Chapter 149 The Secret Weapon against Thompson
"Beep-"
The Oklahoma City Thunder called a timeout.
"Hoo-hoo--"
Westbrook panted heavily, seeming to have exhausted a lot of energy.
"This kid didn't expect to be so powerful."
Westbrook said angrily.
The other Thunder players nodded in agreement.
"It seems that our plan has been reformulated, and we have to think of a new way."
Indeed, from the current point of view, Lin Changan's passing and his precise shooting are two cups of poison.
In addition to Lin Changan, the Golden State Warriors also have two pie-eating masters, and they are also defensive pioneers.
As for the Oklahoma City Thunder, apart from Adams who has both offense and defense, Westbrook and Durant Jr. are both strong offensively and weakly defensive.
Although it can play against the opposite Golden State Warriors.
But if you can't defend the opponent's offensive, you won't be able to win.
Although Adams has both offense and defense, he is a defensive player.
But he is a center after all, how can he defend a point guard?
Still an extremely flexible point guard.
Coach Donovan glanced at the guy sitting at the end of the bench, frowning, hesitating.
In the end, Coach Donovan still made a decision.
"Whiteside, get ready to play!"
[Whiteside was originally a secret weapon to deal with Thompson, but unexpectedly, he was forced out by this kid from the Dragon Country]
"It seems that the balance of victory is tilting in our favor again, Coach Poole"
"This guy Lin is really amazing."
Coach Poole talked excitedly with Canon Curry. .
At this time, the whistle sounded, and the timeout was up.
Both players return to the field.
However, the Oklahoma City Thunder played a short-cut player who hadn't shown his face in the first half.
"Coach! Look! Whiteside is on"
"."
Coach Poole, who was still smiling just now, fell into deep thought
Lin Changan looked at the new player, wearing the No. 4 jersey.
His face was expressionless and his calm was outrageous.
"Kick the Golden State Warriors hard."
Coach Donovan slapped Whiteside on the butt, and Whiteside gave a cold "huh".
At this time, Ball borrowed Adams' defense and hit a three-pointer.
Then the ball was given to the Golden State Warriors.
Lin Changan got the ball and slowly dribbled it to the frontcourt.
Looking at Whiteside who was marking him in front of him, Lin Changan felt an indescribable strange feeling.
Lin Changan dribbled the ball under his crotch as usual, and made a feint cross step, while Whiteside remained motionless on the spot.
Seeing this, Lin Changan accelerated and wanted to break through directly, but immediately hit a wall.
Whiteside has teleported to Lin Changan.
Lin Changan turned pale with shock, and immediately turned around to break through.
However, Whiteside reacted immediately and blocked Lin Changan's way.
Lin Changan made a bad luck and wanted to break through from the opposite direction.
But still blocked by Whiteside.
[How can I play this? 】
Lin Changan didn't dare to think too much. A defender of this level is very keen, and he might make a mistake if he is distracted.
Lin Changan continued to dribble the ball under his crotch, trying to get rid of the defense.
If you speed up and rush, you may be able to draw a foul by rushing to the basket like a bulldozer.
Time is running out!
Lin Changan retreated and wanted to make a direct mid-range shot.
But Whiteside's palm had already covered Lin Changan's eyes.
If you rush the shot, it will be blocked.
Then pass the ball!
But the other teammates still don't have a good chance, so they can't blame them.
At this time, Rooney was emptied, while Adams and Ball watched from the sidelines.
Lin Changan knew that this was a trap, as long as the ball was given to Rooney, they would definitely step forward to double-team.
no solution anymore.
Lin Changan pretended to pass the ball to his teammate in the right corner, and flicked the ball with one hand.
Whiteside leaned to the right.
Lin Changan succeeded?
Complacent, Lin Changan hastily withdrew his hands and took off vertically.
but.
The big hand covering the sky arrived late!
Lin Changan's shot was blocked!
Adams gets the basketball and throws it forward.
As soon as Lin Changan turned his head, Whiteside had already rushed to the front court and scored an empty basket!
"Nice job!"
Adams was so excited that he ran over and clapped hands.
Lin Changan looked at Whiteside in surprise.
A guy who is at most 5cm taller than himself has such a strong defensive ability.
His jumping, strength, and reaction speed are completely capable of moving a big center!
Lin Changan looked at the unsmiling man in front of him, and couldn't help but be impressed by his defense.
[What a clean defense, quick response, is it really a robot? 】
This Whiteside can make Lin Changan even have no chance to make a move, which is really a bit scary.
His defensive ability is probably at Green's level!
"Whiteside, but we are going to keep a secret weapon against Thompson, but I didn't expect that Thompson would let me take Whiteside on the court if he didn't fight!"
In other words, Whiteside has been regarded by Coach Donovan as a Thompson-level player.
At this time, Coach Donovan was both proud and helpless.
in the next half quarter.
Whiteside's presence on the defensive end made Lin Chang'an very uncomfortable.
Other players also didn't feel good. After Whiteside played, the Golden State Warriors only scored 5 points.
But luckily.
Oklahoma City Thunder is not so smooth, Adams does not seem to have a strong desire to attack.
At this point the ball came to the Golden State Warriors.
Since flamboyant movements cannot stand out, Lin Changan changed his mind.
Prepare to rely directly on speed.
Whiteside had no expression on his face, as if he was saying to Lin Changan: "If you have any tricks, use them all!"
Facing Lin Changan's attack, Whiteside did not make any exaggerated defensive measures.
He just lowered his center of gravity and kept his feet well apart.
This will prevent Whiteside from losing his balance due to extreme movement when defending.
These are the basic skills of defense, and there is nothing unusual about it.
But just like the "dream steps" of the dream, it is actually composed of many basic steps connected.
It's just that Olajuwon has used these offensive steps to the extreme.
The same goes for Whiteside's defense.
The simple basic defensive skills were also practiced to the extreme by Whiteside, which generated huge energy.
This is in line with the Thunder's overall temperament.
Calm but not mediocre.
The source of this calm is the ultimate in both offense and defense!Lin Changan's breakthrough was greatly weakened by Whiteside's defense.
At the same time, Whiteside kept waving his long arms in front of Lin Changan's eyes, making him even more restless.
This made Lin Changan fall into the trap set by Whiteside.
"calm!"
Mitchell shouted to Lin Changan.
Lin Changan also knew that he had to stay calm.
But for some reason, I became more and more anxious.
Is this the strength of the league's top defensive players?Lin Changan experienced a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time after entering the alliance!
