But why are we still 9 points behind?
Because Grizzlies's offense is even worse. Donnie Yen means loudly. jpg
Little Gasol scored 3 out of 10, Tyreke Evans scored 2 out of 13, Ben McCollum scored 3 out of 9, and so on, none of the other players' efficiency can be seen.
The one with the best efficiency is Dillon Brooks, who shot 2 of 4, which is barely 50% of the hits. However, all his points came from the open position Three-Point Shot, which cannot support his production.
Mitchell sat on the sofa and watched the game together.
"Warriors won, there should be no suspense. Grizzlies's efficiency is too poor."
"Indeed, I can understand other people. It's a bit surprising that Mark Gasol is like this. I have to say that McGee's talent is really enviable."
Chen Xi echoed.
Little Gasol is getting older after all. He is already 33 years old, and his physical skills have begun to decline. In addition, McGee's body is too abnormal, which gives Contact enough. This has a big impact on Little Gasol's Layup.
In addition, the outside line Touch is not online, and Three-Pointer is only 2 out of 5, which is low production and low efficiency.
"Grizzlies, this year is also a bad year." Mitchell sighed.
Jazz didn't do well, but his record couldn't improve either.
But at least it is better than last year. Although the compatibility of the combination of Mitchell and Gobert is not that good, it is enough to guarantee the bottom line based on the strong basic abilities of the two.
Now Jazz ranks fifth among Western Conference and League ranks ninth, which is already pretty good.
On December 22, Thunder 120 beat Hawks by 114
On December 23, Thunder played Back-to-Back away from home against Jazz, and unfortunately lost the game 101 to 109.
Without him, only my hands give birth to you!
Jazz, who owns Gobert, is really more restrained towards Westbrook.
Once the outside shot cannot be made, Gobert will have very serious restrictions on this breakthrough defender.
Coupled with the explosion of Mitchell and the abnormality of Toha, the firepower of the bench decreased, which led to this result.
Chen Xi scored 40 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists against Biao Mitchell, tasting the long-lost taste of defeat.
On the third day after playing against Jazz, Thunder ushered in another strong opponent.
On December 25th, Thunder, who returns to the home court of Oklahoma City, will face the team of Western Conference first, Houston Rockets.
Rockets, led by James·Harden and Chris·Paul, is now in full swing, winning consecutive battles.
Under the coaching of D'Antoni, Harden's playing style became more and more like More-ball style.
Loyal to efficiency, the offensive distribution is more concentrated outside the Three-Pointer line, which is more efficient, and at the basket.
Coupled with Harden's unparalleled foul-making skills, he won a lot of Free Throw, allowing his average score to reach 32.1 points per game.
In a sense, the season is not even halfway through, and the candidates for the Scoring Champion award have basically been decided.
Last year there was Westbrook who could compete with him, but although Thunder is stronger this year, Westbrook's points per game have dropped accordingly, to 28.9 points, while Harden is still rising.
Thunder replaced a large number of role players to better adapt to several core players, which to some extent also shared the scoring pressure of the main force.
The situation of Rockets is different. The arrival of Paul will not share the scoring pressure of Harden. After all, he is not a scoring expert now. Paul's greater role is to sort out the offense and control the rhythm. He can make the role players better, and he can also lead the team alone and be responsible for solving various problems of the team when Harden is not on the court.
Although most of Harden's offense came from his own Isolation, Paul's assists did not decline much. First of all, both of them are high basketball IQ The players can quickly adapt to each other's cooperation after a simple run-in. Secondly, the two of them have to be separated to lead the lineup of Transition Period. This can give full play to the organizational talents of the two and prevent the core resources on the field from being redundant.
After a simple opening ceremony, the game began
Biscuit King Capela easily beat Little Sabonis and helped Rockets get the ball first.
Rajan...58...Paul took over Basketball, transported it to Frontcourt, and began to organize the first attack. (I will do it myself, Paoquan warning!)
After Capela and Pick-and-Roll arrived, we quickly broke through.
Little Sabonis is strong Hedge is causing interference.
Paul came back immediately, signaled Teammates to pull away, and began to fight against the big one, naming Little Sabonis.
After Crossover Dribble shook continuously, he successfully shifted Little Sabonis's center of gravity, and then quickly dropped the ball to break through, passing Sabonis's side and heading straight for the basket.
Westbrook on the side quickly assisted in defense and stepped forward to slow down Contact.
But Brother Pao immediately threw it out, waiting outside Ariza to catch the ball and shoot, Three-Point Shot.
Huh~~
A good start.
When Ariza came up, he hit Three-Pointer.
After Pick-and-Roll passed, in order to protect Westbrook, Lei Ting did not let him attack Capela, but chose to switch defense.
Gordon supports Capela, Butler supports Anderson, so Westbrook switches to Ariza. Being too impulsive Help defense leads to the opportunity for an empty guard to appear on Ariza's side.
Facts have proved that in front of a point guard of Paul's level, we really can't leave them an open space~~
Offensive and defensive transition, Thunder attack.
Rockets retreated quickly, and in addition to having to serve from Baseline, Thunder lost the first opportunity to play Fast Break.
Westbrook Top of the Key faces Paul and directly holds the ball Isolation.
No need for fancy Dribble, just pull back two steps to give enough starting space, and then accelerate suddenly.
The moment it passed by from the side, a Physical Confrontation directly pushed Paul back two steps, then rushed to Mid-range, made an emergency stop and took a two-point shot.
Also enter.
Paul very calmly took over Basketball from Anderson and returned to the Frontcourt organization.
He has experienced this kind of ball being eaten alive countless times. The last one who liked to hit it like this was named Deron·Williams.
Xiaopang at least gave him some face, and first made a Crossover Step change of direction before passing him.
Westbrook directly accelerates the sudden attack, relying on the strength of the body to survive.
Although he was somewhat unhappy, as a person who plays with his brain, he knew the meaning of incompetence and rage.
As a point guard who plays with his brain, he generally won't let his emotions influence his thoughts, unless you touch his head.
After coming to Frontcourt again, it was Pick-and-Roll at No. 15.
After Paul broke through this time, he directly passed the ball Bounce pass to Capela.
Biscuit King took two steps after receiving the ball and jumped directly. Gordon did not have time to switch defense and was interfered with. He could only watch from the side as Capela wreaked havoc on Basket. Then he caught the falling Basketball and returned to Baseline to serve quickly.
Westbrook Backcourt Receive Ball advanced quickly and rushed all the way to the Rockets Three-Pointer line before being stopped by Harden.
