Build a Dream Dynasty

The Christmas game, as the NBA's official gift to basketball fans around the world, has attracted the attention of the world. It is undeniable that the duel between the two kings, Kobe and James, has the greatest influence. Even China's CCTV chose to broadcast and record the game, but the two new superstars Durant and Curry led The direct dialogue between their respective teams also made many fans look forward to it. At least, in the United States, a considerable number of fans who really pay attention to the NBA chose to watch this game.

Chesapeake Energy Arena was full of seats, and the entire arena was completely blue ocean! This atmosphere puts pressure on all visitors. This small town is home to one of the best teams in the league. During Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Hornets came here for a short time to play. The enthusiasm of the fans was amazing, and it also attracted the attention of local businessman Bennett. After the acquisition of the Supersonics, the team was relocated to his hometown. During the two-year reconstruction period, the Thunder did not know how badly they were beaten, but the local fans never left them and maintained their support for the team. Although the size of the city is small and the economic development is average, the Thunder's commercial development, ticket prices, and income cannot be compared with the teams in big cities, and the signings are also constrained by many parties, but there are such loyal fans. , can be regarded as a lot of different touches.

Players from both sides entered the field and started training. However, at this time, the broadcaster's cameras were not aimed at the players on both sides. Jiang Mingliang and Taylor Swift also appeared on the sidelines at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, which was a little surprising. The probability of Jiang Mingliang accompanying the team to appear on the road is not very high, and although Taylor Swift has the label of a Nets fan, everyone knows that she is purely a fan of the house and never comes to watch away games.

This is also a rare joint appearance of Jiang Mingliang and Taylor Swift recently. Of course, appearing on the occasion of the Christmas battle can still grab the exposure!

The referee lightly threw the ball into the air, and the game officially started. At the moment when the basketball was about to rise to the highest position, the two competitors jumped up at the same time, stretching their arms as far as possible, trying to overwhelm each other in the scrimmage.

In the end, the taller and better-bouncing Lopez won the jump ball and slid the ball toward Fernandez, who stepped forward and got the ball in his hands before Durant. Then, taking advantage of the momentum of the body, he piled the ball forward and passed through Durant's crotch. With a shake of the body, he successfully got rid of Durant's defense.

The Thunder immediately retreated, and Brooks' arrangement was not surprising. It was true that Holiday was to defend Curry and Westbrook took care of Fernandez.

The passing action was beautiful, but the Thunder's timely defense made Fernandez's passing a bit futile, and the ball went around and returned to Curry's hands to reorganize. However, what is surprising is that the Thunder double-teamed Curry in the first round of the game. He also used his peripheral vision to catch Fernandez, who was in position, and scored a goal in time. Fernandez grabbed the ball before Durant's long arm, and made a back pass. The open Leon case made a three-step layup and scored the ball. , scored the first point for the Nets.

The Thunder team has a custom, the first attack after the opening, if the situation permits, it will be handed over to Perkins for singles, do not expect the ball to be scored, only hope that Perkins can control his emotions in the next time, do a good job own defensive work.

Logically speaking, if the Nets made the move first, the Thunder should omit this procedure and start playing directly. However, for the first offense of the Thunder, Perkins was active in the interior. Durant had no choice but to pass the ball. He went in without moving, and waited for Perkins to arch three times, and then hit the iron, and the whole team returned to defense.

However, after this attack failed, the Thunder began to show off. Durant, Holiday, and Ibaka succeeded in attacking again and again, making all 4 shots and taking the lead with 9-4. There was only one strong hit from Lopez.

Stevens was under a little pressure on the sidelines. Fortunately, Curry's mid-range shot made him dispel the idea of ​​calling a timeout in advance. At critical moments, the team relied most on Curry.

Durant missed a 5-foot jumper. Green easily picked off the rebound. After landing, he quickly dribbled the ball towards the Thunder's half court. The Thunder reacted very quickly, especially Westbrook. At the moment of the rebound, he quickly returned to defense.

Holiday didn't leave there either, and was waiting for Curry at the three-point line. The task he received today was very clear, which was to strangle Curry's outside threat at this point. Therefore, even if Green drifted past him, Holiday just pulled his arm symbolically, and then continued to stare at Curry.

2 points is better than 3 points.

The flat-footed Green scored an easy layup, and the point difference was immediately reduced to 1 point.

After Curry fired, the Nets and the Thunder played against each other, and quickly tied the score to 15:17, and the two sides entered the first commercial pause.

After returning from the timeout, Durant switched to the death mode, mid-range jumper, three-pointer, broke through the basket and hit 2+1, almost omnipotent. Leading the team to play a wave of 12-2 attacks, widening the point difference. Fortunately, for the Nets, Ray Allen's appearance and Curry formed the Lunli brothers, leading the team to launch a counterattack. At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder ended with a 38:33 lead by 5 points.

In the arrangement of Stevens and Schneider, rebounds are very important. The Nets paid great attention to the protection and pressing of rebounds in this game, which gave them an absolute advantage on the rebounds. Therefore, even if it is a layup with a score The Nets are behind, but at the stage when the Thunder's two minors are already convulsed, it is already a very good performance to be able to fight like this with the Thunder.

When the hand feeling is not good, it can make continuous fouls and stabilize the point difference at an appropriate distance. Once the hand feeling comes, the Thunder and Young can beat any opponent to death. At least judging from the first quarter of the game, Stevens' tactics were considered a success?

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder also replaced Westbrook, Durant, and two old Nets players Jeremy Lin and Simmons.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder also replaced Westbrook, Durant, and two old Nets players Jeremy Lin and Simmons.

After these two players were traded to the Thunder by the Nets. On the whole, it is a joy and a worry. Simmons went from the Nets' sixth choice on the wing to the Thunder, and transformed into Durant's number one backup. Jeremy Lin, who is expected to bring bench scoring, is facing problems such as a sharp decrease in playing time and insufficient possession of the ball. This is not surprising, at least for now, 90% of the Thunder's possession of the ball in regular time is in the hands of the Thunder's two juniors. It is too unfriendly to a player like Jeremy Lin who needs to find his status through dribbling!
