No matter how powerful Jeff Van Gundy is, he has no magic. It is simply a fantasy to make the team turn aside in just three days!

But why did the Thunder play so well today? There is a reason for the Suns.

This summer, the meritorious coach Mike D'Anthony, who led the Suns to run the storm, went to the East Coast and became the New York Knicks. After D'Anthony joined the Knicks, the Suns announced that Terry Porter, who was talking about tactics to the players, became the Suns' third coach.

The Suns' record before the Thunder was 9 wins and 5 losses. This result is not bad for a team like the Suns, but it is definitely not good. Careful fans can see that the Suns' offense seems to be not as sharp as before.

Although the Sharks' absence will have some impact on the team, the root cause of the problem is Terry Porter!

Like Porter and Jeff Van Gundy, they are more defensive head coaches. However, as fans have seen, the Suns are obviously a team that is better at offense!

"Our defense was too bad in the first quarter! The team that lost ten consecutive games in Yiji scored so many points in the first quarter. Robin, I want you to defend the Thunder's No. 6 center, I want you to make sure his passes are no longer so threatening!" Terry Porter made the right arrangement. The Thunder, which lacks effective organization, does have a lot of shooting rate. But he wants to let the team that is good at offense pay attention to defense. Is it really okay to do this?

At the beginning of the second quarter, Anger obviously felt the huge oppression from Robin Lopez. Lopez raised his hands and pressed him against him, and kept moving. Anger, who was completely blocked from his sight, did not dare to pass the ball rashly, so he could only return the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook broke into the penalty area with Nash's defense like a chicken, and then made a quick stop and jump shot, avoiding Stoudemire's assisted defense, and also stably hit the ball.

Although the Thunder scored this goal, it was a complete manifestation of personal ability. Oklahoma City fans were still cheering for the goal at the top of their lungs, but Van Gundy, who saw the clues off the court, frowned. He immediately took out the small notes from his suit pocket, looking for a solution to the problem.

Anjie listened to Van Gundy's opinion. During this time, he deliberately approached the three-second zone.

As soon as he turned around, Nash had already moved forward quickly again.

Except for Nash who temporarily stopped because he wanted to organize the offense, other Suns players were still running non-stop. However, compared to last season, the running positions of Suns players now seem a bit messy.

Suddenly! Nash passed the ball to Laga who ran outside the three-point line. In Bale's hands, just as the iron-blooded veteran was about to end his own attack, Bale made a quick pass from the ground to give Stoudemire the opportunity to cut in.

"The coach is right!" The Suns' tactics were only born between lightning and flashing from Nash to Stoudemire's reception. If Anjie still took the position according to the previous arrangement, then there would definitely be no time to make up for the defense zone.

But after listening to Van Gundy's opinion, Anjie was outside the penalty area line at this time! With such a close distance from the penalty area, even Yao Ming, who was moving slowly, could make up for it.

Stoudemire received the ball, but turned around and found that Anjie was waiting in the three-second zone!

"Why is it so fast?" Stoudemire hesitated. Should he continue to attack the box or give up the offense and pass the ball?

Yao Ming was the No. 1 pick by Stoudemire back then, but in his rookie season, Stoudemire won the Best Rookie Award in the competition with Yao Ming with his excellent performance. He has never been afraid of the Chinese, and he is not afraid of even Yao Ming. What's more, now this number 6 is still a rookie who cannot be compared with Yao Ming.

Stoudemier held the ball directly at Anjie with both hands and jumped violently. He wanted to dunk on Anjie's head!

Indeed, An Jie and Yao Ming are incomparable now, but he is a completely different player from Yao Ming. Stoudemire, don't think of all Chinese people as a model.

An Jie's footsteps moved very quickly, so he had already stood in the three-second zone. However, in order to ensure that the referee would not miss the judgment, An Jie decided to add a little bit of material to it.

Stoudemire flew to the highest point, but Anjie found that he had not taken off to block it for a long time. Why, this rookie completely gave up resisting!?

Studmeier used a lot of force, so he knocked Anger down with great force. However, Studmeier did not expect that Anger was so strong! This physical contact made him feel very uncomfortable, so he naturally dunked the basketball away.

While the basketball dunked, the referee also blew the whistle in his hand. Although Stoudemire was unwilling to accept it, at least he had two free throws.

Unexpectedly, when Stoudemier landed, he saw Anjie lying on the floor in pain, and the reporters around him took pictures of these scenes frantically. The referee's gesture also made Stoudemier think he was dazzled, and the referee actually judged an offensive foul!

"An is very smart in defense this time!" Mike Bryn, the old fried dough stick, naturally saw the story, but he didn't say it out loud.

The large screen on the scene immediately gave a replay. Due to the coherent dunk movement and the instinct to protect themselves from harm, most players will slightly lift their knees when dunking, and Stoudemire is no exception.

On the screen, when Angel was touched by Stoudemire's knee, he suddenly leaned back exaggeratedly, and this curtain made everyone gasp. The power of this attack must be quite large! However, Stoudemire knew that his knee was definitely not so solid to hit him!

"He is obviously a fake fall!" Stodmeier rushed to the referee with a step. Nash knew his teammate's temper. He quickly stood between the referee and the little bully, and tried hard to push Stodmeier out.

"Don't pretend!" Afterwards, Stoudemire exuded his anger on Anjie who was still lying on the ground.

Angel ignored it, but waited for Durant and Westbrook to pull him up. Angel stood up and bent over and took a few breaths, as if he had not recovered from the violent collision.

"Shameless!" Stodmeier clenched his fists. He really wanted to go up and beat the tall and thin center forward Yidun. The little bully didn't know that his calmness was slowly losing.

Although Anjie won the ball for the team with his superb acting skills again, under Robin Lopez's close defense, Anjie could no longer organize a decent offense. In two consecutive rounds, the Thunder returned to the rhythm of attacking that could only rely on strong play. The Thunder did not score again in these two rounds.

Fortunately, the Suns' offense was also trapped in a quagmire due to the increase in the Thunder's defensive intensity, so the Thunder did not lose the lead.

When the Thunder went toward the Suns' hinterland again, Jeff Van Gundy made a forward push gesture to Anjie on the sidelines. Anjie was suddenly overjoyed. Although he could organize the attack, it was not Anjie's favorite style of play. Now under Van Gundy's command, he was completely liberated!

"Anjie's organization seems to have problems. How should the Thunder deal with the offense now? Well? Anjie has fallen to the low post!"

The opponent actually started to defend against Anjie's organization, so Van Gundy asked Anjie to start attacking at a low post, completely disrupting the opponent's deployment! The low post singles are Anjie's favorite and most handy offensive method.

When Durant saw Anger's position change, he immediately understood his intention. He was originally taller than Barnes, so Durant's basketball that was hanging towards the penalty area was not intercepted by anyone.

"Is it finally started?" Robin Lopez became focused, and he decided not to let Anjie go any moves!

An Jie did not hit him back this time, but turned around to the penalty area.

"Stop looking down on people! Do you want to break through so easily?" Robin moved immediately, but he didn't notice that Anjie's axle foot did not move!

Seeing Robin being fooled, Anjie immediately turned to the bottom line again. It was a bit difficult to break through, but there was more than enough room for shooting.

An Jie jumped and shot, but Robin, who was slowing down a few beats, could not effectively interfere. An Jie's basketball shot was hollow and failed again.

Van Gundy waved his fists vigorously off the court. Anjie was really very practical in tactical arrangement!

Angel is threatened by high and low positions, and coupled with Durant and Westbrook's strong offensive talents, Van Gundy feels that he doesn't have to worry too much about the offense.

Later, Terry Porter didn't know whether to defend Anger's high-level ball or low-level singles. Even the head coach had no solution, so the defense of the entire Suns became a mess.

The battle was exactly what Durant and Westbrook liked. The Suns were completely fooled by the volatile Thunder in the second quarter, and the Suns lost their due rhythm on the offensive end due to their wrong tactical arrangements. Before they knew it, they were fourteen points behind the Thunder!

The Thunder led the Suns by fourteen points, and this was just a half-time game. Jeff Van Gundy, he really turned decay into magic! 54 to 4o, the Thunder ended the first half with the advantage for the first time.

"Oh my God, do you believe this is something a commentator did?" At the end of the half, Mike Bryn's humorous praise also made the audience laugh.

Just as Phoenix fans were hoping that their team would make a comeback in the second half, the Thunder gave them the best!

In the Suns' offensive cooperation, Stoudemier got another chance to attack the frame. However, this time Anjie did not make a fake fall, but instead slapped the basketball in Stoudemier's hand out. This fan seemed to have directly blown away the Suns' counterattack.

It is a fact that the Suns did not perform abnormally in the third quarter, but the Thunder still slowly implemented Van Gundy's arrangement. In this single quarter, the Suns scored two more points than the Thunder, but they still had to face the 12-point difference!

This time, Oklahoma City fans did not leave the game early. They have never been so satisfied since the Thunder team was established.
Chapter completed!
