I don't know if it's because I haven't jumped the ball for too long, An Jie actually lost to Robin, who was a head shorter than him, in this link. Lopez. www.biquge.infoLopez was one second faster than An Jie to shoot the basketball, and Suns power forward "Little Overlord" Stoudemire took the ball.

Nash quickly ran towards the frontcourt, and Amare . Stoudemire immediately passed the ball to Nash. The Suns started with their first offense and ran!

With a pick-and-roll from Stoudemire, the veteran Nash got straight away from Westbrook's defense. However, at this time, the Thunder's new starting point guard Damion . Wilkins' strengths are evident, and although he is not a veteran, he still has a lot more experience in the NBA arena than others.

Hear Damien. Wilkins's name may seem familiar to people, and yes, Dominic, who was once called the "essence of human cinema". Wilkins, it's this Damien. Wilkins' uncle!

Although Damien. Wilkins isn't a great attacker, but he's definitely a good perimeter defender! The fact that this man was not used heavily under Callesimo was something Van Gundy did not understand. Therefore, as with Anjie, Van Gundy immediately activated the player who had been on the bench for a month in his first game after taking over the team.

Wilkins didn't disappoint Van Gundy either, and his good defensive awareness allowed him to block Nash's shot at the right time.

However, Nash is not an ordinary small guard, and he is a top presence in the NBA in terms of passing skills. Seeing that the shooting angle was blocked, Nash temporarily decided to change the shot to a pass. He caught a glimpse of small forward Matt, who was running outside the three-point line. Barnes, Nash immediately turned his wrist, and the basketball flew towards Barnes with precision.

Durant thought Nash was going to make a move, so he didn't follow Barnes much. Unexpectedly, Nash suddenly passed the ball, and Barnes took the ball and threw it.

Durant, who was two steps away from Barnes, immediately went to block it, but to no avail. The Suns scored a three-pointer as soon as they came up!

"Nash has a beautiful assist, and only a guard like him can handle the Suns' fast-paced offense in an orderly manner." Mike. Bryn's voice is very pleasant to listen to.

"Russell! Have you forgotten how we should stand when we block and dismantle? You can't just be confined by a pick-and-roll. Van Gundy shouted at Westbrook from the sidelines, and it looked like three days was not going to completely break the defensive habits of this group of guys.

After switching to the Thunder offense, Robin. Lopez vividly remembers how his college basketball career ended. He has gathered enough strength to make a comeback in the NBA. So he set up a posture near the three-second zone, ready to face An Jie at any time.

Unexpectedly, An Jie suddenly stopped after running to the free throw line, and did not continue to settle in the penalty area.

"What is this?" Even so, Robin still didn't dare to slack off, and he quickly followed Angel out.

Seeing Robin being led out by himself, An Jie immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball, and Westbrook handed over the ball as An Jie wished.

At the same time, Durant cut into the box on a reverse run. Barnes hurriedly chased after him, but was still thrown out of half a position by Durant, who suddenly activated.

Half a body, this is enough for An Jie to pass the ball into the penalty area. An Jie held the basketball high near the free throw line, and suddenly made a pass, and Durant, who cut inside to the restricted area, slapped the horse.

Seeing this, Stoudemire had no choice but to leave Joe. Smith stepped into the restricted area, but Durant was not afraid of Stoudemire's block, and he received the ball and went straight to the basket!

Stoudemire didn't expect Durant to choose to ignore his defense, and he immediately jumped to block, but Durant's bounce and long arm kept Stoudemire from touching the basketball.

Under the fierce physical collision, Durant's ball did not go up, but he managed to get Stoudemire to carry a foul as soon as he started!

"Anjie's passing is very accurate! When was the last time we saw a center forward coming in? I remember it going back to the time when I beat the king of Princeton. That's how Divac played at that time, and An Jie really didn't follow the wrong master. "Mike. Brin saw not only Durant's bravery, but also Anjie's contributions.

On the offensive end, Van Gundy gave Anjie more freedom to stand, he knew that Anjie had rich offensive means, so Van Gundy did not limit Anjie's offensive position like Kalesimo, but let Anjie listen to his instructions at any time according to the situation, and then choose whether to organize in the high position or find a breakthrough in the low post.

However, Van Gundy's tactic for Anjie now is to play the role of playmaker in a high position.

Van Gundy admits Westbrook's impact is strong, but as a point guard, Westbrook's playmaking skills are clearly substandard.

Previously, Calesimo's solution to this problem was to let Earl. Watson, the authentic No. 1 position, came to pair with Westbrook in the backcourt, but then the Thunder's defense on the guard line would be directly dragged down.

In order to ensure the defensive intensity, Van Gundy boldly and directly gave up the idea of organizing the attack by the guard, and instead handed over the responsibility of organizing the attack to An Jie. After watching so many videos of An Jie, coupled with the fact that An Jie was still a disciple taught by Divac himself, Van Gundy believes that An Jie must have this ability.

As a result, in this first attack, although An Jie did not get an assist, he still handled the ball very beautifully.

Since Westbrook began to control more of the ball, Durant has found himself increasingly comfortable playing without the ball. Especially when An Jie passes him on the field, as long as he runs out of the gap, An Jie's pass can always find him.

"It's only the first offense, but we can already see that the Thunder now have a clear idea."

After Durant hit both free throws, the Suns sent a baseline shot.

The Suns' baseline ball is different from other teams, and most teams will stand in place for their teammates to serve the baseline ball to their own hands for safety reasons.

In order to be able to raise the rhythm and maximize the characteristics of running and shooting, Nash received the baseline ball from his teammates while running.

So by the time Nash received the ball, he was already on the verge of half-court!

Anjie had just run to the defensive position and turned around, and saw that Nash had already hit the outside of the three-point line!

Without paying attention, Nash passed the ball out again, Stoudemire received the ball and went into the penalty area, and before Anjie could make up for the defense, Stoudemire had already dunked.

That's the power of running and bombing! Don't you Van Gundy like to emphasize defensive positioning? But before your players can get their feet, the Suns' offense is over!

Helplessly, Anjie didn't do anything and started running towards the Suns' half court, and he finally knew how unfavorable the development trend of modern basketball is for the center position. He and Robin. Like Lopez, both of them had to do a switchback run on this offense.

Under the influence of Nash, Westbrook was unconsciously brought into such a fast pace. Although the person who organized the attack became An Jie, he was still the one who controlled the ball. Seeing that An Jie hadn't run up yet, he quickly launched an offensive.

This is one of the great things about the run-and-gun tactic, where the Suns can always unconsciously bring the opponent into their own rhythm.

Westbrook passes the ball to Wilkins and cuts inside himself. Westbrook thought he would be able to run in front of a physically poor Nash, only to find that Nash was on his receiving path all the time. Even without physical contact, Nash was a fan of Westbrook's lack of temper.

Wilkins was a little overwhelmed with the ball, and his role was a bit like Anthony in the former Whirlwinds. Ben is both athletic and defensive, but he can't do much on the offensive end.

Wilkins kept the ball and waited for Angel to settle before passing it out.

An Jie didn't stop for another second after receiving the ball, and immediately distributed the ball from his high point to the bottom corner. Durant got a fleeting opportunity, and he made a quick shot.

Durant finally played the rhythm he liked, so the feel and confidence were too good. This ball Matt. Barnes had defended well, but Durant's basketball went in!

Anjie's way of passing the ball is called "one touch of the ball" in football, and the advantage of this kind of passing is that it is quickly transferred, making it difficult for the defender to keep up with the rhythm. The disadvantage is that the passer is very demanding and prone to mistakes. However, judging from Anjie's performance, it is not particularly difficult for him to control this kind of passing.

Kevin. Durant! Cut five points in a row! It's still a wonderful pass from Anjie, and the two little guys have made Van Gundy's strategy successful twice in a row. ”

In the subsequent matchup, the Suns and Thunder couldn't defend each other's offense, and the Suns' running and bombing made the Thunder team who had just accepted the new system unable to adapt, and the Thunder's rare routine of organizing offense by the center also made the Suns unable to defend against it.

With four minutes left in the first quarter, Anjie and Nash both went off. Nash got three assists, while Anjie got four! As a center forward, Anjie's data is also very different.

"Ann! Later, when you're defending, you move a little bit closer into the three-second zone, and if necessary, you just stand in the three-second zone and wait! When An Jie got off the scene, Van Gundy immediately said to An Jie according to what was written on the small note.

"But......" An Jie was about to say something, but was interrupted by Van Gundy.

"Don't worry that you're going to defend a three-second violation, the Suns use this mentality to successfully hit the interior time and time again. Before you can defend the three-second violation, the Suns players are already rushing in! Van Gundy was right, and he wasn't putting on a show when he was crossing the sidelines.

"I'll do it." An Jie nodded, and paid serious attention to the direct competition between the two teams' second teams.

Because Van Gundy made a lot of adjustments to the team's rotation, the Thunder's second team was not so unbearable. Although the defense was a little worse, due to Wilcox and Desmond. The presence of Mason, the offense of the Thunder's second team, is their strong point.

Defense has never been the Suns' strong point, and the Thunder's second team has made it clear that it won't defend. As a result, the substitutes on both sides played brilliantly for the rest of the game, even more dazzling than the starters.

However, under the impact of the two forwards, Mason and Wilcox, the Suns are still slightly at a disadvantage. At the end of the first quarter, the score became 26-25, and the Thunder took a rare lead in the first quarter!

'The scores were high on both sides and Coach Van Gundy showed with his second team that he wasn't just defensive. Mike. Brin appreciates the change Van Gundy has brought to the Thunder.

"The offense played well in the first quarter! In the second quarter, we have to defend! Van Gundy took a small bench and sat among the tall players and began to lay out the tactics of the second quarter.

Everyone on the Thunder wants to get on the court and keep the game going well. They don't look like a team that's only been on a 10-game losing streak, and they're full of spirit!

The sparse squad is really not an excuse that can be used to cover up the lack of coaching ability.
