Chapter 224: The First Battle of Thunder
The Hornets starting lineup, point guard Wang Meng, point guard Tony Allen, small forward Wallace, power forward Gasol, center Oden.
The Thunder starting lineup, point guard Westbrook, point guard Seflosha, small forward Durant, power forward Ibaka, center Perkins.
"Ahh This time the game between the Thunder and the Hornets is still responsible for commenting on the two golden combinations of Barkley and Smith, looking at the starting lineups of both sides, Barkley can't help but smack his lips.
"It's nothing." Smith pointed to the Thunder bench and said, "The Thunder also have a James Harden who is fully capable but still starts off the court, and it is a bit of a hang to look at the Hornets game." ”
"Not necessarily." Barkley always likes to disagree with Smith, "Although the backcourt strength of the Hornets is not as good as the Thunder, but the Hornets' interior line is much more luxurious than the Thunder, the Thunder's Ibaka can only be Gasol's substitute in Spain, and Perkins' interior defense is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that he will suffer a lot of losses against Oden." ”
"Who is strong and who is weak, let's see on the field." "At this point, both sides are already in position on the court waiting for the jump ball," Smith said. ”
Auden looked at the black and fat Perkins, and laughed rarely, people say that I look very old, I don't think this Perkins can be checked much compared to himself, especially his bitter and hateful appearance, no matter how you look at it, how do you think about an African refugee.
Jumping with a refugee, how could Oden lose?
The referee threw the ball, and as soon as the basketball rose to the highest point, Oden soared into the air like a rocket and dialed the basketball to Wang Meng.
Wang Meng received the basketball and dribbled through the half court unhurriedly.
"Hey, what's wrong with your nose? Did you hear that people were beaten? It's miserable. Westbrook, who was opposite Wang Meng, said at this time, but looking at the way he spoke, it was obvious that he was not concerned about Wang Meng, but gloating.
"Would you like to try that too?" Wang Meng said unkindly.
Westbrook was about to speak back, Wang Meng started violently, Westbrook hurriedly swallowed the words that had reached his mouth back into his mouth, and stepped forward to block Wang Meng's breakthrough route.
"Instant explosion!" As soon as the game started, Wang Meng was extremely full of physical strength, and without hesitation, he used his skills to squeeze Westbrook aside and burst inside to complete a domineering dunk.
This season's block king Ibaka still wanted to come up to make Wang Meng often taste hot pot, but he was stunned to find that Wang Meng's speed was too fast, and before he could rush up, Wang Meng had already rushed into the inside and dunked successfully.
It took less than ten seconds for Wang Meng to come on the court and help the Hornets score the first point of both sides.
"I'm rubbing! It hurts me so much, this guy is so weird, he's always been like this, and he can suddenly burst out with such a powerful force, it's like a drug. Westbrook rubbed his chest, unashamedly thinking that he had suffered such losses several times in the regular season this season, but there was nothing he could do about it. I can only run back to receive the serve in a stupid way.
"How? How does it feel to be breached? Seeing Westbrook running over with the ball, Wang Meng stepped forward and asked very kindly.
Westbrook immediately breathed fire in both eyes, and without saying a word, he was going to beat Wang Meng with the ball, which was in Wang Meng's arms, and when Westbrook broke through, Wang Meng had no right to mark at all, Westbrook easily broke into the inside, and Oden Marsan came up to make up for the defense.
"Just because you stupid big guy still want to guard against me?" Westbrook sneered, having been in the league for several years, Westbrook had to do this almost every game against the big men of other teams, and he had long known what to do.
With a twist, Westbrook pressed close to Oden, making it impossible for him to easily block himself, while sending the ball up under Oden's armpit, and then watched the basketball fly towards the Nets.
"Peng." As soon as the basketball flew into the air, a hand appeared and slapped the basketball away.
"Damn it!" Westbrook didn't even need to raise his head to know who was blocking him this time, because the hand that stopped his basketball was yellow, and there is only one such hand in the league that can block him now, and that is Wang Meng.
Oden didn't jump to block Westbrook just now, which would have picked up the basketball that bounced back from the rebound, and then passed it to Wang Meng.
This time Wang Meng did not choose to come by himself, but after running through the half court, he handed the ball to Gasol who was in the inside position, and after Gasol got the ball, he squeezed Ibaka who was defending him behind him a little, as a teammate of the national team of Xibaya, Gasol knows Ibaka very well, and knows Ibaka's strengths and weaknesses.
Such a prescient advantage made Gasol easily use his feet to shake Ibaka's center of gravity on the inside, and then shoot and score unhurriedly, although Ibaka had the heart to step forward to block, but there was no chance to jump.
After the rematch, Westbrook still wanted to break through after his comeback, but at this time Durant stopped doing it, and he fell behind 4:0 in the opening game, do you still want to run to singles?
"Russell! Give me the ball! Durant has always been able to tolerate Westbrook's irrational shooting, because Durant knows that when Westbrook is in Dashun, he can fight against a team by himself, but this must be when the team is not in danger, if Westbrook has a normal hand, and the team is at a critical moment, Durant will not hesitate to step up and lead the team to victory with his own actions.
Westbrook charged, Durant saw blood, and although the two were not the best partners in the league, when they were together, they were something that no team wanted to see.
Westbrook saw Durant's request, although he was unwilling, he still passed the ball to Durant, "You wait, I will definitely fight back in a while!" After passing the ball, Westbrook still remembered Wang Meng's previous humiliation of him.
"If you want to play back, don't pass the ball at such a time!" Wang Meng glanced at Westbrook and said disdainfully: "Give the boss to fight at the critical moment, and brush up the points yourself at ordinary times, is this your way of survival in Thunder?" ”
"You fart!" Westbrook was furious, as a fourth-round rookie in '08, Westbrook has always been a person who does not admit defeat, although there is still the first pick in front of him, the second Beasley and the third Mayo, but Westbrook has been using actions to prove that whether it is Beasley or Mayo, it is much worse than me, except for Rose, no rookie can compare with me. Westbrook, who has always been in this state of mind, can tolerate Wang Meng's words, he looked at Wang Meng angrily with his eyes, and forcibly resisted the urge to go up and beat Wang Meng, let you be stunned for a while, and I will definitely prove with my actions that I am better than you!
