Chapter 667: Gao Fengliang Festival

On October 30, two days after the opening game, the Thunder team went to Orlando for the second game of the season.
This game thought there would not be much suspense, because the Magic has not entered the playoffs for several seasons, has been a weak player in the east.
As a result, the Magic made a tenacious resistance to the Thunder at home.
The two sides played two overtimes. They finally relied on Li Liang to receive Westbrook's pass and layup at the last moment. Only then, with 141:139 and 2 points, the Magic had a lore and beat the opponent.
Li Liang scored 33 points, Durant scored 35 points, Westbrook scored 32 points.
The three teamed up to score 100 points!
The three of them worked together to top a Chamberlain.
But the Thunder only won 2 points at a glance. The fastest update computer::/
The problem is defensive?
Not exactly, Magic's offensive feeling tonight is indeed very good.
A lot of Thunder has been defended in place, but the Magic players still threw the ball into the basket.
As for the offense, all three have demonstrated super personal abilities, and the Magic has no way to stop any of them.
The three men scored a hundred points together, but did not suppress the magic from beginning to end.
On the contrary, most of the time the Thunder chase behind.
They made too many mistakes.
After more than one turnover, the position attack was not easy to play, and the three had to stand up and solve the problem by themselves.
Solved the problem, wanted to continue to cooperate with the position, and made mistakes and backwards, and then someone came forward to solve the problem.
A tie in regular time, the first overtime, behind, and finally Durant hit consecutive hits and then tied.
In the second overtime, the Thunder was chasing points again. Finally, Li Liang's steals, plus a layup, finally won the game.
The three played very nicely, unstoppable in the offense.
But the game won is not good-looking, and there is no feeling of destruction.
On the contrary, there is a way of squeezing three people dry.
There are many teams in the NBA history of the three giants.
There are those who have accumulated their own drafts, there are temporary groups, there are new and old matches, there are peak fits.
The Lakers in the 1960s, the Knicks in the 70s, the Lakers, Celtics, and 76ers in the 1980s, the Celtics in 2008, and the Big Three.
No matter what form it is, it is basically impossible for several super players to fuse together and want everyone to play the same data as in the past.
Certainly someone will sacrifice part of the ball and change part of the play.
Li Liang is willing to make sacrifices and changes. In the game, he put more energy into defense, response and cover.
However, this man with too much light can't hide it anywhere.
While playing, Li Liang gradually mastered the situation in the game.
Durant squatted at the bottom corner twice, so he didn't want to squat anymore, and he had to play according to his usual style of play.
Between the top of the arc and 45 degrees, the ball is held midway to attack.
As for Westbrook, as a point guard, he naturally has the advantage of holding the ball. If the rise of killing, he doesn’t care if the king comes, he just wants to do it.
The result of this is that all three are playing intermittently, while others are not good at cooperating.
Everyone runs tactics on the field. After all, they have to run around a point.
As a result, there are three points here, and the two people with them will be particularly passive.
The original Adams and Robertson's autonomous offense ability is very general.
Coupled with these three, they are more passive. Once they are passive, the team's offense can't run.
Just like a car, the engine speed changes as soon as it goes up, and it changes when it goes up.
The three gears changed, and one day the engine was broken.
After playing the game with the Magic, on November 1, the Thunder played for the Nuggets.
Facing the Nuggets with insufficient strength, the Thunder did not play well on the plateau away.
In the first half of the game, they played with the Nuggets inextricably, and Durant and Westbrook's offensive feeling was very general.
It wasn't until the third quarter that the Thunder relied on the power of the bench to pull the points apart and lay the victory.
Compared with the previous two games, the Thunder's bench has played better, and the running of the main lineup is still in progress.
Li Liang got a triple-double in this game, 21 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. This is his first triple-double since he came to the Thunder.
However, he still has 6 turnovers. This is really a bit of Westbrook's 5 turnovers. The two made a total of 11 turnovers, which is a negative double bear.
Durant scored 25 points very efficiently. He made 8 of 11 two-pointers and 3 of 5 three-pointers. His shooting rate was staggering.
In the third game, the three seemed to find a tacit understanding and division of labor.
Li Liang is responsible for overall, Durant is responsible for scoring, Westbrook is responsible for turnovers.
Anyway, if someone needs to make a mistake, it is better to find a person to be responsible and take care of the mistake.
But in the fourth game against the Rockets, everything seemed to be unsuitable again.
This is the third consecutive away game for the Thunder. The NBA's game schedule is also the same. The first game gave the Thunder a home, followed by four away games, including one back to back.
This is the second game back to back.
The Rockets got Dwight Howard in the summer, and the three-game winning streak after the start of the new season is quite inflated.
And they do have reasons for expansion, and the team is really in good shape.
In addition to Howard, the Rockets also got Ty Lawson, who came from the Nuggets trade and felt thriving.
In the face of the powerful Big Three Thunder, James Harden played very well, scoring 40 points!
On the Thunder side, all three were mediocre.
They seem to have negotiated a good deal. If they want to break out, they will break up together. If this happens, the synchronization rate is quite high.
Li Liang was helping his teammates to cope with and cover, but he watched his teammates hitting iron again and again.
By the end of the game, it was too late to recover the defeat.
107:110, the Thunder suffered the first defeat of the new season.
It is necessary for the coaching team headed by Donovan to review how Li Liang should be used to allocate the tasks of the Big Three.
...
After the game, in the Thunder's dressing room, Li Liang refused to be interviewed by reporters and got into the shower to take a shower.
Head coach Donovan was surrounded by reporters, hurriedly said a few words, and then Thunder's locker door was closed.
Obviously, the fourth game lost, for the Thunder, who had high expectations for the beginning of the season, did not meet expectations.
Donovan became the NBA head coach for the first time, and encountered such a lineup. For him, he did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
After watching the team's such a good lineup, but not realizing enough potential, Donovan finally decided to make some changes.
He asked the locker room to close the door, and everyone discussed how to fight later.
But this trick works in college. The players are students and listen to the coach 100%.
In professional teams, the players, especially the stars, have bigger cards than the coaches, and the three giants, Donovan, dare not offend.
Therefore, he can only let Durant and Westbrook put forward their ideas and opinions.
Westbrook is very straightforward, "I don't think we have any problems, we just lost one game, and we will win back in the next game."
Westbrook's self-confidence is no problem, but his ideas are still simpler.
As a competitor, the Warriors won the Rockets away 20 days ago.
Just now, in another field, the Warriors won the Grizzlies at home and won them by 50 points.
The performance of the Warriors is ruined, and the Thunder is stumbling. This should not be the case.
Run-in may be the reason, but run-in cannot only depend on a game, but a constant adjustment and change.
Durant said: "Maybe... maybe our tactics are more teamwork and more collective. We have a lot of tactics, but they are not used."
Durant made some sense.
During the summer training camp, Donovan really tried a lot of tactics, around Li Liang, around Durant, around Westbrook.
As a result, in the regular season, it didn't seem to be played, and the offensive end was fragmented.
Donovan nodded, leaving Li Liang's opinion that the goods were still in the bath.
Li Liang heard the voices of everyone and came out after taking a shower. While wiping her hair, she said, "What's there to discuss? In fact, the solution is very simple.
As soon as Li Liang said, everyone looked at him, and there was something incredible in his eyes.
Play off the bench? This is too high, right?
Li Liang spread his hand and said: "What is the substitute? Isn't it good to get the best sixth man?"
Li Liang said very easily ~EbookFREE.me~ and Durant suddenly felt a burst of tears.
What spirit is this? Is this the legendary spirit of internationalism? It seems to be different from the selfishness of capitalism.
Everyone doesn't dare to believe it. It's just so easy, just casually, substitute?
In fact, they don't understand. How could Li Liang let himself be a substitute.
When I was just taking a shower, Li Liang's eyes lit up, and a task appeared: [Do you want to open the "bench life" task line? 】
Li Liang looked at the bench life? What do you mean? Let me be a substitute? Don't do it, don't turn it on.
Just wanting to veto it, Li Liang turned to think about it, right, bench life is not necessarily a substitute.
Isn't this head coach also sitting on the bench?
OK, then choose [Yes].
