Chapter 184: A Strong Start

As soon as the game began, the Kings were on the back foot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 There are a lot of good outside players, but there aren't many inside players. The Kings starters sent Kevin directly. Martin, Jason. Thompson, Tyreck. Evans, Jeff. Green and Spencer. Hawes.

The new Kings coach Paul. Westphall has pushed everyone on the team who can score to the starting lineup, but can that really put the Kings on fire?

The Kings' starting lineup of the big four is simply full of holes in defense.

Westbrook's skillful possession of the ball has made the physical zero guard a lot more composed than last season. Now you can see that Westbrook is organising the attack rather than looking for a breakthrough. The change in this point is obvious.

Kostic still pulled into the middle distance, Jeff. Green had to give up on the idea of making up for it in the three-second zone and was pulled out.

At this time, Anjie was in a good position, and there were only him and Hawes in the three-second zone, one-on-one!

"Will Westbrook pass in? On the inside side, An Jie has obviously formed a single! "The attention of CCTV and domestic fans to this game is also very high. This season, Yao Ming was injured, Artest left Los Angeles, and the Rockets were completely reduced to a civilian team. And Yi Jianlian is still fighting for the main position.

An Jie, who can play the main force and perform well, is naturally the guy that Chinese fans are most concerned about this season.

The ball was not too deep for Anjie, and Hawes was confident that he could prevent Anjie from entering the box at such a distance. Just when the soles of his feet were firmly planted and ready to accept An Jie's impact, An Jie suddenly leaned back before he could catch the ball.

"Want to grab a spot? Impossible stinky boy! Hawes gritted his teeth and sank his weight, ready to do his best to resist Anjie's back.

Unexpectedly, An Jie leaned back for a while, and then quickly leaned on the "stake" of Hoyce, turned around in a cross step, successfully got rid of it, and cut to the inside line without the ball.

The reason why you have to be on top is for this!

Westbrook didn't hesitate, followed the start and made a pass, and the basketball flew over the crowd to the hands of An Jie, who cut inside.

Anjie, who has gotten rid of the opponent in advance, is empty in front of him after receiving the ball, the first point of the new season, let's have something to look at!

Seeing Anjie burst in with the ball, Jeff. Green immediately added to the basket. As soon as he was in place, An Jie had already jumped high with the ball in both hands.

Jeff. Green stretched out his long arm to jump and interfere, but An Jie's momentum was too fierce to be stopped at all. Jeff. Green could only watch An Jie's violent clasp with both hands under the pressure of An Jie's huge body.

"Ann! Separate people and buckle violently! Lovely Jeff. Green, it's not good for him to meet An Zhun! Kenny at the scene commentary. Smith was enthusiastic, and the tone of the commentary was more passionate than in the studio.

"It seems that the training of the big dream training camp is very comprehensive, An Jie used to only have the ability to hold the ball and play alone, but he did not show too much talent to get rid of defense. Just got rid of the ball from Hawes, the choice of back feint attack and the pace of turning are very beautiful! "Reggie. Miller is arguably the most professional of the T.NT trio, and he generally looks at things in detail.

Indeed, how to get away from the defence without the ball is also part of Olajuwon's training sessions.

Seeing Anjie complete the dunk, Morris jumped up from the bench, covered his chest, and made an exaggerated shot. The Thunder's bench, led by Morris, is also lively.

"Defend, defend, defend!" Unlike the happy bench players, Van Gundy had a serious face and clapped his hands, reminding the players on the court to pay attention to the next Kings offense.

An Jie stood on the inside with his long arms and was close to the three-second zone, so as not to be whistled for a three-second offense. He's like a big net, waiting for the Kings' prey to break in on its own.

Facing Kostic's defense, Jeff. Green still came and went freely. Jeff. This is the advantage of Green's swing forward, he is more flexible when he plays a big man, but he has a height advantage when he plays a small man.

An off-ball pick-and-roll, Jeff. Green easily got rid of Kostic and ran outside the three-point line to catch the ball.

and Jeff. After a season of collaboration with Green, Kevin Brown. Martin's trust and understanding of Green are much better than before. As soon as Green was in position, Martin's ball found him.

Looking at the slow-paced "belated" Kostic, Jeff. Green made a decisive move! At this moment, Sephorosa, who joined the Thunder in the middle of last season, suddenly came out and interfered with Jeff. Green's shooting rhythm.

Jeff. Van Gundy's defense, that's a whole system! It's not that you can easily score points by getting rid of the counterpoint.

With the interference of Sephorosa, Jeff. Green's three-pointer slammed into the box. Anjka is in a good position, and Hawes can't squeeze in at all.

After getting the rebound, Anjie launched an attack with a long pass in the backcourt, and the basketball accurately fell into the hands of Westbrook, who had already started. The latter jumped from the free throw line on one foot, leaped high and finished the attack with a powerful slam dunk.

The entire Chesapeake Energy Arena went crazy, and with the opening two goals, the Thunder were like a rainbow!

"That's the terrible thing about Oklahoma City! They're good at positional battles, but these players can use their individual abilities to play beautiful transition attacks. Anjie's accurate passing can indeed make him a very effective offensive initiator! ”

The Thunder team slashed four points in a row like lightning, and before the Kings players on the court could react, they were already suppressed by the Thunder in momentum.

Mention the potential rookie Terrick who came up in the No. 3 position. Evans played very aggrieved because the tall and long-arm Durant covered him with no chance to catch the ball. Kevin. Martin also didn't have room to shoot under Westbrook's close attention. Everyone on the Kings team struggled to get rid of their own entanglement, and they kept passing the ball, but in the end they still couldn't get a chance.

If it weren't for the last moment Jeff. Green forced a foul on a slow-paced Kostic, and the Kings would surely be scoreless again in those 24 seconds.

"Kostic's defense is still very problematic, too slow, too soft, and protecting the basket is really not his forte." Charles. Barkley will not let go of any opportunity to complain about others.

"Coach Van Gundy won't worry about that this season, there are two good cards on the bench that he hasn't played." The camera was very cooperative with Morris and Ibaka on the Thunder bench. The two newcomers giggled and didn't look nervous at all.

Van Gundy is arguably one of the most composed managers, with Kostic making Jeff twice in a row. Green's chance wasn't enough for him to break the rotation plan.

An Jie's two inside helpers haven't yet come to their debut.

The Thunder's offensive possession was once again controlled by Westbrook, and just when everyone was expecting Anjie to score again, Durant, the real core of the Thunder team, who has always been very low-key, received the basketball without saying a word.

"Anjie's movement is very confusing! The Kings' defensive focus has fallen on him, and they will pay the price for ignoring Durant! ”

Durant receives basketball from former teammate Jeff. Green came to interfere. In the third year, Durant, who has passed his rookie period, is more of a killer than before.

Cool jump, aim, shot. The whole action was done in one go and was not affected by Jeff at all. Green's influence.

The No. 35 jersey fluttered in the wind, the basketball went into the net, and the DJ shouted the name of the jersey owner.

"Kevin~~~~~~ Durant! Three points! ”

In three rounds, the Thunder three young offenses were all played! The strength of the Thunder team was vividly reflected from the first game!

"This is the new season's Thunder Three Less! They are determined to turn the river and the sea in the west! ”

After that, the situation of the game was still firmly controlled by the Thunder team, and the Thunder team's firepower on the offensive end was very fierce, whether it was outside or inside, the Kings had no way to get three less.

Westbrook made an all-time record of just two shots and four assists. And the two times he shot, they all hit.

Just five minutes into the first quarter, Van Gundy replaced four of the starting line-ups and gave them an early rest.

The only person who stayed on the court was Anjie, and the reason why Van Gundy let him continue to play was to consolidate the Thunder's defense, and secondly, to test how well he paired with his new partner.

"Andrew. Morris, he's off his training uniform and ready to play! This is the interior rookie selected by the Thunder with the seventh pick this season, and he can play both center and power forward positions at the same time! The performance of another rookie of the Thunder team is very much worth looking forward to! Presti is known for his eye-catching, and Morris, as another choice for Presti, is naturally in the spotlight.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Anjie smiled and looked at Morris wearing a Thunder jersey, it was really a dream.

"Come on, Ann, just like we used to do." Morris and Anjie skillfully bumped fists, not so much new helpers, but old partners!

Rickard was waiting in Peggy's hospital room at the moment, his wife was almost in labor, and of course he had to stay as a husband.

The television in the hospital room was on, and the game between the Kings and the Thunder was live. It was only while Peggy was asleep that Riccard had a chance to watch the game.

After the pause came back, the scene was all over the place, and the moment when Morris and Anjie bumped fists was captured.

Ricard clenched his fists excitedly, and two of his three proudest disciples were now playing together again. This picture seems to take him back to two years ago. The white jersey of the Thunder team seemed to have turned red to the Whirlwind team in his eyes.

"Beat the stinky boys, don't embarrass me."

The powerful interior twin towers of the former Whirlwind team are now reappearing on the NBA arena again! (To be continued.) )
