After the timeout, D'Antoni replaced Korver with Wilson Chandler. The two-meter-tall Wilson Chandler greatly enhanced his defensive height.

But the Thunder didn't change anything.

Duke held the ball across half court and came to the top of the arc.

In front of him, Westbrook seems to have been warned by the head coach and no longer actively grabs, but his unconvinced energy can still be seen in his fiery eyes.

Regarding Westbrook's understanding, if Duke is said to be second, no one dares to be the first.

The way to deal with him is very simple, just let him get on top, and how to provoke him is also a science.

"Russell, why didn't you come up to defend me? Were you frightened by my move just now?"

Friends off the court, opponents on the court, Duke is merciless when it comes to trash talking.

Sure enough, the anger in Westbrook's eyes grew even more when he heard this, but it was not to the point of burning himself.

Duke also continued to add fuel to the fire.

"It turns out that you are so cowardly. No wonder every time the best rookie is mentioned on social media, your name is not there. Even if you average 15+5+5 per game, weak chickens are not qualified."

These words instantly broke Westbrook's defense.

Westbrook couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed over and reached for the basketball, wanting to make a gambling steal to vent his anger.

How could Duke, who had planned for a long time, let go of such an opportunity? He, who had been observing Westbrook's movements, suddenly activated when the opponent left.

The two passed by, and Westbrook was only a few centimeters away from touching the basketball.

But the so-called loss is a thousand miles away.

The gap of a few centimeters ruined his defense this time.

Duke got to the free-throw line, faked a facsimile shot past help defense Nick Collison, and scored with a simple throw.

The smooth personal offense is very freehand.

Westbrook was really irritated. In the next round, Durant didn't even ask for the ball. He insisted on a one-on-one duel with Duke.

Duke is naturally happy to do so.

I saw Westbrook first made a triple threat, but it didn't arouse any reaction from Duke.

He knows Westbrook's offensive methods too well, just like his character, he goes straight and doesn't make too fancy moves at all.

Sure enough, Westbrook saw that Duke was unmoved, and directly accelerated to kill him to the right, as if rushing towards the battlefield with a pack of explosives.

Duke quickly moved two steps sideways, blocking his attacking route.

"boom!"

A huge force came from Westbrook, hitting Duke with chest tightness, and he took a step back unconsciously.

"Good guy, this power is at least 85 or higher?"

Seeing that there was a gap, Westbrook made another emergency stop, then straightened his body, jumped high and shot.

Zombie Jumper!

And Duke quickly adjusted, relying on his terrifying wingspan, to interfere with Westbrook's shooting.

"Bang!"

The basketball reaches the back edge of the rim, making it howl.

After Westbrook landed, he rushed to the penalty area. Obviously, when he took the shot, he knew that the ball was likely to be lost.

Duke also looked back after landing and saw that David Lee and Ah Lian were stuck in their positions, so he ran forward boldly.

The bounced ball just landed on David Lee's head. David Lee was not good at defense, but he was a good rebounder.

No matter how high Westbrook jumps and the most static talent differs by more than 20 centimeters, he still can't grab the basketball in David Lee's hands.

At this time Duke had already run to the center line, and there was no one in front of him.

Faced with such a good opportunity to get assists, David Lee will naturally not give up.

A quarterback-style long throw threw the basketball to the frontcourt. Although the accuracy of the pass was not high, Duke was the only one who couldn't stand the frontcourt!

Duke slowed down, took over the belated basketball, did not choose to dunk, but lightly released it.

"Shh!"

Basketball hit the net.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.

The Thunder called a timeout again.

"Good job!"

Duke, who had just walked to the bench, received praise from D'Antoni.

D'Antoni looked at the disciple in front of him, and he really liked it more and more. Who wouldn't want such a smart point guard in his team?

It's just that sometimes I'm a little impulsive, but it's normal for young people to be a little angry!

Duke seems to have become the most proud disciple in D'Antoni's heart.

As for Nash, sorry, what did you just say?I can't hear you well!

Contrary to D'Antoni, the head coach of the Thunder, Caleb Canales, simply hates Westbrook. Why is the body of top talent matched with a low-profile head?

Westbrook also knew that his performance was too bad, so he stood there with a straight face and didn't speak.

"They are also rookies, so the gap is huge."

Yu Jia is not familiar with Westbrook and thinks he is just an ordinary star.

"A rookie like Duke is also very rare. Duke's strength can also be ranked in the top ten in the history of rookies."

CCTV's commentary understands everything, as long as it's a Knicks game, the Kua United and Duke are sure to be right.

.......................................

Back from the timeout, Westbrook was indeed replaced, replaced by the 1.85-meter Earl Watson, another boy who sent points.

However, the picture Duke imagined did not appear, and the man defending him became Jeff Green.

But such changes did not change the situation where the Thunder gradually fell into a disadvantage.

After being caught off guard by the Thunder at the beginning, the Knicks quickly recovered, and the gap between the two sides was quickly reflected.

At this time, Adu is not a future death, just a second-year rookie, facing Marion's sophisticated defense, he can't kill all directions like he faced Korver.

The Thunder's other scoring point, Jeff Green, is also a second-year player. In addition, his offensive methods are far less abundant than Durant's. With Wilson Chandler giving up his offensive defense, his efficiency is not high.

In addition, the Thunder's field lineup did not have a stable third scorer.

It is acceptable if it is only limited on the offensive end, but the Thunder are also blown up on the defensive end.

The person who blasted the Thunder was unexpected. It was not Duke holding the ball, nor Marion waiting to receive the ball from the three-point line, nor Wilson Chandler who was focused on defense.

It was David Lee and Ah Lian on the inside, who were killing all sides during this period.

The Thunder's weak inside line has to be ranked last in the league, and the future defensive gate Ibaka and Adams have not entered the NBA yet.

It is also reasonable that the score is gradually opened.
