Chapter 853 The True Leader
Wang Meng said: "At the beginning of the game, everyone didn't score. It seems that both sides are very cautious in this game!"
Yang Yi said: "Both sides are trying to find out, and they are fighting with conventional tactics. The intensity of defense is not particularly high, which is also in line with the characteristics of the opening."
The Thunder served from the baseline, a baseline ball tactic, Xie Kaikong cut to the basket, and forced Green's defensive foul.
Xie Kai will stand at the free throw line.
Yang Yi said suddenly: "Pay attention to Green's foul problem. He is the defensive core of the Warriors and plays a high-post role on the offensive end. If he is troubled by fouls, it will be very bad for them."
Thank you for a penalty no...
Xie Kai rarely missed free throws. Since the start of the playoffs, it seems that he has rarely missed free throws.His free throws are so stable that as long as he is sent to the free throw line, basically the point is in his hands.
But Xie Kai hit the second free throw, after all, it is not as embarrassing as missing two free throws!
The Thunder took the lead to score 1:0.
Curry dribbled the ball and gave it to Green.
Green passed the ball to Clay without the ball.
Facing Xie Kai's pursuit, Clay tried to shake off, but failed, and returned the ball to Durant.
Durant singled pickled peppers, cut in after consecutive Crossovers, and made a big loop, causing a duck foul!
Thunder coach Donovan on the sidelines was dissatisfied with the penalty of the ball. He knew Durant too well and knew that this former love would use a giant loop to foul in the game.There will be one or two hits in almost every game, and the referee is very happy with it. ,
Since James went to the Heat, the league has gradually stopped praising him. Even if he returned to the Cavaliers, he still did not get the favor of the league, so he lost the whistle, sometimes he was beaten hard, and he couldn't get free throws. .
And Durant and Harden have been praised by the league, at least in terms of whistle, they really have everything.
Xie Kai has never been a favorite in the league, and his free throws per game have never been among the top 10 in the league.Because he is a yellow man, the alliance will at most use him as a gimmick, but will not use him as a facade, even if his strength is already at the facade level.
Donovan's dissatisfaction had no effect, and Durant still walked to the free throw line.
Durant also made two free throws and one. The difference between him and Xie Kai is that he missed the second free throw.
Duck accepted the rebound and handed it to Westbrook to advance.
Westbrook came over with a dribble, hung a screen and hit the basket, but was interfered by the opponent's contraction, and the layup missed!
Zhazha grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave it to Curry to advance.
Curry came over with a dribble, and it was also a one-block screen, and suddenly fired a cold shot-a direct hit!
Wow - the Warriors fans in the stands were excited, and the shouts immediately rang out.
1:4, the Warriors immediately lead by 3 points!
3分球的上分速度确实是最快的，根据统计35%的3分球命中率，得分率是要高于50%的2分球命中率的。
Therefore, in the current pursuit of efficiency, those long two-pointers above the free throw line are gradually being abandoned. Three-pointers can open up space, are cost-effective, and can stimulate the momentum of the team.
Some people will say that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate in theory.But the problem is that the closer to the basket, the greater the defensive intensity.And there is another point, the length of the 3-point line is fixed, it will be more referential when practiced, and it will be easier to form muscle memory, especially the 3-pointers from the two bottom corners.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the middle distance is not important, but the tactical low position has dropped, which is also an indisputable fact.
The Warriors' defense against the Thunder is also one defense and one defense. They don't flank Xie Kai, but they encourage Westbrook to make 3-point shots during the pick-and-roll.
Their infinite switching defense is very famous in the league, and they also have players who can swing and play multiple positions.So they can use the switch to break the opponent's pick-and-roll.
Pickled Pepper here singles Durant, no jumper!
The Turk fouled for a rebound!
Wang Meng sighed: "The Thunder team's attack is really hurting, and they lost a foul."
Yang Yi said: "The Warriors have unlimited defenses. Durant, you don't think he is not the league's first defense, but he is tall, 211 height, and that wingspan, covering Paul George. It's really true if you can't get rid of him. Not easy to attack."
On the Warriors' side, Durant made a mid-range hit and the score became 1:6!
Thunder timeout!
The Warriors fans in the stands cheered one after another. The home team was playing more and more smoothly on the offensive end, while the opponent was struggling on the offensive end.
Back from the timeout, neither side made substitutions, and the game continued.
Westbrook dribbles over and continues to pick and roll with Duck!
The Turks set an off-ball screen for Pickle.
Empty pickled peppers!
Westbrook points, and Xie Kai points the ball to the air-cut pickled pepper!
The pickled pepper dunk was successful!
3:6, the Thunder's first goal in a sports game!
Wang Meng admired: "This ball is beautiful! It's playing without the ball! This is the connection between the Big Three!"
Yang Yi said: "Durant's single defense is really good, he has height and speed, but he is easy to be dazed when defending without the ball. This is his problem."
The Warriors came here, and Durant wanted to return one, but it was short!
Xie Kai accepted the rebound, pushed forward by himself, and faced Clay's single defense, one with the center of gravity, changed direction with his crotch, got stuck in his body and then walked in, made a false pass, made a real layup, and hit the board high — Hit!
5:6, the point difference narrowed to 1 points!
"Good shot! It's amazing! This shot is entirely based on personal ability!" Wang Meng praised.
Yang Yi explained: "There is no problem with Clay's defense of the ball. Xie Kai used his speed to get stuck in his position, and then used his good finishing ability to complete the attack."
The Thunder came back from a timeout and scored consecutively. The Warriors fans in the stands felt that the opponent was not so easy to deal with, which was completely different from their opponents in the previous two rounds of the series.
On the Warriors side, the ball was passed to the slag under the basket, who was covered by pickled peppers for a layup!
Xie Kai received the ball and counterattacked, and scored Westbrook who was fast in the frontcourt!
Westbrook received the ball, took three steps, completely ignored Durant, hit the basket directly, and dunked!
Wow--
7:6, the Thunder overtook!Warriors pause!
Westbrook spat trash talk at Durant angrily, and hit Xie Kai's chest. He had been holding back for a long time. He had been suppressed since the start of the game, and finally found a vent.He wanted to dunk Durant, but who knew that his former partner gave up at the last moment and got out of the way.
Wang Meng exclaimed: "It really exploded! Xie Kai led this wave of offense, he is really the leader of the team!"
Yang Yi nodded: "Although Westbrook is an old Thunder player among the Big Three, the real core is Xie Kai. Xie Kai is the best of the three whether it is their personal offensive ability or their ability to control the field and dominate the ball. Of course I think Westbrook admires him, in every way."
