Time flies, and in early October, the preseason for the NBA 10-11 season officially arrived.

Although the season has not started yet, fans have become crazy during the offseason.

Because the Heat have formed a super Big Three lineup this summer.

This situation undoubtedly greatly stimulates the senses of the fans and makes the fans eager to witness the power of the Big Three.

In addition, there are many versions of the Heat that will form the Big Three.

There are two most widely circulated versions. One is that the Heat formed the Big Three to compete with the Thunder. Because the Thunder swept the Cavaliers 4:0 in last year's finals, James couldn't wait to leave Cleveland.

As for the second version, it is rumored that "God's Calculator" Riley began planning this operation a long time ago, and the composition of the three Heat's Big Three has long been determined, and all this has nothing to do with the strength of the Thunder.

These two versions are naturally the most widely circulated at present, and for Thunder fans, they naturally prefer the first version.

Because the first version can show the strength of the Thunder, that is, it forces other stars to resist by squatting together to keep warm.

It can be said that the more terrifying the Heat’s Big Three is, the more it proves the terrifying Thunder.

However, for Heat fans, they prefer the second version.

After all, if you agree with the first version, it will prove that James and Bosh were beaten to run away, which would definitely not sound good to say.

Therefore, the second version can naturally show the mystery and power of the Heat, allowing the Heat to replace the Thunder and become the most dazzling existence in the league.

…………

On October 4, the Thunder welcomed their first opponent in the preseason. This opponent was not the Cavaliers in last year's Finals, but the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

Since James chose to leave the Cavaliers during the offseason, this means that the small city of Cleveland has completely lost the desire to watch, so the Cavaliers will definitely not have so many broadcasts in the new season.

As for the record, no one cares more, because in everyone's opinion, the Cavaliers in the new season are considered useless.

Even though James helped the Cavaliers get four draft picks by signing first and then changing, it is foreseeable that the Cavaliers will definitely be sluggish in the past two years.

In terms of the Lakers, the Lakers did not make much adjustments in the lineup in the new season, although the Lakers lost to the Thunder in the tiebreak last year.

But the Lakers' salary space has been locked, especially the combined salary of Kobe, Gasol and Bynum has reached about 58 million US dollars.

This has not counted Artest, Odom, Fisher and others.

In this case, it is naturally difficult for the Lakers to make too many adjustments. They only brought Matt Barnes and Steve Blake to fill in the lineup throughout the offseason.

Among them, for Matt Barnes's signing, everyone thinks it is prepared for the Thunder.

Because the Thunder's forward lineup is very strong, and Matt Barnes is nicknamed "evil guy" in the league, so on the defensive end, he can definitely become a barrier after Artest's exit.

Especially in last year's tiebreak battle, Artest was expelled from the Thunder, if the Lakers had Matt Barnes at that time, the final outcome would likely have become different.

After the game started, the starting lineup of the Thunder was Curry, Anthony, Durant, Jamison and Yao Ming.

The Lakers are Fisher, Kobe, Artest, Gasol and Bynum.

For the Thunder, Yang Fan really put Anthony as the shooting guard in this game. Even if he needs to face Kobe, Yang Fan believes that Anthony can handle it completely.

After all, these two people are really clear about each other's strength and often play against each other in the game, which is indeed nothing rare.

Since it was just a preseason game, neither side did all their efforts, and they were more tentatively looking for the feel.

However, compared with the Thunder's lineup, the Lakers did not make any changes in the starting lineup in the new season, so the Lakers gained the advantage as soon as the game started.

But Yang Fan was not concerned about this, because the win or loss in the preseason was really irrelevant. What Yang Fan was most concerned about was whether Anthony could be compatible with the team.

As for Yao Ming's words, Yang Fan believes that there will definitely be no problem with his running-in with the team.

Yang Fan paid attention to Anthony's personal status on the sidelines throughout the first half. After all, Anthony was the well-deserved core when he was in the Nuggets, and he could play singles with a large number of balls.

But after coming to the Thunder, Anthony had to play more reasonably.

Until the end of the first half, although the Thunder were behind in the score, they were still quite satisfied with Anthony's personal performance Yang Fan.

The style of playing for Anthony in the new season is mainly to use the middle distance after cross cover.

This is Anthony's strength. Anthony performed very well in the whole first half, and his attack and one pass with Yao Ming were even more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In addition, when the Thunder played the Hawks' attack on the court, although Anthony's personal ability on the offensive end was fine, his cooperation with his teammates was obviously very awkward.

Especially in terms of breakthroughs and passing the ball, Anthony made consecutive mistakes. He often had no tacit understanding with Curry and Jamison, who were not on the ball, let alone the ball.

Although Yang Fan was a little helpless when he saw this situation, he had to admit that this was the price that needed to be paid during the running-in process.

Fortunately, the Thunder's lineup is strong enough. Even if Anthony can't adapt to the Thunder's game rhythm for a while, Yang Fan still has plenty of time to help him integrate into the team as much as possible.

So during the halftime break, Yang Fan pointed out some of Anthony's problems in the locker room and asked him to try again in the second half and not worry about mistakes on the court.

In the entire second half, the Thunder mainly focused on running-in lineups, and the main players did not play much time, and they were basically suppressed within 20 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that this game started at the Thunder's home court, and when Yang Fan replaced McGrady and stood back together with Yao Ming on the court, the entire home court burst into a very intense cheer.

Even though McGrady's strength has declined by one in ten, McGrady can still stand out in the league in terms of popularity.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Durant now has the ability to compete for the first player in the league, if he only talks about popularity, then he may not be able to crush McGrady.

"Du~Du~Du"

As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, although the Thunder lost the preseason game at home, Yang Fan did not take it seriously.

Because what he wanted to see was already an answer, even if he was not satisfied with this answer, it would not affect Yang Fan's determination to defend his title at all!!

In the whole game, Durant only played for 14 minutes. He made 6 of 6 shots on the offensive end, including 2 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and completed his statement to the fans with a 14-point and 3 rebounds.

Tell everyone that he is still the MVP who has no solution to the attack.

As for Anthony and Yao Ming, who just joined the Thunder this year, did not play much time, and the two contributed 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists respectively.

Not to mention anything else, at least anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yao Ming has no problem in running-in with this team.

Those who don’t even know about it thought Yao Ming had been in this team for a long time, because all this was really without a sense of incongruity.

In addition, McGrady naturally showed up as a substitute player. In the 11 minutes of his appearance, McGrady made 1 of 3 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, contributing 3 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
