Zhang Guan's super triple double shocked the entire NBA. At this time, everyone suddenly discovered that Zhang Guan not only scored, he can also pass like a point guard, help his opponent score, and even grab a dozen rebounds.
There is no shortage of scorers in the NBA. If there are enough ball rights and enough playing time, many role players can easily get 20-30. Some "wave pitcher" type players can even get a high score of 40. . But in the NBA, players who can help teammates score are rare.
Prior to this, many people in the league positioned Zhang Guan as a super scorer who was good at scoring. It was like Kobe. After this game, people realized that Zhang Guan was more terrible than expected. It turns out that everyone just needs to be able to limit Zhang Guan's scoring, and everything will be fine, but now it seems that simply limiting Zhang Guan's scoring is not enough, but also limiting Zhang Guan's passing. And this is basically an impossible task, no player has this ability.
And the most headache is obviously the opponents in Los Angeles, they do not know what method should be used to defend the crown.
On March 7, local time in the United States, the Lakers came to Denver on the Colorado Plateau to challenge the Nuggets away.
The final score was the Lakers with 12 points, 126 to 114 victory over the Nuggets.
This Nuggets team lacks the ability to score inside. They mainly rely on Lawson. As long as Lawson is restricted, the Nuggets are equivalent to a waste of more than half. Lawson is also a kind of player with insufficient stability. When the state is good, it is like a tiger, and all kinds of large double-double brushes fly. When the state is not good, it is like a dog, except for selling cute. This kind of player meets that kind of tough defender, basically can only eat deflated.
The Nuggets away challenge can only be regarded as an appetizer for the Lakers, and after returning to the home, the Lakers are ushered in the real challenge. The next four games, the Thunder and the Spurs!
Before visiting Los Angeles, the Thunder just lost to the Phoenix Suns, and the Spurs surpassed the rankings in the West, becoming the second in the West. However, they have more games ahead of the third-placed Clippers. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible to fall out of the top two.
In terms of team personnel, Wei Shao came back from injury, and his condition is still very good. In recent games, he has been transformed into a "three double men". But the Thunder starting center Perkins and Soflosa were injured after the start. The Thunder can only let first-year freshman Adams replace Perkins and appear in the center position.
In the eyes of future generations, Adams is a very good inside player, definitely taking the starting position, but now Adams is much tenderer. In the Thunder's inside, veteran Collison and last rookie Perry Jones want Adams to get more performance opportunities.
Perry Jones occupied another starting position, which is also the new lineup of the Thunder coach Scott Brooks after Soflosa was injured. He let Perry Jones partner Adams as the insider and Ibaka played. Small forward, Durant plays the shooting guard position. The current starting lineup is a total of three games, the Thunder record is two wins and one loss.
The Thunder is a tall lineup. Adams is 2.13, Perry Jones is 2.11, Ibaka is 2.08, and Durant’s true height is not much to say.
The Lakers are still a big and four small lineup, except for Gasol, the other four are all small.
Facts have proved that the Thunder team failed.
The popular trend of the NBA league is to play small balls, and there must be a certain reason. The future NBA is the prevalence of small ball styles. The rhythm of offense and defense conversion is faster and faster, and more and more three-point shots are thrown. The last group of big men will not shoot three-pointers when running slowly.
The change of coach Brooks has had the opposite effect. Perry Jones, a player with excellent sports talent, is better. Adams only has to return to run.
...
Wei Shao's shooting rate is relatively average today. He made only one of his four three-pointers. However, in terms of defense, Wei Shao is still very hard, especially when he is facing Zhang Guan.
Since the shooting rate is not high, Wei Shao simply turned into Beverly, scoring and assisting are all needed, that is, Zhang Zhang is desperately entangled, whether Zhang Guan takes the ball, Wei Shao will pounce.
"Come on! With me, no matter if you are a breakthrough or a three-pointer, you never want to score easily! I'm not the Westbrook from four years ago!" Westbrook was extremely focused and didn't want to give Zhang Guan any score. Opportunity.
"Wow!" Zhang Guan passed the ball to the basket.
I saw Gasol took the ball, flicked the fake, and then passed around Adams, and then directly layup. The energetic Perry Jones rushed over and was directly an unreasonable foul.
"Beep!" The whistle sounded and the ball was scored with a penalty.
Durant shook his head rather helplessly, and Adams was still too tender compared to the sly Gasol.
However, Wei Shao looked at Zhang Guan unwillingly. He thought Zhang Guan would play one-on-one singles like the World Championship in Turkey four years ago, but he didn't expect Zhang Guan to pass the ball directly.
The Thunder attacked, Ibaka hit a shot, and when Zhang Guan held the ball again, Wei Shao pounced again.
Zhang Guan made a breakthrough fake, and then passed the ball to Gasol, brushing an assist.
"Pass again! Zhang Guan is completely different from four years ago. Zhang Guan four years ago is a scoring machine. He rarely passes, and now Zhang Guan is addicted to passing passes?" Wei Shao Secretly thought.
In the World Championships four years ago, Zhang Guan had few trusted teammates. Instead of passing the ball, he had a better chance of shooting. Now it’s different. This is the NBA. Even the poorest players are stronger than the national team’s starters. Not to mention the stars such as Gasol and the excellent players like Meeks and Nezmore. Role player.
Nowadays, Adams of the Thunder is obviously a loophole on the field, and Zhang Guan will certainly not miss this good opportunity.
...
Wei Shao had been entangled with Zhang Guan throughout the game, and the Thunder's offensive and organizational responsibility fell on Durant's head.
Durant's shooting percentage can only be considered qualified, but the free throw hand feels bad. He made 8 of 19 shots, 7 of 11 free throws, scored 27 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, a triple-double data.
Ibaka also scored 21 points and 8 rebounds. In addition, the Thunder scored the most on the bench, Reggie Jackson. As for Wei Shao, he has been entangled with Zhang Guan, barely talking about scoring and assists. Instead, he rebounded 10 and got the highest Thunder team.
In terms of the Lakers, Gasol made a double-double with 30 points and 11 rebounds. Meeks made 4 of 6 3-pointers from the field, and his 10 free throws made 10 free throws. He also scored 28 points. Bezmore once again played the role of bench bandit. Zhang Guan only scored 18 points today, but contributed 15 assists, which is standard point guard data.
In the end, the Thunder lost 106 to 114 to the Lakers. The Lakers continued their winning streak, and the Thunder ushered in a two-game losing streak.
Counting the Thunder's defeat in this game, the main reason is actually not on the players, the biggest black pot should be head coach Brooks. Under the trend of the small ball gradually prevailing, facing another running master such as D'Antoni, Brooks made these four big and one small lineups, and was naturally exploded by the big four.
Wei Shao fully guarded Zhang Guan, this is no problem, Wei Shao's defense is as strong as his offense; Durant works alone for two people, this is no problem, he already has this ability.
There was no problem with Adams appearing in the starting center. Adams is a good insider. What he owes is some experience. The young Adams can't stop Gasol alone. It needs someone to help defend. Ibaka is a good candidate.
Ibaka can be regarded as the Thunder's inner pillar. In the past, Thunder even gave up Harden in order to renew Ibaka, which is enough to reflect the value of Ibaka to the Thunder. Today, Brooks coach used a faint trick. Instead of letting Ibaka partner Adams, he chose Perry Jones. Perhaps in the eyes of coach Brooks, Adams and Jones, one is tall and strong, the other has excellent athletic ability, which can just complement each other.
But the final result is that Adams and Jones have become the burden of the Thunder, completely slinged by Gasol, can not play its due role. Although Gasol has always been said to be a soft egg, but whether it is experience, golfer or consciousness, they are top-notch. Perhaps in the face of that tough insider, they are indeed not too daring to be positive, but it is more than enough to bully newcomers. , Especially first-year freshman like Adams, is also a white player, the most appetite for Gasol.
After the game ended, many sports commentators also believed that the formation of coach Brooks was a faint move, but fortunately the Thunder's record is good enough, they have the opportunity to try a new lineup.
...
Although the Lakers won the game, the whole team knew that this was only the first round of the two sides. This time it was the home of the Lakers, but in the next game, the Lakers will go to the home of the Thunder and continue to play with the Thunder. The second round of the contest.
On March 13, local time in the United States, the Lakers came to Oklahoma City to challenge the Thunder away.
This time, coach Brooks finally did not continue to cling to his "four big and one small" lineup, he chose to change, Perry Jones returned to the bench.
