Chapter 461 Victory of the Great Lineup
"Chris! They seem to look down on you a little bit, kill them!" An Sheng showed a ambiguous smile at the big white bear who had just played, and now in the inside line of the Clippers, Anthony Davis and Chris Reese Kaman both have very good autonomous offensive capabilities.
Now there is a problem facing the Thunder. Who should Kevin Durant defend against in the next time? This is the biggest question for the Thunder on the defensive end.Originally, Kevin Durant could rely on Jordan's inconvenient offense with the ball to defend him, but now there are two insiders who can attack with the ball here, which makes him a little helpless.
He first tried to defend Chris Kaman. After all, Anthony Davis is also a top power forward. His offensive ability can still be recognized by everyone, so they will definitely not let the defense be easily penetrated. Kevin Durant of the NBA went to guard Anthony Davis.
But it wasn't until Kevin Durant really stood next to Chris Kaman that they really felt how huge the difference in body size between these two players who looked about the same height was. Obviously, Chris Kaman will not live up to the adjective of Great Pyrenees at all, his arms look very thick, compared to Kevin Durant's thin body, it is definitely a bug!
An Sheng received the ball and faced Kevin Martin's defense. This is obviously not a level matchup, but An Sheng did not rush to break through, but luckily looked for opportunities inside.
A direct ground pass put the basketball into the hands of Chris Kaman, who is in a deep position, because the Clippers players are very wide in the entire offensive formation, even Anthony Davis Both have a very good mid-range shot. He can easily keep Serge Ibaka away from the defense of the penalty area, allowing Chris Kaman to play more comfortably.
Without Chris Kaman's defensive assistance, he can easily bully Kevin Durant. In the past few years, Kevin Durant has spent more of his energy on how to improve his scoring ability and In terms of assist ability, all of these are related to offense. The difference is that, apart from the fact that his physical confrontation may have improved compared to the rookie in 07, his defensive ability now is not the same as that at that time. He made no difference at all.
He doesn't have the ability to steal when Chris Kaman drops the ball, nor can he use his lower center of gravity to interfere with post-ups like this heavy inside.So this is embarrassing.This is the difference between him and Anson on the defensive end. In the Western Conference semifinals, Anson's defense against Zach Randolph of the Grizzlies is definitely a textbook for small defense.
And Kevin Durant's current situation is also a textbook, but it's just the opposite. He was directly crushed by Chris Kaman to the basket and then succeeded with an easy hook.
The loss on the defensive end also caused a lot of trouble for Kevin Durant on the offensive end. Facing the Clippers' back-up inside, Kevin Durant had to spend a lot of effort to stop the opponent's advance. The energy consumed on the defensive end is not 01:30.
If it is against Ansheng, it is different. Ansheng will not choose to hit him on the back or something else, because once Ansheng passes by, he never thought that he could chase him back.But now defending the inside has a great impact on his touch.
He singled out Anthony Davis at the top of the arc. Facing Anthony Davis, who has excellent height and wingspan, he didn't have much confidence to break through to the inside to score. Therefore, shooting was the way he had to choose.
The shot after the change of direction at the top of the arc opened up half the body position, this shot is one of his regular attack methods, it is normal for him to use his height to shoot three-pointers, but this time As soon as he shot, he felt something was wrong.
Short, obviously, he felt that his muscles were not working properly!This is a non-stick, he shouted a rebound loudly to the inside!But how could it be possible to grab it? The highest height of their team with a small lineup is themselves who just shot a three-pointer from the outside.The other Serge Ibaka, who was over two meters tall, was completely caught behind Chris Kaman.
Russell Westbrook's drive to the rim and rebounds did not succeed at all!Just inside, An Sheng jumped up and easily took off the rebound!Then a one-man propulsion was performed.
Indeed, the Thunder is playing a small lineup, but few of them can keep up with Anson's speed. The only two people who can keep up are the twin stars of the Thunder, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook .
Kevin Durant returned to the defense very quickly because he shot from the outside at the beginning, while Russell Westbrook also has bug-level speed.Thunder fans all stood up and looked at the figure running like three streamers on the court.Be sure to guard against it!They prayed desperately in their hearts that the ball must be guarded, otherwise the effort of changing to a small lineup at the beginning of the third quarter would be all in vain.
Near the free throw line, An Sheng suddenly made a change of direction after an emergency stop. He suddenly took a step back and directly chose a mid-range shot. The defensive guy is also a guy with extremely abnormal physical fitness. At this time, layup is obviously not a good choice.
The mid-range shot was a steady hit, and all the Thunder fans who stood up were extremely disappointed and sat back holding their heads. At the same time, the Clippers' towel team was also disappointed. Jiaqiu waved his own towel, and now, they saw that it was just a mid-range shot. Although it was equally exciting, they already took back all the towels they just took out with a tacit understanding, and wiped their faces , Wipe your arm, wipe your arm.
However, it was this mid-range shot that completely broke the momentum of the Thunder. In the confrontation between the small lineup and the large lineup, the first to grasp the advantage has the right to speak in rhythm, and in the Clippers, Chris Paul's control of the rhythm is obviously much better than the Thunder on the opposite side.
114:97, in the second half of the different lineups attacking each other, the Clippers still easily and happily took the game away, leading the Thunder 3:1 on the big score!Successfully took away an away victory in Oklahoma.
