Chapter 379 Victory Belongs to Stevens

The Thunder's defensive system has never been sound. It was like this last season. This season, there is still no change. They still rely on talent on the defensive end. The stronger Kevin Durant and the better defensive awareness of Serge Ji Ibaka, but facing this Clippers has no effect.

It worked until Russell Westbrook changed his approach once again and started running around every pick-and-roll that came his way.

Chris Paul just smiled slightly and didn't care. He would quickly transfer the ball to Anson after he had no chance. In the current Clippers, the player with more balls is Anson. Facing Kevin Durant's strict defense and a little provocative eyes at this time, An Sheng smiled slightly, quickly moved the ball, and then quickly accelerated his speed and started running.

This is completely different from what Kevin Durant expected, and Serge Ibaka's position created an emptiness inside. Anson's running position was just a cover, and Anthony Davis on the inside made an easy hit.

34:26, leading by 8 points in a single quarter, if Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were not equally prepared and played well on the offensive end, the current point difference is far more than 8 points So simple.

After the timeout in the first quarter, the Thunder still couldn't find a solution to the Clippers' offense, and their good offensive rhythm in the first quarter couldn't maintain a game.After all, Anson and Chris Paul opposite them are not vegetarians. When their offensive pressure is not high, they put all their abilities on defense.

Russell Westbrook's breakthrough was blocked by Anson this time. He chose a very good position, that is, in the paint area. Anson's big hat blocked the sky, and the Clippers counterattacked. In the Thunder's half, An Sheng's breakthrough was blocked by several people one after another, but he still found a chance to pass the ball.

Goal, Ray Allen in the corner, Ray Allen's effect in Brad Stevens' system couldn't have been better, his [-]s and runs felt like he Just like his innate instinct, in this system, he is also able to display his greatest characteristics like a duck to water.

With a three-pointer, Ray Allen had a very happy smile on his face. This is the game he wants, and he will play a more important role in this team.Last season, he averaged 14.2 points per game with the Celtics.And the two shooting percentages are also above 45%. No matter for any team, this is a very beautiful statistic and a very important player.

In this season, his scoring has declined, averaging only 12.2 points per game, but that is based on the fact that his playing time has dropped from an average of 33 minutes per game to only 21 minutes per game. Five players averaging double figures per game, and the other four are all starters. There is no doubt that he plays the role of the sixth man in this Clippers team.

With the Clippers blooming more points, relying solely on the firepower of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant is nothing more than to compete with this Clippers, let alone this Clippers Chris Paul and Anson are also full of firepower.

The fans of the Thunder did not give up cheering for their team just because their team started to fall behind. Just like what was said at the beginning, the fans of Oklahoma City were hailed as the best fans last season. A little bit of nature has their reasons.

After Ansheng made a jump shot, the point difference was opened to 15 points. However, at this time, the cheering and cheering at the Thunder's home court became louder and louder. This may not be too big for Kevin Durant Incentives, but Russell Westbrook is different. He is a player whose state fluctuates a lot, and he is the one who is talking about him every time.

He was able to score 5 or 6 three-pointers from the outside in the previous game, and scored 40+ in the game. He was also able to suddenly slump in the second game a few days later, losing all his touch, and could only Relying on breaking through and making fouls to barely maintain his own life.

And now, inspired by the Thunder fans, he threw two unreasonable three-pointers in a row. Chris Paul's defense has almost put his hand in Russell Westbrook's face. .But it didn't work.Two consecutive three-pointers made the score instantly reach 9 points.

After the Thunder fans saw the hope, their cheering and cheering immediately became more vigorous, but this was just a little hope given to them by the Clippers. A convulsive Russell Westbrook was not enough to fight against The entire team is in hot form today.

Anson, Ray Allen, and Chris Paul all had their own scoring performances today, and now Jason Richardson can't help himself. Compared with the previous few more shots, today's The late Jason Richardson began to reproduce his slam dunk king's physical fitness.

When Anson's running position pulled Serge Ibaka inside, the latter's running position also reached the basket. After Chris Paul bypassed the pick-and-roll, he did not choose to give the ball to Anthony who helped him pick-and-roll Davis, instead slamming a pass-look defense through the basket, Jason Richardson's dunk went straight to Kendrick Perkins before he had time to turn his fat body around At that time, he suffered the humiliation of the crotch.

拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克最终成为这一场比赛的得分王，41分8助攻6篮板，而凯文·杜兰特的发挥同样不俗，面对安生的防守19投10中砍下了28分9篮板4助攻，就连一直被认为亏大了的凯文·马丁都拿下了17分。

可是这远远不够，快船今晚进攻端直接爆炸，安生18投11中拿下25分，克里斯·保罗17投10中拿下22分，雷·阿伦11投7中，三分6投5中拿下20分，安东尼·戴维斯16投10中同样拿下23分，4人20+，还有一个拿下14分的贾森·理查德森，全场128：109的大比分胜利也让雷霆队感到深深的绝望。

This is not the victory of any player in the Clippers, this is the victory of Brad Stevens. If you only rely on talent to compete, there is no doubt that this may still be a bitter battle like last year, but today is fast. The credit for the smooth running of the boat and the multiple blooms undoubtedly belongs to Brad Stevens.
