The pause ends in a blink of an eye.

Su Yang did not talk about any complicated tactics, but only allowed the players to remain patient, defend well, and wait for opportunities to appear. Because the Thunder's playing style relies especially on high-speed rotation, it consumes a lot of physical strength and will not be able to continue to maintain it sooner or later, otherwise it will be invincible.

After the speech, Nans and Ross were arranged to replace Lopez and Payton, but it was just a normal rotation to the point.

"Don't think too much, the substitution has nothing to do with your performance..."

The game continued. The Kings took advantage of the Thunder's ability to expand their defense range and began to consciously attack the inside. Ross used the double cover to get the ball, hit the ground and pass the ball in his pocket, assisting Xiao Nansi to score in the basket, but how could he turn around Westbrook stop and score a mid-range shot.

When Westbrook can hit a stop-off shot with confidence, his opponents are often more difficult to defend. The King is facing such a situation, and there is really no way. Westbrook's speed, basket-rushing ability, and three-point ability make the big man the best choice.

The best choice cannot be prevented, so you must wait patiently.

Turning around to the King's attack, Ross rushed to the basket on the left to attract the weak side to defend, passed the ball on the right wing, Green received the ball and then made a point to the bottom corner on the right, Tatum took the ball and shot, and shot Oladipo who was trying to block the block, and also rushed to the basket to attract Adams to defend, and then passed by Nans.

With a dunk, the Kings came back to score 4 points in a row, but they haven't tied the score yet, but the scoring efficiency has greatly improved.

When you go back and forth, after the first quarter, the Kings fell behind 26 to 35, and their performance in the second half was actually OK.

Westbrook was too fierce, with 12 points, 5 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals in the first quarter, 5 shots and 0 fouls, and only 1 turnover.

The second quarter will be held immediately.

Westbrook, who only had one and a half minutes to rest in the first quarter, took the stage to lead the team, as if he had endless vitality. However, the Thunder were substitutes, except for Sabonis, and other players were relatively flexible, Westbrook could only attack more by himself, and his efficiency was greatly reduced.

However, just when Su Yang thought he was about to complete the overtake, Andre Robertson hit three small open three-pointers in a row, causing the king to empty his strategy to be punished. Su Yang was so depressed that he shook his head: "If you were so powerful earlier, Durant would not leave..."

After the second quarter, the Kings narrowed the three-point gap with Antetokounmpo and Tatum's efficient performance.

Back in the locker room, Su Yang looked through the statistics and found that Westbrook had only three minutes of rest in halftime, scoring a total of 22 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, and was about to achieve a triple-double. Fortunately, his condition dropped sharply in the second quarter, all thanks to Robertson's long assists.

“We played very well in the second quarter.

Especially after we hit the inside a lot, Adams made fouls three times and Gibson made 2 fouls,"

Su Yang concluded his speech, "What you need to do in the second half is to continue to rush to the inside and guide the Thunder to create a small lineup to fight.

At the same time, we guide Westbrook to attack more and also launch attacks around him. I know him very well. In this kind of data, he will try to compete for rebounds more, and he is easily tempted by taking large triple-double data. So we must encourage him to avoid the Thunder playing the all-player offensive and defensive mode in the first half of the first quarter, which will make them very strong.

Anyway, Westbrook alone cannot defeat us, that's something that even Jordan can't do."

What awesome experience it would be to lead a team to win with a large triple-double. After the game, all news must be blown away!

The key is that Coach Donovan will definitely encourage Westbrook to launch an attack on the large triple-double, and the Thunder generals will not object.

As the absolute leader of Oxford City, Westbrook won the MVP last season and this season it was a big triple-double, and it was in full swing.

"good!"

Antetokounmpo took the lead in expressing his opinion, and the king and the generals agreed. The whole team fisted shoulder to shoulder and shouted in unison. Come on, 123.

After the break, return to the court, simply shoot and warm up, watch the cheerleader cheongsam dance, and the game continues.

As Su Yang expected, the Thunder made 10 consecutive attacks after the start of the third quarter, Westbrook made 7 attacks, and one assisted by Westbrook. The efficiency was just right, which prevented the Kings from further narrowing the gap and did not lose a major defense.

"It shouldn't be! Go grab the rebound!"

Su Yang was a little confused. He didn't understand why Westbrook didn't grab the rebound. He suddenly turned into a calm turtle. He had only two rebounds away to achieve a triple-double. Fortunately, the large number of shots and long-term ball control made it difficult for other Thunder players to adapt, making Oladipo's 5 shots and only one hit, and three of them were about to end the offensive time.

Westbrook did not lose his defense, and the game became quite difficult.

Fortunately, the King's plan went smoothly, which finally caused Gibson to make a third foul and Adams to make a fourth foul.

But unexpectedly, Donovan came back for a timeout and replaced Adams with Dhakari Johnson as a center, but did not use five small lineups, and seemed to dare not compete with the Kings for five smalls. Fortunately, he continued to allow Westbrook to take over the big bag and did not make any changes.

"Okay, no wonder Donovan is the most likely coach in the league to admit his mistakes and change. Except for Ren Westbrook's random play, he is just a stubborn thing at all, but Dhakari Johnson's playing center is too despised our pick-and-roll ability, right?"

Su Yang thought for a while and instructed the whole team to launch pick-and-rolls in succession, but bullied the template was Perkins' Dakari Johnson, Tatum banged two three-pointers, Antetokounmpo dunked one, and Rose trolled one, overtaking the Thunder with a 10-0 offensive.

Donovan really couldn't stand it, so he chose the five small ones.

Su Yang simultaneously sacrificed five small pieces.

But although they are both fifth little boys, the king has blossomed more, and the Thunder is almost all Westbrook attacking, and he is still scrambling irons.

The Kings gradually took the lead, then held on one team, and when the game was 3 minutes left, the lead had reached 15 points.

As he was about to lose, Westbrook finally tried to change, but he just scored a three-pointer and was still playing the ball alone.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Thunder 119 to 107, and led 2-0 in the series. Westbrook scored 51 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds. Su Yang saw the post-match statistics and found out why Westbrook was not keen on rebounding in the third quarter.

Westbrook made a total of 43 shots throughout the game, making 17 shots in total, almost catching up with his senior Kobe. He made only 2 of 11 three-pointers, only 18 free throws to support him. There is nothing to blame for 4 turnovers and 3 fouls, after all, the defense is very hard.

A typical 'Westbrook is successful and Westbrook is defeated', who would have thought that Westbrook was so outrageous in the second half, with only 9 of 28 shots.

After returning to the locker room after the game, Mike Brown laughed: "What would Coach Donovan say about Westbrook's performance?"

Dee Brown also laughed: "He definitely dares not praise or criticize. He mostly chose to change the topic and say that others had been told."

Su Yang chuckled when he heard this, and for a moment he was full of gossip and then turned on the TV to watch the Thunder's post-match interview.

Because the visiting team first attended the press conference, it happened that coach Donovan was being interviewed and talking about Westbrook.

“It’s obvious that he’s very, very competitive.

How are you doing? You have to ask him. To be honest, I haven't had time to talk to him after the game.

When Steven was at the end of the third quarter or another, I was not sure, and when I received the fourth foul, I did want to switch to the small ball lineup in advance, but Giannis was still on the court, and I wanted to give Russell a break. We tried to stick to the lineup where we could switch defenses infinitely, which made us more dynamic on the court and more suitable for the small ball style.

We tried to play better and stuck until the end of the third quarter, but I don't think we were doing well at the end of that quarter, we were given a 10-0 offensive climax and I had to quickly switch Russell, of course he wasn't the kind of player who would make excuses for himself, but from my point of view, the fact that I had to admit was that he did play the whole fourth quarter."

After the answer was over, everyone in the Kings coaching staff laughed.

It's a bit immoral, but it's so funny.

Donovan said so much, except for the first sentence that he praised Westbrook, he was helping Westbrook excuse his poor performance in the second half for the rest of the time, and even took the initiative to take the blame and shoulder some of the responsibilities. However, he was obviously not happy with Westbrook's 50 triple-double.

The situation of Thunder is like a single repeat.
