Chapter 884 [1 weakness, 1 turtle law]

Chapter 884 [A weakness, a turtle law]

Thunder attacked, Wei Shao forced a breakthrough and was double-teamed, and scored the ball to Robertson in the bottom corner. The latter shot from an open position, the ball popped into the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Jokic.

The Clippers attacked in a triangle, Antetokounmpo received a pass from Jokic with his back, leaned on Roberson and turned to the baseline, turned his right hand sideways in a hook position, but did not jump.

His 211CM height and wingspan gave Roberson the illusion that the opponent had already taken off, so he hurriedly jumped up and blocked the shot. Unfortunately, he was shaken.

Antetokounmpo got the ball back, jumped forward, hit Robertson, and picked the basket with his left hand.Roberson reacted quickly, fouled hard, and didn't let him shoot the ball comfortably to the rim.

Antetokounmpo made two free throws, 6-0.

Antetokounmpo is the real "big devil" of the Clippers. He has the advantage of height and wingspan, and his weight has risen from 89 kg when he just entered the league to 104 kg. It seems that his muscles are much stronger than Durant. In fact, he weighs more than Durant. A little lighter, you can see how low his fat content is!He can cover the basketball with his back, turn around like a guard, and can block the shot with a top inside shot.

Although it is mainly two points, Antetokounmpo is very efficient. Not only does he have a high shooting rate, he can also draw fouls.Whether the opponent can kill or not is an important criterion to see whether the star has dominance, and he has improved this ability year by year.

After being hit three times in a row, Donovan couldn't make any substitutions. This is already the Thunder's best flank in defense.

And Roberson was on the court, and there were targets on the offensive end. The Clippers continued to attack Wei Shao. Wei Shao gave Oladipo. two meters away.

Roberson didn't dare to cast the ball outside the three-point line on the right, waiting for Wei Shao to respond.Wei Shao received the ball again and failed, and gave it to Adams, who was empty-cutting in the middle. The latter beat Draymond and failed to squeeze into the basket by relying on his body. The half-hook missed under the interference.

The advantage of Robertson is that it is cheap, very similar to Sefolosha back then.His contract expires this year, and the Thunder will definitely not offer a big contract, at most an annual salary of 1000 million.

It's okay to say that Roberson is a "defensive expert". He has a clean defense and is very oppressive to perimeter players. He rarely gets fouled.

However, his offensive end is extremely poor. He averaged 30.1 minutes per game in the regular season, only getting 6.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting 46.4% from the field, 24.5% from three-pointers, and only 42.3% from the free throw line.

As a small forward, he is not only the target of frequent shorting, but also relies on leaks to score points. At critical moments, opponents can also use the "sharp shark tactics" on him, which is a weakness of the Thunder.

When the Clippers attacked, Curry still moved to attract defense and created opportunities for his teammates. Draymond missed the basket with a three-pointer in the middle. Only Giannis Antetokounmpo grabbed offensive rebounds, and the others quickly returned to defense.

Wei Shao picked up the rebound and made a fast break. He faced Danny Green in the front and shot a three-pointer. He was actually half-court and half-court, not 100% like Kobe, and half like Curry.

The ball bounced out of the box, and Jokic easily won the backcourt rebound.

The Clippers attacked, and Jokic passed Antetokounmpo again. He turned around and missed the shot. Wei Shao won the backcourt rebound and rushed forward at full speed. Although his teammates had a low chance of receiving the ball, they had to follow him. .

The Clippers quickly returned to defense, and Curry and Danny Green teamed up with Wei Shao, forcing him to distribute the ball to Oladipo on the left periphery, who made a quick shot. 6 to 3.

Oladipo is also a star. In Yang Rui's previous life, he averaged 24+5+4 per game after joining the Pacers, and his hit rate was almost 180, which was the lowest free throw hit rate.

Clippers players double-teamed Wei Shao, playing according to the tactics required by Yang Rui. This series is to strictly prevent Wei Shao from scoring and let others shoot.Analyzing the performance of the Thunder players in the regular season, the coaching staff found a turtle law. As long as Wei Shao scored double figures in rebounds and assists, he would change to scoring desperately, and the Clippers' defense would become easier and more targeted.

On the contrary, if Wei Shao feels hot and scores in double figures first, it will not be very easy to defend, and the Thunder are likely to bloom more.Because Wei Shao will become the most selfless player in the league, so selfless that sometimes there is no defense in front of him.

This season, Wei Shao has been selected into the TNT Big Five for three times because of not going to the empty basket and forcibly passing the ball. By letting his teammates hide from the backcourt and rebounding, Wei Shao has been on the Big Five several times.

In addition, in the game between the Warriors and the Thunder, after receiving the ball from Oladipo, Wei Shao communicated with Oladipo and gave a command. He walked from the backcourt to the middle circle with the basketball. This ball was voted online. Among them, 88% of fans think that the season is the most embarrassing. No matter whether the regular season MVP can be obtained or not, Wei Shao has already locked the five embarrassing MVPs.

The advantage of his playing like this is that he can increase assists. Under the arrangement of the coaching staff, his teammates are very cooperative. Generally, he will shoot immediately after receiving the ball, and rarely take an extra step.If someone takes two more steps, Wei Shao may shout excitedly: "Choosing!"

Well, that's it...you said he wasn't a brush or something?Is it a mop?

The Clippers attacked, and the formation opened up the players to actively run tactics. Curry attracted the defense and then distributed it to Jokic who cut empty. The latter then attracted Adams to make up the defense and gave Draymond outside the three-point line in the middle, a large space. This time Draymond hit. 9 to 3.

After that, the Clippers relied on the selfless cooperation between the players to maintain high efficiency and suppress the Thunder, leading 31 to 21 in the first quarter.

Wei Shao played the whole quarter, made 6 of 1 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 4 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Roberson played at an exceptional level today, hitting two three-pointers in a single quarter, otherwise the Thunder would definitely not be able to score 20.

快船表现最好的是字母哥，8投5中，罚球2中2，得到12分4篮板2助攻；库里也得了10分，投中两个三分球。

The Thunder's defensive intensity is good. The Clippers players run tactics seriously, and scoring 31 points is not too much, but they have no good way to deal with Antetokounmpo. It is difficult to defend alone, and they can only defend.

In the second quarter, the two sides sent substitutes, and the difference quickly widened to 20 points. LaVine singled out Norris Cole as an opportunity. After picking and rolling with Whiteside in the middle, he attracted the inside to switch the defense, scored the ball in the middle, and hit the basket with the white side. Cole couldn't help it.

Whiteside is on the bench, and the Clippers have an obvious advantage in the interior. The opponent must have a big man to mark, otherwise he will dunk when he dislocates into the basket.It is a pity that Adams is an excellent defensive center in the Thunder.

In Yang Rui's previous life, because he won two championships with the Heat as soon as he entered the league, many fans discussed Kerr's historical status.He doesn't have this kind of luck in this life. People usually talk about who he can defend with a height of 188cm and 77kg.

The Thunder do not lack 3-pointers, but they lack [-]D players. Those who can shoot [-]-pointers are poor in defense, and those who are good at defense lack range. The situation is rather embarrassing.

Donovan hopes that the bench will last for a while, allowing Wei Shao to regain his strength.His quick offense-to-defense transition can't support the whole game.During the regular season, he averaged no more than 35 minutes per game.

The gap between the two teams' substitutes is obvious. Wei Shao can only come back after a 4-minute rest. He is eager to catch up with the score, and his shot selection is poor, and his jumpers are shot continuously.In the positional battle, Westbrook was also double-teamed, and there were many mistakes in the strong shot to the basket, and then he was counterattacked.

The Clippers played a wave of 15 to 3. Only Wei Shao made a three-pointer in the Thunder, and the point difference quickly widened to more than 30 points.

Before halftime was over, the Clippers sealed the victory.
