Chapter 137 A Strong Enemy Appears!
The Oklahoma City Thunder, one of the tridents of the Western World.
Although they have been unable to aspire to the championship, the Thunder have almost never missed the playoffs.
And it is known as the touchstone of the western world.
Because the Thunder will lose to the Western Conference champions of the year almost every year.
Due to the weakness of the striker, the Thunder got the No. 5 pick through a trade.
And in this year's draft, super rookie Carl Durant was selected.
Together with Reggie Westbrook, the top five point guards in the league, they form the Goose City Twins.
Plus heavy insider Adams.
The Thunder are by no means a team to be underestimated.
For the Warriors who are currently short of major generals, it is even extremely challenging.
A few days later, San Francisco, Chase Center.
The game between the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder finally started.
Unlike previous Jazz games.
Before this game, the Warriors players swept away the previous haze, and their fighting spirit was very high.
"Now announce the starting lineup. Starting center Rooney."
"Starting power forward DJ. Green"
"Starting small forward Wiggins"
"Starting shooting guard Harris"
"Starting point guard."
Suddenly, Coach Poole paused, looked at Lin Changan on the bench, and hooked him.
"Lin! Come here!"
Coach Poole's actions made the whole team excited.
"Oh oh oh!"
"You've been called by name, Lin!"
"Hurry up and go up!"
Lin Changan was pushed back by his teammates in a state of bewilderment.
Coach Poole also smiled slightly, looked at Lin Changan and said.
"Lin! You are the starting point guard!"
After Coach Poole finished speaking, his teammates applauded and congratulated, and Mitchell even blew his whistle.
"Coach, you let me start?"
"That's right!"
Lin Changan was overwhelmed by flattery, and was so happy that he didn't know what to say
You must know that although Lin Changan played in the first two games, he played as a substitute.
Today's game is Lin Changan's first NBA career start, it is worth commemorating.
"Fight well, kill Lei Ting!"
Coach Pu Er patted Lin Changan on the shoulder.
"Of course, I'm not going to let the Thunder go home laughing!"
Facing the rookie of Coach Poole, Lin Changan was flattered and vowed not to let Coach Poole down.
As for the Thunder, before the game even started, they started making moves.
At the press conference before the game, Thunder coach Donovan said something.
Adams is a little unwell today and may not be able to play.
Originally, this news was good news for the Warriors.
After all, Rooney, the insider of the Warriors, is a bit weaker than Adams of the Thunder.
After all, Adams is taller and stronger than Rooney, and has first-class ability to protect the frame.
Rooney's only advantage may be his flexible feet.
However, when warming up before the game, Adams was in full swing for shooting drills.
It seems that this Donovan has few truths in his mouth.
It is estimated that they want to use this smoke bomb to disturb the morale of the Warriors!
Coach Poole, of course, would not easily fall for Donovan's tricks.
The original starting lineup remains unchanged.
Sure enough, after the Thunder's starting lineup was released, Adams was still among them.
Thunder starting lineup:
The starting center, inside behemoth Adams (S+).
Starting Power Forward, Spatial No. [-] Ball (S)
Starting small forward, super rookie Carl Durant (S)
Starting shooting guard, excellent 3-and-D player Williams (S)
Starting point guard, Westbrook (SS) with the best style of play
Of course, Lin Chang'an knew that there was a super sixth man ambush on the Thunder's bench that no one could ignore.
Bearded Harden.
Although at this time, he has not really shined.
But if you underestimate this bearded man, there is a high probability that you will be severely cut by his sharp edge.
Judging from the lineup on paper.
This Thunder team is probably the strongest opponent Lin Changan has encountered since landing in the NBA.
So Canon Curry and Aaron Thompson both came to watch.
The game starts, both sides jump the ball in the middle circle.
Surprisingly, Rooney actually won the jump ball over Adams' head
The Warriors got the ball, and Lin Changan began to organize the first attack.
The Thunder players appeared to be unhurried, and one after another settled down to defend the first.
And defending Lin Changan was the Thunder's point guard Westbrook.
Lin Changan carefully analyzed this player yesterday.
The style of the game is explosive, the breakthrough is sharp, and the style of play is very popular.
But this also shows that he is a stunned youth, his skills are not delicate enough, he plays recklessly, and is easy to get ahead.
This is also reflected in his defensive ability.
Considering his own physical problems, Lin Changan decided to play more steadily in the first attack.
We must cherish offensive opportunities and try our best to hit the success rate.
The further the game is played, the more physical strength is required.
Lin Changan held the ball in a high position, and DJ Green stepped forward to pick and roll.
At this moment, Lin Changan took the opportunity to move laterally, and then easily entered the penalty area.
Westbrook, who was blocked by DJ Green's thick body, instantly lost Lin Changan's defensive position.
Seeing Westbrook lost his position, Thunder power forward Ball quickly filled his position.
"Just in time!"
At this time, DJ Green seemed to have a good understanding with Lin Changan, and he unpacked and went straight to the basket.
Lin Changan's quick crotch dribble instantly attracted the defender's attention.
Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Lin Changan waved his little hand, and the basketball was hit and passed to DJ Green's hands.
DJ. Green didn't hesitate, jumped high and blasted the frame vigorously.
Seeing that the Warriors are about to get off to a good start.
A huge dark blue figure in between covered DJ Green in the air.
"Snapped"
The basketball dropped.
DJ. Green's slam dunk, which was bound to be won, was blocked abruptly.
It's Adams!
Adams easily blocked DJ Green's dunk.
Aquaman really is Aquaman, facing the boiling bench, Adams has a serious face.
As if to say, these are some small scenes, not worth mentioning.
The altered basketball fell into Durant's hands, and without a moment's hesitation he passed the ball to Westbrook.
Obviously, Durant played a lot more selflessly after the NCAA Finals.
After receiving the ball, Westbrook sprinted with all his strength.
"Back to defense!"
Lin Changan immediately shouted loudly.
Although the teammates returned the visit very promptly, they were very quick.
But it's a pity that Westbrook's speed is too fast.
Like a Ferrari.
Facing the Warriors players a few meters behind him, Westbrook did not slow down at all.
Accelerate dunks between!
The Thunder scored the first two-pointer of the field.
And after the Thunder team scored, no one had any excited expressions on their faces.
As if all this is normal.
Perhaps only a team with this kind of temperament can be regarded as the real top power in the league.
Although he was an opponent, Lin Changan still couldn't help sighing secretly.
[This game must be a fierce battle! 】
