"Whoa!"

Durant's first shot was also a solid hit.

The first attack of both sides was completed by the core of the team, and both scored.

Preseason games basically don't play the whole game, but they usually play half the game, and I watched some in this half.

Deron advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, the same tactic, but this time Sefolosha grabbed Lin Ying's side in advance and restricted Lin Ying from receiving the ball.

Sefolosha's offense basically only consists of fast breaks and three-pointers, and the three-pointers are not very stable. He can gain a foothold in a strong team like the Thunder by relying on defense, elite-level defense.

His contribution to the Thunder's defensive counterattack tactics is second only to Perkins.

His defensive characteristics are what he showed in this round. He is very keen on the offensive team's passing choices and can limit the opponent's arrows to the greatest extent.

Deron did not force it, but continued to play the UCLA pick-and-roll.

Of course, pick-and-roll tactics rather than pick-and-rolls are also reflected in this round.

Same tactics, different launching sequence.

This time, Johnson first used Chandler's pick-and-roll to run from the baseline to contain the defense, and then Yi Jianlian moved to the high post to play a pick-and-roll for Deron.

The difference is that the quality of the pick-and-roll provided by Chandler is high enough, and Perkins has to follow Johnson to move to the right.

Then Deron met Ibaka out of position and went directly to the basket.

Westbrook knew that Yi Jianlian had the shooting range and did not attack Deron. Deron challenged Ibaka one-on-one.

In the past, or even last season, Deron would have hesitated when faced with this situation.

Because Ibaka's defense is very good, he needs to consider whether passing the ball would be more appropriate.

But this time, he didn't even use his throw, but... flew up and tried to dunk Ibaka!

"Bang!"

The ball flew away.

If he could dunk it, he wouldn't be Deron, but Malone!

However, Ibaka didn't seem to expect that Deron would dare to try to dunk him. His blocking movement was too slow and directly blocked Deron's hand.

The referee's whistle blew and Deron got two free throw opportunities.

Although he didn't score a goal, the fans who chose to watch were excited.

It's Ibaka opposite!

Lin Ying didn't expect it, but he could understand that Delong wanted to prove himself again in front of Sloan!

"The season is long, so stay tight so you don't get hurt."

Deron made a free throw, and Lin Ying gave him a timely reminder when he went over to give him a high five.

He doesn't want history to repeat itself. If Deron is injured like in history, the Nets' championship dream will be unsuccessful.

Deron made both free throws, and the Nets' second wave of pick-and-roll tactics was considered successful.

Looking back, Westbrook took advantage of Ibaka's pick-and-roll to rush towards the basket.

But there was his Dream Team teammate Chandler under the basket, and his iconic full-moon scimitar dunk also missed.

The difference is that this time the referee did not blow the whistle, and Chandler steadily collected the defensive rebound.

Just as American fans hotly discussed after the Olympics, although the Dream Team lost, the performance of Kobe and Chandler deserves recognition.

Standing under the basket is a defensive gate.

However, the Thunder retreated very quickly, and the Nets' fast break was unable to play and they moved into position.

Moreover, the Thunder rely on defense, and their defensive response is indeed fast enough.

Deron repeated his old trick and drove to the basket. Ibaka's defense was in place this time. Deron had no chance at close range and could only dribble to the left sideline.

However, the variability of pick-and-roll tactics is once again reflected.

Just when the Thunder thought Deron was going to move back to the top of the arc to reorganize, Lin Ying took the pick-and-roll from Yi Jianlian's right elbow and moved to the free throw line.

Deron looked back and handed the ball to Lin Ying. Lin Ying caught the ball and saw that Perkins didn't come back and rushed to the basket without slowing down.

The gate is now open for you!

"Bang!"

Under the attention of 18,000 Chinese fans, Lin Ying performed a violent penetration on the spot!

This is the instant sense of déjà vu when Malone cuts inside!

"Don't tell me, the Nets are already like the Jazz."

Over at the commentary box, Su Qun said happily after seeing this scene.

"This ball is played very reasonably. You can see that it ends easily every time."

Zhang Weiping on the side also laughed and echoed.

The biggest feature of the pick-and-roll tactics is that it is simple and efficient. Although this is Sloan's first game coaching the Nets, the Nets seem to have already mastered it.

Thunder coach Brooks was holding his chin in his hands and frowning.

If the Thunder can't defend against the Nets' attack, they won't be able to counterattack defensively, and they will be very passive if they keep playing in position.

But it was at this time that the Thunder played an offense that was "eye-catching".

That was Durant running without the ball.

The moment he caught the ball, he attracted a double attack, and then hit the ground and passed the ball straight to Ibaka after the pick-and-roll.

This ball is so beautiful, Ibaka immediately took off and dunked with both hands after receiving the ball!

I really thought Durant didn’t play in the Olympics in the summer and just showed off his affection with Scarlett!

If you are a fan who has followed the Texas Twins since the Naa era, you will definitely know that is not the case. Durant is a complete training fanatic!

This round just now also showed the results of his summer training.

He developed the organization!

Last season, Durant was the scoring champion, and he won it with super high efficiency.

In terms of offense alone, he is already the strongest player in the league.

But his organization is still lacking in comparison.

The most intuitive data shows that in his five-year career, he only averaged 3 assists per game in one season, which was 3.5 last season.

This is melonization!

But it's obvious that Durant is not Anthony, and he realizes this.

In addition, the team traded away Harden in the summer, which further encouraged him to develop his organizational skills.

Facts have proved that his talent is really good.

He is tall to begin with, but once he gets good at this skill, although he is still slightly inferior to Lin Ying, he is still a good hand!

You can even understand that he has officially evolved into an MVP!

No wonder he was so confident when eating in the revolving restaurant.

All self-confidence comes from one's own strength.

Moreover, the Nets used pick-and-roll tactics in the frontcourt again, but this time they were really restricted by the Thunder.

Johnson's shot missed, and Ibaka leaped high to grab the defensive rebound and passed it to Westbrook.

Westbrook blew directly to the frontcourt like the wind.

At this speed, there are rockets inside the shoes!

In fact, due to rules, super breakthrough players like Iverson, Rose, and Westbrook are destined to perform worse in the international arena than in the NBA.

But in the NBA, they are top-notch players.

Especially Westbrook before he was injured, that was the real Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

"Bang!"

Amid the exclamations of the fans, Westbrook finally stretched his body into a full-moon scimitar, passed by the jumping Johnson in the air, and slammed the ball into the basket.

And after the dunk landed, Westbrook's veins popped out and he roared like crazy.

The place was in a state of excitement!

This ornamental explosion makes people’s blood rush!

So you can understand why Stern thinks it would be good for the Thunder and Nets to play in the Finals.
Chapter completed!
