Chapter 851 Take away the game
In this league, many teams have unique tactics. It is not that other teams are unwilling to learn and imitate, but that many times, other teams do not possess some of these characteristics.
Just like the Warriors' "elevator door" tactic, this is not too complicated a tactic, and everyone can understand it at a glance.But there are very few teams that can perfectly replicate it and play the effect in the game.It's not that the players have poor tactical execution ability, but that they lack players like Curry and Thompson.In addition to the Warriors, the Thunder are also beneficiaries of this tactic. An Luo and Paul George play the same roles in this tactic as the Splash Brothers.
But now, after Paul George left, the Thunder is not particularly efficient when implementing such tactics.Gallinari's technical characteristics are actually very suitable for the Thunder's lineup, but judging from the situation in the past few games since the start of the game, he is still adapting and his state is not particularly good.Just like this offense, after two involvements by Westbrook and Anlo, the opportunity left for Gallinari to make a shot was quite perfect, but he didn't make the shot into the basket.
The rebound was grabbed by Rui Hachimura, and the Wizards began to launch a counterattack.
After Bill received the basketball passed by Rui Hachimura, he circled the ball around his waist, grabbed Robertson's steal, and galloped all the way to the penalty area.The defensive counterattack is a sudden attack, taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold and not yet establishing a perfect line of defense to complete the score.Bill's speed is fast, but An Luo's reaction is not slow, and he appears at the defensive position where he should appear at the three-point line.This is due to Robertson's obstruction. Although he did not completely limit Bill's counterattack, he still prevented the opponent's fast break.
An Luo was always stuck on Bill's left side, quietly putting pressure on Bill as he walked.Both Adams and Robertson headed straight for the penalty area.In the first half, the Wizards scored a high percentage of their points at the rim, so Donovan specifically emphasized defense inside the free throw line.
When someone came to the right elbow, Bill suddenly slammed on the brakes.Although An Luo's reaction was quick, under the influence of inertia, he still took a step forward.
It was this step that was seized by Bill.
Although An Luo reposted to Bill as quickly as possible, the latter was obviously ready.Bill only stopped for a short time. When An Luo rushed out, he immediately took a big step towards the left rear side, then exerted strength with his legs and shot a jumper.
"Shh!"
The ball went in!This is Bill's first goal in the second half, and also the first goal he has scored against An Luo's defense so far in this game. The 2 points didn't have a big impact on the game, but Bill started to speak on the offensive end, which is a very unusual thing.
Looking at Bill punching the fans, An Luo grinned. He was not surprised by the opponent's score, but was surprised by the opponent's ankle.He saw with his own eyes that the opponent's ankle was bent at a right angle, but there was nothing wrong with it.Such physical toughness is really enviable!Anyway, An Luo felt that he couldn't do it.
In the next 2 minutes, the Wizards began to bombard the Thunder.
The three guys, Bill, Beilstein, and Hachimura, seemed to be in a shooting competition. Each of them scored a three-pointer and instantly opened up the point difference.If it weren't for Westbrook scoring two two-pointers during this period, the point difference would have reached double digits.
Seeing that the Wizards were about to play a big rhythm, Donovan quickly called a timeout.It is not necessary to make too many adjustments, but at this time, it is necessary to interrupt the opponent's rhythm.
"We must use a stronger offense to deal with the next game!"
Donovan stopped emphasizing defense.In fact, the Thunder's defense is good enough, but they can't hold back the Wizards players' overwhelming touch, no matter how they shoot!At this time, you need to increase your offense to the highest level, first bite the score, and then look for the opponent's loopholes and find a way to win the game.
"Ann, you have to be more active!"
When the timeout ended and the players began to return to the field, Donovan patted An Luo on the shoulder and said softly.
An Luo shrugged his shoulders. He knew that from now on, he wouldn't be able to get along!For fans of Donovan and Chesapeake Energy Arena, the victory in this game is still very important.After all, the season has just begun, and a good start is very important.
As everyone expected, An Luo quickly entered his offensive state.
As soon as he came up, he found an opportunity in the left corner by running without the ball. After receiving a pass from Westbrook, he directly pulled up and threw the ball, scoring a 3-pointer cleanly.Then, Bill slid the baseline and scored a goal with a difficult pull-bar layup to respond.But before he could feel complacent, An Luo had already made a chasing three-pointer.
When the game reached the second half of the third quarter, the situation that everyone was looking forward to seeing finally appeared.An Luo and Bill met up!Between you and me, the situation of the game began to return to an evenly matched situation.
It wasn't until halfway through the next quarter that the situation of the game began to become clear.
An Luo has entered the state of "scoring king". Whether it is three-pointers, mid-range, or even strong shots at the basket, he has performed very well.Especially when An Luo started to take the initiative to attack, the Thunder's tactics also began to accelerate.On the Wizards' side, Bill's personal ability was also brought into full play, but he still lost to the Thunder's defense.
Entering the last quarter of the game, the Thunder's defense began to improve.Especially for the defense of Bill and Thomas Bryant, Donovan invested quite a lot of strength.These two guys are the Wizards' best players. As long as these two points are limited, it will be difficult for the Wizards to resist the Thunder.
The actual situation is similar.Faced with the Thunder's sudden change, the Wizards are very uncomfortable.Although they quickly made corresponding adjustments, they were the passive side after all. Facing the Thunder that had the upper hand, they were quickly defeated.
After An Luo and Westbrook teamed up for a wave of 7:0, the Thunder extended their lead to 20 points.At this time, there were only 5 minutes left in the game.The Wizards launched the last wave of counterattacks, but they were not able to achieve too obvious results.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Wizards 118:101 at home. While gaining three consecutive victories, they also gave the opponent their first losing streak in the new season.
