Chapter 451: The Thunder scored 20 points in the third quarter in their first game, which was a good start!
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
After Anderson struck iron, Richardson continued to play music and then struck iron.
Is it a rotation battle?
In fact, the Magic team is the real rotation battle.
The Thunder has three top perimeter players in Su Bei, Harden, and Sefolosha. Do you call this a rotation?
Pooh!
What a bully!
No clue, it should be said that the management has indeed wasted the Thunder's full talent pool, but it was also selected based on strength and wasted based on strength.
"Su Bei made an air cut and found a cover, but the defense was still switched to keep up.
Harden was closely entangled by Duhon, which was of no use. The Magic's point guard line was trash.
With Nelson having 183 losses, he actually chose Du Hong, who had 185 losses in the same style, to test his own defense with this double-drain combination?
Who can withstand the test of such an old 6 combination?
The Thunder's Harden was not used to him either. After being pushed close to him, he used his body and elbows to squeeze out the space, then continued to break through with the ball. Then, facing a double attack, he distributed the ball to the outside.
The direction is not Jiangsu Bei, but Sefolosha. Outside the three-point line on the right, he catches the ball, jumps up, and raises his hand to shoot a three-point jumper..."
JJ Redick's original defense was to give away points, but he wanted to wipe Duhong's ass.
When he turned around and returned to defense, he found that it was his own butt that was spanked. He could only bet that Sefolosha would be gentle and would only rub it outside.
Swish——!
It seems like no one can shoot three-pointers.
Sefolosha can also shoot three-pointers, but killing is not a game.
However, when placed in the rotation lineup, it is a dimensionality reduction blow.
The score difference reached double digits.
Finally, Richardson stepped forward, took the ball and beat Jiangsu Bei, using all his strength, he reached the paint area, attracted the defense, and threw the basketball away.
Ryan Anderson in the left corner caught the ball, jumped up, and hit a three-point jumper, which prevented the Magic's offense from being so ugly.
The point difference is still 8 points.
Four minutes into the second quarter, it was the Thunder that couldn't sit still. Scott Brooks waved his hand and replaced Durant, Westbrook and Yin Baka, replacing Sefolosha.
Collison and Muhammad.
At this time, the Thunder's lineup has become the Thunder's fourth young player, Su Bei.
For the Magic, Stan Van Gundy only used Turkoglu and replaced JJ Redick.
Howard is still on the bench. After all, he played the entire first quarter, let's let the bullets fly for a while and see!
At this time, the Magic's lineup included Glen Davis, Ryan Anderson, Turkoglu, Richardson, and Duhon.
The Magic have no star players, but everyone has heard of them. There is really no way to compare with the Thunder's three MVP-level players, one defensive team and one high-level role player with a lot of trouble.
The Magic's only chance of winning is to bully the Thunder for being too young.
Turkoglu controlled the field, dribbled the ball forward, and was immediately flanked by Su Bei.
This person deserves to be called a magician. After all, the Turkish magician is also a magician!
"Herkoglou is another unique move. Instead of playing with Durant's skills, he plays with physical strength and becomes a reckless person who is 'good at horse racing'.
Durant really couldn't stand it alone. Su Bei had just come to help defend, and the basketball was immediately handed to Ryan Anderson, who came in through an air cut, and shot a two-point jumper..."
Su Bei rushed back, but it was too late.
No problem, he also wants to be a good person, but Durant won't do it.
He can only fill this trap, or he can only get shot. This is the fate of role players.
Bang-dang——!
"Ryan Anderson's two-point jumper went up.
Hey, Glen Davis grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately passed the ball out. Ryan Anderson continued to make a two-point jumper...
Bang-dang——!
It's just a little bit of luck.
It cannot be said to be similar to Lewis's style, it can only be said to be exactly the same, both are unstable power forwards that take advantage of the shooting touch.
What the hell?
It’s the big baby Davis again, continuing to grab offensive rebounds. This time he chose to grab and shoot himself, and took a quick shot from the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Davis's last-ditch attack at Chi Chi still missed.
"Su Bei grabbed the rebound and rushed up with the ball to counterattack. After being caught up by Richardson, he immediately passed the ball to Westbrook on the other side. The latter took two dribbling steps and immediately pushed with both hands. Sent to Durant in the frontcourt.
After receiving the ball, he took two big steps and jumped up. Duhong, who returned to the frontcourt to defend, could only run away embarrassedly in order not to become a backdrop, watching as Durant completed the one-handed dunk in the counterattack..."
Bang-dang——!
Really worthless!
The Thunder team charged up, with their physical talents and attributes fully loaded, they were so terrifying, plain and simple.
Use your talents to kill randomly.
For three consecutive years, the draft has produced the best player in the lottery. What do you use to top it?
You can't stand it.
The score difference came to 10 points.
Outside the court, Stan Van Gundy shouted to the court to stand up and stand up, and asked Howard and Nelson to stand up and prepare to play.
"Tekoglu lobbed the ball to Davis and hit Yin Baka. Su Bei and Durant both shrank and surrounded Davis.
】
Unable to attack, unable to pass, the ball was about to be lost, so Su Bei reached out and broke the basketball.
Snapped--!
Davis used a foul to destroy Su Bei's possibility of a quick counterattack.
Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Magic made substitutions..."
Davis and Duhon were replaced. At this time, all the Magic's top five players returned to play tonight.
"The Thunder had the ball, Westbrook brought the ball upfield, and everyone spread out.
From the left three-point corner, Su Bei cut to the basket and moved to the right with Yin Baka's cover. At the same time, Harden also moved to the left.
Ryan Anderson was stunned.
He is a power forward, and it is outrageous to be a defensive forward. Now the opponent has to play a screen. After playing the screen, why should he run around outside?
He is already confused about who he is guarding against..."
Su Bei ran to the right side of the 45-yard three-point line and found it was completely empty. He immediately shouted "This way" and Westbrook passed the ball.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Receive the ball, jump up, ignore the block shot from the side by the 183-year-old Nelson, raise your hand and shoot a three-point jumper...
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei showed no mercy and steadily hit the open three-pointer.
"Beautiful, the Thunder's offense is really undefendable with its one-year-old and four-small lineup.
Originally, the Thunder's three young masters were present, and their offensive attributes were already at full capacity.
Now we also add Su Bei who is excellent without the ball and accurate in three-pointers..."
Is there any royal law?
Are there any laws?
The main force has just returned and wants to chase 13 points, which is too shameful.
Since the Thunder won't give face, the Magic won't either.
"Tekoglu lobbed the ball to Howard in the low post and used the ball to crush Yinbaka.
After Su Bei and Durant retreated to defend, Howard immediately passed the ball back to Turkoglu, lifted the ball and took aim from outside the three-point line.
When Durant made the save, he immediately went in again.
Howard took the ball, recklessly drove away Yin Baka, and forced the attack to the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Once again, they were so close to the same place that Howard's attempt to attack the basket failed to hit.
Fortunately, Howard's physical talent is so strong that he bounced off the offensive rebound in quick succession.
"The Magic are in a hurry, and it's another offensive opportunity for the Magic.
Howard didn't wave, he passed the ball to Ryan Anderson in the left corner, received the ball, and shot a three-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came up, and Ryan Anderson's three-pointer was useless.
The Magic's offense hit hard again.
"Harden got the rebound and took the ball to counterattack.
Durant, Westbrook and Su Bei all took steps and rushed forward.
Harden rushed to the top of the arc and was guarded by Nelson Jr., who suddenly dribbled the ball in and broke through.
Nelson fought and retreated, trying to block Harden's path in the frontcourt. Harden seemed to have predicted his opponent's movements, pulled the ball up, and Euro-stepped for a layup.
Nelson reached out and made a gambling steal, but failed..."
Beep——!
Bang-dang——!
After being fouled, Harden failed to make a layup. As the whistle sounded, he got two free throw opportunities.
Swish——!
Swish——!
No mercy, Harden continued to use his foul-drawing skills to steadily score points at the free throw line.
The point difference widened to 15 points.
Off the court, Stan Van Gundy kept walking around on the sidelines, his face flushed, but all the cards in his hand had been played, and all he could hope for was: You have to stand up!
"Howard continued to attack the inside and was flanked again.
Howard distributed the ball. This time, it was Richardson who caught the ball and shot a two-point jumper...
Bang-dang——!
still none!
The Magic's main offensive tactic is to shoot from one star to the other. To put it bluntly, it is a rush-shooting tactic.
Now that the investment is gone, no matter how much we grab, there is still no room for action..."
"Westbrook got the rebound and rushed forward with the ball.
The basketball was immediately handed to Durant's hands after halftime.
Outside the three-point line on the left, he caught the ball, stepped forward, and put his feet back. Just when Turkoglu thought Durant would try again, Durant had already taken the ball up and hit a three-pointer with his hand.
Take a jump shot..."
Turkoglu made the save, but it was of no use.
If you ask me, it means that my talent will kill me, which is unreasonable.
All that's left is to bet that Durant's three-point pistol is out of bullets.
Swish——!
Wrong guess, Durant's three-point pistol has bullets in it.
"too strong!
The Magic were beaten.
The two sides are not competing on the same level.
One is at the playoff level, and the other is at the championship level. The difference is not even a billion points.
Especially since the Magic haven't taken a shot yet, but if they can't make a shot or grab a rebound, the Thunder will immediately rush to counterattack.
Su Bei, Harden, Westbrook...the three of them get the ball and rush forward by themselves. They can rush to the basket, draw fouls, and make three-pointers..."
It’s really unworthy!
If you need to shoot, you need to shoot, and if you need talent, what can you use to top it off?
The point difference became 18 points.
The game was immediately ruined.
Who would have thought that just halfway through the second quarter, there would be no more games to play.
The timeout is just for show, so that others can know that the head coach is working hard to find a solution.
All that can be done is to sprinkle some chicken soup and encourage the morale of the players. The only thing left is to believe that God is on their side.
After the game came back, Nelson dribbled the ball in and broke through, and Howard pulled out to cover.
When Yin Baka defended, the Thunder's basket was indeed empty.
"Nelson Jr. made a layup and finally scored two points.
The point difference is still 16 points.
Next, let’s see how the Magic’s defense looks like?
The Thunder's offense was very simple. Su Bei and Harden pulled to the corners on both sides, and Westbrook passed the ball to Durant to challenge Turkoglu.
After the three threats took a step, they put their feet back, lifted the ball, waited for Turkoglu to save it, and immediately broke through from the left. When Turkoglu fought and retreated, Durant slapped the basketball from his left hand to his right hand and changed direction.
Dribbling to the right, Turkoglu's center of gravity is already somewhat unbalanced, but of course, it's not important.
When he reached the free throw line, Durant took the ball and shot a two-point pull-up jumper..."
Swish——!
The knife falls from the hand!
Durant turned around and raised his fists.
Outside the stadium, cheers and shouts rang out like huge waves and tsunami.
On the bench, the players also jumped up and waved towels in celebration.
This goal is very likely to have knocked away the Magic's hope of reversal.
At this time, Durant was in "death mode", killing gods and ghosts, and was unstoppable.
Durant is in great shape, but the Magic's perimeter still failed to open up the situation.
Turkoglu's mid-range shot hit the mark.
Afterwards, they had no choice but to attack and replaced Ryan Anderson, who was in poor condition, with JJ Redick.
However, the gap between talent and strength cannot be solved by substitution, especially the Magic's rushing shot tactics, which have not yet been able to make a shot.
The Magic continue to be beaten.
"It's Durant again. He feinted a shot from the outside, broke through with the ball, made an emergency stop for two points from close range, and hit the ball with the same accuracy."
…
"Durant became the most beautiful kid, dribbling the ball and causing Turkoglu to foul.
Bang-dang——!
It's a pity that we couldn't score 2 1, but Durant, who was crazy about killing, was still unstoppable!
"
…
In the second quarter, Durant made 4 of 6 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, leading the Thunder to a shock wave against the Magic in the second quarter.
At the end of the first half, the Thunder beat the Magic at halftime and took a 20-point lead.
Durant made 6 of 11 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 16 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds. He was so powerful as a superstar.
Su Bei made 6 of 8 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 15 points and 3 rebounds. His performance was just okay.
Harden made 2 of 5, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, scored 14 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. He was able to score 9 points in the first half by drawing fouls. Are you afraid of that?
Although Westbrook only scored 2 of 8, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 5 points, he was able to contribute 5 assists and 4 rebounds, which was quite a triple-double.
The Thunder played like this, and it was not unfair for the Magic to be beaten at halftime.
The question is not that we are too weak, but that the other party is too strong.
After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, the second half of the game started with music playing and then playing.
Trailing by 20 points, the Magic played very tough and kept pushing in.
“Don’t grab three points, grab one or two points.
The Thunder's lineup of four and four can't stop the Magic's attack on the basket.
You can only send it to the free throw line with a foul..."
While Hong Kong really can't stand it, the Thunder don't want to stand it either!
The lead is too much, and it doesn't make much sense whether it's true that it's 20 points or 30 points ahead.
The suspended season has a dense schedule. For the Thunder, which has ambitious goals, winning the game without injury is enough.
Massacre is really unnecessary.
Subei played more than 6 minutes in the third quarter, making 1 of 2 three-point shots, and then 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 5 points. After collecting 20 points, they clocked out for the third quarter.
The Magic's outside shooters still had no baskets in the third quarter. They only made 5 of 18 shots and 1 of 5 three-point shots. With such a shooting percentage, how can they chase 20 points?
The game becomes garbage time.
It was garbage time, Durant continued to play, and after enough hits, he scored 18 points in the second half and 34 points in the game before he was willing to take a rest.
He really doesn't care if Hong Kong is competing for the scoring title, as long as he is a homebody and full of energy. Scarlett didn't give him water to wash his feet. It's reasonable to want to exercise more on the court!
Harden made 3 of 7 in the second half and only 1 of 3 free throws, scoring 8 points. In addition to the 14 points in the first half, he scored 22 points.
Westbrook scored 9 points in the second half and scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 turnovers. There was no sewer work. It is really not easy to get a triple-double.
Howard made 4 of 12 free throws and 8 rebounds from the free throw line. He didn't have any superstar look or scoring ability. That's called a stretch.
Turkoglu made 3 of 10 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 8 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds. The decline in form is a serious one.
In addition, the Magic made 8 of 28 three-point shots. With such a shooting percentage, how can they compete with the championship-level Thunder?
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
According to the score, the Thunder defeated the Magic with a 23-point advantage and got a good start to the regular season.
Su Bei's mediocre performance of 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the first three quarters of the Thunder's debut was a good start.
