Under Donovan's new ideas, Kings immediately became the victim.
On November 7, Thunder challenged Kings in an away game.
Donovan adjusted Starting Lineup and put Gordon on it, and the effect was immediate.
He has excellent Backdoor Cut sense of smell in Offensive End, coupled with three and a half excellent organizers (Chen: "Are you polite?"), he eats cake until he is soft-mouthed.
On the defensive end, he also has excellent defense switching and assisting abilities.
For a time, Starting Lineup of Thunder taught Kings a hard lesson.
After finally waiting for Transition Period, I found that tmd still couldn't do it!
Even though potential newcomer Daron Fox showed amazing potential from the start, scoring consecutive breakthroughs and scores, it still didn't help. Thunder's firepower on the bench was so fierce that it started raining Three-Pointer in the second quarter.
The rookie who first joined League had the burning fighting spirit in his heart poured all over him.
It's another classic three-quarter check-in and training in the final quarter.
Thunder is becoming more and more terrifying.
After finishing the game with Kings, everyone from Thunder rushed to Denver without stopping.
It is hoped to arrive at the plateau early so that the players can adapt to the environment earlier and reduce the degree of altitude sickness.
However, in fact, just one day of adaptation time does not have much effect.
Chen Xi felt obvious discomfort from the moment he landed, including headache, chest tightness and insomnia.
The reaction to logging in to Denver this time seems to be much greater than last time.
This directly led to the next night, Chen Xi was in low spirits and sleepwalked the entire time.
In desperation, Donovan had no choice but to win Chen Xi, and McDermott replaced him to continue the game.
"Shocked! There is a conflict within Thunder Team! Chen Xi was pinned down on the bench by Donovan!"
"Coach, I gave you the calendar."
Tonight, the goddess of victory seemed to finally be standing on the opposite side. Westbrook Little Sabonis followed Chen Xi with a series of errors. Except for Butler's 27 points, no one in the team could score in double figures.
In the end, he unfortunately lost to Nuggets 96-105, suffering his first defeat of the season and ending his seven-game winning streak.
Western Conference's ranking was immediately pushed down by the next door Rockets.
What's interesting is that there were two triple-doubles in this game at once.
They are Westbrook's 17 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and Teacher Jokic's 15 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
The new and old triple-double kings of the future competed on the same stage tonight and gave a pretty gorgeous performance together.
It's amazing, when did it become so easy to get a triple-double?
After bidding farewell to Denver, the special plane flew back to Oklahoma overnight. Next, it was Back-to-Back's game. Thunder had to go to the home court to wait for Los Angeles Clippers's visit.
Fortunately, there are three consecutive home games ahead, which can be considered a small relaxation.
Compared with away games, home games are much more comfortable in terms of arena, Fans, accommodation, training, etc.
For professional players, being able to play at home continuously is definitely a more comfortable experience.
November 19th, Back-to-Back vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Although he was Back-to-Back, Chen Xi basically didn't play much in the last game. After returning to Oklahoma City, he recovered quickly. By night, he was already alive and kicking.
And Clippers is undoubtedly a loser this summer.
After they sent away Chris Paul, Little Jordan and other Interior immediately revealed their strength. Whether it was Little Rivers or Lou Will, their organizational capabilities were completely different from Paul, which suddenly caused the team's Interior offensive level to drop several notches.
Only Griffin can rely on his outstanding athletic talent to maintain his lower score limit.
However, relying solely on Griffin, and today's League, obviously cannot go far.
Even though the Lou Will acquired through the trade performed fairly well in terms of scoring, it was far from the standard to stop the bleeding.
Thunder, who restored the Starting Lineup lineup, decided the outcome of the game in two quarters. Clippers was unable to resist at all. They couldn't even win a point against Starting Lineup's Transition Period on the Thunder bench.
At the end of the game, Thunder easily defeated Clippers 110-94, rejecting the losing streak.
Ended the season with a record of one win and one loss for the first time Back-to-Back.
After easily winning Mavericks again on the 12th, Thunder welcomed an old friend.
A visit from Chicago Bulls.
After sending away Butler, Wade, and Rondo one after another, Bulls started his own Rebuilding journey.
Today's Starting Lineup lineup has become Oladipo, Chris·Dunn, Markkanen, Lopez Jr., and Quincy Poundset.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.
Little Sabonis beat Xiao Luo, and Thunder took the lead to win the ball.
Westbrook holds the ball High Wing Pick-and-Roll, Chen Xi Pop Out catches the ball and looks for Butler, bypasses the screen and directly pulls out the hand.
Three-Pointer hit.
Looking back, Bulls attacks. Odie Dribble to Frontcourt, facing the defense of Chen Xi.
After seeing Chen Xi's center of gravity sinking a little, Odie didn't hesitate and pulled it up and hit Three-Point Shot.
Also hit!
In the second year of Bulls's career, Oladipo ushered in a big explosion of his data.
Regardless of the number of shots, shooting percentage, points, assists, Rebound, all have been affected to a certain extent and are showing an upward trend.
He has proven with facts that he is fully qualified to handle production and maintain efficiency.
As long as they are given enough status and ball rights, they can be rewarded with corresponding production capacity.
Oladipo, already has the level of All-Star.
Thunder attacks again, Westbrook holds the ball, Isolation Dunn, broke through quickly, then used Physical Confrontation to push away Dunn, then rushed away from the frame, straight up under the basket, Contact in the air was small Lopez, and Layup scored with the lever.
Oladipo Baseline catches the ball and quickly pushes back to counterattack.
After reaching Frontcourt, break through without slowing down. After reaching Mid-range with Chen Xi, make an emergency stop at Spin Fadeaway Jumper.
Two more points.
Chen Xi immediately became unhappy, md! Are you going to catch me and beat me?
After coming to Frontcourt again, he took the initiative to ask for the ball from Westbrook, then faced Odie, and after a continuous crotch shake, Sideways Movement followed by Drop Step, and then he attacked Frontcourt. Pulling Odie's defensive focus, he followed up with Step-back, then used Bait Buddha to deceive Odie who was already out of position, and then quickly dropped the ball to break through to the left, successfully throwing him away.
Finally, Mid-range made a solid hit with an unguarded jump shot.
During the retreat, Odie walked back to catch the ball, and patted Chen Xi's butt.
The back-and-forth duels between the two have been common in the summer, but their good relationship in private will not affect their desire to win or lose on the court at all.
Trying your best is a sign of respect for your opponent.
Odie attacked again, but chose Isolation Chen Xi.
Continuous Front Crossover tried to mislead Chen Xi's judgment, but Chen Xi did not go as he wished and directly stepped forward to defend. After triggering the Death Coil badge, Odie obviously felt uncomfortable.
Chen Xi's continuous interference caused Odie's Dribble movements to begin to deform slightly in Contact.
No longer hesitating, Hesitation Dribble breaks through directly, and kills Interior with Chen Xi's chest.
Among the current Contact, Odie still dominates.
