Chapter 295: Abruptly Stopped?
In the first game of the new season, the Thunder defeated the Bulls, and the Thunder showed their strength in the first game. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Presti clapped incessantly in the luxurious box, and the players even exceeded his expectations.
Now the Thunder will be harmonious, the locker room is stable, and the players are willing to work hard...... He really can't think of how such a Thunder team will fail, this season is destined to be a season that will allow the Thunder team to take off and evolve.
"Defeat the Heat!?Thunder Three Lesser Lightning Power!"
"The big win over the Bulls is just the first step for the Thunder to conquer the league. ”
"Guard, forward, center, the Thunder's invincible third line. ”
A day later, the Thunder's name was even more popular than the Heat's. Countless TV shows and newspaper covers, all of which are the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Big Three of the Heat are certainly strong, but there are obvious problems with their run-in, and the depth of the Heat's second lineup is also very embarrassing. But the Thunder are different, although this group of young people has not yet reached their peak, but when they add up, the strength they show is even more feared than the Heat Big Three.
A team with both individuals and teams is of course terrifying.
Under the pursuit of the outside world, the Thunder team's conquest is indeed only the first step.
On October 29, the Thunder played the first road of the new season, and they stepped onto the Auburn Hills Palace Stadium to play the Pistons.
The Pistons have become high-profile this summer by signing Maddy, but the addition of Maddy has not made any qualitative changes to their strength. The Pistons are undoubtedly still a team that is groping for a rebuild, so it is not a problem for the Thunder to take the Pistons, even if they are playing on the road.
Ben Gordon of the Pistons felt hot in this game, scoring 32 points in the game, and was even able to argue with Durant at one point. But Westbrook's 21 points and Anjie's 18 points and 11 rebounds were something the rest of the Pistons couldn't.
105-100, just like the first game, the Pistons struggled to catch up throughout the game, but unfortunately they couldn't tie the score until the last minute.
Once again, the Thunder were in control, and although the margin was not large, the Pistons did not cause much trouble for the Thunder from start to finish.
Now, Thunder players are being interviewed more and more, and they're appearing on the covers of various basketball magazines. Many players are bent on moving to places with high wages, but in fact, as long as you can win, high wages will come to you.
Make programs, write columns, and make endorsements. The two consecutive wins at the beginning of the game not only allowed the Thunder to move up the rankings, but also greatly increased the additional income of the players.
On October 31, the last day of October, the Thunder played against the Jazz, undoubtedly one of the most high-profile games of the day.
The interior combination of Millsap and Al Jefferson has caused a lot of problems for Anjie and Morris, and Jefferson, who was squeezed out by Love this summer, moved to the Jazz and did a lot better than he did when he was with the Timberwolves. Perhaps after so many years of grinding, Jefferson knows what convergence is and what team is.
Not only was Jefferson able to attack on his own, but he also delivered a couple of penetrating passes. It can be said that he is the toughest opponent An Jie has faced since the start of this season.
However, it is difficult to entangle, which does not mean that Anjie will be at a disadvantage. Jefferson is one of those interior players who are both fast and strong, but why not Anjie?
The two inside players played back and forth, and because Millsap had a very wide shooting range, he was always able to pull Morris out and let Jefferson and Anjie die on the inside.
On top of that, Deron Williams also kept the Jazz's offense in order. The Thunder showed fatigue for the first time today under the Jazz's steady offense and ended up losing 120-114.
But just three days later, on Nov. 3, the Thunder came out of the haze of defeat. Today Anjie is in the familiar Los Angeles, the familiar Staples, where he was still playing against the Lakers a few months ago. But today, their opponent is not the Lakers, but the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers have had a high attendance this season as their No. 1 pick last year, Blake Griffin, finally returned to the basketball court after being reimbursed for the season.
At first, Clippers fans were worried that they had selected a glass man top, and Clippers fans shuddered when they thought about the Trail Blazers' Oden.
But judging by the performances in the last few games, Griffin is definitely a guy worthy of the title of champion. The nickname of "White Monster" really lives up to its name, and this strong forward's dunk can break the sky every time, and the exciting picture of the dunk is frequently staged by Griffin.
Today, Griffin vs. the Thunder's defensive and tough interior combination, such a competition is naturally highly anticipated.
Just into the second minute of the game, Griffin burst with the ball after an oversight by Morris. Looking at this formation, Griffin is definitely going to dunk again, and at this moment, the person in front of him is An Jie!
The entire Staples fans stood up, expecting the collision of Mars against Earth. Griffin's legs tensed, and he kicked the ground hard, slamming into the air. This is Blake Griffin, who is always able to ignore defenders for dunks.
But An Jie is not an ordinary insider, he is a tall center who was selected to the best defensive first team last season! Seeing Griffin rushing towards him menacingly, An Jie did not show weakness.
The bodies of the two quickly collided together, An Jie gritted his teeth, Griffin's strength, strength and explosiveness were really strong enough! If it was last season, An Jie would really be deducted by Griffin. It's a pity that the main target of Anjie's training this summer is the body!
After the collision with An Jie, Griffin continued to exert strength, but he found that An Jie still did not give an inch. Gradually, Griffin lost his center of gravity, and Anjie touched the basketball in Griffin's hand with the advantage of height and reach.
In the end, Griffin, who lost his balance, fell to the ground hard, and An Jie fanned the basketball in his hand out of bounds!
The whole Staples was dead silent, Clippers fans watched everything on the court in disbelief, and the unstoppable Griffin was actually so embarrassed by the Chinese!
After completing the sealing, An Jie waved his fist vigorously, wanting to complete the buckle on my head, impossible!
Later, Griffin's rough technical shortcomings were targeted by Van Gundy, and Morris and Anjie also made Griffin's shortcomings infinitely magnified.
After that, the Clippers also let Anjie's old rival DeAndre Jordan try a few times. But since college, Jordan Jr. has never won at Anjie's hands.
The interior was completely blocked, and the Clippers had to rely on Eric Gordon's outside shots to bite the score. So the game went back to its previous rhythm, and the Thunder didn't make the difference wider, but they kept control of the game. With that control, another game was controlled.
When Griffin was forced to shoot only from mid-range, the Clippers weren't far from being stranded. 107-92, after the Thunder lost to the Jazz, they took down the swaggering Griffin in Staples.
An Jie's 25 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks exploded the champion along with Jordan Jr. And Anjie's block that blocked Griffin's dunk was selected as the second of today's top five balls. The image of Griffin being humiliated is also remembered by fans around the world.
The following day, the Thunder took down the former Young Guards Trailblazers. Just two days later, the Thunder lost to the returning Celtics Big Three, but won another game against the 76ers......
Win, win, win. The theme of this season is clear, although they will still lose one or two games once in a while, but winning is the main trend of the Thunder.
Before you know it, the regular season of the new season has been played for more than 20 games. During this period, the Heat triumvirate gradually got on the right track and won a lot of games. During this period, the Thunder have won game after game, and they are already the most championship-winning team in the West.
However, an incident happened yesterday that made An Jie unhappy. Although Yao Ming's performance has been poor since his comeback this season, his playing time has been severely limited. But as long as Yao Ming can still play, the fans will have confidence in him.
But yesterday, Yao Ming was injured again in the game. Everyone didn't expect that after waiting for a whole season, Yao Ming's comeback would be so short. It's short, and even a little unkind.
Yao Ming's body has long been unable to withstand the torture of this intensity, and his comeback this time is just to prove whether this is true or not. I don't cry when I don't see the coffin, but Yao Ming didn't expect that the reality was really so cruel.
Dragging a body heavier than others, Yao Ming was very difficult to adapt in this faster and faster alliance. Although the final diagnosis has not yet come out, Yao Ming himself knows that he will not be able to return to the court.
An Jie was still sighing about Yao Ming's injury, but now, he himself had to go on the field to continue his fight.
Chinese fans are lucky, although Yao Ming was injured again and Yi Jianlian was depressed, but at least, they still have An Jie. Everyone put their trust in Yao Ming on An Jie.
Now, the Thunder have won four in a row. A win over the Warriors in this game would see the Thunder on their second five-game winning streak of the season.
The Warriors are clearly on the right track, and now with Ellis and Curry's backcourt duo, their offensive firepower should not be underestimated. Such an offensive combination is definitely a big challenge for the Thunder's defense.
The game has been going on quietly, with the Thunder and Warriors alternately leading, but the team that has been led by the nose has always been the Warriors. If it weren't for Stephen Curry's hot hand today, the Warriors would not have been able to do this.
With five minutes left in the third quarter, the score was still not pulled away. But Anjie and his teammates were confident, so in this ball, Westbrook still shifted the battlefield to the inside line unhurriedly, letting Anjie deal with the offense.
The defender of Anjie is 20+10 club regular David Lee, who has been defeated by Anjie many times today, and this time, Anjie does not plan to let accidents happen.
He sat down hard and pushed Li inside, and when he was near the three-second zone, An Jie suddenly began to shake his shoulders.
With his strong strength and Olajuwon's shoulder-shaking skills taught by him, Anjie's series of moves made David Lee scratch his head. He couldn't guess whether An Jie was going to turn to the right and hook his hand, or turn to the left to shoot.
Just when David Lee hesitated, An Jie suddenly turned left and jumped to shoot! David Lee didn't have time to react, but instinctively rushed forward.
This was not enough to interfere with An Jie's shooting rhythm, An Jie completed the whole set of shooting actions in the air, and the basketball obediently flew into the net. But when An Jie landed, he felt as if he had stepped on something.
This step made the center of gravity support point of An Jie's foot messy. Suddenly, An Jie felt a heart-rending pain. Just as the Thunder fans and players were celebrating, they found Anjie lying to the ground in pain...... An Jie felt not only his ankle, but also his knee seemed to be bruised.
The Thunder's smooth season trajectory seems to have a crack. An Jie chuckled in his heart, he felt that this time it was no longer as simple as a mild sprain......
