Chapter 57 Opener
Pause ends, game continues!
The lineups of the two sides have not changed. As soon as Nelson broke through to the basket with the help of Howard and Lewis' double screens, he got up and made a layup.

Snapped!Ibaka's big slap fell from the sky!

He slapped the ball hard, covering his head and face with a big hat!

"Wow! Where did Ibaka come from? This defensive awareness is so good!" I thought the commentator couldn't help but said!

"The main reason is that his moving speed and instant jumping are so good. When Nelson just arrived in the penalty area, Ibaka was still following Howard! But in a blink of an eye, he came to the basket and blocked Nelson!
God, does Presti really have magic powers, why are the people chosen so good! "

Presti listened to the commentary talking about Ibaka, and smiled unconsciously. He remembered that someone in his previous life said that Ibaka was the most perfect center in the small ball era.

"Wow! It's another block, I think Ibaka will win this year's block king!" The commentator said excitedly!

Presti immediately came back to his senses and watched the replay on the court, only to see that after the Magic served, Lewis broke through for a jumper, and Ibaka rushed out with a slap and slapped it out!

And Barnes got the ball and went inside to dunk!

Ibaka immediately rushed over to take off and fanned again!

When the Magic finally grabbed the ball and was about to launch the fourth attack, the referee whistled!24 seconds to attack!

Even though I had seen Ibaka's face-to-face block countless times in the previous life, I was shocked, and felt sorry for the loss of Ibaka's athletic ability after being injured in the previous life. Presti couldn't help standing up and applauding Ibaka!
When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, it was too easy. After Curry reached the top of the arc, the Magic were afraid that Curry would shoot an unreasonable three-pointer and go online to flank ahead of time.

Seeing this, Curry immediately gave the ball to Westbrook, and Carter came to make up after Westbrook got the ball!
At this time, Westbrook's speed has reached the extreme. Even if Carter consciously kept a distance of 2 bodies, he was easily passed!
When he got to the basket, Howard immediately gave up defending Ibaka and came to make up for it!
The ball is given to Ibaka, and Ibaka has an open three-pointer!

Steady, the ball goes in!

"This magic is lost," the commentator couldn't help but said,

"It's true that it's too difficult for the Magic to win. All 5 of the Thunder have range, and the space for positional battles is wide enough. Howard was pulled out to defend Ibaka. The Thunder scored too easily. Once the Magic failed to score in the positional battle, the Thunder immediately launched a defensive counterattack. The Magic has no one to parry," another commentator echoed.

"To be honest, I never expected that the Thunder would be able to beat the Magic in just one season. The Magic were the runner-up last season, and Howard is currently the number one center in the league!"

"Let's take a look, let's see how the rotation lineup is going."

When there were less than 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the rotations of the two sides began to compete!
For the Thunder: Livingston, Harden, Matthews, Gibson, Jordan Jr., the Thunder still play five up and down
The adjusted lineup of the Magic has become: Williams, Redick, Pietrus, Anderson, Howard,

The Magic did not replace Howard, but continued to stay on the court, and all the substitutes replaced had three-pointers.
Seeing that the Magic didn't win Howard, everyone instinctively thought that the Thunder's substitute could keep the Thunder's bench until the main lineup came on the field and not be caught up.

As a result, when the game started, it was completely wrong!

Presti's tactics for this lineup are very simple, protect the rebound and push back!Except for Jordan, everyone has the ability to make three-pointers, and he can throw it at the top of the arc if he has a chance!
If you fall into positional warfare, resolutely fight alone!Throw it out of space!Try not to rush to the basket, after all, Howard is still there, and the defense will never double-team
Commonly known as X** hit!
This tactic quickly showed its power. The insider Jordan clung to Howard so hard that he couldn't get too deep. Although Howard was known as the number one center forward, his physical fitness could not crush Jordan!

When the ball was passed to Howard, because Presti's defensive tactics were all single defense and resolutely not double-teaming, Howard had no choice but to be forced to play singles!Because of the existence of Jordan, he can only use a back hook!

bang!Strike the iron!
Gibson took the rebound and passed it to Harden!

Harden took the ball and pushed it to the top of the arc, transferring Matthews on the right!

Matthews is open again with the ball!
Keep hitting!

The Magic attacked again, this time taking outside singles!But every position is not dominant, and none of them can get rid of the Thunder's defenders!
Can only cast!In the end, there was only one strike!
The tactics of the Magic in the previous life were simply four shots and one grab!Howard has an absolute advantage inside!
But compared to the current Thunder, there is nothing they can do. There are Jr. Jordan and Gibson on the inside, and the outside players have super athletic ability. They can shrink and defend immediately!

The Thunder, who protected the rebound, advanced to counterattack again!
Harden went in one-stop, 2+1!

The head coach of the Magic watched from below and shook his head. He really has nothing to do.
"I thought the Magic didn't play Howard, and they would catch up with the score during the rotation period, but the score difference got bigger and bigger." The commentator couldn't help shaking his head.

"Now I have to admire Presti's draft vision. Curry, Harden, and Gibson are just first-year rookies. Last month, we laughed at Presti for giving a 4-year 800 million contract to Livingston who is about to quit the league. Now this person has scored 4 points and 4 assists in only 2 minutes against the Magic," another commentator said wryly.

"Me too. At first I thought that Presti signed an undrafted pick to make up the roster, but the first game was so good"

"The Thunder will surprise all teams this year!"

Because the rotation lineup played too well, so Presti did not change back to the starting lineup until the end of the first half

At the end of the first half, the Thunder have led the Magic by 15 points!
The audience shouted in unison and roared to express their excitement. Their home team has become too strong, and that unreachable O'Brien doesn't seem so far away now!
When Presti led the players back to the locker room, the audience applauded in unison, shouting for the team and the coach!
In the second half, Presti finally switched to the starting lineup, but made a small adjustment. Ibaka pushed to the 4th position, and Jordan replaced Green to play the 5th position. There is no way for Jordan to defend Howard so well in the first half.
Well-rested Curry, Durant and others, the second half was more like a hang-up. Both defense and offense were excellent. On the other hand, the Magic couldn't even start their own good positional battles in the end!There is no way to run boring.

Finally, with minutes left in the third quarter, the Magic called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and surrendered!
And seeing a lineup like the Magic, Presti was too embarrassed to bully others, so he also replaced 3 spiritual veterans Gaba Mott and Livingston. The core of this lineup is Livingston. Presti wants to restore his confidence to before the injury, so all the garbage time will be used to brush his data!
Although the game has entered garbage time, there are still a lot of spectators. They still use their own gestures and shouts to cheer for the home team. Just like that, the game is over as the Magic fail to make the last attack!

The Thunder beat last year's runner-up Magic at home. Curry scored 17 points and 5 assists in his debut, Harden scored 12 points and 3 assists, Gibbonson scored 7 points and 7 rebounds, Matthews scored 9 points, and Livingston scored 13 points and 7 assists relying on garbage time!

The Thunder made a good start to the 2009-2010 season! !
