Chapter 12: Thunder Team IV

Liu Rong and the staff came to the portrait of Ibaka, and the staff began to say: "In the 2008 NBA draft, Sergi? Ibaka was drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics in the first round at No. 24 and was scheduled to stay in Spain until the 2009-10 season. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Read the novel to the net C Ibaka has been the NBA league block king for two consecutive seasons; Named to the league's All-Defensive First Team for three consecutive years; In the 2011-12 Defensive Player of the Season, Ibaka was ranked second. Sergi? Ibaka joined the Spanish men's basketball team in 2011 and won the 2011 European Men's Basketball Championship. Runner-up at the 2012 London Olympics. Ibaka was born into a basketball family, and his father Dessie Rey? Ibaka is a member of the Republic of Congo national team, and his mother Amadou? Dehongka played in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the young Ibaka was exposed to basketball and played basketball every day at the age of seven. Ibaka has 18 siblings and is the 16th in his family. As a child, Ibaka's family was not wealthy, and the main source of income for the family was the restaurant owned by his grandfather, which was important to Ibaka, because he could eat enough and have the strength to climb mountains and play basketball. When Ibaka was 8 years old, his mother died of cholera, and when he was 9 years old, war broke out in Congo, and a large number of African people died in the war, and Ibaka had to live a life of exile and home. Affected by the war, Ibaka and his family left Brazzaville, the capital of Congo, and moved to a small local town, where they lived for four years. After the war, Ibaka's family returned to Brazzaville, but the Congolese government imprisoned his father for his life on behalf of the armed forces. After his father was released from prison after a year in prison, Ibaka was already a member of the Congolese youth team, leading the Republic of Congo to the championship at the 2006 African Youth Basketball Championship, and the 17-year-old Ibaka was awarded MVP. Ibaka was also spotted by scouts and taken to France to play in France's lower leagues. Soon Ibaka moved to the Spanish league, playing for Juventute, Under-20 youth teams in Spain, Jobregat in La Liga, and Manresa in La Liga, where he taught himself Spanish. On January 17, 2014, in the Thunder's victory over the Rockets, Sergi? Ibaka finished with 21 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks, becoming the first Thunder player to score at least 20 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks in a single game since Feb. 22, 1994. On February 1, 2014, in the Thunder's away game against the Nets, Ibaka scored 25 points on 12-of-12 shooting from the field, helping the team win by a wide margin. On March 14, 2014, in the Thunder's victory over the Lakers, Ibaka played 29 minutes and finished with 15 points, 10 rebounds, seven blocks and two steals on 6-of-9 shooting. On May 28, 2014, Ibaka made his comeback in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and Spurs, scoring 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks on 6-of-7 shooting to help the Thunder win back.

At 25 years and 41 days, Ibaka became the third-youngest player in NBA history to get 1,000 blocks. Smith and Dwight? After Howard. Ibaka's achievements on the pitch are also very impressive, but it is his international that is Spain!

Our current No. 2 position is Jeromy? Lamb: Already a star at Norcross High School, he averaged 20 points and 6 rebounds per game as the captain of the basketball team, leading the team to the regional finals. He finished 27-3 in the U.S. high school league and led the team to the quarterfinals. As a result of his high school performances, Lamb eventually accepted an offer from the University of Connecticut, where the school's head coach at the time, Jim Brown, was the head coach at the time. Calhoun thinks Lamb's style of play reminds him of former UConn star Richard? Hamilton. A lanky swingman, Lamb has a good athletic physique, good technique and good running ability. With an arm span of 6'11", this will make him feel like a fish in water in the second position. In terms of physical fitness, Lamb's bounce ability is very good, and the bounce speed is very fast, the jump speed is good, and the explosiveness is also very good, and the death dunk that was played in the NCAA has a fairly fast first step. Overall, Lamb's agility is also very good, and he can move away from the ball with and without the ball very easily. Because of his speed and long arms, Rambo is very good at defending opponents' three-point shots, and he is also a guard with excellent rebounding awareness and a high basketball IQ. In addition, he trains very hard, is very demanding on all aspects of his skills, and has improved significantly every year. After a breakout late in his freshman season, Lamb improved his technique in the summer of 2011, improving his positioning and movement in the half-court attack. After Walker landed in the NBA, Lamb was a major player in the 2011-12 season. Despite the team's poor record due to the team's system and his two point guard partners playing too alone, Lamb still showed himself to be one of the most talented wing players in the 2012 draft. A quarter of Lamb's offense is solo or with the ball through teammates' pick-and-rolls, and has the potential to score on his own. When it comes to dribbling, Lamb can use his speed and skillful dribbling ability to tear apart the opposition's defense. A variety of flashy changes of direction, combined with a variety of scoring throws and fake forward shots, made his scoring style tend to be diverse, and Lamb is used to using step-back shots or using dribbling to create space for mid-range shots. Unlike most American players who like to break through, Lamb prefers to make jumpers after getting rid of defenders, and he doesn't do a lot of fouls on physical contact, the most direct proof of which is that Lamb's free throw count is very low, and 73% of his offensive options are half-court offensive jumpers. He shot 60 percent from two-point range throughout the season, the highest percentage of any player in the NCAA's top 100 rankings. Defensively, Lahm has a good reach and excellent lateral movement, which makes it difficult for opponents to break through him. The NCAA averages more than 1 steal per game, and the defensive awareness and overall view are also good. Despite his height, arm length and speed, Lamb's physical advantage is not obvious, and he struggles to defend strong defenders and is prone to foul trouble. Due to his thin nature and narrow shoulders, he may need to train to gain weight. It has extremely stable long-range firepower. But Miller wasn't just a shooter, he was a leader who had a last-minute comeback of 8.9 seconds and 8 minutes. Although Ray Allen has begun to surpass Miller's achievements among the current players, Miller is still a legend for the older generation of fans. Compared to Miller's sharp three-point shooting, Lamb's long-range shooting stability needs to be improved, and in the 2011-12 season, Lamb's three-point shooting rate of 33.6% was not very outstanding. However, Lamb averages as many as 6 three-pointers per game per game, which is also his main scoring method in addition to mid-range shots. In addition, Lamb's defensive ability is also very strong, which is also the similarity between him and Miller, who knows how to use his body and has advantages in terms of speed and reach.

Our No. 5 is Steven? Adams: Freshman season, Steven? Adams played in a total of 32 games, all starts, including six games in double figures, setting a team record for freshman shooting percentage, averaging a team-high 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game, and ranking fifth on the team with 7.2 points per game. Selected for the Great Eastern Conference rookie team. scored a career-high 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds against Bethune Cookman University; Grabbed a season-high 14 rebounds against Duquesne University. He played in Tournament A, where he had 13 points and 11 rebounds against Wichita State University and a career-high five blocks against the University of South Florida. Outstanding height and athleticism, talent is just being revealed, and it is malleable. He runs like a deer on the court, has large but soft palms, and strong arms, which make him a good rebounder. Have a good body and broad shoulders. Full of energy and enthusiasm on the playing field, with the enthusiasm and attitude of a blue-collar worker. Motivated, and demonstrates a lack of fear of competition and obedience to the coach's arrangement. He has never been contaminated with any bad habits. He's worked on improving his jump shot over the past few years and has come a long way, and his shot, which was not brilliant at the Adidas National Training Camp in Chicago in 2010, is now much smoother. He has a very good feeling for the game. He has a hand that is rare for a big man, and he is especially good at passing. He has excellent blocking ability, and he can send blocks based on his height even when he is out of position. The lack of light is still a big flaw in his game, but he is aware of it and is working hard to improve. He's a humble lad who doesn't seem too used to being in the spotlight, but he still has time to boost his self-confidence. The technique in the low post is still improving, but he seems to have a good understanding of what he needs to do in the low post. Steven? Adams is a tall, athletic interior player who can finish offense; No shooting and low post ability, offensive rebounding is better than defensive rebounding; Good blocking ability, frequent turnovers and fouls. That's our team's starting five, but do you know our team's coach, Scott? Brooks: The 2009-2010 season was Brooks' second season at the helm of the Thunder, but it was only his first full season with the Oklahoma City team. Led by the 44-year-old head coach, the Thunder, who had a 23-59 regular season record in 2008-2009, soared to the playoffs in 2009-2010 with a 50-32 record and finished eighth in the West, marking a two-year history since the team moved to Oklahoma City. And you know, Brooks' Thunder team is the youngest team in the entire league, and they can win 27 more games in one year than last season, which is nothing short of a miracle - which is also a foil to Brooks's excellent coaching ability.

Coaching the Thunder is Brooks' first time as head coach of an NBA team, having previously served as an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets (2003-2006) and the Sacramento Kings (2006-2007) and as an assistant coach with the Thunder from 2007-2008 to early 2008-2009. And while studying with George on the Nuggets? Carl's time was one of Brooks' most important growth times. It was Carl's words and deeds that made Brooks what made him, and the Thunder coach also took his mentor's teachings to heart - when he learned that he had been selected as the best coach of the 2009-2010 season, the first thing that came to his mind was the Nuggets coach who was still battling his illness. And I believe that Carl, who only scored 11 points in the final selection, will be happy for him to see that his former disciples can achieve such achievements. On April 22, 2010, the league officially announced that Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott ? Brooks was named NBA Coach of the Year for the 2009-2010 season. Brooks received 71 first-place votes, 39 second-place votes and 8 third-place votes from 123 sports journalists across the United States and Canada, for a total of 480 points, ahead of second-place Milwaukee Bucks head coach Scott Brown. With 167 points, Skels has a very clear advantage, and he deserves to be named Coach of the Year.

This is the best lineup of the Thunder, and of course we have a lot of good benches, which is also one of our highlights, and I will introduce them to you one by one.
