Jeff Van Gundy found that sitting in the commentary area of ​​Moda Center, his vision was much better than that of the coaching seat.

If the coaching seat can also be set in this place, the coaches' judgment of the game will be more accurate.

However, the bench and head coach on the sidelines are also one of the scenery on the basketball court. Van Gundy retracted her gaze and looked at her partner Mike Brynn. The game was about to begin, and Mike Brynn also signaled Van Gundy to see the information in front of him.

Van Gundy took the folder and glanced a few times. But soon, he threw the thick information aside. Van Gundy, the two teams of the Trail Blazers and the Thunder, were so familiar with them. The prepared information might not be as detailed as Van Gundy himself.

Mike Bryn smiled. It would definitely be quite interesting to be able to comment on the game with such a guy who really understands football.

Just as Van Gundy was looking around aimlessly, the players from the Trail Blazers and the Thunder began to play and warm up.

Van Gundy's eyes instantly became focused. There was nothing to be nervous about the job of commentator, but Van Gundy's feelings for both sides made him feel very complicated at this moment.

"Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to ESPN. I am Mike Brin. Sitting next to me is the NBA's best coach. Last season, Oklahoma City Thunder coach, Jeff Van Gundy, Jeff Jeff, say hello to everyone." Mike Brin skillfully introduced Van Gundy. With Van Gundy and himself, I believe that ESPN's ratings will definitely soar today.

"Thank you Mike. Today, we are both teams that have both offense and defense against each other. The Thunder's defense..." Speaking of this, Van Gundyton paused. The Thunder's defense was cultivated by him. It is really strange to evaluate the Thunder from the perspective of an onlooker.

"The Thunder's defense is very balanced from the outside to the inside. Andrew Morris will definitely bring great trouble to Ann. As for Westbrook and Durant, they are two outside players with excellent defense. Although they are playing at home and the Trail Blazers are still maintaining a record of winning all the time, it has to be said that the Thunder is really a tough tough bone to crack." Van Gundy immediately analyzed the game situation and had to admit that this guy is really very professional.

"You must know the Thunder very well, because you were the head coach of this excellent team last season. So what do you think the Thunder must overcome today? "Mike Bryn raised a question. So far, the cooperation between the two has been very smooth.

"Stability, the biggest problem with the Thunder's offense is stability. Whether it is Westbrook or Durant, these two guys often have unstable shooting rates. Especially when facing the Trail Blazers' high-intensity defense, the chances of this situation may be greater!" Van Gundy knew the advantages of the Thunder, and naturally understood the Thunder's weaknesses.

"So what do you think Coach Brooks should solve this problem?"

"If it were three or four years ago, I would have chosen to use Angel as the main attacker." Jeff Van Gundy's joke made Mike Bryn and the audience in front of the TV lean back and forth. Angel, this guy is now the biggest threat to the Thunder.

Van Gundy is getting better and he is becoming more and more devoted to the identity of a commentator, and fans have also found that the level of this "new" commentator is beyond expectations.

On the court, An Jie met his former old club again. As usual, he hugged the main players of the Trail Blazers and Thunder one by one. Everyone here was a brother who fought side by side with him back then.

But after the hug, Anjie immediately entered the battle. Paul George was very excited every time he opened the Blazers. The same motivation would happen when Anjie met Thunder.

Before the game started, espn gave a special comparison. A list appeared at the bottom of the screen, which listed the injury history of Angel and Westbrook. Among them, two of the same places were marked in red font by the director of espn. The injury that Angel and Westbrook both had is called meniscus tear.

Although they have experienced such serious injuries, this season, Angel and Westbrook are also among the top five in the MVP rankings.

This set of interesting comparisons undoubtedly demonstrated the unusual perseverance and strength of the two. A small comparison also doubled the fans' interest in this game.

Jeff Van Gundy now wants to rush to the visiting bench at Moda Center. He has been worried about whether Brooks will miss any details. You should know that at such a high-level game, details are the key to determining the outcome.

But at the same time, Van Gundy was constantly reminding himself. "I am just a commentator, Scott Brooks, the controller of the blue and white lightning."

With a complex mood, Anger and Morris stood in the middle circle. Once again, the broken puzzles of the past were put together. But today, this painting composed of the puzzles of the past has long become a different landscape.

At the beginning of the game, the confrontation between the two sides was quite fierce. Morris did not disappoint Anjie. This guy is really the top inside defender of the NBA. Even if Anjie faces him, it will be difficult.

The attacks between Westbrook and Durant were also as fierce as ever. The war between the two sides was about to break out, and no one was willing to lose this battle that was broadcast across the United States.

Angel performed slightly in the first quarter under Morris's desperate defense. At 27 to 25, the Oklahoma City Thunder ended the first 12-minute competition with a two-point lead.

Jeff Van Gundy seemed extremely excited when commenting on the game. Seeing his proud disciples calling for the wind and rain on the court, Van Gundy was so proud.

"This is Morris! This is why the league owes him an All-Star! A player as good as him failed to be selected into the All-Star lineup last season, which is simply funny!" Van Gundy's commentary was very sharp, which made fans feel happy to listen to Zhihu.

Angel didn't expect that he would be so frustrated when he was fighting against Morris. Although Morris's data was not gorgeous, his defensive skills were invisible to the data. It can be said that Morris was the entire inside version of Tony Allen.

Although this guy can't get a few points in a game, without him, the Thunder will definitely be greatly affected.

"That brat really played the best of what he learned back then." Ricard couldn't help but complain. Morris defended the most powerful center in the league. Ricard really didn't know whether to be happy or distressed.

"Ann, Morris is not a fool who doesn't know anything. You have to use more confusing means to get points on his head! As for Andre, defending Durant is different from defending LeBron. You can't make a shot or break, because Durant's most powerful shot happens to be his shot!" Ricard seized the time to make arrangements off the court. Seeing this scene, Van Gundy breathed out. Fortunately, he is not the one who fights wits and courage with Van Gundy now.

After some arrangements, the Trail Blazers' offense improved in the second quarter. In particular, Anjie, who used his superb footsteps to trick Morris into shooting again and again.

Morris worked very hard and his defense was very good. But Anjie's arsenal was too rich.

No matter how Morris summed up his failed experience, next time, Anjie will always defeat the Thunder team's inner defense backbone in different ways.

Just when Angel played smoothly and was about to take over the game, Sergi Ibaka, a big Congolese man, stood up bravely.

Ibaka's defense left a deep impression on Angel back then. Seeing that Morris' defense gradually collapsed, Brooks arranged for Ibaka to assist in defense more actively.

Although this will give Aldridge more open space opportunities, locking Anjie is the key to the moment.

Brooks' adjustment was immediate. Faced with the two inside defensive gates, Anger's offensive efficiency began to decline again. Fortunately, Aldridge seized those open opportunities, otherwise the Thunder would probably continue to expand the lead.

The half-time game ended soon, and the Thunder, who did almost perfect offense and defense, entered the second half with a double-digit lead at Moda Center for the first time!

The score difference between the two digits in the first half is also the biggest score difference between the Trail Blazers in the first half this season!

As Van Gundy said, the Oklahoma City Thunder can bring huge tests to Angel as long as it does not make mistakes.

Everyone predicted that the Trail Blazers' perfect start would end with the Thunder, and in the first half, the Thunder proved that they did have such strength.

Ricard and Anjie walked into the player channel with nervous expressions, and the fans in Moda Center were also using boos to suck the Thunder's spirit.

Jeff Van Gundy wiped the sweat from his head. Being a commentator was much more exciting than he thought.

After yelling for a half, Van Gundy's voice was already a little hoarse. But this guy did not slacken in his work, but instead became more excited than before.

Ricard and Angel, Van Gundy are really too familiar with each other. If these two are to give up, that would be a hell!

In the second half of the game, the Trail Blazers who are desperately betting will definitely put out all their strength. At that time, the Trail Blazers and the Thunder can offer a visual feast for fans!
Chapter completed!
