The two sides quickly showed the different styles of the two teams on both ends of the offense and defense in half a quarter.

The Spurs are still regular, and every tactic is running well. At the same time, the combination of speed and speed is good. It's just that Parker's state has fallen sharply and it is difficult to take the pace.

The Thunder should be free and unrestrained, but only half of the time, freedom is seen, and there is no shadow of unrestrained temporarily.

This is one of Donovan's current worries. There are too many tactics around the three players.

As a result, it’s like trying everything, and it’s a waste to whoever takes the lead.

Therefore, the Thunder played very freely, but did not completely "turn", which is also a problem that the new lineup team will face.

They also need to run in.

Soon, the more skilled Spurs began to take advantage.

Wiggins was not afraid of facing Durant in the attack, and directly hit the ball with a three-pointer.

In the summer, under the guidance of Popovich, Wiggins conducted a lot of three-pointers training.

The bad old man said "I don't like three-pointers" every day, but he uses them to be more skilled than anyone else.

Westbrook missed a three-point vacancy and was again beeped by Li Liang.

Following that, Wiggins caused Adams' foul on the offensive and made two free throws.

Li Liang missed a long distance from the outside, and in return Ade hit a long distance from the outside.

The Spurs played more and more smoothly, while the Thunder played a bit late.

Soon, the Spurs took a 14:6 lead and pulled the difference to 8 points.

This is a bit surprising.

Donovan called a timeout.

As the so-called monk picks water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, three monks have no water to drink.

There are three offensive engines in the Thunder field, but I don’t know how to fight.

Durant wanted to attack on his own, but he felt like grabbing the ball like this, it seems not very good. After entering one, he started to pass.

Li Liang thought, this is the first quarter, I'm in a hurry, you fight, let me cover you.

Westbrook wanted to fight on his own, but he always refused to enter.

So Westbrook, who had always been bold, was a little hesitant.

The most fearful thing about basketball games is hesitation. Every move and tactic is completed in a blink of an eye. Fighters are always fleeting.

What's more, the opponent is an old team like the Spurs.

Although the Spurs have new members, Ade and Wiggins played decisively.

It can be seen that Popovich's arrangement is to let these two newcomers take the lead, and a few old people do the auxiliary work.

After last year's tempering and the guidance of Popovich in the summer, Wiggins obviously made a lot of progress in all aspects.

And Ade maintains a good state, coupled with personality reasons, it seems to be very suitable for the new team.

The Thunder is different here. Donovan does not have such a high authority. When the suspension is suspended, watching the Big Three is a little dazed.

"Speak, it's stupid." Li Liang reminded Dono not to rub it.

Donovan is also very tangled in his heart. Is it really according to Mike Brown that the layout is random, Li Liang will always adapt?

To be honest, his code is inaccurate. Even the boss likes Li Liang very much, and he has no reason not to use Li Liang as the core to build tactics.

But what about Durant? Let him run without the ball? What about Westbrook?

Do you want to give him low singles or double screen?

These problems that should have been solved in the preseason, in the regular season, Donovan still did not understand.

After all, he just started taking over the Thunder this year and coached the NBA professional team for the first time.

As a college-based academic coach, Donovan's ability is no problem, the NCAA champion is proof.

And this product is also from Kentucky. When he was an assistant coach in Kentucky, he was able to get in touch with Li Liang.

In terms of character, he is not the kind of strong coach who can suppress the star. In the face of the long relationship, he always wants to maintain balance and it is best to stay out of the game.

His style of coaching is conducive to keeping his handsome position, but it is not conducive to exerting his maximum fighting power.

So, a pause was arranged and nothing was arranged.

Still some motivational words, and made some adjustments on the defensive end.

Offensive...you can do it yourself.

Li Liang doesn't matter. Anyway, the game is still going on.

As for the coach, hesitating?

It doesn't matter, you will know when you fight with me more, don't hesitate, there is nothing to hesitate.

Give me the ball, it will be the best choice.

The game will prove everything.

...

Returning to the game, it was Durant who broke the deadlock.

Adams's cover, Li Liang's high-handed pass, Durant, Durant caught the ball and stopped the jump shot, scoring two points.

Li Liang thought, you just throw it, what are you pretending to pass, you don’t pass well, why not.

Durant sometimes falls into the deliberate sense of "I am going to pass the ball", he is not the kind of natural passer.

The natural passer, at the moment before he chose to pass, did not know what he wanted to pass, how to pass, and to whom.

When the opportunity comes, it will naturally spread.

The deliberate passer is that everyone in the world except himself knows that he is going to pass.

For example, in some cases, Corvo, you are a fan sitting on the sofa and watching TV. You all know that this product needs to pass. He doesn’t want to throw it himself, because he doesn’t want to be regarded as “he can’t pass.”

Durant sometimes falls into this strange circle.

Obviously, when he started shooting, he was more like Durant.

Subsequently, the Thunder completed a successful defense.

As a child of Kentucky, Donovan is also a believer in man-to-man defense, which makes Li Liang feel very comfortable and adapt to the Thunder's defensive system.

The only thing that makes Li Liang feel uncomfortable is that he originally wanted the rebound in the backcourt, and as a result Westbrook broke out and snatched the rebound...

Well, you rob, you quickly launch a quick counterattack.

As a result, Westbrook, who rebounded, didn't move forward quickly, but used the normal rhythm for halftime.

This offense doesn't feel good. Although Westbrook is a point guard and has a lot of assists per game, the control of the game rhythm does not match the top point guard.

This ball, replaced by Paul or Nash, will definitely push up quickly.

"Why not attack fast!"

Li Liang was about to run, and finally passed Westbrook by beeping again.

Westbrook is a little speechless, you also push back?

Westbrook has his own ideas, he just pushed a counterattack without success, because the opponent is the Spurs.

The Spurs have been retiring very quickly and it is difficult to fight back quickly.

Durant is not a fast-breaking striker. In many cases, the Thunder's fast-break is Westbrook's own killing of the forward.

Westbrook didn't speak, but patiently attacked the organization, the continuous pass from the outside, the result of the ball was interrupted by Green and out of bounds.

It was the Thunder’s possession and continued to organize. As a result, the Spurs’ defense was good, and the Thunder’s pass was once again destroyed.

Li Liang looked a little anxious. He took the initiative to pick and roll for Westbrook. Westbrook took the ball and walked in the middle, then gave the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang faced Ade softly, faked, and then walked to the left to kill. After throwing Ade off, he shot a 45-degree close-up jumper and hit a two-pointer.

At 14:10, the Thunder caught up.

The Thunder's offense was still slightly split, and Westbrook's attempt to pick and roll the pass was too obvious.

The three people still need more coordination.

But everything is getting better.

All three of them are top players in the NBA. They all have their own playing styles and habits. They know how to adapt to the game and their teammates.

Afterwards, the Spurs missed the perimeter again. This time Li Liang took a big elbow to grab a rebound and evaded Westbrook.

After receiving the rebound, Li Liang immediately gave Westbrook and shouted "Run!"

Then Li Liangzhong speeded up ~www.readwn.com~ directly to the impact basket, Westbrook dribbled to the three-point line and a dribble to the inside.

The Spurs returned to defense really quickly, and Ade and Duncan were already waiting for Li Liang at the basket. The two teamed up to cover Li Liang.

Although Li Liang jumped and received the ball, if he didn't handle the ball quickly, it would take three seconds.

Li Liang's handling of the ball is very simple. Instead of trying to find a cap, he drew the ball and took a step back, then turned over and stopped the jump shot.

The zero-degree jumper was a neat shot, with two points.

Only two points left.

When returning to defense, Li Liang told Westbrook, "The fast break doesn't have to be a layup, I have my own way to the basket!"

Li Liang started to brag again. You haven't shown any fast break ability before.

But no way, Karl Malone may be the strongest power forward in NBA history.
