super small forward

Chapter 614 614. The advantage is obvious
Thunder coach Billy Donovan quickly replaced Westbrook and Durant back on the court.

Westbrook took the ball and the Thunder stabilized.

Westbrook took a sharp step forward as Clarkson's defense changed direction.

Clarkson quickly retreated, and Westbrook suddenly stepped back and made a mid-range jumper.

Westbrook easily sent the ball to the Lakers' basket.

On the Lakers side, because they took the lead and did not switch to the main force, they continued to play on the bench and encountered some problems. Facing a lineup with two superstars, Clarkson on the outside seemed to be alone against Westbrook. Still only a second-year player!Clarkson, who was still a little thin, was physically bullied by Westbrook, and he directly stole it head-on!
Thunder strikes back.

Westbrook took the ball and dribbled forward quickly. McCollum chased Westbrook from behind at this time. Westbrook reached the three-point line and a rhythm stopped. McCollum stopped in fright. It was necessary to chase a three-pointer, but Westbrook stopped and started in a hurry. His explosive physical fitness allowed him to continue running at an undiminished speed, but McCollum couldn't do it anymore, and his acceleration was far worse than Westbrook. Westbrook Get rid of McCollum completely and make an easy layup.

The Lakers guard line was completely abused by Westbrook today!

Clarkson expressed his displeasure. He almost became the best rookie at any rate. Although the starting point of the draft was not high, the road was paved smoothly after his rookie year.If he only signed a one-year contract in his rookie year, there would definitely be a bunch of teams paying tens of millions in annual salary in the past summer, and it is even possible for a bolder team to throw in 2014 million a year.

Clarkson was a player under Monica. Monica was honest and told Clarkson about his worth, which caused him to swell a bit at the beginning of the season. However, after Kobe made a statement, he also Knowing that it's not time for me to swell.

But Clarkson also has a temper, and of course he would be upset if he was repeatedly ravaged by Westbrook.

However, Clarkson was soon taught to be a man, and was once again used by Westbrook with his body that had reached his peak after seven or eight years of playing, and another frontal steal...

D'Antoni on the sidelines suffocated and his face began to flush again.

Clarkson usually gives him a long face!The second-round pick almost won the best rookie, the best rookie lineup guard won the first vote, and his style of play is stable, he plays very calmly... There are many, many advantages. The most amazing thing about the Lakers last season was Clarkson. It further confirmed D'Antoni's reputation of being good at digging talents, so that many unsatisfactory players wanted to play under him, and many teams were also ready to throw an olive branch to him, but this Clarkson every time he met as a His latest version of Westbrook is anything but cool.

But still ahead, D'Antoni didn't say anything, just ready to call a timeout.

Fortunately, Clarkson returned to the defense quickly after being intercepted, which interfered with Westbrook's counterattack speed, and the Lakers returned to the defense smoothly.

Westbrook advanced to the frontcourt and forced a breakthrough.

Antetokounmpo and Clarkson came up to double-team, Westbrook split the ball to Anthony Morrow, Anthony Morrow took the ball and made a completely open mid-range shot, and the ball scored!
The Lakers called a timeout, and D'Antoni replaced Monroe first.

Antetokounmpo is very versatile, Monroe can play low and mid-range, this combination is great.

The Lakers attacked, everyone pulled away, Antetokounmpo lobbed the ball to Monroe, and Monroe took the ball against Ibaka and scored two points easily.

Needless to say, the Lakers' inside advantage is too great, but the Monroe Thunder are very difficult to deal with.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt for a pick-and-roll, and used Durant's cover to get inside.

Monroe hurriedly came out to defend. Westbrook changed direction and moved to the left. When Monroe followed and moved to the right, Westbrook continued to change direction and went to the basket from the right side of Monroe for a layup. Monroe subconsciously Pull Westbrook, okay, 2+1!

Westbrook goes to the free throw line.

Still can't defend, D'Antoni decided to replace Liu Ren, to defend against the combination of Westbrook and Durant...it is indeed impossible to defend, so what D'Antoni wants to strengthen is offense, and Liu Ren is replaced for offense.

Westbrook missed an extra penalty!Liu Ren grabbed the defensive rebound.

After Liu Ren dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he quickly broke through to the basket.

Thunder's defense was completely attracted by Liu Ren. At this time, Liu Ren threw the ball behind him.

Liu Ren passed the ball completely behind his back, and Monroe just appeared in this position behind Liu Ren.

After Monroe got the ball, he got up and made a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

Monroe's mid-range shot was steady. Since he couldn't defend, and Monroe's defense was really average, the main reason was that D'Antoni, a traditional center like him, was really useless. The time is spent, and it is still used smoothly.

Westbrook advances.

All the players of the Thunder team opened up, and Westbrook's singles attracted the defense and then passed the ball to Ibaka at the top of the arc.

Ibaka can't move inside now, so the offensive end is mainly to shoot three-pointers.

When Ibaka was about to make a shot with the ball, Liu Ren rushed over.

Ibaka was going to shoot before, but when he saw Liu Ren pounced on him, he immediately put away the idea of ​​shooting, and shot in front of Liu Ren... Let's find a cap!He chooses to cut in.

Liu Ren reacted quickly and blocked Ibaka's cut-in route, and the two collided.

Judging from his body size, it is reasonable for Liu Ren to be unable to stop Ibaka, but instead Ibaka staggered and couldn't hold the ball steadily. Liu Ren took the ball and Clarkson picked it up. to the ball.

With Liu Ren on the field, the Lakers will be different immediately. The offense can hit and the defense can stabilize.

The Lakers came back again, and Liu Ren helped Clarkson pick and roll and then ran along the three-point line towards the bottom line.

Clarkson directly lobbed the ball towards Liu Ren, and Liu Ren leaped high, taking advantage of the situation in the air and pointing the ball towards Antetokounmpo who was moving towards the basket at this time.

This pass is so beautiful, Liu Ren didn't even take the ball, and directly slapped the ball to the basket in the air, guiding Antetokounmpo to catch and dribble the ball to the basket and hit a layup.

Liu Ren felt a little bit playful!
Thunder attack.

Westbrook rushed over and immediately asked for a 45-degree screen. Westbrook took advantage of the moment when Clarkson and Antetokounmpo switched defenses and burst into the basket.

No surprise to Westbrook, Liu Ren quickly defended and stood in front of Westbrook.

Liu Ren gave Westbrook a lot of interference. Westbrook took the ball and turned around and threw the ball to Durant outside. Durant stepped back and scored a three-pointer!

All of a sudden, the two teams played evenly, and D'Antoni was not in a hurry, because the Lakers didn't even field the strongest lineup, but the Thunder didn't. With such a stalemate, the Thunder would collapse!
