Start without the ball

Chapter 254 G2
On May 5, a large number of fans came to the periphery of the Pisacek Energy Center early, chanting the slogan of Thunder up.

At 7 o'clock, this is the time when everyone from the Thunder meets to arrive. The first to arrive are Li Haoyu and Grant. A few minutes later, Westbrook and Adams also arrived one after another.

At 7:10, all members of the Thunder arrived, 15 people dressed in blue dragon pattern Tang suits, walked to the arena together.

In order to customize Tang suits for everyone, Li Haoyu contacted a Tang suit shop in Los Angeles. Because everyone is tall, they often need to customize clothes, and all sizes are recorded. After sending to the boss the size of each person, driven by the ability to pay, It was made by working overtime overnight, and it was airlifted to Oklahoma City this morning.

Westbrook was wearing sunglasses and walking in the front with high spirits. This is the most interesting thing he has ever done.

"They're here!"

Seeing everyone from Thunder walking towards the arena, the reporter turned his guns and short cannons to everyone wearing blue dragon pattern Tang suits.

The fans were surprised to see the uniform blue Tang suits on the players of the home team.

"Damn, this is too cool!"

"They look like a bunch of kung fu masters!"

Westbrook seemed to have heard this, and said to Grant: "I'm right, this will make us a master."

Grant nodded and said, "Bro, this may be the funnest thing I've ever done."

George was in a delicate mood. At first he was not very optimistic about this matter, but when he put on this blue dragon pattern Tang suit and stood in front of the mirror, everything changed. The simple Tang suit was supported by the faintly visible dark golden dragon pattern , showing a feeling that George can't explain clearly. Grant often reads online novels translated into Chinese and English, and jokingly tells George that this feeling is called qi.

After appearing with his teammates, most of what George heard was admiration and surprise. Originally, he was ready to hit the street with his teammates, but the result was unexpected, which made him very excited.

In the locker room, George said:
"Guys, this time the appearance is very good. When are we going to do it again?"

Westbrook: "Dude, weren't you reluctant at first?"

George: "Ahem, you remember wrongly, but I agree with it."

TNT arranged for Miller's partner Pierce as today's guest commentator.

Pierce: "All the Thunder wore blue Tangs before the game. I felt very cool."

Miller: "It is said that Russell organized it, and he is indeed a fashionista."

Pierce: "Speaking of today's game, both sides will make adjustments after the fierce confrontation in the last game. The Thunder underestimated their opponents at the beginning of the last game. This time they will definitely take strict precautions."

Miller: "With one hand, you can't ignore the backcourt twin stars of the Blazers. The two scored 1 points together in G84, almost catching up with the Thunder Trident's 91 points."

Pierce: "That's right, let's wait for the game to start."

In the Thunder locker room, Donovan sat in front of the tactical board with the final arrangement:

"The start of the last game was very bad, we paid the price for our arrogance, today we must not underestimate our opponents!

We have made sufficient preparations. I have repeatedly emphasized countless times in the combat meeting, defend, defend, defend again, go guys, let them see the true strength of the Thunder! "

"Thunder up!" Shouted the slogan in unison, and everyone came to the players' entrance to wait.

On the field, the Trail Blazers had just entered the arena, the lights of the arena were turned off, and a bright spotlight shone on the entrance of the Thunder team.

The crowd ran onto the court with the DJ's heroic announcement.

"Use your warmest cheers to welcome the lore hero of G1, Li! Hao! Yu from Huaguo!"

The Pisacek Energy Center was boiling, the fans shouted excitedly, and the decibel level instantly doubled.

Amidst the cheers from Huaguo Li, Li Haoyu ran onto the court, enjoying this feeling very much.

After the entrance ceremony, the game started quickly, and the two sides started to set foot on the battlefield tonight.

Thunder starters: center Morris, power forward Grant, small forward Paul George, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Westbrook.

Trail Blazers starting: center Kanter, power forward Aminu, small forward Harkless, shooting guard McCollum, point guard Lillard.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Huo Nan: "In order to deal with the Blazers' high pick-and-roll today, Donovan replaced the slow-moving Adams at the starting center and raised Morris to the center position. It seems that Donovan is going to defend today."

Duan Ran: "After replacing Morris, I don't know that the Thunder's height has dropped sharply. I don't know if Morris has enough ability to protect the frame."

The two sides settled down, the referee threw the ball into the air, Kanter took the lead to pick up the basketball, and the Blazers attacked.

Lillard advanced with the ball, came to the frontcourt, and directed his teammates to vacate the low post on the left.

Although Morris moves a lot faster than Adams, he is a power forward after all. Lillard tried to use center Kanter to take the low post.

Received the ball one step away from the three-second zone, Kanter dribbled the ball hard to the back, Morris put his hands on his chest, and stood firmly with his lower body to fight back.

With great effort, Kanter only took half a step forward, and he found that he couldn't stand Morris! !

Seeing this scene, Donovan smiled slightly off the court. He has coached Kanter and knows his ability too well.

Kanter is 2 meters tall and weighs 11KG. Morris is 112 meters tall and weighs 2KG. The weight difference between the two is very small. More importantly, Morris has a lower body fat percentage and better strength than Kanter!
The Blazers center, who was at a disadvantage in strength, couldn't squeeze the space, so he used his footsteps to turn to the baseline, but Morris still followed closely. In desperation, Kanter turned to the line to try a hook, but failed to make a hit due to interference, and Grant protected the rebound , Thunder attack.

Westbrook advanced with the ball and landed at 45 degrees to the left. Li Haoyu led McCollum to a low position.

McCollum: "Discuss and discuss, can you not play low?"

Li Haoyu: "If you were Turner, I would definitely not play low frequently. Unfortunately, you are a fake No. 2."

After all, the two came to the low position and began to compete for position. Li Haoyu's strength advantage was obvious, and McCollum retreated repeatedly.

At 45 degrees, Lillard found that Westbrook, who was holding the ball, had no desire to attack. He turned his head slightly and looked at the fiercely contested low post.

Westbrook thinks that I am a bit hard on someone, but before Li Haoyu has the ball, you start to pay attention to the low post and look down on my breakthrough with the ball?
Westbrook kicked the ground like Li Xuan's arrow, passing Lillard in an instant and heading straight to the basket.

Seeing Westbrook's breakthrough, Li Haoyu gave up the low position and ran to the left corner.

Now McCollum was embarrassed. On one side was Westbrook, who was aggressively breaking through with all his might, and on the other side was the Chinese defender with perfect shooting. He could only defend one person.

McCollum finally decided to solve the urgent need. Westbrook, who came from a breakthrough, switched defenses. The turtle scored the ball to Li Haoyu, and the Thunder defender made a decisive three-pointer.

shuh~
Hollow into the network!

Westbrook grinned after getting the assist, his condition is much better than G1!
