Chapter 937 [I really dare to vote, I really don't enter! 】
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and saw the opportunity and passed it to Dai Quinn Cook who was running.
The third-grade Wei Shao is an aspiring young man who does not play backcourt rebounds and does not stick to the ball. As long as he is not very smart, he can play according to the coach's arrangements most of the time.
Dai Quinn, who is 196cm tall and weighs 95kg, has good physical fitness and is very fast. He can fight against most swingers. He also has a 76cm jump in place when he is on the side of his body. His offensive ability is average, and his main scoring method is jump shots. His three-point shooting percentage is as high as 42% this season.
It is precisely because of his ability to shoot three-pointers that Dai Quinn squeezed DeRozan, who is of top physical fitness, to the bench, and the Thunder's starting lineup can open up the space.
Dai Quinn did not go out directly to the phone, and drove a step to pass it to Durant on the right side at close range. The two formed a weak side, and three teammates on the other side attracted the defense.
Durant dribbled with Richardson and turned to the middle, and made a jump shot from the horn position. His shot point was too high. The man less than two meters tall jumped slowly and could not even block the eye. The ball made 2-2.
In the Suns' attack, Guo Xu led the pass to Roy over the half, and Ibaka and empty-cut the inside without the ball, but failed to get rid of Wei Shao. Then they ran from the right to the left to the bottom line.
Roy led Sefrosa, the Thunder's best outside defense, away and passed it to Richardson, who quickly transferred the ball and formed a triangle with Guo Xu and O'Neal on the side.
Wei Shao felt very uncomfortable when he met Guo Xu's style of playing. He had played with Guo Xu many times, but he had no good solution.
He is impatient and likes to attack. Guo Xu is more famous than him, his skills are better than him, but he doesn't attack very well, and handling the ball makes him uncomfortable.
Guo Xu brought a strike and passed the ball to O'Neal on the low post. The young master of this kind of ball could only be anxious. It was impossible for Guo Xu to help Horford defend O'Neal. Dai Quinn could not retreat to the penalty area to assist in defense, so Richardson would have to be empty.
After joining the Suns, Richardson seemed to have returned to his peak, averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 40.6%. As a partner with the stars, Richardson is often a person who was shorted, with an overall shooting percentage of 47.4%, and he easily scored 15.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 28 minutes.
O'Neal pushed Horford with his back and turned around and hooked the ball into the middle. 4-2.
His playing style does not give Guo Xu a boost, but his offensive efficiency is very high. Today, the Suns' goal is to win with all their might, and Guo Xu does not consider swiping data.
Durant received the ball and attacked, and after exploring the frame, he changed direction and broke through and was double-teamed by Roy. He passed the ball to the baseline, and Sefrosa made an open mid-range shot. 4-4.
The Suns' offense is the same trick. This time, Jay Chou was blocked by O'Neal and Guo Xu ran away from the defense at the bottom corner of the left side at 70 degrees.
Horford was already overwhelmed by the fact that he did not go out to replace the defender. Guo Xu easily took the ball and hit a three-pointer. 7 to 4.
The Thunder attacked, Durant was double-teamed again to pass the ball to Sefrosa, and this time the latter's open jump shot missed.
Sefrosa is a defensive blue-collar worker who can't train his offense, and only the bottom line can play a little role. If it weren't for his poor shooting, the Rockets wouldn't have given up and trained Avraro instead.
This season, Seifro averaged 26 minutes per game, only scored 5.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals, and averaged 4.2 shots per game. Today, he has "super strong offensive desire" and has completed half of his shots in the game.
O'Neal won the rebound, and the Suns had the opportunity to fight back but did not play. Guo Xu retreated and took the ball to slow down the pace, waiting for his teammates to take the position without any rush.
He has speed, but when the team needs it, he can slow down for his teammates.
O'Neal walked slowly through the half-time, and this time it was easier. Guo Xu ran to the bottom corner on the left and stopped running. Roy hung the ball to O'Neal, who beat Horford one-on-one and leaned back twice to the bottom line and turned around and wiped it into the basket and missed it, but it caused Horford to foul the thug.
O'Neal made one of two free throws, 8-4.
The Thunder attacked, and after the player pulled away, Wei Shao hit Guo Xu, because Guo Xu let him go two steps to defend against breaking and not shooting. Wei Shao, who had the advantage of height, did not disappoint Guo Xu. He scored three-pointers in the middle and scored a rebound by O'Neal.
Westbrook, who had just entered the league a few years ago, scored mainly by breaking through layups. He dared to make moves in the middle distance, and many shots accounted for 40% of the shooting, but his shooting percentage was less than 38%. He shot 33% in three-point shooting percentage, and averaged only 1.3 shots per game.
After seeing Wei Shao's data, all teams know how to deal with him. They must prevent breakthroughs and not shooters. Except for shooting in the penalty area, his shooting in other positions is full of blind spots.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Westbrook couldn't practice shooting. In 2018, when Guo Xu was reborn, Wei Shao has played in the NBA for 10 seasons, and is still at the level of "really dare to shoot, really not make it".
His average mid-range shooting percentage is barely more than 40% in only three seasons, and his real shooting percentage in the peak season of the regular season was only 55.4%. His real shooting percentage in the playoffs was even worse, all of which were around 50%.
Such people are undoubtedly the data brush that can be used to score higher. It is much better for him to make Durant and Horford to take action.
In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu ran to the bottom corner on the left to receive the ball. When Horford saw that Wei Shao was blocked by the cover, he quickly changed defense. Guo Xu took the ball and moved sideways, and hung the ball to the basket.
O'Neal stuck out his butt, jumped up with one-handed dunk and made a 10-4 shot.
When he returned to defense, O'Neal smiled very happily and clapped Guo Xu.
Zhang Heli sighed: "O'Neal will be 39 years old in March next year. As long as he is given the ball, he can still dominate the penalty area. His size cover is also very good."
Yu Jia said: "O'Neal's scoring efficiency is still there, but his physical strength is not good. He and Guo Xu are the kind of cooperation when playing against the Lakers, and can help the opponent create opportunities, but Kobe was replaced by Roy."
Jay and Horford played pick-and-roll, got rid of the ball at full speed and rushed into the basket. O'Neal's replacement was slower, and he quickly entered the basketball. 10 to 6.
Guo Xu stopped chasing him when he saw that he was blocked. He followed Horford in the middle and waited for an opportunity to steal, allowing O'Neal to deal with Wei Shao at the basket. The Suns' defensive strategy has always been through analyzing data to make plans, and try to put the opponent in a position where he is inaccurate.
Horford is a player who cannot let go. The Suns suffered in the first two games. His mid-range shooting percentage this season is more than 50%, which still accounts for 52% of the total shooting proportion. It is one of the most accurate inside players in the league.
When the Suns attacked, O'Neal provided a cover for Guo Xu just after halftime. Guo Xu got rid of Victoria and Durant replaced the pick-and-roll.
This is a key point in the Thunder's small ball tactics. Durant's quick turnover speed is, and he has extraordinary mobility if he plays as a power forward.
Guo Xu did not forcefully break through and passed the ball to the right bottom line. Richardson suddenly cut the ball and received the pass. He jumped up with one-handed dunk. 12 to 6.
Dai Quinn was pushed away by Richardson, and Horford turned around and took a step slower to fix the defense.
The Thunder attack, Westbrook re-used the same trick, and forced a breakthrough after playing pick-and-roll. After O'Neal's position comparison, he retreated into the penalty area to defend himself.
Jason chose to make a quick stop and jump shot, avoided O'Neal's block, and the ball bounced out. This wasn't the end, he actually rushed into the basket and wanted to grab the frontcourt rebound.
O'Neal didn't jump, turned around and moved sideways and got stuck. Jay Shou hit O'Neal and staggered and couldn't return to defense. Richardson grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed the long pass to Guo Xu. He would play like this in college, and he practiced after entering the NBA.
Guo Xu accelerated straight and got rid of Horford's catch. He jumped up with all his strength without anyone defending, turned around and pulled the ball back to spike the ball. 14 to 6.
