Chapter 468: Westbrook passing!

Westbrook passed the ball!
This is his first pass in this game!
It was a bit late, and a bit more sudden.
He is a temporary pass between breakthroughs.
In addition, his passing is not as elegant and secretive as Xu Xuan, his passing is very direct, a bit like a through ball in a football game, simple, direct and not fancy.
But it was too sudden.
Oladipo, who was passed the ball, was suddenly hit in the face by the ball.
Sudden basketball, sudden self...
Oladipo almost didn't react. As a defender, he almost didn't react. Fortunately, the ball was passed to him. If it was passed to Aquaman or Robertson, it would be a mistake.
Oladipo received the ball, shook Russell, mid-range jumper
Before Xu Xuan could reach it, the ball fell into the Nets.
Score.
9 to 5.
Don't tell me, this point was caught up after a while, Westbrook made one assist and one free throw, successfully reviving the situation.
Xu Xuan thought thoughtfully.
Westbrook is... is it changing consciously?
More possession of the ball, willing to share the ball when the brain is not hot, especially when breaking through the ball, which is accompanied by an increase in turnovers. It is no wonder that teammates can’t catch the ball. Sometimes the ball is passed too suddenly. , Caught off guard.
Xu Xuan approves of Wei Shao's change.
To be honest, the transformation at least shows that Westbrook is sober. After all, the previous style of play was too physical, and he was very old. Facing a rookie like a livestock, he could still be as old as twenty, twenty-five, and thirty. Play ball?
Westbrook is already twenty-eight this year, not far from thirty.
Jump shots and three-pointers are always unstable, if he can have Curry or Xu Xuan's accurate head...No, Lowry and Walker will do, but he doesn’t. It depends on his body and himself. , How far do you want to go?
Can't go far!
Maybe no one can help you one game after another in the regular season, but in the playoffs, you have been trying this for seven games.
Besides organization, Westbrook's organization is extremely unstable like his shooting.
Westbrook is a player with a strong ability to switch offense and breakthrough, but compared with that, his shooting and organization ability is obviously behind. To put it bluntly, a core guard without a stable outside shot will greatly limit his limit.
Organizing this life in the NBA is really an advanced skill. A guard who is well-known for organizing was not beaten for many years after entering the league. Nash, the old demon, Curry, and Xu Xuan are forming fast.
This is really not what you want to do. Experience, basketball IQ, at least these two must be available. Transformation based on physical talent, I really don’t know if there is a precedent and it is difficult. Breaking the ball is a natural advantage for Westbrook, and it really tests the reaction of his teammates.
But it is a good thing to be able to think of this. Xu Xuan estimated that Wei Shao would not be able to jump out of that framework in a short while, but he was indeed already consciously changing.
...
The two teams played fiercely in the first quarter, but the Thunder have been under pressure by the Lakers due to the lack of three shots in the opening.
Until the end of the first quarter, Westbrook fought for a whole quarter, but still failed to narrow the difference, but instead widened it.
30 to 24, the Lakers scored 30 points in the first quarter!
When the two sides entered the bench time, Xu Xuan looked at Wei Shao who was panting over there in a daze.
To be honest, there really must be someone like him on the court, not to mention the strength, that is, his fighting spirit will involuntarily infect his teammates, which is a hidden help.
Westbrook, Green, Haslem of the Heat and even Ci Shiping of the Lakers are all such people.
They dare to fight, they are not afraid of sweating, nor are they afraid of bleeding.
The existence of such teammates is a good thing, because the team will never fall into a trough, even if it is far behind.
Of course, Xu Xuan, Curry, and James can also do this, but the methods are different.
...
In the second quarter, both sides played on the bench.
In this game, Xu Xuan did not stop early, even if he was leading, he still played the whole quarter like Westbrook.
The Lakers have performed well off the bench. The combination of Lu Weijia and Yang Shaoxia is not too strong, but at least not weak. When it feels good, it might be able to put others on the ground.
The main substitute for the Thunder is Enes Kanter, a 211-high center.
The scores on both sides rose alternately, but the Thunder's desire to equalize in the second quarter failed to achieve.
At the end of the first half, the two sides scored 55 to 46, and the Lakers widened the point difference to 9 points.
The OKC fans at the scene took advantage of the intermission to buy popcorn and drinks, and then talked in twos and threes about the first half of the game. Most of them didn’t know each other, but they had one thing in common. They were all OKC fans. enough.
The attitude of most people is not very pessimistic, 9 points behind halftime, not small, but not impossible, as long as Westbrook opens here, any miracle may occur.
In the locker room of the Lakers, coach Frank Vogel didn't arrange much. The Lakers played pretty well in the first half. His only requirement was to keep it, and to prevent Westbrook from suddenly exploding... ....
Xu Xuan was going through technical statistics.
In the first half, he played the last 1 minute of the first quarter and the second quarter, a total of almost 14 minutes, shooting 7 of 5, including 3 of 4 three points, plus two hits. Free throws, 15 points, 4 assists, 1 rebound.
The reason for the few rebounds is that he can't get it at all, and can't get the "rebound harvester" led by Westbrook...
Originally, the two power forwards and the two centers had enough people to grab rebounds together. Now we need to add another Westbrook... to grab a wool, you can't get it.
Xu Xuan was so desperate to grab a defensive rebound in the end, which was because Yi Jian repeatedly gave in.
He has the highest score on the Lakers side, no doubt. He scored 15 points out of 55 points alone, and the Lakers have already played 11 players in the half...That's not much in the average.
On the Thunder side, Wei Shao also scored the highest, with the same 15 points as Xu Xuan, but he shot more times than Xu Xuan. Xu Xuan only took 7 shots to get 15 points, and Wei Shao did this. On the side, it took 11 shots to get 15 points, 4 more times.
He made 5 of 11 shots, including 2 of 3 from three points, and three free throws.
The three-point shooting rate is good, but the mid-range is too bad. The three-pointers are 2 of 3, and the layup is counted. The two-pointers are 3 of 8 shots, which is not good.
However, Westbrook had a lot of assists. He had 7 assists in the half, three more than Xu Xuan, and also rebounds. Xu Xuan only had one rebound, while Westbrook... had 6!
The Thunder had 24 rebounds in the half, Westbrook accounted for a quarter.
Quite a lot!
This is really a lot!
6 in half, you count, there are 12 in full!
And Westbrook... he was just a 191 guard, he just grabbed 6 rebounds from a group of 7-footers.
Perhaps, you can find out by comparison, Xu Xuan's physical fitness is not weak, right?
He has only one rebound, and Westbrook has 6...
The Thunder's second-highest half-time score is Oladipo's 12 points, followed by Adams's 10 points and 5 rebounds...
That's right, as the center of the team, Adams has not as many rebounds in the half court as Westbrook...
...Wonderful book
Xu Xuan flipped it casually, and a smile appeared from time to time.
Playing the game...not as scary as imagined, nor as nervous as imagined, proper relaxation is more conducive to the next performance.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Xu Xuan and Wei Shao both returned to the court.
The decisive battle has begun!
Just as those OKC fans at the scene thought, it was nothing in Westbrook's eyes that it was 9 points behind halftime...
He felt good about three-pointers in this game, and later he will shoot more three-pointers as appropriate.
Game start.
The Thunder served first and Westbrook brought it in. Sure enough, they took a step forward and called Adams' pick and roll and went straight to the three-pointer
The strength is great, anyway, more strength than when Xu Xuan shot.
However, Westbrook's three-pointer in this game may feel really good. Xu Xuan expected the ball to hit the basket, but it hit the Nets directly...
actually?
Shivering cold!
...
The second half opened with a three-pointer from Westbrook.
The Lakers offense.
Xu Xuan's offense is different from Westbrook, he chose to break through this offense!
His shooting is more accurate, but his breakthrough is more lethal.
Of course, there is also a hidden benefit, which allows more teammates to participate.
It’s okay to shoot three-pointers. He also believes in how he feels, but he keeps shooting and shooting from the outside. The only role of his teammates is to run back and forth and use WeChat steps... the others are probably fake. .
Conversely, if he chooses to break through, he will attract most of the defensive focus and create opportunities for his teammates.
It is not what Xu Xuan wants to treat teammates as tools. Growth is a compromise and help between each other. Xu Xuan is willing to create opportunities for them if he can.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
This is the sound of footsteps hitting the ground.
Xu Xuan's breakthrough is still tough! Strong! Powerful!
Also with a trace of unpredictable elegance, this is Xu Xuan's unique breakthrough action!
"Damn, this guy is here again!"
When Robertson saw Xu Xuan rushing over, he couldn't help taking a breath.
This is not the first time Xu Xuan has made this move in this game, but he knows that the opponent will pass the ball, but he still can't react.
Xu Xuan put too much pressure!
boom!
Snapped!
Wow!
Robertson tried his best to complete the defense, but he only had time to turn himself sideways, and Xu Xuan passed it over with an incredibly gorgeous crossover!
Another unique skill!
If Westbrook breaks through, he will never do a crossover... He just rushes over and throws the ball... at least it's a foul.
Of course... he might not crossover either...
Huh!
As Robertson thought, the ball didn't last long in Xu Xuan's hands. As soon as he passed Robertson, Xu Xuan passed the ball as soon as the Thunder flanked.
The ball found Ingram who was just about to cut in...Boom!
boom!
Xu Xuan's pass basically does not need to be adjusted twice, it is the best position, the best place, close your eyes, and you're done!
As a young player, Ingram is undoubtedly very excited about this kind of ball. No way, newcomers like to score... and he is thin. Although the template is Durant, he is also very talented in the eyes of everyone. Strong, but his performance is not too good...The confrontation is too bad, and the shooting arouses instability, and the defense will be distracted...
These are all his shortcomings.
And Xu Xuan is thinking of ways to correct his shortcomings as much as possible, so that his advantages can be better displayed.
This is what Xu Xuan has to do. Bringing him a big contract is not the best way. Let him grow and let him get a big contract through his own efforts. That's true!
57 to 49, looking back, Westbrook fired again on the front three-point line...This guy is addicted. The three-pointer is indeed a "very simple means of scoring". If you shoot more, you will be addicted.. ....
But the goal was not scored, but Westbrook was a wolf.
It’s okay if you don’t make it, you promised to hit the three-point line all the way to the basket, grab the rebound and transport it to the three-point line before throwing it—
Not in yet!
Yi Jianlian didn't give him a chance to "three brushes", so he protected the rebound and gave it to Xu Xuan.
After a breakthrough in the front court, a simple lob was given to Randle.
The Thunder's defense was tight and the inside line was fast. Randall passed inside and gave Yi Jianlian a hook—
Ouch! The difficulty of the hook is too high. Xu Xuan always thinks that the hook is the ceiling for the inside player's attack~EbookFREE.me~ and even higher than the outside three-pointer. Both have the same effect, and one can open up space. , One can ignore the defense.
It's a pity that this hook didn't make a hit, the rebound... was picked up by Westbrook who didn't know where he came from... His position was too mysterious, no one else did. Going here, it's him... as if he smelled a fishy smell.
Xu Xuan is speechless, this is only two rounds, right?
Did you score two rebounds?
Excuse me, are you breaking your record today?
Westbrook's career rebound record was last season. In a game against the Orlando Magic in February this year, he scored 19 rebounds.
According to this posture today, this record may be broken. After all, this is just the beginning of the third quarter. Westbrook has already got 9 rebounds. To be honest, a bit too much...
Westbrook made a quick counterattack after protecting the rebound!
Westbrook’s counterattack is very characteristic. When he rushes up, he doesn’t care how many people are in front of him or how many people are behind him. When he doesn’t rush, he will even go dribbling..... .
This time a quick counterattack was completed.
Xu Xuan had already reacted when Westbrook turned to counterattack, but Westbrook's explosive power was indeed strong, and he surpassed Xu Xuan in one fell swoop during the instant acceleration phase. The following was nothing more than a foul or non-foul, and Xu Xuan had no idea. There is no need for a foul for this.
57 to 51, the difference becomes 6 points!
It was really fast!
Just as OKC fans thought, if Westbrook is comfortable playing, then everything is possible. Westbrook is uncomfortable, let alone a comeback, even if he is ahead by 9 points, he can lose you back.
