After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

As the game progressed, Marion couldn't guard Durant, but on the defensive end, because Su Jiuyun and Nowitzki were playing pick-and-rolls, the Thunder used a strategy of blocking in front and chasing after Su Jiuyun.

The effect came out. Su Jiuyun did not dare to challenge Perkins easily, but the Thunder let Marion go. Within 3 minutes, Marion made 3 of 3 shots, and he and Durant had an exchange of blows. This was what everyone expected before the game. Not expected.

Marion made a mid-range shot, and the ball bounced out of the frame, but Marion, who followed up, relied on his wingspan and bounce speed to tap the ball in before Perkins got the rebound.

At 12:8, the Mavericks took the lead. Marion scored eight of these twelve points.

The Thunder had to call a timeout.

On the Thunder bench, Coach Brooks held a tactical board, but did not draw any tactics because he felt it was unnecessary. Instead, he directly explained:

"Wait a minute, if Su is in a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, just let Perkins protect the frame alone. Everyone must rotate quickly. Be optimistic about their shooters and don't let them get 3-pointers. Opportunity.

Russell, the offensive end will increase the pressure on Su. I want him to put in huge energy on both offense and defense. "

All the Thunder players nodded, except for Durant, who frowned.

Since last season, he has found that his role on the offensive end has changed, and he is no longer the first choice.

In many cases, Brooks' first choice becomes Westbrook, which can be seen from the number of shots taken.

So far this season, Westbrook's shots are actually higher than Durant's.

Durant only averaged 17.7 shots per game, while Westbrook actually took 18.7.

But Durant's heart is not so sensitive right now, and he is worried about his brotherhood with Westbrook, so he doesn't say anything. After all, although he doesn't take as many shots as Westbrook, his scoring efficiency has not dropped, and his average per game has still reached 28.1 points.

The atmosphere on the Mavericks bench is very good, after all, the score is now ahead.

"Su, Dirk, they should change their defense next. No matter how they change, I need you to attack hard and hit them a few times.

No matter how they change, we just don't follow their lead, we follow our own. "

Su Jiuyun and Nowitzki nodded, they understood what Carlisle meant.

After returning from the timeout, Westbrook held the ball. Facing Su Jiuyun's defense, he dribbled the ball and suddenly accelerated to break through, but the change of direction was not very large.

Westbrook's breakthrough actually doesn't change direction very much, his linear acceleration is the fastest.

Su Jiuyun quickly moved sideways.

"bump"

More than 3 minutes into the game, the two defenders, both with equally explosive playing styles and strong speed and impact, finally had their first collision.

This time, Su Jiuyun's body had a slight advantage. Westbrook's speed slowed down, but Su Jiuyun was also knocked back half a step by the huge impact. Westbrook still rushed in, facing Claude who was assisting in defense. , jumped up directly, trying to end the offense with a dunk.

Although Crowder is still a little short when playing the 4th position, his defense is still very tough, and he is tough and fierce at the same time. It is impossible for Westbrook to dunk in front of him so easily.

Westbrook's dunk was eventually interrupted by Crowder's foul.

When the Thunder fans at home saw Westbrook's sudden burst, they thought it was another dunk to end the offense. They loved watching this kind of offense so much that they cheered, but Crowder made a foul and ended this wonderful attack. The goal was interrupted, which made them extremely angry, and they booed non-stop.

It was a pity not only for the fans at the scene, but also for many commentators who explained the game.

"Hahaha, in a collision between two representatives of explosive guards, Westbrook still won.

If Crowder hadn't fouled, this ball might have become one of today's top 10 goals, but it's a pity. "

After landing, Westbrook shook his sore arm dissatisfiedly and looked at Su Jiuyun. Su Jiuyun could see the fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Su, your defense is not as good as others say!"

"Really, then you have to wait and see! But you'd better make the free throws first, don't miss two free throws, that would be embarrassing."

"Humph"

Westbrook snorted and turned his head, walking to the free throw line.

In fact, Westbrook's current free throw shooting percentage is still pretty good, about 80% lower all year round, but not as high as 60% later.

But I don't know if it was Su Jiuyun's crow's mouth, but Westbrook actually missed two free throws. After Claude protected the backcourt rebound, he returned to defense with a dark face without even looking at Su Jiuyun.

"Russell, let me teach you what a point guard is!"

When the Mavericks attacked, Su Jiuyun was not as reckless as Westbrook. He and Nowitzki broke through the pick-and-roll and found that Sefolosha was chasing behind, with only Perkins protecting the frame.

However, this time Su Jiuyun did not challenge directly, but made a ground pass because Nowitzki had already moved in.

After Nowitzki got the ball in the mid-range, he relied on the chasing 18 cards, and then made a mid-range shot.

After a few games of running-in, there are more pick-and-roll routines between the two, unlike at the beginning where the most common ones were outside shots.

Although 18 Ka is one of the players with the highest demand for the best defensive player this year, since he entered the league, he has not had many ways to defend Nowitzki.

Breakthroughs, Golden Rooster's independent fadeaway shots, 3-pointers, mid-range, and all-round offensive methods made 18ka like a punch on cotton, with nowhere to focus.

In the playoffs of the previous two years, facing Nowitzki, he was directly beaten on the defensive end, which also caused the Thunder to be eliminated by the Mavericks 4:1 in the Western Conference Finals.

In the next few rounds, Westbrook played alone, but he only hit one layup in three shots. He also confidently took out his zombie jumper, but he made less irons and more irons.

On the other hand, Su Jiuyun never confronts defensive players head-on. He mostly plays ball for Nowitzki.

Nowitzki also gave 18 Cards a taste of being beaten.

Nowitzki scored 4 points in the next 5 or 7 minutes, almost shutting down 18 cards.

With 1 minutes left in the first quarter, Nowitzki's golden rooster independence after taking the ball from the mid-range once again almost collapsed and helpless. What a 4-year-old grandfather?
