Chapter 278 The Last Lesson

At 5 minutes and 11 seconds, the Thunder counterattacked.

Amidst the cheers and cheers, Westbrook dribbled the ball across the center line, and Harden used Durant's screen to lift up to the top of the arc to catch the ball.

Jordan moved from the elbow to the top of the arc at the same time, and set up a wall for pick-and-roll cooperation, but Heat player Joel Anthony and Mike Miller, who had just been replaced, took the initiative to grab without hesitation, one left and one right gave Harden's strongest double-team.

In a hurry, Harden pulled the ball back, raised his hand and passed the ball back, while Jordan simultaneously withdrew the screen and cut inside and ran to the basket.

Westbrook did not pass the ball in the paint to assist Jordan, but passed it very safely to Durant in the short corner on the left.

That kind of operation directly minimizes the possibility of the Heat stealing the ball. The key is that Joel Anthony has not caught up with Jordan.

"Fill, fill!" LeBron yelled loudly while staring at Durant, wishing he could split into two to defend.

Bosh hastily moved laterally from the weak-side corner on the right to intercept, and Miller also shrank into the paint, ready to pinch the pass and block the breakthrough.

But Durant is more than 210 centimeters, has an extremely wide field of vision, and has a pair of long arms. He raises his hand and passes the ball long to the top of the arc.

Seeing that Harden received the basketball, Su Yang raised his arms in advance to cheer, thinking that Miller would defend and Harden would play casually.

While thinking about it, Harden continued to change directions and swayed, ignoring Miller's personal interference, and stopped suddenly to collect the ball and take off to make a mid-range shot.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 17 to 22.

The two teams switched offense and defense. Wade dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, raised his hand and passed the right wing to Miller who was covering the screen, trying to grab a three-pointer.

However, the Thunder did not switch defenses, and still coordinated regionally. Harden and Durant surrounded Miller together and did not give a mobile phone opportunity.

Miller hurriedly passed the ball back, and the moment Wade caught the ball, Westbrook and Harden simultaneously focused their attention on defense and did not give a chance to break through.

Wade glanced at it, showing a little unwillingness, turned around and threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, Green and Westbrook turned their defensive attention there, and the rest of the Thunder followed suit, and the team kept three defensive players One person's super oppression.

But maybe it was due to the high shooting percentage before, giving too much confidence, LeBron pulled up and shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

when!After the basketball hits the basket, it hits the iron.

Miller and Durant both took off to grab the jump point, Jordan came from behind and grabbed the rebound first, and the Thunder team started a fast break.

Westbrook dribbled the ball to the 45-degree three-point line on the left side of the frontcourt, pretending to cooperate with Durant in an early offensive pick-and-roll, but actually made a feint and passed the ball to Harden on the left wing, and Durant opened the inside cut Arriving at the left waist, he easily pushed Miller to complete the card position.

Harden hit the ground and gave the ball in, then turned and ran to the right, leaving room for Durant to operate in singles.

At the same time that Harden was running to the right, Su Yang reminded Jordan, who was in a daze, to set an off-ball screen. Although it may not be useful, but developing a good screen habit and creating defensive problems for the opponent by the way, it didn't work. No loss, it became a blood profit.

Jordan followed suit, and Harden got rid of Wade smoothly. Coincidentally, Durant was double-teamed by Miller and LeBron.

According to the conventional thinking, if Durant encounters that kind of double-teaming, he should pass it to Westbrook who is the closest, and then look at the follow-up processing.

However, Westbrook's three-point shooting rate is low, and LeBron has enough time to return to defense and is not afraid of breaking through.

I saw Durant raised his hand and threw the ball to the right 45-degree three-point line, and Harden happened to use Jordan's cover to run there.

Wade hurriedly squeezed through the screen and tried to get close, but Harden mercilessly jumped with the ball and scored a three-pointer head-on.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 20 to 22.

There were cheers everywhere in the arena, LeBron quickly dribbled the ball across the center line, the referee whistled simultaneously, and the Heat requested a timeout.

Su Yang clapped his hands and asked Jordan with a smile: "How about it, is it right to let you do off-ball screens?"

Little Qiaodan nodded like a fool, Su Yang tilted his head to signal to sit down and rest quickly, and greeted the rest of Lei Ting by the way.

The large central screen simultaneously played a video of Su Yang standing on the sidelines reminding Jordan to make an off-ball screen for Harden, and also focused on close-ups.

ESPN commentary, Mark Jackson said: "I bet, as long as Su Yang coaches in the NBA, he will be the most popular coach, we should learn from him, how to use the most appropriate way to help players get what they want. "

Van Gundy answered: "Just now he asked DeAndre to do off-ball screens, which allowed DeAndre to get a big contract. The bosses and general managers like the kind of defensive players who can provide off-ball help on the offensive end. I will feel that it is very profitable to give the contract..."

Between the speeches, the pause ends.

The game continued, the Heat's Haslem came on the field to replace Joel Anthony, but the basketball was intercepted by Durant as soon as it was sent, but Durant took the ball and made a fast break, stopped and shot, and grabbed an offensive rebound to attack the basket , hit the iron again.

Perhaps it was too embarrassing to hit the iron twice in a row. Durant forcibly grabbed another rebound, which forcefully caused Haslem to slap him in the face.

The referee whistled for a foul, and the Heat took the opportunity to replace Bosh with Juwan Howard, while Su Yang called Durant to the sidelines to persuade him.

"KD! Well done! But this game will last for a long time, we can [-]% overtake, and you will definitely have a chance to play with double eyes..." Su Yang speculated that Durant's impatience was due to his poor performance, and he wanted to find him as soon as possible. back to status.

But that impetuous style of play is of little help to the Thunder, and it is easy to deviate from the rhythm, causing the whole team to fall into a few games.

Durant put his hands on his hips and nodded a little unconvinced, making it clear that he didn't listen and was just perfunctory.

How can steal a fast break and cause a foul, and be criticized by your own head coach, what is this called?
Su Yang didn't worry about it, he knew that when the game reached the tiebreaker, the players were more or less nervous. It was fine if they didn't hit the iron twice in a row like Chalmers did. We can't ask everyone to have that kind of calm state, after all, he didn't appear on the stage fight.

In the blink of an eye, the game continued.

The Thunder kicked off from the right wing. Harden used Durant to cover and went up to the top of the arc to wait. Durant ran to Westbrook who was holding the ball, preparing to make a screen to help Westbrook get a chance to break through and attack the basket. The difference is to force LeBron to switch defenses.

In an instant, LeBron switched defenses to intercept Westbrook as expected, but Miller synchronized around the front to interfere with receiving the ball.

With that kind of operation, although Durant was in a misplaced position, it was difficult for him to catch the ball for a while, and Westbrook turned to throw the ball to the top of the arc.

"Walk around the bottom line, around the bottom line..." Seeing that Durant was blinded, Su Yang shouted and called for tactics, directly showing his cards.

Durant heard the sound and started, and LeBron turned around to catch up, but the bottom line double screen was formed early, and the delay effect was excellent.

The basketball passed to the left waist, but as soon as Rand caught it, he was double-teamed by LeBron and Haslem, making it difficult to make a shot.

"Give me! Give me!" Westbrook yelled at the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and Durant hurriedly passed the ball.

Miller hurried back to the defense, but because the Heat double-teamed Durant, Green in the right corner was completely emptied. Westbrook immediately passed the ball, and Green took the ball and jumped up, facing Ha, who was trying to fly to block the block. Slem, raising his hand is a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Thunder overtook the Heat 23 to 22. With 3 minutes and 33 seconds left in the first quarter, cheers erupted in the arena.

Su Yang stood up and applauded, vaguely feeling that the Thunder's offensive frenzy was coming, just like the previous games, it was unstoppable.

Easy side Heat counterattack, LeBron and Wade back with the help of a strong sudden screen, difficult assists Haslem layup.

Turning around, Westbrook dribbled the ball forward and assisted Green to attack the basket successfully, helping the Thunder to overtake the Heat again.

Then Wade shrank in the face of the Thunder, making an emergency stop and hit the iron, while Westbrook made a long pass to the frontcourt and assisted Harden with a one-handed dunk.

Then Miller hit the iron with a three-pointer, Harden grabbed the rebound and went down quickly, Eurostepped LeBron and made a successful throw.

After the first quarter, the Thunder led the Heat 32 to 27, and the form was very good.

But the Thunder felt that the frenzy was not over yet, and Harden continued to lead the team, making a 25-6 shock wave.

Just when Su Yang felt that the overall situation of the game was set, Wade came on the stage to replace LeBron, who was "extremely strong at the beginning, but suddenly pulled across", and then brought Eddie House, Chalmers, Bosh and Haslem, Played a wave of 14 to 0.

At the end of the half, the Thunder only led the Heat 53 to 51, mainly due to Durant's poor performance, making 9 of 0 shots in a single quarter.

Su Yang didn't criticize anything, knowing that Durant's mentality was out of balance, but instead implied that Durant was a threat as long as he stood on the court.

With such tolerance, Durant finally came to his senses and sincerely apologized to Su Yang and the entire Thunder team, promising not to be impatient.

The game entered the third quarter. Durant, who played normally, made 7 of 3 shots despite the strong defense, helping the Thunder lead by 9 points and entering the fourth quarter, but fell into an impatient rhythm and made several consecutive shots. Unable to win the game.

Fortunately, Durant defended hard enough and did not allow LeBron to perform normally. The Heat have been unable to narrow the point difference.

The game quickly reached the last two and a half minutes, the Thunder led 99 to 89, and the Heat requested a long timeout.

As usual, Su Yang picked up the tactical board and stood up, deciding to give Durant one last bit of help before he achieved greatness.
