Chapter 841 Dynasty Roadblocks

Weisha likes to watch Westbrook’s games, just like others like to watch Cousins’ games.

These people's competitions will always surprise you, and you will never know what will happen in the next second.

If Durant is not on the court, Westbrook is the most threatening of the ball-handed attack among all the active No. 1 positions. In terms of offensive threat, only Curry may be compared with it, but Westbrook is an all-around monster who is in line with Kidd and can influence the game in many aspects.

His game mode will always be just to accelerate, move forward, and tirelessly attempt to win.

When Weisha and Durant are not around, it is the time when the No. 2 player on both sides shows off.

When Westbrook is on the court, the Thunder's style of playing is always pick-and-roll in the inside, and then he plays in with the ball, creating and fighting by himself.

It's really tiring to play like this, but this is exactly what a player of his age should perform.

Cousins ​​of the 76ers brought the same performance, actively demanding the ball, jump shot from high, back shot from low, and taking the ball in the paint area to attack.

His playing style is not as rough as Westbrook, and his methods are more varied.

Relatively, the closer you get to the basket, the higher the hit rate, it is also applicable here.

In order to make the Thunder overtake, Westbrook played harder and fell to the ground many times because he rushed to the inside and had a confrontation.

Every time Westbrook falls to the ground, you can see your teammates pounce on them, carefully and enthusiastically pulling him up, just like Garnett during the Celtics. Every time a teammate falls to the ground, he is the first to support him, and when he falls to the ground, everyone will help him.

This is how people like Westbrook are. He is not as good as Nash helped all his teammates improve as he was in the Suns, but he incited his teammates, motivated his teammates, and then led the way, smashed his teammates from a 1.5-meter-high rebound to the ground, and his teammates helped him up. Everyone in the Thunder knew: he would make mistakes, he would miss the ball, but he was overdrawing himself and carrying the team forward.

His vitality and spiritual strength are undoubtedly above Cousins. He flexibly uses pick-and-roll tactics to name Cousins' defense and score many times.

Within five minutes, Westbrook brought excellent performances in a row, allowing the Thunder to turn the defeat into victory and take the lead.

Then, Westbrook staged a goal that forced the Sixers to pause.

It was still a pick-and-roll tactic, Cousins ​​let him shoot. Westbrook was in a good state, he could shoot but not shoot, dribbling the ball from Cousins's front, his attitude and ideas were all here.

Cousins ​​was forced to foul for defense, Westbrook bravely caught his confrontation, and his body jumped up like a Rocket with endless power, scoring a dunk at Cousins' unimaginable high-altitude dunk.

The moment he dunked, his face like a turtle made an inspiring roar.

42 to 39

The Thunder went from behind to leading, and the 76ers called out a timeout.

When Westbrook left the field, he received almost all his teammates' support.

Durant watched all this from afar on the bench. He could also hear Westbrook's teammates applauding with convincingness when he came out. Last year, these voices were often directed at him.

His mood is very complicated.

Perhaps, the Thunder management was even more complicated. They used three draft picks to select monsters that could defeat everything in three consecutive years.

Just three years ago, Harden, Durant, and Westbrook were still teammates.

They had three Emperor Stars but took the initiative to let one of them go, and they had not coordinated the ball rights issue of the remaining two.

76 people made changes.

Jay Wright replaced Cousins ​​and Hayward and formed a new team.

Weisha, Robertson, Glenn Robinson III, Odom and Hollins.

In this team, Wei Xia is the main ball handler. He has to regard himself as James and Westbrook, and offense is no longer his only one.

Robertson and Robinson III's physical talents can bring many changes, Odom can help in many aspects, and Hollins is a big man under the simple 41 system.

It can be seen that without Holiday, the second team of 76ers is indeed not as strong as before.

The back line lacks manpower and lacks core players in the second team. Rondo's shooting problem began to be magnified.

One person is missing, but a series of problems are caused, and the consequences are that the competitiveness of 76 people has been reduced.

The Thunder replaced Westbrook and Durant, and wanted to fight against the 76ers King.

"You won't let Russell down on such a good performance, right?"

Wei Xia teased Durant.

Durant did not respond, took the ball from the front, pulled the ball with his right hand to his left hand, and then pulled the ball with his left hand to his right hand.

His pre-body change threat is far from 2014.

Wei Xia easily followed his series of movements without much effort.

Durant was forced to pass the ball, and the Thunder's ball turned around, and with a few seconds left, the defenders found the right person to take the blame.

Durant used his high-strength shot to shoot.

Don't enter.

The resulting long rebounds are far beyond Durant's control.

Wei Xia immediately made a fast break, and Odom took a rebound and passed the long pass.

41 to 43

Durant's mentality has changed, but Thunder's playing style has not changed.

If a single core is present, the ball will be concentrated.

Wei Xia vaguely heard the noise off the court. Cousins ​​was not very satisfied with his tactical status, so he found Wright to complain.

This is rare. Since Wright took office as head coach of the 76ers, Cousins ​​has always been obedient to arrangements.

Since last season's finals, Cousins ​​was suddenly abandoned by Wright, and some things have changed.

Cousins, who was selected as the best center twice, is more sensitive, and he is eager to have more shots and higher team status to lead the team.

But Wright actually imitated the Warriors and developed a five-small tactic that does not require a pure center?

Moreover, the 76ers actually laid an advantage without him.

Throughout the summer, there were many people who attacked Cousins, many people who thought he was dispensable, and there were even a lot of critics who regarded him as a stumbling block for the 76ers three consecutive championships.

The negative reviews he received were two or three times that of other people in the same team.

He is like Durant of the 76ers, and seems to be ununderstood and supported.

Wei Xia noticed this, and then Thunder doubled down on Wei Xia without any consequences, thus emptiing Robertson and Glenn Robinson.

Robertson made several open three-pointers but failed to make a shot.

Robinson III's skills are more immature than him. Although his physical fitness is very strong, it is far from enough to gain a foothold in the NBA.

At the end of the first half, the Thunder once again played a dual-core lineup.

Wright decided to teach him a lesson due to some misconduct from the field and did not replace him when the rotation time came.

Cousins ​​swears the towel.

This is the first game of the 76ers in the new season!

Such a change occurred unexpectedly by all those who supported them.

Thunder, who had just given signs of falling apart, suddenly found a way to coexist with dual cores.

Durant and Westbrook have the power and threat that are superior to the contemporary era, so there is no need to hide it deliberately.

It’s like having a Porsche and a Maybach at home, you don’t have to ride a bicycle to buy groceries.

Donovan did not have a clever strategy. He just asked these two masters to hold the ball and serve the other. He tried to make them try to switch quickly to the attack mode as quickly as possible, forcing the 76ers to devote a lot of energy to the two of them and the cover wall, and the character players picked up wallets.

The advantage of doing this is that the Thunder's offense is more dynamic and the core players can play freely.

Westbrook took the initiative to reduce inefficient shooting options, read the situation at that time, and try to attack directly.

Therefore, Westbrook usually calls pick-and-roll attacks the basket or back-attack to bully Rondo with his body, while Durant blocks the opportunity to cut or plays the ball with the ball.

Durant's style of play adapts to all tactical systems. The person who needs to adapt again is Westbrook. He looks pretty good. He is very focused on the 76ers and puts pressure seriously.

Moreover, he likes the mode of switching offensive end at high speed at the defensive end. He is such a person.

Looking at the Thunder who suddenly adjusted back, Wei Xia not only couldn't confront him wholeheartedly, but also focused part of her attention off the court to see how angry Cousins ​​and Wright were.

At this time, Cousins ​​had already put on the appearance uniform. If Wright didn't give him the stage, he would act like he would stop fighting.

Has Cousins ​​grown up?

Is he arguing of a naughty temper or does he really think he can take some responsibility that Wright doesn't give him, so he protests in this way?

If it is the former, Wei Xia will have a headache; if it is the latter, Wei Xia will have a heartbreak.

Although Cousins' temper is annoying, he can always find ways to control it. If the behavior driven by ambition is difficult to solve in a general way.

This is the fate of almost all teams chasing three consecutive championships.

The enemy is not just those outside teams who want to defeat them, but also the role players who lose their desire for the championship, young new players who are gradually dissatisfied with the team's status, the No. 2 and No. 3 cores, and those who are unwilling to make sacrifices in the contract year, who are eager for more ball rights... Problems will arise one after another.

Unexpectedly, the 76ers appeared in the first game.

Moreover, directly make the contradiction public.

While there were problems off the court, the situation on the court was also controlled by the Thunder.

At the end of the first half, the Thunder led the 76ers to double digits.

Although Wei Xia scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, everyone could see that the current problems of the 76ers were no longer on the court.

"How will you deal with DeMarcus and the coaching staff?"

Wei Xia could only pretend to be an ostrich: "I don't know what happened, so I'll talk about it when I figure it out."

He answered the questions quickly and walked directly to the player channel, without thinking about staying for a second.
