Thanks to the butterfly effect brought by Jiang Mingliang, Westbrook avoided the injury brought by his most disgusting enemy Beverly in his career, and therefore has better physical fitness, better personal ability, but better physical fitness Does not lead to better minds. The physical condition is good, the explosive power is strong, the muscles are great, and the flying dunks are addictive, which is also in line with the intuitive spirit of sports competitions. But Westbrook's characteristic is that he has the ball in his hands from beginning to end, and I have the world. As for Curry, he is the exact opposite of Westbrook. Then the defense on the opposite side was all misplaced, Porzingis took the ball and shot it calmly, and the point guard on the opposite side was completely powerless to interfere. During this whole offensive process, what did Curry do, and did his data increase?

A good fighter has no great achievements. That's probably what it means.

It is even said that last season, when he played on behalf of the US team during the offseason and missed six games in the first half, without Leonard and Lopez, Curry single-core led the team to the Eastern Conference. Third, and fought six games against the final champion in the Eastern Conference Finals, it can be said to be the only team that put pressure on the 76ers. This has proven that Curry is still stronger when playing like Westbrook when the situation forces him to do so.

The bigger gap between the two is on the defensive end. It is undeniable that a good body can give you the upper limit to dominate offense and defense, but Westbrook has not yet reached the stage of fighting for talent in defense. In this era when shooting is so popular, if you don't interfere with shooting, and you are often thrown away by off-ball moves, it's simply a death. Curry at least did it, interfering with opponents to the greatest extent, and relying on the system to make opponents make bad choices. For example, jam one side, drive the opponent into the dense defensive area of ​​the Nets, jam the outward passing route and wait for an opportunity to steal and so on. The key to the 76ers' victory over the Nets last season was Schneider's clever trick of naming Curry, but this was based on the fact that the Nets lost two generals, and the 76ers had the confidence to lose 1,000 to themselves and 800 to the enemy. With the Nets as the main force, the 76ers simply cannot afford to fight this war of attrition.

In fact, without the Durant deal, the Thunder have been well-adjusted. Regardless of the quality of the superstar or the thickness of the lineup, they may not have the strength to fight against the Nets. However, firstly, the BUG-like winning streak of the Nets this season has somewhat crushed Durant's fighting spirit, invincible and invincible. Second, the problem lies with the Thunder itself. In the game, Durant's role is greatly marginalized. For most of the game, Westbrook occupies more possessions. Perhaps this is the protection of Durant, who has just recovered from a serious injury? But at least the decline in tactical status is obvious to all. For the Thunder, the bigger problem is the record. The team's record is 5 games behind the Nets. It is an exaggeration to say that this is not a team at all. The core of Westbrook did not knead the team well. The team still relied on singles, coupled with Ibaka's decline and the Thunder's exchange for Motie Junas, weakening Ibaka's operations. The situation that Rant wants to see, and therefore, Durant, who has been begging for a championship for many years, decided to leave, aiming to write his own chapter in the NBA. Durant has no time to waste.

It's just a pity that the Nets didn't have enough chips, but the Clippers are also a broad choice.

In the first quarter of the game, the Nets led the Thunder by 6 points at 33:27, relying on the advantage of more blooming offensive points.

The scramble for offensive rebounds became the key for the Thunder to hold the point difference. The Thunder grabbed 5 offensive rebounds in the first quarter, which won them more chances to return bullets, and the team also He made good use of the hard-won second attack opportunity, grabbed a lot of points, and made up for the team's overall offensive limitation.

Compared with his predecessor Brooks, Donovan is more willing to let the dual cores be disassembled in the rotation and take turns to bring substitute players to fight. At the beginning of the second quarter, Westbrook led Ray Allen, Simmons, Motie Junas, and Kanter to the basket. The Nets’ rotation lineup, not surprisingly, the Thunder quickly took advantage. Kanter, who has excellent autonomous offensive ability, has become a stable scoring point for the Thunder. Facing Nurkic’s defense, Kanter showed off his offensive kaleidoscope The attribute, scoring consecutively at the basket, made Nurkic a little at a loss. On the offensive end of the Nets, facing the tough defense of the Thunder, Pierce and Carter were somewhat weak respectively. Stevens had to replace Royce O'Neal. defense.

Following Carter was replaced by Covington. The Thunder's substitute insiders, Kanter and Motiejunas, both have strong offensive capabilities. The Nets created a lot of pressure. At this time, Covington was still on the court. If you hit one big and four small ones, it's a little tricky.

O'Quinn, who came off the bench, had decent defensive ability, but the situation on the field was always dominated by the Thunder. Soon, under the leadership of Westbrook, the Thunder not only recovered the score, but even quickly reversed the score. pull away.

With a lot of ball holding, you can definitely find an offensive touch, and no matter how much you don't like Westbrook, you have to admit that his super explosive power and physical fitness are really as difficult to beat as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Seeing that the situation is not favorable, the Nets have also shortened the playing time of the rotation players. Leonard and Porzingis have appeared one after another, at least the threat on the offensive end has increased.

In the Nets team, there has always been a lack of defenders against point guards with explosive physical fitness such as Westbrook and Wall. To a certain extent, the probability of this type of players encountering the Nets' data is relatively high. of.

Leonard is known as the strongest defender on the outside of the league, but he is more likely to defend players in the second and third positions. He can even try to go up against James or stare at Harden. Less is completely impossible. This is why Jiang Mingliang's other ideal second position is the Celtics' Bradley in addition to Clay. It's just a pity that I have been chasing after it for a long time, but I really have no chance to catch it.

Halfway through the second quarter, the main players of both sides re-appeared one after another. Once Curry appeared, the team's offense was as smooth as if it had been damaged by lubricating oil. As long as Curry is on the court, the offensive environment that the Nets players get on the offensive end is never comfortable before. This bonus is really too great.

On the contrary, the incompatibility between Westbrook and Griffin is still obvious on the scene. Griffin is an insider who needs to hold the ball. He has the ability to shoot, but it is not West, and the insider like Anderson receives the ball. He can make a shot, he has his own rhythm of play.

Running in, maybe it really takes time. . . . . .

(The company team building dinner tonight, when I came back, I caught up with the heavy rain and wasted a lot of time. Today's update is a little less, and I will make up for it in two days on weekends. I hope everyone will forgive me.)
