After a comfortable win over the Timberwolves, the Thunder returned to Oklahoma, and after a day of repairs, they welcomed a special opponent, Turkey's Fenerbahçe, on October 10.

It's also a way for the NBA to expand its international reach, play overseas, or invite overseas teams to the U.S. to play preseason games. There is also the practice of arranging the regular season game venue abroad, etc., all in order to attract more fans.

This kind of practice can be traced back to the 70s in Washington, as a representative of the capital team, the bullets were also a championship-level team in the NBA at that time, visited Europe, and also played against the Chinese men's basketball team.

It was 1979, and as the championship of the season, the Bullets team came to Beijing and played a friendly match against the Chinese national team.

At that time, China's main center was still Mu Tiezhu.

Fenerbahce is Turkey's top basketball powerhouse, but it is a bit far from the Thunder.

The Thunder also have a Turkish player in the team, and that is N'Golo Kante.

Kanter is also a master who dares to speak, when he was in the Jazz team, he met the Lakers and Li Liang had a conflict.

On weekdays, he also speaks out on Twitter, and he has always looked down on Li Liang very much.

Because the relationship between China and Turkey is not good.

But when Li Liang came to the Thunder, Kanter was intimidated.

On the day of the transaction, he reposted the news of the transaction, and also liked Wei Dazhi's Twitter and INS in various ways.

Usually he is very respectful to Li Liang in the team, and he was scolded by Li Liang a lot because of his poor defense during training.

After all, the most important role of the mouth is to eat, and you don't want to lose your job if you beep a few words.

Because it was the first time that the new Thunder made their home debut, it was a crowd on the day of the game, and the scene was no different from the regular season.

It's not like Los Angeles, where you can change multiple venues in the preseason, and few people watch it.

Li Liang appeared in front of the home fans for the first time, of course, he couldn't just play soy sauce.

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, he cooperated with Westbrook and hit three three-pointers in a row by blocking and dismantling the outside cut!

Let the Turkish team see what the NBA's highest power is.

Every time Li Liang scored three points, the audience cheered wildly.

Then Durant couldn't help it, and he also dried out on the outside with the ball, hitting a three-pointer.

As a result, there were no waves at the scene......

RNM！

In Durant's heart, fans like the new and hate the old, why don't you shout when I score three points?

Get rid of it, Li Liang opened with three points, and he scored three in a row.

You're halfway through the first quarter, you're leading by more than a dozen points, what's so exciting about you scoring a three-pointer?

Fenerbahce resisted for almost half a quarter, and then found that he couldn't beat it at all, he really couldn't beat it at all.

Thunder didn't fight to the death, and Li Liang entered the health mode again after performing his stunts.

Donovan also gave Li Liang 20 minutes of playing time in one game, so that he could adjust his own state, and more importantly, have a good attitude.

Although Li Liang is only in his fourth season this year, he is 26 years old, and he is very young, but Mike Brown still believes that Li Liang should be protected.

Brown's theory also has some truth, because although Li Liang has only played three seasons, he has reached the finals every season, and the total number of games is very high.

And in addition to the ban, Li Liang has never missed a game, the attendance rate is quite high, and the wear and tear on the body is of course large.

Li Liang himself was happy to accept such an arrangement.

Although there are various protective gears for protection, Li Liang knows that there is still wear and tear in the body.

The props only avoid accidental damage from external forces, but the wear and tear accumulated by the body itself during exercise will still affect the muscles, bones and soft tissues, so it is still necessary to cultivate it.

Good steel is used on the cutting edge.

125:87, another big victory, beating the Turks all over their heads, and they don't know what they are participating in such a tournament for?

In order to prove how far apart is there between your basketball level and the world's top?

In the following period, the Thunder won against the Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz and other teams one after another.

In every game, the Thunder are big wins over their opponents.

In addition to the overall strength of the Thunder, the most important reason is that Durant is really fighting!

In these games, Durant has scored more than 20 points per game, and his playing time is not much more than Li Liang, but he has made a lot of shots.

Li Liang is more creating opportunities for his teammates, and Durant throws his head by himself anyway, and he wants to prove to people that he is better than Li Liang in scoring.

This guy is also simple, what are you doing in the preseason?

Does it make sense?

The more Durant is like this, the more his teammates think it's naïve.

In the Thunder over the years, Durant is a well-deserved number one.

But if you want to say that he is the boss, it is really hard to say, he always lacks a little bit of leadership temperament.

Maybe it has something to do with appearance? I always feel like a thug.

Li Liang, of course, didn't care, and continued to enjoy the feeling of being in the center of the Oklahoma spotlight.

It's all drizzle, and the amount of media is incomparable to that of Los Angeles.

By late October, the preseason was drawing to a close and the regular season was finally about to begin.

Li Liang finally completed the task of Thorpe in the mission, and improved his physical condition and ability to card to a level that he was satisfied with.

Li Liang feels that with his current position, it is no problem to get 10 rebounds in a game.

reached an average of 10 rebounds per game, so that Li Liang could feel that he was a qualified insider.

Of course, Li Liang may not know that the better you are in the position, the less you may be able to get the rebound.

It took Li Liang a long time to comprehend this truth, and it was also the most difficult basketball philosophy he understood.

……

On October 27, 2015, the new NBA season finally kicked off.

Three games are scheduled for the first day, one against the Pelicans, one against the Pacers and one against the Spurs, and one against the Thunder.

The NBA also gives enough gimmicks in the schedule.

The Warriors and Pacers were the two teams that competed in last season's Finals, with the Pacers, the defending champions, having a championship ring presentation ceremony in their opening game — and Li Liang was unsurprisingly absent again.

He is also a man of God, forever absent from the team's ring ceremony, and then waiting for him to be reissued separately later.

Needless to say, the Thunder went to the Pacers to play an away game, and this thing was going to enjoy the applause of the audience again.

The Warriors and Pelicans met in the first round of the playoffs last season, although the score was 4:0, but the process was still very passionate, especially the super reversal, so the first game of the league was also scheduled for the two teams.

As for the Thunder and Spurs, it goes without saying that the Thunder have become the biggest favorites to win the league championship.

It's because they have Li Liang.

And the Spurs robbed Ade in the free agency market in the summer, got Booker in the draft, and got Wiggins in the trade market.

It can be said that after losing Leonard, it gives a person a feeling that not only did not lose, but earned blood.

In particular, Wiggins and Booker, two young people, performed quite eye-catching in the preseason.

Ade, on the other hand, is at the peak of his career, and judging by his style of play, he can maintain his form for several more years.

Duncan, Ginobili and Parker are still on the team, and it will be interesting to see what kind of chemistry the new Spurs will have.
