"Ding, gain the favorability value of contractor Durant, which is worth 1,000!
"Ding, gain the favorability value of Westbrook the Turtle at 888!
"Ding, gain the favorability value of Harden, the porcelain emperor, 666!
"Ding, harvest Howard the Warcraft's rage value of 999!
“Ding, harvest the Turkish magician Turkoglu’s rage value of 777!
"..."... After returning home and typing out the message prompt, Su Bei couldn't help but shake his head even though there was no emotion on his face.
"It's too shabby! This is the first time? Maybe they really think that the Thunder don't need me to play well in the regular season! A darling like Durant, unless they can help him drink and wash his feet Water, otherwise it is basically impossible to generate a lot of favorable feelings towards him. Westbrook is in a contract year, and one more Su Bei will mean one less opportunity to perform. It's a damn thing if you have any good impressions of him. Fortunately, I have lost touch with the interest of data, and I don’t care whether I am given more or less..." He is what he is today, thanks to his own efforts!
Thinking of this, Su Bei felt much happier and became more active in eating midnight snacks. A night of silence. At noon the next day, Su Bei flew to Minnesota with the team to challenge the next opponent in back-to-back away games.
Night falls. Target Center Arena. At this time, the home court of the Timberwolves is about to meet the challenge of the Thunder to kick off the home opener of the 11/12 season. The lights are bright and there is a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Durant and Beasley chatted about one dollar. The two are at odds, and Beasley is Durant's white moonlight. Durant's goal is to align with Beasley.
Westbrook also chatted with Love for a few cents. The two are schoolmates and debuted together, so they can still chat for a few words.
Harden was not idle either. He found Rubio and said hello. After all, they all made their debut in 2009. It is still necessary to welcome people into the NBA.
Barea took the initiative to come over to say hello, and Su Bei couldn't pretend that he didn't know him. After all, in 2011, they carried a gun together and fought against the Heat's Big Three.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena. The Timberwolves' starting five are Milicic, Love, Beasley, Wesley Johnson, and Luke Ridnour.
The Thunder's starting five are Perkins, Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, and Westbrook. This game will be broadcast live by TNT radio, with Mike Breen and Groom Albert as commentary partners.
"The Thunder and Timberwolves are very similar. The results and strength are completely different. Mike, what do you think?"
"To choose this path, you really need a ruthless vision. Back then, the Timberwolves drafted Garnett and received benefits for more than ten years. Now the Timberwolves have drafted Love as Garnett's replacement and only look at the offensive data. In other words, he is almost the same as Garnett, but Love does not have a defensive system or defensive attributes. He is considered a partial star. He is different from Garnett, an all-round talent who can do both offense and defense. Hong Kong, this is In the past few years, the Timberwolves have been more aggressive than the Thunder in terms of draft opportunities. However, no matter how many opportunities they have, they can't compare to the Thunder's perverted vision. It can even be said that the Thunder's draft vision has reached an outrageous level. , the Timberwolves are also outrageous, but in the opposite direction..." You call this similarity?
The reason why the two teams are similar is because in 2007, the Thunder supported Ray Allen and the Timberwolves sent Garnett to the Celtics.
The two teams can be said to have rebuilt their teams in the same year. Hong Kong theory, the reconstruction chips of the two teams are also very similar.
After all, Garnett = Ray Allen + Lewis, this makes sense, right? However, the Timberwolves have always made wrong choices in the draft, but the Thunder have always made the right choices. They are also full of talented young players, and the Thunder have won the championship.
However, the Timberwolves are still the top pick and are sharp. How did they do it? Without further ado, the game begins.
Beep——! When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in the air. Milicic defeated Yin Baka and won the first attack for the Timberwolves.
The second-place pick of the 2003 generation, even though he is a parallel import, he is also the second-place pick. His talent is there, and Yin Baka, a second-round pick, really can't compare.
Su Bei followed up with the unremarkable-looking Wesley Johnson, who was the 4th overall pick in the 2010 draft.
For this role player, the Timberwolves would rather miss Cousins than take him into account.
"Luke Ridnour brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately distributed it to Billis who was reaching for the ball. Legend has it that when Billis was in high school, beating Durant was like beating his younger brother. Durant was defeated and went out. Outside, he only dares to call himself the second person, not the first person. If Durant has ever seen a truly awesome man, he is Beasley. This matchup is very interesting. Both of them are the second pick. , As a result, Durant's development in the advanced league is more than 100 million points better than Beasley's..." Outside the left three-point line, three offensive threats were placed. Belis lifted the ball and took a step, not waiting for Durant to react. .
He immediately broke through with the ball and was followed by Durant. He immediately half-turned around. When Durant thought he was going to hit him from behind, it was just a feint. Bliss turned back and continued to break through, changing direction and beating Durant's defense. After shifting his center of gravity, he immediately jumped up and shot Durant.
Durant relied on instinct and stretched out his 2.25-meter arm. He can't control his posture. Fortunately, he is long enough and is not afraid of facing the basket for jump shots.
Bang-dang——! The basketball shot missed. Beasley just rubbed on the outside and failed to cum inside.
"In the first matchup, Durant won. Beasley, an offensive genius, was out of shape. Yin Baka won the Thunder's rebound and passed the ball to Westbrook to advance. Pass the ball to Durant. The others pulled away. Putting on the offensive three threats, Beasley lowered his focus on defense and looked at Durant with emotional eyes. Durant feinted, immediately broke through with the ball, jumped up, and made an emergency stop at two points. Jump shot... no, Durant threw the basketball into the basket in the air. Perkins took the ball, set a screen for Su Bei who cut into the basket, and handed the basketball to Su Bei, who quickly Take action to hit the Timberwolves' back door..." Peng, shua—!
With the knife raised and lowered, Su Bei easily scored two points. 2 to 0!
"It was Su Bei who took the lead in helping the Thunder open up their scoring account. Durant did not respond to Beasley's one-on-one challenge, but instead used team tactics. Although this choice is a bit disappointing for the individual, it is also very important for the team to come to Hong Kong. , but very reasonable. Su Bei, a veteran high-level role player who debuted in 2005, is a rookie who debuted in 10 years. This choice is likely to be a scoring question..." It's not even possible, but a certainty.
Just because of his looks, Su Bei can beat Wesley Johnson. In terms of strength, Wesley Johnson is completely inadequate.
During the transition between offense and defense, Ridnour dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, ignoring Bliss who continued to reach for the ball. Instead, he distributed the ball to Love in the high post on the left, and then cut to the basket without the ball, and then went to the basket. Run from the right corner.
Milicic pulled to the corner on the right side and provided a screen for Wesley Johnson, who was cutting inside. He let Wesley Johnson cut to the basket. Su Bei was firmly blocked from the outside and lost the defender. .
At the same time, Beasley also cut to the basket from the left corner and brought it to Durant's defense.
"The Timberwolves' Princeton system is still in place. At least, the high post support tactics are implemented, and the Thunder's two insiders were evacuated. Love's left horn made a fake pass to the basket Down, he feinted a shot, and immediately dribbled the ball inward to break through. As Yin Baka's defensive focus shifted, Love immediately stopped, pulled up the ball, and raised his hand to shoot a two-point emergency stop jumper..." There are three points in organizing forward tactics. Threat, really hard to defend!
Yin Baka was fooled by Love's passing action. He fell behind step by step and fell behind step by step. The defensive focus had just started. Love immediately broke through and shot the ball, trying to see if there were bullets in a two-point pistol.
In an attack with three superimposed threats, Yin Baka could only instinctively reach out to block the shot, but he missed. Beep——!
Bang-dang——! The whistle sounded, the basketball also bounced out of the basket, and the referee punished Yin Baka's thug.
"Love has the opportunity to make two free throws. The blessing of Princeton's system allows the Timberwolves to have a good one-on-one opportunity. The Thunder, which was originally weak defensively, has greater pressure on defense..." Swish -!
Swish——! Faced with the question of giving away points, Love, who has mid-range shooting skills, showed no mercy and made both free throws. 2 to 2!
Off the court, Adelman, who had ended his contract with the Rockets, was invited to coach the talented young Timberwolves.
Even though he had just taken over the team and the offensive movement of the players, he was still very satisfied. Asking is that the basic Princeton framework has come out.
There were high-post support and off-ball coverage. The only difference was that everyone was for me and I was passing the ball for everyone.
"The Thunder attacked, and Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt. Hey, I took a look at Durant. He suddenly accelerated, dribbled the ball in and broke through, acting like a reckless man. Luke Ridnour can't compare, his physical talent There was too much difference. Love made a prediction in advance, and realized how strong Westbrook's body was, and made a move to help defend. Hey, Westbrook penetrated the defense and faced Love's help defense, but there was no Lang, choose to send the basketball into the sky..." Bang Dang——!
Yin Baka dunked with both hands, his whole body hanging on the basket. 4 to 2!
"Love guessed the beginning, but failed to guess the ending. The stupid Westbrook made a beautiful assist, helping Yin Baka take off and hit the basket..." In just two rounds of testing, the Thunder have already tried It's about the depth of the Timberwolves' defense.
The question is how to fight and how to get there. Ridnour at point guard can't stand it. Small forward Wade Johnson also couldn't stand it.
Bliss, who plays shooting guard, is notorious for not playing defense. Against the league's scoring leader, who is left?
Coupled with Love, he is also a master who only knows how to attack. Not to mention, the Timberwolves are quite suitable for Princeton's system, but they are not good at defense.
Since you know you can't defend, then drag the Thunder into an offensive rhythm so that no one can defend.
"The Timberwolves attacked, and the basketball was handed over to Billis, who still held the ball to challenge Durant. He raised the ball and feinted, continued to dribble the ball through, and was followed. He continued to turn around and play with his back, shaking his shoulders, and immediately turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. Take a shot..." Durant only relies on his physical ability to defend, with little technical content, but is very active.
This kind of fighting spirit was obviously something Bliss could not predict. Bang-dang——!
"Still missed! In high school, maybe Durant was really just a younger brother to Billis. But five years later, Durant has been attacking, but Billis refused to improve because he was too talented. ..." It's not unusual for those who are lagging behind to catch up.
Hong Kong, at this time, Bliss no longer has a sense of normalcy. A man who was fated by himself became stronger in order to drink foot-washing water. Who can he talk to to reason with him?
"Yin Baka acted as a forward and blocked Love, who averaged 15 rebounds per game in the 2010/11 season. Su Bei easily picked off the rebound. He took the ball two steps forward and immediately distributed the ball to Westbrook. , the Thunder failed to launch a counterattack, and the Thunder were not in a hurry..." There is really no need for a team without defense to insist on counterattack.
It seems more reasonable to play steady ball.
"Driving the ball to the frontcourt, Westbrook broke through with the ball again, knocked away Ridnour's defense, reached the paint area, and faced Love's help defense again. Hey, what the hell? Westbrook still chose to pass The ball was passed by Su Bei, who came in through an air cut, and hit the back door of the Timberwolves, under the basket, took off, and hit the board shot... Beautifully, he avoided Love's block and scored under the basket... No, it also caused a mistake Love's thug fouled. As an alumnus of Love, Westbrook is going to give Love a makeover! The alley-oop was not satisfactory, and this time it resulted in 2+1..." Swish -!
At the free throw line, despite boos, Su Bei made a steady free throw and put 3 points into his account. 7 to 2!
In just a few minutes, the gap between the two teams was visible to the naked eye. Although Su Bei had the cake, he became the most handsome guy offensively.
The Thunder's offensive choices can be said to be neither very harmful nor extremely insulting! You fell down before someone else's core king exploded. What about the promised matchup with a talent pool that is overflowing?
