Vol 3 Chapter 390: gigantic difference

boom~
An Luo is like a big Peng spreading his wings, pressing the ball into the basket fiercely.
I have to say, this dunk is very beautiful. Although compared to Westbrook, there is less ruthlessness; compared to James, less domineering. But An Luo's body that doesn't seem strong makes his dunk more elegant and cool.
After falling to the floor and standing firmly, An Luo ran happily on the court. This is not his first dunk, but it is the one that excites him the most. In previous games, he was addicted to catching no one in the basket. Kyle Fogg’s "cooperation" added a lot of points to his dunk, so An Luo thanked him when he approached him: "Man, you did a great job! You are a perfect supporting role. !"
Reggie Miller's guidance had a great impact on An Luo. However, Kyle Fogg was uncomfortable. What made him more uncomfortable was the cheers in the arena. He couldn't understand why this was clearly his home court, and why it felt more like the opponent's home court.
As the game continued, the Long Lions team played really hard. The original strength was far behind, and now the home court advantage is gone. Although the fans are still cheering for their home team as usual, every time An Luo holds the ball, everything changes. After playing for 5 minutes, the Lions and Dragons only relied on Speights to force Grant to score 6 points in the basket. The rest of the players did nothing. The high hope Kyle Fogg disappeared from the game under Anlow's defense.
In the following half of the game, the Long Lions finally launched their own offense under the leadership of double foreign aid. The Long Lions players finally enjoyed the real home treatment. Of course, all this happened after An Luo and others were replaced by Donovan.
"Your mission has been completed, and now it's time to enjoy the game."
An Luo actually wanted to fight for a while. He understands that he will not play for too long, so he plays positively as soon as he gets on the court. Westbrook and Paul George just went up for soy sauce, and in these few minutes, they did nothing. It was Alford, Diallo and Ferguson who replaced the three of them. With Grant and Noelle, a pure substitute lineup.
But the Long Lions still couldn't bring back their disadvantages. Although under the Thunder's release, the Dragons and Lions have gradually improved on both offensive and defensive ends, but what do they rely on? It's not the overall tactical system. Almost two foreign players, Speights and Kyle Fogg, are scoring. Of course, the ball power is almost concentrated in the hands of these two men. It is difficult for domestic players to get opportunities. But this is also impossible to question the decision of the Long Lions coach, after all, foreign players can still score.
Donovan was satisfied with the performance of several young players on the Thunder side. An Luo and others can play casually in the game, but they can't. They still follow Donovan's arrangement to do what they should do on both offense and defense. However, there are still many problems. For example, in the fourth position, Grant is a young man the Thunder has tried to cultivate. But he suffered a big loss when he played against Speights. Of course, Donovan didn't blame him. After all, Speights was also a veteran in the NBA for many years, and his elective rank was not low. Several other players are quite satisfactory, but this year's rookie Diallo made everyone shine! Especially his dunk, the aerial relay over Zhang Yongpeng and Speights, not to mention An Luo, even Westbrook and Paul George were excited to stand up and wave towels for them.
In the following game, Anluo went into battle again in the second and third quarters. But he didn't have the excitement he had at the beginning. He is still very efficient in scoring, after all, the other side can cause him too little interference. An Luo felt a little boring. The opponent is too weak! It's like an adult bullying a child.
Sitting on the bench, An Luo felt a little disheartened. It's not because he didn't perform well enough, he never doubted his ability. Although everyone has always said that Chinese basketball is weak and American basketball is strong, he has never played against each other, so he has no personal experience. And for An Luo, deep down in my heart, I don't think that American basketball is so strong. When he was in college, he stood on top of all ncaa teams; in the NBA, he also won the championship. This made him think that American basketball is actually like that. But this time in the preseason, he saw the gap between the two. Although the Dragons and Lions are not the strongest force in Chinese basketball, the Thunder is also not the strongest force in American basketball.
After watching the whole game, An Luo also had to admit that the gap between the two is really too big! There is a huge gap in the physical fitness and technical ability of the players, the technical and tactical arrangements of the team, and the culture of the entire team. Donovan pressed the whole game, and the domestic players were like enemies. When the Thunder's defensive strength increased, the opponent's players basically all got into the hands of two foreign aids~EbookFREE.me~ because only these two players have the courage and ability to handle the ball well. Donovan will adjust his tactical arrangements and staffing as the game progresses, but the opposing coach can only passively change. The most practical tactic is to hand the ball to Speights and let him go singles Grant. It may be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but this is where the biggest gap lies.
But An Luo still saw some wonderful performances from domestic players. In the third quarter, Long Lions center Zhang Yongpeng picked up the ball in a smooth pick-and-roll, faced Noelle, and went straight up and pushed the ball into the basket through his opponent. In the following quarter, it was the big man who directly pressed Diallo's dunk. In addition to Zhang Yongpeng, the three-pointer of the small defender Xirelijiang supported a lot of domestic players. Xirelijiang was also the only domestic player on the court to score in double figures.
In the end, the Thunder defeated their opponents in Guangzhou with a huge advantage of 138:92. Won a 4-game winning streak in the preseason.
The result of the game did not cause much shock. No one was surprised because the Dragon and Lions lost such a huge score. After all, before the game started, everyone had expected such a result. Everyone holds the same attitude for the Chinese game of the NBA preseason every year: there are not many opportunities to play against the NBA team, it is meaningless to entangle the score, the important thing is to learn useful things from the opponent. But how long is this learning process? Maybe no one knows the answer.
