The short period of Timeout passed quickly, and when it appeared again, Thunder was replaced by Gordon.
Attack again, Westbrook High Wing and Chen Xi Pick-and-Roll then return, Chen Xi Ball Handler named McCollum.
After Crossover Step broke through, he blocked cj's Chase Defense with his body. After seeing Ballista lift Hedge, he immediately released the ball.
Gordon on the wing has already arrived, and after catching the ball, he dunks.
6 to 8
Trail Blazers continued to attack, Lillard directly passed the ball to Frontcourt, and recruited Pick-and-Roll from Ballista. After bypassing the screen, he found that Little Sabonis was still defending Hedge, Ballista immediately went down to catch the ball. As a result, Gordon quickly Help defense came to Ballista. At the same time, Thunder's defense Rotation quickly came up.
Westbrook quickly returned to Lillard and formed a partial double-team with Little Sabonis, forcing him to stop the ball before Lillard could get the ball out.
At this time, Chen Xi is in front of CJ, Gordon withstands Ballista, Westbrook Little Sabonis double-teams Lillard, and Butler partially defends against two.
Lillard chose to jump to pass the ball, but Butler saw through it at a glance, quickly ran out, and reached out to intercept the ball.
At the same time, Chen Xi Westbrook rushed towards Frontcourt, and Butler's pass arrived immediately.
Frontcourt 2 hits 0.
Chen Xi catches the ball and throws the ball high in one step, getting a help!
Westbrook gliding and air-connected to the C-word Tomahawk.
Beng!!!!
Basket made an unbearable groaning sound.
"Wow!!! Thunder Timeout seems to have changed the team after coming back!"
At this time, Feng Laicai ran back to Backcourt, picked up the ball and sent it again. After McCollum moved to the Three-Pointer line, it was handed over to Lillard again. Lillard still looked for Pick-and-Roll.
Ballista Move up for pick and roll, Little Sabonis strong Hedge.
Lillard quickly breaks through before Westbrook can squeeze through the screen, Little Sabonis immediately Chase Defense.
Lillard came to Free-Throw Line, Step-back made an emergency stop, pulled away, raised his hand and asked for Three-Point Shot.
BAM!!!!
Basketball was knocked out of the field by Butler who was shot from the side.
At this time, Westbrook came to McCollum and became Chen Xi partial 1 defense 2.
The on-site commentators began to analyze the situation.
"Donovan replaced Harris, and after replacing Aaron Gordon, the team's defensive level immediately improved, and then strategically double-teamed Lillard, relying on the excellent defense of the five-man team At the Rotation level, even if the ball is successfully kicked, the team's Rotation can still be in place quickly. However, Harkless and Feng Lai do not have enough Three-Pointer experience in a large sample! This gives Thunder a huge space to utilize!"
"Yes, and in this case, we can also make full use of Butler Help defense's ability, as well as Gordon's upward defensive role. On the defensive end, this may be Thunder's strongest lineup!"
Re-inbound pass's Trail Blazers was a little embarrassed for a while.
In the end, Lillard took over Basketball, but did not choose Pick-and-Roll, and challenged Westbrook one-on-one.
Continuous Crossover Dribble followed by Hesitation Dribble breakthrough.
Westbrook immediately blocked the road with Sideways Movement, but Lillard immediately connected with a Push Dribble Change of Direction that came out from the left and went straight to the basket. Westbrook followed closely behind, concentrating on it. As long as Lillard dared to jump, he would immediately be a big hater.
Lillard also knows that simply squeezing his body to pass a position is useless. Westbrook's bullet speed is too abnormal. As long as this guy's prediction is accurate, even Durant can hit him.
Seeing Chase Defense from Westbrook, Little Sabonis had to stay in front of Ballista with peace of mind, not giving Lillard a chance to score.
So Coach Lillard could only take off bravely, huddled in the air, and his whole body was immediately covered by Westbrook.

Unable to find a reliable angle, Lillard threw the ball outwards in desperation.
After Cj jumped to catch the ball, he immediately dropped the ball to break through again. Chen Xi followed closely and interfered. McCollum rushed to Interior and had to break away. Harkless on the wing caught the ball and carried it back to Top of the Key, waiting for Lillard to run out again and catch the ball again.
Just after bypassing Harkless, Butler immediately hit the ball in front of him. Lillard feinted with some difficulty. Jab Step then retracted his front foot and Step-back forced a jump shot again.
Dang!!!!
Three-Pointer Brick, Basketball bounced up high and then fell down again. Little Sabonis gently stretched his arms and picked them into his arms.
Thunder's defense suffocated Trail Blazers.
Who told you that your Starting Lineup, in addition to the dual guns, the most accurate outside shot is the Ballista? Are you not looking for death?
Thunder can Rotation wildly in the Three-Pointer line, changing defenses infinitely, and at the same time, he can attack locally at every turn.
It puts huge pressure on the ball carrier, but no one can share it.
Westbrook ran across the half court with the ball, and just as he stepped out of the logo area, he sent Basketball high into the sky.
After Basketball drew an arc in the air, it was intercepted by Gordon who was also gliding.
Beng!!!!
Aaron·Gordon!!! Another alley-oop dunk!!!
10 to 8, Thunder overtakes
Starting from this goal, Thunder completely grasped the rhythm of the entire game. This lineup played against Trail Blazers.
By the end of the first quarter, the score became 27 to 19, from leading by 4 points to falling behind by 8 points. After Donovan changed formation, Trail Blazers lost by a full 12 points.
Terry Stotts stood on the sidelines scratching his head, thinking hard and unable to come up with a good solution.
Because tmd! He has no other players with excellent spatial attributes!!
Damn the general manager! Does he have some kind of connection? Every summer there are just minor substitutions, with no real reinforcement at all!
At this time, Stotts could no longer bear his dissatisfaction with the management.
The other two who can barely shoot are also two guards. This guy Stotts has a big head. The level of these two is far worse than that of double guns.
Sure enough, Transition Period at the beginning of the second quarter was defeated by Trail Blazers in only four minutes.
Transition Period Tobias Harris, who traveled at the wrong time, killed everyone, hitting two consecutive Three-Pointer, two mid-range shots, plus McDermott and Kennard provided fire support, Butler delivered artillery shells, and Thunder performed their duties, easily beating Trail Blazers 16 to 4.
The score suddenly became 43 to 23, and the point difference came to 20 points.
Trail Blazers hurriedly replaced the two guns and tried to make amends, but it was too late.
After struggling to no avail, Stotts took the bitter pill of failure with tears. In the middle of Third Quarter, he replaced the main force and announced defeat.
The game entered garbage time.
In the end, Thunder 117 beat Trail Blazers by 97, continuing his winning streak.
Donovan also gained new ideas through this. The effect of putting Gordon on Starting Lineup is good. It has a good chemical reaction with several people and can also improve the defensive level.
After Harris is transferred to the bench, it can also greatly improve the team's lineup depth and excellent shooting level. With the two shooters McDermott and Kennard, only one qualified organizer is needed to ensure the team's offensive limit.
It seems very feasible.
Coach Donovan, the more I think about it, the brighter my eyes become.
Try it next time!
