NBA peak

Chapter 83

After the opening ceremony, players from the two teams played one after another.

Westbrook, who was the last to play, earned enough screams from the audience, and the Turtle God showed his signature smile.

The big screen gave Westbrook a big close-up, which seemed to tell people that the biggest highlight of this game is whether Westbrook can lead the team alone and defeat the Eastern powerhouse Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors still sent a regular lineup with two guns as the core.

The Oklahoma City Thunder sent Westbrook and Oladipo as guards, and Kanter, Adams and Gibson as strikers.

Without Durant's name, Oklahoma's front line looks a lot shabby.

雷霆在不久前进行的季前赛上3胜3负，最后一场雷霆97:87战胜掘金时，威少拿下12+9，亚当斯17+9，坎特15+8。

After the training is over, it can be seen from the data that the three points of Westbrook, Adams and Kanter will become the main firepower of the Thunder in the new season.

The new aid Oladipo has been in poor form except for scoring 34 points in the first game against the European team Real Madrid.

As the role being traded to replace Durant, Oladipo's performance is really not satisfactory.

Although Durant's departure is not a devastating blow to the Thunder, whether the Thunder can make it to the Western Conference Finals in the new season and whether they can maintain the top 3 strength in the Western Conference depends on how well Westbrook and Oladipo can work together.

With a whistle, Valanciunas jumped up and used his wingspan to pull the ball back to the half court.

The Raptors took the lead in attacking, Lowry took Van Fleet's pass, separated from DeRozan on both sides of the court, and both guns were ready.

Oladipo defends Lowry. As the expectation of the Thunder's reconstruction, Oladipo's performance determines whether he can stay in the Thunder and get a big contract.

Entering the regular season, Lowry and DeRozan, who were killed in the preseason, are not keeping their hands, and they are fully fired.

Lowry took the lead in finding the opportunity and used the elevator door tactic to feed the ball to Van Vleet, who was ambushing a three-pointer in the corner.

Van Fleet raised the knife and scored three points.

After the baptism of the preseason, Van Vleet has adapted to the rhythm of starting.

With this three-pointer, Nas looked at him with satisfaction.

In the front row of the stadium, Zhou Ling'an didn't pay much attention to this game. She has been paying attention to Ge Feng, hoping that Ge Feng can play as soon as possible and complete his debut in the NBA regular season.

The result disappointed Zhou Ling'an. The first quarter was almost over, and Siakam and Joseph, who came off the bench, both played, but there was no shadow of Ge Feng.

Ge Feng sat on the bench the whole time, and he was a little confused again.

Since the NCAA was excavated by the old K coach, this is the first time Ge Feng has been pushed to the bench.

Ge Feng thought that he could compete in the NBA regular season, but Nas just refused to listen and insisted on letting him stay on the bench.

Ge Feng was very anxious, and Ge Feng couldn't solve his physical disadvantage in a short time.

Is it because of this that he has to sit on the bench all the time?

At the end of halftime, Van Vleet was replaced with an ugly face.

It was Joseph who came off the bench.

Before being replaced, Van Vleet made a three-pointer and was fanned out of bounds by Westbrook.

Westbrook, who led the team alone, showed his power. I don't know if it was intentional. After halftime, Westbrook had scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and a stunning three-point block to help the team lead the Raptors by 11 points.

The fans in Oklahoma had a collective climax, shouting loudly at home:
"Westbrook, you are the greatest warrior in Oklahoma!"

"we love you!"

"Damn Durant, you can join the enemy as much as you want!"

"Without you, we can still win the championship!"

"..."

Joseph, who came off the bench, was also beaten very ugly by Westbrook. After Durant left, Westbrook showed the ultimate personal heroism.

After halftime, Westbrook returned to his seat with satisfaction, triumphantly accepting the worship of the fans.

The Raptors didn't look very good. DeRozan and Lowry still played steadily, but Westbrook didn't know if he was crazy. Every time he attacked, he threw half his life into the air to score. DeRozan and Lowry were stunned by Westbrook's fearless style of play.

"Fuck, I feel like I'm not playing the regular season, but Game [-] of the Finals."

Van Vleet glanced at Westbrook, who was sitting quietly enjoying the applause at the moment, with a depressed expression on his face.

Nas rushed over, pointed at Van Vleet's nose and began to curse: "You bastard, how fierce he is, you can give me back exactly! If he dares to play with his life, you will give it to me too! You have to remember, you are a starting rookie, if you are scared of being beaten, you will sit on the bench in the second half and think about it! The NBA is not just playing games. If you want to be an excellent point guard, you must not admit defeat at any time!"

Van Vleet was scolded by Nass and bowed his head in silence.

At this time, Ge Feng stood up and said to Nass: "You can't blame him. Westbrook intends to prove himself in this game. He played this game with the intensity of the finals. It's normal for Van Vleet to not adapt."

Van Fleet raised his head and gave Ge Feng a grateful look.

Nas turned his head and stared at Ge Feng, and said, "Do you have a place to speak? Ge Feng, before you pleaded for others, did you ever think about why you are not even qualified to play?"

Ge Feng said: "It's my fault that my physical fitness is weak. I will work hard to overcome this. As for whether I am eligible to play, it is not all up to you. I just practice, but whether I can play or not is ultimately up to you."

Hearing this, Nas sneered, "Heh, Ge Feng, are you complaining that I don't give you a chance?"

Ge Feng said neither humble nor overbearing: "No, I just practice."

The team members were very surprised that Ge Feng, who has always been low-key, dared to quarrel with Nass. Van Vleet thought that Nass was about to lose his temper, so he hurriedly pleaded with Nass.

Unexpectedly, Nas was not angry, but calmed down instead.

Nas said, "Ge Feng, in fact, I usually don't let you play, there is a reason."

"What reason?" Ge Feng asked calmly.

"Your physical fitness and playing style cannot adapt to the intensity of the NBA playoffs for the time being. The more opportunities I give you in the regular season, the harder it will be for us to play in the playoffs. This is the team's law of dependence. If you want to get a chance to play, unless you can do one thing."

"What's the matter?" Ge Feng asked.

"I will give you 5-10 minutes in this game. If you can't make more than 3 three-pointers, you will not be eligible to play."

To complete three three-pointers in 10 minutes, Nass has high demands on Ge Feng, but this is also a decision made by Nass after in-depth consideration.

Ge Feng's ball and touch are very good, even more delicate than the average NBA player.

But in the sport of basketball, after the skill reaches a certain level, the fight is all about strength.

Since Ge Feng does not have an advantage in strength, he can be used as a surprise soldier.

10 minutes, 3 three-pointers, under the arrangement of the rotation, Ge Feng's role can really be maximized.

"This is an idea you've been brewing for a long time, Coach Nurse."
