Chapter 877 The game between master and apprentice ([-])
When the coaches of both sides of a game come from the same school, or once had a master-student relationship, the game becomes very interesting.

Because in that situation, the coaches of both sides know each other well, such as the formation of troops, what kind of defensive strategy they like to use, and the fixed tactics and routines on the offensive end have been thoroughly grasped.

So often in such games, the players are the most difficult to handle.

Because they are always ready to change tactics.

This is the case with the Thunder and Clippers today.

"I know more about these Thunder players than you, so I know their strengths better. Your way of doing this can't prevent us~!!"

Listening to Brooks' tone, he has great confidence in the team.

"The defensive strategy has been successful, the next step is to attack~!!"

Here, Lan Shengli still focused on the field.

Brooks and Lan Shengli, who used to be regarded as a "teacher-student" duel, already knew each other's routines from the very beginning.

It's like playing chess, knowing which move you're going to take next depends on how you see the moves.

Here Hill dribbles to the frontcourt.This time Hill gave the ball to Harden.

It was Sefoloza who defended Harden.

"Sefoloza is the Thunder's defensive leader. It seems that Brooks attaches great importance to Harden's defense~"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli sighed immediately.

"But it doesn't matter, Harden is just a starting point of offense, not the one who ends~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

I saw Harden and Jordan starting a pick-and-roll tactic here, and Jordan immediately made a pass so that Sefoloza had to switch defenses.

So all of a sudden, Harden's defender has become Krstic.

"The starting five players on the Thunder team, except for Krstic, are all very aggressive players on the defensive end, and Harden, a player who relies on rhythm and skill to attack, is most afraid of encountering such a player. Players, so switching defenses is the best choice~!!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself, as if everything was under control.

But the Thunder also responded.

Kostic turned his body sideways, not giving Harden his left hand, but letting him take his right hand.

"Okay, I knew you would use the switch, and you've used it too many times. It looks good, but that's because you haven't encountered a targeted defense. Just let the lefty Harden go The right hand will weaken his ability, and Green and Durant on the side are waiting for the opportunity, ready to double-team at any time, whether you are shooting or passing, it is impossible to succeed~!!"

Brooks thought.

It seems that Brooks has laid a net for Harden.

Here Harden is already dribbling with his right hand and breaking through.

Kostic just pretended to defend, but didn't really stick to the defense.

Harden went straight to the inside.

Jordan's side restrained Sefoloza, making it impossible for the latter to defend.

Seeing this, Harden directly made a layup.

"Crack!!"

Harden's ball was blocked out of the baseline by Durant, who was chasing after him.

Obviously, Harden underestimated the Thunder's defensive flexibility.

Durant's long arms allow him to cover the opponent without jumping too high.

The Clippers played a bit jerky on the offensive end, mainly due to Lan Shengli's offensive tactics, which Brooks has figured out, so the efficiency of the defensive end has also followed.

"This is not so easy to play~!! Except for Jordan, there is an obvious height gap in every position, but Jordan doesn't have any offensive ability, so we have to think of something~"

Lan Shengli began to rub his chin, thinking.

"Swipe~!!"

This side can be regarded as not bright in the east and bright in the west. After Hill sent the baseline ball, Johnson near the bottom corner received the ball. Facing Durant, who took two steps back to defend, he directly made a resolute three-pointer.

The ball went hollow into the net.

The Clippers finally scored.

"Could it be that open-ended tactics have been opened~?! Johnson shouldn't be the main point of attack~!"

Brooks thought.

"Alright, let's take a look at how the players feel~"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli thought to himself.

The Thunder's offense here seems to be more methodical.

It was still Durant who caught the ball with his back in the middle distance, and then Krstic and Green screened for the other two, looking for open shots.

"Has Durant become a supporting point in Brooks' offensive tactics~?! Probably not~!! After all, Durant is a super scorer with Tracy McGrady as his idol~!! How could it be possible? What about support~?! Isn’t this a waste of talent~?!”

Lan Shengli watched and thought.

"And to create shooting opportunities for Westbrook, who is not very sure of the outside line, why does it feel like it's the other way around~?! It seems like everything is wrong~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

Here, Johnson stood behind while paying attention to his surroundings from the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Durant suddenly jumped up on the spot, turned halfway in the air, faced the basket, and directly pulled out his hand, almost exactly the same as McGrady.

"I see~!!, it turns out that Durant's support is all a cover, it's all fake, it's true to attract our defensive attention, it's true to make Johnson unable to focus on defense, Mr. Brooks is really good He is scheming, he knows that our players are all young and inexperienced~!!"

Seeing this scene, Lan Shengli came to his senses.

"Swipe~!!!"

But it was too late, Durant turned around and hit a jumper, continuing the offensive firepower for the Thunder.

"Dum~!!!"

Perhaps wanting to make the players "wake up" as soon as possible, Lan Shengli immediately called a timeout.

Although the Thunder did not send out an offensive climax, the Clippers were somewhat passive on both ends of the offense and defense.

If it is the first round from the beginning to the present, then this round, Brooks won.

"Everyone pay attention~!! When Durant is supporting, it is all fake. He may pass the ball, but his ultimate goal is to divert the attention of the defense, so Johnson, don't worry about Durant's actions. What kind of action, as long as you keep an eye on Durant at every moment~!!, and on the offensive end, don’t play pick-and-roll tactics~!! We,, "

Lan Shengli hurriedly arranged it.

"The opponent should be emphasizing the defense of Durant with the ball, so the offensive end should play more screens, call DeAndre out of the inside, and then attack the inside~!!"

Here Brooks also immediately arranged.

It seems that Brooks, as a master, once again knows the time-out arrangements and intentions of his disciple Lan Shengli.

In this case, it depends on whether Lan Shengli can come up with some tactics that Brooks can't think of.
