Guard With a Knife

It is self-evident that the Thunder attach great importance to this game. They have just moved from Seattle to Oklahoma, so they must win a prize, right?

Las Vegas Summer League may not have much gold content, but the championship title is real.

Therefore, almost all of their main force came.

"I don't have time to waste this stupid game, hurry up! Get this over with!"

Jeff Green said loudly to his teammates before going on the court.

Durant is not here, he is the leader of this team. As last year's lottery pick, an all-around forward produced by Georgetown, he is indeed qualified to call the shots here.

Playing with him was Robert Swift, known as the last white center hope in the United States. At the small forward position is Damien Wilkins. The backcourt is played by two point guards, Earl Watson and Russell Swift.

This lineup is nothing in the NBA, but the summer league let them gallop. It takes talent to have talent, experience to have experience, height to have height, and impact to have impact. And most importantly, they are a real team.

When they walked onto the court, they found that the opposing lineup had become: David Anderson, Snoopidoo, Michael Beasley, Kyle Lamore, Mario Chalmers.

What about Daequan Cook?

The Thunder miss him a lot.

At this time, Mario Chalmers had already brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Dug at the free throw line.

The Heat have reached a consensus that it is fairest to hand basketball over to Snoopy. Although this matter will hurt Beasley's interests, Beasley doesn't mind, or he hasn't thought of this link in his head. He is thinking about one thing now: defeating Durant's team.

Facing Dug with the ball, Jeff Green didn't take him seriously.

As the No. 5 pick in 2007, he scored 10.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in his rookie season, and was selected to the rookie first team in the 07-08 season. In his eyes, Doug, a rookie full of flaws, is not worth mentioning at all.

"Come on pass the ball. I know you can't shoot."

Jeff Green is like a spoiler with no grace.

But Doug then gave him an unexpected plot.

boom!

Duge slapped the basketball quickly, moved his right foot extremely quickly, and cut sharply to the left.

Jeff Green subconsciously followed up, but then... bang!

Duger's right hand slapped the basketball quickly and forcefully to the right, and his left foot quickly followed. Although the pace is not big, but the lightning speed has cut off nearly 80% of Jeff Green's defensive positions, so he stepped forward.

Jeff Green turned around quickly, he stepped up his pace, and leaned tightly on Doug's side.

Sure enough, the nba is like a cloud of masters.

In the NCAA, generally Dug was caught off guard and finished this set of fierce crossovers, and few insiders could keep up.

But, Jeff Green did it.

And it is still going on, gradually eroding Dug's first-mover advantage.

This made Doug extremely eager to activate his stiff thighs. If his steps were bigger, Jeff Green would have no such opportunity at all.

But even so, he still headed towards the basket.

When he went deep into the penalty area, Robert Swift immediately closed in quickly, and the two surrounded Doug, trying to make his mistakes or steal directly.

However, this rookie let them down.

Duge stopped the ball immediately, and he grabbed the basketball with both hands. During the high-intensity physical confrontation between the two, Duge did not panic, and he could cope with their strength.

From the side of the Heat's bench, the short Doug was completely swallowed by two big men. He was about to remind Doug to simply call a timeout to protect the right to attack.

Unexpectedly, the basketball was suddenly thrown from Robert Swift's crotch, and David Anderson behind him easily caught the basketball.

The No. 2 center from the Australian national team easily completed dunks.

"So, this is a lure for the enemy to go deep?"

Smart's brows were frowned, and he couldn't be sure whether it was a mistake in desperation, or a pre-planned double-team attraction.

But anyway, now the Heat are only 12 points behind.

Changing sides to fight again, Jeff Green also received the ball from the free throw line. He tried to break through Duger's defense line and dunk in the paint, but his speed was not fast enough. Although Duger couldn't defend the ball from beyond the three-point line Attacker, but within the range of the free throw line, few people can tear his defense line one-on-one when stopped: because his calf speed is very fast now, within three steps, he has a certain advantage .

Jeff Green can only take a shaking change, and then a fadeaway jumper... Bang!

The basketball missed due to interference.

David Anderson clung to Robert Swift in the paint and Michael Beasley grabbed the rebound with ease.

Back at halftime, Doug still caught the ball at the free throw line and broke through.

Perfectly replicated the previous trajectory.

And, Robert Swift double-teamed again.

The result was still the same. Doug passed the ball around, but this time it was from Jeff Green's side to the left corner of the three-point line. Lamour, who had been waiting for a long time, made a three-pointer... Swish!

The point difference narrowed to single digits.

"So, Snoopy is really a point guard??"

Coach Smart felt like his head was going to show off.

Don't look at this kid's breakthrough posture is a bit awkward, but he actually completed two consecutive breakthroughs that were almost exactly the same. One inside pass, one inside pass outside, regained 5 points for the team.

How did he do it? How can he disintegrate the opponent's double-team?

Thunder coach also felt strange.

"Don't double-team him. Your strength can't control him." Russell Westbrook said the answer he guessed when organizing the next attack: "He is deliberately tricking you."

Russell knew Snoopy very well. How could someone as smart as him run into desperation again and again? The only possibility is: on purpose.

boom!

Russell Westbrook missed another pull-up jumper.

Dug easily received the rebound under the basket, and Jeff Green was stuck behind him, unable to fight.

The power advantage is too obvious.

Looking back, the Heat still attacked by Doug, but this time when he went deep into the basket, Robert Swift no longer double-teamed.

So, Doug immediately turned around and handed the ball to Michael Beasley, and at the same time leaned Jeff Green behind him. Give Beasley a wide enough central stage.

Beasley used gorgeous one-on-one skills to easily murder Wilkins' defense, then broke into the paint and struck the ball smoothly into the basket like a match.

7 points.

The Thunder suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and the coach quickly asked for a timeout.

Snoopy seems to have really revitalized the Heat's offensive system.

They actually played a smooth team offense.

This is too unexpected. You must know that none of their five players have NBA experience.
