Chapter 270 The Suppressed Thunder Team
The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is: point guard Steve Blake, shooting guard Brandon Roy, small forward Nicolas Batum, power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, center Greg O. ascend.
The Thunder made adjustments to the starting lineup.Carlesimo tried to put Ye Hao at the point guard position and put Tony Allen in the starting lineup to defend Brandon Roy.
In this way, the Thunder's starting lineup became: point guard Ye Hao, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward Durant, power forward Ibaka, and center Varejao.
The appearance of this lineup is Carlesimo's whim after seeing Ye Hao's strong passing ability.
Anyway, in the Thunder team, basketball is often in the hands of Ye Hao, so let Ye Hao take the first position and play to try the effect.
So after the All-Star Game, Carlesimo began to try this lineup and found that the effect was not bad.
After confirming that the Trail Blazers are their first-round opponents, Carlesimo and the members of the coaching staff carefully discussed and felt that this lineup might be good to use against the Trail Blazers.
Ye Hao goes to the No. [-] position. In addition to being able to better display his ability to score and control the team, he does not need to consume too much energy to match Roy, so he can focus more on offense. superior.
Tony Allen mentioned the second position, which allows him to keep a close eye on Roy.
For the same reason, at the power forward position, Aldridge of the Trail Blazers has a very strong offensive ability.
The Thunder need a player with relatively strong defensive ability in this position, who can withstand Aldridge's offensive firepower.
That Ibaka is obviously more suitable than Jeff Green.
And Ibaka also has a good mid-range shot, which can open up space for teammates who break through in the offense.
It's better than going to Jeff Green and facing off against Aldridge, but it's definitely better than attacking.
The two sides jumped the ball, and the Trail Blazers took the lead in attacking.
Blake advances with the ball.
After coming over, he faced Ye Hao who was defending him.
After a few dribbles from the outside, he took off and passed the ball to the left to Roy on the wing.
Tony Allen immediately followed. After Roy dribbled the ball back and forth, he still chose to hand over the basketball to Oden on the inside.
Oden hit Varejao on the back and pushed hard on the back.
Varejao was forced by him to step back.
Obviously, for Oden's huge body, Varejao suffered a disadvantage in terms of strength.
Ibaka moves sideways to assist Varejao.
Before Ibaka double-teamed and helped defend, Oden turned outward flexibly, turned over and shot a jumper.
Oden's big man skills are still good.
The ball was thrown into the net with a swish.
The Trail Blazers scored two points first.
Ye Hao took the ball under the basket and pushed forward with the ball.
He dribbles across half court and faces Blake on the perimeter.
Blake raised his hand, probably wanting to imitate Battier's defense of the Thunder sitting off the court.
But the effect is not much.
Ye Hao swayed, dribbled the ball under his crotch, changed direction, and swayed Blake past him.
He drove the ball in and broke through.
Blake retreated quickly, trying to keep up with Ye Hao.
However, Ye Hao made a sudden stop and shot a fallback jumper.
The mid-range jumper is very stable, and the basketball is hollow into the net.
The Blazers attack and Blake hands the ball to Roy at the top of the arc.
Roy himself came.
Under Tony Allen's tight entanglement, he rose up and made a three-pointer.
In Barkley's words, it's just that this shot feels forced and awkward, but Roy just made it.
This is probably where the super giants are forked. In the playoffs, the ability of the stars is all about the critical moments of the game.
Ye Hao dribbled the ball for halftime, handed it over to Tony Allen who ran out, and made a transition.
He ran to the right flank.
Tony Allen returns the ball to him.
Ye Hao received the ball and put on a standard three-threat pose, facing the basket and facing Blake who was pressing up.
Follow up with the ball and shake it up.
Attracted Blake's center of gravity to move forward.
He then retracted the ball and directly pulled it out.
Take a three-pointer and make it.
Also on a three-pointer.
This shot by Ye Hao will not appear to be forced, his whole movement is very smooth and free,
Chic and elegant.
He didn't know how many times he had practiced this kind of shooting.
countless times.
He is very skilled.
This opening is a scene where the leaders of the two sides confront each other on the court.
But soon, the tandem cooperation between Ye Hao and Durant came out, and Ye Hao assisted Durant in mid-range and long-range shots.
Roy still chose to attack by himself.
He rushed to the basket, but was capped by Ibaka, who pressed the basketball down.
The Thunder seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to take the lead.
However, Roy still led the Trail Blazers to grab points tenaciously. At the end of the first quarter, the Blazers tenaciously caught up with the score.
The Thunder only lead the Trail Blazers by 1 point.
As soon as he returned to the field in the second quarter, Roy made a sharp mid-range jumper, the goal was scored, and the Trail Blazers overtook the score.
"Roy's ability is really strong. He really deserves to be the 'Yellow Mamba'. He plays calmly and has a big heart." Barkley said.
Kenny Smith nodded and said: "So Tony Allen's defensive task is quite difficult. If he can restrain Roy, it will be of great help to the Thunder.
It's just that now, Roy seems a little unstoppable.
Tony - Allen's defense did not let Roy's efficiency be greatly affected.
He still has to work harder. "
Looking back, the Thunder attacked, and Ye Hao handed the ball to Durant on the high post on the right.
Durant holds the ball against Batum.
He turned around and shot a jumper, but it was a shot.
Oden took off the backcourt rebound and quickly passed the ball to Blake, who dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Roy followed quickly from the other side.
Blake slapped the ball across the floor and put it in Roy's path.
Roy dribbled the ball to the basket for a layup.
The Trail Blazers feel a little bit about to widen the point difference.
Ye Hao held the ball on the outside and shot a jump shot. Unfortunately, his shot was also hit hard.
This time, is it really contagious that the feel of shooting a basket is contagious?
Durant and Ye Hao failed to make a move.
Aldridge's mid-range and long-range jumper also succeeded.
In this wave of small offensive shock waves, the Trail Blazers widened the point difference to 9 points.
Carlesimo hastily called a timeout.
In the first game of this playoffs, he doesn't want to lose.
It was the first playoff game in Oklahoma City, the first home game.
A good start is always wanted.
Carlesimo replaced Ibaka with Jeff Green.
The game between the two sides continued.
The Thunder attack.
After Jeff Green came on the court, he wanted to single out Aldridge with the ball.
It's a pity that this ball, his offensive touch was a little cold, and he made a three-point shot.
Looking back, the Trail Blazers Roy and Oden played beautifully.
Roy drove the ball in and Oden cut to the basket from the other side.
Roy attracted the Thunder to double-team the basket, and skillfully gave the basketball to Oden.
Oden received the ball and made a super dunk with both hands.
After he fell, he roared loudly.
Really, like a gorilla.
Angry gorilla.
The point difference was further widened.
"This kind of game start is probably not what the Thunder want to see." Barkley shook his head and said.
Obviously, this is not what he wants to see. As a die-hard fan of Ye Hao, he hopes that the Thunder can win.
Of course, he also hopes to see the game be played more intensely and the score closer.
But the Thunder should not be in a situation where they are always behind and beaten.
"Ye Hao should stand up and help the team reverse the situation." Kenny Smith said.
Barkley nodded and said: "Judging from the situation on the court, it is obvious that the Trail Blazers are more eager to win the game.
Their mental outlook is much better than that of the Thunder.
Is it because the Thunder played well in the regular season and are effectively arrogant in the playoffs? "
Carlesimo called timeout again, hoping to interrupt the Blazers' offensive rhythm.
After returning from the timeout, Carlesimo replaced Varejao and replaced Jordan.
But the Thunder's substitution did not have an immediate effect.
Oden immediately squeezed under Jordan's defense, burst into the basket, turned around and dunked with both hands in front of Jordan and scored two points.
The Trail Blazers opened the point difference to 14 points.
In Huaxia, Wu Chunlan and Su Xue, who were watching the game in front of the computer in their respective dormitories, chatted on QQ while watching the game.
Wu Chunlan: Cher, how do this pioneer team scores? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Su Xue: Be patient, sometimes the game is like this, there are leading and falling behind.The game isn't over yet.
Wu Chunlan: Well, brother Hao can definitely lead the team to win.
Su Xue: Well, I believe his strength is fine.Although the Trail Blazers are also quite strong.
On the court, the Thunder attacked.
Ye Hao received the basketball from Durant on the outside.
He didn't stop, just raised his hand and made a three-pointer.
call out!
Swish!
The basketball was thrown into the net very steadily.
"Ye Hao is here, Ye Hao is about to blow the horn of counterattack!" Director Zhang, who was sitting in the Penguin live broadcast room, said loudly.
"Good shot! Ye Hao's shot is really beautiful!" Yang Yi continued.
The Trail Blazers handed the ball to Roy, who dribbled off Tony Allen.
But this time Tony Allen followed closely and didn't give him room to shoot.
Roy opted for the pass, hitting the ground to Aldridge.
But before Aldridge reached out to receive the ball, the basketball was intercepted by Ye Hao who grabbed it from the side.
Ye Hao sprinted with the ball and went down the court quickly.
Roy and Blake ran after him.
But as Barkley said, "When Ye Hao runs like this, few people can stop his scoring."
Sure enough, Roy and Blake could only look at Ye Hao's layup hand.
After the two catch up, there is only one thing left to do to attack the basket.
Under Ye Hao's consecutive scoring, the Thunder gradually recovered the point difference.
But after the first half, they were still 5 points behind the Trail Blazers.
The game enters halftime.
Ye Hao found the head coach Carlesimo and said that he hoped that he would defend Roy in the second half.
Roy did them a lot of damage in the first half.
Tony Allen's defense in the first half didn't help Roy much.
Carlesimo will naturally not say no to Ye Hao's proposal. If LeBron James is the real head coach and the real general manager of the Cavaliers, then Ye Hao is in such a position in the Thunder. ?
He, Carlesimo, and Michael Brown are not the same as the nanny of the team's number one star?
Back in the second half, Ye Hao personally marked Roy.
He chased closely whether Roy had the ball or not.
His length and wingspan help him a lot on defense.
Tony Allen is only 1 meters tall, and Ye Hao is 93 centimeters taller than Tony Allen.
But his speed is not slower than Tony Allen's.
Coupled with his physical confrontation ability and wingspan defensive coverage, this gives him a natural physical advantage in defensive back players.
The Trail Blazers were attacking, and the basketball was given to Roy, and Ye Hao immediately clung to the defense.
Roy dribbled the ball outward a little, trying to open up a little distance so that he could break through and pass Ye Hao.
But Ye Hao kept up with the first half step, so that this defensive position can not only retreat and follow closely without being passed, but also step forward to prevent Roy's shot.
Roy was so guarded by him that he couldn't find a good way for a while, so he had to hand over the basketball to Aldridge.
Aldridge tries to shoot a [-]-pointer from the perimeter.
Bang!
The basketball hit the edge of the rim and hit the iron.
The basketball bounces out.
Dragic, who was replaced in the second half, grabbed the backcourt rebound, and he dribbled the ball quickly.
Blake was on his heels.
Dragic made an emergency stop at the basket, and waited until Blake, who was catching up with him, jumped first before he made a layup and scored the basketball.
He played this shot very smartly.
Only 3 points left.
However, chasing points is not always smooth sailing, and the score can be caught up immediately.
Blake of the Blazers looked back and scored a three-pointer from the outside.
The point difference was stretched to 6 points.
The two sides began to see-saw back and forth to increase points alternately.
With more than 1 minute left in the third quarter, the Thunder were still 7 points behind their opponents.
The Thunder attacked, and Ye Hao slipped to the left corner.
Dragic quickly passes the basketball over.
Ye Hao caught the ball and dribbled it in.
Followed by an emergency stop.
Roy, who was chasing him, was almost knocked down by his sudden stop.
Ye Hao took off, shot a fadeaway jumper, and scored two points.
Looking back, Aldridge missed a high jumper.
The Thunder have a good chance to close the point difference.
It's a pity that Durant hit the iron again under Batum's defensive interference.
The Trail Blazers' Blake once again turned into an outside shooter and made a three-pointer.
The Trail Blazers widened the point difference to 8 points.
Until the end of the third quarter, the Thunder were still 8 points behind.
They played 3 wins and 1 loss against the Trail Blazers in the regular season, and they have been suppressed by their opponents to play two games.
