With seven minutes to go, the Oklahoma City Thunder trailed the defending champion Pacers just two points. Among them, Westbrook, who pulled the Thunder back from the edge of the cliff again and again, has undoubtedly become the object of everyone's discussion.

"Today, Russell is a true hero!"

"Although questionable, this game has proven that Westbrook is the undisputed MVP. He almost single-handedly held back the defending champions. ”

"Westbrook is one rebound away from a triple-double, but I don't think anyone will call him a stat brush today."

During the pause, the commentators were all praising Westbrook. In an instant, this guy, who was spurned by the media a few days ago, has become a benchmark for superstars.

Westbrook believes that his purpose has actually been achieved, and that he has successfully proven himself. After this competition, he will definitely be able to get rid of the names "brush" and "cancer". After all, his opponent is the Indiana Pacers, who have the most gold content.

Seeing that his 3+1 directly stopped the defending champions, Westbrook, who was sitting on the bench, was already beginning to fantasize about the picture of himself being sought after by reporters after the game was over.

He felt good today and the three points always came with his hands open. Based on past experience, Westbrook believes he will be able to complete the counterattack.

Just as he was fantasizing, a shrill beep pulled the beep back into the ring. Billy. Donovan's tactics are nothing more than those few, and nothing has changed much. So, Westbrook doesn't need to think about it, he can do it on the court!

"Come on, we'll be able to complete the reversal! Westbrook yelled at his teammates that what Durant couldn't do with the Warriors, he would do it!

However, Westbrook had barely finished his impassioned shouting when he realized that something was not quite right. Henson, for his part, switched to a somewhat unusual rotation.

Well, that guy has changed again. According to Westbrook's experience, as long as Henson. Joe offers a not-so-usual lineup...... Usually nothing good happens.

※※※

At the start of the match, Lopez sent the ball to Antetokounmpo. The tall man at 2.11 meters tall began to control the ball like a point guard.

While people lamented the rapid development of modern basketball, they also hoped that Henson's substitution would help the team get back on track.

Meanwhile on the bench, Becky. Once again, Harmon and Henson discussed tactics. Henson wants Harmon to take over his mantle as coach of the Pacers, and he has expressed that desire.

So, Becky. Harmon is also working very hard to learn from Henson. She didn't want a dynasty team to be buried in her own hands.

"When you first laid out your tactics, you didn't seem to have any special defensive strategy against Westbrook." Watching the players go through half, Becky. Harmon asked.

"Well, because there's nothing special about defending Westbrook, just pay attention to the help defense." Henson's eyes were fixed on the court, but he answered his assistant coach.

"But today's Westbrook was clearly in a different state, he just threw in a 3+1!"

"Yes, he just made a 3+1 and he shot a terrible three-point percentage today, but he was always Westbrook. I believe that in the face of absolute power disparity, luck will not be the key to victory. Look, Becky. Sometimes, you just can't be led by the nose by others. ”

As soon as Henson's words ended, there was a cheer from the stands behind him. On the court, Bogdanovic raised his right hand high and then high-fived Antetokounmpo.

You don't have to look to know that it was Antetokounmpo who assisted Bogdanovic to hit a three-pointer.

"Beautiful response, the Pacers responded with a three-pointer from Westbrook. Now the Pacers are still in control, but Westbrook doesn't look affected in the slightest. ”

Henson and Becky. Harmon's head followed the movement of the players, and Westbrook quickly passed the halfway with the ball, and it was clear that he wanted to score very, very much.

"How can you guarantee that Westbrook won't kill the game with a three-pointer today? After all, he once had moments of three-point killing. "Becky. Harmon was clearly not reassured, and if she had called a timeout, she would have let her players guard from beyond the three-point line.

"I can't guarantee it, but I can guarantee that this lineup will be more accurate than Westbrook. So, I'm not afraid to fight him for three-pointers. You see, what are the Thunder players doing? Henson said halfway and gestured to the court.

On the pitch, Schroeder and Jeramy, wearing blue jerseys. Grant was cutting to the basket. As long as Westbrook finds a pass, they can score easily.

It's not hard to get a chance, and if Westbrook draws the Pacers' defense beyond the three-point line, then Schroder and Grant can attack the rim with impunity.

Unfortunately, Henson didn't do that, and he still used regular defense.

"See? If they are led by the nose, they will take control of the situation with more efficient cut-in scores. I'd rather let them shoot threes than let them attack the basket. ”

As a coach with a championship ring on one hand, Henson knows very well that if he wants to win the game, he has to lead the opponent by the nose and let the opponent fall into his own game step by step. And if you don't want to lose, you can't follow the other party's train of thought.

Henson deliberately didn't put any special defense on Westbrook just so that he wouldn't be led away by Donovan.

"Damn!" On the other side, Billy. Donovan gritted his teeth. He was surprised that the Pacers could still hold their ground when Westbrook was shooting so accurately today.

He was trying to steal a few points from the Pacers' head with an inside cut, but now it seems that this trick is not working. To open the situation, Westbrook has to come.

Billy. Donovan has a strong NCAA resume, and he has a solid tactical background. But the biggest problem with this kind of "academic" coach is that it is a bit rigid.

As soon as Henson didn't follow his pace, there was nothing he could do.

Westbrook saw that the Pacers' defensive strategy had not changed, so he planned to repeat the old trick, use the breakthrough to attract the attention of the defense, and then go out to catch the ball and shoot.

Only this time, Westbrook's first step failed. His breakthrough failed to get rid of George completely, so much so that he was interfered with by George when passing.

The basketball was touched by George like this, which naturally deviated from the original flight trajectory. P.J. Tucker aggressively reached for the ball and pulled the basketball down, and the Thunder missed!

"Fatal mistake! Westbrook's split ball has already been predicted. ”

Tucker took possession of the ball and ran across half the court before making a quick pass to George, who was plugged in. Previously, the Pacers struggled to press the tempo. But now, Henson is asking his players to let go of the play.

Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to let Westbrook play fast.

The Pacers' counterattack was very sudden, so the Thunder's defensive positioning was a bit messy. So much so that when George broke through, the Thunder's entire defense shrank back.

"Watch out for the three-point line!"

Billy. Donovan shouted desperately from the bench, but to no avail. George's pass found Tucker on target, and the guy made the pass and it landed right into the bottom right corner. As a role player, Tucker knows exactly what to do and when.

Jerami. Grant pounced in desperation to interfere, but as Henson said, he was an overrated defender.

Tucker took his shots in stride, and the sweat on the practice court was exchanged for his consistent three-point shooting percentage. The basketball hollowed into the net, and the Pacers hit two consecutive three-pointers after returning from a timeout, and the difference instantly became 8 points!

"Tee, serve!" Westbrook waved anxiously at Adams, he was in a hurry.

Henson curled the corners of his mouth silently, just in a hurry. Henson's purpose in speeding up the pace was to make Westbrook anxious. And once Westbrook starts to be in a hurry, he will not be able to do things with his brain.

Sure enough, Westbrook is now bent on recovering the deficit as quickly as possible. George deliberately didn't press Westbrook to lure him outside the three-point line.

That's right, lure a guy who shoots 5-of-6 from three-point line to shoot outside the three-point line!

"Damn, you're going to pay the price!" Westbrook saw that George actually dared to let himself go, so he made an emergency stop outside the three-point line, and then shot directly!

He was very confident in his three-point shot today, even a little overconfident. Shooting a three-pointer without a teammate being fully seated is something that only Westbrook can do.

When this guy is in a hurry, he really doesn't do things through his brain.

Everyone was staring at the basketball, still wondering if the shot would hit. But Antetokounmpo had already secretly moved forward and, like Henson, didn't believe Westbrook could win by luck.

A second later, the basketball hit the front of the basket and missed!

P.J. Tucker stuck hard in position and protected the rebound in front of Adams. Then, he made a long pass directly to the backcourt and threw the basketball to the frontcourt.

At this time, people realized that Antetokounmpo had run up. Henson stood up, then raised his arms to celebrate the goal in advance.

Antetokounmpo lived up to Henson, who ended the offense with a violent windmill dunk. Donovan saw this and sat down on the bench, and in the end, the score difference became double digits.

"Westbrook's shot was so uncool, it wasn't a good shot. Although he shot from beyond the three-point line today, he couldn't be so willful. ”

The commentators shook their heads, this is Russell. Westbrook, that's why he's so controversial.

"Pay attention to the choice of shots, pay attention to the choice of shots!"

Even sitting in the other half, Henson heard Donovan shouting. It was clear that he was reminding Westbrook.

But that's okay, that guy won't stop. It's not that he's stupid, it's that he's stubborn, incredibly stubborn.

Sometimes, this stubbornness will make him hold on until the last moment. Sometimes, however, this stubbornness can cost him victory.

Then a shot, the stubborn Westbrook really began to attack the basket. At critical moments in the game, the rest of the Thunder team didn't want to get the ball. Basically, Westbrook took the ball and did it.

But alas, this time Antetokounmpo was on guard. He rebounded to the basket the moment Westbrook broke through, then straightened his long arm and played a big blow that covered the sky.

After the cap, Paul. George himself tweeted. The pace of the game has been carried by the Pacers, and the transition between offense and defense is only in the blink of an eye.

And the faster it is, the more chaotic the thunder becomes. This time, it was Bogdanovic who got the chance. "Little Peja" raised and fell with a knife, and did not relent. A three-pointer pierced the net, and by the way, it also penetrated Billy. Donovan's heart.

Once the rhythm gets out of control, the Thunder team collapses really as fast as thunder,

"Toot toot!" A quick whistle sounded, and Billy. Donovan shouted to stop the game, he had to slow down his pace or he would be carried away by the Pacers in waves.

Becky. Harmon hurriedly handed the board to Henson, but Henson waved his hand.

"The rest of the game is under your command, I'm tired."

Henson didn't tell the truth, he wasn't tired, but he thought the game was out of suspense......

You don't have to change players in garbage time, you can also change coaches.
