start with scouting

Chapter 539
Mike Brown can understand Su Yang's explanation, but he still thinks it's too risky, and he should seek stability at such a moment.

The game started in a blink of an eye, and the king won the jump ball.

The bullhorn formation starts with a hand-to-hand + RAM cooperation. Curry first rushes to the left and then to the right. With the help of Green and Cousins ​​in succession, he successfully displaces Adams. , do not give a shot.

The strength of the basketball shifted accordingly. Antetokounmpo received the ball from the left wing and hit it. Unfortunately, he was locked by Durant before taking two steps. The three intercepted and had to throw the ball to the right wing.

Green caught the ball and immediately turned around and threw it to the right corner. LaVine caught the ball and flew towards Robertson, hitting the net with a three-pointer.

The tactics were played fairly well, Su Yang clapped his hands, but he was also worried that the rhythm would be lost, and Thunder was clearly preparing for a big fight.

Except for Durant, all the main Thunder generals showed an expression of 'we had bad luck in the last game'.

That spirit turned into great motivation at home.

Easy side Thunder attack.

From the high position to the low position, Durant used three people to cover in a row, shifted from the bottom line, and received the ball from the right wing to the left wing. , the King grabbed a rebound and counterattacked.

Green passed the ball forward, and Curry found a cover in the short corner on the right, circled to the bottom corner on the right, caught the ball and rushed to shoot.

Basketball clangs like iron.

Obviously too fast paced.

Really unnecessary.

The Thunder grabbed a rebound and counterattacked, and continued at a super fast pace. Westbrook pretended to be looking for a cover, but in fact he rushed directly to Curry, took a big stride into the paint, and jumped high to pick the basket against Cousins' defense, sending a resounding Hitting the iron, purely crazy.

But Westbrook snatched the ball back himself, took another dry shot against Cousins' defense, and sent another loud strike.

Su Yang was dumbfounded on the spot.

The Thunder fans were very excited. A few bearded men yelled wildly, rushing, shooting, and grabbing rebounds when they hit the iron.

Go Nima's running tactics!
Go wrestling at the basket!
We Oklahoma City people are tough!
While shouting, the King counterattacked, LaVine chased and rushed to shoot, shooting like Lillard, and hitting iron like Tre Young.

The Thunder grabbed the rebound and pushed for a counterattack. Coach Brooks shouted from the sidelines to press the rhythm and ran after Westbrook.

In the opening 1 minute, the two teams shot [-] times, resulting in [-] defensive rebounds and [-] offensive rebound, which is really crazy.

Westbrook finally slowed down.

Durant took the ball to gain momentum for a long time, rushed to the free throw line with the help of a screen, stopped the ace to make a mid-range shot, and the basketball went into the net hollow.

The two teams switched offense and defense, Su Yang also got up and reminded to slow down, and Curry took the lead in running LOOP tactics after hearing the sound.

After some tossing, Robertson made a defensive foul.

Curry made two free throws.

Changing sides to attack, without coach Brooks shouting, the rhythm became faster and faster, Durant broke through for a layup, Robertson grabbed two offensive rebounds in a row, and finally scored a dunk, which completely ignited the Thunder fans in the audience, cheering wave after wave .

The Thunder offense can no longer slow down.

Coach Brooks no longer insisted.

Su Yang has no choice but to slow down.

The atmosphere has arrived.

Lei Ting dragged and beat forcibly.

The tactical running positions are basically gone, the game has become chaotic and anxious, all kinds of people turn their backs, all kinds of chasing shots, all kinds of iron strikes, all kinds of offensive rebounds, frequent whistles, the thunder can't cross the king, and the king can't beat it. Undead Thunder, quite passionate.

After the first quarter, the Kings trailed by 4 points.

The Thunder can take the lead, mainly relying on 6 front rebounds and 4 steals, but they also paid the price of 7 fouls.

During the timeout, looking at the Thunder's 6 offensive rebounds on the statistics table, assistant coach Mike Brown praised them strongly.

"Su, you are too powerful. Fortunately, we did not rely too much on the five small lineups. You are like a prophet!"

Assistant coach Di Brown smiled slyly: "He has always been so strong, I thought you had realized that a long time ago!"

Su Yang chuckled, with the Thunder's momentum, if Jason Thompson hadn't been played, Green might have suffered 2 more fouls.

The potential threat is the Thunder's defense against Curry.

In the system headed by Adams' defense, the Thunder allowed Curry to only make 3 of 1 shots in the first quarter, with 4 points and 3 assists.

If you don't adjust your strategy before the game and continue to rely on Curry, the Kings may be more than 4 points behind.

The game entered the second quarter.

The Thunder still have a short rotation strategy, and it is shorter than before. Kanter only played two points before being removed by Coach Brooks.

No way, the pace is too fast.

Kanter just couldn't keep up.

The two sides were red-eyed.

Between you and me, Curry finally got an easy three-pointer. One time, Westbrook paid too much attention to Cousins' low-post ball, and Curry slipped to the bottom corner to steal a three-pointer. Lost on the screen and lost track of Curry.

Two open three-pointers helped the Kings even out the gap.

Curry never got an open shot again, but the Kings played better because Curry attracted more defensive attention.

By the end of the halftime game, although the three-point shooting rate was nearly 20% lower than that of the Thunder, the strategy of not allowing the Thunder to easily attack the inside was a big success. The overall shooting rate was 10 percentage points higher than the Thunder, leading 58 to 54 score.

It is absolutely correct not to play the five small lineups.

Intermission interval.

Twitter and other social platforms have received a lot of praise for Su Yang's strategic arrangements. The initiative to abandon a pair of A's is really awesome. It made the Thunder beat Curry's well-designed defensive routines and let the Thunder get 11 fouls in the half. good.

Su Yang spoke in the locker room: "They will charge more aggressively in the second half. Our goal is to stabilize. Not only Cousins, Thompson, Giannis, and Green must stand up, but Curry, LaVine, and Thomas must also stand up. To be precise, all of us must stand up, block their impact, turn the series into 3-0, completely destroy the Thunder, and take away the victory!"

Then the third quarter started.

The Thunder are still rushing and reckless. Westbrook may feel that playing too reasonable is useless. Instead, he needs to suppress his own nature. Regardless of his bottom corner or the top of the arc.

Instead, Ibaka and Robertson ran tactics honestly. The former responded from a high position and broke through Green to assist Adams. fight.

The king continued to follow the rhythm passively.

The game was played in the dark.

Seeing that the third quarter was coming to an end, Westbrook forced two non-human fast breaks and one steal to help the Thunder tie.

The cheers given to Westbrook by the fans at the scene were like a tsunami.

Su Yang also applauded.

That's Westbrook, sometimes it makes people beat the table with hatred, and sometimes it makes people love it passionately.

Taking advantage of the timeout between quarters and paying attention to Curry's data, he only scored 19 points after three quarters, which is a fairly average offensive performance.

But 4 steals are enough to show Curry's defensive attitude and strength, and Curry also played with gravity, getting better and better.

The game entered the fourth quarter.

Durant and Westbrook were in poor form, forced to play consecutive games and performed poorly, and the Kings once established a 9-point lead.

But Ibaka swished two three-pointers, making the 9 lead shaky, and the game became an unwinnable situation.

But the king finally took the initiative.

Su Yang's on-the-spot command mode was fully activated, and with 1 minute left, the Kings established an 8-point lead.

The Thunder immediately launched a free throw tactic.

According to Su Yang's arrangement, it was issued to Thomas Jr. for the first time, and he made two free throws. The offense was almost wasted, and the lead was stabilized. The key man-marking becomes ridiculous.

In the end, Ibaka made a shot, the Thunder grabbed an offensive rebound, and Waiters made another three-pointer, completely losing suspense.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Thunder 120-115 and led 3-0 in the Western Conference semifinals, greatly increasing their hopes of advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, Barkley was interviewed for the first time: "I want to pay tribute to coach Su Yang, as well as Kings players and Thunder players. They played very fiercely tonight, with our style in the 80s. I am Kings fans!"

ESPN updated data. The overall shooting rate of the Kings is only 47%, and the overall shooting rate of the Thunder is only 42%. However, the two teams scored a total of 235 points. kind of.

Especially considering that Su Yang, the owner of the Kings, was once a meritorious head coach of the Thunder, and he has a bit of a Japanese Warring States flavor.

In this wave, the retainers established themselves and overthrew the old master.

Also TM dry turned several times.
