Chapter 50 Exploding Westbrook!(2/3)
This is true even for a mid-range shooter like Jordan. NBA defensive players, not even Jordan, dare to look down upon him.
But Westbrook's zombie jumper is different. It goes straight up and down, even with a slight forward lean. It's like he's specifically looking for defensive players.
If it is just to find shooting fouls, it is definitely not cost-effective. The referee cannot call shooting fouls so frequently.
It's no problem to lean forward once or twice or kick forward to find a shooting foul.
But if you organize your regular skills like this, there is only one possibility, and that is self-confidence!
The Thunder's leading guard is too confident.
Treat NBA defensive players like air.
He does have such confidence, he can jump really high, and ordinary players can't stop his zombie jump shot.
Whether he can enter or not is really up to him.
No matter who is in front of you, I can pull you out if I want to, without any fuss!
At the same time, this kind of difficult zombie jump shot always likes to shoot against people. Of course it is a good idea if it goes in, but if it doesn't, it is a mess.
Generally speaking, this kind of zombie jumper pull-up is considered by the coach to be an impatient wave shot.
When playing against the Lakers, how can you keep shooting from the outside? Go in, kill in, kill these old men!
Therefore, for the Lakers, using Kobe and those taller and better defensive players to defend Westbrook encourages him to break out and makes Westbrook's play reasonable.
With his character, including Howard, he can kill him without fail. Howard is too precious to the Lakers. If he really wants to kill him for a few fouls, Du Kang will really cry to death.
During the simulation, Du Kang was really killed and cried by Westbrook.
Du Kang finally realized that he still had to defend Nash. A defender like Nash would let you go. With Westbrook's style of play and personality, it would be a bit rude if you didn't.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After Westbrook made three consecutive hits, he immediately hit three consecutive irons.
That is to say, the Lakers can't break fast now, and a group of outside veterans can't directly play fast break. If it were a team like the Heat, James would have already appeared under the Thunder basket with Westbrook's unreasonable strike.
.
After Westbrook hit three consecutive hits in the opening game, the online audience was actually already having a party.
“Coach D’s whole job is probably going to be hammered to death by Russell!”
"Coach D doesn't really think that mvp and mvp are the same, does Nash can guard Russell?"
"Russell feels slighted, his anger is 1,000, coach D and Nash, die!"
Lakers fans all over the Internet are trembling.
However, the online fans did not rejoice for long. Westbrook, who had a perfect start, suddenly started to get excited.
And it's the kind that can't be dealt with once it's ironed.
For a moment, the netizens who were having a party just now were dumbfounded.
"Damn it, Nash can't really guard Russell, can he?!"
"The key is that Nash just stood there and did nothing. Can this be considered a defense by Nash?"
"It's obviously the same shot, and the defensive intensity of the shot is so high, why can the front be scored so fast, but the back is so unstable with the clanking iron?!"
If we don't say that Westbrook plays "fans happy ball", a game can always give you a lot of reversals.
Otherwise, Du Kang wouldn't have suffered a nervous breakdown caused by Westbrook.
Then I came to the conclusion that the game against the Thunder should be simulated as little as possible.
If Thunder fans watch too many Thunder games, it will be bad for their heart and shorten their lifespan.
In fact, the same is true for the Thunder's opponents.
After Westbrook hit the iron three times in a row, he obviously got a little carried away.
This is Nash!
Once Westbrook gets his head up, he tends to lose concentration and use too much force when defending.
Looking back, Nash, who was running without the ball, had a three-point opportunity. He received Yi Jianlian's pass and shot from outside the three-point line.
Westbrook is really fierce. Even if he is out of position, when he jumps from a distance to block a shot, he looks like he is flying in the air. Ordinary offensive players will definitely be frightened.
But, this person is Nash!
Faced with Westbrook's blockbuster, which made a lot of noise but had no actual effect, Nash simply ignored it.
A swipe!
Three point hit!
8 to 8!
This three-pointer tied the score for the Lakers.
After seeing the score tied by the Lakers, the three TNT commentators and Lakers fans were dumbfounded.
After the game started, the Thunder was definitely the one taking the initiative, with a thunderous and overwhelming momentum.
But after this fight, why did it suddenly end in a tie?
Even Clifford, who was already trembling next to Du Kang, was a little dumbfounded.
With the Thunder overpowering the Lakers on the court, the Lakers could collapse at any time.
How come it was tied in the end?
Clifford looked at Du Kang who was smiling with squinted eyes in surprise. The coach must have expected this.
No wonder he was so calm after the game started!
In fact, the language of the scene at this time was just like this. Both the TV audience and the on-site commentators had the same thoughts when they looked at Du Kang who was calm at this time.
As for Westbrook's style of play, the average audience really can't stand the ups and downs.
And Du Kang can be so calm, it would be strange if you said he didn't have any prejudgment!
"Coach D is not just messing around. He has really studied Russell. The league's defense of Russell must change in the future!"
"Maybe for Russell, the effect of using Nash to defend is the same as using Kobe to defend!"
"Awesome, even Coach D can find this. Those of you who claim to be better in technique and tactics than Coach D, shouldn't be ashamed!"
Popovich was really a little ashamed in front of the TV.
Because his aging Spurs have been humiliated by Westbrook, he plans to use Leonard to defend against the Thunder in the next game!
If Danny Green can't be guarded, then don't we have to use Leonard?
This is actually the way of thinking of a normal person, a professional head coach.
For any normal professional head coach, who would have thought that if Danny Green couldn't be guarded, maybe he could use Parker or Ginobili to guard him, and the effect would be the same?
Maybe even better?
"Whether it's the defense against James or the defense against Westbrook, this kind of unconventional defense method may only be possible by a rookie like Coach D!"
Popovich felt that he could not accept it!
"But... Westbrook doesn't just hold the ball and attack head-on."
Popovich had a smile on his face.
Westbrook's post-ups are definitely not as good as Kobe's.
But, can Nash be able to prevent it?
Nash couldn't even guard Parker's post-ups!
On the TV, Westbrook's offense above was not direct.
Facing Nash, who was fighting and retreating, Westbrook sat directly on Nash without saying a word.
"Let's see how you hide now!"
He was really angry. This old guy Nash actually dared to fight back in front of him just now!
Don’t you know that I hate others shooting three-pointers in front of me?
After being beaten by that little weakling Curry in the last game, he now feels unhappy when his opponent shoots three-pointers.
At this time, Nash behind him seems to overlap with Curry!
Westbrook is a very active person, his skills are not as good as Kobe's, but he is fierce enough!
One push!
Two putts!
Three putts!
