Vol 3 Chapter 6: Preseason


When the time comes, it becomes lively.
   In early October, the Thunder went to Spain and played a game with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
   New players joined this year one after another. Oladipo, Anlo, Sabonis Jr. and Ilyasova all got enough playing time. After all, it was a performance game. As the leading star, Westbrook basically sat on the court to rest within 20 minutes of each game.
   With a record of one win and one loss, the Thunder returned to the United States. On Sunday, they will play away against the Dallas Mavericks. An Luo finally ushered in his first show in the true sense of the NBA.
   Donovan continued the previous starting lineup, Adams, Kanter, Robertson, Oladipo, Westbrook.
   In this game, the Mavericks sit at home and preemptively. Bariyari scored 7 points in a sudden outside shot, but Westbrook and Oladipo responded with a three-pointer each. Next, the two sides you come and me, the score alternately rises.
   NBA game is indeed much faster than ncaa. After all, the attack time is only 24 seconds, and the players are playing more urgently. It's no wonder that many NBA super scorers do not score high in ncaa. For example, Jordan averaged 28 points per game in his rookie season after entering the NBA. However, he averaged only 17 points per game in the three years of ncaa. To a large extent, it was due to the limitation of offensive time.
   An Luo played with 3 minutes left in the first quarter.
   Standing on the court of the American Airline Stadium, An Lu was a little dazed. He sat in the audience watching an NBA game more than once, but he really stood on the court, but it was completely different.
   Of course he is not nervous. When Donovan asked him to warm up, Westbrook, who had only played for 5 minutes, came over and patted An Luo’s and whispered to him,
Ann, this is no different from your previous game. .take it easy!"
   "Don't worry, Russell! I was the one who played the ncaa finals, there were more than 70,000 people at that time!"
   Indeed, compared with Ruiland Stadium, this is a small scene. It's just that when the dream comes true, you will still be a little overwhelmed.
   Seeing An Luo's face of disdain, Westbrook retracted his hand that patted An Luo's ass. Then, a slap overwhelmed and slapped An Luo on the head! The boss in my heart is unwilling:
   Haven't I seen those big scenes? But I was nervous when I played the summer league!
   After An Luo came on the court, he received a pass from his teammate. He was a big step away from the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, and he raised his hand to make a three-pointer. Devin Harris in front of him didn't react at all.
   If there is anything to be happy about the Thunder this summer, it must be an exchange for An Luo. Whether it is the summer league or the first two preseason games in Spain, Anlo has shown a strong three-pointer ability.
   Of course, there is a defense above his level.
   Harris, as a veteran, is still a veteran who has been famous. A rookie cast a three-pointer against his face, and his face is unstoppable. He felt that he had to let this rookie feel what NBA is.
   He thinks so, and he does it. Barea also understood Harris' thoughts and gave the ball directly to him. After halftime, Harris launched an offense.
   His startup speed is very fast. But An Luo has always maintained enough buffer space, he clings to Harris's side, stretched out his left hand to interfere with the opponent's dribble. Harris saw that he couldn't get rid of it, so he paused, ready to rely on the rhythm to shake An Luo and get a shot.
   But the rhythm has always been An Luo's good at breaking through. In addition, after a few days of class with Kobe with Westbrook at the end of last month, he learned a lot of things, which made him get a lot of improvement on both ends of the offense and defense.
   He leaned forward at the moment Harris paused. With his chest pressed against the opponent's upper body, the excellent wingspan completely covered Harris' shooting space.
   The breakthrough rhythm is interrupted, and there is no room to shoot, Harris is very embarrassed now. He tried a few times, but An Luo's core strength was not low, and with a weight of nearly 200 pounds, he really couldn't hit this ball.
   Just when he was looking for his teammates to pass the ball, An Luo patted the ball out.
   He is now becoming more and more proficient in this matter. After all, the steals have been improved by the bracelet, and the effect is guaranteed.
   After a successful steal, An Luo accelerated instantly and jumped out after chasing the basketball.
   "fk!"
   Harris reacted with his head and rushed, but it was too late. He could only watch An Luo cross the center line and then rush to the basket, in a rather ugly posture, one-handed dunks, ending this attack.
   Westbrook stood up early. After An Luo buckled in, he jumped up with joy, the towel in his hand waved roundly. Until I sat back on the seat, I was still talking with my teammates about An Luo's dunk, and then laughed into a ball.
   Compared with Westbrook, An Luo's dunk is really ugly. It feels that all the chic energy in him is concentrated on shooting. In fact, An Luo's first physical condition can make a lot of beautiful dunk moves. But he is like an ugly habit, and he forgot what to do in actual combat.
   three-pointers, five best back, UU reading www.uukānshu. Top 5 com dunks! This is not just for fun. Fans who follow him have already seen it in the summer league. It can be said that in every game, there are far more people expecting An Luo to dunk than those expecting his three-pointer.
   But this offense and one defense made Donovan nod his head constantly. There was a big problem with the original team's second position, which became the team's weakness many times last season. Now the team has Oladipo and Anluo two second positions, one is strong, one is steady, and the defense is very good.
   But they are both celebrities, and both of them are pretty close. Donovan is a little bit happy now. If two people become one, the Thunder's backcourt can be incredible.
   What is more worth looking forward to is that these two are 24 years old and 19 years old. I have to say that the thunder's management team is commendable for their rookie vision.
   In this game, An Luo still only played 20 minutes. Because of the excellent performance of the Mavericks Barea and King Nuotian, coupled with Westbrook "watching from the sidelines", the Thunder regretted losing this preseason game.
   Next, An Luo and others returned to Oklahoma. Under the gaze of the people of Oklahoma City, the Thunder will beat the visiting Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets.
   What surprises everyone is that the new faces who joined Thunder this year have performed well together. Especially the two rookies Anluo and Sabonis are eye-catching.
   This feeling is like returning to the era of the Four Juniors, when the Thunder gave all the Thunder fans hope, and they were full of talent.
