The Thunder's starting point guard is Kidd, a position that is not surprising, Kidd was originally a starter, but he just swayed from shooting guard to point guard.

Partnering Kidd in the backcourt is Soflosa, the Thunder's starting guard for the past few years who returned to the starting role after Harden's absence.

The small forward position is Middleton, who has performed well before.

However, the power forward was very surprising, neither the veteran Collison nor the rookie O'Quinn, but directly let PJ Tucker go up.

There was no suspense in the center position, with Brown taking the start.

The starting five Tigers came out, and the remaining four substitutes were Livingston and Bazemore on the outside, and Collison and O'Quinn on the inside.

This lineup, except for Kidd, is either a rookie or an ordinary role player, and some have not appeared in the NBA, which is really a bit shabby.

"Unless Kidd goes back to 10 years ago, I can't really find a reason for this Thunder team to win." The on-site narrator couldn't help but say.

"Ten years ago, Kidd couldn't have led a team like this to win games, could he?" The commentator asked rhetorically.

"Haha, it seems, the Grizzlies aren't paper-mâché, and if they can all lose a game like this, I think they can consider rebuilding." The narrator couldn't help but laugh and said.

As they spoke, the starters from both sides were already on the pitch.

Brown and Gasol's jump shot, Gasol used his long arm to flick the ball back into the Grizzlies half, and the home team had the opportunity to attack first.

Conley took the ball to the front court and handed it directly to Randolph in the low post.

The Thunder's lineup, Tucker, a mini small forward, is obviously the biggest breakthrough.

Randolph got the ball and chiseled it with his back to Tucker.

Soflosa tightened the defense for the first time.

When Randolph saw this, he used all his strength to get in before Sofrosa could help defend him.

"Bang!"

Randolph had excellent strength, and the impact was full of force, but to his surprise, Tucker behind him was not knocked away as he imagined, but only took a small half step back after being hit.

This short front line is much stronger than expected!

Unbelieving, Randolph bumped into it again, but still only half a step into it.

By this time, Soflosa's bag had already come, and he had no choice but to return the ball to Conley on the outside.

There was a stir at the scene, what the hell is this Tucker!

Fans with quick hands picked up their mobile phones and searched for them, and soon learned Tucker's resume: 06's No. 35 pick, a two-year contract was cut after only one year, and then he has been wandering in Europe, and he was signed by the Thunder on a cheap contract this season, and he played a swingman at the beginning of the season!

In the past half season, how can you top the big forward? And the key thing is that he also withstood Randolph, which is not scientific!

By the time Sofrosa retracted, Conley continued to give the ball to Randolph.

This time, Randolph lowered his weight to the top, and finally pushed Tucker into the top.

However, this time Sovlosa's assistance defense was faster, and by the time it was time to push the second time, Sofrosa's assistance defense was already in place.

With two consecutive waves of back-to-back plays, the Grizzlies' offensive time was running out, and Randolph could only choose to turn around and lean back to the baseline.

Tucker struggled to save, and Randolph interfered with the shot.

"Bang!"

The ball hits the rim of the basket and rolls in.

There was a stirring at the scene.

Although the goal was scored, it was more of a dribble, and Tucker's defense really surprised them.

When Randolph retreated, he also took a few more glances at the unknown striker opposite him, and obviously paid attention to it.

At this time, the scene shot was given to Tang Tian, who was sitting on the sidelines.

Tang Tian's expression didn't change, as if all this was expected by him.

Tucker is actually a geek, in fact, if it weren't for the rocket, maybe no one would have found out that he could play so well, but in fact, this has a lot to do with his resume in Europe in recent years, there are many white bears in Europe, and it is very confrontational, which is also the origin of Tucker's confrontation ability.

And the more critical point is that Toni Allen has no shooting ability, Soflosa can wrap up wantonly, even if Allen cuts in the air and Randolph passes the ball after the package, Soflosa has time to return to defense.

As for the final goal, it was up to Randolph's individual ability and luck.

Kidd advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the rest of the Thunder players fell straight to the ground at this point.

It was at this time that fans discovered Tang Tian's intentions for this lineup.

Tucker landed in the bottom corner on the right, which pulled Randolph straight out of the box.

Coupled with Soflosa, who was originally a three-point shooter, stood at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and the Thunder's sense of space on the court came out at once.

Middleton cut to the basket at this time, and then took advantage of Brown's block, and Kidd passed the ball with a flick of his hand.

The Grizzlies have always been at the top of the league defensively, but their strength is mainly that the Grizzlies are strong, the defense of the restricted area is strong, and Conley and Tony Allen are strong on the outside against the ball carriers, and they are actually not very good in the defensive area from the three-point line to the restricted area.

Brown blocked Prince, and Gasol made a long-arm pounce to interfere, but Middleton was quick to catch the ball and throw it before Gasol could get in place.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Middleton sent the ball firmly into the basket.

"Wow~" The commentator at the scene couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

This style of play on the Thunder court is actually no different from when he started, Tucker's position is the previous Dio's position, Soflosa is the previous Westbrook, and Middleton is naturally the role of Durant.

To the commentator's amazement, Middleton's shots, whether it was the size of the shot, the way he shot, or even the confident look in his eyes, were strikingly similar.

Randolph is not easy to chisel, Conley directly beckoned Gasol to pull to the high post to block and dismantle, and after dismantling, Conley chose to return the ball to Gasol.

But the elder Kidd was very experienced, and he turned around and slapped the pass away.

Sofrosa reacted quickly to the scrum of the floor ball, holding the ball in his arms and then throwing it into the hands of Tucker, who came to pick it up.

The Grizzlies' offense was disrupted.

Kidd took the ball and pushed to the frontcourt, this time dribbling beyond the left three-point line, beckoning Middleton and Brown to do double screens from beyond the three-point line.

After blocking, Middleton walked around for three points, and Brown went straight to the basket.

Kidd passes the ball from the crowd to Brown, who then splits the ball to the right.

At this time, no one noticed that Tucker was already in position on the right side.

However, the Grizzlies' defense was really good, and Conley pounced at this time, interfering with Tucker's shooting space.

However, Tucker didn't make a shot, but threw the ball back to Middleton at the top of the arc.

Middleton catches the ball with a big open spot and shoots straight three-pointers.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Middleton's three-pointer was returned!

There was a commotion at the scene.

The Thunder started 5-2!

This 9-person Thunder team is completely different from what I imagined!
