The Way of the Center

Brandon Jennings was selected by the Bucks with the 10th overall pick this year. He has become the "most underrated" rookie among the fans through his performance. ??

Although his average of 15.2 points per game is indeed high among rookies, his average of 14.8 shots per game is also a right that others do not have.

On the surface, Jennings seems to be very powerful, but in fact his high scores are all thanks to his many shots. This situation is really very similar to Westbrook who is now lying in front of him.

The game has entered the fourth quarter, and the Bucks are 15 points behind. But Jennings and his teammates are not willing to give up the game, they believe that 15 points can be moved back with just one attack.

Michael Reed ran to the corner and asked for the ball. Jennings glanced at Reed but didn't respond.

"Damn it!" Reed knew that after a guard turned 30 years old, his own time was running out. The Bucks would choose Jennings, and a large part of the reason was to replace him who was getting old.

In fact, after Jennings joined, Reed still played a lot of good shots under the pressure of this young man. For example, in this game, he scored 22 points on Sefoloza. However, Jennings has fallen in love with Westbrook now, and he hopes to use his ability to defeat the guy in front of him who is only one level higher than himself.

"You shouldn't do this." Bucks small forward Luke Richard Mbah a Moute shook his head silently. He was teammates with Westbrook in college. The Cyclones. Mbah a Moute knows that once Westbrook gets emotional, it will be difficult to beat.

At least now Jennings is not the guy who can beat Westbrook.

But Jennings doesn't care about these. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Jennings just wants to make trouble on this No. 0 guard. Because of the previous game, he has been blown away by Westbrook.

Westbrook was in a very brave state in this game. Everyone was surprised by this guy who suddenly exploded, except of course, Anjie.

"Jennings' third mistake of the game! Westbrook steals the ball, he's going to push it forward!" Milwaukee's on-site commentator shouted angrily.

Jennings and Mbah a Moute quickly chased back, Westbrook was as fast as lightning, but the impact of these two people should not be underestimated.

When Westbrook made his way into the lane, he leaped lightly and handed the ball up the backboard. At the same time, Jennings and Mbah a Moute take off at the same time, but they miss because the ball is not going to the basket.

After refracting on the backboard,

The ball flew to the other side of the basket. At this moment, Durant stood up, grabbed the rebounded basketball, and dunked with one hand to score!

"Beautiful aerial coordination, Westbrook can not only score himself, but also help his teammates to score today, which is very similar to him at the beginning of the season. I believe his wonderful alley-oop with Ann in the middle of the second quarter, and also Let everyone have more fun!" Mike Breen saw all the changes in Westbrook, and today he reduced some aggressive attacks and increased some passes. The fact is, his efficiency has improved so much that he has completely surpassed Jennings by several levels.

The point difference became 17 points, and Bucks coach Scott Skiles had to come forward to obstruct it, telling Jennings to let the ball run and not let the ball just go to his own point.

"Good job guys." Angie gave Westbrook and Durant a thumbs up when they returned to their own half-court defense.

The three thunderbolts are the most powerful when they explode together, and the unlucky Bucks just hit the day when the three of them exploded collectively.

Bogut has scored the team's second-highest 20 points, but the price is that he took 19 shots and only hit 8 goals.

Anjie's defense made this Australian tough guy very uncomfortable. Even his shooting percentage as an inside player is so bad, let alone others.

Except for Michael Reid, the shooting percentage of the Bucks can be described as horrible. Their second unit combined made just 11 of 31 shots.

Jennings began to pass the ball, and Michael Reid hoped to lead the team to counterattack. But at the age of 30, he really can't compare with what he was back then. Facing the younger Thunder three young masters, the current Reed is also powerless.

In the last three minutes and fifty seconds of the game, Van Gundy replaced the entire Thunder lineup with confidence. This season, the Thunder have played countless times in garbage time, and now many teams in the NBA cannot compete with the Thunder.

113 to 97, the Thunder slaughtered the Bucks in Milwaukee in the first game of the first decade of the century.

Only 46 of 106 shots were made, which is the biggest reason for the disappointment of the Bucks.

Today Durant's score once again exceeded 30, but this will no longer surprise people, because Durant has already told everyone with his actions: He is this kind of top-level player.

Anjie scored 26 points and 15 rebounds, another exaggerated large double-double. Although Bogut scored only three points less than Anjie, the performance of the two is very obvious.

Durant ranks second in scoring behind James, and Anjie ranks third in rebounding following Howard and Camby.

If everyone is accustomed to the excellent performance of these two people, then Westbrook's sudden explosion is the "x factor" of the Thunder today.

He scored 29 points on 12-of-18 shooting and dished out 13 assists. After a slump in the second half of December, Westbrook finally got his game back. The three young men teamed up and scored 86 points for the Thunder, which shows their power.

The Thunder's three juniors in perfect condition, even last year's No. 1 pick, Derrick Rose, couldn't stop them.

Rose's performance as a rookie last year was undoubtedly very good. Except for the rookie of the year award being snatched away by Anjie, Rose achieved almost all the achievements he could get.

The most important thing is that in his first year with the team, he led the Bulls back to the playoffs. This point, not even the Thunder Three Young Masters could do it.

However, two days after the Thunder defeated the Bucks, the mighty Rose also became another victim of the three young men.

In addition to strong offensive firepower, the Thunder still continued their airtight defense in this game.

On the offensive end, the Thunder's three young players can score 86 points with their talent, while on the defensive end, Van Gundy will give this group of young people an advantage.

Although Derek Rose wasn't the kind of person who was very vengeful, he still had a bitter heart about the fact that An Jie stole the Rookie of the Year award.

He hopes to use his performance to tell others that the award should belong to him. However, under the joint efforts of Westbrook and Angie, although Rose scored a team-high 19 points, he still failed to let the Bulls win.

The Thunder's defense allowed the Bulls to shoot just 35 percent overall, making 35 of 99 shots. Except for Rose who can barely cope with the joint blocking of Westbrook and Anjie, the rest of the Bulls simply cannot play at this level under such a defense.

"Spring Man" Tyrus Thomas was expected to be squeezed to the bench by Joakim Noah this season. He originally thought that he would be able to play excellent numbers without Anjie playing, but the appearance of Morris made Thomas Hope broken.

Under the defense of Morris, Thomas made only 3 of 12 shots as an inside player. It is no wonder that he will be taken away by Noah.

98 to 85, the Thunder once again won the game with a gap of more than ten.

The Thunder's three young players still controlled the entire game. Except for the three of them, no one in the Thunder team scored in double figures. It was not because the performance of the others was not good, but because the performance of the three of them was really good. Most of the ball was taken to them, and the others didn't get many opportunities.

Westbrook 29 points, Durant 25 points, Anjie 19 points and 8 rebounds. When people were frightened by the strong performance of the Thunder's three young men, they realized that the Thunder had won seven consecutive victories and ranked sixth in the Western Conference! Even the San Antonio Spurs are behind them.

The Thunder, which was originally predicted to be just on the edge of the playoffs, undoubtedly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Anjie adjusted Westbrook's mood and state, and Durant silently convinced everyone with his performance. Van Gundy continued to use his hard work to make it easier for this group of young people.

Seven consecutive victories? It's just the beginning of the Thunder's midway season! (To be continued.) 8
