After 7-4, the Thunder's attack.

Although Xiao Du really wanted to hit Li Ke again, Rondo tried to break through and broke out, and took advantage of this opening and went straight to the basket.

Passing or something is impossible.

Xiao Du could only watch Rondo reach the basket and raise his hand to make a layup, but then he was slapped by Kenyon and Martin, who was guarding the frame, without hesitation.

A beep!

The referee's whistle was timely, but the problem was that this was Rondo's whistle!

The moment the whistle sounded, Xiao Du spread his hands. Just that, it would be better to give him the ball and take a gamble against Li Ke's defense.

Scott Brooks on the sidelines also shook his head. The reason why his teammates and coaches were not optimistic is that Rondo's free throws were too eye-catching.

Kenyon Martin obviously knows this too. His foul is worthless, so if he gives it, he will give it. If he can score less points, it will be success.

Sure enough, Rondo climbed to the free throw line and lost the first ball with a clang amid the booing sounds everywhere.

"La Garondo's free throws were comparable to those of Sheldon."

The first thing that came to mind when Kenny Smith shook his head was Li Ke's free throw.

But Barkley believes:

"If it's really better than free throws, it's better for La Garondo. After all, Sheldon's key free throws were still very accurate, and he just didn't get the free throw."

On the court, Rondo took a deep breath and slowly sent it out.

Bang!

The basketball hit the edge of the basket, but after rebounding, it entered the basket with a squeak.

call!

Rondo breathed a sigh of relief, commentator seat, Kenny Smith also announced: "One of two free throws, Kenyon Martin's foul directly made the Thunder lose one point, and it's already profitable."

Under the basket, Li Ke and Old Martin hit the ball. He wanted to say, "I've made a profit?"

Turning around, he took the kickoff from the backcourt from Old Martin and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.

The ball is not controlled by Curry, and this is the most obvious meaning.

singles!

I still have to play singles!

Looking at Thunder’s response, Saboseforosar still pushed it out.

At the top of the arc, Li Ke stopped the ball. When Kenyon Martin landed, he took a quick step and directly started his single attack.

He doesn't need any pick-and-roll for this ball, and the help of cover is mainly unnecessary.

He only needed a back to press Sephorosa into his way.

When he reached about one step inside the three-point line, he suddenly turned around and Seforosa turned around, but his speed was not as fast as Li Ke, so he could only turn around and eat dust.

Thunder's assisting defense is very fast, but the same thing is said, as long as there is no attack, Li Ke's breakthrough is possible.

Daluo came forward to assist in defense. Li Ke, who was sprinting quickly, suddenly stopped, switched the ball to his left hand, and suddenly made a pass to one side, and deceived Seforosa behind him angrily.

Li Ke's breakthrough has become one-on-one again.

One-on-one between small and big, Li Ke quickly bypassed Daluo and finally faced the basket.

At the end of the basket, Li Ke jumped up and clanged!

Amid the cheers of Time Warner Center, Li Ke once again abused the frame.

9 to 5, the Bobcats expanded their leading edge.

"The Thunder can't defend against Sheldon's singles at all. This will be a hidden danger in this game..."

Although Li Ke only fought twice, Kenny Smith still keenly discovered the problem.

Neither Rondo nor Saboseforosa could withstand Li Ke's singles.

If Li Ke before the breakthrough was developed, Rondo or Saboseforossa cooperated with Daluo or Xiao Du's assisting defense, there would still be a chance to withstand Li Ke's impact.

But now, facing Li Ke who is like an offensive kaleidoscope, the defense of regular assisted defense and assisted single defense is useless.

Unless the Thunder uses multiple attacks to defend against each other and completely block Li Ke.

Before this, many of the Bobcats did suffer from this.

But this game is different. If the Thunder really attacks Li Ke, Curry will stand up and kill people.

From this point, it is enough to show Li Ke's foresight. He gave the ball to Curry at the beginning and raised a fat shooter.

Now, as soon as Li Ke's singles were opened, Scott Brooks was afraid of Curry's long shot and did not dare to gather heavy troops to defend Li Ke. The Thunder's defense was a bit missed.

With the Thunder's offense, Rondo continued to control the ball, and a strong breakthrough in the middle was approaching the basket.

The Bobcats' defensive response was that Curry had not lost his position, but he actually had no auxiliary defense protection.

Rondo fought Curry all the way to the basket.

At the end of the basket, Rondo chose to avoid the defense to make a layup, but Jordan, who was still leaping up high, used a very terrifying space-stagnation to nail Rondo's layup.

"Dandre Jordan, he guards the Bobcats' penalty area!"

Jordan's big hat is very morale, and Time Warner Center is almost full of excitement.

But what's more important about this ball is that the Thunder's offense is about to end.

If the Bobcats played Rondo's weaknesses in the 2008 playoffs, which made the entire league know about Rondo's problems.

Rondo, who averaged nearly triple-double per game this season, has already played his strengths and avoided his weaknesses and proved himself.

So now, what the Bobcats prove is that they still know Rondo the team that best.

Yes, Rondo's breakthrough is very sharp, Yes, Rondo's pass is also very penetrating, but so what? As long as Rondo doesn't shoot from the outside and stands at the free throw line and doesn't have a free throw, he is the one that is easy to target.

On the offensive end, Li Ke continued to play singles.

As analyzed in the previous article, Thunder cannot defend against Li Ke's singles.

Although Scott Brooks did not want to invest heavily on Li Ke's side, as Li Ke scored consecutively, without Scott Brooks adjusting, the Thunder involuntarily leaned towards Li Ke's side.

Li Ke’s pass is still bad, but the same thing is said, just pass it inside and out, just have hands!

Whenever Li Ke broke through to the middle distance and encountered a pincer attack, he immediately jumped up and passed the ball, and he could always find Curry on the outside.

After laying a good foundation at the beginning, Curry is no longer the one who is restrained. He can only control the ball and shoot three-pointers in half and shoot three-pointers. Every time he receives the ball, he always makes the most correct choice.

Either take action directly, or make a time difference, suddenly break through and insert it...

In short, in the first quarter, the Bobcats first opened a hole with the cooperation between Curry and the pick-and-roll.

Then he relied on Li Ke's singles to tear the hole apart.

Finally, relying on Li Kejia and Curry's one-side restraint, he maintained his suppression of Thunder.

Of course, the more important thing is defense.

Unlike the preseason, Du Xiao performed well against Li Ke. He shot hard with defense and had always made a move with the advantage of height and arm length.

But the problem is that Rondo is a little sticky, and Xiao Du has very few chances to catch the ball and play singles.

Rondo, who was holding the ball, was a little crushed to death by the targeted defense of the Bobcats.
Chapter completed!
