Chapter 1762: Westbrook, good brother!

The Lakers and Oklahoma City played almost five-five in the first half. This is not beyond people’s expectations. Oklahoma City can reach the Western Conference semifinals with two brushes, but no one expected it. It’s not the one who played the best. Ji Feng, Kobe and Durant were the three most mentioned names before the game, but Westbrook.
Although Westbrook is the second-in-chief of the Thunder's three juniors, his position in the Thunder team is second only to Durant. Brooks is also very optimistic about this physical fitness explosion, the defender who dares to fight on the court, but from the perspective of these two seasons On the court, he is still the second or even third offensive choice.
There are many reasons, the most critical of course is Durant’s strong rise and Westbrook’s own play restrictions. Westbrook plays with the body. Most point guards have learned his laterality when confronting him. Movement speed, no one can deny Westbrook's incredible athletic talent and explosive power to hit the basket.
He is not a pass-based point guard. He is good at straight-line breakthroughs. He has amazing explosiveness, big steps, high altitude, and high-intensity defense. Although the finishing ability at the basket is not efficient, he can create a lot of kills and rely on free throws to score. .
Westbrook likes to make jump shots and lacks effective means of scoring near the basket. Although Westbrook can rebound and steals well, his defensive evaluation is very average. He has problems with defensive attention and does not defend the ball. Sometimes it will be shameful, allowing the opponent to easily cut or shoot three-pointers, requiring teammates to help defend.
It stands to reason that such a point guard is not the best match with Durant and Harden. What Durant needs is guys like Nash and Paul, so that they can play Durant’s biggest off-ball threat. It can be seen that when Ji Feng and Durant are on the court at the same time, Durant eats cakes and eats the best, and when he holds the ball on his own, although it is also very good, but the efficiency is not to be reduced. Avoided.
Harden's role overlaps with Westbrook to a certain extent, and he also needs a lot of ball power to play singles.
But these three were lucky enough to meet Brooks. He made Durant and Westbrook dual cores on the field and made Harden the sixth man of the team on the bench. This solved the problem well. People compatibility issues.
The Thunder does not pursue the ultimate tactical configuration. The tactics played on the court are to give Durant and Westbrook in turn to create singles opportunities, whoever has the better chance to play, this tactic is called'primary basketball tactics' by many insiders, but they don't know. This is the most suitable tactic for the Second Young Master. Forcing a cumbersome and complex tactic will definitely backfire, because Westbrook is not a defender for this.
After Harden came on the field, Harden served as an outside fort, shooting two points long except for three-pointers. This season, Harden made 3.4 three-pointers per game with a 42.2% three-point shooting rate. At 12.5 points, he was once a popular candidate for the best sixth man.
The rest of the Thunder are all around the three players. Perkins and Ibaka are the toolmen. The two are only responsible for rebounding and defending the opposing center and the inside guard. Outside Sessions is a pure defensive type. Shooting guards, even on the bench, have accumulated a lot of defensive players. The core of the offense on the court are these three!
From here, we can see that Brooks really has something.
In the first half of the game, it can be seen that they have prepared very well. The scoring is basically concentrated on these three people. Except for Ibaka to get 2 points, Perkins gets 3 points from free throws, and Sessions makes a goal. Except for a three-pointer, the other scores are on these three people.
Brooks expressed his satisfaction. Although this was different from what he expected, his original tactic was naturally to make Durant crazy singles. Although his opponent was Ji Feng, he believed that Adu had a solution. In fact, at the beginning of the game This is also the case. Durant and Ji Feng played a good game for a few minutes. Although Ji Feng did not continue to attack and stopped, but in his view, Ji Feng should not fight means Durant won.
Then Westbrook blasted Fisher, which seemed nothing to Brooks. Fisher was already old. Of course, even if Fisher returned to his youth, he could not beat Westbrook, so he was beaten. This is just as it should be.
"Russell, good work! Continue to be aggressive in the second half, they may replace Black or Shannon to defend against you, but I believe you will still blow them up, right?" Brooks said to Westbrook in the locker room .
"Of course! Coach, believe me, I feel great!" Westbrook waved his hands very excitedly. He has reason to do so, because 22 points in the half are his personal playoff half-time scoring record, according to this game. Going on, he scored more than 30 points, and this will be his first 30 points in the playoffs.
Fans don’t need to be surprised. It’s normal to not score 30 points in the playoffs. More than 80% of the players have never scored. Westbrook will have a chance to achieve it for the second time in the playoffs. He is already very good. People can't sum up with Jifeng.
But has the situation really gone so smoothly...
The screen shifted to the home team's locker room, and the old fish who was sprayed by the fans outside was accepting Ji Feng's praise.
"Good job Derek, will continue to play with him later." Ji Feng said with a laugh.
"Hey, he must think it's easy to score tonight, but that guy is really not human, he is too hard!" Fisher rubbed his shoulder.
"Ahem! Please stop your statement! We just need to convince him that he is the best tonight~EbookFREE.me~ Another 5 minutes of playing like this, Xianglong Brown, it's you Performance!" Ji Feng said to Xiangnong who was sitting aside.
"OK! I can't wait!" Shannon Brown said.
"It seems that the atmosphere is good, that's it, keep this rhythm, get the score, and send Thunder home!" The Zen Master said with a smile.
Fifteen minutes later.
The second half began.
It is estimated that no one knows that the Lakers will have such a relaxed atmosphere in these 15 minutes, and Westbrook did not expect that his smooth game will soon usher in changes.
However, the first five minutes is still the same as before. The old fish is getting slower and slower. Westbrook has scored a lot of points through several breakthroughs. Although Ji Feng feels good on the Lakers' side and scores two three-pointers in a row, the difference is still maintained. It took about 1 point.
Finally, the Lakers called a timeout. The Thunder fans had already seen the upset hope at this time, but back on the court, they found that Fisher, who had been playing for so long, was replaced by Shannon Brown, but no one cared, Shannon Brown. Who is it, is Wei Shao so hungry!
Shannon Brown came up to stick to Westbrook. Westbrook felt the difference. Although Shannon Brown was not well-known, his body was definitely strong enough, and his weight also had an advantage. When he was fully defending, Westbrook felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I can!" If Westbrook had definitely passed out to let Durant fight before, but tonight, he played with confidence, no matter what, just do it!
But this time, the Lakers seized the opportunity, and Ji Feng counterattacked and scored. By the way, Durant made a free throw and the Lakers went ahead by two points!
"Wei Shao, brother, it's up to you!" Ji Feng looked at Wei Shao and nodded approvingly.
