Chapter 168 Another Dwight Howard(1/2)
Brooks waits for the game to resume.
Past experience tells him, well, no, he has no past experience. Coaching the Thunder is his first time as a head coach.
His intuition told him that Gentry called this timeout to change his formation.
As for what kind of transformation it will be.
This is not something Brooks can know.
So he was very nervous at the moment. He didn't know what kind of changes Gentry had made and what impact it would have on the Thunder.
Brother, none of you have ever been a head coach, so don’t embarrass others!
"beep!"
Brooks' thoughts quickly returned to the court as the referee's whistle sounded.
Although if he really encounters a situation, he may not be able to think of any changes for a while, but at least his attitude is serious!
This is enough!
Zhou Shuren has a good saying, "If your ability is not enough, your attitude must be adequate"!
Of course, there was also a powerful man named Lu who said, "Is it true? I don't believe it!"
The first is the offensive end.
Steve Nash held the ball through half court, found the open Ariza during the breakthrough, and passed the ball to the latter. Ariza then passed the ball to Richardson, assisting the "Slam Dunk King" to complete the score.
OK, there are no changes, it’s still an offense that the Thunder can’t defend!
What about the defensive end?
This is what Brooks is more concerned about.
The Thunder just relied on offense to maintain a stalemate with the Suns.
Press defense?
He subconsciously glanced at the time, and there were about 6 minutes left in the second quarter.
It's not impossible for the Suns to increase their defensive intensity, and there is still halftime to rest.
But, can this prevent us?
Brooks didn't believe it.
The Thunder team on the court now is a "gun" that can fire five shots!
Just relying on a full-court press to silence the Thunder's offense is looking down on the talent of these guys in the Thunder, isn't it?
Sure enough, Westbrook drew a double-team during his breakthrough and passed the ball to James Harden. James Harden then passed the ball to Jeff Green under the basket.
At this time, Jeff Green is in an open position!
Look!
Five "guns" on the field!
How can you guard against it?
It’s impossible to guard against it!
Brooks showed a hint of genuine expression, he was proud of his "kids".
"Snapped!"
It's just that Green's ball, which seemed to be steadily entering the frame, was swatted away by a sudden extended hand as soon as it left his hand.
Violent interception from Lin Ri.
Didn't this guy just make up the defense?
You came back so quickly?
Jeff Green was stunned for a moment. He had just watched this guy rush out with his own eyes. He had never seen him return to defense so quickly before!
Brooks was also shocked by the speed of Lin Ri's defense this time.
He originally thought that Green could score this goal 100% of the time.
Just kidding, under the basket, inside, no one is guarding! What is this equivalent to? This is equivalent to flying dragon riding on the face, how can we lose!
He couldn't think of a reason to lose.
Of course now he knows that the guy opposite is not a "human"!
Ariza protected the ball thrown by Lin Ri, then dribbled it forward, and immediately handed it to Steve Nash. The "Son of the Wind" controlled the ball steadily, and then dribbled towards the frontcourt.
This time he was still rushing very fast, and suddenly made a "backhand" under the basket and passed the ball out again.
At this time, the entire Thunder team's defense had completely shrunk.
"Whoa!"
A lot of space was left on the outside, and the "Slam Dunk King" succeeded in shooting again.
This time he hit a three-pointer!
Score 5 points in a row!
Richardson handsomely made a gesture of blowing the barrel and closing the gun.
He was delighted!
These 5 points helped the Suns instantly open the point difference to more than 6 points.
If the Thunder don't score on the next possession, I'm afraid the point difference will be widened to more than 8 points, and they'll reach double digits in no time.
So for the Thunder, it's a very important time for their next attack.
"Give me the ball!"
"Son of Thunder" wants the ball!
At this time, he must stand up.
Ariza is still forcing defense, and Kevin Durant is still taking long strides and making pull-up jump shots.
"Bang!"
Only this time, Kevin Durant missed the shot.
This ball was so important that it affected Kevin Durant's emotions when he shot. His fingers were slightly stiff during the entire process, and the arc of the ball was not as perfect as usual, but slid through a somewhat flat arc.
, hit the basket straight up, and fell out again.
Has it finally worked?
Ariza looked at Kevin Durant, whose aim was a bit off this time, and muttered to himself: It finally worked.
This guy is really abnormal. He made so many pull-up jump shots in a row and still managed to maintain such accuracy. He has only had ups and downs until now.
Really are……
Abnormal!
"Hoo!"
Ibaka tried his best to grab this rebound.
"Snapped!"
But Lin Ri still grabbed the rebound one step faster than him.
"start running!"
Lin Ri, who got the rebound, threw it directly to the frontcourt. He could clearly see that Richardson was already running when he landed.
This is the reward for trust!
Lin Ri made a long throw. Although the ball landed a little further than he expected, Richardson still caught up.
180 degree turn and dunk!
The "Slam Dunk King"'s consecutive scoring streak has reached 7 points!
This night, Richardson dreamed back to the past!
Yes, the feeling of flying~~~
While returning to defense, Richardson looked for Lin Ri and gave him a high-five.
The score difference is 9 points!
As long as the Thunder can defend the next round, the Suns will have a chance to widen the point difference to more than double digits.
"Defend!"
"Defend!"
"Defense!!"
The Suns' auditorium also erupted in loud cheers at this time. They could also see that a key round that might affect this game had arrived.
