Chapter 19 Against the Thunder
The Thunder was called Seattle Supersonic before it changed its name this year. The team was founded in 1967. In that year, Seattle Boeing was developing and manufacturing supersonic airliners, so it chose to call it Seattle Supersonic. Later, it moved its home field to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the team was also renamed the Oklahoma Thunder. .
The Cavaliers' opponent tonight is the Thunder. After defeating the Mavericks, the Cavaliers won several more games in the following week. From the All-Star game, the Cavaliers have not lost a game so far. This is the only one of all the teams in the league. The second place is the Spurs, and the Spurs after the All-Star. I lost a game.
The Thunder is a very young team. Of course, this is relative to Oklahoma. After all, the Thunder moved here last summer. It can be said that it has not been a year now. It seems that it is indeed very "young"
The team's star is Durant, who is the top show in 2007. Durant has proved himself and proved that the team's vision is correct. He is now a super red star in the league. In a year or two, he will definitely become a superstar in the league. No one doubts this, because he really has this potential. This is recognized by everyone.
The second leader is the fourth show selected by the Thunder this year, Laser Westbrook. This point guard showed his potential in this season, that is, the rookie game. It is also one of the core of the team's future team building. However, the only thing that worries people is that Westbrook is immaturity, and occasionally there will be a crazy watch. Now, such a performance makes Thunder very worried. But worry, they have a lot of time for him to grow up.
The three masters are Jeff Green, Durant, Westbrook, Green. The three of them are called the three young masters of the Thunder. All three of them are very young. The one with the smallest potential of the three is Green. It is impossible for Green to become a superstar. At most, he will become a very good player.
Green's performance this season is also very good. Although he is not as good as Durant and Westbrook, his performance proves that he is worthy of the position of the team's three masters. The team is also very satisfied with his performance this season. If the team does not have Durant and Weiss, then the Thunder may cultivate him as the core of the future team building.
"Our opponents are very young tonight, but you can't take me lightly. Whether it's Durant, Westbrook or Jeff Green, all three of them have shown their potential. If all three of us play at the same time in this game, it will be a great threat to me, but that's also It's just a threat. Although the Thunder is not bad this season, everyone knows that they are going for the lottery this year. I don't think there is a reason for us to lose, right? In the team's locker room, Brown was talking loudly to the players.
"Thunder is a team with great potential, but it's just a great potential. Maybe they will be our strong opponents in the future, but at least they are not our opponents this year. They are basically out of the playoffs now, so I hope you don't have an accident in this game. This game is me. Our must-win competition. Brown continued.
James and Huang Jun looked at each other, and then said at the same time, "Don't worry, coach, we will definitely win this game"
When the words fell, Huang Jun said again, "Durant is also a small forward, and James is also a small forward. I believe that the confrontation between the two will be very good tonight. Durant is recognized as a superstar in the league, and James is already a superstar. I don't know that the new star met a superstar in this game. How will it perform?"
After listening to Huang Jun's words, all the Cavaliers players are looking forward to it. As Huang Jun said, what will happen when a new star meets a superstar? There is no doubt that the new star will perish, need to say? This is the idea of other Cavaliers players, and they have no reason not to think so.
After half an hour, the starters of both teams were already on the field.
The starting lineup of the Cavaliers has not changed: point guard Huang Jun, scoring Battier, small forward James, power forward Landry, and the center is Asik.
The starting lineup on the Thunder side is point guard Westbrook, scoring Earl Watson, small forward Kevin Durant, strong forward Jeff Green, center Petro.
The reason why the Thunder's record is so bad this season is that there is no very good shooting guard and a center in the team, so their record has been unable to go up for a long time. Maybe next year's Thunder team will not be like this. The lottery picks will definitely bring them a certain change, and for this, Ray Ting's general manager and other senior executives are very looking forward to it.
Thunder's scouts and general managers have done a very good job in the draft. Both Westbrook and Durant have proved that the Thunder's eyes are very shrewd and did not choose smuggled goods, which is undoubtedly the greatest comfort for the Thunder, right? As long as there are no smuggled goods, sooner or later they will enter the playoffs, from the top to the top to the players are convinced of this.
Pero and Asik jumped the ball, whistled, and the ball was thrown. The two jumped up at the same time almost at the same time. "Bang" The two had a physical collision in the air, but neither of them did. They shouted angrily and drank at the same time. With many advantages such as youth, Asik abruptly took the racket from Petro's hand. It was hit, and the direction was naturally the direction where Huang Jun was.
While "Good Asik" spoke, Huang Jun took a quick step forward at the same time, copied the ball that Asik slapped into his hand, and then pushed towards the half-time and stabilized in the half-time. After all, it was the first attack, and it was better to keep the successful shooting rate.
Westbrook opened his arms, squatted on a pony, looked at Huang Jun with his eyes, and whispered, "Today I want to prove that I am better than you. Why do I always live in your glory?" Everyone knows you, not me? You are the first one I need to solve, and Ross is the second.
It is true that Westbrook has performed very well this season, but compared with Huang Junross's two super defenders, he is still a little worse. However, this is what keeps him alive under the glory of the two. The super performance of Huang Jun and Rose only made people realize how strong they were, while Weiss was completely ignored by the world. It's absolutely impossible not to be angry. After all, his performance is also very good.
"Ha ha, do you want to make you famous overnight after defeating me through this game?" Huang Jun said, "Do you think you may defeat me?" Is it possible?"
Then he stopped waiting for Westbrook's answer and started directly. His left foot stepped out first, and Westbrook's center of gravity was suddenly taken over by this foot. The center of gravity was completely on Huang Jun's left. He said to the foot that had already stepped out, and suddenly took it back at a lightning speed. Before Si could react, his right foot rushed to Weiss' left. At this time, Weiss had no time to defend at all.
"Fool, damn it. Why am I so cheated?" Weiss looked at Huang Jun who broke through his side and said dissatisfiedly. While talking, he didn't stop chasing Huang Jun.
Huang Jun turned a deaf ear to Westbrook's words. In his opinion, the two of them are not at the same level at all. Sooner or later, there is nothing to be happy about. After passing Westbrook, Huang Jun, who was in the three-point line, rushed directly to the inner line of the Thunder.
At this time, Jeff Green immediately gave up his defensive player Landry and ran straight to Huang Jun. This boy is so fast. Is it on the left or on the right? Green looked at Huang Jun, who was getting closer and closer to him, and kept guessing in his heart.
On the left, Green finally chose the left. He believed that his judgment was right, so he resolutely chose the left. However, when he chose the left and took action, he looked at Huang Jun, who passed from his right with an incredible face. Seeing this scene, he muttered in a low voice, "How can it be, how can it be? How can it not be on the left? Obviously, the shaking of the shoulder is to the left.
Huang Jun didn't answer anything to his words and said to himself, "Do you think I will break through from your left? When you judge in your heart that I break through from your left, this ending has been determined. No one can accurately judge my breakthrough route, and the route you judge is just what I deliberately revealed to you.
Huang Jun, who took back his mind, stabbed directly under the basket, ignored Petro's second defense, and jumped directly high. In the air, Huang Jun dodged Petro's arm and a pull rod. After dodging the opponent's defense, he shot again. At the same time, his body deliberately leaned against Petro's body. "No one's body There is also the flexibility of my body in the air. You can accept this foul.
When Petro saw this scene, he secretly said, "It's not good, I've been fooled." But it was obviously too late. It was obviously impossible for him to control his physical state again. He could only sigh and accept such a reception helplessly.
After he sighed secretly, the referee's whistle came to his ear. Hearing this, Petro didn't care too much. He forcibly turned his head, looked at the ball in Huang Jun's hand, and said to himself, "Don't enter, don't enter."
"Come in," he shouted out of Huang Jun's mouth. At the same time, he threw out the basketball in his hand and threw out the basketball in his hand by wiping the rebound. Although the result of the ball has not yet come out, he is very confident at this time. He believes that he will definitely score this goal.
