The Way of the Center

"Since the return of the All-Star Game, it is the first time we have seen the Thunder play their own defense. Δ" On the offensive end, the three young people of the Thunder are very talented, but on the defensive end, Jeff Van Gundy’s arrangement is undoubtedly a guide. Their key. Judging from the performance of this game, these guys have been tuned to be submissive by Van Gundy." During the intermission, Mike Brin and his partner were naturally discussing the imperviousness of the Thunder. Defense.

"Angel has already sent four blocks in the first half! Four times! He has become the guardian of the Thunder team!"

"Trust me buddy, An Jie is that kind of game player. The more intense and difficult the game, the better his performance. The score did not faithfully reflect the intensity of the appearance. In the second half, An Jie will be even more crazy!" Facing O'Neal, facing Yao Ming, or facing the Hornets' last lore, Anjie played very well against a strong enemy. It is not wrong to say that he is a competitive player.

"Ment! You must play fast-paced basketball in the second half! See how the Suns win by running and bombing! I'm not watching the video for you for nothing!" Old Nelson roared to the bottom in the locker room. , Seeing these guys silent below, Old Nelson became even more worried. If these most rebellious people are silent, it can only show that their confidence has been severely hit!

Sure enough, the Warriors' first offense in the second half was once again shattered by An Jie's block.

Stephen Jackson managed to get rid of Kevin Durant through the pick-and-roll. Unexpectedly, his emergency stop jumper after the breakthrough went out of the box.

The ball bounced a bit far, and An Jie couldn't control the rebound. After Monta Alice got the basketball, he went directly to the basket, but it was not a goal to greet him, but Anjie's head-on blood!

"Alice too underestimated the degree of Anjie's second jump! An Ke is not Yao. Although they are both Chinese, An and Yao are not the same type of player at all!" Indeed, if the ball just changed to Yao Ming's defensive area It is indeed a very smart choice to take advantage of Yao Ming's layup when he just landed on the rebound.

But the time required for An Jie to take off for the second time is much shorter than that of Yao Ming. You must know that An Jie does not have to carry a weight of 14o kilograms on the court.

"Five blocks! The Warriors have not scored too many points in the penalty area for a long time."

Unsuccessful offense is not the most painful thing for the Warriors. An Jie worked **** the defensive end, while Westbrook and Durant attacked the Warriors’ confidence in counterattacks on the offensive end time and time again.

Even Kyle Weaver, who had not performed well in the previous games, dared to fight a lot under the leadership of the three minors. He used his strong body and excellent athletic ability to frequently create kills and got many free throw opportunities.

Outstanding performance can not only affect you, but also affect your teammates around you. Now the entire Thunder team has been motivated by the enthusiasm of the Third Young Master, and there is no such thing as the trough that was full of wounded soldiers in the previous game against the Suns.

The Warriors are still struggling to support the singles of the three chaotic masters, but it is clear that their performance today is completely incomparable with the Thunder.

In the third quarter, the Thunder got a lot of rest time, because the Warriors have not been able to close the score. Everyone on the Thunder team is involved in defense and offense, and everyone has contributed their own strength. Even if the Thunder three are not present, they still suppress the Warriors from turning over.

To say that the only shortcoming of the others is that the new additions to the team, Thabo Sefrosa and Marrick Rose, have not found a sense on the offensive end, perhaps because they are not used to the Thunder's stern battle. But on the defensive end, these two guys have no problems with their swings.

"There is no need to continue the game in the fourth quarter. I even think Coach Van Gundy can stop. If it weren't for the Thunder's bench, the three rookies of the Thunder in the fourth quarter would not need to play at all." 1o1 to 74 , The defensive end is strong and the offensive end is fierce. The Thunder almost ended the game in just three quarters.

"Kyle Weaver dunks with both hands! He has scored 15 points today! The Thunder's second team played very well under the leadership of this young man. Can you believe that this is a crippled Thunder team? The most frightening thing is, how good is Presti's vision? A second-round pick can shine in the Thunder!"

In fact, Weaver's strength is very limited, but the Warriors have almost given up resistance at this moment, so he has got so many opportunities to break into the penalty area.

Five minutes into the fourth quarter, Jeff Van Gundy has to make a substitution! Even if the Warriors can't stand it anymore, he hasn't planned to stop.

"Third Thunder! They are still ready to debut!" Mike Brin couldn't believe his eyes. At this point in the game, the Thunder's massacre was not over yet.

If you don't use the third thunder master, then other people will be exhausted to death. Van Gundy not only needs to control the playing time of the players, the playing time of the substitute players also needs to be strictly controlled to avoid recurrence of injuries.

"Damn the game, there are still seven minutes!" The Thunder's second team has already made Stephen Jackson feel desperate. Unexpectedly, Van Gundy's bald head would continue to make moves. These seven minutes will definitely be his hardest seven minutes this season.

At the moment, half of the fans in the Oracle Arena chose to leave early, and the pre-game hyped up duel has long lost its original point of view. Originally, the Warriors wanted to take advantage of the recent bad situation of the Thunder, but they did not expect that they were smashed by this blue and white lightning.

Anjie leaned on Turiaf again, and he pushed in unhurriedly, completely losing the swift momentum at the beginning of the game.

But even with An Jie's slow singles, Turiaf has nothing to do with An Jie.

Anjie leaned on Turiaf and turned around, squeezed the space, hooked, and scored. Turiaf is already short, and then squeezed from the defensive position, he has no chance to stop Anjie.

"Turiaf's defense is simply decoration. An Jie can score goals at such a slow pace. I think An is going to fall asleep!"

Old Nelson and Jeff Van Gundy both sat quietly on the bench, did not travel from the sidelines, nor yelled at the players like they did in the first half. The reason why the two of them are so calm is because there is no suspense in the game. Van Gundy knows that his defense will not be turned around so easily, and Nelson also knows that this group of chaotic masters has no chance to find chaos.

"Earl Watson and Sefrosa's air relay! Oh, Sefrosa failed to receive the ball."

Although he made a mistake, both Sefrossa and Watson had smiles on their faces. This game has already become an exhibition game.

"The Warriors that created the black eight miracle are no longer there. Even if Stephen Jackson and coach Nelson are still on this team, they still cannot restore the Warriors' decline. I'm not talking about the decline of this game, but this. The Warriors’ unsatisfactory results throughout the season may allow this team to completely enter the rebuilding phase. The important thing the Warriors need to consider now is which player they should choose in the next draft. I heard, Recently they are very interested in Stephen Curry of Davidson College."

Yes, it is time. Whether it is the old Nelson or Stephen Jackson, they are destined to be the ones eliminated by the new era.

The Thunder three played four minutes in the fourth quarter, and these four minutes were also four minutes like a carnage.

The Thunder team is full of wounded soldiers~www.NovelMTL.com~ The right to shoot naturally falls in the hands of the third Thunder Masters. Westbrook and Durant attacked wildly. Although Anjie did not have as many shots as they did, his efficiency also ensured that his score would not be too low.

The game time finally reached zero, and the score on the big screen was simply unsightly. 133 to 11o, the Warriors lost the contest they considered "evenly matched" by 23 points.

Everyone in the Warriors quickly walked back to the locker room, and no one wanted to spend one more second on the court.

Such a **** massacre also caused Jeff Van Gundy to be a little embarrassed. When he shook hands with old Nelson later, he couldn't still say "You guys played well".

"We had good luck today." Van Gundy thought for a long time, but he could only say this when shaking hands to avoid embarrassment on both sides.

"No, you played a wonderful game." Old Nelson shook his head helplessly. The era that belonged to him has long passed...

With 27 wins and 24 losses, the Thunder took another solid step toward the playoffs! (To be continued.) 8
