The Way of the Center

　　 An ordinary CIC, except for the Chinese fans, no one else had much reaction to the ball. However, Presti was smiling. Judging from his performance just now, Anjie was able to have a tacit understanding with Durant and Westbrook. If these three boys can produce good chemical reactions, they will definitely become one of the top trio in the future.

　　 Dalembert unwillingly ran to the bottom line. He couldn't believe that he had been playing in the NBA for seven seasons. He was actually played around by two boys who played professional games for the first time. Even if the Thunder drafted Durant, could they really be so lucky to pick three potential stocks in a row?

　　 Center is not a defender. This position requires the support of an entire team. The most difficult thing for every rookie to correct is their own positioning. They were the trump cards of each team in college, and after arriving in the NBA, rookies must start from the bottom. Of course, if you think you are LeBron James, then this sentence is indeed not useful.

　　 It's not that Anjie doesn't understand this truth, so he didn't expect any chance of performance on the offensive end in this game. But I didn't expect that he received a pass from his teammate so quickly.

This is one of the benefits of joining the Thunder. Those who can score are newcomers. The old players are limited by their own strength and cannot carry the banner of offense. Therefore, Anjie and Westbrook can have it. The opportunity to perform like just now.

"These two guys are energetic! It is worth mentioning that everyone knows that Anjie eventually stopped in the round of 16 in the NCAA, and that game Anjie was defeated by UCLA led by Westbrook. . However, judging from the performance just now, the two boys have ignored the previous complaints, and now they are on the same front." The mainland commentators also introduced the two to Chinese fans who do not know the NCAA game. Dramatic relationship.

　　 After that, the 76ers' offensive responsibility is still on Iguodala's shoulders. The outstanding performance of this all-round small forward made Durant tired and let the 76ers fans see the hope of the new season.

　　 As for the Thunder, Westbrook's tomahawk split after breaking through Louis Williams also made the audience hooked. Westbrook also relied on this wonderful goal to get the first point of his career.

　　 After Westbrook's offense succeeded, the 76ers requested a timeout. It's not because the situation on the court is not good for them, but because the 76ers head coach wants to send in the bench to practice hands.

　　 Seeing that the 76 team has made a change, Carlesimo also replaced all the starting players including Durant, of course Anjie and Westbrook are still on the court.

　　 This time, Anjie’s matchup turned into a rookie in the same class as Marris Speights, who was selected with the 16th overall pick in the first round.

　　 Faced with this matchup that was 11 centimeters shorter than himself, An Jie was merciless, and Speights’ NBA debut was completely broken.

　　 First of all, Speights received a pass from Andre Miller. According to reason, the ball was only handed over to him as a transfer. However, Speights violated the tactical arrangement and started to beat Anjie privately with the ball!

　　 The Chinese can be selected at the 12th overall pick, but he also fell to the 16th overall as a center forward. Regardless of the slight difference in rank, the difference in salary is too much, which makes Speights very unconvinced. Speights never played against Anjie in the NCAA, otherwise he would certainly not make such a stupid decision.

　　 Speights looks huge, but his weight is only 111 kilograms, which shows how high the fat content of this guy is.

　　 hit the back first! Speights found that he did not advance and retreated after exerting his force, and was pushed by An Jie by two steps. For Speights, who was able to wreak havoc on the rim in college, it was simply unimaginable. It is excusable for him to be unable to beat NBA players, but he did not expect that he would not be able to step into the penalty zone even in the face of a thin Chinese rookie!

　　 But it doesn't matter, what Speights lives on is not his big size, but his soft touch that doesn't match his size.

　　 Speights half-turned away from the rim, as if to withdraw and shoot. An Jie really followed! Speights immediately bowed his waist, and passed under An Jie's raised arm with fast footsteps. It's passed!

　　 Speights takes off, he is bound to win this basket! But from his side he saw that Westbrook seemed to have started running to the front court. What's the matter?

　　 "Pop!" At the moment when Speights was puzzled, he saw that the basketball he had thrown was completely covered by a big palm, and the basketball flying into the air was fanned out from the side by this palm.

　　 Before the ball hits the ground, An Jie grabs the basketball, and then throws the ball forward without hesitation with a long flick.

"The ball is beautifully built by Anjie, but the young man is still inexperienced. The ball is still too impatient to deal with, so the pass is a bit big. Anjie should pay attention to avoiding such mistakes in the future." Shaking his head, this young man is still too frizzy. Ok? what!

　　 To everyone's surprise, this seemingly bound to go out of bounds ball was just chased by Westbrook who started early! A white lightning flashed from one half of the court to the other half, and then steadily caught the orange basketball thrown by An Jie near the free throw line.

　　 "Smart Chinese!" Westbrook knew that the ball was not An Jie's mistake, but that he passed it on purpose. After playing against Westbrook and training together for a period of time, Anjie clearly knew how terrifying the speed of this teammate. This kind of pass is tailor-made for him!

　　 It's all right now. There is not even a defensive player around Westbrook, and he will not waste the gift Anjie gave him.

"Nice fast break! A fast break initiated by a center forward is unbelievable!" The commentator has forgotten that he was slapped severely just now. He is now completely obsessed with this wonderful goal, unable to extricate himself from it. .

　　Divac couldn't help but clap his hands in the box. This summer, there was really no waste of effort. An Jie's control of passing is not much different from that of himself.

　　 Speights can only stand on the spot with his mouth open, the Thunder team actually completed a fast break between the lightning and flint. It seems that the name of this team is really not a fool.

　　 The fans in the audience realized that they had made the right decision to watch this preseason game!

　　 "Good job kid!"

　　 "You can dunk Russell next time!"

　　 "Come on! Yao Ming of Oklahoma!"

　　 The fans began to shout from the stands. This is a treatment that the veteran Thunder players sitting down the field have never received.

　　 The top speed in the league! This is Presti's evaluation of Westbrook.

　　 But Anjie and Westbrook are still newcomers. They both want to dominate the game and there is still a long way to go.

　　 76ers veteran Andre Miller taught Anjie and Westbrook a good lesson. Old Miller is not fast, and his shooting is not so precise, but he can organize the offense perfectly and always find a gap for himself to score.

　　 An Jie didn't pay attention, and Andre Miller had already completed the throw near the three-second zone. Westbrook has much faster feet and a much stronger body than him, but when faced with Miller's superb passing and running positions, the young Westbrook can't do much.

　　 Under the leadership of Miller, the 76ers successfully quelled the storm caused by Anjie and Westbrook. You know, the 76ers are currently playing on the court or the bench, which has caused these two young people who have just made the limelight to suffer.

　　 After the first quarter, the 76ers led by 24 to 16 by eight points. Andre Miller scored 8 points and 4 assists alone in this quarter. Not all rookies can become James or O'Neal. Angel and Westbrook are still very immature in front of the seasoned Miller.

　　 After the start of the second quarter, the 76ers took the main players to the court, and Iguodala continued his way of soaring points.

"Iguodala is merciless against Durant! Even though this is only the preseason, the 76ers have shown the young Thunder to the cruelty of the NBA! He broke through! Durant stood up straight! Chase! Iguodala jumped and dunked!" As the game progressed, the scene became more and more exciting, and the commentators in mainland China became more and more passionate.

　　 Just now Iguodala made a dunk across the Thunder's starting center Nick Collison, and Anjie looked terrified on the bench. During training, An Jie played against Collison, the big brother, and An Jie knew exactly how Collison was defensive. Unexpectedly, this guy named Iguodala can actually ignore the barrier under the basket. The NBA is really a perverted league!

　　 Anjie and Westbrook played a lot less in the second quarter, and they were not sent on the court again until the last two minutes. Facing the 76ers' second team, Anjie and Westbrook still got some chances to perform. But the strength of their two rookies is really limited, and the decline of the Thunder has not been stopped.

　　 When the whistle sounded at the end of the midfield, the fans in the audience could not wait to leave their positions. Apart from the shining performances of Anjie and Westbrook in the first quarter, this smelly and long game is really lethargic. They were not willing to waste the money to buy tickets and leave early, so they had to go out to get some air during the intermission.

　　 44 to 67, the Thunder exposed the nature of their weak team in the first half of a preseason. What big storms can you make with the Thunder just relying on three rookies? But Presti didn't care about the score at all. The second half of the game was when he really tested the team's lineup!

　　 The Thunder team's locker room was lifeless. An Jie was not used to this atmosphere. In the past, as long as Ricard roared in the Tornado team, everyone would be energetic. But now the team's head coach P.J. Carlesimo can only speak those pale and weak words of encouragement, and then drew a few new tactical arrangements on the tactical board.

　　 Durant scored 12 points alone in the first half~www.NovelMTL.com~ But what's the use? He has no helper who can share the pressure for himself. Everyone was thinking about their own affairs, and it was not until Calesimo made a decision to adjust the lineup that everyone focused on him.

"Angel and Westbrook will start in the second half, oh, Kevin, you too, and the three of you will start the second half together." Carlesimo did exactly what Presti asked him to do in the second half. The cooperation of the three newcomers is exactly what Presti really wants to see today.

　　 Everyone except Durant was shocked. Let three newcomers play at the same time. Two of them are playing a professional basketball game for the first time. There is no need to start so early if you want to give up!

　　 Although there were three people competing in the same field in the first half, it was only a few minutes after all. But now let the three of them play the first half of the second half, which makes it clear that the three of them are the main players in the second half. What is this not to give up the game?

"The preseason game originally existed to test the team lineup. You should perform well and don't care about winning or losing too much." Anyway, PJ Carlesimo was numb to losing last season. He lost nothing in a preseason game. not give a **** about.

　　 But these three young people who are about to come on stage can't agree, they all have a heart eager for victory.

　　 The three most valuable assets of the Thunder team will soon cooperate for the first time in the second half of the game. The preseason is a stage for players to seize opportunities.
