Westbrook broke through the ball, and Durant, who got the ball, did not shoot like before, but borrowed Anjie's block to break inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Memet. Seeing this, Oku hurriedly made up for it in the three-second zone, but his slow pace could not be compared to Durant.

"Bang!" The basket let out a painful "moan" and kept shaking, and Durant did not let go of this opportunity to ravage the hoop. After the right hand split dunk, and after the timeout came back, the Thunder made a high-profile start.

Boozer was annoyed, this long-haired guy who had just come on the field used all the moves in order to stick to himself! Grabbing the jersey, holding the arms, clamping the thighs, Robert. Swift, without the referee's attention, used all means to restrain Boozer and prevent him from rushing to make up for the defense.

Boozer gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his bald head burst out.

"Damn, don't blame me for being unkind later!" Boozer clenched his fists and decided to return the favor for the rest of the fight.

After listening to Jeff. After Van Gundy broke through a lot, the three Thunder were suddenly liberated and frequently scored points on the inside.

Although Anjie is not as fast as Westbrook and Durant, it is more than enough to break through Oku, who is also a center.

And the Jazz also played smoothly with the successful execution of the pick-and-roll strategy. Delong. Williams was in good shape today, and Jazz point guard C.J. Myers was even hotter.

In the last training session he was beaten by Jerry. Sloan angrily denounced that this was not a scandal, but a fact. But he was not convinced, but it was completely fabricated by the reporters.

Miles didn't dare to get angry with Sloane at all, and all he could do was to make up for his mistakes in training with hard work.

Delong. Williams had three assists and C.J. Myers hit three three-pointers. With Oku's frequent breakaways, Myers used his perimeter projection to help the team stabilize the situation.

The rhythm of the game suddenly turned into a battle of offense, and the fans of the Chesapeake Energy Arena also breathed a sigh of relief. Based on the initial situation, they thought it would be another dull low-score matchup. But after the hiatus, it was clear that the game was much more exciting.

In the final four minutes of the first quarter, Carlos. Boozer was replaced by Jerry. Sloane was replaced, which also meant that the benches on both sides had completely taken over the remaining time.

Unlike the brilliant performances of both starters, the second teams of both teams were clearly more defensive, with fewer shots and fewer hits.

Just as the bench players were fighting each other, the first quarter of the game was also coming to an end.

24-23, the Jazz on the road only led the Thunder by one point. Although it was only the first quarter, Jerry. Sloan was clearly not happy with the outcome.

"It's wonderful, it's a game between two great coaches. I don't know who will be able to restrain whom in the end, but I can't think of such a tactic anyway. "Kenny. Smith applauded the first quarter of the game, and Jeff. Van Gundy and Jerry. Sloan's scheduling is really accurate and timely.

When it comes to the ability to dispatch on the spot, Van Gundy probably can't compare to Sloane. The reason he's doing so well is because the Thunder have a lot more roles to choose from now than they did at the start of the season.

Sloan was keen to swap Oku and Boozer, but the difficult Robert Brown was eager to switch places. Swift, however, rarely let the Jazz succeed.

Not long after the start of the second quarter, Oku finally made a success. He took the initiative to stick it before Robert went to pester Boozer. Boozer is completely liberated, and now he is finally free to protect the penalty area.

Westbrook is as aggressive as ever, see Carlos. Boozer is on the inside, and he's still undaunted. But after trying to break through a few times, he found that he was even connected with Delong in front of him. Williams couldn't shake it off.

Internode break at Jerry. Under Sloan's stern reprimand, the defensive intensity of the Iron Blood Sir has increased by another level!

"Russell!" Seeing that Westbrook couldn't find an opportunity for a long time, Anjie immediately leaned on Boozer in the low post, raised his right hand, and asked Westbrook for the ball.

"!" Boozer was very embarrassed by Anjie on the offensive end today, and now watching this rookie arrogantly leaning on himself to ask for the ball, Boozer couldn't say how excited he was. His chance to win back a city has finally come!

Westbrook hoisted the ball high to make sure no one but Anjie could catch it. Boozer immediately steadied himself and was ready for the onslaught of power that would follow.

"Anjie and Boozer are singles in the low post! The person who defended Anjie in this game was originally Oku, but now that Oku and Swift are wrapped together, can Boozer complete this sudden defensive task!? ”

In Jerry. With Sloan's complete system, Boozer's defense may not be a problem. But when he faced a strong interior line alone, his shortcomings could not be concealed.

An Jie sat back hard, and Boozer was immediately pushed back a big step.

Boozer continued to push harder, even at the expense of putting his center of gravity forward, trying to use the double pressure of weight and strength to stop Anjie's advance.

However, interior defense is not a simple brute force competition. An Jie, who felt the change in Boozer's center of gravity, suddenly turned around with a cross step, and Boozer, who was in front of his center of gravity, stumbled, and was completely left behind by An Jie.

The Jazz's interior defense can do well thanks to the mutual support of Boozer and Oku. Oku's individual defense ability has improved in recent years, but Boozer still has to rely on the system to complete the task.

Now Oku is stuck by Swift, and after the break, Anjie faces an unguarded basket.

Anjie made a layup, and Boozer made a jump-off block. Unexpectedly, this was just a feint by An Jie, seeing Boozer jumping, An Jie withdrew the basketball, turned around on the spot to avoid the block, hooked his hand again, and the basketball obediently slid into the net without an accident.

"Beautiful footsteps! Recently, Ann's style of play has become more and more simple, and many people have forgotten that he still has this hand. ”

That's why even "Big Dream" began to pay attention to Anjie. His talent for inside footwork is also highly appreciated by Olajuwon.

Boozer wanted to save face on the offensive end, but found himself in the mire of attack under Anjie's tough defense. He can still rely on his individual ability to score points, after all, basketball is not football, and it is almost impossible to keep a clean sheet against a strong offensive opponent. But the extremely low shooting percentage is the price Boozer needs to pay for choosing to play strongly.

Memet. Oku, as a fixed-point battery, has a poor ability to create space on its own. And this Robert. What Swift does best is squeezing the counterpoint of the space. Every time Oku receives the ball, he finds that the long-haired center has no intention of helping to defend the restricted area, but just confronts himself outside the three-point line inch by inch. Swift's defensive style is a drawback at times, but at least in this game, he did it perfectly.

C.J. Myers' strong performance in the first quarter made Durant more vigilant, and he didn't even get a chance to shoot, let alone score, in this quarter of the game.

Ronnie. Brewer did score a few goals on the head of Seforrosa, but he was stronger in defense than in attack, but he could not help the above three to carry the banner of attack.

Only Delong. Williams struggled to support himself on his own, and after the pick-and-roll, he mostly chose to attack on his own, because the efficiency of the other four obviously did not allow him to surrender the ball with confidence. Although Anjie always left Boozer and tried to chase back, he couldn't do anything with this weird-paced point guard.

An Jie's ability to judge the timing of the block is still good, but in the face of Delong. Williams, Anjie couldn't guess when he would choose to shoot. The fickle acceleration and deceleration, as well as the right pause, will make Anjie repeatedly deceived and miss the opportunity to block.

Delong. Williams is powerful, but his power alone is very limited. Jerry. Sloan was furious on the sidelines in the second quarter, and the fans in front of the TV were worried about the 66-year-old man.

"Is this how you guys fought with the Thunder!? Carlos! What are you doing!? How many opportunities have you wasted on the offensive end, do you have to compete with that Chinese to give up!? ”

"In the second half, you cover for DeLong a lot, Carlos you continue to open up space for him on the outside. Remember, don't leave without permission, your offense today is a mess! "Who doesn't know that Boozer's inside offense is a must, even if Jerry. Sloan arranged this, but Boozer was still eager to try.

In the Thunder locker room on the other side, Jeff. Van Gundy doesn't have much to stress about the starters. He is now more worried about the team's second lineup, after all, the Jazz still have Paul on the bench. Millsap, Kyle. Korver, "AK47" Andrey. Kirilenko and other good attackers. If the second team's defense collapses, the Thunder will have a hard time returning the favor with offense.

"Ann, you may have to rest a little more in the third quarter, and I plan to increase your playing time a little more later." If you want to improve defense, An Jie is definitely an indispensable role in the Thunder team.

"No problem, you can rest without much." Of course, Anjie will not be disgusted with playing time, but in order to take into account the lineup and the health of the players at the same time, Van Gundy cannot let Anjie play the second half arbitrarily.

In the fourth quarter, Van Gundy decided to save Angel until the final moments.

After the start of the second half, An Jie sat on the bench in a training uniform. The Thunder, who lacked an interior pillar, obviously made the Jazz's offense play much smoother.

Robert. Swift may be able to make a big difference when he is next to Anjie, but when he has to defend the box alone, he can't complete the task as before.

Collison, Kostic and Swift, the weak defense of the three big white men, is one of the reasons why Anjie has to work harder.

"Delong. Williams is now breaking through with ease! Under Ann's interference, he will have some scruples on the inside, and now that the Thunder team has less of that barrier, Williams' scoring is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables! ”

Delong. Williams has made 4-of-4 shots, all of which are easy points after breaking through to the interior through pick-and-rolls. The changes in the Thunder team after Anjie's departure are obvious.

The first lineup also has Durant and Westbrook, and with them during this time, the Thunder should still be able to withstand it, and it is precisely because of this that Van Gundy can let Anjie continue to rest like a nobody.

Because the first team is not too far away from the Jazz under the firepower of Durant and Westbrook, but if the second team does not have a barrier, it is definitely relatively dangerous.

Jerry. Sloan didn't believe that the Thunder, who had dominated the first half, would suddenly collapse, and he looked at the Thunder's bench, where the Asian center was still sitting next to Van Gundy.

"Intensify the attack! Speed me up! I want you to attack with all your might! Carlos! Don't you like to score, hit me, give me a shot! "Jerry. Sloan knew what the bald man wanted to do, put the trump card last? No, I'm going to finish the game before the end!

The Jazz's offense is rising wave after wave, and there is a lack of a center with good rim protection ability. Boozer was also completely released.

"Coach!" Seeing that the score difference was gradually widening, An Jie also anxiously shouted Van Gundy.

Van Gundy was unmoved, it wasn't time yet!

It's okay if you lose in the third quarter, if you lose in the fourth quarter, you don't have a chance!

With 3 minutes and 20 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Jerry. Sloan finally replaced the crazy Boozer, and now, the Jazz's on-court lineup has all become substitutes!

Boozer scored eight points on 4-of-10 shooting, Deron scored 12 points on 6-of-6 shooting in the first quarter, and if it weren't for Durant's equally eye-catching performance, maybe Sloan could have really ended the battle in the third quarter.

It's a pity that Durant and Westbrook's ability to fight back greatly exceeded his expectations.

As soon as Boozer got off the court, Van Gundy waved his hand, and Anjie quickly took off his training clothes.

"Listen, you have to stay on the pitch from now until the end of the game. Defending is your first task, so reduce some singles on the offensive end and drive your teammates more. Van Gundy knows that his second team is not strong in attacking independently, but if there is Anjie's scheduling, then everything will be different.

"Isn't it just 15 minutes, leave it to me." Anjie high-fived Swift, who was off the court, and clashed punches with Durant and Westbrook, who were sweating profusely on the bench. He understands that Van Gundy has put his hopes of victory on himself!

Paul. Millsap, Andrey. Kirilenko, Kyle. Korver, the Jazz's second team that Van Gundy feared, has been assembled.

So come on, let's start with you!

71-60, the Thunder trailed by 11 points. An Jie took a deep breath, next, look at him! (To be continued.) )
