Chapter 797 The hidden danger behind the 4 consecutive victories
The management of the Lakers has become a negative example for the league when it comes to signings and contract extensions since Bass retired.This is also one of the reasons why those big-name free agents are unwilling to go, after all, no one wants to disturb the muddy water.
Here the Thunder team attacked, and Westbrook held the ball and forced Russell to kill one, causing the latter to foul.
Russell is 196cm tall, but he seldom puts his focus on defense, and he doesn't feel guilty about being passed. It seems that there are always teammates behind him to help him defend because he is an outside player.He belongs to the type who is aggressive on the offensive end and lazy on the defensive end. This kind of player, in the eyes of the older generation of players, is a selfish and irresponsible player.
Substitutions were made on the sidelines, Xie Kai and Paojiao went off, Robertson and Abrines came on.
This is a regular rotation. The configuration of the Thunder determines that they can keep 1-3 giants on the field at any time, or even 2-3 all the time. Of course, there is no need to be so deadly in the regular season.
After Xie Kai and the others left the field, Westbrook played even harder, because he basically controlled the ball, and he didn't have to worry about Xie Kai and Pickled Pepper.
The biggest problem of the Big Three is the problem of possession of the ball, especially the three outside giants, which is especially serious, unless there are two more players without the ball.
There is only one basketball, and there are 5 people on the court. It is best not to have more than 2 ball holders, otherwise it will appear a bit chaotic, which is not a good thing for offense.Even in the Princeton system of the Kings back then, the main ball holder was Bibby, and the second ball holder was Webber. As for the other three players, Divac, Christie and Peja, they all had the ball in transition, not holding the ball for a long time. players.In the Warriors last season, everyone can hold the ball. The main ball-handlers in the starting lineup are Curry and Green, and the ball-handlers of the second team are Iguodala and Livingston.
The current problem for the Thunder is that there are too many ball-handlers in the starting lineup. Westbrook and Xie Kai are the ball-handlers, but Paojiao is not willing to just become 3D, he also wants to be the ball-handler.
In this way, the possession of the ball is not enough, and the 24-second attack time is often due to the lack of timely shots, resulting in a hasty shot at the end. If the shooting rate is high, there will be ghosts.
Of course, playing more off the ball does not mean not holding the ball, but it depends on the situation.Clarifying who is in charge of the ball and who is off the ball can reduce mistakes, and the execution of offensive tactics is also clearer.
But pickle pepper was also the number one star of the Pacers before!If you let him come here to form the Big Three, he is already the third giant in name, but you still want him to be 3D, which is definitely unacceptable.After all, Paojiao is only 3 years old, he is at the peak, and he is very energetic!
Of course, Xie Kai knew about this problem. He had thought about this problem when forming the Big Three, because their Big Three and the introduction of Durant by the Warriors are somewhat different.
The Splash Brothers of the Warriors are top off-the-ball shooters. Durant is essentially better at shooting than breaking through, and he doesn't have to have the ball in his hands.
Pickle is actually better at shooting than breaking through, but he wants to get more ball possessions, and he wants to hold the ball like James.
As for Westbrook, if he doesn't have the ball in his hand, the threat will drop too much. His off-ball is not so reliable, and he is not even as good as some outstanding role players.
So once Xie Kai and Paojiao both need to hold the ball, the possession of the ball is definitely not enough.Originally, Ilyasova and Duck Dan didn't attack with the ball, but even if these two didn't hold the ball, they still didn't have enough possession of the ball...
In this way, the Big Three 1+1+1 is not > 3. The current effect is not as good as taking it apart and using it, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
After all, when you close the game, the Big Three need to work together and play together.
Therefore, the problem of ball rights needs to be resolved, otherwise it will have little effect after working for a long time.
Westbrook led the team alone, played well, beat the Lakers to no avail, and quickly took the lead.
When Xie Kai and Paojiao came up, they played a very strong offensive together with Kanter on the inside.
The Lakers' second lineup is Jordan Clarkson, No. 2 pick Brandon Ingram, Reed, Larry Nance Jr., and Tarik Black.
This lineup is characterized by defense, which is particularly poor...
Clarkson only has the basket in his eyes, and so does Reed. In order to fulfill his talent and become a starter early, Ingram is also a black hole in possession of the ball. When the ball is in his hands, it is difficult to get it out.
As for Larry Nance Jr. and Blake, one is a dunker and the other is a blue-collar. They don't compete with them for the ball, but they don't have a sense of presence. On the contrary, they are eaten by Kanter because they are not tall enough...
Kanter likes to play this kind of short insider who has no range and height. His back is stuck in his position, and the opponent can't even jump. It's like Yao Ming playing sparks back then.
The Lakers quickly took a double-digit lead.It's just that in the middle and late part of the second quarter when the Big Three combined, the Thunder's offense became constipated again, and there were two violations in just 2 seconds.
The Lakers, relying on Russell's random shooting, brought the score closer.His talent is on the shooting end, and he has a very good long-range shooting touch, which is suitable for today's 3-point + small-ball league.
At halftime, the Thunder at home led by 55 points 52:3.
The plot of the second half is somewhat similar to the first half. The advantage of the Big Three together is not so obvious, but the advantage of the Big Three apart is obvious.
There is still no suspense about the result of the game. The Thunder defeated the Lakers 111:100 at home and ushered in a 3-game winning streak.
谢开本场比赛砍下25+5+5+2+1，威少砍下21+7+9+1，泡椒砍下19+6+2+1+2。
Although they have achieved three consecutive victories, because the opponents are relatively weak, it is impossible to see the true current situation of this team.
Therefore, they need a stronger opponent to test the results of their running-in.
On November 11, the Thunder was a guest at Staples and played away against the Clippers.
The Clippers have been sluggish in the past few seasons. They can easily enter the playoffs, but to go further, the team's persistent illness on the wing has been hindering them.And in the playoffs, the great reduction in the power of Jordan and Duanfen is also an important reason.Relying on Lao Pao to carry alone, after all, I have more energy than energy.
In this game, the offenses of both sides played poorly, and the constipation reached a certain point.
But in the end the game reached the critical countdown stage. Relying on Westbrook's strong breakthrough and Xie Kai's mid-range, the Thunder still defeated their opponents in the away game and ushered in a 4-game winning streak.
Although it was tough, the Thunder kept winning.The fans are very happy because they saw this team beat a strong team and showed its strength.
Doubts about Xie Kai's status are gradually dissipating.He has already played a quasi-lore at the critical moment of the two games, and his performance has been stable. The fact that he did not average 30+ points per game is not because his efficiency has dropped a lot, but the number of shots is indeed less.
