Why is Westbrook s shooting different in the Clippers Thunder? The second round of iron comes out of the sky, and the Nuggets are worried

When Westbrook faces his old club Thunder's "normalization" of his shots again and again, perhaps the most depressing thing is the Los Angeles Clippers fans -

"Westbrook's shooting is not so iron-out when he plays the Clippers."

Faced the Clippers in the first round, and the Clippers adopted a strategy of putting the ball against Westbrook, and the latter turned into a sharpshooter, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 41.9%;

, and facing the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round, Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage has only 22.7%.

In fact, the reason why Westbrook is like a divine help when shooting against the Clippers, while facing the Thunder's poor shooting drags down the Nuggets' space on the field is closely related to the defensive resources of the two teams.

In other words, the Clippers' defensive resources are worrying, and the players are serious, so it is difficult to have the attributes of Leonard's offense and defense.

Jones and others focus on defense and offense. Most of the time he is away from the penalty area and needs to assist the inside defending Jokic, and then he is not caught in the natural force of defending the outside.

, while Powell Harden focuses on offense and defensiveness, stubbornly Tyron Lue had to entrust these two brothers with a long time in order to make the space on the field. Therefore, Powell and Harden are responsible for defensive Westbrook's task most of the time. At this time, Westbrook's pressure naturally dropped sharply in the face of defensive...

I wonder how many Clippers fans want to trade it after watching Powell's playoff performance this year?

In contrast, the Thunder have certain defensive abilities, both the starting and the substitute, and Sai Yaggio's defense is worrying in the playoff rotation lineup. However, Joe's rotation order is the last of the team, almost falling out of the rotation lineup...

The Thunder are even more defensive vanguards Caruso, Dort and others. The team is solid in both the outside and the inside. Its profound defensive resources are far comparable to the Clippers?

At this time, Westbrook faced high-pressure defense, and the three-point shooting rate dropped sharply, isn't it?

After all, the reason why Westbrook made efficient shooting against the Clippers was not that he felt amazing, but that he made a shot that was comparable to his usual training level.

Defense has always been the foundation of the Thunder. Today, the Western Conference semi-finals matched the Nuggets G4. After the Thunder strengthened their defense, wouldn't it be that the Nuggets' score was limited to 18 points in the final quarter.

Today, facing the Thunder, suffocating defense. Instead of saying Westbrook lost his shot, it is better to say that he is powerless in the face of the Thunder's defense and is ultimately helpless.

Westbrook played 2 of 12 shots and 2 of 9 three-pointers. He only scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the game, and 6 fouls were particularly conspicuous.

It is worth mentioning that Westbrook had a net loss of 20 points when he was on the court today, with the worst positive and negative values ​​in the team.

Westrow came on as a substitute with more than 5 minutes left in the first quarter. He came up and missed a three-pointer, then missed a layup with an empty cut, and also missed a second consecutive attack. In less than 3 minutes, Westbrook made 0 of 6 shots and failed to score, and he made no contribution.

After the first quarter, the Nuggets made 2 of 22 shots and 0 of 14 three-pointers. Who can say that Westbrook has no contribution?
