Chapter 883 [1 Weakness, 1 Turtle Law]

The Thunder attacked. Wei Shao forced a breakthrough and was double-teamed. He passed the ball to Robertson in the bottom corner. The latter took an open shot and the ball bounced out of the basket. The rebound was grabbed by Jokic.

During the Clippers' triangle offense, Antetokounmpo received a pass from Jokic with his back, leaned on Robertson and turned to the baseline. He turned sideways and made a hook gesture with his right hand, but did not jump.

His height of 211cm and wingspan gave Robertson the illusion that his opponent had already taken off. He quickly jumped up to block the shot, but unfortunately he was staggered.

Antetokounmpo took the ball back, jumped forward and bumped into Robertson, and picked up the basket with his left hand. Robertson reacted quickly and fouled hard, preventing him from throwing the ball to the basket comfortably.

Antetokounmpo made two solid free throws, 6-0.

Antetokounmpo is the real "big devil" of the Clippers. He has the advantage of height and wingspan. His weight has increased from 89 kilograms when he first entered the league to 104 kilograms. He looks much stronger than Durant in terms of muscles. In fact, he weighs more than Durant. It's a little lighter, which shows how low its fat content is! He can protect the basketball with his back, he can turn around as nimbly as a defender, and when he shoots, he needs a top insider to block the shot.

Although he mainly plays two-pointers, Antetokounmpo is very efficient. Not only does he have a high shooting percentage, he can also draw fouls. The ability to cause damage to opponents is an important criterion for whether a star is dominant. This ability has improved year by year.

After being beaten three times in a row, Donovan couldn't make a substitution. This was already the Thunder's best wing defending.

With Robertson on the court, there is someone who can be left open on the offensive end. The Clippers continue to flank Wei Shao, and Wei Shao passes to Oladipo. The Clippers players do not miss anyone. The latter passes to Robertson, and the Clippers players shrink and ignore it. Two meters away.

Robertson took the ball in the open space on the right side of the three-point line and did not dare to shoot, waiting for Wei Shao to move to respond. Wei Shao received the ball and failed to make a breakthrough again, and passed it to Adams who was cutting in the middle. The latter hit Draymond hard, but failed to squeeze into the basket due to his body, and his half hook missed due to interference.

Robertson's advantage is that he is cheap, much like Sefolosha back then. His contract expires this year, and the Thunder will never offer him a big contract, with an annual salary of 10 million at most.

It's okay to say that Robertson is a "defensive expert". He defends cleanly and is highly oppressive on outside players. He rarely gets fouled. He has a lateral movement ability at the outside gate level, good shot-blocking awareness, and is also good at grabbing rebounds.

However, his offensive end is extremely poor. He averaged 30.1 minutes per game in the regular season, only 6.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1 assist. His shooting percentage was 46.4%, 24.5% from three-point range, and only 42.3% from free throws.

As a small forward, he is not only the target of being frequently left out, but he relies on picking up missed points to score. Opponents can also use "shark-cutting tactics" against him at critical moments. This is a weakness of the Thunder.

When the Clippers attacked, Curry still moved to attract the defense and create opportunities for his teammates. Draymond's three-pointer from the middle missed the basket. Only Antetokounmpo grabbed the offensive rebound, and the others quickly returned to defense.

Wei Shao picked up a rebound and went on a fast break. He faced Danny Green in the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer. He was actually half a basketball player and half a basketball player. He was not 100% like Kobe. He was half a shooter like Curry. He is very determined and dares to throw it at someone, but he is not allowed to do so.

The ball bounced out of the frame and Jokic easily grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Clippers attacked, and Jokic passed to Antetokounmpo. He turned around and missed the shot. Wei Shao got the backcourt rebound and rushed forward at full speed. Although his teammates had a low chance of receiving the ball, they had to rush with him. .

The four Clippers quickly returned to defense. Curry and Danny Green double-teamed Wei Shao, forcing him to pass the ball to Oladipo on the left periphery, who quickly shot and hit. 6 to 3.

Oladipo is also a star. In Yang Rui's previous life, he averaged 24+5+4 per game after joining the Pacers, and his shooting percentage was almost in the 180 club, which was the lowest free throw shooting rate.

The Clippers players double-teamed Wei Shao according to the tactics required by Yang Rui. This series is to strictly prevent Wei Shao from scoring and let others shoot. Analyzing the performance of Thunder players in the regular season, the coaching staff discovered a pattern. As long as Wei Shao reaches double figures in rebounds and assists, he will switch to scoring desperately.

The Clippers' defense will become easier and more targeted.

On the contrary, if Wei Shao feels hot and scores in double figures first, it will not be easy to defend, and the Thunder is likely to blossom more. Because Wei Shao will become the most selfless player in the league. He is selfless to the point that sometimes no one is guarding him.

This season, Wei Shao has been selected into TNT's top five embarrassments three times by not making empty layups and forcing passes. By letting his teammates avoid backcourt rebounds, Wei Shao has been in the top five embarrassments several times.

In addition, during the game between the Warriors and the Thunder, after receiving Oladipo's serve, Wei Shao communicated with Oladipo and gave instructions. He walked from the backcourt to the center circle with the basketball in his arms. This ball was voted on online Among them, 88% of fans believe that the season is the most embarrassing. Regardless of whether he can get the regular season MVP, Wei Shao has already locked up the five most embarrassing MVPs.

The advantage of him playing this way is that he can increase assists. Under the arrangement of the coaching staff, his teammates are very cooperative. They usually take action immediately after receiving the ball and rarely take an extra step. If someone takes two extra steps, Wei Shao might shout excitedly: "Quick shot!"

Okay, that's it... What do you mean he's not a brush? Is it a mop?

The Clippers attacked, and the formation spread out and the players actively ran tactics. Curry attracted the defense and passed to Jokic who was cutting in the air. The latter then attracted Adams to cover up and passed to Draymond outside the three-point line in the middle, leaving a big open space. This time Draymond made the shot. 9 to 3.

After that, the Clippers relied on the selfless cooperation between the players to remain efficient and suppress the Thunder, leading 31 to 21 in the first quarter.

Wei Shao played the entire quarter, making 1 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 4 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Robertson performed at a superb level today and hit two three-pointers in a single quarter. Otherwise, the Thunder would definitely not be able to score 20 points.

The best performer for the Clippers was Antetokounmpo, who made 5 of 8 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists; Curry also scored 10 points and hit two three-pointers.

The Thunder's defensive strength is good, and the Clippers players are serious about running tactics. 31 points is not too much, but they have no good way to deal with Antetokounmpo. It is difficult to defend alone, so they can only help defend.

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes, and the point difference quickly widened to 20 points. LaVine singled out Norris Cole for an opportunity. After picking and rolling with Whiteside in the middle, he attracted the inside to change defense, distributed the ball to the middle, and hit the basket with the white side. Cole couldn't help it.

With Whiteside on the bench, the Clippers' inside advantage is too obvious. The opponent must have a big man to mark him, otherwise he will dunk as soon as he gets out of position and gets into the basket. Unfortunately, the Thunder only have a center with excellent defense in Adams.

In Yang Rui's previous life, because he won two championships with the Heat as soon as he entered the league, many fans discussed Cole's historical status. He does not have such good luck in this life. People usually discuss who he can guard at 188cm tall and 77kg.

The Thunder do not lack three-pointers, but they lack 3D players. Those who can shoot three-pointers have poor defense, and those who are good at defense lack shooting range. The situation is embarrassing.

Donovan hopes that the substitute can play for a while to allow Wei Shao to regain his strength. His quick offense-defense transition style of play cannot sustain the entire game. In the regular season, he averaged no more than 35 minutes per game.

The gap between the two teams' substitutes was obvious. Wei Shao could only rest for 4 minutes before coming back. He was eager to catch up with the score, made poor shot choices, and continued to hit jump shots. Westbrook was also double-teamed in the positional battle. He made many mistakes in passing the ball to the basket, and then was beaten back.

The Clippers went on a 15-3 run, but only Wei Shao from the Thunder made a three-pointer, and the point difference quickly widened to more than 30 points.

Before halftime was over, the Clippers had secured the victory.
