On November 21, the audience seats at the Chesapeake Energy Arena were still mostly empty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAmong the fans who came to the stadium, there were many people who came to see Chris Paul. With a nine-game losing streak, how many people in Oklahoma City, which has not yet developed a good fan culture, would be willing to pay to see their team be defeated? Just like in the preseason, the Thunder were snubbed by Oklahoma City fans.

Whether or not Calesimo can stand on the sidelines and direct the game after today is another matter. The fans didn't feel sorry for Calesimo at all, they couldn't let the old guy go early, so as not to miss the growth of the three young people.

And the man in the black suit who was talking to Presti in the office that day also came to the scene today and sat in the VIP seat in the front row. Since it was previously announced that he would sign with ESPN to become a commentator, people were not surprised by his arrival, and maybe he was here to learn the commentary experience in this game.

After the man in the black suit sat down in his seat in the second row, he focused on observing the warm-up state of the three rookies of the Thunder team. Durant and Westbrook look listless, but Anjie, who was recently dropped, looks desperate. Did Calesimo promise to give him playing time?, the man in the black suit continued to wait and see, questioning.

Indeed, An Jie may be the most focused warm-up person in the entire Thunder team. Everyone else is still living in the haze of consecutive losses, but Anjie has overcome this difficulty and found a new goal. It was all thanks to Morris for the phone call he made.

Ten minutes later, the Hornets, led by Chris Paul, also warmed up, and since the Hornets spent briefly in Oklahoma City, the Thunder's home court was now the temporary home of the Hornets. So their popularity here is very high, and it can almost be said that half of Oklahoma City's home team.

Seeing the Hornets enter, the Oklahoma City fans let out a little cheer. There were even large signs in the stands with Chris Paul's face on them. This undoubtedly hit the confidence of the Thunder players even more, and even the fans at their home stadium turned to cheer for others, and they really felt very bitter in their hearts.

Calesimo yelled on the sidelines without grace, for fear that the Thunder would be lazy during the warm-up. This game will decide his fate, and he doesn't want to be fired for his laxity.

Presti also sat in a luxury box for this game, and the Thunder's performance really didn't attract any big names to rent a box to watch the game. Empty is also empty, Presti might as well bring a bottle of red wine and enjoy it in the box.

Today, though, he didn't care if he could lead the team to victory, and even if he got lucky enough to win, he could still find another reason to fire him. Presti came today to see how the man in the black suit would react when he saw the Thunder play.

There weren't many people sitting in the empty stands, and the game kicked off with a not-so-enthusiastic cheer.

An Jie still didn't get the chance to start, let alone start, whether An Jie can appear in this game is a question. But unlike the previous days, An Jie's eyes are still bright off the court, whether he is on the court for one minute or two minutes, he is ready to go up to fight at any time! It is not impossible to prove himself in a limited time! Morris can, and he An Jie is not bad!

The Hornets' starters are simply more than a notch better than the Thunder. On the inside, the Hornets have two powerful guys, Tyson Chandler and David West, and Collison and Wilcox can't escape the fate of being crushed.

At the small forward position, former Kings star Peja Stankovic is in charge.

In addition to Rassell Butler, who has a consistent scorer on the defensive line, Chris Paul is the core of the entire Hornets team.

Such a gap in the lineup seems to allow people to roughly judge the outcome of the game.

The Hornets' most eye-catching performance after the opening game was not Chris Paul, but the team's power forward David West.

In the face of Chris Wilcox's defensive black hole, David West is playing like a fish in water.

Under the sharp breakthrough of "Queen Bee" Paul, West hit two consecutive shots, while Wilcox, who defended him, stood far away from West both times.

After that, West began to play with his back to the single, afraid that Wilcox would not be able to defend him, Callesimo specially asked Collison and Wilcox to switch positions, and Collison, the center, defended West.

The result didn't change, as West easily shook Collison with his feet and hooked into the frame for an empty basket.

"The Thunder's interior defense! Why don't you want to send An Jie up to try it at this time!?" The CCTV commentator is also in a hurry, and he has been like this for nine consecutive games, which is really abnormal.

Calesimo clenched his fists on the sidelines, and if he continued to fight like this, he would lose his job in a few hours! He looked at the Frenchman Petro on the bench, and then at Anjie. Although he doesn't like the Chinese in terms of offensive play, Calesimo also has to admit that at least defensively, Anjie is indeed much better than Collison and Petro.

"Ann!" After hearing Calesimo call himself, An Jie did not wander, he was waiting for the summons at any time.

"I'll see you improve our defense!" Callesimo patted Anjie on the back, the first time the two of them had been so close.

An Jie ran to the front of the technical table and sat down, waiting for the substitution after the dead ball. Now he doesn't think about whether he's going to be substituted, he's not going to think about how many minutes he'll play. He'll give it his all!

The Hornets' offense, a traditional point guard like Chris Paul was a headache for the inexperienced Westbrook, and inadvertently, Paul's ball was passed out again.

Peja Stankovic took the ball and shot, but he somewhat underestimated Durant's follow-up speed. Durant stretched out his long arm and jumped with all his might, fanning Peja's shot off the court. The referee blows the whistle to signal that it is a throw-in.

Dead ball! An Jie immediately stood up! His height completely blocked the view of the technical desk staff.

After high-fives with Nick Collisson, Angel stepped onto the pitch. He felt like he had felt like he had been in a long time, not in a long time with this desire to fight.

Calesimo has already set up off the field, allowing Anjie to switch positions directly to defend West after coming on the field. An Jie looked up at his opponent, his eyes were very fierce.

"Is that you?

"An Jie is on the court! We haven't seen An Jie appear in the first quarter for a while! Let's see his performance!" The CCTV commentator suddenly came to his senses, and even the tone of his commentary was much stronger.

Seeing that the Thunder had replaced with a lanky center, West didn't even think about it and planned to play it himself.

After all, An Jie's playing time in these games is too little, and most of them are still playing in garbage time, so West doesn't know much about this guy who can cut 15+10 when facing Yao Ming.

However, when he began to compete with An Jie for the position, he realized that something was wrong.

"What's going on!?" West felt that it was very difficult for him to even hold a position, this Chinese spared no effort to wrestle with him, and the strength was not small!

None of the Thunder's starting centers can pose a threat to him, how can this third center be so difficult!

Paul saw that West had been unable to get a good position, and the offensive time was already halfway through. So he planned to attack on his own and began to change the rhythm of the dribble.

Paul is such a scary guy, he is a defender who puts the ball first, but if you think that Paul's independent offensive ability is poor, it is too ignorant.

Paul, who kept changing the rhythm, suddenly accelerated, and wiped the unresponsive Westbrook cleanly.

The queen bee, who went straight to the inside, suddenly jumped up and threw a soft throw, and Westbrook was helpless.

Seeing this, Anjie immediately left West and pounced on Paul, who had invaded the penalty area.

Just after Paul threw the ball, Angel jumped high in front of Paul, coupled with those long arms, such a height surprised Queen Bee.

In the air, An Jie actually grabbed the basketball directly!

"Is this a seizure!?" The commentators in the mainland were all excited.

However, the referee's hurried whistle shattered everyone's illusions, Paul's throw was not something that could be intercepted casually, Anjie did catch the ball, but at that time the basketball had begun to fall, it was a jamming ball.

Although it was a jamming ball, Paul was still shocked by Anjie's defensive height and broke out in a cold sweat. It seems that the next time I face this Chinese, I must be cautious.

Anjie had succeeded in intimidating his opponents, but he had not been able to conquer himself. He was still not satisfied with his defense, because the Hornets managed to score two points anyway.

Wu Hua saw An Jie's expression, and he quickly raised the camera to shoot frantically. He knew that An Jie, whom he knew and loved, was back!

Anjie ran to the half of the Hornets aggressively, but Tyson Chandler was not afraid of this Chinese at all, why is he not a ruthless character?

An Jie leaned on Chandler's position, and Chandler immediately came up with a small move. Ordinary people can't stand his small actions when defending, not to mention that this Chinese is still a rookie.

But to Chandler's surprise, Anjie was not affected in the slightest. When training with Divac, the old guy was much more aggressive than Chandler. After getting used to that level of interference, Chandler's carving insect skills couldn't affect An Jie for half a point at all.

Anjie held the position steadily, Chandler just wanted to push Anjie out, Westbrook's pass found Anjie!

An Jie caught the incoming ball and sat directly on Chandler. Back hit!

"You'll regret it, boy!" said Tyson Chandler, a defensive center, and now the rookie is unknowingly challenging him directly. Chandler, of course, didn't say yes!

"It's very courageous. The man in black who was sitting in the audience smiled and wrote something in his little notebook. This habit is really similar to Ricard.

"Bang!" But when An Jie exerted his strength, Chandler realized that he might have thought of this guy too simply. This time the momentum is heavy, and he Chandler can withstand it, and if he wants to replace someone else, he may have been knocked out of his defensive position a long time ago.

The first time Chandler didn't move, An Jie didn't lose heart, and continued to try the second time. This scene is simply very unusual for the Thunder's offense, with Durant and Westbrook both watching from the outside, just waiting for a center to play alone inside. In the hearts of Durant and Westbrook, only An Jie, who is connected to their fate, can get this treatment.

The second time, Chandler gritted his teeth and insisted, admitting that if this guy could still work harder, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Chandler has reached his limit, and An Jie can no longer exert more power. Seeing that it didn't work to hit him directly, An Jie was ready to use his own footsteps to get out of the opportunity.

Shake your shoulders and turn to the bottom line!

Chandler immediately blocked it, reluctant to give a chance.

"He deserves to be a top-notch interior defender!" An Jie also looked at Chandler in his heart.

However, just halfway through it, An Jie suddenly turned around on the spot and turned in the opposite direction of the bottom line. After that, he held the basketball high in his right hand, jumped on one foot with his right foot, and hooked his left leg, a very retro hook hand.

An Jie scored two points on the head of the "King of Boxing"!" The mainland commentators cheered, An Jie's movements were very fast and consistent, and most importantly, he could score goals.

"Hey Tyson! If you have the ability, you can pay me back on the offensive end!" After the goal was not finished, An Jie actually hooked his finger at Chandler, who was about to serve the baseline ball.

"Stinky boy!" Chandler scolded in his heart, but he didn't respond, but that didn't mean he was at peace.

An Jie is back! That seemingly modest and thin inner demon has now officially opened his bee trapping net!
