"Be careful Russell, that guy is much better than O.J. Mayo!" Anjie has never been stumped by any rookie. Even Beasley, who is known as the most comprehensive genius, has never made Anjie so difficult. But just now, from Derek Ross' layup, Anjie can see that this No. 1 pick and others are really not a good guy!

Russell didn't realize Ross's power? Ross' quick breakthrough and unabated change just now made him think that the yi number in front of him was just a phantom. What's terrible is that the person who made those actions just now was Ross, not an illusion.

Degree, body, these two things that Westbrook relies on to survive, Derek Ross yi possesses.

Facing Rose's defense, Westbrook was very uncomfortable. After playing for a season, Westbrook couldn't meet a few point guards who could fight him head-on, but when he really met, he was a little at a loss.

Angel created a fleeting opportunity for Westbrook through the pick-and-roll, but when Westbrook broke through with the help of cover, Ross made up for it incredible. In terms of pick-and-roll defense, Ross is indeed much better than Westbrook.

There was no way, Westbrook could only carry Rose's body into the penalty area. Unexpectedly, under the fierce physical confrontation throughout the whole process, Westbrook didn't even jump up. Although this layup escaped the block of Tyrus Thomas, he lost his accuracy under the interference of Rose.

"Ros has just broken through the defenses of Westbrook and Ann in succession, but Westbrook is unable to score points on the No. 1 pick. In the first round, Derek Ross completely suppressed Westbrook!" People did not expect that Westbrook, who shined in February last year, completely lost the rhythm under Ross' strict defense.

However, many people have forgotten that the Thunder's first attack point is neither Angel nor Westbrook, but the big boy Kevin Durant who doesn't talk much!

Facing Ben Gordon, who barely replaced the third position, Durant is at ease on the offensive end.

Winnie Denagro let British Ben Gordon replace Roll Deng play as a small forward, which can indeed ensure the Bulls' offensive firepower, but Gordon, who is struggling to defend and shoot defenders, naturally has no choice but to use Durant, who is well-known.

Seeing Durant frequently running out of opportunities, Anjie also gave up his plan to attack. After all, Durant is more confident than him now.

After receiving the ball, Durant pulled up and shot. Not only did Ben Gordon swoosh a little slower, but Durant had no way to interfere after taking off. He easily made a three-pointer into Rand and told everyone that he was the protagonist today!

Derek Ross is working hard to win the award for the best rookie, but Durant is the one who has already won this honor! In front of Angel, Westbrook and Ross, he is the guy who represents the highest level.

"This game may be the best collision of the next three to five years." Espn's commentator raised the height of this game to another level.

"Derick Rose's trolley layup! Beautiful! Neither Angel nor Joe Smith could stop him!"

"Anger is going to play singles! No, this is a pass! Durant gets another chance! Hit! Ben Gordon can't pose a threat to Durant at all!"

"Tyrus Thomas relies too much on his athletic ability, but when he has no advantage in weight or height, his athletic ability is useless! Angel's little hooking hand makes it easy to hit!"

Everyone has already played their own pace, but Westbrook, who has attracted much attention before the game, has been unable to provide a decent performance to respond to Rose's strong offense.

However, the person who scored the most in the yi quarter was not Ross. He stopped after making two extremely high-viewing layups. He knew the intention of Denagro to line up the three-guard lineup. In addition to Ross, Ben Gordon and Larry Hughes had very strong offensive firepower. He had to activate those two people so that they could help themselves win the game.

Indeed, the reason why Denagro took the risk of using Ben Gordon, who was not good at defending, was his offensive firepower.

The lineup of the double-scoring guards did not disappoint the head coach Denagro. Ben Gordon scored 2 points in seven shots in a single quarter! Larry Hughes scored yiyi points in a single quarter. The strong performance of these two guys made Denagro ecstatic. Their offensive effect completely showed their expectations.

Because the Thunder were afraid of Rose's breakthrough, the lineup was a bit too contracted, which gave Gordon and Hughes, who were good at shooting, many opportunities.

But the Thunder were not scared by the explosions of these two people. Durant scored 9 points for four of ten shots, and Anger scored 100% shooting percentage against Thomas, scoring 6 points. Only Westbrook could not open it for a long time. He made only six shots, and even lost a free throw.

After the second quarter, the Bulls scored 3 points, while the Thunder fell two points behind. No one was willing to give in to the stage, whether it was a rookie or an old man.

"Defend Derek Ross' breakthrough! We continue to shrink the formation!" Even though Ben Gordon and Larry Hughes played beautiful data in the 1st quarter, Jeff Van Gundy decided to focus the Thunder's defense on Ross.

Gordon and Hughes' shooting cannot be made straight, but Ross' breakthrough would be very dangerous if he doesn't defend tightly.

After the second quarter, Larry Hughes' performance immediately made Van Gundy full of confidence in his arrangement. Facing Damien Wilkins's strict defense, Larry Hughes, who scored a goal in the second quarter, missed two goals. As long as his shot failed, it means that the Bulls' offense ended, because Anjie would not lose defensive rebounds!

On the third offense, Derek Ross saw that the Thunder's defensive formation was mainly to shrink and protect the basket. If he forced his breakthrough, it would only put himself in the siege.

Bulls substitute center Joe Jin Noah went up to pick-and-roll, and Ross immediately ran to the basket.

Sure enough, seeing Rosyi break through, the entire Thunder team's defense shrank back to the basket, and now there are opportunities outside the three-point line!

Ross took off against Angel and Wilcox, who came on as a substitute, but his goal was not to the basket, but to be left with an empty Larry Hughes.

"Ross' breakthrough attracted the attention of all Thunder players, Larry Hughes's chance! This shooting guard is feeling hot today!"

The feel is hot, which is only relative to the second quarter. After missing two consecutive shots in the second quarter, Hughes also threw away his hot feel.

Damien Wilkins' blocking seemed to be just a comfort to himself, and he did not interfere with Hughes' shooting at all.

"Damn!" Wilkins cursed in annoyance, but in the next second he heard the metal sound of the basketball and the basket colliding.

"Oh! Larry Hughes couldn't even seize the opportunity to shoot an open spot. He had already missed three consecutive shots!"

Although Noah's physical condition is better than Tyrus and Thomas, this frizzy guy is completely unable to shake Angel's position. The three-point rebound is more uncertain, so Angel becomes more focused.

"Here you!" The basketball yi was knocking on the frame, and huge force immediately came from behind Anjie. Noah was trying hard to squeeze into the penalty area.

An Jie spread his long arms and his butt, then grabbed the position and got the rebound again.

"It seems that Larry Hughes has exhausted his hot touch in the second quarter, but it's a pity that Derek Rose's wonderful story."

Both sides played several more rounds, and while the official timeout was taken advantage of the official timeout, Van Gundy took down the Thunder Third Young Master who had played for the whole quarter. They would not get much time in the second quarter. Now being replaced means that they will not be able to play again until the end of the second quarter.

"Russell, play smarter, don't compete with Derek Ross." Van Gundy reminded Westbrook, who had a poor shooting percentage, that he has only scored two points in the game until now.

Not only Van Gundy let the main players rest, Denagro also replaced his three most aggressive defenders. The entire second quarter was almost a direct showdown between the two teams. Except for the Bulls power forward Drew Guden, everyone else did not get the chance to play until the last three minutes of the second quarter.

During the bench player battle between the two sides, Drew Gooden firmly controlled the game against Wilcox. In a single quarter, eight points, the Bulls' offensive strengths were not the same in each quarter.

After both sides continued to make their debut, Gudeng's momentum gradually subsided.

In the remaining three minutes, this was not enough for the Bulls' three defenders and the Thunder's three young men to punch.

Angel faced Tyrus and Thomas actively turned around and turned around. Sure enough, the spring man jumped up without hesitation.

His jumping height is still so surprising, but no matter how high he jumps, what's the use? An Jie's back turn is just a fake move, and he didn't plan to shoot at all!

Seeing himself easily shake his opponent, An Jie picked up the basket without hesitation, and the ball entered the half-game just reached "zero". Not long after playing in the second quarter, the first half ended.

"The two sides obviously cannot satisfy the audience in the second quarter. Compared to the exciting second quarter, the second quarter is too dull." All substitutes, there are no stars, so few people really like to watch such games.

Van Gundy looked at the score on the big screen with satisfaction, 54 to 53, and temporarily won the first half with Anjie's final attack on the Thunder.

The atmosphere in the Bulls' locker room was very calm. They didn't feel that they were behind because the team's strongest offensive point was just making their mark in the first half.

"Derick, your task in the second half is to attack! I hope you can pull the formation as wide as possible to create a space for Derek to break through." Denagro drew his position on the tactical board, with the sharpest dagger in his hand. It's time to show his sharpness in the second half!
