Chapter 70: A flash in the pan

As in pre-season drills, Westbrook and Ann Masterpiece both started in the second half. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 With Durant and Wilcox, who scored 13 points alone in the first half, this is already the strongest offensive lineup that the Thunder can handle.

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

He shook Richard Jefferson's center of gravity after a few feints and rhythm changes, and after a breakthrough, Durant jumped high and was ready to shoot, but Veranineuve made up for it, Durant saw that the interference was very serious, and he turned the shot into a pass in the air, and reluctantly passed the ball back to Westbrook.

Westbrook knew that Michael Reed, who was now serious, would not be able to break through so easily, so he beckoned to Anjie for a high pick-and-roll.

Westbrook borrowed Anjie's quality cover to shake off Michael Reid and rushed towards the box with all his might. As Westbrook went deep into the box, Anjie also ran 45 degrees to the free-throw line, and the offensive coordination of the two men made the Bucks wonder who was the final finisher.

Westbrook's breakaway attracted blocks from Villanueva and Bogut, while Michael Reid had to look at Anjie, who had an accurate mid-range shot. Eh, is there one person missing?

Westbrook jumped up against Bogut, and he was never afraid of physical contact.

He made a layup, but he actually passed, and it was a beautiful breakaway. Angel received the ball so high that Michael Reid was unable to intercept it. Without a second of hesitation, An Jie touched the ball with one hand and passed the ball again.

With the wide range of these two passes, the camera finally caught up with the speed of the pass and captured the last person to receive the ball.

"Kevin Durant got an open three-point opportunity!" ESPN's commentator shouted, in the first half, Durant was mostly on offense against the defense, and such a beautiful combination could not be seen in the first half!

Receiving a pass from two new teammates, Durant took a deep breath. team, he has always forgotten that he still has teammates to rely on.

Before Jefferson made up the defense, Durant made his seventh shot, and the first six times he didn't score, hoping this time to break the embarrassment.

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

"Does Durant have it this time!?three-point shot! The sword is finally unsheathed!" The commentator of the online live broadcast platform finally raised his eyebrows, after all, which team the Chinese players are on will become the home team of the Chinese in the NBA. Seeing that the Thunder's ace finally broke the scoring drought, the commentator was also very happy.

"Hahaha, well done!" Durant had never felt that the offense would be so fluid and easy, and he looked at his two new partners with a smile on his face, and his heart was happy.

After successfully defending a three-point shot from Villanueva, Westbrook fought back again with the ball.

Again, as before, Westbrook handed the ball to Durant as soon as halftime. Unexpectedly, this time Durant directly gave up the plan to attack with the ball and immediately passed the ball back.

As a point guard, Westbrook has been criticized for his super offensive desire, so he has forced himself to adapt to the style of play of passing for others. But now the boss of the team actually pointed out that he wanted to hold the ball, isn't that exactly what Westbrook wants.

Westerbrook, who was full of confidence, dribbled quickly and broke through again with a few strokes against Michael Reed. Reed was sweating profusely, maybe this kid's ability to read the game and offensive stability were still very lacking, but in terms of breakthrough alone, this Westbrook really didn't cover!

Breakout, take-off, Bogut foul. Westbrook's super-striking impact earned him two free throws.

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

On the third offense, Westbrook fed the ball to Anjie, who faked a shot under the basket to trick Bogut and Veranieva into jumping. Taking advantage of this time difference, Wilcox and Durant also completed an off-ball pick-and-roll combination. An Jie started to pass the ball, Durant once again shot from a long distance in the open position, and the basketball was as accurate as a missile into the net.

In the fourth ball, Durant and Anjie mentioned the high post to make a double block and dismantling tactic for Westbrook, Westbrook did not waste the efforts of his two teammates, and forced the inside to play a 2+1.

When these three youngsters learned to work together, the Bucks' seemingly indestructible defense was officially broken by the Thunder!" Durant is excellent off the ball, Westbrook has a strong impact, and Anjie is the one who organizes the offense on the court. Westbrook's pass will pass through Anjie's hand, and Anjie will decide who will hit his teammate in the final stroke.

Divac's teaching is really deeply imprinted in An Jie's heart, in terms of high-level response ability, Divac is definitely a top existence in the current alliance, and An Jie has inherited this characteristic of his master very well.

Is the Thunder's offense now excellent, is that what Callesimo has arranged? No! That was Westbrook, Anjie, and Durant figured it out by themselves! And Westbrook, who has a slightly worse ability to read the game, has not yet seen the good intentions of his two teammates, and he just smoothed out the offense without knowing it.

If there is a good coach who can strengthen the playing style of these three young men, then the Thunder will definitely be able to continue to close the score! It's a pity that the head coach of the Thunder team is the self-righteous P.J. Calesimo.

Substitutions: Nick Collison comes on for Angel and Quincy Duby comes on for Westbrook. In P.J. Calecsimo's eyes, the two rookies have had enough opportunities, and now it's time for Durant to chase after the victory.

Durant, who regained his touch in the third quarter, did have a great increase in shooting percentage, but the Thunder's counterattack momentum disappeared "inexplicably". Although the three cores of the Bucks were ridiculed by the media as the "poor version of the Big Three", no matter how powerful these three people are, they are stronger than Durant, a rookie.

The third quarter of the game also ended in the Thunder's high start and low walk, 79-59, in the hot state of the poor triumvirate, the Thunder team was thrown away by the Bucks by a 20-point difference!

"A lot of Oklahoma City fans have already left the game early! The disappointing NBA debut, the Thunder did occasionally see a bright spot in the game, but it was short-lived. "The good chemistry between Anjie and Durant and Westbrook is also buried under this huge point difference, except for Durant and Anjie, who else can see that the style of play just now is intentional?

The center in the league has long since become synonymous with blue-collar workers and coolies. Even Bogut, who is now performing well in the Bucks, has to be reduced to the fourth choice of the team after Villanueva.

In the past, when An Jie read the newspaper, he would always see the news of conflicts between NBA players and head coaches, and at that time he was not very comprehensible, how could a head coach who has been helping players read games have conflicts with players?

In the fourth quarter, the Thunder, who gave up a little, let Anjie and Westbrook play for a long time, and the team's performance became very good.

The Thunder lost to the Bucks in the first three quarters, but the Thunder surpassed their opponents in the fourth quarter. But to outsiders, that's just the result of the Bucks slackening. Only the Bucks players themselves know that they don't dare to slack off on the court at all!

The trouble that the three rookies brought to them was far beyond their previous imagination, but after all, An Jie and they were not playing a mature system, but the method they came up with on the spot today. Relying on an immature ad hoc tactic to beat an NBA-caliber team is a dream.

98-88, the Thunder finally lost his NBA debut by ten points, and An Jie also ended his first NBA game in the real sense of the word in a gloomy mood. Counting the preseason, the Thunder have lost five in a row, and Anjie has not won a single game since he landed in the NBA.

13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, looking at individual results alone, An Jie's NBA debut was undoubtedly successful, but An Jie's influence by the Whirlwind team was too great, even if it was a new team, An Jie still put team victory first. His own data is good, but the team loses, and An Jie can't be happy.

Presti didn't see a problem, but it was only the first game, and Calesimo had only been in charge of the new team for a short time. The Thunder weren't a strong team, so Presti decided to wait and see Kalesimo for a while.

Anjie struggled to get his first NBA win, but Chinese fans were not worried about the problem at all. This NBA live broadcast satisfied their curiosity very well and allowed them to see the strength of this big Chinese man who appeared out of thin air. As long as their own players play well, as for the problems faced by the Thunder team, who cares?

On a hard night, the Milwaukees returned to their hometown with their first win of the season, but the Thunder's three sharp blades have yet to meet a single person who can shine on them.
