After tasting the sweetness in the high position, An Jie has no reason to continue to fight Yao Ming in the low position. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe center in this league who can still win in the low post and Yao Ming can be counted on just one hand. But it's clear that Anjie is not in that range.

Therefore, in the next few offenses of the Thunder team, Anjie mentioned the high post to receive the ball. His tactics are as sophisticated as ever, and his passes are very accurate, and he even makes a few very ornamental no-watch passes.

Once again, Anjie raised his basketball in the air near the free-throw line, and the entire Thunder team revolved around the conning tower.

Yao Ming, who was slow to move, didn't dare to go too far forward, so he was replaced by Argentine Luis Scola to defend Anjie in the high post. Although Scola's defense is good, he still looks a lot shorter to block Anjie's passes.

Seeing the right moment, Anjie distributed the ball to Westbrook. However, there was no smooth game from start to finish on the basketball court, and although Westbrook got a good chance, the shortcomings of inconsistent shooting percentage also played a role at this moment. Westbrook shot wide, and Yao Ming wasn't on the trajectory of the basketball pop-up, so he couldn't reach the rebound. Scola also defended Angel from the outside and wasn't within scrum rebounds. In the end, it was Sean Battier, who was not very good at rebounding, who got the ball, although the ball was not Anjie's fault, but Calesimo was irritable off the court.

In his eyes, if An Jie obediently fell into the low post just now, then the Thunder team would undoubtedly get a second chance to attack. This is one of the reasons why he doesn't like Anjie to get the ball in the high post, and the loss of this rebound makes him believe that Anjie's choice is wrong. Because in Calessimo's concept, even if Anjie is not in the high position, Durant and Westbrook can complete the task of scoring well.

"This damn middle ...... Guy!" Kalesimo originally wanted to scold this damn Chinese, but he was afraid that this scolding would be hyped up by reporters after hearing it, so he would definitely be labeled as racist, so in the middle of speaking, Calesimo suddenly changed his word.

Due to Anjie's outstanding performance and Durant's fiery touch, the Thunder played their momentum in the second quarter and approached the score all the way.

In such a situation, the Rockets had to call a timeout, and the fierce confrontation between the two sides finally stopped. Rockets coach Rick Adelman admires Anjie very much, and he is really worthy of being a student taught by Diya himself, and in Adelman's eyes, Anjie's performance just now is full of the shadow of Divac's time with the Kings. As the head coach of the Kings at the time, Adelman knew just how powerful such a center could be. Therefore, during this timeout, Adelman also specially arranged several defensive strategies for Anjie.

The timeout quickly passed, and the two sides returned to the field to continue fighting. Adelman also wanted to see if his tactics could curb An Jie's play, but what everyone didn't expect was that An Jie, who performed well, did not play!

"What!?Has the intention been seen through!?" Adelman overestimated Calesimo too much, and Carlesimo would not have thought that An Jie's threat had made the other party specially arrange tactics for him. After saying a few words to An Jie in dissatisfaction, he brought Nick Collison to the court to replace An Jie.

If Anjie is a superstar who has already made a name for himself, then Carasimo can tolerate it, after all, not all coaches' tactics are suitable for their players. But Anjie is just a small twelve-pick rookie, and this kind of person has no right to go beyond the head coach's tactics at all!

An Jie also thought that he would be praised by Kalesimo after his excellent performance on the court, but he didn't know that because he lost a few frontcourt rebounds, all of An Jie's efforts were in vain. The misalignment between the players and the coach's tactical philosophy has always been one of the problems that a team often has. It's just that An Jie didn't expect that such a thing would be his turn.

"An Jie was replaced, is there a problem with An Jie's physical fitness?" all the commentators asked in confusion, An Jie revitalized the entire Thunder team's offense on the court, if it wasn't for physical fitness or injury, they really couldn't think of a third reason for Calesimo to replace An Jie.

An Jie sat on the bench silently, this Chinese derby was a great opportunity for An Jie to show himself, and An Jie also played a good momentum. But now, looking at his teammates fighting on the field, An Jie can't do anything.

Later in the second quarter, Anjie was still not activated by Kalasimo, and if it were not for the pressure from Presti, Kalesimo would have been desperate to press the Chinese to the bench like this. But it can't be helped, the general manager of the team likes this guy, and he has to continue to give An Jie some playing time in the second half.

On the basis of Anjie's good scoring for the team, the Thunder won the Rockets by two points in this single quarter. At halftime, the aggregate score between the two sides became 42-41. The young and strong Thunder were not crushed by the Rockets, they were only one point behind. Anjie's excellent play and Durant, who scored nine points on four shots, became the main contributors to the Thunder's ability to play so well in this quarter.

"Durant played well! Russell, you also increased the number of independent offenses in the second half. After saying that, Karasimo's eyes fell on An Jie's. Karasimo moved his lips, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

Suddenly, Anjie's heart was infinitely missing Riccard, and he preferred to listen to Rickard's yelling that was about to burst out every two sentences, rather than listen to Calesimo's gentle words.

At half-time, Calesimo didn't listen to what Anjie said, and he would have said something like "Defend, our defend!" and "Kevin, you have to be bold!". In fact, An Jie guessed correctly, these two sentences are really the focus of Calasimo's halftime arrangement.

At the beginning of the second half, An Jie still sat directly on the bench, and the domestic fans were anxious. Obviously, the Chinese derby in the first half of the second quarter was very exciting, but it was ruthlessly cut off by Karasimo's performance. Now it seems that Karasimo has no intention of letting the two Chinese giants continue their performances.

Wu Hua could see An Jie's predicament, after all, he was a reporter who had followed An Jie since he played in the NCAA, and he knew the big boy better than all other media. He could see that An Jie and the head coach must have a problem, because even if the team fell behind by a big score, An Jie has always been high-spirited, and he will never have such a disappointed look now.

Playing less time as a rookie naturally leads to less playing time, and it is this that covers up the rift between Karasimo and Anjie. The outside world doesn't know, but Anjie and Karasimo know it very well in their hearts.

However, this game is really a dilemma for Karasimo, because no matter who he replaces, Yao Ming can always be domineering on the inside. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to An Jie's comeback, if he, the head coach, does not replace An Jie, the only one who can compete with Yao Ming, then it is equivalent to directly provoking the discord between him and An Jie to the outside world.

Under pressure from the outside world, An Jie still came on the court with five minutes left in the third quarter.

This time, Anjie strictly implemented Karasimo's tactics, and when he attacked, he went to the low position without hesitation. The results can be known, with Yao Ming in the three-second zone, An Jie can't do much in the low position. Although Anjie did grab two offensive rebounds in this way, his performance of shooting one of four also made him like two in the first half.

Not only Anjie, but Durant and Westbrook, who lacked organization, also showed their immaturity in the second half. Westbrook, in particular, was a first-year student, who, like Anjie, only made one of four shots. These two '08 duos, who attracted much attention and anticipation before the start of the season, were both dumbfounded in the third quarter.

Yao Ming did wonder why An Jie was still fighting with him in a low position without taking advantage. Judging from An Jie's performance in the first half, he shouldn't be the kind of guy with a tendon. The ball that shook Scola and himself in a row also just showed Anjie's cleverness.

Yao Ming couldn't understand it, but he would never be soft on this.

With Yao Ming and Maddy attacking both inside and outside, the Thunder still couldn't withstand the pressure at the end of the third quarter. After playing the second quarter that everyone was looking forward to, the Thunder's third quarter game clearly gave people a feeling of lack of stamina. 59-65, the Rockets continued to maintain their lead over the Thunder.

But basketball is a 48-minute game to decide, and now the Thunder are only six points behind, which is not a margin that would be enough to condemn a team to death. What's more, the Rockets are a team that has a reputation for not playing in the fourth quarter.

In the end, who killed the deer will have to fight until the last moment to close the coffin.
