"The fast-break three-pointer was not seen with the Trail Blazers last season. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but as we've said, the Trail Blazers' signings this summer have made them feel like they've been reborn. "Mike. Brin had to applaud the Trail Blazers' performance, and it didn't take long for the starting lineup to come up before the score was overtaken. For the next few minutes, I really don't know how the Thunder will respond.

Fortunately, Westbrook stepped up at this point. His pull-up jumper interrupted the Trail Blazers' high-swing momentum and halted the Thunder's decline.

In fact, Westbrook's performance today is much better than the previous game, and the reason why the Thunder will be overtaken can only be said to be that the Trail Blazers' performance in the second quarter is too good.

Starting with Lillard leading the team's second team, to the return of starters such as Angel and Aldridge. The Trail Blazers have always controlled the tempo on the court, and the Thunder have always been the ones who have struggled to catch up. Yes, don't look at the Trail Blazers just took the lead, but the Thunder were indeed chased.

For the remainder of the second quarter, both sides played at a level of play. The Thunder stepped up their defense, while the Trail Blazers kept their offense strong. A few minutes later, Lillard and Durant also returned to the court, and the two sides once again traded in the configuration of the starting five.

Until the end of the first half, no one was able to take advantage of it. But at least Ricard has achieved his goal.

At 51-44, the Trail Blazers led the Thunder by seven points on the road.

Rickard hurried back to the locker room, the team would be behind, and Anjie and Lillard's wonderful combination again and again accounted for a lot of weight. Before setting up the defensive strategy, Riccard had no idea that the two guys, who had only worked together for the second game, would be so accommodating.

Indeed, when the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers in the first game, Anjie and Lillard also played a moment of inspiration. But after only two days, these two guys have made such rapid progress!

Rickard has to cut the line between Lillard and Angel, but how easy is it to do that?

The third quarter began with hoarse shouts from fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, who didn't want to see the team start the season with a two-game losing streak.

But as soon as it started, the fans here were in a bad shot.

Durant was going to take a three-point shot directly after receiving a pass from Westbrook, but Iguodala's defense blocked Durant's shooting space.

There was no way, Durant had to pass the ball to Sephorosa, who was answering on the side. Seferosa did not hesitate to receive the ball and immediately threw it back to Morris.

Morris suddenly turned around and broke through, An Jie really didn't react, he didn't even expect Morris to break through directly to himself!

But Morris didn't attack the frame after breaking through, but threw the ball outside the three-point line. Although the conduction of patience is indeed Jeff. Van Gundy conveyed to them at halftime, but anyone who understands it can tell that the Thunder's offense was a bit too draggy.

The purpose of passing the ball is to tear apart the opponent's defense and get better opportunities, if you choose to continue to pass after getting the opportunity, then the transmission is redundant.

Morris still chose to pass the ball after breaking through Anjie, which also reflected Anjie's strong deterrent power from the other side. Even if the opponent has already broken through him, he will not dare to act rashly!

In the end, Westbrook became the one to shoot the basketball. However, the rhythm was already out of order, and he couldn't throw the ball in at all.

The basketball stumbled out of the frame, and Morris struggled to get up to make a basket, but he didn't hit the basket.

The second time, An Jie did not give his brother another chance. After firmly controlling the rebound in his own hands, Anjie handed the ball to Lillard, and Lillard ran long distance, passed through the crack to the basket, and forced a layup against Westbrook's defense!

With Westbrook's strong body distracting, Lillard missed a layup, but a free throw opportunity was a sure deal.

Westbrook began to complain to the referee, and the referee discussed it with Westbrook in a serious manner. But the result is certainly not going to change.

"This guy, if he has a stronger finishing ability under the basket, he can be used as Westbrook's." When Divac watched a Thunder game a few years ago, he didn't see this kind of footage.

Anjie made a long pass from the backfield, and Westbrook drove straight in. Easily, the Thunder scored two points.

Today, Anjie almost replicated that scene with the Trail Blazers. You must know that for the whole season last season, An Jie had no way to give full play to his advantage in accurate long passes. Although Lillard couldn't score the ball directly today, it also gave people a glimpse of the Trail Blazers' rich tactical possibilities.

Fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena cheered as hard as they could, hoping to disrupt the rookie, who had only played two official NBA games. But the calm Lillard disappointed Thunder supporters, and with four years of college basketball experience, he simply wouldn't be bluffed.

Two free throws and two hits, with just one point missing, the Trail Blazers will widen the margin to double digits!

See this situation, Jeff. Van Gundy immediately called a timeout, even though the quarter had just begun.

"Russell, Kevin, stop your solo fight." Van Gundy knew it was time for him to change his tactical thinking.

All of Van Gundy's tactics revolve around Westbrook and Durant. And his ultimate goal is to give Westbrook and Durant easy singles opportunities. But now, it is clear that this tactic has failed. He needs to get the two guys closer together to reverse the disadvantage.

"Small-scale coordination!" Jeff. Van Gundy immediately drew the tactical board, and Westbrook and Durant watched it very seriously.

Ever since Anjie left, the Thunder have been missing a conning tower. Durant and Westbrook are really not the kind of people who know how to handle the distribution of the ball compared to Anjie. It's just that the Thunder's strong lineup and the strong strength of the second youth allow the Thunder team to cover up this shortcoming.

Think about it, if the Thunder had someone who controlled the tempo and ball possession last season, Westbrook wouldn't have used mistakes to spy on the opposing defense in the final moments during the Finals.

They won't themselves, there Calder will let them! Draw tactics on the tactics board, you should always understand it. As long as Westbrook and Durant play according to the tactics, then they won't have any problems.

After the timeout, Van Gundy had already drawn the tactical board in his hand. Durant and Westbrook looked at each other, gave each other a slight nod, and then stepped onto the court to continue the fight!

"Small-scale coordination, small-scale coordination." The lines on the tactical board were still clearly imprinted in Westbrook's mind, and he restrained himself and stopped rampage. In fact, Westbrook's passing level and passing vision are excellent, but his character and strong individual ability make his style of play so straightforward.

Anjie and the others naturally didn't know what Van Gundy had arranged, but the embankment Westbrook was always right. He's always the Thunder's top shot, so it's always the first rule to recognize him.

Westbrook didn't make a smooth breakthrough this time, and Lillard, who was able to play happily, made Westbrook feel annoying entanglement.

At this moment, Durant, who is usually committed to finding an open space to run on his own, actually ran up to make a wall for Westbrook!

Westbrook made a quick flash and successfully completed the pick-and-roll cooperation with Durant.

Westbrook broke through, and Durant crossed with him to the bottom corner.

Iguodala ultimately decided to go with Durant, but that gave Westbrook a starting point.

The guy made a cautious throw, avoiding both Angel and Aldridge's blocks, as well as the basketball being snatched away by Lillard.

A simple pick-and-roll made the Thunder shrink by two points, and Westbrook and Durant both tasted the sweetness, and they decided to continue playing like this in the future!

On the Trail Blazers' side, Lillard first handed the ball to Anjie. Angel holds the ball with his back to the basket while Lillard struggles to cut inside.

Iguodala and Matthews' tugging gave Lillard plenty of room to run, and just as he was cutting to the basket from the bottom corner, Anjie's pass was sent out again.

Anjie hit the ground, and Lillard jumped after receiving the ball. Westbrook stretched out his body for the block, but Lillard wasn't aiming for a layup from the side he was driving through.

Lillard swept under the basket, and when he reached the other side of the basket, the guy made a move. A pull move not only allowed Lillard to evade Westbrook's pursuit, but also allowed him to avoid Ibaka's block.

After Westbrook and Durant completed a beautiful initial combination, Angel and Lillard also returned the favor with a very ornamental pass. There are not only Durant and Westbrook who can play a small-scale combination on this court.

Subsequently, Westbrook and Durant's close cooperation allowed Durant to easily hit a mid-range shot. And for the next defensive round, everyone on the Thunder team has also been spying on Lillard's passing route for a long time.

He will definitely give Anjie! This is the law of thunder! As long as the passing path between Lillard and Anjie is cut off, the Thunder will be able to launch a counterattack with a mistake!

Sure enough, this time Lillard was pushing fast, as Anjie was already on the edge of the three-second zone.

This kind of stance is a typical offensive stance. Lillard gives the ball to the interior, and Angel chooses whether to play or attack.

After getting past Westbrook with a nice turn, Lillard raised his right hand as he went, intending to make another ground-and-go pass to Angel!

Seeing this situation, Morris suddenly came out, and he kept a distance from An Jie for this moment!

However, just as Morris was about to steal, Lillard's pass did not fly to Anjie, but passed under his own crotch and flew to the other side.

On the other side, Aldridge catches the ball and throws it. What about Ibaka? Ibaka is still in the three-second zone, waiting to help defend Angel with Morris.

"What a beautiful pass! This kind of scene of sound and blowing, no matter how many times you watch it, you will not get tired of it! ”

Jeff. Van Gundy suddenly felt that things were getting complicated again, not because of a fancy pass that scared him, but because he suddenly realized......

"Lillard drives to the basket! Oh no, the basketball flew over Ibaka's head, and Aldridge followed closely behind, and the dunk was slammed! ”

"Ann has the ball again, will he give it to Lillard who cuts in? No, no, AnJie and Aldridge completed a typical small-range line matchup. ”

"Aldridge rolls over and jumpers! No, not lazy. Aldridge slipped the ball back, and Lillard just got in time to get there! Repeat! Iguodala mid-range jumper, hit! ”

Westbrook and Durant's dominance didn't last long before the Trail Blazers immediately suppressed the game.

Van Gundy suddenly realized that the Trail Blazers were not the only ones who could complete the connection.

With the addition of Aldridge, it means that Angel and Lillard can have several times more tactical options. On the Thunder's side, only Westbrook and Durant can shoulder the scoring load.

3 to 2, it's a simple numerical advantage.

Van Gundy has gradually lost control of the game, and when Anjie and Lillard are pinched together, the Trail Blazers are in trouble enough.

And now, Aldridge has joined the ranks of Anjie and Lillard.

Three-person connection? This is truly an unexpected evolution......
