Chapter 293: Warm-up for the opening game

Unknowingly, An Jie has come out of his rookie period. This is www.biquge.info his third NBA season and the one with his biggest ambitions.

In his first year, Anjie just wanted to be able to establish himself in the NBA. The following year, Anjie and the Thunder just wanted to make the playoffs. But this year, their goals have escalated again. Now, the Thunder three young players can be called well-deserved stars, and with the assistance of Morris and Ibaka, the Thunder team has changed from a dark horse to a strong team. Therefore, the Thunder have only one goal this season, a championship!

Last season's tie-break with the mighty Purple and Gold Army is enough to show the strength of the Thunder. This year, Anjie has improved a lot in the summer, Westbrook has become more mature, and Durant, who led the United States to a world championship, has also better leadership skills.

Although the hottest hype this season is still 23vs24, Peter Pan against the Heat Big Three. But there are also a small number of people who think that the Thunder three will be more interesting against the Heat Big Three. In short, the Thunder are now also subtly expected by fans to become a championship candidate.

The stronger the Thunder, the more pressure will be on Van Gundy and his players. They will only have to do better than before to meet the expectations of the fans.

As a result, the training of the entire pre-competition training camp was much more intense than before. In addition to basic body and condition recovery training, the frequency of tactical training is unexpectedly high. As a strong team, a complete and stable tactical system is essential. Now the Thunder's tactics must be more rigorous and closer than before.

Of course, since it is a pre-game training camp, the group confrontation is naturally an indispensable "reserved program".

Last season, Anjie had few opponents when training in the team. But this year, Morris and Ibaka have given him a lot more resistance. The Thunder's interior defense was very good last season, but this year, it has gone to the next level.

Westbrook also found that there was a defender on the team who was on par with his body. Bledsoe is as strong as LeBron who is one size younger. James-like. Even Westbrook struggled to withstand his onslaught.

The Thunder's strength has been upgraded again, giving everyone confidence in their new season. Including An Jie himself, he has never felt that they are so powerful.

So with a lot of confidence and the anticipation of fans around the world, the Thunder kicked off their first preseason game on October 5.

Although it was only a preseason game, almost 80% of the stands at the Chesapeake Energy Arena were filled. According to Van Gundy's habits, the main players of the Thunder team should not have much playing time in the preseason, but even so, most fans still bought tickets to go to the scene.

Sure enough, in the face of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had nothing after James left, Van Gundy directly let the original bench players play the start. Anjie, Morris, Durant, Sephorosa and Westbrook all sat on the bench with a smile and a smile, so let's start with the bench to test the lineup.

The Cavaliers really don't have anything left, and their players could be good pieces of the puzzle if they put them on other teams. But when this group of puzzle pieces without a backbone are put together, they can't put together anything.

The Thunder forced the Cavaliers hard just by relying on the bench players. Bledsoe shone in his NBA debut, and people were lamenting that the Thunder's bench finally had an offensive point.

Ramon of the Cavaliers. Sessions was definitely a starting point guard who reached the passing line, but he struggled against the onslaught of rookie Bledsoe.

In addition to this, Eric. Meno and Serge Ibaka have also caused a lot of trouble for the Cavaliers. Ibaka, in particular, gave the impression that he could only defend last season, but in this game, he was also very good in attack.

The first quarter ended with the Cavaliers leading by two points. But in the face of the second lineup of the Thunder team, they all played so badly, and the backward Thunder became the dominant side.

Sure enough, in the second quarter, Van Gundy increased Anjie's playing time, and the Cavaliers quickly collapsed under the impact of the three lessers.

An Jie also showed everyone for the first time today that he is stronger and faster. Antoine. Naturally, Jamison was not a problem, and even J.J. Hickson, who was known for his strength, was beaten by Anjie so much that he couldn't find the north. While people were amazed by An Jie's physical changes, they found that this guy's skills had not regressed at all.

The inside line of the Cavaliers is like a large supermarket, ready to open its doors to welcome Anjie's arrival. Whether it is Jamison or Hickson, or "Brazilian actor" Vallejo, they can't stop Anjie from scoring inside.

39-50, after the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers have clearly seen the difference in strength between the two sides. Losing James would have hurt too much for the Cavaliers, and even for the city of Cleveland.

In the second half, Van Gundy was relieved to test the lineup, and the wins and losses of the game had already been thrown aside by him. Because of the strength of the Thunder team, he has been very satisfied. But even if the Thunder didn't take winning or losing seriously at all, the demoralized Cavaliers still couldn't catch up with the score.

As a rookie, the excited Bledsoe is getting crazier and crazier, and the chances of the Cavaliers being able to turn the tables are getting smaller and smaller. Struggling until the last second of the game, the Cavaliers couldn't complete the task of overtaking.

110-93, just one preseason game, the Cavaliers were beaten to the ground. Oklahoma fans cheered, their team has never been stronger! And the fans in Cleveland are wailing because there is no hope for the Cavaliers this season.

This preseason game not only allowed the Thunder's starters to show the tip of the iceberg of their strong strength, but also made Bledsoe and Ibaka the biggest surprises. Now the Thunder's starting and bench strength are very strong, maybe the championship is not an empty dream.

In the days that followed, the Thunder's march continued unstoppable.

A 103-97 victory over the 76ers, a 105-100 victory over the Grizzlies, a 98-92 victory over the Timberwolves, and a 101-93 victory over the Warriors. When the Thunder played all five preseason games, they had an unprecedented winning record!

Although fans know that the preseason win or defeat is not much value, they are very happy with what the Thunder showed in the game.

Now, with only a week to go until the start of the new season on Oct. 26, fans can't wait to see the Thunder slaughter in official games. Now even if the Heat Dream Triumvirate is standing in front of the Thunder, they will not have stage fright.

Presti looked at the Thunder's roster this season with satisfaction, looking at the winning division he had single-handedly built. Every player here, every rookie, is personally selected by him. Even Van Gundy was appointed by him himself. It can be said that he single-handedly created the myth of the take-off of the Thunder team. What the Thunder can achieve in the new season, even Presti himself dare not imagine.

Everything seems so good, and Anjie's career seems to have begun to climb wildly. The championship seems to be within reach.

On October 26, the 2010-2011 NBA regular season competition officially began. Today, though, the Thunder didn't play. But even so, An Jie still stood by the TV on time. In addition to watching the battle between the new and old Big Three between the Heat and the Celtics, An Jie also has an important reason to watch the game, that is, Yao Ming!

Although An Jie shone last season, he performed well at the World Championships, allowing him to almost replace the vacancy that Yao Ming had disappeared. But Chinese fans have not forgotten that there is only one Yao Ming in this world, and no one can replace him.

Therefore, today's Rockets vs. Lakers, Yao Ming's season reimbursement and return battle have attracted much attention.

The last time Yao Ming played was a previous season. At that time, An Jie was just a first-year rookie, but now, An Jie has become a real all-star. During Yao Ming's absence, too much has changed in the NBA. But when he returns, the Rockets still have a place for him.

Every goal and rebound of Yao Ming can cause An Jie to shout. He knew that Yao Ming had to train in a wheelchair a few months ago, and with such a spirit, Yao Ming felt worthy of An Jie's respect.

However, leaving the arena for too long has a huge impact on Yao Ming. Adelman and the rest of the Rockets have given Yao a lot of credit, allowing him to take a lot of shots in his limited playing time. But Yao Ming changed his usual steady style today, and frequently struck iron.

Whether it's a hook or a strong hit under the basket, Yao Ming can't put the basketball in the hoop. scored 9 points on 4-of-11 shooting, with a shooting rate of only 36.4%, which is the result brought by Yao Ming's comeback battle. In the end, the Rockets also lost to the defending champion Lakers by only two points.

Although Yao Ming's performance in the first game was not satisfactory, the fans were satisfied to see Yao Ming play again. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, give Yao Ming a period of time to adapt to the game, and he will definitely be able to find his form and lead the rocket to take off again!

With that belief in mind, Rockets fans embraced the loss of the opener. And An Jie also sincerely wishes Yao Ming to get better and better.

In addition to Yao Ming, the most high-profile game today is the duel between the old and new giants. Although James scored 31 points in his debut with the Heat, the Heat still lost 80-88. The run-in of the Heat's Big Three seemed to be problematic, with Wade and Bosh unable to find a rhythm throughout the game. People are wondering if Spoelstra's Filipino can handle this lineup.

The dream triumvirate, which gave people infinite reverie and anticipation, was beaten in the first game, which was indeed greatly unexpected by people.

All in all, the games on the first day of the NBA program game were really eye-catching. Although the results were not perfect, the intense competition reminded fans that the new NBA season has arrived!

An Jie turned off the TV, and just watching the live broadcast, he was already enthusiastic.

Tomorrow's game, the Thunder will host the Bulls, led by Rose. Tomorrow, it's time for An Jie to play hard in person.

In the end, what is the strength of the Thunder team in the new season, and whether An Jie's efforts in the summer have been in vain. Tomorrow, AnJie will set sail again.

The Thunder's campaign for the new season is about to take its first step.
