Even though Anjie hopes that such a beautiful night will never pass, it can only be a luxury. Time will never show mercy.

After Christmas, the festive atmosphere in the whole United States was still very grand. The streets were full of Christmas trees. People took advantage of the Christmas discounts and went shopping in the mall.

However, there are some professions that cannot enjoy too long holidays during such festivals, and professional players are undoubtedly the kind of professions that cannot rest.

The fatigue of the Thunder team was exposed before. The reason why the team lost two consecutive games before Christmas was closely related to the players' tired spirit and physical health. However, after a few days of vacation, the young Thunder seemed to have regained vitality. Jeff Van Gundy could see this point from the enthusiasm for adaptive training alone.

Even though today is game day, Van Gundy arranged adaptive training early. He knew that such training would not exhaust the players at night, but would help them quickly regain their competitive state.

For the Thunder, who has not played or trained for two consecutive days, the opponent they have to face at night will definitely be the best choice to test their form. The Detroit Pistons, the team that once scared, the Bad Boys Legion, and the group that made Jordan afraid of three-pointers.

If you think that history is too long, the Pistons have also had glorious moments since the 21st century.

The Pistons Five Tigers, a seemingly grassroots team, are all All-Star players. In the finals of the O3o4 season, Larry Brown led the Pistons with an iron-blooded defense to eliminate the Los Angeles Lakers with a luxurious F4 lineup with a total score of 4-yi. This team seems to be born specifically to fight against the mighty.

This season, although the Pistons are currently only ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, their room for improvement is still very large. In addition to the O4-year championship members Hamilton, Prince and Rashid Wallace, Allen Iverson's midway joining undoubtedly gave the people of Motor City a shot of heart aid.

Westbrook has never been so focused when he warmed up. After all, the 3rd-small man wearing a blue jersey opposite him is the idol Yi that Westbrook admires the most.

"Wow, it's so big." Katherine looked at the huge player poster outside the Chesapeake Energy Arena and opened her mouth wide in surprise. On the poster, there was a photo of all the Thunder players. Against the white background, the Thunder players lined up, Durant, as the team's core, stood in the middle with his hands in his arms, while Angel and Westbrook wrapped their hands around him. Under the feet of the players, big black letters were stringed into very short but powerful words. "Defend your home court!"

Since the holiday came the next day, Catherine and the Bearded continued to stay in Oklahoma City. Today, they undoubtedly received free tickets from Angel. Of course, the parents of Angel and Westbrook were also watched with them.

Defend your home court, after the game begins, Anjie interprets the meaning of this slogan with practical actions.

"Rashid Wallace was blocked by Angel for two consecutive shots! Maybe he could easily deal with this rookie three years ago, but now, Roaring Tianzun has to accept his old age!"

In order to deal with Iverson's fast-paced characteristics, the Pistons lined up a small lineup to adapt to Iverson's rhythm. However, facing the defense deployed by Jeff Van Gundy, they failed to achieve miraculous results. Rashid Wallace came to the fifth position to fight Anger, which seemed very difficult.

Basketball is not a simple yiyi2 game. Sometimes it is not properly matched, and yiyi will even be less than zero. In order to adapt to Iverson, the Pistons have changed their previous style of playing, which is not necessarily a good thing.

On the defensive end, the Pistons have not been able to pass on the previous iron-blooded defense.

"Little Prince" Tayshaun Prince was once a blue-collar star of the Pistons. His solid offensive skills usually can attack the Pistons when they can't make a start. The Little Prince's defense is the team's treasure.

However, as he grows older, although Prince retains his offensive ability, his defense becomes thinner, and he is easily at a disadvantage when he is against Yi.

He may still be able to support him when facing an ordinary small forward, but facing Kevin Durant, who has strong offensive capabilities, Prince is also willing to defend but not enough.

However, if you want to talk about the most eye-catching person in this game, it must be Westbrook, who faces his idol.

When I used to play at the Street Stadium in southern Los Angeles, Iverson was the object of imitation of the short Westbrook. This rebellious little man had a great influence on Westbrook's playing style.

Facing Iverson himself today, Westbrook showed his strong offensive talent to his heart's content. But the rookie is always a rookie, and Allen Iverson will not allow himself to lose to a rookie.

"Westbrook's dribble pace is very fast! But Iverson is unmoved! In Iverson's eyes, these actions of Westbrook are simply pediatrics!" The commentator was right. When Iverson swept past Jordan in NBa, Westbrook didn't know where the wild court was abused.

Westbrook suddenly started, and even Iverson had to admire the little guy's first step explosive power. However, basketball is not track and field, and it is far from enough explosive power alone.

Seeing the right time, Iverson rushed out and reached out to take away Westbrook's ball.

"A clean and neat steal! Iverson grabbed the ball at the moment when Westbrook broke through! No one knows the movements of people better than Iverson. Westbrook paid the price for his immatureness!"

Iverson has made full progress. Although he has been wandering around in recent seasons and has not been able to live well, Iverson's scoring ability has not declined due to these.

Even Westbrook failed to catch up with the Pistons' No. 3 short man who was as fast as lightning. Facing the basket Iverson easily made a layup, completing the Pistons' final shot in the first quarter.

yi9 is yi7, with Iverson's last-minute defensive counterattack, the Pistons temporarily led the Thunder by two points!

The two sides were still anxious in the second quarter. When their hard strength was not as good as their opponents, the strong will of the Thunder Third Young Master made the team bit the score tightly.

Although An Jie didn't make many moves on the offensive end, his contribution on the defensive end was very huge.

The Pistons' inside line this season was originally a weakness. Rashid Wallace and veteran Antonio McDyce were both power forwards, and suddenly they asked them to play in a small lineup and reach the center position. Neither of these two people got used to it.

The Pistons' center Jason Mark Hill, who is the only center that can be seen, is only 2 meters tall, and is very shorter than him than other centers, not to mention that he is facing Anjie's tall tower.

Mark Hill used to rely on his own bullets to make up for his height shortcomings, but Anger's positioning and defense made Mark Hill unable to jump even if he jumped, so the advantage of bullets disappeared.

The Pistons' inside players could not control An Jie, so the outside players' breakthroughs were naturally disturbed. As soon as the game reached the second quarter, An Jie had already sent four blocks! There were also many goals that could not be scored under An Jie's interference, but the data could not be displayed.

After the second quarter, the Pistons not only failed to open the score in the second quarter, but instead lost the offensive rhythm under Anjie's tough defense. 46 to 44, the Pistons barely maintained this weak two-point advantage based on Iverson's personal offense.

"The defense is done well! Anjie! As long as you continue to maintain such a defensive performance, we will win in the second half!" Jeff Van Gundy's defensive first idea made him appreciate Anjie's performance. Now the whole league is being mentioned, and everyone is lowering the height of the lineup in exchange for mobility, while Anjie uses his performance to clarify the reputation of traditional basketball and traditional centers.

In the second half, the Pistons also improved their defensive strength and double-teamed Durant.

The effect of the change was very significant. Durant's offensive efficiency plummeted in the second half, and all four three-point shots were off the basket. However, thanks to Anjie's height and position at the basket, the Thunder got a considerable number of second offensive opportunities.

Durant was defended with strict defense, Westbrook made frequent mistakes, and Anger suffered from not having enough time to change roles. Finally, the Pistons' fierce attack stopped the yi period, but the Thunder failed to seize the opportunity to reverse the score.

66 to 64, the difference between two points is still a two-pointer. Detroiters definitely didn't expect to have Allen Iverson and they would be forced into such a mess by Yi teams with the lowest rankings.

However, the Thunder, who had been resting for two days, finally showed the advantage of youth in the fourth quarter. The Thunder Third Young Master remained active in the fourth quarter, but the Pistons players seemed to lack strength.

Except for Iverson, the attacks of the Pistons were all in a quagmire. Richard Hamilton, the "Mask Man" who came to the small forward, failed to score in the fourth quarter! After Anjie carefully supported and defended for three quarters, he suddenly came out in the fourth quarter and became the core of the Thunder on the offensive end. Jeff Van Gundy's arrangement completely disrupted the Pistons' defensive deployment. After all, the Pistons coach arranged all the defensive strategies against Durant and Westbrook based on his performance in the first three quarters. As for Anjie, he seemed to have too much expectations for the elderly roaring Tianzun.

With Anjie's efforts, the Thunder took a four-point lead in the middle of the fourth quarter. After that, the two sides scored each other again, and neither could widen the score, and no one could close the score.

Until the last twenty seconds Iverson's key three-pointer went out of the basket and Anjie grabbed the backcourt rebound, which was officially announced by the Thunder.

Although the score was very anxious, An Jie did not feel how tired he was after the game. Even though Yi was suppressed at the beginning, the Thunder played the game with his own rhythm. On the other hand, the leading Pistons, fearing that they were catching up, became more and more chaotic, and finally collapsed in the final quarter.

Looking up at the big screen, Iverson hung his head helplessly. As he grew older, he felt that the nBa League game was becoming more and more difficult to play.

With 22 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, Iverson now has only this...

Anjie scored not many points in this game, and his 6-point data was only more than Wallace, who was suppressed by himself in the whole game, and most of them were obtained in the fourth quarter. However, 7 rebounds, 6 blocks and 9 assists made fans know that this Chinese big man is an indispensable ring for winning.

The Christmas holiday continues, and after two consecutive losses, the Thunder's rebound path continues.

After defeating the Pistons with a slight advantage, many people thought that the Thunder had just had good luck. However, when the Thunder, who fought back to back, won the Wizards and won two consecutive victories, this sound suddenly became less.

Durant scored 23 points, Westbrook scored 2 points, and Anger scored 5 points and rebounded. Although the Wizards, who lost the "General", rebelled, they still couldn't escape the fate of being shot by the third young master of the Thunder. yio 4 to 95, the Wizards' record turned into a pity of 4 wins and 24 losses, continuing to consolidate the "throne" at the bottom of the league.

Two consecutive losses ushered in Christmas, and two beautiful consecutive wins were sent away. Until now, the Thunder lost only 3 games, and the biggest winning streak has reached five games. The Rookie of the Month and the team's higher ranking seems to be waving to Angel and Westbrook!

However, just as December was about to end, looking at the red circles on the schedule, he became nervous again. Another five consecutive wins seemed not so easy to win.
Chapter completed!
