After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

The Mavericks' 4-game winning streak has exceeded everyone's expectations. Everyone outside is looking at the Mavericks' opponent in Game 5, which is the Thunder.

Especially a few days ago, the Thunder officially announced Westbrook's return against the Mavericks, which attracted a lot of attention.

Yes, Westbrook has not appeared on the court since the start of the game.

Westbrook is one of the iron men of the NBA. He played all the regular seasons in the first five seasons after entering the league. However, due to a collision with an opponent in the playoffs last season, he tore his meniscus and was reimbursed for the playoffs. The Thunder lost their chance to win the championship.

According to this kind of injury, most players will have to rest for 9 to 10 months, but Westbrook miraculously was able to recover before the start of the season, and it only took him 6 months to recover after playing at full capacity.

But he was a bit miserable. On October 10st, Westbrook was injured again. This time it was arthroscopic surgery to relieve the swelling of the surgically repaired right knee. It is expected to be a few weeks before training camp, preseason and regular season. Missing battle.

But the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, their physiques are frighteningly good, and they are back ahead of schedule this time.

However, although he returned early, not many people outside the world are optimistic that he can return to his peak, because recovery from injuries such as meniscus tears will affect his athletic ability.

However, unlike everyone outside who is not optimistic that Westbrook will have a big impact when he comes back after being injured, Su Jiuyun knows that this pervert will be stronger every time he comes back from a serious injury.

This is indeed a bit outrageous, but it is outrageous. Westbrook in the original time and space has been like this after several serious injuries. He is not getting weaker and weaker, but getting stronger and stronger.

On November 11, the Thunder faced the Dallas Mavericks at home.

In the Mavericks locker room, Carlisle is arranging defensive tasks. After all, whether Durant can be slightly restricted in this game is one of the keys to winning the game, and the heavy responsibility of defending Durant falls on Crowder.

Durant is a master of pull-up shooting. With his height of 2 meters, wingspan of 11 meters, and his soft shooting touch, it can be said that pull-up jump shots are a bit rogue.

However, although Crowder is much shorter than him, he is a master at defending pull-up jumpers. Last season, when he defended his opponent's pull-up jumpers, the opponent only scored 0.76 points per round.

"Jay, defend Durant and give him physical confrontation from the beginning of the game, constantly consuming his physical energy. Also, don't compare with him in height, always try to block his shots.

You just push him off the plate, make him lose his rhythm, lower his shooting percentage, and you will succeed..."

The Mavericks' starting players remain unchanged, while the Thunder's starting lineup is the same as last season, Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka, and Perkins.

At the beginning of the game, Westbrook showed his strong side. In the first offense, he used the pick-and-roll and then rushed inside at lightning speed for a layup.

After scoring the goal, Westbrook roared loudly, as if he was venting his grievances for the past half year.

Westbrook's straight-line acceleration of this ball was still so amazing that Nowitzki was rushed past by the opponent without any reaction.

Moreover, the height of the final take-off was still so sufficient, and he hit the board after dodging Claude's frame protection in the air.

The entire goal-scoring action was full of power, and even Su Jiuyun had to admire the impact of Westbrook's ball, which was indeed full of beauty.

"Oh oh oh, Westbrook hit the basket successfully. Oh my god, he has had two surgeries in the past six months, and one of them was a torn meniscus, but it did not affect even a little bit of his athletic ability. Instead, he felt the impact. It’s stronger, is it my imagination?”

This is what many commentators who broadcast this game said at the same time. There is no way, this ball Westbrook announced to the world that he is back with full blood and resurrection.

Su Jiuyun felt very interesting, and the desire to fight in his heart became stronger and stronger. This was a desire to win when meeting a master.

When the Mavericks attack, Crowder comes out to pick and roll, and it is Perkins who defends Crowder. There is no way, I must let Ibaka, who is more defensive, guard Nowitzki.

It's just that Perkins' mobility was too slow. Su Jiuyun, like Westbrook just now, made a breakthrough and went directly into the paint.

And Ibaka was pulled to the three-point line by Nowitzki, Perkins was passed again, and only Durant was left to protect the frame.

However, Su Jiuyun didn't want to challenge Durant, because this guy's current defensive ability is actually seriously underestimated by everyone.

During this period of Durant, many people felt that his defensive ability was average because he was too thin and easily knocked away.

But in fact, that is underestimating him. With Durant's height and awareness, his frame protection ability is definitely above the average in the league. After all, Su Jiuyun in the original time and space has seen Durant during the Warriors period.

So after breaking in, he didn't make a strong move, but passed the ball to Middleton outside the three-point line while moving.

"brush"

Beautiful sounds spread throughout the stadium. Middleton's open three-pointers have been reflected in the past four games. His 4% open three-point shooting rate is not fake.

Kenny Smith lamented:

"The Mavericks and Thunder both have one of the league's top impact point guards, but their technical characteristics are also fundamentally different, and the two offenses just past can reflect the difference between the two individuals.

When Westbrook rushed into the paint just now, there was help from the opponent to defend him. In fact, he could have passed it to Sefolosha who cut in from the side. It would have been a completely empty basket, and the success rate must be higher than his folding.

But we know that Westbrook is a passionate player, so it is possible that he chose a difficult goal to announce to the world that he is back.

If this kind of behavior were in the playoffs, he would probably be considered a boss by the outside world. After all, it is his label that he is easy to take advantage of during critical moments in the playoffs.

But Su is different. He knows what he should do at any time and which way can better help the team.

So he could choose to challenge Durant for the ball just now. After all, he is 1 meters tall, and his jumping ability and impact are no worse than Westbrook, or even stronger. But he still calmly chose to pass to the open space. Middleton has an extremely accurate three-point shooting percentage in 96 games.

This is why the Mavericks will undergo earth-shaking changes after having him, and this is why he led the Mavericks and the Spurs in 6 games before losing in the playoffs last year. "
