You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 680 Outspoken (154)

6 Chapter Ninety
In the second quarter, the two sides uphold a friendly atmosphere, you have a ball, I have a ball, it's a joy.

The most beautiful person captained by the Thunder is also the most eye-catching person at the beginning of the second quarter-Thabo Sefoloza.Passing, spot-up three-pointers, inside cuts, he did a lot.

But this is not enough.Relying on his long arms and speed, he is actually a pretty good basket shooter, and his movement is also sharp, but Coach Brooks never seems to take this point to heart.

Back then in the Bulls, he served as a ball-handling assaulter, and even worked as a supporter at the waist.In fact, these jobs can be picked up, it just depends on whether Brooks can give a routine.

Sefolosha's performance allowed the Thunder to recover in the score.

Jay Wright asked Cousins ​​and Holiday to come back and take control.

This may be a wrong decision. Although Holiday is already a qualified No. [-] position, his vision and overall situation are still like a No. [-] position.

He is like Reggie Jackson on the opposite side. In his eyes, a basketball game is not a picture scroll. There is nothing to embellish, only a straight-forward style, either pick-and-roll to pass the inside, or break through the ball, or transfer the ball at the top of the arc.He doesn't have the genius playmaker's ability to take one step and foresee the next three.

Moreover, this guy Cousins ​​is not right about people.

He knew that the quality of Holiday's pass was poor, and when he saw him calling a pick-and-roll, he was out of spirit, and he went up to deal with it casually and then cut in.Holiday's ball couldn't get out, his efforts were wasted, the 76ers' offense failed, and the tactics were not successful.

Jackson wanted to push back, and suddenly Cousins ​​overturned Sefoloza who was holding the ball.

"Beep!"

The referee called a controversial foul on the Thunder's home court.

"That's a criminal!" the Thunder's home announcer screamed.

The will of the referee was not diverted by the voice of the announcer. After the foul, Cousins ​​took a tough step and walked back, scolding Holiday.

"Why don't you pass the ball?"

"I have tried before."

"When I have a chance, how can you cooperate if you don't pass the ball?"

"Your position is bad"

"How dare you say this when you see an opportunity and don't pass the ball?"

Holiday obviously entered the league a year earlier than Cousins, but he didn't have the prestige to subdue this bear at all.

The way Cousins ​​bit him made him feel what it means to be difficult, what it means for a scholar to meet a soldier, what it means to talk nonsense to people, to talk to ghosts, and when you meet an unreasonable bear, you have to listen to his nonsense.

Wright is sensitive to the changes in the situation on the court. Cousins ​​is a man who can only be held by Wei Xia.

"Wish." Wright said, "Go and save Zhu."

Wei Xia threw the towel into Hollins' hands, and said flatly: "That guy is getting more and more ignorant."

"That's why you need to 'teach him'." Hollins helped Wei Xia put the towel away like a sensible student.

Wei Xia stood on the sidelines. What he wanted to replace was not Hayward, who had only rested for 2 minutes since the first quarter, but Holiday, who had just played.

Wright needs Wesha to play point guard for a while.

Although he hasn't played point guard for a long time, with Wei Xia's skills and vision, it is not a problem to play a few minutes as a cameo.

The two sides fought back and forth, and Cousins ​​​​has stopped picking and rolling for Holiday since then. He would rather go to the outside to cover frequently than move a step toward Holiday.

This wayward approach is acceptable in the regular season, but what about the playoffs?
Wei Xia's mood is not easy at all.

How to make Cousins ​​emotionally stable is a topic that the 76ers have studied for four years. They only got one answer, which is to let Wei Xia take care of him.

At the same time, the Thunder also let Durant stand on the sidelines and prepare to play.

The second teams of the two sides have wins and losses. Overall, the 76ers are better.Because the Thunder is always single-core, Jackson's improvement is a surprise, but he is not enough to replace Westbrook's role.

In the round before Wei Xia came on the court, Jackson held the ball at the top of the arc and changed direction to break through.

Needless to say, just looking at this shot, he has the look of a superstar.

The 76ers handed over to Cousins ​​to fight hard.

It won't work if you don't give it to him. Cousins ​​was very dissatisfied with Holiday's failure to pass the ball just now. Now he wants to vent his emotions with the ball.

Weixia leaned on the billboard and watched Cousins' game as a bystander.

Because you really don't know what will happen in the next second.

He could come in with a rare inside step that makes you scream and climax, or he could make an inexplicable mistake and pass up the opportunity.

In this round, he clearly has the opportunity to take advantage of the one-on-one opportunity to crush the future media giant Kendrick Perkins, but he is addicted to his unattractive big hook.

Perkins' performance as a media person in the future is surprising, but as a player, there is nothing surprising or disappointing about him.You expect him to do well, he will never screw up.As a contemporary first-class basketball insider, he has an excellent single-handed defense ability. He successfully withstood most of Cousins' impact and allowed his hook to hit the backboard. Without any defensive rebounds, the ball flew.

Out of bounds!

Wei Xia was able to play.

Holiday had a "thank you" look on his face, and Wei Xia was very understanding and sympathetic. Except for him, no one could maintain a smooth and harmonious communication with Cousins ​​at any time.

"Boge, no matter whether the ball is passed to you or not, it is the most basic to do at least one pick-and-roll and one screen in a round." Wei Xia taught Cousins ​​​​up.

Cousins ​​seemed to regard Wei Xia as a routine head teacher: "I did it! Every round was overfulfilled! If you don't believe me, ask Shit!"

"Ah. That's it." Hayward reluctantly helped Cousins ​​play a cover.

Since the Thunder was about to attack, Wei Xia couldn't argue too much with Cousins.

Durant and Weixia appeared together.

Wei Xia will become another person as long as he walks into the court, and he goes all out to follow Durant.

Tony Allen's defense last year has proved from the side that Durant has little to do with defensive players with large areas of physical contact and strong lower body strength.

The logical chain of this offensive and defensive matchup actually lies in Durant's physical strength.

If you can't play without the ball, you can play with the ball. No one can really block Durant, that's for sure.

Only Durant with physical strength can become the god of death in the fourth quarter. What Wei Xia has to do is to force him to attack with the ball in advance, thus consuming his physical strength.

Durant was calmer than he expected. Not only was he not in a hurry to ask for the ball, but he also deliberately asked his teammates to pass the ball in.

The Thunder gave Perkins the decision to attack.

"Seriously?" Wei Xia dared to bet $10 that Cousins ​​could block Perkins' attack with one hand.

Fortunately, the bet was only in his heart. He failed to express his contempt and saw that Perkins was no match for Cousins, so he forcibly turned to face the basket.Cousins' amateur-level close defense, with his hands separated to block the passing route, ended up facing Perkins with a one-handed underarm throw that was more amateur than amateur.

Could it be that the secret to breaking amateur defense is to use more amateur moves than it?

"Shh!"

"Believe in your teammates, this is an important game philosophy." Durant smiled complacently.

Wei Xia valued him and went away, then turned around and moved Cousins ​​with a bad smile.

This guy even smiled silly and said: "That Hundan is quite lucky."

"Are you quite happy?"

"Of course, you don't know how lucky that soul is to score such a goal on my head!"

Wei Xia let Cousins ​​serve.Cousins ​​sent the ball, and Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand and returned it directly to Cousins ​​who had just entered the line: "Come back."

The benevolent Wei Xia said that sentence in an undeniable tone.

Cousins ​​has rarely dribbled the ball past half court this season.

The 76ers generally don't want to see Cousins ​​​​do this, because he will slow down the overall rhythm when he dribbles through the half court.

But now Wei Xia took the initiative to let him do this, just to let him defend the honor of the star and find Perkins to fight back.

Then, Cousins ​​came.

He went to the top of the arc and handed over the ball to Wei Xia continuously.

When the ball came to him again, he sent Perkins' defense flying with a shot fake.Then he used a series of guard moves to break into the crowd and dance freely, and he didn't think of passing the ball until the Thunder's penalty area was three-man contracted.

Pass the ball behind the head with one hand without looking at people, and return the ball to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia didn't have to do anything, just shot a three-pointer on the spot.

"Shh!"

"I can switch to the No. [-] position in the future. Anyway, we don't have a proper No. [-] position!" Cousins ​​said something that would make Holiday very sad when he returned to defense.

Wei Xia thinks this sentence is inappropriate: "Give Steve Nash some respect."

"Oh yes! Damn me! When I play number one, Steve can play my backup!"

Sometimes Wei Xia couldn't tell whether he was joking or really crazy.

The series of turbulence brought by Cousins ​​​​was cracked by Wechat's old teammate Derek Fisher.

Fisher stood at the top of the key, unnoticed, and when the Thunder created an opportunity to hand him the ball, he hit a [-]-pointer.

Although his three-pointer did not directly change the situation, it made the 76ers no longer able to ignore his existence.

And this is just the first goal of this veteran's rejuvenation.
