NBA: Come off the bench, save the national team

Thunder's starting lineup is: Chandler, Ibaka, Durant, Qin Feng, Westbrook.

The Heat's starting lineup is: Joel Anthony, Bosh, James, Wade, Chalmers.

The lineups of both sides have not changed much.

It's just that the starting point guard on the Heat's side was replaced by Chalmers. Facts have proved that Mike Bibby's level is no longer enough to become the starting point guard of a championship team.

The Thunder ushered in Chandler's comeback.

Both sides jump the ball.

Chandler and Joel Anthony took off at the same time, but Chandler had more momentum and slapped the basketball out forcefully.

After a long recuperation, he finally ushered in a comeback after being injured.

He seemed to hold back his breath a few times, and wanted to vent it out in this game.

Westbrook received the basketball, quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and then passed the basketball to Qin Feng's hands.

Compared with last season, Westbrook seems to have matured a lot, at least he didn't have his own reckless offense at the beginning.

Qin Feng held the ball at the top of the arc, faced Wade's defense, and launched an attack directly.

Continuous crossover steps change direction, then retreat to make a fake move of worshiping Wade, and then break through to the penalty area, use a lost step, play with Joel Anthony who came up from the defense, and easily hit a layup.

In an instant, the entire audience cheered.

Finally, I saw the game of the powerful Thunder team again. This feeling is really long gone.

The reporters at the scene were all silent.

The state of this Chinese player seems to be really good!

The Heat attack.

After Chalmers dribbled the ball for half court, he passed the basketball directly to James.

James dribbled through the penalty area, attracted the defense, and passed the basketball straight to Bosh on the outside.

The anti-aircraft turret directly shot a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

The Thunder attack.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball for halftime, after finishing the pick-and-roll with Durant, he passed the basketball back to Durant.

The latter faced Chalmers' defense and shot a three-pointer.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Durant once again showed superb shooting skills.

Obviously, after hard training during the offseason, there has been improvement again.

The two sides fell into a stalemate.

The Heat's tactical play is also very clear and simple, that is, James holds the ball to organize the team's offense, and it all depends on his judgment and choice between offense and passing.

Under such circumstances, James' role is maximized.

Wade, on the other hand, completely gave up the possession of the ball, and used more running positions and low backs to complete the offense.

The way of offense with the ball at the top of the arc has been reduced a lot compared to last season.

In this way, the ball is all in James' hands.

Under this style of play, the Heat also showed stronger strength.

The first quarter ended at 28:32.

The Thunder only lead by 4 point.

The second quarter started soon.

Both sides are the coaches of the bench players.

Heat's newly-joined Cole and Battier broke out one after another, making consecutive outside shots, which caught the Thunder off guard.

In less than 2 minutes, the Heat overtook the score.

The fans at the scene also fell silent.

Everyone is a little worried, the Thunder's opening game will not be overturned!

The Heat seem to be stronger than expected!

Fans will look to the sidelines Thunder coach Brooks, waiting for him to make adjustments.

However, Brooks was unmoved and continued to let the substitutes play the game.

But Redick, Lowry and other players were all mediocre, and they could only watch Cole kill the Quartet.

This rookie is the first game of his NBA career!

He played such an amazing performance, which annoyed the audience on the scene, and made the whole Heat team very happy.

This unknown person believes that after this game, he will become a famous person.

And if the Heat beat the Thunder because of this rookie explosion, it will be a direct battle to become the gods.

"This kid is a bit crazy! It's time to teach him a lesson."

"Qin, get ready to appear."

Brooks frowned and said, originally wanted Qin Feng to rest for a few more minutes, but now it seems impossible.

Qin Feng stood up in response, took off his training clothes, walked to the side of the technical statistics table, and replaced his teammates in a dead ball session.

The Thunder's offensive round.

Qin Feng holds the ball at the top of the arc, facing Battier's defense, directly pulls up and shoots a three-pointer.

Battier used a blindfold, but it didn't work.

Swish.

Basketball hollow into the net.

The Heat attack.

After Norris Cole dribbled the ball for halftime, he broke through Lowry directly to the penalty area and was about to make a layup.

Qin Feng came over to defend, jumped up high, and directly gave Cole a thunderbolt hat from behind.

Snapped!

The basketball hits the backboard and bounces back.

Qin Feng took advantage of the situation to grab the basketball, quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, and launched a defensive counterattack.

Just after halftime, Qin Feng stopped at the three-point line and shot a three-pointer before his teammates got into the penalty area.

Swish.

Keep hitting.

Scored 6 points in a row.

After Qin Feng made two three-pointers, the Thunder went from being 5 points behind to leading by 1 point.

beep.

Spoel couldn't help calling a timeout.

When facing a player like Qin Feng, he really couldn't relax in the slightest!

Although Cole played an unexpected performance, he is only a rookie after all, so how can he match Qin Feng's offense.

Pause back.

Spoelstra replaced the entire main lineup.

The substitute players played very well in this game, and it can be said that they overfulfilled the task.

Next, it depends on the performance of the main force!

For the Thunder, Brooks also replaced Durant, Westbrook and other main lineups.

The two sides fought fiercely again.

The two super scorers Qin Feng and Durant broke out one after another, leading the team to a 23:10 offensive in the second half of the second quarter.

Before halftime, the point difference was opened to 14 points.

"In the new season, the Heat team has indeed become stronger! But compared with the Thunder team, it seems that it is still a little bit worse."

"I always feel so short of breath."

The on-site commentator Barkley said with emotion.

"The quality of the stars and the integrity of the lineup are still a little bit worse."

"And in terms of tactical richness, the Heat are not as good as the Thunder."

"The Heat's tactic is very simple, that is, James takes the ball, breaks through the pick-and-roll to the penalty area to attract double-teams, and then passes the ball. Otherwise, it is a star's singles."

"On the Thunder team, apart from Westbrook being able to organize the offense, Qin Feng is also the top assist player in history. This means that the Thunder team has two engines, and another superstar Durant can play both with the ball and with the ability to play. Playing without the ball greatly reduces the usage rate of the ball."

"The ability of these players determines that the Thunder has a wealth of changes in offense, making it difficult for the Heat's defense to keep up with the Thunder's offensive changes in a timely manner."
