Li Cha's gimmick-like brilliance obviously annoyed the Jazz players.
Playing with your brain is easy to be despised in the league, especially in the era of stronger physical confrontation. Now because of the weakening of defensive strength, the term "ball quotient" is gradually being mentioned.
That is the vocabulary used by the fans and commentators watching the game. From the perspective of the players on the field, it is more like a trick.
Not tough, soft egg!
For such an opponent, the players will choose to use a more impactful way to end the opponent, let him know that playing small tricks is just a momentary pleasure, and he still needs to be down-to-earth and practice basic skills in a down-to-earth manner.
Even his teammates were a little upset, George took the initiative to ask for the ball.
Giving you the ball is already a concession, and when I cooperate with you, I also play with it.
Even if your teammates don't hold grudges, they will definitely make you unhappy on the court now.
Especially now that the score is in the lead, you can make a fuss, and by the way, Li Cha is disgusted, the alarm bell of 10 goals is always ringing above your head!
You must know that George is also in very good condition, and he made several three-pointers today.
There was no reason for Westbrook not to pass the ball to George. Even if he wanted to help Li Cha complete the task, he definitely couldn't give him all the balls.
George's touch was hot, and the catch was a three-pointer.
No matter how the Thunder played, it was a disaster for the Jazz.
In the playoffs, there are very few defeats in one wave. Every team is ready to play a protracted battle. Every game is very important and will never give up easily, not to mention the Jazz, who are good at defense in the regular season.
Forcibly scoring a goal, the Jazz strengthened their defense, especially on the perimeter. The combination of Li Cha and George was in such a good state that they had to strengthen their defense. Even Gobert, who never left the basket, had to pull to the outside to help defend, preferring to leave the basket empty.
Next, George continued to play hard, took 5 shots in a row, and hit 3 goals with high efficiency. The Jazz's defense seemed to have no good effect at all. The defense increased consumption and the offensive efficiency also declined.
The Jazz finally couldn't help calling a timeout.
In half a quarter, the Thunder widened the point difference to 14 points.
"Paul played very well. The opponent's defense against you will definitely be strengthened. Next, you will be the core to handle the ball. The others will move more aggressively. Come on." Donovan clapped his hands to encourage everyone. The team performed so well that they didn't even need a tactical board.
Donovan also deliberately avoided Li Cha. In terms of performance, Li Cha's performance was not inferior to George's.
But Donovan just didn't mention it.
"Paul, don't forget Lee's 10 balls." Westbrook reminded George in a low voice.
"I remember, he played tricks on me just now, and now I'm making him nervous too." George's face was full of teasing, and he kept looking at Li Cha.
There was no nervous expression on Li Cha's face at this time.
George was a little sentimental, curled the corner of his mouth, and the unknown anger almost burst out again.
But Westbrook laughed at the side, but George suppressed his anger and said everything. It seemed too stingy to continue to do so.
Shaking his head helplessly, George also had his own plans.
Allen came into rotation again.
Back from the timeout, the Jazz's tactics worked and scored the first goal.
George directly controlled the ball and advanced, and the Jazz resorted to a 3-2 zone defense to continue to strengthen the perimeter defense.
The biggest advantage of the zone defense is that it does not mark people, but only focuses on the area. It can form double-teams at any time without interfering with each other, and players do not need to be reminded to switch defenses.
But the 3-2 zone defense is weaker against the corners and the basket, but Gobert will definitely be required to take care of the basket. As for the corners, the core of the Thunder's tactics, Westbrook hardly goes to the corners, George is in control, let alone goes to the corners, and Li Cha almost never goes to the corners.
Just caught Thunder's loophole.
No playoff team is easy to bully, and no playoff coach is weak.
Sure enough, George was flanked, and the team needed to play reasonably in the lead. George passed the ball to the inside, and the inside defense was weaker. This choice was not wrong.
But the Jazz dared to put up a 3-2 zone defense because the two inside players had stronger defensive capabilities and dared to do so because they were confident.
Randall missed the hook.
There was no jumper again, Westbrook broke through and was defended by Gobert, and the layup was still interfered.
The Jazz made great contributions to the joint defense.
Although the offensive end did not take the opportunity to get a high score, the score gap was still narrowed.
If the zone defense cannot be broken, Donovan will definitely call a timeout.
Westbrook advanced with the ball, and now it is no longer possible for George to hold the ball.
George can ambush the bottom corner when playing off the ball, so that at least one more offensive opportunity can be obtained.
At this time, Li Cha got into the inside line. Of course, a three-pointer from the corner is a method, but it will not cause decisive damage to the zone defense. The team will still be entangled with the opponent's defense. To completely destroy the opponent's defense, they must attack the opponent while defending.
When Li Cha enters the inside line, Mitchell sticks to the defense first, and there is Favors behind him waiting to make up the defense at any time.
Westbrook saw Li Cha's thoughts. At this time, George's weak side could not pass the ball directly. Westbrook directed Randall to drive Favors' position, and then passed the ball to Li Cha.
Li Cha took the ball with his back, leaned away from Mitchell, shook his shoulder to the left to attract attention, turned around from the right with his body bent, and squeezed Mitchell away again.
Although Mitchell was inexperienced, he reacted quickly enough and caught up immediately. However, it was more difficult to defend and attack from behind after being broken through. What's more, Li Cha was taller than Mitchell, and the timing was a little later, so he basically couldn't catch up with the blocking defensive jumper.
At this time Gobert moved sideways, and sure enough he was still in charge of the basket area.
However, because of the slow movement speed, Gobert has not moved laterally in place yet, Li Cha has already taken off and is about to make a layup, and if Gobert continues to move laterally, he will be late and commit a shooting foul.
Gobert is also an expert in defense. He slanted his body and jumped towards the ball. He was long enough to avoid a direct collision with Li Cha, basically avoiding fouls, and his defense against layups was almost in place.
Li Cha faced two front and back pincers in the air. If he wanted to make a layup, he had to throw the ball high and rotate it. He tried to see if he had any luck.
or……
Withdraw the outstretched hand, pass the ball under Gobert's long arm, and give it to Allen who is running to the basket.
Sticking to Gobert's lower back, the basketball was easily handed to Allen, who jumped up and dunked it into the net with both hands.
Beating his chest fiercely, Allen showed his arrogance.
"Brother Li, thank you for passing the ball to me, but you must remember your ten balls." Allen persuaded him earnestly.
"Don't worry." Li Cha looked very confident in his faint smile.
"Of course!" Seeing Li Cha's self-confidence, Allen felt confident in an instant.
The Jazz attacked again, and this time they also scored.
Still continue to defend the zone, just one successful attack cannot break through, and defense is not a panacea.
Li Cha's position was deeper this time, as if he could make a layup if he turned around and broke through.
Mitchell's defense is even stronger, and he can burst out with super strength at any time.
Westbrook passed the ball to Li Cha again.
Li Cha shook his shoulders in the same way, turned around in the same way, and made a breakthrough in the same way.
Mitchell learned his lesson this time, and did not hesitate because of shaking his shoulders. He followed up and defended very timely, and his speed exploded faster.
This step was determined not to let Li Cha squeeze past.
However, Li Cha stopped and made a jump shot.
Mitchell also wanted to forcibly stop his explosive speed immediately, but he couldn't slack off unless he wanted to get hurt.
Li Cha threw off the defense and made a jump shot.
4/10!
"Handsome!" Allen couldn't care less about being on the field, and he was full of praise.
"Back to defense!" Li Cha didn't flatter him, but was yelled at by Li Cha.
Allen still accepted it with a hippie smile.
Mitchell continued to be bullied by Li Cha. Li Cha's position was chosen very well. It just so happened that all zone defense players would not take the flanking position. Although it was a zone defense, Mitchell still defended Li Cha alone in the end.
In this case, Mitchell cannot be defended at all, which means that this zone defense has not been implemented.
Confidence was hit again, and Mitchell missed the offense.
Westbrook pushed for a fast break, and the defense was not yet stable. Li Cha caught the ball and flew to the basket to score.
5/10!
The goal was scored easily, but it was obvious that Westbrook deliberately gave up the opportunity to Li Cha.
At 9 minutes, Westbrook's rotation time is up, and he will take a break.
Although he didn't really need Felton's organization, his passing was still much weaker. In addition, Felton was not like Westbrook, so he still had to chase some statistics. Li Cha didn't score any more in the rest of the third quarter.
He was also substituted at 10 minutes.Only George is left at the core.
George's state is still hot. Without Li Cha and Westbrook, George has to rush in when facing flanking attacks. The 3-2 zone defense mainly defends outside shots, which is meaningless at this time. With the rest of the starting lineup, the Jazz have returned to man-to-man defense.
The scores of the two sides slowed down again, and the Thunder's substitute did not get a good start, and lost a few points.
In the end, the two teams played 29:31 in a single quarter, which was almost a tie.
The Thunder still led by 10 points after three quarters.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Jazz took the starter back to the field early, trying to fight to the death.
Li Cha still owed 5 goals, and Donovan seemed to be creating a chance for Li Cha to win. He also let Li Cha play with the substitutes, and George went off to rest.
"Brother Li, come on! There are still 5 goals." Allen was also off the court, waving a towel excitedly.
Today I played a few balls with Li Cha, which made Allen very happy, and I will spare no effort to cheer at this time.
"Billy, are you deliberately forcing Lee to show his full strength?" Westbrook stood beside Donovan, pretending to watch the game, but asked Donovan in a low voice.
"Not all, there is also a temporary idea." Donovan replied lightly, without taking his eyes off the situation on the field for a moment.
"Occasionally I want to bully him, who told him not to listen to the tactical arrangement."
