Chapter 802 Gradually regained the offense
Facing Xie Kaibian, LaVine accelerated backwards and rushed in.
Xie Kai blocked LaVine's strong sidehand and confronted the opponent. The NBA arena is not a slam dunk contest, where you can easily go in and dunk.
LaVine's movements were a little deformed, he forcibly collected the ball, and shot a jumper...
"The shooting shape has changed, this ball will not exist!" Mark Jackson said.
Sure enough, the ball almost never sticks!
Pickle accepted the rebound and handed it to Westbrook to counterattack!
Westbrook accelerated with nitrogen in the backcourt, made a strong charge, and distributed it to Xie Kai in the left corner!
Empty seat!
Xie Kai made a 3-point shot——hit steadily!
5:2, the Thunder hit the first 3-pointer of the game!
The cheers and screams of the Thunder fans in the stands immediately sounded. We have played several games this season. The team’s slow start has never been corrected. Today it seems that the morale is good and the cooperation is good. I hope it will not be too late Time is anticlimactic.
The Thunder coach Billy Donovan on the sidelines was quite satisfied with the players' state. He knew that the effect of Xie Kai organizing the meeting of the Big Three was slowly showing.
On the Timberwolves side, Towns wanted to return a 3-pointer, but was rejected by the basket!
Xie Kai opened the rebound, pushed forward by himself, and gave it to George, who was stealing chickens under the basket!
George catches the ball and hits back with both hands!
At 7:2, the Thunder team played a 5:0 spurt, and the Timberwolves immediately requested a timeout!
Wow - the Thunder fans in the stands are climaxing... The tacit understanding among the Big Three is developing in a good direction.These two goals, a 3-pointer and a slam dunk, are all assists, not single goals based on personal ability.
Coach Donovan is pleased with the team's start.More passes, more moves off the ball, more decisive shots, this is what a championship team should have.He really doesn't want to believe that a team with such a configuration plays a constipated offense, which is extremely inappropriate.
The coach of the Timberwolves is Tom Thibodeau, known as the "Fucking Main God".Thinking about Rose's several serious injuries in the Bulls, his death has a lot of "credit".
When Kaizi won the championship in 08, Lao Li's defensive assistant was Thibodeau.Thibodeau does have a good way of training the team's defense. The Bulls' defense was very good before.It's just that after coming to the Timberwolves, he seems to be a different person. The team's defense is poor, but he is no longer the main force, and he starts to play long rotations, and everyone is a soldier.
Some people say that Thibodeau has changed, but Timberwolves fans think he has lost his defense and is no longer like him.
Pause back, the game continues.
Dunn dribbled the ball and gave it to LaVine.
Facing Xie Kai's defense, LaVine didn't know if he had lingering fears, and distributed the ball to Dean near the free throw line.
Dean held the ball and forced Ilyasova to score Downs near the bottom line.
Towns hit a jumper, 7:4.
Mike Breen sighed: "KAT's shooting touch is really good!"
Mark Jackson agrees: "In today's league, big men have no shooting ability, and their tactical status has declined. In addition, if there is no shooting, it is easy to block the inside and affect the offensive space."
On the Thunder side, Westbrook passed the space to Adams, it was too high, and it was out of the baseline...
The Timberwolves attacked, Towns made another mid-range shot, and the score became 7:6, only 1 point away.
When Downs hits duck eggs, he seldom goes to the low post to force him. Instead, he uses his flexible footsteps and shooting to go outside, just to bully you like to squat inside.
Coach Donovan didn't take a timeout, and he didn't think it was time for a timeout.
Westbrook dribbled the ball over, didn't call a screen, and directly forced a breakthrough, thanking Kai from the bottom corner.
Xie Kaidian flew LaVine, broke through along the bottom line, faced Dean who wanted to foul him, made a pass, faced Towns who was helping to defend, and passed a duck egg behind the back to the basket.
Duck smashed the frame with one hand! 9:6, the Thunder continue to lead!
The thunderous cheers from the Thunder fans in the stands, the home team is really strong today, they already have two dunks in such a short time, it's a bit of a blast!
Mike Breen sighed: "Kane Xie is still the same Kane Xie. He can make the best offensive choice in an instant. If he wants to make his offensive foul, isn't the defender afraid of becoming a telegraph pole?"
Thunder coach Donovan on the sidelines is very satisfied with the current state of the team. These offenses are what he considers healthy, because the ball passed through the hands of more than two people, and it ended in the form of assists. This is a cooperative offense and a team The basis of the offense.
Here Towns wants to continue to shoot outside to punish the duck who is squatting. Who knows that the duck has expanded his defense.
Downs hit the duck's egg with the ball, forced a layup and was blocked by pickled peppers who helped defend!
Westbrook immediately counterattacked after getting the ball, but Dunn had no choice but to make a tactical foul to destroy it!
Mark Jackson said: "When OKC's offense goes well, coupled with their defense, this team really becomes strong."
The Thunder continued to attack.Westbrook dribbled over and gave it to Xie Kai.
Xie opened the point to Ilyasova, who scored George in the bottom corner.
George makes one move—hit!
At 11:6, the Thunder extended the score to 5 points.
For the Timberwolves, Dean dunked under the basket and returned the favor, 11:8!
Westbrook came over with a dribble and gave it to Duck after the pick-and-roll.
After Yadan and Xie Kai handed each other, they blocked Lavin for him.
Thank you for changing direction and accelerating the breakthrough, George who split the bottom corner!
George's open 3-point shot-accurate hit!
14:8, the point difference came to 6 points!
"Bang - what a 3!" exclaimed Mike Breen.
The fans in the stands were really excited. The team's offense in this game was smoother than any previous game. Of course, there was also the bonus of the opponent's poor defense. You must know the 3ers, Suns and Lakers in the first three games of the regular season , Their defense is also scumbag.
This can only show that the Thunder's offense is getting better.
Pickle feels good today. He no longer has to worry about holding the ball to score. Off-ball cuts or fixed-point shots make it easier for him to score.And Xie Kai didn't lie, Westbrook didn't become a ball bully, everything is moving in a good direction.
The Timberwolves attacked, Wiggins singled out Pickle, and missed a jumper!
Westbrook accepted the backcourt board, continued to push and counterattack, and gave it to Xie Kai who was going to play quickly!
Facing LaVine's defense, Xie Kai changed direction twice in a row, almost knocking the latter down, and gave the ball to Ilyasova who followed up in the middle!
The Turk made a one-handed dunk!
16:8, the point difference continues to widen!
Coach Thibodeau couldn't sit still and asked for a timeout again!
Thunder fans in the stands cheered one after another, and the Ford Center Arena fell into a climax.
The Thunder players were very excited. Xie Kai high-fived Westbrook and Pickled Pepper. Everyone was roaring. It was really too depressed before.According to the lineup, this team should have the top 5 offensive strength in the league, but in the 5 games that have ended, their offensive efficiency is ranked 8th from the bottom in the league.
This is not only unacceptable to the fans, but also unacceptable to the Thunder players.
