The NBA is a bunch of monsters playing, whether it's inside or outside.
With this attack alone, Ibaka showed how rich his capital is.
Li Wan was still holding the ball on the left wing, and Kevin Durant took the initiative to engage in a physical confrontation, forcing Li Wan to engage in a "1v1 men's battle".
Sensing Kevin Durant's intentions, Li Wan immediately faced the frame, dragged his steps towards the top of the arc, and while Durant moved laterally, he made a large change of direction, and his center of gravity suddenly shifted to the left , the ball was also given to his left hand.
The speed is so fast that Kevin Durant has no time to think.
And when he stepped back with his left foot, Li Wan's ball just reached his left hand, his shoulders shook quickly, and there was another big change of direction, still moving towards the top of the arc.
But at this time, Kevin Durant's left foot has shifted to the right.
The two people staggered their positions...
This is!
"OMG!"
"Kevin Durant's two-way breakthrough!"
"Li Wan scored in front of Kevin Durant with a Kevin Durant move!"
The ball blew up the TNT studio, and it also blew up the entire Madison Square Garden.
The auditorium at the scene suddenly burst into loud cheers.
Kevin Durant's provocative words to Li Wan are still in my ears: I think this round of the series will let everyone know who is the best player in the 07 class.
After the game started, Kevin Durant's active provocation on the defensive end was also seen by them.
They have been expecting Li Wan's response...
If it had to be Li Wanyi who made the move, he would know if there was one.
This goal directly made them happy.
Kevin Durant was stunned for a moment. He was very familiar with the "double-direction breakthrough". Li Wan took out this trick and faced him to complete the score. The key was to shake him away directly. It is impossible to be affected.
But compared to the impact Li Wan used this trick on his mentality...
On the sidelines of the audience, Scarlett, who applauded Li Wan, made Kevin Durant's "Tao Xin" impetuous. At this moment, [-] New Yorkers in the audience were shouting crazily, but these mountains and tsunami, falling To Kevin Durant's ears, it was not as harsh as Scarlett's "slapping" to Li Wan.
Thief Li, take your life!
Kevin Durant asked for the ball eagerly, and even ran to the center line to catch it. Westbrook could only throw the ball to him when he saw this.
The first time Durant took the ball, he looked at Li Wan, as if to say:
Come, come, let me show you, what is a real "double-direction breakthrough"!
Li Wan chose to defend closely. Kevin Durant got rid of it several times, but couldn't gain a foothold outside the three-point line, so he simply forced the ball to kill inside.
His long legs showed their effect at this moment.
Even Li Wan, who is 2 meters tall, could not interfere until the end in such a tight situation. When he was about to enter the basket, Kevin Durant broke through Li Wan, held high and hit Tyson head-on. -Chandler drives the ball into the basket.
6-8!
Kevin Durant, who responded successfully, observed Scarlett in the audience with sidelight for the first time. He went up to the two men for the ball. He knew it without watching the replay. He must be very handsome. He wanted to see Scarlett. Carrie looked at his eyes at this moment to see if there was light in his eyes.
result……
Scarlett looked resentful.
Looking angry...
cute pinch~
Kevin Durant has a million points of interest.
As expected of my goddess, the angry appearance is so exciting!
Durant is even more excited!
Tyson Chandler waved his hands in frustration, and muttered, "My hands are completely covered..."
This ball can still be scored!
"Champion of Boxers" didn't understand.
Li Wan didn't expect Kevin Durant to score this goal, because the difficulty is indeed a bit high.
But considering that Kevin Durant averaged 30.6 points, 2.3 assists, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in the finals this season, and his shooting percentage was as high as 54.6%, it is not so surprising.
In the round of the Western Conference Finals with the Spurs, Kevin Durant truly completed his transformation and sharpened his "scythe".
Facing Kevin Durant like this, Li Wan was not sure that he could be single-handedly restricted by himself.
Therefore, in this round of finals against the Thunder, the New York Knicks' victory point is not in the scoring PK between Li Wan and Kevin Durant.
Therefore, in the next round, Li Wan did not continue to respond to Kevin Durant's score, and gave a "smashing" pass to Beverly.
Because Li Wan just hit Kevin Durant in singles with the ball, Westbrook unconsciously moved closer to Li Wan's side...well, even without this heads-up score, Westbrook's position would be like this Outrageous mistake.
His attention when defending without the ball has always been the most criticized part of "Gui", always looking at the "ball" inexplicably.
But you want to say that he has no defensive strength...
When he was in the NCAA, he also won the Defensive Player of the Year Award in the Pacific Ten Conference...
If you let the head coach of UCLA come to see Westbrook's performance on the defensive end, I'm afraid he will immediately expel Westbrook from the UCLA team.At the same time, with an unbelievable expression, he muttered to himself: "How did he become like this!"
Of course, there are gains and losses. Let him see Westbrook's impact on the offensive end, and he will also be horrified: "How did he become like this!"
Beverly made a steady three-pointer.
Li Wan murmured in his heart:
three!
Lewis and Ray Allen scored successively, plus Beverly, the only Knicks player who has not yet scored is Tyson Chandler.
It's not a big deal...
The dunk thing has nothing to do with the feel, as long as the ball is in place, the dunk will come, otherwise no matter how good the feel is, the dunk will still fail.
You say yes, "Golden State LaVine"!
Westbrook then completed the counterattack.
This "one-stop layup" from the backcourt to the frontcourt can be called "holding a kitchen knife, sparks and lightning all the way", and the two words stand out:
Fast!
"The talent of the Thunder!"
D'Antoni watched the ball fall into the frame and couldn't help sighing.
From the beginning to the present, this team has hardly any decent passing cooperation. Every round is a manifestation of the player's personal ability, whether it is Kevin Durant, Westbrook, or Ibaka, Their goals are more or less a bit of a talent leak.
Especially in the New York Knicks, apart from Li Wan's singles accident, compared with the other goals, it seems that the Thunder team is full of talent...
Of course, this is indeed true. Even in terms of talent alone, this Thunder team, even in the 65-year history of the NBA, is the top two, no, it is the first!
There are many talented "youth teams" in the history of the NBA, but like the Thunder, there are "one fire together, three regular season MVPs scattered", only this one, there is no semicolon.
It was also the only one in the future. After all three players entered their true peak period, the fans missed the year even more. If they hadn't separated, what a "youth army" it would have been.
Here, I have to mention the Thunder's management's draft vision again.
You know, the Thunder have not had the "No. [-] pick" in the drafts for the past three years. At the beginning of the selection of these three selections, except for Kevin Durant, the other two were full of doubts...
In the end, the Thunder team's management proved with facts that when it comes to the draft, they are not targeting anyone, and everyone in the league is rubbish!
Moreover, these guys are not only talented, but also durable enough.
The overall state of the New York Knicks improved quickly tonight, but the Thunder still clung to the score. Until the end of the first quarter, they were only 31 to 33, 2 points behind.
Kevin Durant and Westbrook scored 20 points together. In the first quarter, the Thunder only scored 11 points. They were not scored by the two of them. Among them, Kevin Durant scored 11 points, which was the highest score of the two teams. players.
Compared with him, Li Wan "only" scored 8 points.
The scoring momentum is indeed not as good.
But Li Wan sent 4 assists, while Kevin Durant only had 1. In terms of this data, the gap between Kevin Durant and Li Wan is even greater.
In addition to 4 assists, Li Wan also got 3 rebounds and 1 block.
It was neither Kevin Durant nor Westbrook, but Ibaka.
Tyson Chandler was under a lot of pressure in the first quarter. Facing the league's "last meat shield" Perkins and the "physical fitness monster" Ibaka's flanking attack, he often lost sight of the other, and Lewis couldn't give enough help .
Speaking of which, the Thunder's inside advantage this season is indeed strong enough.
Originally, when they faced the Heat in the 12 Finals, they relied on their inside advantage to win the first game of the Finals.
Chris Bosh and Haslem were played dizzy!
Although Tyson Chandler is much tougher than Bosh and Haslem, if you want him to wrestle with Perkins and Ibaka alone, it is really embarrassing for him.
"King of Boxing" needs help!
D'Antoni was a little hesitant, whether he should replace Lewis, he wanted to use the strongest firepower to attack the Thunder.
Although the Thunder used an unreasonable offense to defeat a well-known Spurs.
From the perspective of the "Mustache" champion coach, the New York Knicks are really not afraid of the Thunder if they continue to attack like this.
and so……
No matter how hard it is for Tyson Chandler, the New York Knicks will take the initiative in the attack!
It's just that after James Harden came on the field, he was extremely active and led the team to overtake the score, giving the Thunder a favorable situation.
Then the Thunder Brooks took the lead...
He began to take advantage of Kevin Durant's point, frequently singled out Li Wan, and cut off Li Wan's connection with his teammates on the defensive end, causing Li Wan to fall into a 1v1 with Kevin Durant.
Looking at the arrangement on the opposite side, Kenny Smith immediately reacted: "This is going to consume Li Wan's physical strength!" As a single-core team, the New York Knicks will definitely be chaotic on the offensive end if Li Wan's physical strength has problems. .
But if Li Wan is not used to defend Kevin Durant, the New York Knicks have no one else to replace.
The impact of Artest's suspension is clear...
This made "The Beast" look ugly.
On the sidelines, Kevin Garnett watched Li Wan defend and attack for three consecutive rounds, then glanced at Lewis and Tyson Chandler, shook his head slightly, and murmured in his heart:
Get high, you two!
In his opinion, the opponent is so obviously forcing Li Wan to play singles. As an inside player, he has to learn to step forward to share the pressure at this time.
Can't hold the ball in a high position?
Isn't this the basic skill of insiders?
Dig!
One second he was complaining about the "Wolf King" who reacted like wood to Lewis and Tyson Chandler, and the next second he screamed and shot because Li Wan forced Kevin Durant into a mid-range shot The jumper, but also caused the latter's foul.
Too hard!
Li Wan is really too hard!
Just looking at it like this, Kevin Garnett is already a little wet... The palms are full of sweat!
Scarlett also made a strange cry, that is, she needs to pay attention to her image on the sidelines, but if she is at home at the moment, her hands are probably already in her crotch.
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
Li Wanwen, who walked to the free throw line, made a steady hit and added a penalty.
With this goal scored, the New York Knicks successfully contrasted the score.
Brooks was not in a hurry, and clapped his hands to let everyone continue to focus on the game.So far, he is very satisfied with the tactical execution of the Thunder team.
Li Wan has been very aggressive during this time, and with this goal, he has already scored 7 points in the second quarter.
but……
Look at the sweat on his cheeks!
In terms of ability, there are many players with both offense and defense, but there are very few players who can truly play "offense and defense" on the court.
Otherwise, in the history of the NBA, there would not be so few players who have won both the "Regular Season MVP" and the "Best Defensive Player Award".It is even rarer to win both awards in the same year.
For normal superstars, their physical fitness can only guarantee that they will do their best at one end!
Li Wan...
It's not a well-known "physical monster"!
So at this moment, D'Antoni's expression was not very good. He finally made up his mind and immediately put Rasheed Wallace on the court after Li Wan made a free throw.
Seeing Rasheed Wallace play, Kevin Garnett's eyes lit up "swish".
Kevin Durant immediately returned to the field, facing Li Wan, the signature "double change breakthrough" completed the score, and the two sides tied the score.
It was the Knicks' turn to attack again.
Rasheed Wallace's first possession proved that there was something in him that Lewis couldn't replace...
He quickly moved to the high position on the right, and the moment Li Wan broke through, he quickly stepped forward and set a pick and roll for Li Wan.
Lewis' pick-and-roll ability was blown out instantly...
Showings are just beginning!
The Thunder were determined to block Li Wan.
Li Wan bypassed the pick-and-roll, and Sefoloza immediately appeared on the opposite side. At the same time, the Thunder team tightened up the inside line. Although he knew that Tyson Chandler was open at the basket, he had no angle at all to send the ball to the latter's " mouth".
He simply threw the ball behind him.
Rasheed Wallace made a shot fake the first time he got the ball, tricking Ibaka back and forth, and he threw the ball towards the basket.
In this way, there is only one Perkins left in the Thunder's basket.
Seeing the ball flying to the basket, he desperately wanted to jump up, but with his tonnage, even if he jumped desperately, it was only as high as a can.
He tried his best to reach his arms, but he could only watch Li Wan jumping high under the strong light, grabbing the ball with both hands, and then slamming it into the basket.
"Bah!"
The explosion sounded above his head, and the ball went through the basket, almost giving him a "head blown".
There was a burst of loud cheers from the auditorium.
Kevin Garnett couldn't hold back, stood up directly, and almost ran towards the center of the court, but fortunately the referee stopped him.The embarrassed "Wolf King" waved his hand, sorry, sorry, too excited, didn't pay attention...
You know, I, Kevin Garnett, have always been a hot-blooded good boy!
Just when he was backing away, Kevin Garnett made another own goal. He actually sat on the bench of the New York Knicks by a strange coincidence.
D'Antoni and Mike Brown just watched, dumbfounded.
Kevin Garnett, who reacted, could only continue to be embarrassed.
What!
too excited!
"Wolf King" thought he had joined the New York Knicks...
Ok……
Yes!
As the contract expires this summer and the Nets come to an end, Kevin Garnett gradually has the idea of joining the New York Knicks.
And as the Knicks made their way through the playoffs, that idea intensified.
These days, for this idea of Xia Tian, he has been very busy. First, he sent text messages to interact with Ray Allen and took the initiative to break the ice.Then I was excited to win the regular season MVP award for Li Wan on Twitter. In short, I worked hard to let myself have more connections with this Knicks.
In this way, he can say that sentence logically in Xia Tian:
You know, Li and Lei and I have always been good brothers!
As the New York Knicks defeated the Heat and reached the finals again, he couldn't help it anymore, and ran to the home court of the New York Knicks more actively to brush up his presence.
at the same time……
I also want to see, if I join this defending champion, what can I bring to this team!
He is a man of integrity!
If his joining cannot bring the team what they lack, then he will definitely not...
It costs so much money!
Of course, if it is determined that he can bring to this team that no one else can replace, he will also take his share of the money with peace of mind.The most important thing is that if you really want to join with a basic salary, it sounds like you have the same meaning as coming to hug your thigh.
His "Wolf King" is a man of integrity, although he never thought that at this age he can win both the championship and the championship MVP.
But with a higher salary, he can at least be regarded as a "main member of the championship team". Speaking out, he, Li Wan and Lei are still good brothers... It's not so embarrassing!
And, just now!
The cooperation between Rasheed Wallace and Li Wan allowed him to see what the team lacked, and at the same time, what he could bring to the team.
He can do everything that Rasheed Wallace did in this round, and he can guarantee that he can do better than Rasheed Wallace!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited...
The last game I played as "Wolf King" was "Brothers Basketball" after all!
The point difference returned to 8 point again.
In the Thunder's offensive round, Beverly, under the signal of Mike Brown, took the initiative to confront Westbrook, forcing him to speed up the offensive rhythm.
"Westbrook" understands everything about his temper.
It always explodes at one point!
The legendary "reasonable Westbrook" is a "monster" capable of playing the "LeBron system", but it has never appeared on the court and has always been a legend.
What's more, the person who ignites this "dynamite barrel" on the court is still Beverly, who has been at odds with Westbrook.
Can Westbrook take this?
He had just entered the "sewer" to rebuild his "body".
Immediately stepping on the "Hot Wheels" and heading towards the basket of the New York Knicks, Rasheed Wallace once again showed his ability that Lewis could not replace:
Defense ability!
It's not that Lewis is not active in making up defenses, but his figure, even if he makes up defenses in time, with Westbrook's impact, [-]% of the results will be reduced to "background boards".
Wallace is different. With his rich experience, he successfully stopped Westbrook.
"Zombie Jumper" missed!
After rushing to the basket n times, Westbrook's touch has long been unstable. ——This is also one of the reasons why his "zombie jumper" is not efficient.Attacking the frame too much, and also likes to dunk, after all, it affects the opponent's feel.
Perkins repeated the same trick, blocking Tyson Chandler from letting him jump, but this time Ibaka was not against Lewis, but the experienced Wallace.
Ibaka himself is not a "rebound geek". The season with the highest average rebounds per game was only 8.8, and this season it is only 7.5.
Although he has a strong physical fitness, he does not have a keen sense of "rebounding".
As far as there are so many examples in the league, "rebound sense" has a higher priority than physical fitness. For example, Kevin Love, with his mediocre physical fitness, has been able to win so many "rebound champions". The trick is to "swipe the board", no, it depends on the keen "sense of rebounding".
"Snapped!"
Rasheed Wallace relied on his rich experience to prevent Ibaka from being tough, and Li Wan took the opportunity to protect the rebound.
The New York Knicks quickly launched a counterattack.
Wallace is still moving toward the high post.
Facts have proved that when there is a supporting point on the court, it is a big improvement for a ball holder like Li Wan.
This round defended Li Wan was Sefrosa. From the second quarter, he and Kevin Durant took turns defending Li Wan.This is also to ensure that Kevin Durant's physical fitness is not affected.
If Kevin Durant and Li Wan were both offensive and defensive throughout the whole process, Brooks' tactics of consuming Li Wan would be meaningless, because... Physical fitness is also a flaw for Kevin Durant.
Sefolosha kept checking Rasheed Wallace's position out of the corner of his eye.
If this guy blocks it, Sefolosha must switch to Ray Allen immediately.
Li Wan saw all this in his eyes, his body froze suddenly, and then he used "Sam Gold" to make a big change of direction to mislead Sefoloza and swayed him aside.
Seeing Li Wan flying towards him like a hydrogen bomb, Ibaka thought about how hard it was for him to have a "medical insurance card", and Perkins thought about his tortoise-like speed, and finally chose to remain silent.
Silence is the Thunder's "Twin Towers" tonight.
Seeing that neither of them dared to come forward, Li Wan immediately reacted:
It's time to live, let's play!
A "crotch change hand dunk" directly blows up the audience.
Brooks had no choice but to call a timeout.
Li Wan clapped hands one by one, and finally passed by the excited Taylor, seeing her eager to try, he also extended his hand to pat with a smile.Seeing this scene, Scarlett was silent again, and "Xiao Shuai" was heartbroken again.
Do not……
Li Wan, who suddenly went berserk 11 times in a row, and Scarlett's lonely eyes made him feel even more painful.
Pain, pain, pain!
"Let's speed it up a little later!"
D'Antoni didn't take out the tactical board, he just emphasized the offensive and defensive rhythm of the New York Knicks, and he didn't think it was fast enough.
Li Wan nodded.
He agrees with what "Mustache" said.
To play against the Thunder, you have to increase your speed.
Because the original Thunder team won the first game against the Heat in the finals by relying on the inside, but then immediately lost 4 games in a row, the reason...
It is because the Heat changed their formation and increased the offensive and defensive speed.
They are "broken pots and broken pots". ——In addition to this set of changes, Spoelstra has no other options. The Heat during the "Big Three" period were really famous, but apart from LeBron James, Wade and Chris- Apart from Bosh, there are really not many other people who can stand up and help. Spoelstra has only seven or eight people who are available!
Some head coaches only have seven or eight people in the regular season rotation. It is his coaching style, just like the original D'Antoni, who likes the small-scale rotation of eight or nine people.
But that was originally. After meeting Li Wan, under Li Wan's subtle influence, D'Antoni's regular lineup had around ten to eleven players.
If it weren't for Vince Carter who has been plagued by injuries this season and has been "on and off", his regular rotation number can reach 12 people.
Spoelstra is more pitiful, he is only available to such seven or eight people...
But what he didn't expect was that when the Thunder coach Brooks saw that he had completely given up defending the basket and switched to the fast-paced "small lineup", he immediately waved his hand, "If you want to be fast, I will be fast!"
They actually played a fast pace together.
Perkins' defensive role in this lineup is not reflected at all. LeBron James and Wade's breakthrough ability has been released.
The inside has an advantage, this guy dared to give up, now the inside has no advantage, you say the New York Knicks will pull up the speed, Brooks will not dare to fight?
I'm afraid that not only will he not be vague in his heart, but he will secretly curse at D'Antoni:
Little fool!
Do you know how the Spurs lost?
I don’t know, I’ll let you see and see!What, what the hell is it called "Youth Storm"!
The game restarted. After seeing the New York Knicks pull up the speed, Brooks did not hesitate at all and let the Thunder speed up.
Li Wan's appearance of fighting in and out is very fierce.
But I have generals Kevin and Russell, who am I afraid of?
The speed on both sides is getting faster and faster, how fast is it...
Let's put it this way, the viewers in front of the TV are afraid to go to the bathroom. In just a short time of peeing, five or six rounds of confrontation may be over.
I have to admit that the "Youth Storm" of the Thunder this season is indeed fierce enough.
In the fast-paced confrontation, their talents were once again fully displayed.
just slapping...
Brooks felt that something was wrong...
Although the offensive and defensive rhythm of the New York Knicks is fast, it is fast and not chaotic.
Although the Thunder team kept up with the fast pace, the situation became more and more chaotic...
But at this time, it was too late for Brooks to realize that something was wrong, because no matter how much he signaled Westbrook to slow down and stabilize, "Westbrook" only had the basket in his eyes. , as if you didn't see it.
Instead, Beverly on the opposite side simply made a provocative gesture or gave a provocative look, and Westbrook rushed towards the basket with all his strength, as if he had seen a red clothed bull.
The New York Knicks have become more and more proficient at intercepting him.
This round, it was successfully forced to stop again.
Westbrook also seemed to have found a way to deal with it. When the opposite inside line shrank back to the basket, he immediately turned around and threw the ball off the court.
As a result, Li Wan's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he broke the ball steadily.
After advancing, another successful defensive counterattack was completed.
The goal was scored, and the point difference has reached 12 points without knowing it.
And at this moment, it was only 5 minutes and 46 seconds into the third quarter...
"The Thunder didn't have to play at all!" Kenny Smith watched the Thunder fall into the rhythm of the Knicks. Looking back on the whole game, he felt that the Thunder didn't make any fatal mistakes.
In the ESPN studio, Bill Walton also said: "From the very beginning, the Thunder team scored goals based on their individual ability. The endless potential of the team..."
But at this moment, the pace is picking up, and the problem of the Thunder's lack of a tactical system has been completely exposed. ——Formation rotation, rough offense, out-of-control rhythm... These are all problems caused by the Thunder's attacking talent!
Another question...
"Russell Westbrook!" Bill Walton pointed out the biggest problem with the Thunder's chaotic rhythm during this period. "Compared to Kevin Durant, Russell has gradually matured, but he has not yet To get to that level...it makes him extremely inconsistent and inexperienced!"
It has to be said that this old commentator is very experienced.
If Li Wan heard Bill Wharton's analysis, he would definitely give a thumbs up and say: "This is the end of the story"!
The original Thunder team lost to the fast pace of the Heat. In the final analysis, Westbrook, who controlled the ball, was in an unstable state. He could shoot 32 of 20 in the fourth game of the series, shooting 62.5%, 43 7 rebounds and 5 assists; also in the fifth game of the series, 5 of 20 shots, 4% shooting, 20 points, 19 rebounds and 4 assists...
From one pole to another, Westbrook only needs a day.
Such instability, as Li Wan deliberately accelerated the tempo, coupled with Beverly's provocation, was magnified to the point of obviousness.
This is also what Li Wan said... The New York Knicks want to win this round of the finals, the key point is not the scoring matchup between him and Kevin Durant...
If you want to win the Thunder, the tactical flaws of Westbrook and the Thunder are bigger loopholes, and loopholes that are easier to defeat.
To say that Brooks is indeed a talent.
After this timeout, the Thunder continued to adhere to the "talent flow" style of play.
The only change made was to replace Sefolosha with James Harden.
Obviously, in his opinion, the "talent flow" style of play is fine, but the problem is that there are not enough "talent points"...
Now that he has put all the "Thunder Four Young Masters" on the field, he wants to see if this is enough or not!
James Harden played very well in the first half of this game. He made 6 of 3 shots and 2 free throws. He scored a total of 8 points and sent 2 assists.
It takes 10 minutes to get this data, which is very efficient...
But at that time, he was facing the New York Knicks bench lineup, and he could control the ball a lot, and play as he wanted, but right now, he is more of a spot-up shooter, and the opportunity to handle the ball by himself is not A lot, the sense of presence after playing is far worse than when leading the team alone in the first half.
The most fundamental problem is still unresolved. Under the leadership of Li Wan, the New York Knicks are playing more and more, and continue to go crazy. However, under the leadership of Westbrook, the Thunder are becoming more and more passive and gradually going crazy...
At the end of the game, the New York Knicks beat the Thunder 110 to 90 and 20 points at their home court and got off to a good start!
