The Way of the Center

Chapter 126 : Add fuel to the fire

Jeff Green gritted his teeth and looked at An Jie, this **** guy actually ruthlessly obliterated his dunk, and also made such an arrogant celebration in public!

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

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

There was no pick-and-roll, Kevin Martin passed the ball to Salmons, and then he slipped the bottom line and ran to the bottom corner on the other side.

“Damn it!” Jeff Green saw Kevin Martin running like this, and he also knew that this offense had nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, after a series of ball-free picks and rolls, Wilkins’ defense was greatly delayed.

Kevin Martin received a pass from Salmons as soon as he was in place. He made a weird three-pointer, but he was very accurate.

“Kevin Martin grabbed the rookie’s limelight back, and he used his actions to tell these rookies that it is not your turn to rule!”

Killed at the start. Martin seems to be in a very good state. This guy has not received much attention due to the team’s poor performance, but his scoring ability is definitely not worse than those familiar stars, let alone when he feels hot.

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

On the first offense, Westbrook easily sent an assist, because everyone on the Kings didn’t expect him to pass the ball. After all, under the normal process, Westbrook and Durant will take the lead in the first attack.

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

Seeing An Jie go straight to the low post, the Kings firmly believed that An Jie was still the offensive point of the Thunder. An Jie dropped to a low post. This is a lively signal, which means that the Thunder will focus on the inside offense!

Sure enough, Westbrook’s false and unexpected pass made Anjie get the basketball again, and Anjie did not disappoint the Kings players. He leaned on Hawes and hit the back!

“Come on, shrink more.” An Jie didn’t go back with all his strength, his eyes were swiftly watching the surroundings, and now the entire Kings team focused on him defensively. Although the Kings center Spencer Hawes is about the same height and weight as An Jie, the Kings still have no confidence to defend against the Chinese who even O’Neal is struggling with.

“Coach Jeff Van Gundy’s tactics are very interesting. As soon as he comes out, he will let An play in low position. Does he want to be a revenge battle for Quan’an? If that’s the case, then Coach Jeff Van Gundy is too humane.”

This was of course arranged by Jeff Van Gundy, but the tactics he arranged were not low position singles, Anjie was just a smoke bomb. When the Kings lineup shrinks and protects the basket as the main task, Durant and Westbrook will have more and more shooting space.

“Ann turned around! Jeff Green wrapped up, he won’t just watch this Chinese do whatever he wants inside!”

It seems that the Kings’ strategy is correct, and Anjie has been trapped in the siege of Hawes and Jeff Green. But the Kings fans seem to have forgotten that this guy came from their favorite center, Divac.

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

Durant borrowed Joe Smith’s off-the-ball pick-and-roll and rushed in. When he received a pass from An Jie, he didn’t have any defensive players two steps away.

“Durant’s mid- and long-range shots, good shots, this ball is beautifully passed by Anjie.” The ccTV commentator is really not touting this time, Anjie’s transfer of the ball is very good, the timing and the quality of the pass are also All are well controlled.

Durant and An Jie high-five, this Chinese big man will never forget his teammates in the open position, Durant is really ashamed of this point.

What is the scariest thing about the Thunder? It’s not Westbrook’s crazy break, it’s not Kevin Durant’s all-around offense, or Anjie’s rich methods in the post. If you ask the Spurs this question, Vicki will definitely answer you. The most terrifying thing about the Thunder is the combination of the above three things! It was the three young people who exploded at the same time!

“Russell Westbrook! Unbelievable dunk! God! He forced Jeff Green!” Mike Brin has been completely conquered by Westbrook’s impact and explosiveness. A small guard with a height of only 1.91 meters actually dunks in front of Jeff Green!

After Angel held the ball on the left side of the low post, Westbrook suddenly got rid of Salmons’s defensive air cut and entered.

An Jie didn’t turn around, but in the back-playing state, he took the opportunity to pass the ball and let the rushing Westbrook get the opportunity to attack.

When Jeff Green saw this, he immediately made up to the basket to block, but he never expected that this point guard would choose to jump and dunk directly, and he succeeded! Jeff Green knew that Westbrook was full of impact before, but he didn’t expect this “full” level to be such a level that he couldn’t stop it when he rushed!

The excited Angel pushed Westbrook hard, and Westbrook’s adrenaline soared with the dunk. He struggled to collide with An Jie in response, still muttering 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 is correct. Jeff Green is also one of the top five rookies at the o7 level. At any rate, he is the one who was selected to the first team of last year’s rookies. He stayed with the Thunder’s experience, Westbrook. He and Anjie have to call him senior. But now, these two Thunder rookies are ruthlessly making a fuss about themselves! It is inevitable that no one will be angry after changing.

“Don’t care about them Jeff! I believe you can fight back!” The Kings leader Kevin Martin knew that the biggest thing the young people had in common was that they could not suffer. He hurried to comfort Jeff Green so as not to have this outstanding ability. The guy was blinded by anger.

Jeff Green’s face-to-rim offense and back-to-the-basket offense are very good, which makes Joe Smith struggling to cope. After Kevin Martin’s deliberate transfer, basketball has repeatedly come to Jeff Green, who also scored frequently on Smith.

But even so, the offense of the Thunder’s three minors has not been suppressed at all. When these three people are twisted into a rope, nothing can cut it.

With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Jeff Van Gundy also replaced the Thunder’s three minors, 27 to 2o. The Thunder’s fierce offense eclipsed the already outstanding Jeff Green.

Durant looked indifferent on the bench, but Anjie and Westbrook still gritted their teeth and stared at the players on the court. The emotions of these two guys were completely mobilized by themselves. They are eager to fight, eager to score, eager to go to the court to personally lead the team to victory.

However, under Van Gundy’s strict rotation strategy, the Thunder 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 a tactical board. If it was Durant, Westbrook or An Jie, it would not be a problem. But this is only the first quarter, and the three people have successfully connected!

Guard, forward, center, and the Thunder at all three levels exploded at the same time. It’s not that there is no solution, but for Kenny Wright, his level is really hard to think of a useful strategy Cunning Presti! “The Kings general manager watched the game more and more frustrated. At first, Presti was willing to use Jeff Green as a bargaining chip. The Kings general manager thought he had made a lot of money. As a result, the overlap with Durant has been eliminated. Green, joined the strong inside of the Thunder team’s desperate need, Presti’s trade has made the entire team’s strength have risen by leaps and bounds.

Under his operation, the Kings are still struggling at the bottom of the Western Conference, and they have suffered a lot of infamy because of the deal with An Jie! Why! Is his operation really that unbearable! ?

“Give me harder!” The general manager of the Kings was eager to go down and talk to the players in person, and let them burst out 12o% of their ability! You can’t lose this game no matter what!

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

The next three quarters of the two teams will only become more exciting.
