NBA super point guard

Two hours before the game, the Trail Blazers showed up at the Ford Center.

After Earl Watson was waived by the Thunder, he signed another year with the Blazers in the summer.

Seeing the former Thunder's main point guard, Li Muhua sighed, hugged Watson, chatted for a few words, and then returned to the bench.

Brooks didn't mention tactics, but just encouraged the players a few words.

The Trail Blazers are not difficult to play. There is only one Granger. With Durant's skills, it is not a big problem to crush them.

Starting lineup: Granger, Murphy, Hibbert, Watson, Hyde.

The lineup is not bad, but the players are weak, and the key offensive weaknesses are Watson and Hyde.

The game officially started and Krstic won the jump ball.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, Li Muhua covered, Westbrook directly crushed Watson, broke through, Hyde switched defenses, and Westbrook passed to Durant.

Durant made an empty cut dunk.

For the wonderful connection between Westbrook and Durant, Li Muhua applauded for a good job.

The inside line of the Trail Blazers is very speechless. Even Krstic can stand up, which shows how weak they are.

The ball couldn't be guarded at all, and the power of Durant's burst was amazing.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Watson entered the frontcourt and handed the ball directly to Granger, Durant defended, Granger calmly played back and sat inside, then turned around and made a jump shot, Durant Special jump to interfere.

Basketball hit the iron, Krstic easily took off the rebound and handed it to Westbrook.

The Thunder made a quick break, and Westbrook once again passed the ball to Li Muhua who was running up the frontcourt. Watson misplaced to defend Li Muhua, while Hyde on the other side hurried over to help defend.

Li Muhua jumped up and shot.

"Shh!"

Three point hit.

Watson couldn't defend against Li Muhua's three-pointer.

After the ball, the Thunder continued to play fast, with a flying rhythm.

A master of chaos, he instantly stunned the Trail Blazers. Watson understands this kind of tactics similar to bombardment, but he can keep up. Later, when I couldn't run, I just walked to watch the game, just like the old man on the court.

The two sides played lively, and often the center wandered to the middle circle, and the offense in the frontcourt had already been played.

At the official timeout, the Blazers replaced Solomon Jones.

In order to catch up with the rhythm of the Thunder, the Trail Blazers also worked hard.

Westbrook played very well and didn't participate too much in the offense. Instead, he had a good performance in rebounding and assists, especially 4 of 2 catches. Although it is not as good as Durant's 5 of 4, the overall hit The rate exceeds [-]%.

With the core focused on winning rather than taking shots, the Thunder moved the ball more comfortably.

TNT sports live.

Big Mouth Barkley shook his head:

"Since the beginning of this season, the Thunder have shown extraordinary offensive capabilities, and the Musketeers have a strong lineup, but the first two games made me a little confused. No one knows what these young people are thinking every day. One game was normal, one game was abnormal, poor Kevin, it’s not easy to lead the team!"

"Yes, look at LI, he actually took two shots in the first quarter, but Russell Westbrook took fewer shots. They are bullying Kevin!"

Bill Walton praised Durant very cooperatively.

There is no way, everyone is optimistic about Durant, with fewer shots, and the commentator also complains for Durant.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Durant made a lot of shots in the first quarter.

In particular, Li Muhua also assisted twice, which made Durant catch the ball and throw it in comfortably.

In terms of offense, Li Muhua will never hesitate to make a shot when there is an open space, and his teammates know this well.

A shot from outside the three-point line can stretch the defensive space whether it goes in or not.

Whether Durant is a mid-range jumper or a strong inside shot, the inside line is emptied. In fact, the Trail Blazers can no longer talk about defense.

It relies more on personal ability to defend.

As a former teammate, Watson knows it well, but at the current level, trying to single-handedly defend Li Muhua is tantamount to wishful thinking.

It's just that the Trail Blazers didn't make any adjustments and asked Hyde to defend. Mickey Mouse is kind and won't come to pull the jersey. As for the defensive black hand, it doesn't exist.

Yes, the players on the Trail Blazers are gentlemen and have always advocated the concept of friendship first and competition second.

But in this way, the Thunder played well.

Westbrook involved the frontcourt defense, and Durant gained space to shoot.

It's hard to imagine that there are still teams that ignore Durant's double-team.

The most comfortable is Green.

Green reached the bottom line in a blink of an eye, was able to make a mid-range shot, and could pull to the bottom corner to throw a three-pointer. Murphy moved slowly and couldn't outrun Green at all, so he easily got an open spot.

The Blazers' defensive space has been stretched to the limit, and Green's shots are cool, with mid-range shots for a while, and long-range shots for a while, and Murphy's eyes are already lax.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led by 34 points at 25:9.

Hyde's undercover was very thorough, 5 of 1, and under Li Muhua's defense, he recklessly shot the Trail Blazers. If Granger didn't have a good hand and bit the score hard, the first quarter might have been a draw. flower.

Technically speaking, Hyde is really average, with blunt movements, and just raising his hand is equivalent to telling people what they want to do.

It can only be said that the Blazers' defense is really scumbag.

In the second quarter, the Thunder also confidently and boldly carried out player rotation, and once again improved the offensive rhythm.

Collison directly blasted the inside line, Harden made great waves on the outside line, the touch was amazing, and Li Muhua was also willing to assist.

The offense was even more brutal than the first quarter.

The Trail Blazers are good at man-to-man defense. However, in matchups, they can often form dislocations. It is not difficult for Li Muhua to break through Price. As long as someone defends, Li Muhua will pass the ball to form an assist.

Price, the core substitute, made 6 of 0 shots, and Blazers head coach McMillan was anxious to play on his own.

The injury situation is very serious. The players of the Trail Blazers are either injured today or sick tomorrow. McMillan's life is not easy.

No matter who you send, you dare not play for too long.

Yes, whether it was a critical moment or not, no one could stand up except Granger.

After the Thunder speeded up the offensive rhythm, the Trail Blazers' lack of athletic ability was serious, and they couldn't keep up with the offensive running. The Thunder took the game away in waves.

In the second quarter, the Thunder scored 30 points, and the Trail Blazers only had a poor 18 points.

At the end of halftime, the point difference directly reached 21 points.

It is unbelievable that the gap between the two teams is so large.
