Thunder Wolf G2 - Alexander s offense and Thunder s defense

The progress of this game is very similar to the previous game. In the first two quarters, the Wolves could barely keep up with the Thunder because the Thunder three-pointers were not accurate. In the third quarter, the Thunder then made another defensive intensity, and the three-pointers recovered, and soon made a wave of noise, and the game basically lost suspense. Looking at the two games, the Thunder undoubtedly took the initiative. Alexander's breakthrough on the offensive end made the Wolves helpless. The inside defense against Edwards and Randle made every attack of the Wolves extremely difficult. The comprehensive suppression of both offense and defense is like the league showing the true strength of the league first.

First look at the offensive end, the Wolves used a variety of methods to limit Alexander:

Single defense

For Alexander, it is basically equal to a bonus point

Alexander borrows Halten's pick-and-roll, and easily pulls the middle distance

Alexander takes a three-pointer and strong solution

Joint defense

The Thunder Sutra After experiencing the Nuggets' test, Caruso made significant progress. With the support of the free throw line, Caruso easily cracked the short stroke, and easily made a jump shot from the free throw line.

Caruso received the ball and jump shot from the free throw line, forcing other players to handle the ball, but there are not many players who can handle the ball, and other players are fully fired. The pinch has no effect.

Double-team Alexander in the first half. Through the team, Dorte broke through the baseline and passed the inside to Chet.

Alexander Jewish was hit by a pick-and-roll, and Alexander made a free three-pointer

If the Wolves could not limit Alexander on the defensive end, the Thunder offense would be very smooth.

Look at the defensive end

The Thunder's defense is very targeted. For Edwards, one person presses close to you, one person assists in defense on the breakthrough route, and stands at the center to protect the frame at the basket. If there is a pick-and-roll, resolutely put the pick-and-roll man and shoot three-pointers, and Edwards won't let Edwards break through. In this way, Edwards basically faces at least two people in front of him every time he breaks through. Although he scored many difficult layups today, the overall offense of the whole team was extremely unsmooth.

Edwards used McDan's cover to receive the ball with Reed. Jewe was close to him, and Edwards was ready to break through. Dort immediately let go of McDan and blocked the breakthrough route, forcing Edwards to shoot at high difficulty. Although this ball was shot, this is the scene that the Thunder most wanted to see.

Edwards topped Reed. Reed broke through and encountered Caruso blocking and Edwards was blocked. Dort immediately made up for defense. Caruso stood on Edwards' breakthrough route in advance to prepare for blocking. Edwards was beautifully displaced by Caruso blocking, and after facing Chet at the basket, he scored a high-difficulty layup. This is a reflection of Edwards' super personal ability in the round, but it can also reflect the Thunder's overall defense strategy and strength.

Caruso always stayed in front of Edwards, Edwards forced a breakthrough, Halteng let go of the outside line, McDan returned to assist in defense, Dort recovered at the basket, and Alexander blocked again. A breakthrough in a round will face the Thunder four defenders, and even if you score, it will be a huge amount of money.

Defense Randall is Randall who goes around the front defense, assisting in the defense from the weak side, forcing Randall to pass the ball on the outside, or forcibly shooting.

Alexander circled forward, Wolves reeled under the basket, and Dort on the weak side made up for defense in time, successfully stealing, Randall hit Jewe with his back, and made an offensive foul, in this game, Wolves still changed some offensive strategies, such as significantly reducing the number of three-point shots, such as increasing Edwards' top pick-and-rolls, but their transfer ball could not break through the Thunder's assisted defense speed, and it was still extremely difficult to end their inside line.

When the two core breakthroughs were completely restricted, forcing character players to attack with organizations they were not good at, the Thunder's defensive strategy achieved great results.

Gobert passed by Walker was seen through by Alexander and directly completed the steal.

Although there have only been two games in the series, the Thunder's oppression on Wolves can be seen with the naked eye. If the Wolves return to their home court and want to continue to maintain the suspense of the series, they must start with defense first. Don't try to defend Alexander one-on-one at any time, and use the full-game joint defense to limit Alexander's breakthrough. Gambling for the Thunder's unstable three-pointer feel, striving to keep the Thunder's score below 110 points. They should make good use of Conley's organization on the offensive end, and at the same time let Goberdo stay on the court. Whether it is a pick-and-roll or a walk-through, they should make Goberman have a sense of presence on the offensive end.

Walker broke through and passed Gobert to the basket, and the Wolves should insist on playing Gobert.

Conley passed Edwards' three-pointer, which was Edwards' most comfortable shot. Edwards used Gobert's pick-and-roll speculation mid-range jump shot

The Thunder as the advantage side, they only need to continue to stick to their tactical strategies, grasp the details of the game, and respond to the opponent's changes in time. The advantage is still tightly in the Thunder's hands.

Unsolved Alexander, his top rotation defense, is the origin of the Thunder's first record in history.
