Durant and Owen met again today.
But they have changed to wear Phoenix and Dallas jerseys.
Durant played two games for the sun before, 26 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes today: this is a real fight.
The advantages of both sides and the problems on both sides are also clear at a glance.
The funny thing is that although Paul bookdurant Lucca Owen’s wrist is here, the core focus of attack and defense is okogi of the sun.
After the Lone Ranger got Owen, the attack was invincible: Dallas scored an incredible 130 points every 100 rounds when Owen was present. After all, both he and Luca can play with the ball, and the Dallas space is wide.
For example, Dallas’s first goal today: Luca’s right bottom corner attracts Paul, Owen arch top looks for a shield to split and attract a punch, letting Powell dunk: Originally, after Sun Elton went out, Durant often took charge of repairing the basket, but Dallas has a wide space, and Durant and Booker have no time to make up.
Of course, in terms of attack Fire, Durant + Booker is not inferior to Lucca + Owen, and The Lone Ranger is similar to The Sun: You gave up the chief defense fan in order to change Owen, I sent off the first defense Bridge in order to change Durant. Everyone lacks a little defense.
So the opening strategy of Lone Ranger today:
Owen took the defense against Paul, but the battle was empty; And, targeted to empty okeji.
In Kidd’s eyes, this is the current weakness of the Sun:
— Paul is nearly 38 years old. He can also play an average of 9 assists, but it depends on the old and spicy view of the overall situation. Once Xun Ruo ghost can go anywhere on the court fengshui ball, he has already moved.
Kidd himself was in Dallas at the age of 38, and he also played a similar role: He could also send eight or nine assists in the field, but the main thing was to swing the schedule; On scoring, looking for Dirk, on instigating and looking for Barya.
The old guard knows how to deal with the old guard.
— After bridges, the first defender, left, the Sun must always present okogi: today he took turns to defend Lucca and Owen, taking great credit, but he was unreliable on the offensive side.
Today Booker cast 40 minutes 25 shots, Durant cast 40 minutes 17 shots, okeji cast 22 minutes 13 shots, Dallas clearly gave him many opportunities to vote, “know you can’t vote”:
Okogi scored 3 in 13 shots and 0 in 8 in 3-pointer.
Today, Durant’s first assist was to pass the ball with an empty seat at the bottom corner of okogi. He broke through and found the best shot of Ayton: but the ball was given to Durant after okogi was released; and Alton scored 9 points in 4 out of 6 shots.
Paul is not feeling well. Okogi emptied. Elton didn’t have a chance.
So Kidd’s strategy finally leads:
Make Booker and Durant one-on-one.
The fact is also that they scored 73 points today.
Of course, the sun didn’t make Luca relaxed.
Okogi’s offensive end was emptied, but he joined hands with Booker. The defensive end pinched Luca by the lower center of gravity and crashed into a splash of meat. Luca got 19 free throws but only 8 out of 23 shots.
At this time, Owen’s role was shown: When Luca was targeted, he could still take over.
The first goal in the second half of Dallas: Luca pushed through half of the game with the ball, okogi took the defense against him in half; Luca quickly passed on Owen on the left side, the weak side of the Sun had no time to fall, Owen went straight to the basket and scored, make Durant foul 2+1.
Starting from this, Owen scored 10 points in half a quarter. But the turning point in the third quarter: okogi chased 66 to 69, and then Luca broke through and knocked okogi into the basket, scoring and adding penalties. Okogi felt wronged, but he was soon replaced by coach Monti.
After that, the Sun couldn’t resist the Dallas offensive, and it was a loss for Durant and Booker’s ball-holding attack-Durant flying high, Booker’s low body rubbing points-to maintain the situation, and then the lucky star appeared:
At the end of the third quarter, Booker finished the second round and Wayne Wright came out. Bookelian asked Craig and Wayne Wright for three long shots, and he made another strong shot, but he exceeded 1 point.
It’s a bit cruel to say so, but okogi’s desperate defense is not as good as Wayne Wright’s long shot.
At the beginning of the fourth section, Durant took two arrays.
Booker can still drive by holding the ball, after all, he is familiar with the team; Durant takes the second team, that is, Payne feeds the ball, Craig/Landale (the latter doesn’t play much today) covers, durant took over strongly and played very tired.
In the last 8 minutes of decisive battle, there was a difference of 3 points between the two sides, and then:
— Paul, who was released in the positional war, scored two empty three-point goals.
— Booker and Elton continuously attacked the inside line, and Wood couldn’t guard it.
— Durant gave Owen a tough hat and avenged the third quarter of an arrow.
The Sun ended with Wayne Wright and four trump cards. He could maintain the space of the sun, but Luca was also released. At the last minute of the game, Ayton points into the rebound in the front court, Luca gave Powell an Air pick assist, Durant death possessed the strong shot, shot into the actual winning ball.
Then came okogi, who had already sat on the Sun refaction.
In the last round, Luca shot at okogi and couldn’t enter the basket. Durant grabbed the rebound.
This ended a thrilling duel.
Only looking at scoreboard, the Sun won 130-126. Durant 37 points, Booker 36 points; Lucca 34 points, Owen 30 points, superstar collision.
But the competition was full of echoes from the beginning to the end:
The sun had to go to okeji to maintain defense, so the Lone Ranger released okeji on the defensive end.
Okogi was obsessed with Lucca, and Owen kicked off the score as a lone ranger in the third major attack.
Paul couldn’t move any more. Lord Booker instigated, and The Sun sent Wayne Wright to open the situation by space.
Paul, who was released, scored two three-pointers in the fourth quarter.
Dallas lost defensive rebound at the critical moment in the fourth quarter.
Owen played Durant 2+1 at the beginning of the third quarter, Durant returned a large hat in the fourth quarter, and the actual winning ball.
Okogi took revenge at the last moment and was replaced to hold Luca and consolidate the victory.
It can be seen that the current Dallas Lone Ranger:
The attack fire of Lucca + Owen + shooters could not be stopped, but today they got 72 points by the inner line of the Sun + free throws: this is still the result of the relatively correct defensive strategy.
Current Phoenix Sun:
Today, after trying okogi, Rose and others, Wayne Wright finally finished the fourth section: that is, after sending bridges away, they still didn’t find the most perfect 3D.
Okogi’s performance against Lucca today proves that he is still the best peripheral defender of the team, but when he does not have a basket?
And Paul is really old. He can also throw a three-pointer at the fixed point and give the ball to the right point at the right time. However, Booker has become the most effective starting point for the sun in the high-intensity duel. Fortunately, today it proves that even if Paul is very difficult, the sun can still give the ball to Durant so that he can concentrate on attacking.
Durant is still Durant when only need to consider attack. He played three games for the Sun and Durant averaged 3.7 assists, which was the lowest after Harden left the Thunder.
However, he averaged 33 minutes and 27 minutes, and the hit rate of the three games was 69%+53%+88%.
— When there is more than one reliable player around him, he is killing God.
