The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

"Kevin, you shoot directly after catching the ball at the waist. Listen, we need to clarify our thinking now, win the mid-range victory, strengthen physical confrontation, don't run, and the defensive end, use more physical confrontation."

After McMillan finished speaking, he felt uneasy and continued to add:

"LaMarcus, you go to the pick-and-roll, and then you and Kevin have to respond at two 45-degree positions, use your height advantage, and don't be brought into their rhythm."

At the same time, Xu Xiao is also rapidly deploying tactics here.

"Russell, I don't care what method you use, bring me up to speed, Josh must follow up quickly, the core of our tactics is with you two, Jimmy, your task is the heaviest, give me death If you stick around Durant, if you really can’t do it, then foul, remember to be ruthless, and it’s best to make him dare not shoot again after the fight.”

The coaches of both sides are making targeted arrangements, but the implementation still depends on the players.

I don't know why Westbrook in this life still has such a big resentment towards Durant. After Westbrook saw Durant, his eyes became different.

Durant caught the ball in his most familiar position, raised his hand to shoot, and then Jimmy Butler made a shot.

Because Durant was already in position for this ball, Butler was powerless and could only use foul tactics.

And he also listened to Xu Xiao's suggestion. The hand knife was fast and hard. Durant rubbed his hands straight, and the first free throw was not heavy. Obviously he was affected a little, but for him A little impact is nothing, and the activities are adjusted immediately.

"It doesn't matter, they foul, we make free throws, the rhythm is with us."

Just after McMillan finished speaking, Josh, who was serving from the baseline, made a long swing. Westbrook quickly rushed across the half court.

Facing Adelaide's supplementary defense was an exquisite ground pass. After receiving the ball, Ibaka took off directly and bombed the basket.

The Trail Blazers organized an offense again, and the ball still had to go to Durant.

But this time Durant didn't want to be in a good position. Jimmy Butler used his thigh to hold Durant's lower body before Durant received the ball. At this time, Durant was not the heavy forward.

It's more about face-frame technology, so after catching the ball, Durant needs to adjust his dribble.

Just at the moment of dribbling, Westbrook rushed up, and the encirclement with Jimmy Butler was completed in a flash.

As a tall forward, Durant's center of gravity in dribbling is definitely not as good as that of a defender. Westbrook's move directly completed the steal.

"He fouled the ball." Durant was still complaining to the referee, begging for the foul.

Westbrook has advanced to the frontcourt. This time it was Josh who followed up. The latter took off and dunked directly. The Blazers' twin towers could not be retreated at all.

McMillan had to call a second timeout again.

"See, as long as Durant is not allowed to get the ball comfortably, he will not be a threat in the first place. We will continue to target Durant like this, but next, that Bogoute is probably going to give Durant his life. Rand has a pick-and-roll, pay attention, his pick-and-roll is not clean."

"By the way, Greg, if Bogoute goes out for a pick-and-roll, you don't follow him. You mainly go to release Adelaide, just reach out. Don't take off easily. His feints are very famous."

Xu Xiao was a little worried, and told Auden when the timeout was about to end.

After the timeout, the Blazers really started to let Durant and Bogoute play pick-and-rolls. When Durant couldn't play well, they gave Adelaide a single.

Ade really followed what Xu Xiao said, seeing Auden's defense was just a feint, but Auden didn't move at all.

Once the Blazers' Twins fail, the Blazers' offense will be constipated.

"Damn it, coach Chunchun crushed the opponent and directly predicted their prediction." Westbrook praised Xu Xiao while giving a thumbs up.

Xu Xiao knew Durant very well.

As a loyal fan of the "Green Formula" in his previous life, Xu Xiao did a lot of research on Durant.

At this time, Durant is still a little prince of mid-range shooting. Although his dribbling is in the best position in the same position, but facing the defensive champion who is shorter than him, his dribbling is not enough.

Tony Allen, who was nominated in the year, was almost uncomfortable to guard against Durant because of his high center of gravity when dribbling.

In addition, Durant has never been a big ball-handling core. His organization and passing have always been a problem, so there has been no good way to face double-teams.

In addition to the hard solution of personal ability, the team connection is basically out of the question, so the Trail Blazers team, although the lineup is quite scary, lacks the connection of core guards.

Whether it is Durant or Adelaide, neither of them can connect the team. The only one in the team who has the organizational ability to connect the whole team is the 36-year-old Miller on the bench.

So the Trail Blazers team looks scary on the lineup, but in fact it's the same thing, although Bierich, who came off the bench, can also play a role in threading the needle.

But it is obviously not a wise choice to compare the depth of the bench with the Timberwolves.

What made the Blazers even more uncomfortable was that McMillan wanted to increase physical confrontation in the second half to consume the Timberwolves' physical strength and curb the Timberwolves' touch.

But what puzzled him was that the whole Timberwolves team was like a chicken blooded, the defensive end put up their bodies, and the offensive end threw it when they came back.

Even big center Oden was able to hold Bodog in the penalty area on the front side, and then ran to the three-point line at the top of the arc in the next second and hit a three-pointer.

In this way, the Timberwolves are running and confronting the whole court, and they can still shoot 33 of 17 three-pointers, which is simply terrifying.

After the game, Oden excitedly told the media in an interview with the media:

"You know, our coach is simply a god, he has already let us practice aerobic shooting, we have been doing corresponding training before the game, so for today's game, we are very comfortable with this rhythm, and we have made sufficient preparations .”

Josh on the side quickly gestured with his eyes, and interrupted again, but Auden ignored it at all, and continued to praise Xu Xiao's wisdom, and even talked about the tactics Xu Xiao arranged during the timeout.

By the time he realized that he seemed to have missed his team's internal training, it was too late.

......

"I'm sorry coach, I was on a whim, I really just wanted to compliment you, but those media are too cunning and have been tempting me to talk about our arrangement."

"Greg, you are a child, how many reminders have I given you, and you don't even look at me." Josh also said a little angrily.

"Forget it, it's fine to be more impatient next time. It's already like this. We will continue to prepare for the next game. If you can't win the next game, then today's interview will definitely become black material for your future. .”

This time Xu Xiao surprisingly did not reprimand him, but focused on the next match.

Now that Xu Xiao is no longer pursuing it, everyone will not mention it anymore, and they have to step on the sentence that the boss is really high.

But Xu Xiao was suffering. He studied for a long time, and Auden vomited it in two to three minutes. This made him have to work overtime to study new tactics.

Auden, you will really find me trouble, you are not purely an undercover agent sent by the other party.
