-> -> Two back-to-back games, Westbrook is of course the best in the Thunder.
The previous game against the Pelicans, 24 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists; the next game against the Hawks, 29 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. Westbrook's number of consecutive triple-doubles has come to 6 times, ahead of him is the basketball Michael Jordan's 7 games. Looks like this, the next game will be able to tie the record of His Majesty the trapeze!
Now when people talk about Westbrook, they won’t be surprised that he gets a triple-double in one game. On the contrary, he didn't make a triple-double to surprise everyone! After all, triple-doubles are too simple for him! Scoring in double figures is a breeze for a team boss. It's also easy to assist in double figures. There are three-point shooters like Anluo beside him. Adams and Kanter on the inside are both players who can lay up and finish offensively after receiving the ball. Don't "scratch" a few assists. Don't be too simple! The only difficulty is rebounding. Although Westbrook's rebounding sense is very keen, he must also maintain an active competitive state.
In addition to Westbrook, Anlow was equally good in these two games. Different from Westbrook's all-around, An Luo is the person who has played the most "true" shooting guard so far! A total of 51 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals in the two games. The data is very "quantile"! So far, he has averaged close to 2 rebounds per game, and his assists are just over 1!
It feels like, in addition to scoring and defense, An Luo doesn't want to do anything else.
This is actually a problem with Donovan's use of Anro. To give full play to his scoring ability, the Thunder has no shortage of passers, let alone guns and rebounds. An Luo could grab one or two, but the ball fell in front of him.
After these two games, An Luo's scoring average has reached 22 points. In the scoring list, he advanced 2 places. Nowadays, many people put Westbrook and Anlow together when they mentioned the Thunder's double guns in the backcourt. As for the starter Oladipo, although he averaged 16.3 points per game, he was still a bit worse. However, he can play a role in more tactical systems, which An Luo does not possess.
In general, the three Thunder defenders have their own strengths. Enough for them to deal with most situations. But if it comes to the playoffs, or compared with the Cavaliers, Warriors, and Spurs, their frontline is simply too shabby! This is what the Thunder is most worried about now. It's impossible to let An Luo go to the third position every time!
Actually, this is no wonder the Thunder's management, they didn't expect An Luo to be so good. If the trading time is put to the present, I will definitely not change Oladipo over! With Ibaka's value, it is easy to change to the league for a strong striker.
After a few days of rest, the Thunder welcomed an old friend on the 10th!
James Harden was the first to leave the Thunder. It is said that he just wants an extra 6 million dollars! But in fact, money is only a small part of the reason. In fact, Harden left the Thunder mainly because the Thunder did not give him enough respect.
The situation at the time was that the Thunder were willing to renew Harden for 4 years and $56 million, but they only gave the other party an hour to consider whether to accept the contract. This made Harden feel that his dignity was trampled on!
In addition, the Thunder had just renewed Ibaka. And their tactics are centered around Durant and Westbrook. Harden doesn't have too much possession and can only be pushed on the bench as the best sixth man.
Dignity and status, plus some money, finally made Harden leave Oklahoma and go to Houston.
This is the first time Harden has returned to the Chesapeake Energy Arena this season. And the team he leads has become stronger this season. Leaving Kardashian and staying away from the nightclub, Harden became very serious. Under the arrangement of coach D'Antoni, Harden, who played the point guard, became stronger. Whether it is team leadership or scoring ability, they are no worse than Durant and Westbrook, and there are even signs of surpassing these two.
Harden is no longer the third brother of the year! On the official mvp list, Westbrook holds the top spot. Second is the third brother James Harden, followed by Durant in third. The three thunder young masters in the past are all amazing now!
In the first half of the season, in terms of three-pointers, the Warriors with the Tsunami Brothers are definitely the most threatening. The Thunder with Anlo is almost the most stable, and Harden’s Rockets definitely make the most.
D'Antoni's drastic reforms in Houston, he combined his running and bombing tactics in the Suns with the league's increasingly popular three-pointers, turning this team into a team that can shoot three-pointers more than the Warriors in 15 years. Especially the star Harden, the change is so big that people feel staggering! He is certainly not the most accurate three-pointer, but he can't hold up to more than ten or even twenty shots per game!
In D'Antoni's theory ~EbookFREE.me~ the player must choose the most efficient offensive method possible is to attack the basket. And three-pointers are more cost-effective than CIC, so they will take a lot of outside three-pointers to reduce CIC. All players must shoot three points! Even if the hand feels bad, try to shoot three points. After all, as long as you cast enough, the number of hits will increase.
For every three-pointer, D'Antoni is the best head coach in the world. An Luo thinks so too. He admires Harden very much, and casts whatever he wants! With his shooting percentage, he scored 20 three-pointers in a game, which is almost 30 points!
Unfortunately, such a tactic is a regular season tactic. Just like the Suns back then, even if they get the best record in the regular season, it is difficult to reach the finals.
But this game is a great test for the Thunder. You know, the Rockets are also powerful. In the last game, they beat the Lakers by 39 points. They have won all 4 games since entering December. In these 4 games, their scoring average reached a staggering 125.3 points!
This must be a hard fight. No matter which side, don't want to lose!
Donovan especially emphasized the defense of the outside line. The opponent's offensive firepower is too strong, and he has to be cautious!
However, An Luo's main task in this game is not defense, but offense. Passive defense is not Donovan's style. He has carefully studied the opposing team's game video. Their defense is not very good, but is covered by strong offensive firepower. He believes that Anluo's three-pointer can give the team enough help.
