explosive dribbler

Chapter 132 The Second Spring of Pickled Peppers

After receiving Vucevic's hand-to-hand pass, An Xiaonan directly took advantage of the trend and accelerated to the inside of the three-point line.

Breaking through to the three-point line, the dribbling space suddenly narrowed a lot.An Xiaonan's vision was somewhat obstructed, so he had to dribble the ball one more step and withdraw one step before he could see the situation on the field clearly.

Little did he know that he wasted an excellent opportunity to attack.

The corners of Donovan's mouth turned up slightly.

An Xiaonan passed the ball after some organization, and Simmons missed a mid-range shot.

Thunder strikes.

In the first quarter, Westbrook really used the method of breaking through the ball to get assists for himself, and the effect was not bad?
Paul George's touch tonight is obviously great, and he hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, An Xiaonan quickly dribbled forward, and then made a pick-and-roll with Gordon to break through.But as soon as he bypassed the pick-and-roll, he was double-teamed by two people.An Xiaonan groaned inwardly, and quickly passed the ball to Gordon.

After Gordon received the ball, he rushed inside and caused a foul.

One of two free throws.

An Xiaonan felt a little weird, the Thunder's defense strategy tonight was different from the past!
Paul George receives the ball and passes it to Anthony.

Anthony missed a mid-range jumper.

Adams grabs the first offensive rebound of the game!
Vucevic is obviously already very wary of Adams' ability to grab offensive rebounds, but he still can't limit it.

Westbrook pressed the rhythm on the outside, and then decided to hit the ball by himself.

He wanted to directly attack An Xiaonan from outside the three-point line, but his dream didn't come true.

clang clang!
The ball bounced mercilessly out of the frame, obviously the basket didn't want to give him this face.

This time the Magic protected the backcourt rebounds.

An Xiaonan and Gordon once again picked and rolled in the frontcourt.

An Xiaonan's pupils shrank suddenly, this time just after the pick-and-roll, Thunder double-teamed even more fiercely!
Paul George and Robertson's double team!
After Paul George came to the Thunder, he was an old fritter in the hands of steals. His awareness of steal opportunities is not at the level of ordinary people.

An Xiaonan's field of vision was once again limited, and all his efforts were now focused on protecting the ball.

but!
With a snap, An Xiaonan only felt that his right hand was empty, and the basketball that was firmly in his hand was broken!
Paul George!
damn it.

An Xiaonan cursed inwardly, turned around and chased after Paul George's fast attack.Paul George has already suffered a serious injury, and his speed is definitely not as good as it was back then.So An Xiaonan is confident that he can catch up with Paul George's fast break!
But what if you can catch up with Paul George, but you can't catch up with Russell Westbrook who sprinted one step ahead!
Russell Westbrook is running fast in the frontcourt, he is like the fastest cheetah on the court.

Russell Westbrook received a pass from Paul George in the frontcourt, slammed into the inside line in one go, then jumped one step away from the free throw line, and then soared in the air, bringing the audience A wonderful visual feast.

"Bang Dang!!" Westbrook dunked the ball in aggressively!
The Thunder played a [-]-[-] spurt in the opening game.

An Xiaonan faintly felt something was wrong.

When he decided to try it out, he discovered that this was really Thunder's new strategy for him.

Defensive pick-and-roll direct double-team!
Firstly, you can limit your vision, and secondly, you can easily break An Xiaonan's breakthrough by using Paul George's ability to let go.

An Xiaonan is currently at a loss what to do, he needs some time to think.So just after halftime, he didn't take the initiative to attack again, but threw the banner of offense to Gordon.

Restricting An Xiaonan is good, but restricting Gordon is not so easy.Anthony's footsteps and height can no longer keep up with Gordon.Gordon used his newfound footwork to score two points.

Paul George showed a strong desire to attack tonight.

It seems to be rejuvenated, just like An Xiaonan said before the game, when he was young, he was the man who played the tiebreaker with the Heat.

He is that kind of strength now.

Paul George feinted a shot from outside the three-point line, and Simmons, who was defending him, raised his hand vigilantly, and then Paul George used his broad shoulders to forcefully enter the inside line and jumped.Dodges a blocked Vucevic in the air with a beautiful pull bar, then scores a backhand layup!
There was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

Paul George rarely makes this kind of action.

Paul George gets the ball again in the frontcourt!
Obviously Russell found his hope of increasing his assists to ten in Paul George.

He is a mathematician, and he cannot let go of Paul George's fiery state.So he repeatedly shaped Paul George to attack decisively when he received the ball.

Paul George did as he did, and Westbrook's breakaway gave him some space to shoot, and he quickly threw the ball after receiving the ball.

The result is Swish Swish Hit.

The Thunder have led the Magic 13:5 since the start.

Six minutes into the first quarter.

The Magic's offense failed to open for a long time, so Frank Vogel called the first timeout of the game.

"An, your offense is not decisive enough." Vogel said this to An Xiaonan as soon as he came up.

An Xiaonan said: "Sir, I think Thunder has found a way to restrict me."

Everyone was stunned, because it was the first time they heard An Xiaonan say that someone could limit themselves.

They would never have thought that it was the Oklahoma City Thunder with the extremely poor chemical reaction of the Big Three.

An Xiaonan continued: "At least it can restrain me now."

Vogel seemed to think of something, and was surprised: "You mean the double-team after the pick-and-roll?"

An Xiaonan nodded: "Actually, my field of vision is greatly restricted. The first choice is not to pass the ball to the teammate who has the opportunity from outside, but to protect the ball first. In this way They just broke our pick-and-roll with ease."

Vogel pondered for a second, just for a second, and he said decisively.

"Well, you go off the court to rest first. Augustin, you replace An Xiaonan and play point guard."

An Xiaonan nodded, he needed a period of time to observe the actions of the Thunder players off the court.If this defensive tactic is only trained well between Paul George and Robertson, then as long as they leave the field and An Xiaonan plays again, there will be something to say.

Although he fell into an unfavorable situation at the beginning, An Xiaonan didn't show any signs of frustration.

Just like the last game against the 76ers, no matter how far behind, An Xiaonan only needs to perform well and cherish every offensive opportunity as usual, and there will be a possibility of winning.
