Chapter 445: Let go of your hands and feet, rookie boy

The first few days of the new NBA season are always a few days of exciting matchups. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to attract the public's attention as soon as possible, NBA officials will always arrange some gimmicky matchups in the first few days of the new season, such as the Celtics and Heat in the opening game, such as the wonderful Lakers vs. Trail Blazers, and now, the "Reimama War" that is being staged at the ATT Center.

As the two giants in the West, it has to be said that it is a pity that the two teams did not meet in the playoffs last season. But Stern wasn't going to pass up that opportunity, and no, as soon as the season began, this fantastic matchup was on the agenda.

The whole game was very tight, with both sides alternating leads until the last ten seconds of the game, and there was no winner.

The Spurs are playing as calm as ever, but on the Thunder side, Westbrook, who has entered the league for five seasons like Anjie, is still making the mistake of his inconsistent shooting percentage.

With 6-of-21 shooting from the field and just 28 percent, Westbrook's performance made him look no different from his rookie season. If Durant hadn't gotten used to this kind of thing, he might have been angry about it.

Because of this, the Spurs now have the opportunity to dominate the final attack of the game.

In the final 15 seconds, it was the Thunder who were in control of the ball. However, Westbrook, who was in really bad form tonight, made a bad pass. Parker struggled to save the ball, and he immediately called a timeout as he controlled the ball. In this way, the ball was transferred to the Spurs, and the score between the two sides was tied at 86.

After the pause came back, Tony. Parker was treated to a grand reception by Westbrook on the outside. But Parker didn't let the basketball stay in his hands for long, and he hit the ground and passed, allowing Duncan to lean on Morris to get the basketball.

Morris's muscles all over his body were tightened, don't look at Duncan, this guy is always tepid when he plays, but his danger factor has never decreased. Duncan really took a step inside, Morris didn't dare to foul, and now the two sides are tied, even a free throw can change the outcome of the game.

But to Morris's surprise, Duncan took a step inside and then passed the ball again. Spurs three-point shooter Danny. Green was making an open spot at the moment, and the young guard jumped to shoot when he received the ball, but Durant's long arm was in the driver's seat at the moment. KD's arms will be Danny. Green was completely covered, and even if Green completed the shot, it was a shot made with great interference.

Seeing that the basketball was about to shoot, Morris was ready to fight for rebounds. That's it! Danny who is still in the air. Green suddenly flicked his wrist and turned into a pass! The basketball flew past Durant's fingertips and into the three-point line.

"It's Parker! Tony. Parker appeared in the middle distance position on the wing! "Reggie. Miller shouted excitedly, pushing the tension to a climax.

Because the ball was passed very suddenly, Westbrook naturally failed to follow Parker. After Parker received the ball, Westbrook arrived "belatedly", but his defense was no longer meaningful.

"Brush!" The basket sounded death, the ball went in, and the watch stopped. Westbrook quickly looked at the referee, but the referee made a gesture to score effectively!

"Yay!" Tony. Parker calmly shook his fist on the spot, but the excitement of the lore just now was by no means as bland as Parker had shown. If nothing else, that attack has already booked the top spot of the month's top 10 balls.

Durant patted Westbrook on the shoulder, but said nothing. Everyone on the Thunder team was frustrated, and being defeated in the way of a lore was the most aggrieved.

"It seems that Westbrook has not been in good form recently, and in the game the day after tomorrow, we can keep an eye on Durant and let Westbrook make more shots." Rickard and Divac stared at the TV, judging Westerbrook's performance.

"No, Westbrook is the kind of player who can be easily swayed by emotions. Most of the responsibility for losing today is on him, so in the next game, he will prove himself like crazy. Divac vetoed Ricard's proposal, and it seemed more accurate to call him a tactical adviser despite being nominally an assistant coach.

"Uh-huh......" Rickard nodded thoughtfully, holding his chin.

On the wall behind these two men, there is a large schedule pasted on it, which is densely packed with the schedule of the Trail Blazers this season.

On the 2nd of November, there is a red circle marked on it. On that day, the Trail Blazers had a game, and their opponent in that game was the Oklahoma City Thunder, who had just lost to the Spurs but knocked them out of the playoffs last season!

That's right, David. Stern just likes to have these kinds of exciting matchups early in the season......

....................

Since winning the Lakers, the Trail Blazers have become the darlings of the media. In the past, An Jie could go home calmly after training, but now, An Jie always meets several reporters every day to interview him after training.

Speaking of the training in the past few days, An Jie feels full of freshness. Divac's arrival has really brought something different to Anjie, and he has been emphasizing the connection between Anjie and Lillard in training in recent days. These two guys who worked together for the first time also became the pair who have been training together for the longest time.

Both guys are passers, and the direct connection between the number one and number five positions will be able to play a lot of variety on the offensive end. Divac didn't forget to have a few simple but effective collaborations with Angel and Lillard against the Lakers, and if you continue to dig into this, you will surely gain even more.

There's no doubt that Divac wants to groom AnJie and Lillard to be who they were and Jason "White Chocolate" is back then. Williams. While these two certainly can't reach the heights of Divac and Williams in terms of passing spectacle, they can do better than the two Kings "old boys" in terms of practicality.

So when they were in training against each other, Divac and Rickard would deliberately let Lillard and Anjerdo work together, and a few of them did play well, but more often than not, the two still lacked some tacit understanding.

"It's going to be okay, these two guys are working together for the first year." Divac watched Lillard's pass to Anjie make another mistake, and instead of being annoyed, he was relieved. It's better to make mistakes in training than in games.

"They all say that Damien's ceiling is almost at the top, but I think there's still a lot of room for that kid to grow. To be honest, if it weren't for Ann, the Trail Blazers wouldn't have picked Lillard at all. I hope that this kid's vision can be as good as his ball skills. ”

"Hey, have you forgotten that it was under our correct guidance that Ann made rapid progress back then? When you first found him on the field, he didn't even have the ability to play in the NCAA. But the result? He led the team to the round of 16 of March Madness! It's the same with Lillard, whether Ann's vision is good or not depends on the quality of our training. "Divac believes in talent, but he believes in sweat even more.

Lillard's style of play has made him destined to be a pivotal role within the Trail Blazers, an ambitious and aggressive guard who can't be willing to be a guy who just plays offense. Since this is the case, it is better to train him well and make him a capable thug by An Jie's side!

Here in Portland, the Trail Blazers are preparing with great fanfare. And in Oklahoma, the atmosphere is just as tense.

Westbrook's aggressiveness on the training ground made Jeff Brown. Van Gundy secretly pinched his sweat. He feared that Westbrook would push too hard and get injured in training.

After Fischer left, the Thunder were very nervous at the point guard position. Now, only second-year rookie Reggie . Jackson was able to grudgingly replace the void left by Fischer. But this skinny guy with not enough experience can only be bullied by Westbrook on the training ground.

Although the Thunder successfully broke out of the West last season, they lost in the Finals, but the ending was no different from An Jie's. The NBA is sometimes more brutal than football, and there is only one championship in the league every year, unlike in the world of football, where a team has several games to participate in and several championships to compete for.

Among the 30 teams, even if there are only seven or eight strong teams, the competition is very cruel. The Thunder were the best of the best teams last season and almost touched the O'Brien Cup, and this year, they don't want to let that Gold Cup slip away from their eyes.

This time he is about to reunite with Anjie, and Westbrook has a little less in his heart, but a little more desire to fight.

Five years on, the three young boys have become the mainstay of this league, and they have become accustomed to the people in the team. After competing in the playoffs a few months ago, Westbrook and Durant and others are even more accustomed to Anjie as their opponents.

In their last game against the Spurs, Westbrook had to pay for the team's defeat. However, as Divac said, he will not be depressed, but will become more bloodthirsty because of it.

This guy doesn't want to lose two in a row, this guy doesn't want to be questioned by the outside world, this guy doesn't want to lose to Anjie, he doesn't want to lose to a team that he has beaten in the playoffs......

...................

Early in the morning, the Trail Blazers boarded the plane. At this time, some members of the team were still sleepy-eyed. For example, Divac's old and unserious guy gives people the feeling that he hasn't woken up yet.

"Hey, man. Your opponent tonight is not easy to mess with. Anjie took the initiative to sit down in Damien. Lillard was next to him and chatted with the guy who had been trained by the coaching staff.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll feed the ball to you safely." Lillard smiled shyly, but Angel knew that this wasn't the real Damion. Lillard.

"What are you afraid of? Damien? "Anjie knows Westbrook, who lost the last game and will definitely have a tough time today. If Lillard still suppressed himself, he couldn't deal with him.

"Huh?" Lillard was confused.

"I've seen footage of you in college, and I've played against you during tryouts. I know what kind of person you are, Damien, and I know what your heart desires. Anjie said, gesturing to Lillard's chest.

"Don't worry, let go of the fight. You don't have to think about me and LaMarcus, you don't have to pass for the sake of passing. That doesn't mean you can mess around as you please, but you don't have to hold back your own hands and feet. To beat Westbrook, you have to be yourself. Let go of your hands and feet and Damien! Do what you're good at! "An Jie doesn't need a well-behaved boy, he likes Lillard precisely because of the wildness in his heart! For a guy like Westbrook, you have to be more ruthless to match him.

After An Jie finished speaking, he patted Lillard on the shoulder and turned to leave. He still likes to sit with Aldridge, which is already a habit of the two of them every time they play an away flight.

"What did you say to him?" Aldridge asked curiously.

"Nothing, I was just trying to unleash a beast. An outside beast that might make that Westbrook guy jealous! Angel's trademark smirk made Aldridge feel completely reassured......
