The Chesapeake Energy Arena is so big that fans here could not have imagined they would be able to watch the NBA Western Conference Finals on their home doorstep a few years ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the relocation of the Seattle SuperSonics and the rapid rise of the Thunder have made the dreams of Russian fans come true. At this moment, the Thunder not only stood on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, but also beat the Trail Blazers with a wave of strong offense at the beginning of the game, an 8-0 small climax.

After Durant chased down a three-point shot, the young Oklahoma lord seemed to have something to say to Angel. An Jie also responded with a smile, and then sent out a baseline ball.

"Did KD have a verbal altercation with Ann?" In the noisy arena, fans and commentators couldn't hear the players on the pitch. More often than not, they have listened to lip calls to judge the information exchanged between two players. But today, no matter how you look at it, Durant and Anjie's lips don't look like they're swearing. As a result, all kinds of explanations have also emerged.

It seems that Ann's old problem has not changed, even in the face of his former teammate KD, his mouth is not idle. ”

"Durant may have been haunted by Ann's departure, just now, could it be a demonstration against Ann?"

KD just said hi to his old friend, and that's it. If we care about that, we might as well care about the game itself. In the end, it was ESPN's veteran commentator Mike Brin who interpreted the correct answer, but which script fans love to believe, Mike Brin can't guarantee it.

While the commentators of various TV stations were still discussing the conversation between Anjie and Durant just now, the Trail Blazers had already attacked unhurriedly.

The team in the black jersey was as if possessed by the Spurs, they didn't pick up the pace, they didn't get on the ball quickly. Positional warfare, this group of guys came from the beginning with the determination to fight positional warfare.

To say that the Trail Blazers are like the Spurs may be a bit inaccurate. Because just a few days ago, they just beat the Spurs.

Felton shouted a few times, made a few gestures, and passed the basketball out, and the offensive tactics of the Trail Blazers were instantly unfolded.

Inside, that's the hardest part of the Thunder's defense on the end. But for the Trail Blazers, the interior is also their safest scoring option. Pitting the sharpest spear against the strongest shield is sure to be a lose-lose-lose situation. In order to maximize efficiency, Rickard's approach is to use the perimeter to attract Morris or Ibaka's defence, and then pass the ball to Angel and Aldridge to give more chances.

As the vanguard of this attack, Gerard Wallace does not have to take on the task of scoring, but his responsibility is also not small.

Whether the implementation of this tactic is successful or not depends on the strong burst of "Elvis"!

Durant's defense, while not as good as the other four on the Trail Blazers, is certainly not bad. He has been stuck in Gerard Wallace's breakthrough lane, leaving Gerard Wallace in a very uncomfortable state at all times.

But once again, just when the Thunder once again thought their defense was about to succeed, a pick-and-roll upset the balance.

"KD! be careful!" Sefrosa's yell reached Durant's ears at a speed of sound of 340 meters per second, and Durant reacted quickly and immediately turned his head. However, just as his colleague turned his head, Durant had already hit An Jie solidly!

"Another block that suddenly came out! This time the timing of the block and demolition was still perfect. Both the suddenness was preserved and did not constitute a foul. This guy's ability to read the game is almost as good as a point guard!" Whoever can win a full house with just one pick-and-roll, this league may only be able to do it.

Durant was blocked by Anjie, who suddenly came out, which naturally allowed Gerard Wallace to easily break into the interior.

Morris had to drop Angel and stand under the basket with open arms. Just looking at the formation of the big brute bull, it is enough to deterrent.

"It's time to get the defense, now!" said Gerard Wallace, holding his basketball aloft as if ready for a layup. Even when Durant's attention was attracted, Wallace suddenly turned his head, took advantage of the situation, and passed the ball back to Anjie, who had just blocked for him and was still in the middle distance.

"I expected!" Durant kept an eye on it, he didn't believe that An Jie would stand stupidly in place after blocking and dismantling. Every action of this guy has a purpose! Even if An Jie just stands in place stupidly, it has a purpose!

Durant guessed correctly, this ball Anjie was in order to receive Gerald Wallace's ball, so he stood in the mid-range position and did not move. Durant turned around following the trajectory of the basketball, didn't think about it, and jumped directly to block.

He's a very good big man shooter like his compatriot Yao, and they know how to use it to their advantage. However, Durant's height and arm span are also not bad, and Durant is only a little close to completing the block!" "Although the block was not completed, Durant's peak defense must have interfered with Anjie's shooting rhythm.

Will the Trail Blazers be able to score their first goal of the game?

Just when all Oklahoma fans were looking forward to it, Anjie still reassured them.

The basketball spun three times inside the basket and crashed into the net!

After Anjie scored, the reaction on the scene was very interesting. If it had been at the ATT Centre or Staples Anjie, Anjie would have been greeted with a wild boo. However, in Oklahoma, in Anjie's former home turf. Half of the fans were still booing An Jie, but the other half of the fans applauded An Jie.

An Jie pointed to the audience to show his gratitude during the retreat, and it was very rare to receive applause in the away game in the playoffs. An Jie knew this, and he also thanked those people from the bottom of his heart.

With a mid-range shot, the Trail Blazers finally broke the scoring drought and put the Thunder's offensive climax to an end temporarily.

After that, the Trail Blazers have clearly adapted to the rhythm of the battle against the Thunder. Westbrook's sudden acceleration could no longer allow him to complete the assault. Felton was already prepared now, and the rest of the people behind Felton were also wary of Westbrook's unreasonable breakthrough. Finally, this time, the Trail Blazers pulled the Thunder into a positional battle.

But positional warfare, which is also Jeff Van Gundy's forte. The Thunder are now such a balanced and all-round team, fast or slow, inside or outside.

Westbrook gave the ball directly to Durant, which was exactly the same as when Anjie was still with the Thunder. After all, Westbrook is not a real playmaker, and usually, the Thunder rely on unity to tear apart the opposing defense in positional battles. Westbrook's organization simply couldn't allow him to complete the "one-pass kill" offense.

The basketball went through the hands of several people, but the Thunder still didn't get a chance. Compared with the rapid transition between offense and defense, positional defense is what the Trail Blazers are best at.

Rickard kept yelling on the sidelines, alerting the players who were out of position. His roar can be heard by fans even in the hustle and bustle of the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Time passed minute by minute, but the Thunder still didn't find a chance. Helplessly, in the end, the ball could only go back to Westbrook, and a strong attack was the only way for the Thunder team now.

Westbrook burst into the three-point line with Ibaka's pick-and-roll, and when he reached the free-throw line, he suddenly jumped and shot.

Westbrook had a good jump and Filton wanted to interfere, but it was a little bit behind. Seeing this situation, An Jie suddenly turned his back to the basket and tried to get stuck in the position first, he believed that there was a high chance that the ball would not hit!

Westbrook's shooting is still the same as it was back then, his whole body is tense after the jump, and he looks very powerful, but his movements are relatively stiff.

A stiff shot will definitely not be able to exchange for an excellent hit rate. What's more, Westbrook is not a fixed-point shot, but a more difficult pull-up jump shot.

"Dang!" the basket rang out like gunshots on the starting line. After An Jie heard this voice, he immediately jumped with strength. In the crowd, An Jie's arms stood high and became the focus of the entire three-second zone. Morris made up for some of the disadvantages in position and jump timing with his bounce speed and bounce height, but this basketball was still caught by Anjie first!

An Jie's big hand can control the basketball in his hand in the air. Morris tried to get the basketball away, but it didn't work.

After landing, Gerard Wallace rushed straight to the Thunder halfcourt without thinking about it, and Anjie raised the ball and moved, scaring the Thunder players to quickly return to defense.

However, An Jie is just a fake pass, and he doesn't plan to use a long pass to play a fast attack at all. Gerard Wallace is not Westbrook, and Anjie's passes, he may not be able to receive them safely.

The reason why An Jie did this was just to hope that the Thunder team's defense would be faster. That way, he was able to safely get the ball to Felton, who was able to easily control the ball.

This attack, however, relied on Gerard Wallace to score. This guy's aggressive running finally gave him a chance, and maybe in the previous series, Wallace was Ricard's last offensive option, so it also led to KD's defense of this guy not being too desperate.

So when Gerard Wallace found out that he had been given the opportunity so easily, he was surprised. However, this guy has always been the core of the team before, and the unexpected emotion only lasted for a few tenths of a second before disappearing without a trace, he immediately threw a shot, and Durant rushed to the jump block, but it was still the same as when he was just about to block Anjie, a little bit away from the ball.

The basketball is hollow into the net again, and the Trail Blazers have used the shot to hit the Thunder's basket twice in a row.

In the following games, the situation was gradually turned back by the Trail Blazers. But the momentum of the Thunder is not bad.

Fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena were able to watch a great matchup, with both sides attacking and defending each other, and the game was very lively. This is the level of the real Western Conference Finals.

The turning point came midway through the first quarter, when Van Gundy fielded a strong second team of Fischer, Bledsoe, Batum, Daquin Cook and Nick Collison that Ricard was stretched thin.

Fischer's sophistication allowed him to keep everything in order, and Bledsoe and Batum's scoring prowess made Crawford and Conteney Lee feel inferior. The score was finally slowly pulled away, and the Thunder team also took a certain lead after a difficult confrontation. Collison and Cook always do the dirty work beautifully.

An Jie gritted his teeth at the bottom, but he held back. This group of guys who are still arrogant now, An Jie will make them very powerful sooner or later!

22-29, with the strength of the Thunder's second lineup, the Thunder took a seven-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

It's only a quarter of a quarter of a year into the game, and it's already unparalleled.

The assistant coach carried the small bench and set it up, and Riccard sat on the small bench, surrounded by players.

With the continuous efforts of these guys, this game will only get better and better!
