Jeff Van Gundy found that sitting in the commentary area of the Moda Center, the view was much better than that of the coach's seat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If the dugout can also be set up in this kind of place, then the coaches will be more accurate in judging the game.

However, the bench and head coach on the sidelines are also one of the scenery on the basketball court. Van Gundy withdrew his gaze and looked at his partner, Mike Brin. As the match was about to begin, Mike Brin motioned for Van Gundy to look at the information in front of him.

Van Gundy casually rolled his eyes with the folder. Soon, though, he tossed the thick book aside. The Trail Blazers and the Thunder, these two teams, Van Gundy, are all too familiar. The prepared information may not have been as detailed as Van Gundy himself knew.

Mike Brin smiled, it would have been quite interesting to be able to play with someone who really knows the ball.

While Van Gundy was looking around aimlessly, players from both the Trail Blazers and Thunder began to warm up.

Van Gundy's eyes instantly became focused, and there was nothing to be nervous about the work of the commentator, but Van Gundy's feelings for the two sides made him very complicated at the moment.

"Hello audience friends, welcome to ESPN. I'm Mike Brin and sitting next to me is Jeff Van Gundy, the NBA's best coach and coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder last season. Jeff, say hello to everyone. "Mike Brin skillfully introduced Van Gundy, with Van Gundy and himself, I believe that ESPN's ratings will definitely soar today.

"Thank you Mike, today against a team that is both offensive and defensive, and the Thunder's defense is ......" Speaking of this, Van Gundy paused. The Thunder's defense was cultivated by him. It's a bit strange to judge the Thunder from the perspective of an onlooker.

"The Thunder's defense is very balanced from the outside to the inside, and Andrew Morris is sure to cause a lot of problems for Ahn, as for Westbrook and Durant, they are two very good perimeter players defensively. Although it is a home game, although the Trail Blazers still maintain a winning record, I have to say that the Thunder is really a hard nut to bite. Van Gundy immediately dissected the situation of the game, and I have to admit that this guy is really very professional.

"You know the Thunder very well because you were the coach of this great team last season. So what do you think are some of the difficulties that the Thunder had to overcome today?" Mike Brin threw out a question, and so far, the two have worked very well together.

"Stability, the biggest problem with the Thunder's offense, is stability. Whether it's Westbrook or Durant, these two guys are often inconsistent in their shooting percentages. Especially against the Trail Blazers' high-intensity defense, this situation may be more likely!" Van Gundy knows the strengths of the Thunder, and naturally understands the weaknesses of the Thunder.

"So what do you think Coach Brooks should do about it?"

"If three or four years ago, I would have chosen to use Anjie as the main attack. Jeff Van Gundy's joke made Mike Brin and the audience in front of the TV fall backwards. Anjie, this guy is the biggest threat to the Thunder right now.

Van Gundy has gotten better and more committed to being a commentator, and fans have found the level of this "up-and-coming" commentator to be surprisingly good.

On the field, An Jie and his former club met again. As always, he hugged the main players on behalf of the Trail Blazers and Thunder. Everyone here was a brother who fought side by side with him back then.

But after the hug, An Jie immediately threw himself into the fight. Every time Paul George plays the Trail Blazers, he gets really motivated. And the same motivation will occur when An Jie meets Thunder.

Before the start of the game, ESPN gave a special comparison. A list appears at the bottom of the screen, listing the injury histories of Angel and Westbrook. Among them, two of the same places are marked in red by ESPN's director. The injury that Anjie and Westbrook share is called a torn meniscus.

Although they have both experienced such major injuries, this season, Anjie and Westbrook are also in the top five of the MVP list.

This intriguing contrast undoubtedly shows the unusual perseverance and strength of the two, and a small contrast has also doubled the interest of fans in this match.

Jeff Van Gundy is now eager to rush to the away bench at the Moda Center, and he's been worried about whether Brooks will miss any details. You know, in this kind of high-level competition, details can be the key to winning or losing.

But at the same time, Van Gundy is constantly reminding himself. "I'm just a narrator, Scott Brooks, the one who controls the blue and white lightning. ”

With mixed feelings, Anjie and Morris stood in the center circle. Once again, the pieces of the broken puzzle were put together. But today, this painting, which is composed of the pieces of the puzzle of the past, has long since become a different landscape.

As soon as the game began, the confrontation between the two sides was quite fierce. Morris didn't disappoint Anjie, this guy really is the NBA's top interior defender. Even if An Jie is against him, it will be difficult.

Westbrook and Durant's attacks were as fierce as ever. The big battle between the two sides is about to break out, and no one wants to lose this big battle broadcast live in the United States.

Angel was under Morris's desperate defense, and his performance in the first quarter was slightly erratic. At 27-25, the Oklahoma City Thunder ended the first 12-minute game with a two-point lead.

Jeff Van Gundy was very excited when commentating on the game, and he couldn't have been prouder of watching his proud disciples on the field.

"That's Morris! That's why the league owes him an All-Star! It's ridiculous that a player as good as him didn't make the All-Star team last season!" Van Gundy's commentary was so sharp that fans were entertained.

An Jie didn't expect that he would be so deflated when he was fighting against Morris. Although Morris's statistics are not flashy, his skills on the defensive end are not reflected in the statistics. It can be said that Morris is an inside version of Tony Allen.

Don't look at this guy who can't score a few points in a game, but without him, the Thunder will definitely be greatly affected.

"That stinky boy really made the most of what he learned back then. Rickard couldn't help but complain, Morris guarded the best center in the league, and Rickard really didn't know whether to be happy or distressed.

"Ann, Maurice isn't one of those stupid big men who doesn't understand anything. You're going to have to use something a little more deceptive to get points on his head! As for Andre, defending Durant is not the same as defending LeBron. You can't let go of the shot, because Durant's best thing happens to be his shooting!" Ricard hurried to make arrangements off the court, and Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. Fortunately, it is not him who is fighting Van Gundy now.

After some arrangement, the Trail Blazers' offense improved in the second quarter. Especially Anjie, he used his superb footwork to trick Morris into hitting shots again and again.

Morris worked very hard and his defense was very good. But An Jie's arsenal is a little too rich.

No matter how Morris sums up the experience of failure, next time, Anjie will always be able to beat the Thunder's interior defensive backbone in a different way.

Just when An Jie was playing smoothly and was about to take over the game. Sergi Ibaka, a big Congolese man, stood up bravely.

Ibaka's defense left a deep impression on Anjie back then, and after seeing Morris's defense gradually collapse, Brooks arranged for Ibaka to be more active in the defense.

Although this will give Aldridge more open opportunities, locking Anjie is the key at the moment.

Brooks's adjustment was immediate, and in the face of the combination of two interior defensive gates, Anjie's offensive efficiency began to decline again. Fortunately, Aldridge seized those open opportunities, otherwise the Thunder would have continued to widen the lead.

The halftime game ended quickly, 59-48, and the Thunder, who had done almost flawless offense and defense, entered the second half with a double-digit lead in the Moda Center for the first time!

Trailing by double digits at halftime, this is also the largest halftime deficit for the Trail Blazers this season!

As Van Gundy said, the Oklahoma City Thunder can put Anjie to a huge test as long as they don't make mistakes.

Everyone predicted that the Trail Blazers' perfect start would end on the Thunder, and in the first half, the Thunder proved that they are capable of it.

Rickard and Anjie walked into the tunnel nervously, and the fans in the Moda Center were booing the Thunder.

Jeff Van Gundy wiped the sweat from his head, being a narrator was much more exciting than he imagined.

After yelling for a half, Van Gundy's voice was already a little hoarse. But this guy didn't slack off on his work, he became more excited than before.

Ricard and Anjie, Van Gundy are really too familiar. If these two will give up, then hell!

In the second half, the all-or-nothing Trail Blazers will definitely give it their all. When the time comes, the Trail Blazers and Thunder can dedicate a visual feast to fans!

"Drink more water and moisten your throat now, the second half will be more exciting, Mike. Van Gundy smiled kindly at his new partner, Mike Bryn. Let's hope Brooks, the guy who took over his whip, doesn't mess everything up......
