Chapter 19: Against the Thunder

Before the Thunder changed its name this year, it was called Seattle SuperSonics, and the team was founded in 1967, when the Seattle Boeing Company was developing and manufacturing supersonic passenger aircraft, so it chose to call it Seattle SuperSonics, and later moved its home stadium to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the team was also renamed Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Cavaliers' opponent tonight is the Thunder, until after the victory over the Mavericks, the Cavaliers won a few more games in the following week, and from the game after the All-Star, the Cavaliers have not lost a game so far, which is the only team in the league, and the second place is the Spurs, who lost one game after the All-Star.

The Thunder is a very young team, of course, this is relative to Oklahoma, after all, the Thunder moved here last summer, so it can be said that it has not been a year now, so it seems that it is indeed very "young"

The star of the team is Durant, who has proven himself and the team's vision is correct, he is now a superstar in the league, and he will become a superstar in the league in a year or two, no one doubts this, because he really has this potential, which is recognized by everyone.

The second leader is the No. 4 pick selected by the Thunder this year, Russell Westbrook, the point guard showed his potential in this season's rookie game, and is also one of the core of the team's future construction, but the only thing that worries people is Westbrook's immaturity, and occasionally has a crazy performance, which makes the Thunder very worried. But worry is worry, they have time for him to grow.

The three masters are Jeff Green, Durant, Westbrook, Green, the three are known as the three young of the Thunder, all three are very young, and the youngest potential of the three is Green, Green is impossible to become a superstar, at most he will become a very good player.

Green has also been outstanding this season, not as good as Durant and Westbrook, but his performance has proven that he is worthy of the position of the team's top three. And the team is also very satisfied with his performance this season, if the team does not have Durant and Weiss, then the Thunder may use him as the core of the future team to develop.

"Our opponent tonight is very young, but you can't take it lightly, whether it's Durant or Westbrook or Jeff Green, all three have shown their potential, if all three of them play at the same time in this game, then we will be a big threat to me, but that's just a threat, although the Thunder didn't mess up this season, but everyone knows that they are going to the lottery this year, the lottery team, I think we have no reason to lose, right?" In the team's locker room, Brown was speaking loudly to the players.

"The Thunder are a team with a lot of potential, but that's just a lot of potential, maybe in the future they will be a strong opponent for us, but this year at least they are not our opponents, they are basically out of the playoffs now, so I hope you don't surprise me in this game, this game is a must-win game for us." Brown continued.

James and Huang Jun glanced at each other, and then said at the same time, "Don't worry, coach, we will definitely win this game."

The voice fell, Huang Jun spoke again, "Durant is also a small forward, and James is also a small forward, I believe that the confrontation between the two tonight will be very good-looking, Durant is recognized as a superstar in the league, and James is already a superstar, I don't know how the new star will perform when he meets a superstar in this game?" ”

After listening to Huang Jun's words, all the Cavaliers players are very much looking forward to it, as Huang Jun said, what will happen when a new star meets a superstar? The result is undoubtedly the demise of the new star, does it need to be said? That's what other Cavaliers players think, and there's no reason why they shouldn't.

Half an hour later, the starters of both teams were already on the pitch.

The starting lineup on the Cavaliers' side has not changed: point guard Huang Jun, scoring Battier, small forward James, power forward Landry, and center Asik.

The Thunder's starters are point guard Westbrook, scoring Earl Watson, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Jeff Green, and center Petro.

The reason why the Thunder's record this season is so poor is entirely because the team does not have a very good scoring guard and a center, so their record has not been able to go up for a long time, maybe this will not be the case with the Thunder team next year, the lottery draft picks will definitely bring them some changes, and for this, the general manager of the Thunder and other senior executives are very much looking forward to this.

The Thunder's scouts and general managers did a very good job in the draft, whether it was Westbrook or Durant, they proved that the Thunder's vision was very shrewd, and they didn't pick parallel goods or anything, which is undoubtedly the biggest comfort for the Thunder, right? As long as they don't go out of the playoffs, sooner or later they will make the playoffs, and the Thunder, from the top to the players, are convinced of this.

Petro and Asik jumped the ball, the whistle sounded, the ball was thrown, the two jumped up at the same time almost at the same time, "bang" The two had a physical collision in the air, but both of them didn't care, and the two angry shouts were drunk at the same time, Asik relied on his youth and many other advantages, and forced the racket out of Petro's hand, and the direction was naturally the direction where Huang Jun was.

While "good Asik" spoke, Huang Jun took a sharp step forward at the same time, copied the ball that Asik slapped into his hand, and then advanced towards the half, and stabilized in the half, after all, it was the first attack, and the success rate of the ball was a little better.

Westbrook opened his arms, squatted on a pony, looked at Huang Jun with his eyes unturned, and said softly, "Today I want to prove that I am better than you, why do I keep living under your glory?" Everybody knows about you, not me? You're the first one I need to address, and Ross is the second. ”

It is true that Westbrook's performance this season is very good, but compared with the two super defenders of Huang Junrose, he is still a little worse, but it is this that has allowed him to live under the glory of the two. The super performance of Huang Jun and Rose made people only realize how strong the two were, and Weiss was completely ignored by the world. It's absolutely impossible not to be angry, after all, his performance is also very good.

"Hehe, you want to make you famous overnight after defeating me through this game, right?" Huang Jun's words changed: "Do you think you can defeat me?" Is it possible? ”

Then no longer waiting for Westbrook's answer, he started directly, and his left foot took the lead in stepping out, and Westbrook's center of gravity was suddenly brought over by this foot, and the center of gravity was completely on the left side of Huang Jun, and his heart said, "But it's not white" The foot that had already stepped out was suddenly retracted at lightning speed, and when Weiss had not yet reacted, his right foot rushed towards Weiss's left, and Weiss had no time to defend at this time.

"Damn, damn it, why was I cheated like that?" Weiss looked at Huang Jun who rushed past him, and said a word of dissatisfaction, chasing Huang Jun's footsteps without stopping while speaking.

Huang Jun turned a deaf ear to Westbrook's words, in his opinion, the two were not of the same level at all, and it was a matter of time before he passed, and there was nothing to be happy about. After passing Westbrook, Huang Jun, who was inside the three-point line, rushed directly towards the Thunder's interior line with one arrow step.

At this time, Jeff Green immediately gave up his defensive player Landry and rushed directly towards Huang Jun. This kid is so fast, is it left or right? Green looked at Huang Jun, who was getting closer and closer to him, and kept guessing in his heart.

On the left, Green finally chose the left, he believed that his judgment was right, so he resolutely chose the left, but just when he chose the left and took action, he looked at Huang Jun who passed from his right with an incredible face, and muttered in a low voice when he saw this scene, "How is it possible, how is it possible, how can it not be the left?" Obviously, the shaking of the shoulders is to the left. ”

Huang Jun didn't have any answer to his words, and said in his heart, "Do you think I'm going to break through from your left?" When you judge in your heart that I am breaking through to your left, this kind of ending is already set, and no one can judge my breakthrough route with great accuracy, and the route you judge is just what I deliberately revealed to you. ”

Huang Jun, who retracted his mind, stabbed directly into the basket, ignoring Petro's re-defense, and jumped up directly, in the air, Huang Jun dodged Petro's arm, a lever, after avoiding the opponent's defense, he shot again, and at the same time his body deliberately leaned towards Petro's body, "No one's body is in the air and my body is flexible, you can accept this foul." ”

When Petro saw this scene, he secretly said, "It's not good, I'm fooled." But it was obviously too late, and it was obviously impossible for him to control the state of his body anymore, so he could only sigh secretly and reluctantly accept such a take.

After he sighed, the referee's whistle also sounded in his ears, hearing this, Petro didn't care too much, forcibly turned his head, looked at the ball in Huang Jun's hand, and said in his heart, "Don't go in, don't go in." ”

"Let me in" A loud cry came out of Huang Jun's mouth, and at the same time he threw the basketball in his hand, rubbing the rebound and throwing the basketball in his hand. Although the result of the ball has not yet come out, he is very confident at this time, and he believes that he will definitely score this goal.
