O.J. Mayo thought he was dazzled after seeing the expressions of the Thunder players, and the Thunder players who were still listless during the warm-up were all bright and murderous at the moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmph, is the momentum of the forced pretense useful?" O.J. Mayo was not frightened by the momentum of the Thunder team in the slightest, and no matter how imposing it is, the fact that the lineup is incomplete cannot be changed. The Grizzlies have a fairly complete roster, with as many as 11 players available to play. He didn't think that the thunder of the lack of soldiers and major generals could still win on his head.

FedEx Arena, where the Grizzlies haven't had a good season.

Mike Conley, who was drafted with the fourth pick last year, has begun to emerge, this year's NCAA champion member Darrell Arthur has joined strongly, and the "European Moving Castle" Gasol Jr. has been born, plus Rudy Gay, an all-around small forward who has proven himself.

Looking at the names, Grizzlies fans were full of hope for this season. Unexpectedly, the harsh reality still shattered the fans' dreams, 15-42, and the second-to-last place in the West, which is what these guys brought to the Grizzlies.

Because of the scarcity of results, every time there is a chance to win, this group of guys on the Grizzlies will fight like crazy.

After losing to the Thunder several times in a row, O.J. Mayo was not convinced. He doesn't think that a former top candidate will be worse than Westbrook and Anjie. Now it's good, without the core Durant, O.J. Mayo is ready to show his strength in this game and get revenge on the Thunder!

Before the game, An Jie and Gasol Jr. greeted each other in a friendly manner, but as soon as they stood in the middle circle, An Jie's eyes immediately became different when he looked at Gasol Jr.

This is a professional player, and you can be friends off the pitch. But once on the field, even if it is a brother, you must treat the other party as an enemy!

The referee threw the ball high, An Jie's eyes were focused, and his legs reflexively exerted force. Height, reach, and bounce lead in all directions, which makes Anjie rarely lose in the scrum.

"It's time for the game!" Despite the absence of Durant, the Thunder's performance still makes me look forward to it! Can Westbrook and Angel take on the big responsibility? Let's wait and see!" Mike Brin would never have been sent by the ESPN to explain the games of two teams outside the playoff scope before, but now, the charm of the Thunder team made Mike Brin can't help but take the initiative to apply to be the commentator. He just wants to know how far the Thunder, which is full of potential, can go.

Due to Durant's injury, Van Gundy's starting lineup changed again.

Westbrook is still the point guard, and Kyle Weaver continues to be the same good shooting guard. This line of guards, which consisted of two rookies, allowed Grizzlies head coach Lionel to ... Hollins was jealous.

At small forward, Van Gundy fielded the Swiss man who delivered the winner against the Mavericks, Saab Sefrosa. Although Sefrosa's first position is in the second position, his tough style of play and height of 2.01m allow him to play well in the third position.

On the power forward side, Van Gundy put Kostic in the starting position, and when Anjie was caught in the bag, Kostic's shooting can undoubtedly help the team out of the predicament, and Anjie's defense can also make up for Kostic's lack of ability to protect the interior.

Van Gundy's lineup is not comparable to the Grizzlies on paper, but basketball is not a simple table game. The players are human beings, not rigid sets of stats.

As soon as the game began, Westbrook was quite active. He frequently held the ball and played singles, completely liberated.

In the past, Durant was there, and he had to retreat to become the team's second point of attack. But when Durant was injured, he had more opportunities to attack with the ball.

It's not that he doesn't want to share the ball with An Jie, the main thing is that although An Jie scores a lot of points in every game, he doesn't make many shots. So as soon as the game began, Westbrook decided to attack first.

On the fourth occasion, Westbrook possessed the ball and got in front of Mike Conley. But this time Conley didn't put it up, and he suddenly switched places with O.J. Mayo, putting these two competing guys against each other!

Mayo can become a flower show, and it is impossible to do this without a little strength. His aggressive defence took Westbrook out of his attacking rhythm, and as Anjie began to lean on Marc Gasol for position, Westbrook knew it was time to hand over the ball.

Westbrook's crotch retreated, and Mayo thought he was going to make room to sprint and break through, but Westbrook jumped directly and passed the ball over O.J. Mayo's head and sent it to Anjie.

"Anjie held the ball in the low post for the first time today!Durant is not here, is he going to continue to organize or attack on his own!?"

When Durant is there, passing the ball is Anjie's responsibility. When Durant is gone, Anjie's responsibility has changed from passing to scoring!

If An Jie still passes the ball at this time, it is not selflessness, but evading responsibility.

As soon as he started, he was going to go toe-to-toe with Marc Gasol in the low post!

With a weight of 120 kilograms and a height of 2.16 meters, Marc Gasol is definitely the epitome of a heavy centre-forward in Europe. Since he is a heavy center, it is naturally impossible to be easily shaken by An Jie.

"Anjie's choice to fight with Mark on his back was definitely the wrong decision, whether it was weight or strength, Anjie did not have an advantage. Some commentators immediately questioned Anjie's approach. Mike Brin was the only one who did not comment on Anjie, knowing that the Chinese must have other methods.

It is not the first time that Anjie has played against Gasol Jr., although Anjie is indeed not dominant in weight and strength, but in terms of flexibility and mobility, Anjie is better than Gasol Jr.

"Ann turned around directly! Marc Gasol's feet moved too slowly! Ann Jie easily rushed past him!"

An Jie's swift transfer of little Gasol was caught off guard, and he hurriedly used his body to block An Jie's breakthrough route, but he couldn't keep up with An Jie's rhythm because of the slow movement under his feet.

Anjie turned around and broke through and was ready to dunk with both hands, but Marc Gasol naturally wouldn't give up easily. At 2.16m, he stretched out his arms and tried to stop An Jie from behind to complete the dunk.

However, Anjie has a longer arm span than his older brother Pau Gasol, and when training with his brother, Mark may be able to complete the block in this situation, but against the taller Anjie, his block does not shoot away the basketball, but hits the back of Anjie's hand.

"Bang!" Although the ball was fouled, An Jie continued to add force to his arm, and under the interference of Gasol Jr., he dunked the ball in vigorously!

"Ahh In the FedEx Arena, An Jie is more like an angry grizzly bear! He is the same as the Grizzlies team logo at the moment, grinning and murderous!

An Jie's yelling was not aimed at anyone, it was purely a catharsis for his emotions.

"Anjie's departure from Durant and Westbrook is useless. Although there was no response, fans were all interested in all kinds of doubts on the Internet.

"Anjie! too strong!" Mike Brin couldn't believe that the man who made this move could be an Asian player.

Although Yao Ming can also score wonderful goals frequently, his reaction after scoring is usually very "docile". But An Jie is different, this guy has a lot of small actions on the court, and the trash talk is also not lost to the opponent, and when it is time to roar, An Jie will definitely not relent.

What Mike Brin saw in Anjie was a strong and fierce temperament!

Tiffany Giardina also waved her little fist in response to An Jie's angry roar, and An Jie's tough performance just now made a little wave in Giardina's heart. The big man who roared at the audience had completely captured Giardina's attention.

Why is this sport so attractive, and why do you pay special attention to this Chinese who is not handsome, but looks very fierce?

The mind of a 16-year-old girl, even if she has become a star, will not change.

added free throws to hit steadily, and after An Jie scored 2+1 this time, the Thunder's lead has become 7 points.

Anjie showed super aggressiveness in the first attack, and in the following time, Westbrook also gave Anjie enough face, frequently conceded the ball, and gave Anjie the opportunity to play alone with Gasol Jr. in the low post.

"Another foul! Mark Gasol has to pay attention to his foul count! Even if you can't stop Anjie without fouling, it's not wise to send Anjie to the free throw line. Anjie's 86.4% free-throw shooting rate is only behind his compatriot Yao Ming, ranking 14th in the NBA!

Sure enough, after luring Gasol Jr. into committing another foul, Anjie's free throws were as steady as ever.

"Spread your legs a little more!You don't have to raise your hands very high!Everyone's shooting habits are different, you don't have to follow mine!Great! Come again!" Divac taught Anjie a long lesson in shooting when he was in the Whirlwinds, and their efforts were not in vain. Now is the time to reap the benefits.

Both free throws were hit, and the score difference was further widened!

The Thunder's lacked roster made the Grizzlies think that Anjie and Westbrook were all threats to the Thunder.

It's a pity that although An Jie has increased the number of shots, this does not mean that he will only score one point. Under An Jie's exquisite ball distribution, the crippled Thunder actually played a multi-point flowering performance!

"Kyle Weaver received a pass from Angel, hit a three-point shot! It was the direct connection between the two first-year rookies of the Thunder, and Weaver had already scored five points on two shots! Coach Hollins had to adjust their defensive strategy, he put too much energy into Angel and Westbrook!"

Togetherness, it's not just about morale before a game. On the court, this will still benefit the Thunder.

Although Anjie and Westbrook played well, they were still willing to share the ball with their teammates.

After the Grizzlies shifted their defensive focus toward Angel and Westbrook, Weaver and Seforosa were undoubtedly the biggest beneficiaries.

"Sephorosa has two points from a distance! After the last game, Sephorosa is already a pure Thunder player, and the run-in between him and the new system is perfect!"

At this point in the game, everyone has forgotten that the Thunder are a team that has just lost its core.

Anjie's leadership made everyone ignore this fact, in other words, Anjie did a good job of fulfilling the core responsibilities that belonged to Durant on the court!

29-17, at the home court of the Grizzlies, the Thunder dominated the game and played well at United Express Stadium.

Rudy Gay scored one point in the first quarter, O.J. Mayo scored two points, and Mark Gasol scored two points, and looking at the data of these three people, you can probably guess how embarrassed the Grizzlies played in the first quarter.

"9 points and 5 rebounds! Anjie, as a center, has firmly grasped the situation on the court in his own hands! Coach Jeff Van Gundy chose the second core after losing Durant, the center is supreme!"

Dominance, when Anjie's role became the core of the team again, his dominance was unreservedly displayed. (To be continued.) )
