NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

And in the first game, the fourth game, and the sixth game, Durant had a performance that determined the direction of the game, which left a deep impression on the fans.

Of course, the Lakers will not underestimate the enemy. The coaching staff carefully studied the Thunder's style of play.

Basically, the Thunder team is Dewey's second young master.

In fact, Westbrook has played well in these few games, averaging 26 points, 3 rebounds, and 11 assists per game.

Triple-double data, and in terms of organization, there has been obvious improvement, and it is not always on top like before.

After watching the game video of the Thunder team, Xu Feng came to the conclusion that this year's Thunder team is not easy to play.

Because the Thunder not only has a terrifying main lineup, but also has a lot of talent on the bench.

Therefore, the coaching staff made targeted training based on the opponent's tactics.

In order not to make his teammates feel proud, Xu Feng specially showed Durant's highlights to his teammates. I have to say that Durant's personal ability is really strong. Overwhelming.

However, Durant also has shortcomings. For example, his physical strength is a problem. Sometimes he fights fiercely in the first three quarters, but he can't play in the fourth quarter.

In addition, he has few ways to face the double-team defense, which is similar to Harden.

At present, only Curry and James can face it calmly when they encounter double teams.

James' passing is at a historical level, and Curry's top passing ability is unmatched.

Compared with these two, Harden will be a notch lower.

However, Harden also has something extraordinary, that is, the lower limit of his leadership is not low, at least in the past few years when he came to the Rockets, no matter what lineup, he can bring it to the playoffs.

It's just that in the playoffs, his willpower was not good enough and he couldn't go further.

I hope that in this offseason, the Rockets can continue to strengthen and allow Harden to achieve better results.

……

At the press conference before the game, Xu Feng and Kobe were interviewed by reporters.

Since the Lakers easily advanced in the first round, the reporter is more optimistic about the Lakers.

"Mr. Xu Feng, you played well in the game between the Lakers and the Rockets. You were very relaxed and in good condition. Will you have stronger confidence in the second round?"

Xu Feng shook his head and said, "It's all the same. The first two rounds are very important to our Lakers. There is not a bad team in the playoffs."

The reporter was taken aback and asked, "Do you think the Thunder and the Rockets are the same team?"

"Yes, it's all the same to me."

Xu Feng didn't say anything rude, but he seemed to have stepped on Lei Ting, and the reporter couldn't say anything.

Because Xu Feng attaches great importance to the two teams, it was your reporters who deliberately guided them, and Xu Feng was not fooled.

Kobe snickered and glanced at Xu Feng. He felt that Xu Feng was really smart and knew how to deal with the media.

"Kobe, your current physical condition looks good, better than last season, do you think you can get FMVP?"

Just after the first round, the reporter asked the MVP question. Kobe was very upset. He asked back with a sullen face, "Is it because of my poor memory, or is there something wrong with your brain? Are we in the finals?"

reporter:"……"

Xu Feng couldn't help laughing.

Another reporter asked: "Duwey played very well in the first round, especially Durant, who played the best series and averaged 6 assists per game. Do you have a solution? ?”

Xu Feng replied: "I watched the video of the game, and Durant did play very well, but we are ready to use the toughest defense to deal with him, and then we will see his performance."

"What about Westbrook? His impact is still very strong. I'm afraid no one in the Lakers can stop him."

Kobe was a little angry, and said loudly: "Why can't it be stopped? In the four regular season games, we defeated the Thunder 4:0. Does Westbrook's impact work?"

The reporter was too scared to speak by Kobe.

……

At [-] o'clock in the evening, at the Staples Center, the Lakers played against the Thunder at home.

This is the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, the first confrontation between the two teams.

The Lakers' starting lineup has not changed, it is still Xu Feng, Kobe, McGee, Tucker and Lin Shuhao.

The Thunder's starting five are Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Adams, and Robertson.

McGee grabbed the first wave of offensive ball.

Lin Shuhao dribbled the ball past halftime, and Westbrook pressed the defense.

Shu Hao has improved a lot this season, and his dribbling is much more stable than before.

Facing Westbrook's strong interference, Shu Hao fought hard and passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe faced Robertson, feinted, jumped up and shot!

brush!
2 points scored!
Kobe is so confident, he shoots the first ball every time he starts, and he can make it in 80.00% of the games.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook dribbled the ball past halftime, and Lin Shuhao defended.

Westbrook's impact is indeed very strong. With a sharp change of direction, he passed Shu Hao and hit the penalty area.

Xu Feng was about to help defend, but Westbrook had already prepared for it, a zombie jumper!

brush!
Come in too!

This is Westbrook, his shots are more accurate at critical moments.

In the regular season, Westbrook's shooting percentage was not high, but in the playoffs, his accuracy improved a lot.

In the first round against the Clippers, he made 57% of his two-pointers and 38% of his three-pointers, which are his new highs in recent years.

2: 2 flat!
The game continued, the Lakers attacked, this time Xu Feng got the ball from the waist, and Ibaka single-handedly defended Xu Feng.

Thunder didn't double-team from the beginning, mainly because Xu Feng's ability to break double-teams is too strong now, and double-teaming is not very effective.

However, Durant and Adams are eager to try, ready to come to help defend at any time. After all, for Xu Feng, single defense is almost the same as no defense.

Facing Ibaka, Xu Feng easily rushed to the right, and Ibaka quickly blocked it.

But Xu Feng suddenly stopped the ball, glanced at the ring, and at the same time made a movement of his body to shoot.

Although Xu Feng didn't shoot as fast as Curry, he was also a sharp shooter. Of course Ibaka didn't dare to be careless, and immediately flew to pounce.

It's a pity that he was fooled. Xu Feng took advantage of the moment he jumped up, changed direction, came to the left, and left Ibaka behind.

Ibaka was miserable. He had tried his best, but he was still firmly deceived by Xu Feng.

Xu Feng rushed to the basket, Adams came to defend, Xu Feng directly made a step-back jumper.

Although Adams is tall and has long arms, Xu Feng's fadeaway jumper is too wide, and he can't touch it at all.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Lakers scored two more points!
This is Xu Feng's ability. He completely ignores defense and depends on his own touch.

The Thunder's starting tactic is still that the two minors switch gears, but this season Adams and Robertson mentioned starting, which relieved the dual minors a lot of defensive pressure.

The efficiency of the two is indeed very high.
