The wonderful performances of Anjie and George turned the tide of the game in an instant. Thunder bench forward Andre. Although Robertson was named to the All-Defensive Second Team last season, when he and George really went one-on-one, the gap between the two was very obvious.

Donovan must now replace Anthony to confront George and develop a tighter defensive strategy. And with Anthony, the Thunder's offense will also get back on track.

The coach who had just come from the college league to coach the NBA didn't expect that a person like Rickard, who likes to play team basketball, would suddenly use his star to attack the defense.

It's as incredible as Popovich suddenly letting Leonard control all the offensive ball one day.

Since he wants to use stars to dominate the game, Donovan will also take all the stars he has on hand to confront him. Donovan wants to see if Westbrook and Anthony have more scoring firepower, or if George and Anjie have a better cooperation!

After the timeout, Riccard saw Antony back in action. Not only can Anthony put George under more pressure on the defensive end, but he can also cause a lot of problems for George on the offensive end.

However, Ricard believes that the two players under his command have just played a series of wonderful combinations, and it is no accident.

The timeout ends and the game resumes. The Thunder, who trailed by two points, regrouped their offense with Westbrook's ball-handling push.

George obviously felt a completely different kind of pressure, and compared to Robertson, who was inactive on the offensive end, Anthony's movement undoubtedly made George feel very difficult.

Just as Anthony was about to get out of the three-point line, Adams suddenly appeared and completely blocked George's pursuit route!

Seeing this, Anjie did not continue to follow behind Adams, but directly changed his defense and pounced on Anthony. Anthony received a pass from Westbrook and planned to break through directly, but he didn't believe that a big center like Anjie could adjust his center of gravity and retreat in time when he was rushing forward to make up for the defense. The power of inertia alone was enough for An Jie to rush forward a few steps.

Thinking of this, Anthony immediately sped up. But he had just taken a step before he found himself and An Jie bumping into each other!

It is true that Anjie can't change his center of gravity in time, but when he opens his arms, the exaggerated defensive range is something Anthony didn't expect.

After being stopped by An Jie, Anthony did not give up and planned to continue to break through An Jie. He tried several times, but he couldn't fool the No. 00 center in front of him.

"We always knew that An's single defense ability on the outside was also very strong, but we definitely didn't expect it to be so strong! The other party is Cameron. Oh Anthony! Have you ever seen any interior line that can limit Anthony on the perimeter defense!? O'Neal stared at his huge eyes in surprise, Anjie's offensive range can cover the entire three-point line. And his defensive range seems to be greater than the offensive range!

In the end, Anthony finally deceived An Jie with a feint of worshipping Buddha and successfully broke through. But An Jie's timely reaction only allowed Anthony to surpass half a position.

Anthony insisted on making a layup by himself, but he didn't expect Anjie to be very close to him. This kind of distance is far from escaping from An Jie's defensive range.

Anthony had just started jumping when Anjie slapped the basketball away from behind. A neat chase risked so that the former "King of New York" had to return empty-handed!

This is Ann's third block in the game, and his single defense has made a top scorer like Anthony helpless. Ahn is a terrifying guy who can really defend from under the basket to beyond the three-point line and back from outside the three-point line. ”

In fact, the reason why Anthony was single-handedly defended by Anjie is not only because Anjie has super defensive ability. It is also because after Anthony's age and weight gain, his speed has long been much lower than before.

Anthony's first step was so fast that Anjie didn't have time to stop it. But his next few steps became slower and slower, and it was easy for An Jie to catch up and complete the block.

You know, even An Jie is 29 years old now. Anthony, this guy, is no longer the "little melon" who called for wind and rain during the Nuggets period.

The basketball that was blocked by An Jie was finally taken down by George, who was tall and had long arms. There is no doubt that George immediately controlled the ball and advanced after receiving the ball, without giving the Thunder any respite.

The Thunder are fast to return to defense, and the Trail Blazers are even faster to switch offense! George pushed forward without slowing down, and finally faced Jeramy, who was only 2.03 meters tall. Grant, George was directly strong, stretched his body in the air, and won the dunk from the other.

Angel's block and George's dunk tilted the balance of victory in this star battle in favor of the Trail Blazers.

The Thunder are back, and this time, the ball-handling offensive man has changed from Anthony to Westbrook.

While Westbrook still has an easy break through Napier, when he does, Iguodala is always ready to make up for it.

Seeing that someone stepped forward to make up for the defense, Westbrook did not hesitate and transferred the basketball to Oladipo. Oladipo hadn't caught the ball yet, but Napier had switched it again.

"The Trail Blazers have a very clear idea of changing defenses, they will never mess up, as long as Westbrook doesn't attack, the Thunder will never get a chance!"

Oladipo tried to break through Napier, but Napier, who had regained his confidence and was very positive, prevented Oladipo from losing his temper.

In the end, the basketball still fell to Westbrook. Once again, Westbrook wanted to score with a pull-up jumper, but the experienced Iguodala wasn't something Napier could match. This time, Westbrook's shot was badly interfered with by Iguodala, and the Thunder failed again.

After An Jie grabbed the rebound, he quickly launched a long pass in the backcourt, and just when everyone thought that George would turn on the singles mode again, he suddenly flicked his wrist and sent the offensive power to An Jie, who was coming later, with a hit pass.

Facing Adams with open arms, Anjie shook off the defense with an extremely exciting jump step and scored an easy layup.

Donovan started yelling on the sidelines, he didn't want to just watch the margin get wider. But as long as Anthony and Westbrook don't score for a moment, the pace of the game will be more and more firmly grasped by the Trail Blazers.

The same use of stars to impact the defense, Westbrook and Anthony are more of a simple one-man battle. And between Anjie and George, it is a good combination of team basketball and star singles.

That's why Anjie and George's offense is smoother, because their roles are always switched all the time.

The game went on for several minutes, and if Westbrook hadn't used his breakaway to create a couple of three-point opportunities for Anthony, the margin would have been in double digits.

But breaking through the ball is not the right way to cooperate, and Donovan knows that Westbrook and Anthony can't win just by breaking through the ball.

Before Donovan could figure out how to solve the problem, the second quarter had already passed more than halfway through. Now, it's time to put the second team on the pitch.

Anthony and Westbrook came out panting, they played very tired, but they didn't see much results. And when Westbrook and Anthony both went off the court, the Thunder's offense was even more of a mess.

For the Trail Blazers, they can also rely on Jokic and Evan on the bench. Turner's two points are a few points. But on the Thunder's side, the offense is really miserable.

Oladipo hit the iron continuously, and the Thunder substituted power forward Ty. Gibson was very awkwardly confined to the table. Jerami. Grant? This guy was once named "the worst outside pitcher" by ESPN. Expect him to score for the Thunder than to expect Oladipo to be resurrected.

Thanks to the efforts of Anjie and George and the Trail Blazers' second team, the Thunder, who still led by five points at the end of the first quarter. By halftime, it was 10 points behind!

46-56, Anthony and Westbrook were both sullen by the score.

They walked briskly into the locker room, hoping to find a solution to the problem sooner. Moda Center is really not a good place!

When scorers like Westbrook and Anthony were struggling at the Moda Center, Donovan knew he was going to have a tough time in this series......

How to play in the second half? It was a real headache for Donovan.
