I am Really an Insider

In the first two games of the opening game, James and Paul both won.

The Warriors defeated the Pelicans without any blood, although Thompson, who was newly joined by the team, was a little acclimated and performed poorly. He only scored 9 points on 3 of 8 shots.

But Paul's performance of scoring 35 points still allowed last season's Western Conference champion to save face.

As for the Cavaliers, James also won very easily.

Rose's state made Chicago fans despair. He only made 8 of 22 shots in the game, which was very inefficient.

It seems that the youngest MVP can never regain his former form.

Although the Bulls' second-year forward Nikola Mirotic played a good battle and scored 19 points.

But it still couldn't withstand the hard power of the Cavaliers' Big Three.

However, facts have once again proved that although Bosh was replaced by Love, James' team's interior defense is really eight-line!

Milo played like a giver.

There is no way, then Mozgov is a championship center, how much better can the Cavaliers' interior defense be.

In fact, it's not just the Cavaliers, most teams now have poor interior defense.

For someone like Green who can play the fifth position casually without suffering any losses, you know how much the league is short of centers.

The victories of the Cavaliers and Warriors also raised people's expectations for the Trail Blazers.

If the Trail Blazers can also win, then the war between these three teams will become intense from the beginning of the season.

As for the Thunder

The Thunder were not favored from the beginning of this season and were considered a weak side.

Because their lineup depth is very problematic.

Of course, Wayne knows that the Thunder are not weak. In the 2016 playoffs in original history, the Oklahoma City Kings once led the Warriors 3-1, and were only one game away from reaching the Finals.

This gap directly changed history.

If the Thunder really makes it to the Finals, then Du Xiaoshuai may not go to the Warriors, but to Cleveland.

Because the team that beats him will transform from the Warriors to the Cavaliers.

Based on the principle of joining if you can't beat them, fans will have the opportunity to see explosive combinations like 23+35.

This combination is incredible. If you look carefully at the two numbers 23 and 35, you will know that there is a hidden secret.

If these two people join forces, they will be known as 58 City in history!

58 went to war, not a blade of grass grew!

Pao'er: Brother Wei, give me your home address, and I'll send you some American specialties.

It's a pity that Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou don't believe in tears, and the NBA doesn't believe in ifs.

There are no ifs in history. The Thunder and the Warriors are destined to become the background of Aking's great journey.

Although they failed to reach the finals, the Thunder were able to reach the tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals before losing, which is undoubtedly an outstanding result.

So, is it because the Thunder are not favored now because everyone is blind?

actually not.

The Thunder's ability to reach the tiebreaker with the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals was actually beyond most people's expectations. Even Thunder fans themselves probably didn't expect it.

That year it was generally believed that the only player in the Western Conference that could compete with the Warriors was the Spurs.

You know, the Warriors and the Spurs in the Western Conference that year, one had 73 wins and the other had 67 wins. These were both directly on par with the teams behind them.

But no one could have imagined that the Spurs would overturn when facing the Thunder in the playoffs.

In the series between the Thunder and the Spurs, the Spurs had the advantage in terms of physical strength, but they couldn't resist the Thunder's explosion throughout the whole round!

You know, in the G2 series, five Thunder players scored in double figures, and they only beat the Spurs by 1 point.

But the Thunder can explode. In G6, even Robertson's shots were not as accurate as his girlfriend's, and he was able to hit 3 of 5 three-pointers.

The Spurs take the lead and win.

Of course, the Spurs themselves are not without their problems.

First of all, Kawhi's condition is indeed average. The defensive end failed to restrict Durant, and the offensive end was not very efficient. The entire team's offense relied entirely on Aldridge.

The team offense that they are proud of failed to perform due to the poor condition of the role players.

Also, the Spurs' rebounds were blown to pieces by the Thunder, often losing more than a dozen rebounds in a game.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Zha played really well.

When the Thunder played the Mavericks in the first round, Du Xiaoshuai's shooting percentage was only 36.8%, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 26.8%. At that time, people said that Durant was useless.

As a result, in the second round, this guy increased his shooting percentage to 50% without any warning, forcing the veteran Vic to reluctantly tell reporters after the game: "I have never seen such a lawless person like Durant."

To sum up, in the 4 games that the Thunder won, the Spurs needed to break out in every game, and the role players took turns to break out in order to win the Spurs.

Even if Wang Zhao or the role players behave normally, it is impossible to win.

Although they defeated the Spurs in an upset, the Thunder's luck almost ran out here.

Facing the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, Wang Zha relied on the momentum he had just won against the Spurs, coupled with the miraculous effect of Oklahoma City's small lineup on the Warriors, and beat the confused Warriors 3 to 1.

Kerr found that his small lineup suddenly didn't work well against the Thunder.

Fortunately, the Warriors adjusted in time, and in G6, Thompson stepped up and scored 11 three-pointers in a single game, completely changing the direction of the series.

G6 soup has also become famous in the world since then.

The Thunder failed to win G6, which also declared that failure was inevitable.

Because the Thunder have relied on a seven-man rotation and relied heavily on Wang Zhan's style of play to reach this point, their physical fitness has been completely exhausted and they can no longer rush.

The longer the series drags on, the more obvious their fitness issues become.

As a result, the Warriors made a shocking comeback and went to the Finals to win the championship with 73 games.

Everyone also knows the story of Du Xiaoshuai's loss to the Warriors.

So generally speaking, there is a certain degree of chance for the Thunder to reach the tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals.

The hard power of this team is actually not at that level yet.

This is why Wayne said that even if the Thunder did reach the finals, they would still have to lose if they should.

As for what Perkins said about the 16th Thunder, it was mainly because they didn’t have me, otherwise they would have won the championship. This was just to gain popularity.

Facing such a thunderous team, Wayne was still confident of getting first blood.

The key is not to let the king explode.

The starting players of both sides are in place. The Thunder's starting five are Robertson, Du Xiaoshuai, Ibaka and Iron Adams, a man with a young man whose offensive level is almost as good as Tony's.

On the Trail Blazers' side, the starting five are Curry, Tony, Jebo, Wayne and Biggie.

This starting lineup, Tony and Jebo's double ghost shooting, is no less powerful than the Spurs' Kawhi Ka + Green's wing set in the original history.

On the offensive end, with the crossfire of Curry + Wayne, this offensive and defensive combination can handle the vast majority of games.

McGee: You ask me what my role is? Uh, it's okay, don't look at me, I'll just take a walk~

Of course, the Blazers' current starting lineup is still in the experimental stage, and Carlisle will continue to adjust the starting lineup according to different opponents and situations.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and Biggie jumped up high and slapped the ball into Curry's hand.

Curry was stunned for a moment when he got the ball, because last season when the old sister-in-law and the old wolf teamed up in the paint, the fight for the ball was basically a formality and they would never be won.

Getting the ball right from the start was a bit unaccustomed.

On the first offense, Curry deliberately hit the ball to Wayne.

Two years later, Ibaka once again defended himself in front of Wayne, and the cheers at the scene gradually grew louder.

Back then, Ibaka was also a defensive warrior and one of the few No. 4 players in the league who could rival Wayne in terms of athletic ability.

But now, two years later, things have changed.

Ibaka's decision to play in a closed game in the last playoffs caused a significant decline in his athletic ability.

He once ranked second in the Best Defensive Player voting, but now he can no longer reach the DPOY level.

Wayne's speed and agility have dropped a bit, but Ibaka has dropped even more than Wayne.

Therefore, after Wayne got the ball, he accelerated directly and headed towards Ibaka's right side.

Ibaka's first reaction was still very quick, after all, the foundation is here.

But when Wayne suddenly changed direction midway, he couldn't keep up.

I think back then, when Braised Eggs were still around, it was impossible to use this kind of change of direction to get rid of Ibaka.

Coupled with the fact that Wayne was a whistle insulator at the time, Ibaka's defense was very unscrupulous.

So Ibaka was one of the few players who could make Wayne very uncomfortable.

And now, Ibaka doesn't even have a chance to confront Wayne.

Wayne changed direction and threw away Ibaka. Ibaka could react in his mind, but his body couldn't keep up.

By the time he turned around to chase after him, Wayne had already moved half of his body away.

At this time, Sea King Adams quickly defended to the basket.

Wayne looked at Neptune, who was covering his balls, glanced at Big Johnny, and then threw the ball into the air.

Adams obviously didn't expect Wayne to choose to pass the ball, so he didn't react immediately.

When he tried to intercept the ball again, McGee had already jumped up and grabbed the basketball in the air.

Adams could only raise his arms to resist McGee's collision.

In the end, without the opponent jumping at all, Big Johnson successfully smashed the ball into the basket.

Air connection buckle!

As soon as the first attack came up, Wayne directed a brutal show.

Although Big Johnson's athletic ability is indeed not what it was before the injury, he is still very strong.

Speaking of which, Wayne rarely partners with athletic insiders.

I remember when I was playing with my sister-in-law, where did we play this kind of game?

Don't tell me, Wayne feels quite happy working with such a dancing guy.

Just throw it away and it's just an alley-oop, so what else do you need a bicycle?

Birdman, Jordan:? ? ?

Hey, man!

Play and forget!

"Wei tore apart the Thunder's defense. He is still the absolute core that can drive the whole team! Let's see how the Thunder will respond!"

The Blazers' first attack was quite impressive.

This made Du Xiaoshuai, who was already nervous, even more nervous.

People only saw McGee's amazing physical talent, but what Du Xiaoshuai saw was Wayne playing with Ibaka.

Wayne is still so fast, his breakthrough is still so sharp, and he is still so strong!

As soon as Gui Shao took control of the ball, he handed the ball over to Du Xiaoshuai.

At this time, the Thunder's head coach was former Trail Blazers assistant Billy Donovan.

He accepted the Thunder's invitation last summer and officially started his own business.

To be honest, Donovan didn't really approve of Brooks after having defeated the Thunder so many times with Carlisle.

A team with such top-notch talent has never won a championship.

If it were me, I would definitely build the Thunder into a real championship team!

Then last season the Thunder didn't even make the playoffs.

Well, the Thunder did not make the playoffs last season mainly because Durant was reimbursed for the season, and it had little to do with Donovan's coaching.

But even so, Donovan no longer finds coaching the Thunder an easy task.

No, the Thunder's offense this season is actually following Brooks's method-the king bombed and blinded Jie Bao!

There's no way, look at all the people on the Thunder team.

Robertson's offense is at the same level as Tony's, Ibaka is only pulling out to shoot three-pointers, and Adams doesn't have much offensive skills.

This can only let Wang Zha take the ball and do it himself.

So, this time, after Durant got the ball, he waved to everyone and prepared to attack.

But at this moment, Wayne squeezed over, crossed in front of Durant, turned to Jibao and said: "Get down, I'll do it!"

Without much hesitation, Jiabao immediately gave up to Durant and followed Ibaka.

"Eh?" Durant looked at Wayne who was suddenly standing in front of him, his expression completely frozen.

Damn it.

Wayne, if you can't afford it, just say so!

How can you force your teammates to switch defenses like this!

You Blazers are the ball lord!

"Here we go, Wayne took the initiative to defend against Durant in the first round! Haha, this is the essence of this game!"

The on-site commentator was excited. Stern looked at the rising ratings and called WGNB directly.

Of course, Wayne is not deliberately trying to please the fans. It's just that he hasn't seen the young coach in two years and is a bit itchy.

Moreover, Wayne also wants to know how he can fare against real top stars this season.

As for those opponents in the preseason, Wayne really can't complain.

If you can successfully defend just by standing there and doing nothing, what kind of strength does this test?

You still have to meet someone of Du Xiaoshuai's level to know how much you weigh.

Durant's heartbeat began to accelerate crazily. After all, he had just returned from a season-ending injury. It's definitely a bit scary to go straight to Hell difficulty as soon as you get there.

But no matter how panicked, he had to face it. Durant held the ball and made two fake shots. Seeing that Wayne was unmoved, he accelerated to the left and broke through!

However, because he was too nervous, Durant kicked the ground a little too hard.

In addition, the floor was a little slippery for some reason, so Durant slipped a bit just as he started, and then he lay on his side on the ground and fell heavily.

Xiaoshuai overturned the car at the first step!

Wayne:? ? ?

Looking at Durant lying on the ground, Wayne was confused.

Why are you like this too? ?

I just stood there and didn't do anything, so I guarded you?

What's going on with this alliance now? Are you going to use this to test my defense for three consecutive DPOYs?

Wayne felt like he really wasn't going to be able to play basketball anymore.

Curry also shook his head when he saw it. How many times do you want me to say this? The floor is very slippery, so be careful!

This is the experience of people who have been there!

If you don’t listen, will you suffer a loss?

Despite this, Wayne reacted quickly to pick up the basketball and passed it directly to Butler.

The latter dunked quickly and Wayne scored two assists in the opening game!

Durant was lying on the ground, his face red.

It's so shameful to step on a horse, let me wipe it!

This is a live broadcast across the United States, a live broadcast across the United States!

And because it is Wayne's comeback game, it can basically be said that basketball fans all over the world are watching this game.

Du Xiaoshuai made such a fool of himself in the first round of such a game.

It was a huge social death scene.

Don't tell me, even Wayne feels a little sad for Xiao Shuai.

Why do you always have to go through this.

"Oh, I told you to take it easy, take it easy, look at you, I see Wayne can't even stand still." Mr. Turtle shook his head and helped Durant up.

Durant originally wanted to say, "I'm not nervous at all," but after experiencing such a humiliating moment, any explanation was pale.

After all, he is a person who will trip over himself even if he is filming an advertisement if he gets nervous.

When you see Brother Wei, you have to throw him down no matter what to show respect.

"Wayne is amazing. He guarded Durant without making a move!"

"This is Wayne's intimidation. As long as he stands there, he can scare the opponent to the point of weakness!"

"Although he has disappeared for two years, it can be seen that Wei is still a nightmare for other players."

"See, this is the highest level of eye defense. Harden should learn from Wayne!"

The commentators blew the whistle on Wayne. He defended one of the most terrifying scorers in the league in the first round of his return. Can they not blow it?

Wayne listened to the cheers in the arena and the soaring humiliation meter, and didn't know what to do.

I really didn't do anything.

Here’s the first update, begging for votes~
