The Way of the Center

Jeff Green gritted his teeth and looked at An Jie. This damn guy actually obliterated his dunk without mercy, and even made such an arrogant celebration in public!

Even Durant can't play wild in the sleep train arena! Jeff Green vowed to make this Chinese pay for what he did!

Kevin Martin knew that hitting the three-second zone guarded by Anjie was tantamount to suicide. This time, he ignored Jeff Green who ran out of position. Martin didn't plan to hand over the ball until that guy calmed down. .

Without a pick-and-roll, Kevin Martin passed the ball to Salmons and slid to the other corner.

"Damn it!" Jeff Green saw Kevin Martin running like this, and knew that this attack had nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, after a series of off-ball pick-and-rolls, Wilkins' defense was greatly delayed.

Kevin Martin received a pass from Salmons as soon as he was in position. He made a three-pointer with a strange posture, but it was very accurate.

"Kevin Martin stole the limelight from the rookies. He used his actions to tell these rookies that it's not your turn to dominate the game!"

Killed from the start. Martin seemed to be in excellent form. Due to the team's poor performance, this guy has not received much attention, but his scoring ability is definitely not inferior to those familiar stars, let alone when he feels hot.

The offense is done, and the Kings now have to strengthen their defense.

In the first offense, Westbrook sent an assist easily, because everyone in the Kings didn't expect him to pass the ball. After all, under the normal process, Westbrook and Durant will take the lead in attacking at the beginning of the game.

But today is different. Today the Chinese rookie is very motivated, and his teammates seem very willing to pass him the ball.

Seeing Anjie go directly to the low post, the Kings firmly believed that Anjie was still the Thunder's offensive point. Anjie fell to the low position. This is a vivid signal, which means that the Thunder will mainly attack inside!

Sure enough, Westbrook's false and true pass made Anjie get the basketball again, and Anjie did not disappoint the players of the Kings. He relied on Hawes and hit his back!

"Come on, shrink a little more." An Jie didn't go back with all his strength, he looked around quickly with his eyes, and now the entire Kings team is focusing on him for defense. Although Kings center Spencer Hawes is about the same height and weight as Anjie,

But the Kings still don't have the confidence to rely on him alone to guard against the Chinese who even O'Neill is struggling.

"Coach Jeff Van Gundy's tactics are very interesting. As soon as he played, he let An play in a low post. Does he want to achieve a revenge battle for An An? If so, then Coach Jeff Van Gundy is too humane."

Of course, this was arranged by Jeff Van Gundy, but the tactics he arranged were not low-post singles, and Anjie was just a smoke bomb. As the Kings lineup shrinks and focuses on protecting the rim, Durant and Westbrook have more and more room to shoot.

"Ann turned around! Jeff Green wrapped it up, he won't just watch this Chinese do whatever he wants in the paint!"

At present, it seems that the strategy of the Kings is correct, and Anjie has fallen into the siege of Hawes and Jeff Green. But Kings fans seem to have forgotten that this guy came from their favorite center Divac.

At the moment when the turn was about to be completed, An Jie started to pass the ball!

Durant rushed through Joe Smith's off-ball pick-and-roll, and when he caught a pass from Ainger, he didn't have any defenders two steps away.

"Durant's mid-range and long-range shots are good, and Anjie passed the ball beautifully." The commentator of ccTV is really not flattering this time. Anjie's ball transfer is very good, and the timing and quality of the pass All well controlled.

Durant and An Jie high-fived. This Chinese big man will never forget his teammates who are in the open. At this point, Durant is really ashamed.

What is the scariest thing about the Thunder? It's not Westbrook's crazy breakthrough, it's not Kevin Durant's omnipotent offense, and it's not Anjie's rich means in the low post. If you ask the Spurs this question, **Vich will definitely answer you. The most terrifying thing about the Thunder is that the above three things are combined into one! It was the explosion of those three young people at the same time!

"Russell Westbrook! Incredible dunk! My God! He dunked Jeff Green abruptly!" Mike Breen was completely conquered by Westbrook's impact and explosive power. A guard with a height of only 1.91 meters forced a dunk in front of Jeff Green!

After Anjie played with the ball on the left side of the low post, Westbrook suddenly got rid of Salmons' defense and cut in.

Anjie didn't turn around, but made a pass to the ground in a post-up state, giving the rushing Westbrook a chance to attack.

Seeing this, Jeff Green immediately went to the basket to block it, but he never expected that the point guard would choose to take off and dunk directly, and it succeeded! Jeff Green knew that Westbrook was full of impact before, but he didn't expect that this "full" level had reached the point where he couldn't stop it!

The excited Anjie pushed Westbrook hard, and Westbrook's adrenaline also soared with the dunk. He tried his best to bump into An Jie to show his response, and kept chanting words.

"A ball was blocked and a ball was humiliated by Westbrook. I think Jeff Green must be very upset right now."

The commentator's analysis was correct. He, Jeff Green, was one of the top five rookies in the O7 class. He was selected to the rookie first team last year. Based on his experience with the Thunder, Westbrook And An Jie had to call him senior. But now, these two Thunder rookies are mercilessly making a big fuss about themselves! Anyone who changes will inevitably be angry.

"Don't care about them, Jeff! I believe you can fight back!" The leader of the Kings, Kevin Martin, knew that the biggest thing young people have in common is that they can't suffer. He hurried to comfort Jeff Green, lest this originally outstanding ability The guy is blinded by anger.

Jeff Green's face-up and back-to-the-basket attacks are excellent, which makes Joe Smith tired of coping. After Kevin Martin's deliberate transfer, the basketball came to Jeff Green many times, and Green also scored frequently on Smith's head.

But even so, Thunder's third young master's attack was not suppressed at all. When the three were twisted into one rope, nothing could cut it.

With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Jeff Van Gundy replaced the three Thunder players at the same time, 27 to 20. The Thunder's fierce offense overshadowed Jeff Green, who had already performed well.

Durant looked indifferent on the bench, but Anjie and Westbrook were still gnashing their teeth and staring at the players on the field. These two guys were completely mobilized by themselves. They are eager to fight, eager to score, eager to go out on the court and lead the team to victory.

However, under Van Gundy's strict rotation strategy, the Thunder's three young players did not appear again until the end of the first quarter. 33 to 26, the Thunder's second team held a seven-point advantage to the end.

Kenny Wright was unable to lay out a clear defensive strategy with the tactical board. If it was Durant, Westbrook or Angie who played alone, it would not be a problem. But this is only the first quarter, and the three of them have successfully connected!

Guard, forward, center, the Thunder exploded at the same time at three levels. It's not that there is no solution, it's just that Kenny Wright really can't think of a useful strategy at his level.

"Cunning Presti!" The general manager of the Kings became more frustrated as he watched the game. At first Presti was willing to use Jeff Green as a bargaining chip. The general manager of the Kings thought he had made a lot of money. As a result, now, Green, who overlaps with Durant, has been removed, and he has joined the powerful insider that the Thunder urgently needs. On the contrary, Presti's trade has made the entire team's strength rise by leaps and bounds.

Under his operation, the Kings are still struggling at the bottom of the Western Conference, and he has also received a lot of infamy for trading out Anjie! Why! Is his operation really that unbearable! ?

"Give me more strength!" The general manager of the Kings is eager to go down and talk to the players in person, so that they can burst out 120% of their abilities! In this game, no matter what, you can't lose!

Although the Thunder beat the Kings with a strong performance in the first quarter, the passion for the game between the two sides is still burning tirelessly!

The game between the two teams in the next three quarters will only become more exciting.
