NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 190 The Powerful Thunder Three Young Masters

Oklahoma City Thunder bench:
Coach Brooks looked to the bench and said, "Westbrook, Ibaka, Perkins, get ready to play."

"Yes!" The three replied in unison, then took off their coats and walked to the technical stage.

Coach Mike D'Antoni saw this and immediately replaced his starting player.

There are 7 players gathered on the technical table.

The camera returns to the court.

The Oklahoma City Thunder re-serve the ball to James Harden, who dribbles the ball across half court.

After halftime, Andrew made a provocative move towards James Harden—come!

Come on, Harden, keep hitting me!
Of course, Andrew hopes that James Harden will continue to single him, after all, James Harden is still young at this moment.

If James Harden heard what Andri was thinking, he would probably vomit blood.

When did a second-year rookie complain about a third-year rookie?
However, James Harden was not fooled. Instead, he calmed down and gave the ball to Kevin Durant, who was about to reach the low post.

Kevin Durant turned quickly and easily completed the jumper.

The 203cm tall substitute Ronaldo Balkman couldn't stop Kevin Durant at all.

"Shua." With a sound, the ball fell firmly into the arms of the basket and made a two-pointer.

38:44, the point difference came to 6 points.

The New York Knicks re-served the ball to Mike Bibby, who dribbled the ball across half court.

Andrew cut to the inside for the first time, quickly spread his hands, blocked James Harden behind him, and then reached out for the ball.

Mike Bibby dropped the ball in and gave it to Andrew.

After receiving the ball, Andrew slammed hard at James Harden behind him, trying James Harden's strength.

bang!
In the face of Andrew's impact, James Harden was as stable as a mountain, motionless.

With a height of 196cm and a weight of 100KG, James Harden is considered a typical heavyweight guard; sometimes being switched to face the inside line, James Harden is not to be outdone.

Andrew has long been prepared for this. Facing James Harden, strength is not an advantage, so let’s talk about height. Andrew is 5cm taller than James Harden. Don’t underestimate 5cm, it is fatal to basketball players.

Ask Chris Paul if you give him 5cm taller, he may be moved to tears.

Height is very harsh on basketball players. Don't look at the "short" superstar Allen Iverson in the NBA, but how many Allen Iversons can there be?

Even Allen Iverson has a fatal weakness because of his height - defense; Allen Iverson was not good at defense at his peak, so the head coach Larry Brown specially matched four players around Allen Iverson Defensive players, Allen Iverson is still relatively active in defense during this period. He uses speed to put pressure on opponents when defending. At the same time, gambling steals are also quite powerful.Then after 05, Allen Iverson's defense became horrible due to his age and speed decline. During this time, Allen Iverson's short and thin weakness was gradually magnified, and he was frequently targeted by opponents.

Andrew turned around directly and shot a fadeaway jumper.

James Harden didn't expect Andrew to be so direct, and he even simulated countless images in his mind, but he didn't expect anything to be useless. James Harden took off immediately to block Andrew's jumper.

Andrew reached the apex, flicked his wrist, and the ball left his fingers, flew over James Harden's head, and flew to the basket.

"Shua." With a sound, he made a fallback jumper.

40:44
Answer Ball!

Andrew responded instantly to Kevin Durant.

For a moment, the fans on the scene and on the TV became excited, and they came to see the confrontation between Andrew and Kevin Durant again.

The two did not disappoint the fans, and they tried their best to score frequently.

In this way, the 7 players stood on the technical stage and fought for more than two minutes without being replaced on the field.

"Timeout!" Coach Brooks had no choice but to call a timeout when he saw that the ball was not dead. In fact, Andrew returned to the court and chased him too closely, as if he might be overtaken at any time.

Although Coach Brooks also believes in Kevin Durant's scoring ability, compared to Andrew, Coach Brooks has to admit that Kevin Durant's scoring ability is not as good as Andrew's scoring ability.

Andrew's scoring ability is too exaggerated!

What's more, Kevin Durant entered the league three years earlier than Andrew, and now he doesn't have a 50+!And Andrew is not only 50+, but also 60+, and the scoring ability of the two is not at the same level.

That's why Coach Brooks was worried, and quickly replaced the rest of the starters, adding James Harden, trying to keep the lead until halftime.

After the timeout, the Oklahoma City Thunder has 4 starters plus a James Harden. This lineup is the Oklahoma City Thunder's strongest killer.

As soon as he came up, Westbrook used the pick-and-roll to rush into the defensive player and scored a layup. Then James Harden received a pass from Kevin Durant and made a three-pointer. Sbrook rushed in to attract the defense, distributed the ball to Kevin Durant, and Kevin Durant made a mid-range hit.
Under the suppression of the Thunder's three young men, the New York Knicks not only did not continue to shrink the score, but were stretched bit by bit.

"Beep beep..." The referee blew the whistle at the end of halftime.

Half time, 55:64.

俄克拉荷马城雷霆带着9分的领先优势进入下半场；凯文杜兰特贡献21分3篮板3助攻2盖帽；威斯布鲁克9分5篮板6助攻1抢断；詹姆斯哈登13分1篮板2助攻，雷霆三少半场合砍43分。

而纽约尼克斯，安德鲁砍下半场最高24分外加4篮板3助攻2抢断2盖帽，达尼罗加里纳利12分；除此之外纽约尼克斯其余球员就没有得分上双。

New York Knicks locker room:

As soon as he returned to the locker room, head coach Mike D'Antoni quickly poured chicken soup for the players' souls. After all, losing is not losing, and the most important thing in the confrontation between the two sides is momentum.

After drinking a big bowl of chicken soup for the soul of head coach Mike D'Antoni, the morale of all New York Knicks rose; but except for Andrew, Andrew returned to the locker room, sat on his chair, put his hands together and put it in his mouth. Side by side, my mind reviews each picture.

After one round, Andrew found that the Oklahoma City Thunder were really strong this season, ridiculously strong, especially their offensive ability. There is a saying that the strongest defense is offense.

Even though Andrew made 15 of 10 shots, his shooting percentage reached a terrifying 66%, and he scored a maximum of 24 points in the second half, but the team still lagged behind the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Wait, wait, isn't this more interesting?You must know that such a powerful Oklahoma City Thunder is only this season, and I want to lead the team to defeat them.

Thinking of this, the corners of Andrew's mouth couldn't help rising.
