The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 297 Opening the first battle
On October 2014, 10, the opening game of the new NBA season officially started.

There are three games today, namely: the Rockets and the Lakers, the Mavericks and the Spurs, and the Kings and the Thunder.

Basically every game is a game of grievances.

But every game is unsatisfactory.

Because the strength of each game is not balanced.

Although the Lakers ushered in Kobe's comeback this season, no one knows how much fuel Kobe has left after a serious injury.

At the same time, the rest of the Lakers have long since lost the strength that the Zijin Dynasty once had. Even if they recruit Lin Shuhao and Boozer, the team has long lost the strength to compete for the championship.

After the Mavericks experienced a big change during the offseason, it is hard to say how strong the team is. The old driver is one year older. No one knows how much fuel is in the tank now. The defending champion Spurs performed in the Super Finals, and the game was difficult and fierce.

As for the last game, it should be the closest in terms of strength. After all, the two teams in the playoffs last season only scored the final goal of the tie-break.

But unfortunately, during the preseason, Durant suffered a metatarsal fracture in his right foot. After undergoing surgery, he is expected to take 6-8 weeks to recover.

In other words, it was difficult to see him in more than 20 games before the start of the season.

This is the first time Durant has suffered such a serious injury since he entered the league, but everyone is thankful that he didn't miss the entire season!

But no one knows that for Durant, such an injury is just the beginning.

Therefore, in this game, after the absence of Durant, the result of the game became somewhat obvious. Although the Thunder still have Westbrook and Cousins, they want to rely on this pair of "brainless and unhappy" It's a little more difficult to beat the Kings.

"How is Kevin recently? I feel very stable on the phone!"

"Of course, it's just a two-month absence!"

Before the game, when Lip talked with Westbrook, he inevitably talked about Durant.

"You too, protect yourself on the court!"

Speaking of injuries, looking at Westbrook who was alive and kicking in front of him, Li Pu felt very emotional.

I didn't expect that this butterfly of myself flashed its wings and slapped Westbrook's serious knee injury away.

It is said that Westbrook's injury is like returning to the factory for an upgrade, and it will become stronger every time he returns from injury.

But everyone knows that it's just a stalk, Westbrook is not a Super Saiyan after all, and it is impossible to become stronger every time he is injured.

"Cut, who do you look down on? I'll get hurt? You'd better worry about you! I'm much stronger than you!"

Sure enough, the two really couldn't speak a few words. They knew that the other was for their own good, but they had to choke each other.

The chat between the two ended up comparing a middle finger to each other.

Soon after, the two sides made their first appearances, and the game officially kicked off.

Thunder's starting lineup: Westbrook, Andre Robertson, Perry Jones, Ibaka and Cousins.

During the offseason of this year, the Thunder reached an agreement with the Eagles. At a price of 3 million for three years, they traded Sefolosha to the Eagles in exchange for a signing of the 1200 Sharks Kesenitis. right.

Basically, it is equivalent to changing the air. Needless to say, the reason is mainly to save money.

Of course, in addition to saving money, there is another point that allows the Thunder to let Sefolosha go so generously, and it is also because they have found a replacement for Sefolosha, and that is Robertson.

Robertson, a well-known partial player with a defensive value of 2000 million and an offensive value of 500 million, is most talked about because he has met a certain goddess Rachel.

It really is: Knife in hand, follow me, kill Rachel, grab carrots...

What a mess!

The lineup of the Kings still continues the lineup of last season.

Bledsoe, Butler, Middleton, Giannis and Lip.

Facing Li Pu again, Cousins ​​seemed very calm. Even if Li Pu beat him with the jump ball, he didn't react at all.

Such a calm performance made Li Pu think that he had met a fake Cousins!
In fact, since last season's playoffs, after that round of the series, Cousins ​​has been defeated by Li Pu, and he no longer wants to compete with Li Pu.

Now facing Li Pu, Cousins ​​can face him with a normal heart.

Fortunately, Li Pu didn't know what Cousins ​​was thinking, otherwise he would have said: How did you find out?How sluggish is this reaction?

After Li Pu successfully jumped the ball, the Kings launched the first attack.

When the Thunder fell to the ground, they found that the Kings' position was very strange.

Giannis holds the ball in the middle of the three-point line, Bledsoe comes out to catch the ball, Middleton runs off the ball for Li Pu in the off-line pick-and-roll, then Li Pu circles to the left of the free throw line, and Middleton runs to the three-point line .

After some tactical moves, the Thunder's defense was in chaos, and the defender of Li Pu was actually replaced by Jones.

Giannis took the opportunity to pass the ball to Li Pu, and then immediately slid down.

Li Pu bounced the ball back to Giannis and blocked Ibaka's pursuit for him.

In the end, Giannis dunked easily against the unguarded empty basket!

"This is Princeton! The Kings actually played Princeton?"

After only watching one round, Coach Brooks on the sidelines yelled out in surprise.

But then he felt perfectly reasonable.

If the Kings don't play Princeton, who can play Princeton?
After all, the gorgeous Kings team, but until ten years later, some fans still miss it!

It wasn't just Brooks who was surprised, but also the fans at the scene!

Although the Kings had rehearsed Princeton's tactics in the preseason, compared with now, the perception is completely different.

What's more, compared to the previous old kings, this new king can crush them in terms of talent!
For a while, all the fans became excited, this is so exciting!
Looking back, it was Westbrook's turn to attack.

But Westbrook discovered that what he was facing was not Bledsoe, but Butler!
No way, the core of the Thunder's offense right now is Westbrook, and the team will naturally aim the perimeter defense gate at Westbrook.

Seeing this, Westbrook naturally chose to play a pick-and-roll with Cousins!

After the pick-and-roll, Westbrook directly faced Li Pu and directly chose to attack the basket.

Although Westbrook's impact is unique in the league, he is facing Li Pu!
I saw Westbrook's layup, which was blocked by Li Pu's big hand extending from behind.

No matter how high Westbrook jumps or how fast he jumps, he can't escape Li Pu's five-finger barrier, just like Sun Monkey can't escape the palm of Tathagata Buddha.

A big cap blocked Westbrook's layup, and after Giannis received the rebound, he immediately launched a fast break.

I saw Giannis, who is 210cm tall, advance quickly with the ball, running faster than Robertson, who is 2m tall.

After coming to the frontcourt, Giannis turned around and dunked directly in front of Jones, making Jones completely unable to intercept!
At this moment, the Kings fans realized that this guy is so strong?

Why didn't you find out last year?
