Chapter 377: Warm-heartedness (4/5)

The performance of the first half of the first quarter became a microcosm of the first half of the two teams.
The Thunder scored 55 points in the first half, relying on the ability of double-less, the offensive end is basically at a normal level.
Under normal circumstances, they are a few points ahead of their opponents.
However, their performance on the defensive end was obviously abnormal, or that they did nothing to get Tang Hao.
Tang Hao alone, in the first half, scored a double-double of 18 points and 13 assists, and the previous scoring madman is two, but turned into an assist master.
This performance was surprising, and it was with his play that the Lakers led the Thunder by 5 points at the end of the half.
"Scott, the Lakers' role players feel good in the first half, but they can't maintain their feel for the whole game." At the halftime break, the Thunder's assistant coach John Treb told Brooks.
Hearing Treb’s words, Brooks nodded in a sudden enlightenment. Tang Hao’s scoring ability was very strong, but the situation in the first half was not a matter of his tactical strategy, but the feelings of other Lakers players.
As long as they stick to the strategy, the Thunder can still easily win the game.
"Guys, in the first half of the game, everyone did very well. In the second half, we still have to stick to defensive strategies." Brooks said to the players after entering the locker room.
As soon as this was finished, Westbrook and Durant glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw a trace of dissatisfaction.
Brooks noticed this, and then added: "The Lakers shot more than 60% in the first half. They can't always be so accurate in the second half."
Durant smiled helplessly at this time, and placed the winner of the game on the opponent's feel. This approach is really not very suitable for a team that is determined to win the championship.
Westbrook also obviously had something to say at this time, but he endured not speaking directly.
After Brooks had finished speaking in the midfield, and after turning around to leave the locker room, Westbrook followed up and caught up.
"Coach." Westbrook shouted directly at Brooks.
"Russell, is there something wrong?" Brooks looked at Westbrook suspiciously.
"Yes, I don't think we should do that anymore. We shouldn't put expectations on the opponent's feel. In case the opponent's feel is still hot, aren't we wasting our strength on the defensive end?" Westbrook's tone of dissatisfaction It is clear.
Brooks frowned, even though he knew Westbrook had such a personality, but this face-to-face question made him a little uncomfortable.
"This is not to put hope on the opponent. The Lakers feel good in the first half. Many of them are shot because of open space. In the second half, we increased the rotation speed and we can completely limit it."
"Coach, our co-defense is fast enough. Choosing a double-team is such a result." Westbrook has a tough attitude.
"Russell." Brooks's tone also changed a little. "You saw it in the first half. Don't get caught. Don will tear up our defense."
"Now he has torn our defense!" Westbrook said aggravatedly.
Brooks breathed heavily, looking at Westbrook and saying, "Then what do you say is the better choice?"
"Offense, offense is what we are good at. We opened up to fight with them. Our hope of winning is great. The Los Angeles people have only one Tang Hao. What are we afraid of?"
Brooks was silent, although Westbrook's words were direct, but it wasn't totally unreasonable.
"Coach, let me defend Tang Hao." Westbrook saw Brooks' attitude change and patted his chest.
"Let's try it first, and if the situation is the same as the first half, we will give up the team." Brooks said.
Westbrook and Durant are the Thunder's biggest assets. Brooks naturally knows this, and he chose a middle way.
Westbrook nodded. Although his temper was directly irritable, Brooks's proposal had already accepted his proposal.
Back in the locker room, Westbrook found Durant. After the two exchanged, Durant also approved the proposal.
Back in the second half, home fans' emotions are still high.
Although they were unable to see Tang Hao's 101-point performance, they were able to see Tang Hao's impressive pass for the first time, and they were totally worth it.
After suspending the Lakers' offensive round, Jeremy Lin advanced the ball.
After playing a few pick-and-rolls, the ball went to Tang Hao again.
As soon as Tang Hao received the ball, Durant's defense came up.
Tang Hao's hundred steps through Yang Zhili played a role, clearly seeing his teammates' running position and scoring opportunities, a blow to the earth directly passed under Durant's crotch and passed to Kelly on the right.
Fans on the scene were excited. Tang Hao returned not only to pass the ball in the second half, but also to show.
Kelly got a three-point open opportunity.
Kelly is a spatial power forward with little sense of presence, but it can be called a spatial power forward, and he certainly has the ability to shoot three-pointers.
"Uh~"
There are not many shooting opportunities in a game. This kind of vacancy is even more rare. He has no psychological burden and just shoots out.
The discomfort on Durant's face was already quite obvious.
In the next few rounds, the Thunder still carried out a plan to include Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was also polite. He sent five assists in a row, and the Lakers also played a wave of 10 to 4 to pull the score difference to double digits.
In the enthusiastic cheers of home fans, the Lakers role players' open field goal percentage remained fairly stable.
After the Thunder's suspension, Durant snapped a seat with anger and saw that he was quite dissatisfied with the team's tactics.
Westbrook has a chest with intense skin, and can feel the team playing like this again, and he will fall into a rage next second.
"We need to change the tactics and tactics, no longer use the bag, Russell, you defend Tang, Kevin, you lead the attack."
Brooks said this, Westbrook and Durant's emotions were clearly stabilized, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.
The team that is determined to win the championship was hit by a fish-meat team. They have been holding their strength for a long time, and now they can finally let go of their hands and feet to play. They want to play immediately.
Pause back the Thunder's offense.
Westbrook rushed to the basket with a pick-and-roll and carried Kelly's tough layup.
The goal also caused Kelly's defensive foul.
After the goal was scored, Westbrook yelled in excitement and beat his chest hard.
The fans were restless. Westbrook was known for his passion for playing. He played well in the front. This pause came back, as if the blood switch was turned on, and the battle was full.
With a steady hit and a penalty, Westbrook helped the team chase the single-digit difference.
On the Lakers' offense, Jeremy Lin pretended to go to the basket and scored a goal to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao held the ball and immediately noticed that the Thunder's defense had changed.
The defender in front of him turned from Robertson to Westbrook, and there was no double-team.
A faint look flashed in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, very few teams will let their own team's offensive core be used to defend the opponent's offensive core, even if the player's defensive ability is excellent.
Because the player's physical strength is limited, too much effort is put on the defensive end, and the success rate of the offensive end will naturally decline.
Such as Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, are all defensive starters, but after becoming the core of the team, they rarely mark the opponent's arrow scorer.
Brooks used Westbrook to mark him, and the only explanation was that he would fight the bayonet fight.
Tang Hao immediately chose to break through Westbrook after analyzing the situation.
Westbrook followed Tang Hao, he became famous early, and his scoring ability was outstanding, covering his defensive ability.
At this time, close to Tang Hao, the defensive effect was not inferior to Robertson.
Tang Hao was also surprised, but that was all.
He used Nitian's physical control ability, after a continuous change of direction, he quickly found himself space to shoot.
He slowed down, followed by another acceleration, squeezed away Westbrook, and jumped with one hand after jumping.
Westbrook was squeezed away, but did not give up, rushed out from the side, reaching for the ball to be forcibly blocked.
Tang Hao felt a huge resistance from the side, but he did not give up the dunk. The whole person tried again and directly hit Westbrook, pushing the ball toward the basket with one hand.
Westbrook was too late to dodge and was ridden directly by Tang Hao.
"boom!"
Tang Hao directly hooked Westbrook and pushed the ball into the rim.
The audience's eyes widened at the scene, and Westbrook scored a tough score in front. Tang Hao was deducted this time, or one was deducted, which was carried!
After Tang Hao landed, he was not as excited as Westbrook did. He turned around and saw that the referee did not sound the whistle, so he turned and walked back.
Fans on the scene followed a riot.
If Westbrook is a fire, Tang Hao is now a piece of ice. When the two meet, it becomes a song of ice and fire.
The Thunder's attack, Westbrook directly forced Jeremy Lin, his eyes full of anger, directly hit Kelly who opened the defense, and the two rushed out of the field.
The referee awarded Kelly a blocking foul.
Westbrook glanced at Kelly when he got up and made two free throws on the free throw line to help the Thunder catch up.
Looking back, it was Westbrook who still stared at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao singled out Westbrook and made a sudden stop jumper after changing his direction continuously.
Westbrook jumped into interference, but the height was obviously not enough, Tang Hao hit a steady jumper.
The bottom line was sent out, Westbrook held the ball quickly to the frontcourt, and did not wait for his teammates to come up and rushed to the basket.
Kelly, who helped defend this time, was well-behaved this time. He had been waiting there for a long time. As Westbrook rushed up, his hands protecting his crotch, he stood straight ahead.
The two collided together and flew out of the field together again.
The referee reached for a finger and Westbrook's offensive foul!
Westbrook got up and saw the referee's gesture, and immediately jumped up, rushed to the referee and shouted and yelled.
The referee was polite and flicked his hand to give a technical foul.
Westbrook also wanted to argue, being caught by Durant, and kept talking in his ear.
In this ice-fire contest, the fire started to get out of control first.
Tang Hao's face was still calm, and he hit a technical free throw after going to the frontcourt. This is not counted. He waited for the sideline to serve the ball, and he took a teammate to pass the ball and hit it.
Unlike Westbrook, Tang Hao's ice remained quite calm at this time.
Brooks smiled bitterly and helplessly.
The Thunder took the best offense. From the moment, they still didn't get any benefits. Instead, Tang Hao easily entered the scoring mode.
The Thunder's offense may be what Durant said. Westbrook stabilized his rhythm. After the breakthrough, he rarely chose a score.
The ball is divided into Durant's hands, Durant catches the ball and shoots, hits a large two points.
Although he didn't touch the ball for a while, he still maintained a good feel.
When the Lakers attacked, Tang Hao broke through Westbrook with little luck and the ball went in and slid out.
The Thunder counterattacked, Westbrook scored another goal to Durant, Durant shot and then shot.
Brooks shouted excitedly.
The team finally got the effect he wanted.
It can be seen from these two rounds that Durant should let Westbrook give him the shot in the previous exchange.
In the next few rounds, the two sides completely entered the battle.
Westbrook and Durant calmed down, and against Tang Hao, both sides maintained a fairly high offensive success rate.
Durant throws in one here, and Tang Hao is a violent torture box. Westbrook made a layup and scored two points. Tang Hao backed up with a graceful shot.
When you come and go to score, the fans are also hooked.
It wasn't until Tang Hao's end of the game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ that this kind of confrontation between the two sides came to an end.
"40 points and 20 assists, call!"
When Tang Hao just got off the court, a fan suddenly exclaimed.
The people who watched the front of the battle intently did not change their eyes. Only when Tang Hao came to an end, someone noticed the technical statistics. When Tang Hao's data of 40 plus 20 was seen, he was shocked by the fact.
In the previous few games, Tang Hao did not add up to 20 assists in total. In this game, he took 20 assists in three quarters. This kind of role switching cannot be achieved by ordinary people!
To put it simply, this is not a question of ability, but it is simply a question of ideas. If you want to score, you can score, and you can assist if you want to pass. This ability, which is easy to handle, is not without in the history of NBA, but it can be played to this extent. This is definitely the first person in history who has no one before and no one to come!
And there is a game!
At this time, the emotions of the fans on the scene have reached a point of excitement, a new record belonging to the rookie, and it will be born soon! ()
