Derek Fischer, he was definitely an unexpected surprise that the Thunders had. Although this guy has passed his year of playing, it does not mean that he is joining the Thunder just for retirement.

At least this guy's three-pointer is still fatal, and his organizational ability is still useful. This guy is also very suitable to play under Jeff Van Gundy's system.

Eric Bledsoe, another masterpiece of Thunder general manager Presti. In the season losing Angel, fortunately, the Thunder was able to continue to maintain strong performance with Bledsoe. Although there are rumors that this guy will leave the Thunder under the suppression of Westbrook, at least now, he is still one of the most dangerous characters in the Thunder.

Nicholas Batum, the French striker was the main bargaining chip for the Trail Blazers to negotiate with the Thunder. Craig Smith and the Trail Blazers' 2013 round picks were indeed very useful to the Thunder, but if Batum was missing, Presti would not have completed the deal with the Trail Blazers.

The strength of those who can be so popular with Presti is usually not too bad. When he was still on the Trail Blazers, the Frenchman had already made his mark. This season, he has become one of the Thunder's stable scoring points. If it weren't for Durant, the Frenchman would have the ability to play!

With the support of Collison and Cook, the second lineup of these five guys is definitely very strong. The score can be widened in the middle and late stages of the first quarter because of their existence! Otherwise, it may not be necessary whether the Thunder are still in the lead now.

Ricard has very limited players in his hands. After tossing and turning, only those people can take advantage of him. How to curb the strength of the Thunder's second team? Tactics can solve certain problems, but tactics can never make Camby and Cott. Thomas' degree faster, Crawford's playing style calmly, and Contney Lee's skills become comprehensive. Tactics can only help the Trail Blazers resist attacks for a period of time, but cannot make the Trail Blazers regain control of the situation.

Is there no way? Of course not, this method may make An Jie the core person more difficult.

"Can I continue to go?" Anjie's eyes were full of expectations. He had long hoped to hear Ricard say this.

"That's right! You'll give me the first time the second quarter! According to the Thunder's previous rotation habits, they will still let the second team stay on the field and play at the beginning of the second quarter. I want you to rule this period and dominate this period! As for others, I will send more substitutes to the bench. When An leaves the court for rest, players who have enough rest must take the lead. An, do you know how to do it, right?" Ricard looked at An Jie seriously. He said that he wanted An Jie to rule that period, which was not a joke.

"Of course, I just kicked them hard according to their butts!" An Jie responded to Rikar's seriousness with a hideous smile.

"Very good." Ricard seemed to be very satisfied with Anger's answer. Afterwards, he announced the people who would partner with Anger later. As he said, except for Gerald Wallace, the other three were substitutes. Ricard explained the subsequent tactical arrangements very quickly. They had already practiced the practice, and now they were just making explanations.

The whistle sounded at the beginning of the second quarter. Since Morris won the scramble in this game, the team that attacked first in the second quarter became the Trail Blazers.

However, the guy who was standing at the bottom line to prepare the ball at this moment made everyone in the Chesapeake Energy Arena feel their hearts in their throats.

"An appeared at the beginning of the second quarter! This is a bit different from his usual rotation. Let's see if An can lead the Trail Blazers' second team to turn the situation around."

Seeing An Jie approaching him step by step, the Thunder team's substitute center, Nick Collison, the big brother Nick Collison, felt as if he had goosebumps.

"Damn it, it's so fucking damn!" The big white man kept mumbling, An Jie, he was a good friend off the court, but when he was on the court, he was definitely one of the worst opponents!

When he was in the training ground, Collison was like Kambie now, and he suffered a lot because of Anjie. At that time, he thought that fortunately Anjie was with him, otherwise, if he met in the official game, Anjie's attack power would only be even more terrifying.

However, now, this scene is about to be born. Collison set up his formation and made sufficient preparations. When Anjie leaned on him and pushed in, Collison realized that everything he did was futile!

Nick Collison is a role model for the team on and off the court. He has a strong and tough style and is willing to accept various roles. It can be said that when Anjie was in the Thunder, Collison undoubtedly set a good example for him.

But no matter how tough it is, Collison's core strength is actually not strong. In addition, he has common problems that most white American insiders have, such as bounce and slow movement. All of this makes this professional attitude and profession, but limited ability, the Thunder veterans who face An Jie are not at all cheap!

As Collison's teammate back then, Anjie naturally knew Collison's advantages and his shortcomings. Anjie also knew them clearly.

Once he held the ball, Anjie didn't even use fake moves, so he dribbled the ball and turned around and broke through!

After toughly carrying a certain space, An Jie rushed directly to the basket! This simple and crude look like there is no breakthrough in technical content. An Jie is really good at putting it on Collison!

Collison chased after him, but he was older and unhappy, so he could only watch An Jie get farther and farther away from him.

"Bang!" An Jie jumped with one foot when he was a few steps away from the basket, put the ball behind his head with both hands, and then vigorously dunked the basketball in his hand into the basket. The basket of the Chesapeake Energy Arena has not been rampant by An Jie for a long time.

"Oh." Collison had to pick up the basketball that was so high that he had already worked very hard, but An Jie beat him to no avail. There was no way, it was impossible to curb An Jie. What the Thunder can do now is to exchange An Jie's points for the points he took through offensive means.

Under this ambition, Bledsoe bravely attacked the Trail Blazers' penalty area. However, Angel's ruthless big hand once again enveloped the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

"Iconic volleyball hat! Oh my God, Oklahoma City fans seem very excited, even if the one who was blocked just now was their own players! How long has the Thunder fans not seen this iconic volleyball hat? Now, this scene is finally being staged here!" Mike Brynn has no immunity to the beautiful closure, but Anger can always use various closures to make the old man Mike Brynn continue to be excited. As soon as he is excited, the fans can hear a more passionate and exciting commentary.

Ibaka may have staged countless wonderful blocks here, but his blocking lacks a little deterrent power compared to Anjie.

Bledsoe's breakthrough was very fast, so when he took the air, his flight was also very fast. However, Anjie's powerful block suddenly appeared, causing the already high-moving basketball to be slapped away. The ball flew directly to the third row of the audience. Anjie smiled and shook his head at Bledsoe, but Bledsoe felt distressed.

Although it was blocked, it was an out-of-bounds ball, and the ball rights were still in the hands of the Thunder. However, Bledsoe, whose morale was greatly hit, wasted his second chance.

A long-distance three-pointer is Bledsoe's last choice. Perhaps the block just now has left a shadow on the young defender. The penalty area led by Anjie cannot be broken!

Then, Collison and Cook used double-teaming tactics against Anjie. The cunning Collison kept interfering with Anjie, making him unable to hold the ball comfortably. Cook, who was beside him, was looking for opportunities and ready to cut off the basketball at any time. However, Anjie calmly protected the ball, and his calmness was completely inconsistent with his age.

Seeing Contney Lee use the back-run and the pick-and-roll to throw away Bledsoe, Anjie didn't think about it and immediately started the pass.

Collison and Cook did not expect that with the two of them, Anjie could spread so easily!

Contney Lee did not disappoint An Jie, and his hand was on the verge of a knife. This guy's three-pointer was accurate and ruthless, and the Thunder's lead shrank again.

"Ann shook his shoulders and shot under double teams! Hehe, he turned over and made a jump shot under the interference of Collison and Cook!"

"One blocked again! This time the unlucky person became the Frenchman Nicholas Batum! He thought this fast attack was stable, but he didn't expect that he could complete the pursuit under such circumstances!"

"On the spot, dunk! Oh my God, the dear Collison, Ann used to take him as an example, but now, Collison definitely regrets bringing Ann, a destructive opponent."

"No, no, Collison shouldn't have shot on An's head. I was not surprised at all if I didn't score the ball."

In the subsequent game, Mike Bryn seemed to become a storyteller, and Anjie was the protagonist of the story.

Every commentary of his words seemed to be unable to separate from Anjie. There was no way. Anjie's performance during this period was too eye-catching. As Ricard said, he completely dominated this period! He scored ten in a row, which was the "slaughter" made by Anjie leading the Trail Blazers' second team.

When Van Gundy saw Anjie appearing on the stage, he foresaw this scene of life. But he didn't expect that all this would be so violent.

Under pressure, he had to replace the player in advance, and Ricard also took all those who had been resting for a long time.

Except for Anjie, this guy must rest now. Even if he wants to play again, it will be at the end of the second quarter.

During this period, Aldridge took on the responsibility that the second in command of the team should bear. Although Ibaka's defense was imperative, Aldridge still stubbornly won most of the team's scores.

However, Aldridge alone still couldn't compete with the Thunder's strongest team. The advantage that Anjie had just established was gradually tied again. There was no way, Ricard had no intention of allowing that advantage to continue. But at least now, the Trail Blazers and the Thunder are on the same starting line, and they have gotten rid of the passive situation at the end of the first quarter.

Afterwards, Anjie made another appearance, and the Thunder and the Trail Blazers used their players to fight again.

Facing the defense of Ibaka and Morris, Angel is no longer so relaxed. His scoring pace has slowed down a lot, and more often, the Trail Blazers rely on overall offense to play.

On the other hand, the Thunder were not easy to face Anger's defense. Westbrook's breakthrough was frequently interfered with three-pointers, and today he also made 4 shots. Fortunately, Durant felt hot, which prevented the Thunder's offense from cooling down.

Like the first quarter, the war between the two sides was exciting and fierce. It was very good-looking, but no one could break the gap.

Durant scored 13 points in the first half, while Anjie scored 16 points, 54-54. The two teams ended their first half with a tie.

The players who rushed off the court to rest clapped their hands. In the first half, the team finally passed by smoothly. In the second half, it was time to think of some ways to gain an advantage!
Chapter completed!
