Jeff Van Gundy was the latest sleeper on the Thunder's team, but he was also the first to wake up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This simple man doesn't need much entertainment, family life and basketball life, it seems to be everything to him.

An old black Toyota sedan that is not at all conspicuous on the streets of Oklahoma. When you meet you on the street, you will think that some countryman has taken his wife and children to the city. But when you get close to the car and look at the people in the cab, you're sure to be startled.

The car was owned by Jeff Van Gundy, who could afford it to an average American family, and the car was very inconsistent with his status as a public figure.

But that's what Van Gundy is used to and how he lives, it's not that he doesn't have a better car, the Knicks gave him a Mercedes-Benz SUV, and then the Rockets gave him a BMW car. But Jeff Van Gundy didn't want to drive, he still liked his shabby Toyota. However, this car is also really in line with Van Gundy's image and temperament.

Old-fashioned, not only characteristic of Van Gundy on the field. In life, he is also an old-fashioned person.

A huge roar of engines hit Van Gundy's ears, and in the early morning the rich children of Oklahoma were still sleeping under the covers with the woman in their arms. At this time, there is a chance that people who drive sports cars out and are in the same direction as themselves are nine times out of ten......

"Hello, boss!" Before Van Gundy could finish thinking about it, An Jie rolled up the window and greeted Van Gundy.

"So early, what about Morris?" Van Gundy also opened the window, the long red light in Oklahoma City was really annoying.

"What about here?" Anjie pointed to the ground, and Van Gundy craned his neck to see Morris lying in his seat. Da Manniu put the co-pilot's seat almost flat, and lay on it to make up for sleep.

"This guy, when he trains today, let him take a good refreshment. Van Gundy shook his head, though old-fashioned, he still joked with the players.

"I'm just waiting for you to say that. An Jie looked at Morris, who was still asleep, and the big man didn't know that he had been calculated by two ill-intentioned guys.

After waiting for a long time, the green light at this intersection finally flashed. Anjie waved his hand at Van Gundy, lightly tapped the accelerator, and his Mazda-RX7 rushed out, and at this time, Van Gundy's old Toyota had just shifted to first gear and started to start.

By the time Angel and the others went to the locker room to change their clothes, most of them had already warmed up. Because An Jie didn't come early today, during the playoffs, it is not a good time to practice. If you can't guarantee that you have enough energy, it's hard to stick around in the playoffs.

A few minutes later, Van Gundy stepped into the locker room. He quickly glanced at his players, and everyone was in good spirits, except for Morris, who was still sleepy-eyed.

But he doesn't worry about Morris, this guy always has that look on his face when he trains. But once the game starts, Da Manniu will always be in a state of extreme excitement.

"Guys, this morning, we're going to focus on tactics. Van Gundy tapped on the whiteboard and turned on the projector.

"Tactics?" said Morris's already dull eyes.

"Yes, and you're going to give me a word for all Andrew, and when you misremember a tactic, I'll lose a minute of your playing time. ”

"Yes!" Morris was immediately refreshed as soon as he heard that he was going to cut back on his playing time.

After more than ten minutes of tactical talk, the players realized that something was wrong. This tactic is very different from the past, but it is familiar.

True, they have played with such tactics before, and more than once. But this system is still a little rusty for the Thunder.

"In other words, the game is going to revolve around Ann?" Westbrook asked first. He has found that Durant and himself have become supporting roles under this system. Although they are also the offensive endpoints, the guy who really controls the overall situation is the center.

Morris is very familiar with this tactic, because this is how Ricard arranged it when he was in the Whirlwind!

"That's right, in the next game, we will play with An as the absolute core!" Van Gundy's words stunned everyone in the locker room, including An Jie himself.

It's okay to play with An Jie as the core for a few minutes in a game, and it is not surprising for players to play with An Jie as the core for a few games in a season. However, in the important Western Conference semifinals, Van Gundy not only made a temporary change of lineup, but also produced a core that they did not expect.

An Jie does have strength, but he is only a sophomore who has not yet left his rookie period. An Jie was indeed selected for the Western All-Star team, but the honors he received were only "painless" awards such as Asian Championship MVP and Rookie Game MVP.

Is it really okay to have such a guy as the core to play against the mighty Lakers? Durant is still the youngest scoring champion in NBA history.

"Don't be surprised, it's not like we've never done this before. I want you to fully cooperate with An Jie, and the next game, An, is in your hands. Van Gundy ignored the surprised expressions of the entire locker room, and he would not change the decision he had already made.

"Okay, let's go to the field to practice and drill to know if the tactics are appropriate. I believe Ann has that ability, even if it's the playoffs. As the original core, Durant was the first to stand up for Anjie. In this way, others will not have any opinions.

Durant has a gentle personality, and while he can score, he doesn't squeeze his teammates in order to score for himself. Otherwise, with Westbrook's style, Durant still has a chance to win the point king. It is precisely because of his character that the three young thunderbolts can be tied together.

Tactical training soon went smoothly under Alton's leadership, with Morris being placed on the bench by Van Gundy, but it was only to give Angel a decent opponent.

It's not because Ibaka is not strong, but because of the defense of Morris and Ibaka, which can really produce no less pressure on Anjie than in actual combat.

At the beginning of the confrontation, An Jie felt that all this was very familiar. It was as if he had gone back two years to Ames City, to Iowa State University.

Mike Taylor is just a pseudo-core, like Westbrook now. Morris is Anjie's best helper, just like Durant now. Although it was only a tactical exercise, An Jie's passing and cutting were done perfectly and skillfully, but it was the running position of the small men, and some of them could not keep up with the rhythm of his passing.

"Faster, faster, faster! The Lakers' defense is tighter than this!" Van Gundy has been shouting from the sidelines, and so far, the effect of the change of formation is good!

An Jie finally regained the thrill of being in control, even the league's leading scorer had to play under his command.

He stood outside the three-point line, Westbrook used his impact to pull the bench defense, and Durant, who was cruising outside, was tormenting the opponent's nerves all the time.

In Anjie's opinion, the defense of the substitute team has been shattered. His ability to read the game was already strong, and now with that much better vision than a defender, the ball can be deadly.

Morris is getting more and more serious, trying harder and harder. However, he still couldn't stop Anjie's side from scoring.

When everyone on the bench team gathers towards Anjie, Westbrook will suddenly break through with the ball and easily score points in the huge gap

But they can't shrink, because the youngest scorer hasn't fired yet.

Confrontation training is becoming more and more intense, and it is getting closer and closer to actual combat. But under the leadership of An Jie, the offensive firepower of the main team has not decreased at all.

If Van Gundy hadn't stopped training in time, the main team would have gone crazy.

The bald guy laughed with satisfaction, his hard work was not in vain, and this trick will definitely let everyone on the Lakers know how enthusiastic Oklahoma's "rednecks" are.

You know, this is the first day that the Thunder team officially practiced this system. When the official competition starts, the system will not be mature, but at least it will be more efficient than it is now.

The Chesapeake Energy Arena under the sunset is so deserted, so full of life and hope.

Countless people took pictures in the square outside the stadium, but they just saw it as a tourist attraction.

But for another group of people, this is the battlefield. This is a place where you have to fight to the death to get out.

Basketball is the war of modern men. It knows no nationality or creed, but it is no less intense.

The lads who have worked up their sweat in the training ground have found a new and powerful weapon. Just waiting for the invading Purple Gold Legion to become a piece of armor!

This is the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the "Blue Ocean." Here, blue and white lightning can be punishable by death for all. (To be continued.) )
