad, and Li Muhua felt that the powder keg was about to explode.

"Russell, you go first, I'm looking at the lineup of the Jazz, and I always feel a little confused!"

At this time, Li Muhua stood up and said something special.

Westbrook nodded, no expression on his face.

Under normal circumstances, except for temporary arrangements by the coach, Westbrook and Li Muhua share playing time. Fortunately, the relationship between the two is very good, and Li Muhua's physical strength is limited, so the playing time is generally relatively fixed, maintained at about 15-20 minutes, mainly Westbrook. Mainly.

Every team is equipped with three people in different positions, and the same is true for other positions of the Thunder team, except for the number one position, which has only two people.

Playing more and playing less is not that important to Westbrook, not to mention that Westbrook's goal is to fight for the team leader, and he has a good relationship with Li Muhua, so he doesn't care about such trivial matters at all.

Before the start of the second half of the game, Li Muhua reminded again in a low voice:

"Russell, the team is important, don't show your temper, remember to pass more passes to Kevin!"

Westbrook didn't speak, but went straight to the court.

The boss of the team should not only have high skills, take care of the players, but also lead the team to victory. Durant has a somewhat withdrawn personality. Currently, the only person leading the Thunder to victory is Durant.

Westbrook was still a little blunt, Li Muhua shook his head, expressing his helplessness.

At the beginning of the game, the Thunder's offense was incomprehensible.

Durant has little chance as Brewer gets tangled up, and Westbrook begins to pass the ball to Durant.

As long as the ball was passed, Westbrook was watching, Green didn't move, and the Jazz's defensive formation was not disturbed in any way.

For three consecutive rounds, the Thunder failed to score. Durant was assisted by Kirilenko in singles with the ball. He hit the iron and scored three free throws with only two fouls.

"beep!"

After Durant made the first free throw, the Thunder replaced Westbrook and Li Muhua played.

Li Mu attacked with the ball and quickly passed halftime. With the help of Durant's screen, he broke through and divided into Green. Green made a two-pointer with an open shot.

The Jazz attack.

Deron began to take advantage of Kirilenko to bypass Li Muhua and hit a layup.

It seemed that the Thunder team was no different from before, but only Li Muhua knew that the Thunder team had completely picked up the rhythm.

Just now Deron inadvertently consumed only 12 seconds of attack time.

The hit rate is a very important indicator, and it is the most intuitive from this data, which can show the player's state.

Affecting the hit rate is nothing more than the number of shots and the number of goals.

Most of the Thunder's shots are mainly in the hands of the three young players, and the rest are important rotations or substitute players.

Among the powerful teams in the West, only two teams play relatively slowly, namely the Spurs and the Jazz, who mainly rely on positional battles to score goals.

Brooks is well aware of the contradictions in the locker room, and has only one request for Li Muhua, to speed up the pace.

For example, if the offense is 24 seconds in the half, the Thunder will speed up, 4 seconds after the half, and then counting the 6 seconds of attack time, it will only be about 10-12 seconds after the full play.

The fastest time of 6 seconds is only enough to transfer the ball twice, or even once, but the number of shots has increased.

Brooks kills two birds with one stone. Since it can increase the number of shots taken by the players, it can also improve the offensive efficiency. From a certain point of view, the application of this concept in this game happened to suppress the Jazz.

Next, the speed of the Jazz naturally increased, and the negative effect brought over was that the players could not be positioned deep, thus giving the Thunder more opportunities.

The game just got better and better.

In this way, in the fourth quarter, the confident Thunder team passed Durant's sudden shots, and the others blossomed and began to show their power.

The Thunder opened the score with a 14:2 climax.

Only 5 minutes into the fourth quarter, Li Muhua was off the field, and the difference between the two sides came to 12 points.

Westbrook, who played again, had more opportunities to attack, and the substitutes he led attacked frantically. Every ball was played very quickly. The Jazz, who are accustomed to positional warfare, could not adapt to this rhythm at all.

At the end of the game, the Thunder beat the Jazz 102:91.

Durant scored 25 points, 31 rebounds and 10 blocks in 2 shots.

Another game with 30+ points.

The team's five-game winning streak, coach Brooks clenched his fists.

Post-match interview.

"The change in style of play, yes, the Jazz is a team with a deep historical background, and the defensive toughness is very strong. The Thunder are very poor defensively. Of course, you know this without mentioning it. This season, many people said that our defense is a joke!"

Having said that, Brooks deliberately paused, disgusted the media, and then continued:
"We really didn't do well on the defensive end, so the only thing we can do is to increase the pace of the game, which happens to be the strength of the Thunder!"

Generally speaking, Brooks is very satisfied with the result of this game, especially the team's top management. As long as there is a winning streak, it proves that the team's state is very stable.

Green and Westbrook were dissatisfied, and the number of shots between the two remained at 10-15.

In the Thunder team, Green is always the most low-key one. When he returned to the locker room and said nothing, he changed his clothes and put on his headphones. Westbrook threw his jersey on the bench and kicked open the door of the bathroom.

The action was so big that the players were taken aback.

This kind of scene is usually after the players vent their temper after a loss, but the Thunder won this time.

"Okay, everyone, don't look at it, wash it quickly, we have to catch a plane in a while!"

Li Muhua patted this one, coaxed that one, and escorted a few players with good relationship to the bathroom to ease the atmosphere.

"Is this .LI really all right?"

Harden was not a fool, he had already seen something was wrong, and after washing, he quietly sat beside him and asked.

Why is there you everywhere, this child can't save himself, Li Muhua was speechless.

"James, it's not the first day you've been in the league. Which team doesn't have this shit, what a fuss!"

Li Muhua explained impatiently.

Harden nodded and muttered, in the future I must go to a team where I can shoot whatever I want.

The next day, the Thunder came to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Since Jennings' 55-point rookie record shocked the world, the Milwaukee Bucks once again returned to people's attention, as if the Bucks were no longer the reindeer that was slaughtered.
