NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

Although it is generally believed that the Oklahoma City Thunder may become Ye Huan's background board.

But if you look closely at their performance so far this season, it's still quite good.

During this offseason, they traded players such as Westbrook, George, and Grant.

It’s no exaggeration to say that they traded away the entire starting five from last season.

But so far this season

They still achieved 9 wins and 8 losses, ranking eighth in the Western Conference.

Deandre Ayton, the core player of the team who was traded in the summer, has performed brilliantly this season.

He averaged 19.8 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.

You know, being able to lead the team to the eighth place in the Western Conference, which is full of strong teams, is already quite good.

“We are ready for everything!”

In the pre-match interview, Thunder head coach Donovan directly stated: "Limiting Ye Huan's performance will be the top priority of this game!"

"We have to thank the Phoenix Suns. They made everyone understand how explosive Ye Huan's three-point shooting ability is!"

Just like what coach Donovan said.

This season, every game of Ye Huan will be the subject of repeated study by the coaching staff of all Western teams.

For example, in the opening game against the Phoenix Suns, Ye Huan's unstoppable ability to break through with the ball attracted much attention.

Many teams choose to limit Ye Huan's singles with the ball.

For example, in the second game against the Suns, he made an astonishing 15 three-pointers in a single game.

It also made other coaching staff realize how terrifying Ye Huan’s three-point shooting ability is.

After the defending champion Golden State Warriors disintegrated during the offseason today.

Ye Huan is undoubtedly the most watched person among the coaching staffs of other Western teams, no doubt about it!

after all

If the team wants to go further in the playoffs, then how to defeat Ye Huan is an unavoidable question!

Back to Staples Center

Former No. 1 draft pick Deandre Ayton seems confident about his revenge on Ye Huan.

From the beginning of the jump ball, Ayton burst out with rare fighting spirit, defeated Aquaman Adams, and was the first to pass the ball to his teammates.

"Deandre Ayton, I'm here today to take revenge on Ye Huan!"

"He has a high fighting spirit and he will prove that there is no fake No. 1 pick!"

On the ESPN commentary booth, the two commentators were just about to praise Ayton's rise this season.

But the next moment, the situation on the field changed.

Ayton was double-teamed in his low-post one-on-one play, and the basketball in his hand was easily stolen by Ye Huan who broke in.

After completing the emphasis, Ye Huan quickly passed the ball to Westbrook and rushed to the frontcourt.

And Westbrook also understands it.

While holding the ball and accelerating the counterattack, he always observed Ye Huan's position and followed up to pass the ball to Ye Huan who was outside the left three-point line.

"Oh!"

The moment the basketball was in his hand, all the Clippers fans in the Staples Center stood up and raised their hands at the same time.

The atmosphere was already there.

Next is Ye Huan’s time to show off.

"Shh!"

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then went through the net bag.

After scoring, Ye Huan made a pistol-tilted head-pointing celebration gesture towards the Clippers fans on the sidelines!

"This is a counterattack tactic unique to the Los Angeles Clippers!!"

"That's right, the chemistry between Westbrook and Ye Huan is already excellent enough!"

"Only Westbrook can deliver such an accurate long pass in a counterattack. Similarly, only Ye Huan would not rush into the restricted area in a fast break counterattack, but instead shoot a three-pointer!!"

Only Westbrook + Ye Huan can play this unique combination.

This is also the most familiar classic combination among Los Angeles' opening counterattack tactics!

"Pay attention to your defense speed, don't be careless!!"

Thunder head coach Donovan on the sidelines loudly reminded his players.

As the head coach who has coached Westbrook for three years, he knows very well how terrible it would be if he were allowed to rush.

"duang!"

Immediately afterwards, the Thunder were reminded by head coach Donovan.

As expected, there were no turnovers in the next round, but the ball was not put into the basket either.

The rebound was secured by Grant and then passed to Robertson.

Although Carrot's defense is very strong, he is just a supporting role on the offensive end. He dribbles the ball one step and then quickly passes the ball to Westbrook.

"Whoosh!"

Westbrook didn't stop the ball. He twisted his feet and passed the ball to Ye Huan in the frontcourt like a missile.

“Bang!

With the basketball in hand, Ye Huan faked a three-threat move to shake off the defense in front of him, and still outside the three-point line, he made a sudden stop and counterattacked with a three-point shot!!!

"Shh!"

No surprises!

Three-pointer hit again!

6: 0!

Just 30 seconds into the game, the Los Angeles Clippers launched two consecutive counterattacks.

And all of them are connected between Westbrook and Ye Huan.

Thunder head coach Donovan was obviously a little anxious and stood up from his seat:

“Don’t just play one-on-one, move the ball more!

"At the same time, pay attention to the speed of returning to defense and don't let the opponent launch a counterattack!"

The Clippers counterattacked with two three-pointers at the beginning of the game.

Who can stand this?

Come back.

The Thunder team has also become much more cautious

During the offensive round, the team passed the ball several times in an attempt to find the best scoring opportunity.

Then.....

They had a glorious 24-second violation.

"The 24-second shot clock is up and the Oklahoma City Thunder are...still moving the ball!??

"They seem to be frightened by the Clippers' counterattack and dare not attack easily!"

"This is the terrifying thing about Westbrook and Ye Huan. Their transition offense puts too much psychological pressure on their opponents!"

As the two commentators said:

With the perimeter defense group led by Ye Huan + Robertson + Grant and Westbrook, it is difficult for the Thunder's rookies to make any breakthroughs.

Moreover, at the beginning of the game, Ye Huan made two consecutive counterattack three-pointers, coupled with the roar of the team's head coach Donovan.

This caused a sudden increase in psychological pressure on the Thunder's young players.

The 24-second violation in this round was because they didn't want to attack rashly, which led to Westbrook's counterattack.

"Go back to defense! Damn it!"

Just when the Thunder players were feeling depressed, the team's head coach on the sidelines suddenly roared.

When they came to their senses, the Clippers were about to throw the ball in from the sideline.

Westbrook accelerated with the ball and flew on both wings with Ye Huan.

The entire Thunder team was still remorseful for the 24-second offensive violation, but the Clippers' king bomb had already arrived!

frontcourt!

Westbrook saw Ye Huan point one finger to the sky, and with a slight shake of his wrist, the basketball drew a perfect parabola in the air and flew towards the basket.

next moment!

Ye Huan jumped into the air under the basket and caught the pass with one hand in the air.

The moment Westbrook saw Ye Huan catch the ball in the air, he turned around and raised his arms high to celebrate in advance.

No need to look!

No need to ask!

This is another combination of the best!

"boom!"

After Westbrook turned around to celebrate in advance, Ye Huan made a one-armed tomahawk dunk and scored! !

The dunk was so powerful that it made the basket clang loudly! !
