The Way of the Center

Chapter 70 ：Episode 1 now

Same as in the preseason rehearsal, Westbrook and Ann Masterpiece both appeared as the starters in the second half. Paired with Durant and Wilcox, who scored 13 points in the first half, this is already the strongest offensive lineup the Thunder can come up with.

Even though Durant hit a wall in the first half offensively, he was still the first choice in the Thunder’s offense. But in the face of his cold hand, Durant was not so confident in his offense for the first time.

His few fake moves and rhythm changes caused Richard Jefferson’s center of gravity to shake. After a breakthrough, Durant jumped high and prepared to shoot. Unexpectedly, Villanueva made up his defense and Durant saw interference. It was very serious. He just changed the shot into a pass in the air and barely passed the ball back to Westbrook.

Westbrook knew that Michael Reid, who was serious now, could not be broken so easily, so he beckoned and ordered a high pick-and-roll for Anjie.

Westbrook took advantage of Anjie’s high-quality cover to throw off Michael Reid and rushed towards the penalty area with all his strength. While Westbrook went deep into the penalty area, Anjie also moved to a forty-five degree position near the free throw line. The offensive cooperation of these two men made the Bucks wonder who is the final point.

Westbrook’s breakthrough attracted the blockade of Villanueva and Bogut, while Michael Reid had to look at the precision Angel of CIC. Eh? Is there one less person?

Westbrook took off against Bogut, he never feared physical contact.

He made a layup and actually passed the ball, another beautiful breakthrough. Anjie received this high pass, and Michael Reid was completely unable to intercept it. Without a second of hesitation, An Jie passed the ball again after touching the ball.

With the wide transfer of these two passes, the camera finally kept up with the speed of the pass and captured the person who received the ball last.

“Kevin Durant got an open three-pointer!” ESPN’s narrator shouted. In the first half, Durant mostly defended and attacked. Such a beautiful match is not seen in the first half. Arrived!

After receiving passes from two new teammates, Durant took a deep breath. Team, he has always forgotten that he still has his teammates to rely on.

Before Jefferson’s defense was in place, Durant made his seventh shot. He didn’t make it for the first six times. I hope this time it can break the embarrassment.

There were too many difficult shots, and suddenly he got an open shot. Durant felt that he was very relaxed.

“Does Durant have this time!? A three-pointer! The sword is finally out of the sheath!” The commentator of the live broadcast platform finally exaggerated. After all, which team the Chinese players are in, which team will become The home team of the Chinese in the NBA. Seeing that the Thunder’s trump card finally broke the scoring shortage, the commentator was extremely happy.

“Hahaha, good job!” Durant had never felt that the offense would be so smooth and easy. He looked at his two new partners with a smile on his face, feeling happy.

After successfully defending Villanueva’s three-pointer, Westbrook once again fought back aggressively with the ball.

As before, Westbrook handed the ball to Durant in the first half of the game. Unexpectedly, this time Durant directly gave up his intention to attack with the ball and passed the ball back immediately.

As a point guard, Westbrook has always been pointed out by people for his strong offensive desire, so he also forced himself to adapt to the way of passing for others. But now the team boss actually specified that he should hold the ball. Doesn’t this fit Westbrook’s wish.

The confident Westbrook dribbled the ball quickly and broke through again against Michael Reid in a few strokes. Reid was sweating profusely. Perhaps this kid is still lacking in game reading ability and offensive stability, but on breakthrough alone, this Westbrook is really not covered!

Break, take off, Bogut fouls. Westbrook’s strong impact allowed him to get two free throw opportunities.

Although Westbrook played the ball himself, Durant knew that his opportunity would certainly not slip away.

For the third offense, Westbrook fed the ball into An Jie’s hands. An Jie made a fake shot from the basket to fool Bogut and Villanueva into jumping. Taking advantage of this time difference, Wilcox and Durant also completed a ball-free pick-and-roll cooperation. An Jie started to pass the ball, Durant shot again in the open space, the basketball shot into the net with precision like a missile.

The fourth ball Durant and Anjie mentioned high post to make a double pick-and-roll tactic for Westbrook. Westbrook did not waste the efforts of two teammates and made a 2+1 for the inside.

“Once again from the cooperation of three people! When these three young people know how to cooperate with each other, the seemingly indestructible defense of the Bucks was officially broken by the Thunder!” Smart, this is the ESPN commentator. Evaluation of the three lads. Durant has excellent off-ball ability, Westbrook has a strong impact ability, and Anjie is the one who organizes the offense on the court. Westbrook’s passes will pass through An Jie’s hands, and An Jie will decide who is the teammate of the last hit.

Divac’s teachings are really deeply imprinted in An Jie’s heart. In terms of high-level support ability, Divac is definitely the top existence in the current alliance, and An Jie has inherited his master well. Of this feature.

Oklahoma City’s offense is excellent now. Was it Calesimo arranged it? Do not! That was Westbrook, An Jie, and Durant who figured it out on their own! In addition, Westbrook, who has a slightly poor reading ability, has not seen the good intentions of his two teammates. He just smoothed the offense without knowing it.

If there is a good coach who can strengthen the three boys’ style of play, then the Thunder will definitely be able to keep the score close! Unfortunately, the head coach of the Thunder is the self-righteous P.J. Carlesimo.

Substitution, Nick Collison replaces Angel, Quincy Dolby replaces Westbrook. In the eyes of P.J. Carlesimo, there are enough opportunities for these two rookies, and now it is time for Durant to pursue the victory.

Durant, who recovered his touch in the third quarter, did greatly improve his shooting percentage, but the Thunder’s counterattack momentum disappeared “inexplicably”. Thanks to Carlesimo’s timely substitutions, the Bucks worked hard and again. An Jie and the others finally opened the looming score. Although the three cores of the Bucks have been ridiculed by the media as the “Big Three”, the power of these three people is more powerful than that of a rookie, Durant.

The third quarter of the game also ended in the Thunder’s high-open and low-walk, 79 to 59. In the hot state of the poor Big Three, the Thunder was just a 20-point gap away by the Bucks!

“A lot of Oklahoma City fans have already exited early! Disappointing NBA debut. It is true that you can occasionally see the flash of the Thunder in the game, but that is just a flash in the pan.” An Jie, Durant and Weiss The excellent chemistry of the three of Tebrucks was also buried under this huge difference. Apart from Durant and Anjie, who else could see that the style of play just now was intentional?

Organizing center? Centers in the league have long been synonymous with blue-collar and coolie. Even Bogut, who has performed well for the Bucks, has to become the fourth choice of the team after Villanueva.

In the past, Anjie always saw news about conflicts between NBA players and coaches when he read the newspaper. At that time, he still didn’t quite understand. How could the coach who has been helping the players read the game conflict with the players? But now, An Jie can roughly understand how the contradictions arise.

The Thunder, which gave up in the fourth quarter, allowed Angel and Westbrook to play for a long time, but the team’s performance turned out to be very good.

The Thunder lost to the Bucks in the first three quarters, but the Thunder exceeded their opponents in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. But to outsiders, it was just the result of the Bucks’ relaxation. Only the Bucks players know that they don’t dare to relax on the court at all!

The troubles those three rookies brought to them are far beyond their previous imagination But after all, Anjie and the others are not playing a mature system, but the method they came up with today. . Relying on an immature temporary tactic to defeat an NBA-level team is simply a dream.

98 to 88, the Thunder finally lost their NBA debut by ten percent, and An Jie also ended his first real NBA game in a gloomy mood. Counting the preseason, the Thunder have lost five games in a row, and Anjie hasn’t won even a game since he landed in the NBA.

With 13 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, An Jie’s NBA debut was undoubtedly successful based on his personal performance. However, An Jie was greatly affected by the Tornado team. Even if it was a new team, An Jie still won the team. Put it first. His stats are good, but the team loses, and An Jie can’t be happy.

Presti did not see the problem, but this is also the first game, and Carlesimo has only been coaching this new team for a short time. The Thunder are not a strong team, so Presti decided to wait and see Carlesimo for a while.

An Jie has been unable to usher in his first NBA victory, but the Chinese fans are not at all worried about this issue. This NBA live broadcast satisfies their curiosity very well, allowing them to see the strength of this Chinese big man who emerged out of thin air. As long as your own players play well, as for the problems facing the Thunder, who will care?

On a hard night, the Milwaukee people returned to their hometown with satisfaction with their first victory of the season, but the three sharp blades of the Thunder have yet to meet anyone who can make them shine Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
