"Boys, your defense needs to be a little more cohesive in that No. 19 rookie off the ball."
"It is necessary to judge his landing point in time."
"If you wait for him to get in position with the help of his teammate's screen, and then go to cover the defense, it will be too late."
"Westbrook, when you attack the basket, in addition to attacking the basket, you should also leave some spare energy for yourself to find your teammates and make your offense more diversified. Only in this way can your breakthrough threat be more Dahua."
"Otherwise, like what has happened so far, Stoudemire always catches the last moment of your jump to disturb you."
"I—" Westbrook was about to speak.
"I know that your body is strong enough to support you to face the defense and still score. But that defender is Stoudemire. He is nearly [-] centimeters taller than you. His defense will pull your efficiency down. to the bottom."
"..." Westbrook was silent.
"Do you understand, I need you to observe your teammates and find opportunities for assists while attacking the inside."
"Understood……"
Coach Brooks nodded. He valued Westbrook's talent, but for now, this player's style of play is relatively simple, and he doesn't have enough passing awareness. This needs to be adjusted slowly.
Brooks may not have imagined that some players' style of play has been finalized since the first day they landed in the NBA. In the end, Westbrook failed to become what Brooks wanted to see throughout his career.
……
Compared to the worried coach of the Thunder, worried that Lin Feidu would continue to tear apart the defense on the court, Erwin said: "Lin, come down and rest for a few minutes."
"Coach?" Nash looked at Irwin in surprise.
From the results of Lin Feidu's off-ball running position, it is obvious that it can tear the opponent's overall defense, but Irwin wants to replace him. Nash doesn't understand what is going on.
"He has more difficult tasks." Erwin smiled mysteriously.
"..."
Facing Erwin's series of arrangements, Lin Feidu smiled lightly and said nothing.
"Then, when Lin is off the court, Nash and Stoudemire need to use our conventional pick-and-roll tactics to bombard the opponent. Except Durant's scoring is relatively good, no one else can pose a threat to us."
"And even if Durant's scoring keeps climbing, we don't care, as long as we try to interfere with him. I've never heard that one person can beat a team!-not to mention, he's facing Our Suns."
beep! !
Pause time is up.
"Lin Feidu was replaced and rested?!"
"When Lin Feidu is on the court, the Suns have a relatively large tactical advantage."
"Why did you replace him?!"
The fans were at a loss for what the Suns had done.
"Great, that guy is going down." The Thunder's defensive ace Sefoloza secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't want to admit in his heart that he couldn't defend Lin Feidu, the truth was that he couldn't do anything about Lin Feidu's off-the-ball movement.
Of course, the responsibility does not lie with him, but with the exception of him, the others simply cannot keep up with Lin Feidu's rhythm, and cannot predict where Lin Feidu will fall.In this way, it will put a lot of pressure on Sefolosha, and even if Sefolosha predicts Lin Feidu's movements by himself, he will not be able to keep up due to enough interference.
Not only Sefolosha breathed a sigh of relief, but so did the rest of the Thunder.
Lin Feidu's movement was so wicked that he appeared next to him inadvertently.
Let's make up for it, my own people missed it, maybe Nash's pass will come right away.
Don't make up for it. When Sefoloza was blocked by others, Lin Feidu had an open space, and he basically made one shot.
tangled...
"Hurry up and chase points!"
The defensive end was finally relaxed, and Westbrook immediately became excited.
Durant on the side obviously had an excellent long two-point opportunity, but Westbrook was already carrying the basketball like a dynamite bag and rushed to the inside.
Stoudemire and Frye immediately closed the door.
Facing the close of two big men.
Westbrook was not afraid at all, and he rose up with a tomahawk.
"here we go again!!"
Coach Brooks on the sidelines was speechless.
boom!
The ball went off!
Facing the pincer attack of the big man Frye and the super defense expert Stoudemire, how could this ball be scored.
Frye was knocked to the ground, he got up and signaled to the referee that the ball was an offensive foul.
Seeing this, the referee blew the whistle!
This ball is indeed an offensive foul.
Westbrook held out his hand for innocence.
"Come back to defense!!" Brooks shouted helplessly on the sidelines.
The ball was definitely an offensive foul. Both Frye and Stoudemire stood outside the reasonable confrontation zone ahead of time, and Westbrook still stubbornly rushed in. Isn't this a foul? !
"Pass! Pass!!" Brooks reminded Westbrook loudly.
……
Westbrook heard the coach's request to pass the ball, and nodded to indicate that the coach would do it himself.
But every time he rushed up, he put the coach's words behind him.
Originally, they wanted to take advantage of Lin Feidu's absence to narrow the gap.
Being played by Westbrook, the score came to 51:42
When the point difference reached 9 points, it was a close call, and the point difference was about to break through to double digits.
beep! !
Brooks made a substitution and replaced Westbrook.
I wanted Durant to come down and take a rest, but considering the point difference, Durant was allowed to continue playing on the court.
After Westbrook left the field, there was mixed joy and sorrow. The good news is that finally no one is going to limit Durant's offense.
The worry is that if the burden of offense is all placed on Durant alone, I am afraid that for him, it will also squeeze his physical fitness too much.
"Harden, you go!"
So Brooks put James Harden on the court.
……
When James Harden came on the stage, Erwin turned his head to look at Lin Feidu and said, "It's your turn, Lin."
"OK!!" Lin Feidu chuckled and strode towards the field.
"Lin Feidu is on the stage!"
"Is he going to match up with James Harden?!"
Fans are eagerly discussing.
Even though Harden is only a substitute for the Thunder, he was already full of Ms before entering the NBA.
"Harden and Lin Feidu are players in the same class, and Harden is the No. [-] show."
"Although Lin Feidu is a point guard, in the Suns' double point guard tactics, the defender he faces is usually the opponent's shooting guard."
"The two of them will face each other directly!!"
……
Contrary to the eager emotions of the fans, Brooks frowned after seeing Lin Feidu appearing on the field following Harden.
He pondered for a while, then raised his head and continued to look at the game!
After Harden came on the field, he started to kill Lin Feidu with the ball.
They are all rookies in the 09 class, so there is no reason not to hit you.
Today, he is not like what he did later, taking a step back and stepping back to the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer.
After catching the ball at the mid-range position, he dribbled the ball at Lin Feidu and made two fake shots.
Later Harden seldom used this dry-drawing method.
However, during this period, Harden and other shooting guards were keen on this trick on the court, and they were usually influenced by the league's No.1 Kobe Bryant.
After Harden attacked and scored, he immediately retreated.
Lin Feidu approached with the ball, and Harden followed up to two meters away from the three-point line.
call out!
Lin Feidu accelerated and passed him directly.
After the pass, Lin Feidu hit the basket and helped Fei Stoudemire complete an alley-oop.
The Thunder attacked again.
On the Thunder side, it is better to give Harden an extra attack in order to relieve some pressure on Durant.
On the Sun's side, Lin Feidu also handed over the offensive task to Lin Feidu.
"Is it now a rivalry show for the 09 rookies?"
The fans were hooked.
If you attack me, I will go on stage.
Harden was originally a player who won the NBA No. [-] show with offense, and with Durant opening up the space for him, his offense was even more released.
And he is left-handed. For any defensive player, defending left-handers will always feel uncomfortable.
There were even two times when he rushed inside, Xiao Si clearly had the right to stay in the air, but he still sent the ball into the net.
Harden's scoring explosive power has been revealed since his rookie period.
"Harden scored fiercely."
"As expected of a flower exploration show!"
Some fans exclaimed.
"It's the forest!"
Lin Feidu faced Harden with the ball on the three-point line. He took a step forward with three threats, and then directly stepped back to throw the ball.
Swish!
The ball goes in.
"Harden's defense can't restrain Lin Feidu at all!"
Home fans cheer.
"That's right!"
"Harden can't prevent Lin Feidu at all!"
Erwin looked into the field.
Since Lin Feidu and Harden played together, Lin Feidu's offensive efficiency has reached the highest in the game.
Harden's defense is much worse than Sefoloza's.
When Sefoloza was on the court, Lin Feidu hardly played singles, but ran without the ball.
When playing Harden, Lin Feidu turned into playing with his arms open.
"It's said that Harden's defense is poor, and he mainly defends with his eyes. In fact, it's not—"
"To be more precise, the root cause of Harden's defensive eyes is that Harden's defense is not focused."
"He was always easily distracted by one or two transfers of the ball, and what I was good at was moving the ball."
Lin Feidu analyzed Harden's defense from the bottom of his heart.
For example, the three-pointer with a step back just now was able to score easily because in the first two offenses, he immediately chose to pass the ball after the three-threat probe.
So Harden subconsciously chose to relax when facing Lin Feidu's probing steps for the third time.
……
beep! !
Halftime is over.
63:52
After Harden played, the point difference widened from 9 points to 11 points.
For the Suns, the rhythm of scoring did not explode too much, because when Sefoloza was defending Lin Feidu, although Lin Feidu's personal scoring was limited, he affected the Thunder's overall defense. Scoring for others has become very easy.
Lin Feidu's personal score increased to 17 points during this period, most of which were scored against Harden at the end of the second quarter.
And Harden also scored 7 points in just a few minutes.
At this time, Harden's style of play was different from his later self-cultivation style. Now he can run and jump in the air, and even fought against Stoudemire several times.
You know, it's nothing to be amazed to fight against Lin Feidu, but it's amazing to fight against Stoudemire, and that's the proof of physical talent.
During the intermission, coach Brooks adjusted Durant's position and arranged for Durant to play shooting guard.
"The Suns' team defense system is relatively complete. At present, you can pick individuals to tear them apart. Nash and Lin Feidu are the two weakest links in their defense. You play the position you are good at. At the point of shooting guard, go to attack. Lin Feidu."
The reason why Brooks arranged this way is because Durant played shooting guard before playing small forward this season.
Of course, several people in the Suns talk about defense, but Nash's defense is actually the worst.
But letting Durant play the point guard is not enough. Today's Durant is still gradually perfecting his dribbling, so it is not easy to play the point guard.
The Suns' locker room has also roughly made some arrangements.
They are more discussing how to contain Durant.
"Let him shoot in the most uncomfortable position, and start giving him strong confrontation when he is off the ball, making him uncomfortable."
Irvine made arrangements for Durant's thin bamboo pole, asking Richardson to give more physical contact to make him uncomfortable.
At this time in 09, Durant really didn't like to confront others.
The second half of the game started quickly.
"Durant playing guard?!"
Lin Feidu looked at him in surprise.
In this way, Lin Feidu formed the most direct matchup with Durant.
call out!
call out!
call out!
Durant started an unreasonable offensive mode.
Frequently projected above Lin Feidu's head.
"This guy……"
Lin Feidu, who was beaten by Durant's frequent attacks, couldn't help being speechless.
"Durant really hits everyone indiscriminately singles. Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as high as him."
"Among the small men, only the mad dog Bei Foli and Tucker of later generations have become relatively successful existences in the process of defending Durant."
"Taker's defense against Durant was relatively successful. It was not like everyone said at the time that he used moves beyond the basketball itself. He used various foul moves to stop Durant..."
Thinking of this, Lin Feidu couldn't help but glance at his teammate Nash.
More than ten years later, Nash will become Durant's team coach, and later Nash called Tucker's defense against Durant as: "It's a dirty move that surpasses basketball, and it's going to kill Durant."
Lin Feidu does not agree with this point, instead of looking at one or two missed fouls, look at the overall game.
In fact, Tucker's defense against Durant was very good and very successful.
His moves didn't go beyond the game of basketball itself.
Tucker didn't step up his feet, didn't pull Durant's arm, everything he did was to use his body to fight against Durant physically, and Durant really couldn't bear him. defense.
"Try according to Tucker's defensive method!!"
Lin Feidu clenched his fists, let out a low growl to cheer himself up, and headed towards Durant who came over with the ball.
