"Toot toot, Thunder No. 16 shooting foul!" The referee pointed to An Jie again, and it was only the first quarter of the game, which was the second time An Jie fouled Kobe. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I promise I only touched the ball!" Anjie complained to the referee with an innocent face, and Kobe Bryant stood at the free throw line like a nobody.

"Kobe Bryant played very smart today, and this is the second time he's done a kill on the Thunder's vaunted interior. Kobe Bryant is not an ordinary outside player, even if he can't score directly, he has other ways, and Anjie is still too immature at this point. "Anjie defended very aggressively and there were no holes. It's a pity that he faced last season's FMVP.

Sure enough, after Bryant hit the first free throw, Anjie was replaced by Jeff Van Gundy. Caught in foul trouble early, this is a dilemma that Anjie has never encountered before.

"It's okay, I'll hold you up. Morris and Anjie high-fived, tucked their jerseys into their pants, and quickly ran up.

After Morris came on the court, the Thunder's interior height advantage disappeared in an instant. Although Pau Gasol, the "Spanish Mobile Fortress", will be unable to play due to injury, Andrew Bynum, the "Little Shark", will also cause a lot of trouble for the Thunder's interior line.

"You pay attention to the fouls, and if you can't defend the ball, don't put up a defense. Have a good rest in the first quarter, and I'll send you up in the second quarter. "It's good that Morris and Ibaka have been added to the Thunder this season, otherwise Van Gundy would have been sad by now.

Without Anjie, the Thunder's interior offense has completely stalled. Durant and Westbrook don't get a plan and no space. After all, Morris's mid-range shooting is really not a threat, and it is difficult for him to pull Bynum out of the three-second zone like Anjie.

Van Gundy then had to switch Morris and Kostic to play center, using his mid-range threat to trick Bynum out of the way out of the game to make Westbrook and Durant more efficient.

It's just a pity that the Serbs did not play their part well today.

Westbrook used his speed and explosiveness to get past Fischer "The Old Fish", and Kostic immediately pulled up to the middle distance.

According to the tactical assumption, Bynum will definitely follow at this time, and Morris will entangle Odom. As long as Westbrook's breakthrough is not interrupted, there is a good chance that this breakthrough will be scored.

But when Westbrook was already in the three-second zone, Bynum still didn't move, waiting for Westbrook to shoot himself under the basket.

"Don't you want to go out with you!?" Westbrook knew he couldn't force a layup against Bynum, and could only make a split to give Kostic a chance in the open space.

The reason why Bynum didn't choose to go out was because Kostic's first three shots were all off target, which undoubtedly gave "Little Shark" the confidence to defend the basket.

This time, Kostic was still undisturbed. It's just a pity that he doesn't take all the high and low positions like An Jie. Kostic took his fourth shot, and the basketball spun around the frame, but still failed to fall into the net.

"Oops! The Serb was so bad today! Maybe that's why Coach Van Gundy needs Sergi Ibaka. "It's true that Kostic is not only too soft on the ball, but also very inconsistent in his shooting percentage. Van Gundy and Presti decided to bring Ibaka in order to gradually replace Kostic's tactical position.

The interior attack failed again, and then Morris and Kostic failed to defend on the inside.

Although Morris has a good interior defense, he is more than a little worse than Anjie on the outside. Anjie has always been very good at facing big men who like to attack on the outside, you must know that he didn't score a single point in a single quarter last season.

Odom used his greater flexibility to engage Morris on the outside, and by using Bynum's pick-and-roll cooperation, Odom gained some space to break through.

Morris quickly got rid of the pick-and-roll and was trying to make up for it inside. Unexpectedly, Odom suddenly made a pull-up jump shot that caught Morris off guard. Odom's shooting ability in this sport is very prominent, you must know that this guy is the most versatile forward in the league before LeBron James.

Basketball goes to the net, and the defending champion adds two more points!

Morris couldn't stop Odom, and Kostic, who had a soft style of play, couldn't resist Bynum's destruction.

Bynum is physically strong, his favorite thing in attack is physical contact, and the nickname "Little Shark" is not groundless.

Kostic was an all-round loser in weight and strength, and although he was the same height as Bynum, it didn't help.

In the case of Kobe Bryant's smooth play, the Lakers' interior offense is still completely opened, and you don't have to think about it to know that the point difference will be widened.

In the final minutes of the first quarter, neither side was able to play at a high level. Fortunately, Ibaka, who was on the Thunder's bench, and Kevin Ollie, a new small guard who joined the summer, scored a goal each to narrow the gap slightly.

32-25, if it weren't for the Lakers' second team's offense, the difference would not have been so much. Because Odom and Bynum combined, the two interior lines scored 14 points for the Lakers.

Morris had been outstanding in the first few games, but the first quarter of the game really made him realize the difficulties of the NBA. It turns out that he is not so strong.

The interior of the Thunder on both offensive and defensive ends was blown up, and Morris was inseparable from such a situation.

"Sephorosa! I want you to go all out on defense! Don't give Kobe Bryant too many opportunities to break inside and create damage! Sergi! In the second quarter, you continue to play power forward, if necessary, help Anjie carry one or two fouls, and on the offensive end, you try to pull out and give full play to your shooting advantage!" Jeff Van Gundy hurriedly adjusted his tactics and lineup, and unlike the previous three easy victories, the Lakers gave the Thunder a head start in the first quarter!

"In the second quarter, your breakthrough will not be so easy, you try to shoot as much as possible on the perimeter, and if the shooting percentage is good, you will continue to play, and if the shooting percentage is not good, I will replace you to rest and rest. Phil Jackson knew that Kobe Bryant would definitely get special attention in the second quarter, and if Kobe was not efficient in the second quarter, it would be understandable to take him down for the time being.

The short break passed quickly, and both coaches made the best adjustments they could make so far. The Chesapeake Energy Arena was huge, and the fans were not discouraged at all by the fact that the team was behind.

....................

A slender black man hurried into the courtyard of his house, the courtyard of his mansion to be exact.

He stepped on the clean wooden floor of the house in his leather shoes, and then took off his coat and threw it on the couch, and the black man couldn't wait to turn on the TV.

"Oh my God, I just mopped the floor clean. Just then, a young girl walked into the living room and complained as she looked at the wooden floors that were sticking to the dirt.

"Alright Elsa, I'll clean up after myself. Olajuwon ignored his youngest daughter's complaints and stared at the TV screen, very engrossed.

"It doesn't seem too late, hehe. Da Meng smiled, the battle between the Thunder and the Lakers on TV, the battle between his two most important disciples, had just begun the second quarter of the competition.

....................

"Defend, defend!" Under the mobilization of the DJ on the spot, the fans shouted hoarsely for the Thunder. In the second quarter, the Lakers attacked first, but this time An Jie stood under the basket, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of the Lakers' offense.

"Be careful not to foul!" Van Gundy reminded nervously on the sidelines, and while speaking, Fischer passed the ball out, and the Lakers' offensive officially began!

The person who received the ball was still Kobe, but as soon as he received the ball, Seflorosa posted it without reservation.

Kobe Bryant was naturally not to be outdone, gritted his teeth, and forced the three-second zone with his shoulder against Sephorosa's chest.

At the same time, Bynum, who was originally brought up to block and dismantle, also followed, and although Anjie reacted quickly, he still fell behind Bynum.

Seeing the timing, Kobe Bryant made a precise pass, and the basketball shifted again and came to Bynum, who cut down.

Anjie seems to have underestimated Bynum's athleticism and physical condition a little, and when he jumped to get ready to block, he found that Bynum was taller than him after jumping. An Jie didn't dare to foul, so he could only stop in the air to avoid getting into trouble.

"Bang!" Bynum dunked hard in the face of the unguarded basket, and this time the ball really went in, and Anjie failed to put on a wonderful show of chasing and risking.

"Bynum was very strong in the second quarter, can't even Ann stop him!?" Although Bynum had an impressive playoff performance last season, due to his frequent injuries during the regular season, Anjie has never played against him.

The unfamiliarity with the opponent also led to An Jie's misestimation of Bynum's ability, coupled with the fear of fouling on his back, An Jie let the "little shark" dunk on his head.

"Damn, mine mine, there's no next time!" An Jie raised his right hand, signaling that this was his own negligence. He stared at the No. 17 center with a tiger's back, there was no next time, but it was not just talking!

The Lakers' first offense in the second quarter was played inside, and it didn't look like Anjie's play could change the Thunder's crumbling interior defense. The Thunder fans were unwilling, and An Jie himself was even more unconvinced.

The Thunder launched a counterattack, and according to the tactical arrangement, the end point of these attacks at the beginning was Durant. Although he performed well in the first quarter, Durant's offensive pressure was actually very high. During last season's All-Star Game, he said that the toughest defender to play against was Artest, and now the tough Artest is in front of Durant.

Moving to the Lakers in the summer, Artest also received a lot of criticism. The Lakers' roster hasn't changed much this season, with the biggest change being his swap with Ariza.

"If the Lakers can't win another championship this season, that's definitely my reason, because the only change for the Lakers is that I replace Ariza. This is Artest's words in an interview before the start of the season, the Lakers could win the championship when Ariza was there, and now replace Ariza with you Artest Lakers team If the Lakers fail, then who else can the finger be pointed at? Therefore, Artest played very hard after coming to the Lakers. In the first quarter, Durant scored 12 points in a row, which already annoyed him.

Durant tried to break through, only to find that Artest didn't give him a chance at all. Coupled with that uncomfortable little move, Durant's offensive rhythm was completely lost. Artest's defensive intensity has increased by more than one level from the first quarter!

Serge Ibaka went up to block for Durant, which gave him some space.

"Kevin!" As soon as he got rid of Artey, Durant heard Anjie's shout. At this moment, Anjie has already relied on Bynum's hard work to get to the position, just waiting for the ball to come into his hands.

Almost instantly, Artest got rid of Ibaka and crossed in front of Durant again. Seeing that he had no chance, Durant no longer considered it, and a high lob ball shifted the battlefield to the interior.

"Ann received a pass from Durant!Can he pull one back!" Mike Brin clenched his fists in excitement, and Ander barely had a chance to play due to two premature fouls in the first quarter, and this was his first one-on-one with Bynum in the low post today!

Bynum tried his best to push An Jie out, and had to admit that Bynum's strength was indeed above An Jie, and An Jie saw that he was about to lose his position, so he turned around with the ball and prepared to attack in the face frame!

"Attention, Ann's face frame is no worse than the back basket!"

An Jie holds the ball and habitually makes a triple threat pace. Bynum lowered his center of gravity, not daring to be distracted.

An Jie began to shoot the ball and took a step back.

"Is this to make room for a breakthrough!?What the hell is he going to do!?" Bynum himself doesn't have the ability to break through with the ball, to be exact, there are not many centers in the league who have this ability. It's a pity that An Jie has been learning from Olajuwon for a month, and if he doesn't even have this skill, Da Meng won't take a fancy to him.

Retreating to the middle distance, An Jie lowered his center of gravity, began to change his footsteps, dribbled alternately with his left and right hands, and suddenly started and killed in front of Bynum!

Bynum quickly reached out and prepared to pull out Angel's ball. However, An Jie suddenly turned around and leaned against Bynum with his back.

Bynum hurriedly stopped to avoid fouling, and quickly adjusted his pace, but An Jie's turn was only half done, and then it came to an abrupt end!

He suddenly turned back, and a drifter really half-turned! At this time, Bynum had been shaken out of his defensive position. An Jie slapped the ball to the ground hard, and together with the situation, he held the ball in his left hand and slammed it with one hand!

Bynum, who was completely left behind by An Jie, could only symbolically stretch out his hand to interfere, everything only happened between the lightning and flint, and he was just deceived by An Jie's footsteps and couldn't find the north!

"Oh my God! Ann dunks after a beautiful wobble! Her feet and dribble are perfect! 95% of the centers in the league don't have Ann's skills these days!" Mike Brin reappeared passionately, and Ann's performance made him feel like he was back in the 90s, the golden age of the center.

After scoring the goal with a wonderful action, An Jie did not yell at the audience again, but hooked his finger at Bynum, who was serving the baseline ball. The nature of the devil has been fully unleashed!

Modesty, that's just something that Anjie has off the field.

Kobe Bryant's expression was focused, and he knew that he and the Lakers would definitely get harder and harder to play in the future. Because that Thunder team No. 16, like him, never gives up easily!

As soon as the second quarter came up, the game was pushed to a climax, and no one knew what the showdown between the two sides would look like. (To be continued.) )
