NBA super point guard

Billups gave Li Muhua a provocative look.

The relationship between the two is good, and Li Muhua didn't care, but remembering what the coach said before, he also stared back, expressing his dissatisfaction.

This is the troublesome part of the zone defense. There are always loopholes to leave open space. If you are a pitcher, you may take advantage of these waves of offense and feel hot directly. This is also a helpless move.

Li Muhua serves and Westbrook takes the ball into the frontcourt.

Last season, Li Muhua's position in the team was mostly the sixth man with a substitute lineup. Basically, there were few opportunities to directly match up with Billups. After being adjusted to the starting lineup this season, they can only play against each other during the substitute period. There are not too many cases of direct counterpoint.

Often, if you want to match up with a star-level point guard, you must be the starting number one.

Li Muhua couldn't bear it long ago. Only by playing against high-level opponents can he increase his game experience.

For example, in the previous matchup with Rose, no matter whether he could defend it or not, at least when he was in the matchup, he had a new understanding of the explosive point guard.

The Thunder attack.

Li Muhua received a pass from Westbrook while running, Billups misplaced the defense, Green stepped forward to cover, Li Muhua quickly collected the ball and shot after a fake move.

Billups, who was blocked by the screen, could only reach out, but it was basically useless.

"Shh!"

Three point hit.

Billups' face finally became serious, and Li Muhua guessed that what the coach predicted might really happen.

"Chauncey, you have to work hard, you know, I only vote once in a while!"

When Li Muhua returned to the defense, he couldn't help but chatter with Billups.

Yes, by NBA standards, that's trash talking.

Billups twitched his face, didn't bother to answer, and concentrated on handling the ball, while Westbrook stepped forward to defend again.

Next, Billups still focuses on passing.

If Billups can concentrate on assisting, the Nuggets' offensive ability is much stronger than the singles with Carmelo Anthony as the core. It's just that the Thunder's zone defense is targeted, and the core Anthony is not there, and the pressure is evenly distributed to every player. Body, Billups is really distressed now.

Very helpless, Billups also started singles.

In this case, the Nuggets' shooting percentage is much lower than usual.

In the first quarter, Li Muhua only scored 3 points and 2 assists, basically doing pick-and-rolls or off-ball screens for Westbrook.

Billups was not much better, his efficiency seemed a little low, he shot 3 of 2, scored 5 points, got 3 assists, but had two turnovers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led by 27 points at 23:4.

Li Muhua took a rest, and Westbrook still led the team in the second quarter.

The Nuggets also made substitutions, led by JR Smith as the sixth man, and rookie Ty Lawson was replaced at the first position.

He was considered a star-level point guard in college.

Ty Lawson is only 1.80 meters tall. Unfortunately, because of his height, he was selected as the 18th in the first round of the summer draft.

After Ty Lawson entered the University of North Carolina, he became the master of the game. In the final against Michigan State University, he created the history of steals in the final and led the team to the championship of last year's NCAA tournament.

In fact, Ty Lawson's speed is very fast, and Westbrook's defense is a bit difficult, and after Kenyon Martin's screen, Ty Lawson can easily find a breakthrough space.

Under Westbrook's carelessness, Ty Lawson made a layup.

Ty Lawson disrupted the Thunder's defense and assisted JR Smith. The nerve knife started to wave again, scoring two three-pointers in a row.

Harden, who was defending against him, was stunned, and Brooks quickly called a timeout.

In this timeout, there was no targeted substitution, but a defensive strategy was adjusted. After playing again, the defensive strength increased, coupled with Durant's sudden shots, the game situation stabilized again.

This is not over yet, JR Smith and Harden don't know what happened, the two glanced at each other, they couldn't see each other, and started a mutual explosion, you make a three-pointer, and I will return you one.

For two consecutive rounds, the audience at home went crazy.

JR Smith's efficiency is very high. Although Harden's defense is terrible, but after hitting two three-pointers, he was on par with the Nuggets. show.

Offensively played hype, defensively rotten.

The two teams fell into the state of XJBD, and the game was chaotic, but the audience enjoyed it very much.

JR Smith is just the best sixth man, destined not to be the core of the team.

As soon as his brain is hot, he starts to shoot three-pointers. If he has a good character, he can definitely scare a weak chicken team. He can't defend at all. He can shoot whatever he wants. He plays very passionately. Carmelo Anthony, as the boss, doesn't care. , but used to this behavior.

Although Harden is a rookie and sometimes has brain damage, he is not impulsive. JR Smith is like a wild child who is left alone, playing as he pleases.

Throughout the second quarter of the game, the play was muddled, and Durant didn't get the ball a few times.

Even so, Brooks and Nuggets coach George Karl did not call a timeout, but watched with gusto from the sidelines.

At the end of the first half, 51:47, the Thunder led by 4 points.

When Li Muhua played in the third quarter, the Nuggets replaced Billups with JR Smith.

This is a signal of offense. The Nuggets' replacement lineup is very effective. At the beginning of the game, Billups assisted JR Smith to hit a jumper.

Li Muhua controlled the ball and the Thunder attacked.

Billups defended, Ibaka stepped forward to cover, Li Muhua quickly rushed inside, double-teamed by Nei Nei and Joey, and Durant dunked the ball, causing Joey's foul.

After Durant made the penalty, the Thunder regained control of the situation on the court.

When defending, Li Muhua and Harden switched defenses and took the initiative to let Billups find a breakthrough opportunity to form a single.

In the next 3 minutes, the Nuggets fell into a scoring drought. Whether it was Billups or JR Smith, the feeling quickly cooled down and continued to hit the iron.

The Thunder opened the score with Durant's continuous singles.

By the end of the third quarter, the Thunder's lead had expanded to 12 points, and the Nuggets were always fighting like headless chickens.

In the next game, Li Muhua did not play.

In fact, with the Thunder's intentional assists, Billups inevitably fell into singles. Often point guards are most likely to affect the rhythm of the team when they are singles. The consequence is that the offensive player's possession of the ball cannot be guaranteed.

In the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Durant, the Thunder played more and more slowly. Although the shooting percentage was not high, they maintained their lead.
