Chapter 902
This Timberwolves team seems to be in the forefront of strength on paper, but when they met the defending champion Thunder, they immediately exposed the flaws in the lineup.In today's league that pays more and more attention to shooting ability, even players who abuse the frame like James and Griffin are practicing outside shooting crazily. Getting smaller and smaller.
Even Xie Kai can see that if you let Teague and ** partner in the backcourt, then unless you partner with a 3D player as the 3rd position, and then partner with a space-type insider, the offensive space is still barely enough.
Even the Thunder, with the space-type No. 4 Patterson, the top 3D star Paojiao, and Xie Kai, who has no dead ends to attack the nuclear weapon, sometimes misses jumpers when Westbrook is inaccurate, and Patterson's 3-pointer is unstable. Under certain circumstances, there will also be problems with offensive space, let alone a team like the Timberwolves.
Just imagine, your starting 3-pointer is the most stable center forward. You can't let your inside core always float outside the 3-point line, right?In this way, his offensive threat is much smaller, and it is not conducive to fighting for offensive rebounds.
But the management of the Timberwolves team is sometimes so stupid, put Teague and ** together, plus a Goji Mamba who likes to attack with the ball, the three of them can make up most of the mahjong table, but there is no Determine who should play off the ball.
Thibodeau is not good at training offenses, and he can't solve the coexistence problem of ** Teague and Goji.Of course, this is really not easy to solve, just like the Bulls' three rejections last season.Even with a top basketball IQ like Rondo Wade, it still can't solve the stubborn problem of no shooter in the outside three-man team.
So for the Timberwolves, either let the three players in the backcourt with the best shooting Gouqi play more off the ball, or it can only be like this, let Towns do the 3th position in space.
Of course, it is impossible for Wolfberry to play without the ball. He is the key training object of the team, and it is impossible for him to give up the right to attack with the ball.In the NBA, outside players want to hold the ball. With the ball in their hands, they have statistics, which is the condition for becoming an All-Star or even an MVP.
The scores of the two teams did not open up. When the second lineup came up, the Timberwolves led the team by defeating 2, and they were full of firepower. Everyone kept attacking, and even the Thunder did not really increase their strength.
首节结束，雷霆队以32:31领先1分。谢开首节得到6分3篮板3助攻1抢断。
The second quarter was similar to the first quarter. The two teams played loosely without strong physical confrontation. It was more like a preseason game than a regular season.
At halftime, the Thunder led by 64 points 62:2.
Xie Kai scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in the halftime. He made no mistakes and performed steadily.From the eyes of the fans at the scene, he didn't seem to be sweating much, and he didn't have a strong desire to attack the opponent. Everyone seemed to be playing for fun.
But in the third quarter, when the Thunder instantly increased their defensive strength, the Timberwolves' flaws were exposed.Regardless of whether it is Gouqi or **, when facing defenders of the level of Xie Kai and Paojiao, they cannot play an effective offense when the team lacks enough space to attack.So for a while, the team's offense was maintained by Towns' outside demolition and occasional singles.
As for the Thunder team, Xie Kai was still able to play singles in the face of **, and Pickled Pepper beat Gouqi brother very smoothly.As for duck eggs inside and Patterson's 3-point fixed point, they also have to eat and drink.
The Thunder quickly took the lead.
At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder led by 3 points 89:80.
谢开3节得到22分6篮板5助攻3抢断1盖帽。
In the last quarter, the Thunder continued to maintain a high-intensity defense and used counterattacks to continue to expand their lead.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 122:111 at home, ushering in a 3-game winning streak since the start of the game.
谢开全场得到28分8个篮板8次助攻4个抢断1个盖帽，其他两巨头也都砍下20+，这是3人本赛季第一次均砍20+。
For the Timberwolves, Gouqi's statistics are still very good. 22+5+2+1, and no mistakes, but with him on the court, the team's plus-minus is not good.
Not only that, under his defense, Pickled Pepper has to eat and drink, with a true shooting percentage of 65%.
Xie Kai wondered why Thibodeau, a coach known for his defense, would have such a poor defense for the Timberwolves.It's not that they don't have defensive resources. As long as Towns and Gouqi have a correct attitude, both of them have very good defensive hardware conditions.The rest of the old Bulls, who are tough and tough like Gibson, even if their defense can't squeeze into the top 5 in the league, there is still hope for the top 3.But they have played [-] games this season, and their defense is the worst in the league.
For defense, it often depends on the coach's arrangement and system, and more importantly, the attitude and willingness of the players.Everyone is unwilling to put in physical energy to defend, even the best system is blind.
On October 10, the Thunder continued to play at home against the Pacers.
The two teams had traded before. In order to get pickled peppers, the Thunder sent Oladipo and Sabonis Jr.The two adapted well to the Pacers, played their own basketball, and are currently firmly occupying the starting lineup. Audi has even become the team's head star.
In this game, the Thunder still showed their advantages on both offense and defense, beating their opponents 114:96 and ushering in 4 consecutive victories.
Two days later, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves again in an away game. They have won two victories this month and ushered in a 5-game winning streak.
10月29日，雷霆队背靠背客场以101:69狂胜鱼腩公牛，迎来了6连胜。
The defending champions have achieved a complete victory at the beginning of the season, and the Big Three are in very good condition, which makes other powers in the league very worried.This team has both offense and defense, and the core three giants are all under 30 years old, very young. Although there are some hidden dangers of injuries, when the hidden dangers do not occur, these are not problems.
Xie Kai is in very good form. He seems to play effortlessly, but the average score is more than 30 points per game, which is very effective. It will disappoint the fans who think that he will die this season.
11月1日，雷霆客场以110:91大胜雄鹿，迎来7连胜。他们也成为了开赛以来保持全胜的球队。
On November 11, the Thunder narrowly lost to the Celtics at home and missed their 4-game winning streak.
The winning streak has made this team play a bit easier, and the defensive strength is not as tight as it was at the beginning of the season, so it is not easy to tighten up all of a sudden.
Kaizi was indeed tenacious and iron-blooded, fighting to the last moment, and finally defeated Thunder.
This summer, the Big Three of the Cavaliers disbanded, Irving applied for a trade, and was eventually traded to Boston.Here, he became the team's biggest superstar, controlled the ball, and realized the role he had always expected to be.
