Chapter 1952 Go, Go, Go! Is This Top-Notch Visual Enjoyment?
The Lakers are a top team. There is no doubt about this. Four consecutive championships and five consecutive regular season firsts are enough to explain the problem. ESPN said it well. The so-called team that can be compared with the Lakers is not Existing in history means existing in the future. To put it simply, the Lakers are already a super team that transcends reality.
O'Neal's words are not to say that the Lakers have no talent, but that in addition to talent, the Lakers are also abnormal in other aspects.
As for the Thunder, there is no doubt that they are one of the teams with the best individual talent in the league today. Durant and Westbrook have proven their strength with three years of triple jump performance. The most terrifying thing is that this is actually This is not the end of their talent. Their future is still bright to the naked eye. You must know that they have performed at an All-Star level this year, but they still have a lot of room for improvement. It must be said that they are extremely talented. synonym for.
If you look at the Thunder's main tactics this season, you will understand. How to put it, it is actually the same as before. To put it simply, it is two words: poor.
Although Brooks has good talent as a young coach, in terms of tactical arrangements, he is obviously not as good as tactician masters like Popovich and Phil Jackson. Similarly, he cannot give the team such abundant technical and tactical play. He cannot bring the Thunder a distinctive style of play for teams like the Spurs, the former Suns, and the current Lakers.
But he obviously understands what tactics are most suitable for this team.
The characteristics of the Thunder's offensive skills are obvious. In the past three seasons, they have scored more goals with two-point shots. The shooting areas are mostly concentrated under the basket. Three-pointers rely on a fixed group of shooters to score. The offense focuses on the outside. Guards and forwards are the ball. The team's main scoring point, the team's offensive play is reasonable, the effective shooting rate is high, there are few mistakes, the offensive free throw ability is high, and the rebounding ability is mediocre. The team relies on high shooting rate to speed up the offensive rhythm to win the game. .
In terms of the composition of the Thunder's offensive tactics in the three seasons, positional individual offense has the largest proportion, followed by basic coordination of positions, fixed position tactics, and finally fast breaks and rush attacks. In terms of the success rate of tactical application, overall the success rate of fast break is the highest, followed by rush attack, position fixed tactical coordination, position basic coordination and position personal attack. The starting point of fixed tactics is concentrated on outside players. Players move to cover each other and run in a wide range as the main offensive methods. When the team is blocked in fixed tactics, it is also a common tactical method to rely on the individual singles tactics of outside players to end the offense. .
Well, if you think this explanation is too boring, fans actually have a simple description!
On the offensive end, Du Shaowei played less than two people, and during this period, he cooperated with Harden, the best assistant, and coupled with a blue-collar coolie like Ibaka, this is the Thunder's winning formula this season!
Compared with the Lakers who have more than a dozen offensive methods at every turn, saying that the Thunder's talent is not good is a disgrace to the heights he has reached now!
So O'Neal is indeed a wise man, and what he said is to the point.
But in the words of ESPN, this series between the Lakers and Thunder does not need any foreshadowing.
After all, this is the third consecutive season that they have met in the playoffs.
07 Twin Stars, the most familiar strangers, have finally reached the highest stage they can reach after years of competition.
In Adu's words before the game, this is a dream come true.
For Ji Feng, the absolute protagonist of the 2007 Double Star, five consecutive championships is also his dream. To dominate the league and be the top in the world, he must do something that has never been done by his predecessors, so this round of duel is also the same for Ji Feng. important.
All in all, just as the Lakers regard the Thunder as their imaginary enemy, the Thunder also regard the Lakers as their biggest obstacle to the finals.
Both teams have their own reasons and beliefs that they must win.
Who is the king and future of the West in this era?
With the fans cheering wildly on the sidelines, the top ten starting players from both teams finally took to the central stage!
"We meet again, buddy. This time, the winner will be me." Durant was the first to hug Ji Feng before the game.
"Oh? Really? I like your confidence, buddy. You have done well this season, but I'm sorry, I will accept the victory without mercy." Ji Feng responded with a smile, he was no longer A few years ago, Wu Xia Amon was the undisputed top player in the league. He had the confidence to face any challenge.
Game start!
"Welcome to watch the NBA playoffs brought to you by CCTV Sports, G1 of the Western Conference Finals, the first round of the Lakers vs. Thunder at home!" The commentator on the sidelines was also excited.
jump ball!
Erbaka was still fierce, leaping up and overpowering Bynum to get the ball first for the Thunder.
The Thunder were also very direct, speeding up at the beginning. Westbrook took the ball and passed Fisher in one step. He reached the frontcourt without stopping the ball and wanted to rush inside, but Westbrook glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Ji Feng had already returned to defense, so With an alert pass back, Durant caught the ball and made an emergency stop, and made a jump shot to open the scoring for the Thunder!
2-0!
"It's so fast. The Lakers may want to take advantage of his experience by using Fisher, but once the Thunder sees that you are playing Fisher, then I will speed up and beat you. Westbrook has grown very fast this season, and Fisher has already It’s hard to guard him alone,” Yu Jia said.
This is indeed the case. Yu Jia saw it very accurately, but the Lakers' first attack was also direct. Everyone thought that Fisher had to play position, otherwise it would make no sense to play Fisher. But who would have thought that Fisher Er was a connecting point. After receiving the ball, he quickly passed it to Ji Feng. Without saying a word, Ji Feng began to speed up and reached the three-point line in an instant. The Thunder seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and the three of them were preparing to stop Ji Feng.
Ji Feng turned his back and passed the ball without looking at the defender. Lao Yu, who was near the baseline just now, appeared near the bottom corner and caught the ball and made a three-pointer!
Hit!
"Who could have imagined this!" Yu Jia stood up and applauded. This style of play was beyond everyone's expectations. The Thunder was obviously deceived by the Lakers.
However, the Thunder are not impatient. Although they were deceived on the offensive end and were caught off guard, the loopholes on the defensive end are real. Westbrook did not start the second attack quickly, but used the pick-and-roll to bully Fisher's slow movement and scored with a quick stride. He hit Bynum's block under the basket. Although he didn't score, he caused Bynum's thug to foul in person!
Two free throws were made, and the Thunder once again regained the advantage.
The Lakers still didn't play the position this time, using exactly the same tricks. This time the Thunder were prepared, but Ji Feng penetrated deeply into the Thunder and passed back. Kobe caught the ball and licked the basket for another two points!
The whole process only took 11 seconds, which was definitely a fast break!
The Thunder was obviously emotionally aroused by the Lakers. After that, the two teams started a blitzkrieg, and the offense was vigorous. Various fierce confrontations emerged one after another. Ji Feng completed three consecutive rounds of dunks, which made the roar of the scene deafening, and the Thunder used their power. A few strong breakthroughs never fall behind.
32-31!
The two sides played a high-scoring showdown in the first quarter.
