Chapter Forty-Seven: A Shadow on the Sidelines
After all, the Thunder are the 4th strongest team in the West, and the Kings responded immediately after scoring.
Westbrook quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, and in the face of Tyreco's defense, Westbrook directly made a force with his legs and forced Tyrek in the front. Tyreco's physical condition was there, and in the face of Westbrook, who did not fully rush up, Tyreco's proud arm span directly locked Westbrook. Westbrook saw that he couldn't get in, and he swept to Durant, who was in position on the wing, and made another cross-step, then made a shooting feint, and then distributed the ball to Durant.
After Durant received the ball, he pulled out his hand directly outside the three-point line, and Garcia, who was opposite him, tried his best and jumped up to block, but Durant's height and arm span were really unreasonable, and Garcia couldn't block his shot point at all, but Garcia still tried his best to interfere with Durant's shot.
In the face of Garcia's interference, the ball drew a perfect arc in the air, "Whew! "Hollow into the net!
"Strong, too strong! Durant is just too strong! This ball is completely unreasonable! Durant's goal made Napier shake his head and sigh.
"Well, Grant, he's not even 23 years old! This season is very likely to win the scoring title again after last season! A true Uranus, he is already shining infinitely in the league! This ball Francisco has been well defended, and it can be said that no matter who it is replaced, it will be defended to this extent at most. This ball is indeed unstoppable, such a tall and arm span can still have such a soft shooting feel, it is really a natural scoring machine......"
After Durant threw in the Thunder's first shot of the game, the Thunder quickly got into an offensive rhythm. Durant had a great hand today, and all kinds of unreasonable shots made the Kings unguardable. At the same time, Durant, who shot away, also freed up the second-in-command Westbrook, and Durant attracted the defense and created space for Westbrook to enter the interior. Westbrook, who has an extremely hot style of play, relies on the physical fitness of almost perverted on the back line, and basically no one can stop it once the impact comes. With both scoring points open, the Thunder's offensive ability is almost incomprehensible, and both Durant and Westbrook can easily attract defense, and the Thunder are full of opportunities on the court.
The Thunder on the defensive end are not good at stubble, Durant and Westbrook are already very good defensively, and Seforosa, Ibaka, and Perkins in the team are all extremely good defensive giants. Whether inside or outside, the Thunder can hinder the opponent's offense with extremely tough defense.
The Thunder, who dominated both ends of the floor, quickly pulled the score away and took a double-digit lead. The Kings, who had fallen into passivity early, needed someone to step up, and the first to stand up was not the star Tyrek. Evans, nor is this season's super-rookie DeMarcus. Cousins, but Marcus. Thornton!
Marcus. Thornton was on the bench again after Tyrek returned to the starting lineup, but he still played a consistent amount of minutes every game and was the Sacramento Kings' deserved sixth man. After coming to the Sacramento Kings this season, he appeared in 26 games, averaging 18.3 points in 29.3 minutes per game. Although Thorton's shooting is inconsistent and his style of play is extremely dominant, once the touch comes, he is the nerve knife of the Kings!
After replacing Udri today, Thorton quickly got into the groove, and because the Thunder's outside defensive sharpener Seforosa was assigned to defend Tyreck, Thorton mainly faced the defense from Westbrook. Although Westbrook's defensive ability is not bad, there is still a gap compared to Seforozha, and Westbrook's size is not small in the guard position, but it is not comparable to Seforosa's height and arms. Thorton has the nickname "Bucket", he relied on his strong size to shoot frequently under Westbrook's defense, and his hand was also very hot today, and for a while, the difference between the two teams was not only not widened, but also slightly narrowed.
At the end of the first quarter, the Sacramento Kings trailed the Oklahoma City Thunder by eight points at 24-32.
At the break, Coach Westphale clapped his hands and shouted at the players, "Hey, hey, hey! All of them! All let go of the fight! Use all your strength, and finally the second regular season game is over, which is to fight! Durant and Westbrook are strong, and you are not bad! They all cheered up, and in the second quarter, their second lineup came up and we beat the difference back! ”
Just as Coach Westafar was impassionedly cheering up the players, when Tyrek, who was sitting on the bench, raised his head to drink water to replenish his water, he swept to the first row of spectators next to the stadium, and was suddenly stunned, then threw down the kettle and stared at the spectators with wide eyes!
A middle-aged man wearing a black shirt and beige slacks sat on the sidelines, his hair was a little gray, his appearance was elegant and energetic, he looked confident and atmospheric, and his body naturally exuded a powerful aura.
Tyrek recognized the middle-aged man, Vivek. Rana Dave! In his own memory, the King of Sacramento will change hands to him in 2013! He just became a minority shareholder of the Golden State Warriors last year, how did he come to the Sleep Train Arena to watch the game? Is he just here to watch the game, or is he already thinking about buying the Sacramento Kings?
Tyrek has a lot of thoughts in his heart, after all, his memories can only be used as a reference now, and many things have changed because of his own reasons. It's not impossible for Ranadave to buy the Sacramento King early, but it doesn't have much to do with his current self. When seeing Vivek. Ranadave was talking to someone on the sidelines, Tyrek's eyes widened again.
A beautiful woman wearing a white shirt, a short black skirt, and a small pale yellow leather coat sat next to the Indian software tycoon and talked and laughed with him. Her long hair fluttering, her smile and her youthful vitality overshadowed everyone's delicate countenance. Vivek. A large part of Rana Dave's love of investing in NBA teams is because of her, Vivek. The pearl of Rana Dave's palm, 19-year-old Angela. Rana Dave!
"Hey, Tyreck, you're on the field, what's the ...... you are stunned"
Tyrek was slapped on the back, and he was a spirit, and it turned out to be Cosby.
"Oh...... Oh...... It's on the court, it's on the court, we're going to beat the Thunder in this section! Tyrek said as he stood up, glancing in Angeli's direction. Strange to say, Tyrek suddenly felt a throbbing inside him, and felt an urge to show himself well on the field......
