Xu, you're so uninteresting, I sent you so many messages and you didn't reply to me. ”

As soon as they met, Wei Shao hugged Xu Xuan very enthusiastically: "Yes, it's much stronger now than last season!" ”

Wei Shao patted Xu Xuan's chest and muscles, and the folds on his face were full of laughter.

"Light, Russell." Xu Xuan punched him with a smile: "Don't think you praise me, I'll let you later, be careful, Russell, be careful of being blown up by me today!" ”

Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, Wei Shao didn't care about Xu Xuan's mouth, and shook his head: "Then you have to come on, and then take an 82 and say that it will up, even if you blow up Michael, it's no problem at all." ”

The two of them talked and laughed and seemed to be very harmonious.

Wei Shao has always had a good relationship with Xu Xuan, but Durant is not with Xu Xuan, standing alone, like a lone wolf.

What do you say about Durant, he looks very cold and tsundere from the outside, but in fact, he peels off his skin and takes a look, this is a sullen dick.

In his heart, he wished that others would praise him and take the initiative to talk to him, but on the surface, he looked like "don't come here, I will call if you come again...... This kind of character is really difficult for people to get close to, and Xu Xuan is unwilling to deal with him.

The Chesapeake Energy Arena at Christmas Day was very festive, with lots of Christmas trees inside and outside the arena, and many staff members dressed in Santa Claus clothes handing out small gifts at random.

It was TNT's national broadcast, and an hour before the game, Barkley, Kenny Smith and O'Neal were already sitting in the studio.

The three of them are doing a pre-match analysis.

The problem with the Thunder is that the decline in talent on their roster is so fast, compared to the 2012 Finals team, the Thunder's actual decline in talent has been overshadowed by the crazy second less team this season.

Ibaka's ability on the defensive end is declining vertically, which is the worst news for the Thunder, but no one can ignore a season double-double with 28.1 points + 5 assists + 8 rebounds and 50% shooting percentage plus a season double-double with an average of 23.6 points + 7.8 rebounds + 10.4 assists per game, the Thunder still keep the team averaging 110.4 points per game (second in the league), and with rebounders like Kanter, Adams and Ibaka, the Thunder average 48.4 rebounds per game to lead the league.

The Thunder vs. Pacers battle is more of a battle of talent.

During the warm-up, the OKC fans on the sidelines were hooked.

Because in the past, there were all kinds of violent deductions for one person, and today, there are two......

When Xu Xuan was warming up, he couldn't stop all kinds of violent deductions.

"Wow, look at the left, this one on the left is amazing, rotate 180° one-handed buckle!"

"The one on the right is also very exciting, the free throw line jumps in one step, and the big whirlwind dunks!"

"Both of these guys should go to the slam dunk contest, Mage, it's a shame that this talent doesn't go to the dunk contest."

Seeing Xu Xuan and Wei Shaokou in such a hot spot, even the pickled peppers went up to show off a big windmill.

Before the injury, the pickled pepper was a variety of flying dunks, and the existence of often scoring five best balls was not a problem, and a small dunk was naturally not a problem.

Beep!

The referee began to clear the field.

Just when the players on both sides gathered around the center circle and were about to start the game, the close-ups of the broadcast screen were also given to the protagonists of the two teams tonight: Pickled Pepper + Xu Xuan and Wei Shao + Durant.

As the referee tosses the ball high into the air, the game begins......

The Thunder started with a five-man team, Westbrook, Robertson, Durant, Ibaka and Adams.

The Pacers started with a five-man team, Xu Xuan, CJ Myers, Paul George, PJ Tucker and McGee.

Adams jumped the ball in the middle circle to win McGee.

The Thunder's first offense.

Wei Shao came over with the ball on the left side and observed the situation on the field.

Durant pulled straight to the right 45-degree angle after blocking Ibaka at the three-point line.

Wei Shao looked at Xu Xuan in front of him, he didn't choose to do it, and with a flick of his hand, the ball was in Durant's hand.

Durant singled PJ Tucker, suddenly dry!

"This shot is highly ...... It's just outrageous! ”

Even Xu Xuan was dumbfounded, Tucker's height is indeed a bit insufficient to play power forward, but Durant is too tall, right?

"What the hell did you tell me this is two meters and six? Are you sure it's not two meters and one six? ”

Looking at this desperate height, Tucker had a sentence in his heart that MMP didn't know whether to talk about it or not.

Hmmm-

Durant hits a three-pointer!

Tucker's distractions didn't work as they should!

"The Thunder took the lead, and it looks like Kevin is having a good hand today." Kenny Smith Dow.

The Pacers baseline ball is out.

Thunder fans chanted in unison, led by a live DJ, "Defene——!! ”

Today's Chesapeake Energy Arena is really full of momentum!

The Pacers' first attack, McGee mentioned the high post to cover Xu Xuan.

Is it to block and dismantle?

Wei Shao gave "Aquaman" Adams a straight look.

The current "Aquaman" has not yet successfully transformed, and he is only a third-year player who has just emerged.

However, his body is very strong, and he is not slow under his feet.

McGee was stuck in the position, and he couldn't block and dismantle, Xu Xuan directly pulled away and prepared to fight alone!

Wei Shao slammed his palm on the ground, bent down and sank, and roared angrily.

"Come on, boy, let's fight it out!"

He was a well-known outside defensive slug in college, and in his sophomore year, he was named to the Pacific 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and was named to the Third Team of the Pacific 10 Conference and the All-Defensive Team in the league.

However, since coming to the NBA, Wei Shao's defense has been criticized.

When he defends, he often has a scene where he is easily thrown away by his opponent, which means that he is easily distracted.

But this time, Wei Shao was extra serious.

Knock, knock, knock, Xu Xuan's body and head began to sway rhythmically, and after he saw Wei Shao moving sideways to the left, he suddenly pulled the ball and struck the other side!

Freshly baked platinum-level flower-wearing butterfly steps!

It's over!

In an instant confrontation like a killer's gun, Xu Xuan's understanding of Wei Shao can be said to be well-known, but judging from the situation of today's game, the Pacers had better fight quickly!

After shaking Wei Shao, Xu Xuan burst into the interior of the Thunder team in one go, and at the same time attracted the Thunder Bulls' starting power forward Ibaka's supplementary defense.

Ibaka yelled and rushed towards Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan was unmoved, stopped his steps and wrapped the basketball behind him, and shook his right wrist at the same time!

PJ Tucker followed up with a catch-and-basket to score the Pacers' first two points tonight.

To put it mildly, the Thunder's defense was cracked by Xu Xuan.

Elegant!

Smart!

This Thunder's defense is actually average, and at first glance the single defense ability is good, but in fact, whether it is the overall joint defense or the regional joint defense, it is scum.

2 to 3.

When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Wei Shao's ass was like a rocket, and he went straight to the front court with a smoke.

Pass, or leave it to Durant to attack.

When the relationship between the two has not broken down, Wei Shao is still willing to pass the ball to Durant.

Du Lao Er opened two consecutive attacks.

2 to 5!

It was a high pull-up jumper.

Durant has no other tricks, blinking his eyes, pulling it up and throwing it.

It doesn't matter who is standing in front of you, if you can prevent it.

Tucker: "I can guard against a Jill!" ”

In the front court, Xu Xuan came over with the ball, Pickled Pepper pulled it out to respond, and after Xu Xuan blocked it with McGee, the ball was passed back to Pickled Pepper.

Pickled pepper three-point shot!

Durant patronized Xu Xuan's side and neglected the pickled pepper side.

Bang Dang!

But the almost empty three-pointer didn't go in, and Ibaka flew up to close the rebound.

The Thunder team directly played a defensive counterattack, and Wei Shao went to the frontcourt for a fast-break dunk in three seconds.

Like defense, the Thunder's offense doesn't have any specific tactics.

Just four words: a few blind fights!

The Thunder is a point that takes the tactic of blind play to the extreme.

2 to 7!

The Thunder opened with a five-point lead!

"The Thunder team is in good shape, but until now, Xu Xuan still has no intention of making a move."

After more than six minutes in the first quarter, the Thunder had scored 19 points, while the Pacers had only nine.

"Xu Xuan needs to step up and score, the Pacers shouldn't want to see a 20-point difference at halftime, and the fans won't want to see a one-sided game!"

on the field.

Durant switched to Xu Xuan this time.

Xu Xuan dribbled and crossed, changed the rhythm, and changed the direction of the body in front of the body significantly.

Perfect crossover!

Directly shook Durant's center of gravity.

One step over.

After Xu Xuan broke through Durant, he didn't stop.

He got to the free-throw line and faced Adams, who was coming from the defense.

Let's change direction in front of a small body.

Take an easy step from the left.

Adams staggered by Xu Xuan's realistic feints and took two steps back.

At this point, the Thunder's interior no longer has any defenders.

Xu Xuan licked the basket lightly and collected two points.

This series of dribbles is fancy.

Durant glanced at Xu Xuan with a slanted eye, why are you acting so fancy?

Obviously, the outside line is a hands-on thing, you look tired.

"Durant's signature move, dry three-pointer! It's in again! This is Durant's second three-pointer of the game! ”

Durant, who scored a goal in the blink of an eye, became even more arrogant, his lips pursed slightly, but his eyes kept scanning Xu Xuan, hoping to see a little different look on his face.

But he was disappointed.

Xu Xuan didn't have any expression at all, turned around, faced Wei Shao's defense, feint a tap, shook off Wei Shao who pounced, pulled it up and leaned back directly-

Swish!

Return one!

"Xu Xuan finally started shooting! Three-point start! Signature step-back jumper! ”

Kobe Bryant's second?

The heir to the Black Mamba?

Scold!

Durant chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and the front court pulled out again-

Long two points to score!

“wow！ Kevin's hand feels great today! He's got 12 points! ”

"The Thunder opened the game and showed us what offense is! Compared to the Warriors, this Thunder's offense is even more desperate! ”

Durant is a completely different offensive player from Curry and Xu Xuan.

Durant indulges in high-post pull-up jumpers, and while his three-point shot is just as sharp, the two-point shot is his primary offensive tool.

And Curry and Xu Xuan ...... Three points less to the dead!

Xu Xuan was also surprised that Du Lao Er had such a strong desire to attack today, and he had scored 12 points before the quarter was finished.

The Thunder fans on the sidelines saw that the star of the house performed so well, and they stood up and cheered for Durant.

The game continues.

Xu Xuan said hello to Pickled Pepper.

Today's pickled pepper didn't feel very good, hitting only one of the six outside shots in the opening game, which was the main reason why the Pacers fell behind by 10 points at the beginning.

Pickled pepper nodded, he understood what Xu Xuan meant, this was Xu Xuan's gesture to take over the game.

Pickled pepper didn't care very much, since he returned from injury, he was more about playing without the ball and defending, and the ball was basically taken over by Xu Xuan.

"Xu Xuan is signaling his teammates to open up space for him, Xu Xuan is going to attack the rhythm by himself!"

Frontcourt!

The Pacers slipped away, leaving Xu Xuan alone to stand on the three-point line at the top of the arc and hold the ball.

"Thunder is pinching! But Wei Shao didn't seem to be satisfied, did he want to have a 1V1 real man battle with Xu Xuan on the road? ”

Robertson was also helpless about Wei Shao's dissatisfaction.

Originally, under the arrangement of head coach Donovance, he should be the one who defended Xu Xuan, but Wei Shao disagreed and insisted on facing Xu Xuan.

As Donovan, who just joined the NBA this season, Wei Shao's strength still caught him off guard.

However, he also knows that the NBA and the NCAA are two different places, and he is the only one who speaks in the NCAA, and he must learn to adapt to the star culture here when he arrives in the NBA, otherwise it will not be Wei Shao who will leave in the end.

"Thunder's flanking attack is very decisive!"

"Xu Xuan's shot space is blocked!"

Durant glanced lightly at the side, and the shot space was blocked?

Why didn't he see that the shot space was blocked?

If the ball were to be dealt with by him, he would have thrown it in without much effort.

The height of the brother needs you to look up!

Xu Xuan doesn't have a super perverted talent like Durant, but he also has his own methods!

"Xu Xuan dribbled! Oops hey! It's not a good choice."

Wei Shao not to mention, this Robertson of the Thunder team is a good crotch picker, isn't Xu Xuan's initiative to dribble a dish sent to the door?

"Good chance!"

Robertson naturally discovered this, and he instantly perked up and wanted to intercept it, but Wei Shao next to him suddenly took a step faster and said, "Andre, let me come!" ”

Well?

Let you come?

Are you here?

It's not that he doesn't believe in Wei Shao's defense, but he's a big horse, and he may forget what he just happened when he talks about it.

However, Wei Shao has always said the same, Robertson only hesitated for a second and put his hand back, forget it, let you let you.

"Xu, I took this ball!"

Wei Shao was naturally excited, and when he took a step forward, he was about to cut Xu Xuan off the horse.

However, at this moment, Xu Xuan's body suddenly moved, and the ball under his hand instantly pulled back, and then pierced through Wei Shao and Robertson's sandwich from an unbelievable angle!
