The Way of the Center

Chapter 68 : First appearance

The wonderful goal made Durant stand up from the bench with excitement. He frantically waved the towel in his hand. Last season he had never seen anyone who could stabilize the situation when he left the field. Now It seems that these two guys as big as him are indeed very powerful.

After An Jie scored the goal, the Thunder officially announced that they had come out of the quagmire of no scoring. With four minutes left in the first quarter, the Thunder moved the score to a 12 tie.

The head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, Scott Skiles, knew that the momentum of the Thunder’s young team had risen. He hurriedly called a timeout. In addition to arranging some tactics, it is more important not to allow The momentum of the group of young people continued.

After Anjie and Westbrook were off the field, all their teammates gathered around and high-five them. These two young men have already won a place in the Thunder with their performance.

“The buckle is beautiful.” Durant touched An Jie’s head even more. This big boy who usually doesn’t talk much underneath also showed his rare passion today.

When Skyles expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Bucks, the Thunder coach P.J. Carlesimo did not make any constructive changes. He just told his players to pay attention to defense over and over again, and he didn’t say a word other than that.

After the timeout ended, Kevin Durant, who just had a bad hand, returned to the court again. This is the first time that the Thunder’s three top cards have appeared at the same time today.

Wu Hua held up the camera in the reporter area and took a photo of three young people waiting to play on the sidelines. When this photo was used in the column later, the comment below the photo was “The present and future of the Thunder” .

The timeout was over and Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Angel walked onto the court at the same time. At this moment, they are not afraid of Michael Reed, Richard Jefferson and Andrew Bogut who were ridiculed by the media as the “Poor Man’s Big Three”.

Similar configuration, similar strengths, whether the veteran is immortal or blue, the battle between the Thunder and the Bucks continues to escalate!

Michael Reid is quite concerned about the missed shot just now. Obviously everything was done perfectly before, but the final blow failed to end. How can one make up for a failure? The best way is of course to make up for it with another perfect attack.

Ridnour handed the ball to Reid in the first half of the game. When Westbrook tensed his nerves, Reid, who had just been extremely eager to attack, passed the ball again.

Richard Jefferson hit the ball directly into the penalty area. This move also allowed the Thunder power forward Wilcox to stay in the penalty area for a while. In the subconscious, he felt that he had to stay to make up for it.

Durant didn’t lose his position this time. Jefferson suddenly passed the ball after halfway through. Wilcox raised his hands to interfere. Unexpectedly, the ball passed outside the free throw line.

Villanueva! Another chance to score! After Jefferson broke through, he immediately withdrew. One is to make room for his teammates, and the other is to give himself a chance to get out and shoot.

An Jie, who was entangled with Bogut, couldn’t make up his defense, and could only watch Villanueva easily hit the ball after the free throw line.

It’s not the first time Wilcox has missed someone today, not to mention that his matchup with Villanueva is still an insider with a wide range of attacks. On the defensive end, Wilcox is simply a **** hole.

The Thunder fans were very helpless, but after a second they immediately became excited again, because the three rookies of the Thunder are about to start attacking at the same time!

Westbrook obviously has control of the ball in his own hands. He carefully observes the running position of his teammates, but in fact the first choice in his mind is to break through!

But Michael Reid did not let Westbrook do what he wanted this time. His defense has not wavered. Westbrook tried to break several times and hit a wall.

Seeing that this little brother has been unable to make a difference, Durant raised his hand and asked for the ball. He still hasn’t scored a point in the game, and he can’t hold back on the court.

After the third breakthrough was unsuccessful, Westbrick still gave up his intention to attack, obediently handing the ball to Durant who couldn’t wait.

Durant receives the ball, An Jie wants to come up for the pick and roll, but Durant actually waved his hand, he wants to play singles!

In the Tornado, such a situation will never happen. Because Ricard has a very clear arrangement, and everyone in the Tornado team has faithfully implemented Ricard’s orders.

But everything is very different in the Thunder. P.J. Carlesimo’s tactics are very unclear, and more depends on the players’ decisions on the spot to play.

Seeing that Durant doesn’t need a pick-and-roll, and An Jie can only pull out of the penalty area, but he still trusts this teammate who has proven himself.

As a result, everyone’s surprise happened. Durant’s forcible breakthrough layup was actually deviated from the target under the interference of veteran Richard Jefferson. And this ball hasn’t fouled yet!

Seeing that the ball hadn’t scored Bogut, he immediately got stuck in the position. An Jie also felt for the first time that it was not easy to match up with a top-level player.

Amidst the expectant cheers of the Thunder fans, the first collaboration of these three young people ended in this way.

“It seems that Durant is really out of shape today. He has not scored three consecutive attacks. Durant hasn’t scored a goal in the game until now!” Even the commentator couldn’t believe his eyes. For the old Jefferson Durant, who was no longer at his peak, he still didn’t seize the opportunity.

There was a problem with the Thunder, but the Bucks just adjusted from the timeout. The subsequent attack Michael Reid finally made up for it. After breaking through Westbrook, he made a sudden stop for a mid-range jumper.

The second offense of the trio. This time they did not go solo. The ball passed Westbrook and An Jie’s hands. When An Jie was about to advance into the penalty area, he handed the ball again. To Durant.

Faced with Jefferson’s two-step late defense, Durant still resolutely chose to shoot.

“!” But the result did not change, Durant’s cold touch still!

An Jie just planned to take off with all his strength to get offensive rebounds, but Bogut held An Jie so that he couldn’t jump. The Thunder once again returned without success!

Durant what’s wrong? This is the only question in the hearts of Thunder fans. You know, in the last regular season SuperSonics vs. Warriors competition, Durant scored 42 points and shot 72%! It was in that last game that Durant announced in a high-profile manner that he would make a comeback.

The results of it? The first quarter of the new season is almost over, and Durant’s score is still zero!

Michael Reid won’t wait for Durant to recover. He and Richard Jefferson opened the bow left and right, and Wilcox frequently gave Villanueva gifts, and the score was fast. Once again was pulled away!

When the first quarter ended, the original score became 14 to 24, and the ten-tenth gap once again fell heavily on the young Thunder team. After returning from that timeout, the Thunder scored two points with a breakthrough from Westbrook, and An Jie never made a shot on the court. After showing off with Westbrook in the first half of the first quarter, he was obviously bleak in the second half.

“An Jie doesn’t seem to be too adapted to the team’s rhythm, right?” The mainland commentators analyzed the reasons for the Thunder’s failure in the first quarter and inevitably talked about An Jie.

“I don’t think the problem lies in adapting or not adapting, but the team simply doesn’t have a clear offensive mindset. Anyone who gets the ball can play, and sometimes those who have a real chance can’t get the ball.” PJ Carlesimo The level of coaching was also questioned at this time.

“Kevin, it’s okay, don’t be affected by the cold touch in the first quarter, you continue to shoot in the second half, you have to have confidence in yourself!” During the break of the first quarter, after PJ Calesimo made this decision, Anjie With Westbrook’s face full of black lines, is this Thunder team only Durant capable of offensive? However, as rookies, they are not yet qualified to question the decision of the head coach.

As a result, Durant hit the iron twice in the second quarter. Without the need of his teammates, Durant knew he should give up the right to fire.

Earl Watson strictly implemented P.J. Carlesimo’s arrangement. He didn’t care if Durant had the opportunity to throw the ball directly. Anyway, that guy has the ability to create opportunities on his own.

When Durant faced the rim again with the ball, he knew that he could no longer play in his own way. He looked at Angel and Westbrook. This Thunder team was very different from the past. So he can no longer play as before.

“What will Durant do this time? This is… Durant dropped the ball into the penalty area!” After An Jie hadn’t had a chance, the mood of the Chinese commentators and fans They have been cooling for a long time, and now, this exciting scene has finally appeared.

Anjie was a little unprepared for Durant’s sudden pass, so when he received the ball he was not in a good offensive position. But even if his teammates have given the ball, then Anjie doesn’t need to be humble anymore.

“Posted singles! In the previous two attacks, Anjie scored with Westbrick in the sports battle, and this is the first time Anjie got the chance of a backsed singles in this game! At Anjie University At the time, back-up singles is his most efficient means of scoring!”

Facing Bogut, Anjie knew that he couldn’t win by strength alone. The rough Australians kept grabbing Anjie’s jersey, and the NBA, as Divac said, there is no good at all!

An Jie quickly turned around with his footsteps and slipped towards the bottom line, but Bogut’s tenacious resistance made An Jie very difficult every step he took.

“This is not where you should be! You should continue to be your star in college!” During the confrontation, Bogut also yelled in Angel’s ear to achieve the purpose of interfering with the attacking rhythm and putting pressure on the opponent. .

Anjie turned a deaf ear, the **** that Morris sprayed in his ear before was much worse than Bogut’s.

After 　　 hard to eat directly below the basket, An Jie raised his hand and raised the ball, ready to complete the hook directly below the basket. Bogut knew that he couldn’t interfere with An Jie by standing alone. He jumped up, spotted An Jie’s ball-handler, and prepared to fan the ball cleanly to end the confrontation.

But An Jie was just about to take a shot, but he suddenly retracted the basketball he was holding high, and then he quickly turned in the opposite direction at the bottom of the basket and completed the hook from the other side of the basket.

“Hey! The dexterous footsteps of the Chinese are impressive!” The ESPN commentator laughed. An Jie completed the entire action very smoothly, without any muddles, and he hadn’t seen such a wonderful insider confrontation for a long time. .

“Next time you want to stop me, you have to be smart. After all, I deliberately slowed down a bit when I just shook you.” Bogut never expected that this **** Chinese rookie would dare to humiliate him!

The brutal confrontation with Bogut allowed Anjie to release his wildness. Divac said that there was devil blood flowing in Anjie, and he was never a good gentleman!

It is the first time for Anjie to get a chance to play a singles in the Thunder.
