Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 161 Tie-break 3
In the pre-match arrangement, Scott, who suffered too much from the outside of the Timberwolves in this series, repeatedly emphasized to the players the defense of the Timberwolves from the outside. It can be said that this game is on the defense of the outside. Kurt was well prepared.

Many outsiders who pay attention to this game think that the Timberwolves will definitely make a fuss about what they are good at. After all, the Timberwolves have used countless games this season to prove their strength on the perimeter.

But after the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The offense of the Timberwolves surprised many people, and they couldn't understand what the Timberwolves were doing.

The Timberwolves still won the first attack in the opening game, and after Rubio dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian no longer referred to the high post for the pick-and-roll, but brought Jones to the weak side, and the others also stretched the space After opening, Rubio lobbed the ball to Oden who was already stuck in the position.

Oden held the ball and hit Perkins with his back, and only tentatively pressed it. Oden knew the strength of the opponent, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

boom!With a little more force in the second stroke, Perkins began to stagger under his feet.

Come again, after feeling the change in the opponent's feet, Oden received the ball and turned around quickly. At this time, Perkins just stood firm when he felt a huge force coming, and was immediately brought down by this force. on the floor.

At this time, Oden has double-killed the ball into the basket.

A collision of pure strength, a violent aesthetic of violence.

"Greg! Greg! Greg!..." Timberwolves fans in the stands stood up and cheered for Oden's dunk.

After landing, Oden roared excitedly.

The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak in an instant.

Chen Dazhuang also stood up and applauded towards the field to indicate that the goal was indeed scored very beautifully. Although it was only two points, it boosted the morale of the team.

On the other side, Scott frowned a little. He didn't know if this was just a design after the opening or a completely changed offensive tactic by the Timberwolves. It will have any impact, but if you change your offensive tactics, it is tantamount to making all your pre-match arrangements in vain.

Frowning, Scott walked back and forth there. After thinking for a while, Scott still insisted on his own judgment. The reason was very simple. It was such an important game, no one could risk changing it. What I was good at before, even the offensive tactics with the center as the core, the Timberwolves have used it before, but after all, the outside line is the most used by opponents this season.

Then soon the situation on the field made Scott have to change his mind.

The Thunder's offense, Durant's defense against Bennett also used Jones' cover, and then made a strong mid-range shot.

And looking back, it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack.

It is still Oden, just like the replica of the last ball, the other members of the Timberwolves opened up space for Oden, and then Oden singled out Perkins, and Perkins had no power to fight back. Deng was perfect in every way.

This is true both in terms of strength and movement under your feet.

And this time not only scored the ball, Perkins also sent a foul to make Oden hit a two plus one.

Seeing Oden stand on the free throw line, Da Zhuang, who was standing on the court, returned to his seat and sat down. In his opinion, there is no suspense in the rest of the game. It is nothing more than whether the final score can be achieved. Activate the hidden attribute of this golden buff.

And when the Timberwolves made their third attack, Oden was still in a singles situation inside, which made Scott more sure that the opponent had changed his tactics.

Immediately after Oden smashed the ball into the basket again, the Thunder called a timeout.

"Guys, why do you think the Timberwolves didn't attack from the outside as usual after the opening of today's game, but instead, all the players opened up space for Oden."

"Actually, this tactic currently used by the Timberwolves has been used before. I believe that the outside line of the Timberwolves will still stand out after Oden attracts the defensive attention. This is definitely beyond doubt. It is impossible for him to put himself Put the strongest weapon aside and don't use it." Zhang Lili said.

"Yes, in fact, I think this is where Chen Dazhuang's brilliance lies. In all previous games against the Thunder, he started to attack from the outside, but in the final tiebreaker he suddenly changed his tactics, which would cause trouble for the Thunder. Small troubles, like the timeout called by the Thunder just now, are obviously because of this."

"Dayao, you are also a center forward. From your point of view, how is Oden's performance? What measures will the Thunder take to target Oden next?"

"Actually, Oden's strength is very strong. Otherwise, he would not be the No. [-] pick. This is for sure, but it is only because of the impact of his health. In fact, I think it would be better if the Thunder didn't target him. It will be very troublesome if it is boarded, and there will definitely be a lot of opportunities on the outside line, if this is opened by the outside line of the Timberwolves, then the Thunder will be in big trouble."

The thing is just like what Yao Ming said, after the three rounds, Oden's role in the next game is to attract firepower inside, while Middleton and Bennett on the outside will take turns to show off.

As a result, there were many loopholes in the Thunder's defense. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as taking one thing at the other's expense. It's not that Scott didn't give up on Oden's double-teaming, but once he didn't double-team Oden, Oden would Beginning to wreak havoc on the inside of the Thunder, Perkins only had a little more than 5 minutes in the first quarter, and he already scored two fouls. Scott was forced to replace the Thunder's backup center Adams.

At this time, Adams was not the Adams who averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds per game. At this time, Adams was still a rookie in the first grade. This season, he averaged only 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in the Thunder's regular season.

Perkins is not as good as Oden's ravages.

The Timberwolves' tactics are very simple and effective. If you don't double-team Oden, I will play Oden. But once you double-team Oden, let's not talk about whether you can defend it. Middel from the outside line Dunton and Bennett began to frequently take advantage of the space created by your double-teaming to shoot three-pointers. Coupled with Yi Jianlian's support on the weak side, the Thunder's entire defensive system was torn apart.
