As for the offensive end, in addition to playing some defensive counterattacks, the Thunder in positional battles has added a lot of pick-and-rolls and running positions without the ball.

The biggest change in the preseason is probably that the ball holder changes from Westbrook to Durant.

Because compared to Westbrook at this time, Durant has an advantage that Westbrook never had.

That is, even if the Thunder cannot create offensive opportunities through running without the ball, Durant can still make some misaligned singles through his personal ability.

After all, Mike Miller is only two meters and three meters tall, and his arm span is also not very good, and his personal ability to be diarrhea on the defensive end.

Durant has too many advantages when facing him. At least whether Durant's shooting can be made is basically nothing to do with Miller's defense.

Because this kind of thing depends on Durant's own feel on the court. After all, it is difficult for Miller to put too much pressure and interference on him on the defensive end.

As the first quarter continued, looking at the team that was obviously in the upper hand on the court, Yang Fan, who was standing on the sidelines, unconsciously touched his chin. He seemed not to be too happy about all this.

It is no exaggeration to say that before this game started, Yang Fan did not think he could lose.

Even though the team is not very stable on the offensive end, the key is that this Timberwolves is really too rubbish.

Yang Fan felt that even if the Thunder could not find a reason to lose by relying on his own personal moves.

If you really lose this game in the end, it must be because the Thunder themselves lost too many shots.

Unfortunately, judging from the performance in the first half of the first quarter, the Thunder's offensive feel is obviously good.

Among them, Kevin Durant made consecutive mid-range shots when facing Miller, which made Mike Miller feel a little miserable, and he just almost went to the referee to tell him that Durant cheated.

After all, even if Miller basically doesn't lose his position on the defensive end, Miller's fingertips, who jumped with all his might, could only reach Durant's head, while Durant's shooting point was lifted very high.

So how can Miller defend himself? You can't kick Durant out of the field with a Foshan shadowless foot!!

As time goes by, Yang Fan has carried out several lineup rotations one after another. Even young players often take a long time to find the feel when they first play.

However, Yang Fan still believes that he has this patience.

Finally, after the first quarter, the Thunder played at home were:

27:19

The Timberwolves were eight points ahead and ended the first quarter of the two sides.

After the first quarter, the Thunder's home fans were obviously a little excited, even though the team had already shown good offensive firepower in the preseason.

But I never expected that after entering the regular season, when both sides played with real tricks and guns, the Thunder could still make such a smooth attack.

At least compared to last season, it was a qualitative transformation.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is in heaven and in the earth.

Even if the Thunders' opponent in this game is the league's crocodile team Timberwolves, in the eyes of fans, the Thunders are also crocodiles?!!

However, as the first quarter was finished, the fans were surprised to find out.

"Fuck!! The team has secretly left the ranks of croakers?!!"

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides replaced most of the substitutes to compete.

It can be said that although the Thunder this season looks like some new recruits, Yang Fan has a lot of confidence in the depth of rotation.

Especially in this offseason personal training, Yang Fan conducted some unilateral focus training based on each person's technical characteristics.

In this case, some rookies who originally looked inconspicuous can often bring their field to the extreme.

Then when these people are pieced together, the combat power they can contribute on the field is definitely no less than others.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Timberwolves' substitute lineup is really bad. Except for Kevin Love and Craig Smith, the others are not enough to watch.

In the first half of the second quarter, Yang Fan waved his hand and put all the main players off the court for rest.

At this time, the Thunder's lineups on the court are:

Dragic, Watson, Jeff Green, Ibaka and Jordan Jr.

Especially Jeff Green's point, letting him score points in the second team, it was basically like the Hawks entering the chicken coop.

You know, Jeff Green had already shown very strong personal abilities last season, and this season, Green has made some evolutions during the offseason.

It was only because his personal playing style was incompatible with several other starters that Yang Fan put him on the bench in the new season and played the role of the sixth man.

In the second quarter, when most of the main players of both sides left the court to rest, the offensive momentum of the Thunder did not decrease, but instead continued to rise.

This situation obviously made Timberwolves head coach Witman feel a little confused.

"Where are everyone who promised to be a croquette?"

"That's the result?"

"So fierce??newcomer??"

As the Timberwolves were about to be played, head coach Witman hurriedly called for a timeout.

And after the timeout, I directly took the main player and topped it up, and I didn't want to see this kind of game process similar to the fallen flowing water.

As time went by on the court, Yang Fan gradually returned the main players.

Finally, after the half-time, the Thunder had already:

51:38

The lead on the court was expanded to 13 points, making the Timberwolves completely useless in the first half.

Throughout the first half, Jefferson played a bumpy and bumpy game. As long as he got the ball at a low post, he would inevitably be harassed by other players.

Even during this process, my teammates made several shots outside the three-point line, but for Jefferson personally, this is really fucking aggrieved!!

On the other hand, the Thunder also missed a lot of shots that should have hit in the entire first half.

But overall, the offensive end is relatively smooth.

Especially Kevin Durant, who is the star of the family, Durant played for a total of 16 minutes in the whole first half.

Individuals made 7 of 11 shots on the offensive end, including 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line and 2 of 2 free throws. Facing Mike Miller, he efficiently contributed 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Perfectly explain to the outside world what is the leader of the new generation!!

It has to be said that only half of the game has passed, but for the Timberwolves, there is already a downward trend.

Especially the Timberwolves head coach Witman, who once suspected that he must have been played by the league.

What about the promised chicken pecking at each other? What about the promised brothers?

That's it?!!
Chapter completed!
