The Way of the Center

　　 No matter how great Jeff Van Gundy is, he has no magic. Wanting to make the team undergo a radical change in just three days is simply a fantasy!

　　 But why did the Thunder perform so well today? The Suns are not without reason.

　　 This summer, Mike D'Antoni, the meritorious coach who led the Suns out of the storm, traveled to the East Coast to play for the New York Knicks. After D'Antoni joined the Knicks, the Suns announced that Terry Porter, who was explaining tactics to the players at the moment, became the 13th coach of the Suns.

　　 The record of the Suns before they played against the Thunder was 9 wins and 5 losses. This result is not bad for a team like the Suns, but it is definitely not good. Careful fans can see that the Suns' offense seems not as sharp as before.

　　 Although the absence of the Sharks will affect the team to some extent, the root of the problem is Terry Porter!

　　 Porter, like Jeff Van Gundy, is a more defensive head coach. However, as the fans have seen, the Suns are obviously a better offensive team!

"Our defense was so bad in the first quarter! We actually allowed a team that lost ten consecutive times to score so many points in the first quarter. Robin, I want you to defend the Thunder's No. 16 in the second quarter. Center, I want you to make sure that his passing is not so full of threats anymore!" Terry Porter is right, the Thunder team without effective organization will indeed drop a lot of shooting. But he wants a team that is good at offense to focus on defense. Is this really okay?

　　 At the beginning of the second quarter, Anjie clearly felt the tremendous pressure from Robin Lopez. Lopez held up his hands and stuck to himself, holding on to each other. An Jie, who was completely blocked from sight, did not dare to pass the ball rashly, so he had to return the ball to Westbrook.

　　 Westbrook broke into the penalty area against Nash's defense like a chicken, and then made an emergency stop jumper, which not only avoided Stoudemire's defense, but also steadily scored the ball.

　　 Although the Thunder scored this goal, it is a manifestation of personal ability. Oklahoma City fans still cheered hoarsely for the goal, but Van Gundy, who saw the clues off the court, frowned. He immediately pulled out those little notes from his suit pocket, looking for a solution to the problem.

　　 Anjie listened to Van Gundy's opinion, this time he was defensive, he deliberately approached the three-second zone.

　　 just turned around, and sure enough, Nash had already pushed forward quickly.

　　 Except for Nash who temporarily stopped to organize an offense, the other Suns players are still running non-stop. It's just that compared to last season, the running position of the Suns players now seems a bit messy.

　　 suddenly! Nash passed the ball to Raja Bell, who ran outside the three-point line. Just as everyone but the iron-blooded veteran was about to end the offense by himself, Bell made a quick pass to the inside to cut in. Tadmier got the chance.

　　 "The coach is right!" The Suns' tactics started from Nash to Stoudemire's catch, and they only happened between the sparks and flints. If An Jie still went to the position according to the previous arrangement, then this time it would definitely be too late to make up the restricted area.

　　 But after listening to Van Gundy’s opinion, Anjie is outside the penalty area at this time! Being so close to the penalty area, even Yao Ming, who moves slowly, can make up for it.

　　 Stoudemire received the ball, but turned his head to find that An Jie was already waiting in the three-second zone!

　　 "Why is it so fast!?" Stoudemire hesitated for a moment. Should he continue to attack the frame or give up the attack and pass the ball?

　　 Yao Ming pressed Stoudemire to become the top pick, but in the rookie season Stoudemire used his outstanding performance to win the best rookie award in the competition with Yao Ming. He has never been afraid of the Chinese, even Yao Ming is not afraid. What's more, now this No. 16 is still a rookie who cannot be compared with Yao Ming.

　　 Stoudemire directly held the ball with both hands at An Jie and made a violent jump. He wanted to dunk on An Jie's head!

　　 It is true that Anjie and Yao Ming are incomparable now, but he is a completely different player from Yao Ming. Stoudemire, don't think all Chinese people are exactly the same.

　　 An Jie's footsteps moved very fast, so he had already stood still in the three-second zone. However, in order to ensure that the referee does not miss the judgment, Anjie decided to add a little bit of material.

　　 Stoudemire flew to the highest point, only to find that An Jie hadn't blocked the jump for a long time. Why, this rookie completely gave up resistance! ?

　　 Stoudemire used a lot of force, so he knocked down with An Jie with great force. But Steadmire did not expect Anjie to be so strong! This physical contact made him very uncomfortable, and naturally made him dunk the basketball.

　　 At the same time the basketball dunked, the referee also blew the whistle in his hand. Although Stoudemire was unwilling in his heart, at least he got two free throw opportunities.

　　Unexpectedly, when Stoudemire landed, he saw Anjie lying on the floor in pain, and the surrounding reporters frantically took these pictures. The referee's gesture also made Stoudemire think he was dazzled, and the referee actually convicted an offensive foul!

　　 "Ann is very smart in defense this time!" Mike Brin, the old dough stick, naturally saw the way, but he didn't explain it.

　　 The live big screen immediately gave a replay. Due to the coherent dunk action and the instinct to protect themselves from injury, most players will slightly lift their knees when dunking, and Stoudemire is no exception.

　　 The moment Anjie was touched by Stoudemire’s knee on the screen, he suddenly leaned back exaggeratedly. This scene made everyone gasp. The force of this blow is certainly not small! But Stoudemire knew that his knee had never hit it so solidly!

"He is obviously a flop!" Stoudemire stepped forward to the referee. Nash knew the temper of his teammate. He hurriedly crossed between the referee and the bully, and tried to push Stoudemire out. Push.

　　 "Don't pretend you!" After that, Stoudemire spread his anger on Angel who was still lying on the ground.

　　 Anjie ignored him, but waited for Durant and Westbrook to pull him up. After An Jie got up, he stooped and took a few breaths, as if he hadn't recovered from the violent collision.

　　 "Shameless!" Stoudemire clenched his fists, he really wanted to go up and beat the lanky center forward. Xiaobawang didn't know yet, his calmness was slowly losing.

　　 Although Anjie once again used his superb acting skills to win the ball for the team, but after Robin Lopez's close defense, Anjie could no longer organize a decent offense. For two consecutive rounds, the Thunder returned to the rhythm of attacking only by strong play, and the Thunder failed to score again in these two rounds.

　　 But fortunately, the Suns' offense has also fallen into a quagmire due to the improvement of the Thunder's defensive strength, so the Thunder did not lose the lead.

　　 When the Thunder once again marched towards the heart of the Suns, Jeff Van Gundy made a forward push gesture at Anjie from the sidelines. An Jie was suddenly overjoyed. Although he was able to organize an offense, it was not An Jie's favorite style of play. Now that Van Gundy gives this order, he is completely liberated!

　　 "An Jie seems to have a problem with his organization. How should the Thunder handle the offense now? Huh? An Jie has fallen to the low post!"

　　 The opponent started to defend against An Jie’s organization, then Van Gundy would have An Jie start offensive in the low post, completely disrupting the opponent’s deployment! Low singles, this is An Jie's favorite and most handy offensive method.

　　 Durant immediately understood his intentions after seeing An Jie's position change. He was originally taller than Barnes, so Durant's basketball hanging into the penalty area was not intercepted by anyone.

　　 "Have it finally started!?" Robin Lopez became focused, and he decided not to miss any of Anjie's movements!

　　 Anjie didn't beat back this time, but quickly turned towards the penalty area.

　　 "Let's look down on people! Do you want to break through so easily?" Robin immediately moved, but he didn't notice that An Jie's pivot foot did not move!

　　 Seeing Robin fooled, An Jie immediately turned to the bottom line, still a little reluctant to break through, but there is more than enough shooting space.

　　 An Jie took off and shot, and Robin, who was a few shots slower, couldn't effectively interfere. An Jie's basketball went directly into the net, and Robin failed again.

　　 Van Gundy waved his fist vigorously off the court. An Jie is really very practical in tactical arrangements!

　　 Anjie is threatening both in the high and low positions. Coupled with the strong offensive talents of Durant and Westbrook, Van Gundy feels like he doesn't have to worry about offense.

After 　　, Terry Porter didn’t know whether to defend against Anjie’s high-position ball or low-post singles. Even the head coach had no countermeasures, and the entire Suns’ defense became a mess.

The chaos, this is exactly what Durant and Westbrook like ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The entire second quarter the Suns were completely defeated by the fickle Thunder team, and the Suns due to the wrong tactical arrangement , On the offensive end also lost its due rhythm. Before they knew it, they were 14 points behind the Thunder!

　　 gave the Thunder a 14-point lead over the Suns, and it was only one half. Jeff Van Gundy, he really turned the decay into magic! 54 to 40, the Thunder ended the first half with an advantage for the first time.

　　 "Gosh, do you believe this was done by a commentator?" At the end of halftime, Mike Brin's humorous compliment also made the audience smile.

　　 Just when the Phoenix fans were looking forward to their team's comeback in the second half, the Thunder gave them a blow!

　　 In an offensive match with the Suns, Stoudemire once again got the opportunity to attack the frame. But this time Anjie did not flop, but forcefully flew out the basketball fan in Stoudemire's hands. This fan, it seems, directly fanned the momentum of the Suns counterattack.

　　 It is true that the Suns did not perform abnormally in the third quarter, but the Thunder still implemented Van Gundy's arrangements without delay. In this single quarter, the Suns scored two points more than the Thunder, but they still had to face a 12-point difference!

　　 This time, the Oklahoma City fans did not leave early. They have never been so enjoyable since the establishment of the Thunder.

　　 However, the Thunder are still too young. The psychological shortcomings of the young team will even outweigh the basketball itself. In the last quarter, the proud and gorgeous basketball of the Suns will not just bow to the ten-game losing streak. .NovelMTL.com~For mobile phone users, please go to read.
