244. Unprecedented game experience_3

He shoots better than Harden; although his success rate at driving to the basket is slightly lower, the gap is not big, and he has a greater variety of moves, is faster, and has a stronger impact when attacking the rim.

The fact that the Lakers were willing to trade Howard, who was touted as 'the one to swap for James,' for him is the best proof of his ability; he is unstoppable one-on-one.

Moreover, his one-on-one plays tonight are significantly different from what the Thunder Team expected!

No matter how good or bad the opportunity is, as long as there's a chance for an isolation play, he'd shoot without hesitation, and he's wildly accurate too!

When he initiates the offense, the Thunder Team can only move early to double-team, and whoever between Nash and Gasol is in a better position will provide support; in the following possessions, the Lakers continue to press the Thunder Team, at one point leading by a score of 14 to 9, stretching the lead to as much as 5 points.
