He rushed to Free-Throw Line with Chen Xi and then connected with Step-back, then collected the ball and made Shot Fake, but Chen Xi did not stumble and continued to move forward and defend closely.
Odie saw two consecutive Shot Fake Shot, and then followed by a true one.
Jumping backwards, Basketball drew an arc in the air.
It falls on Rebound and bounces into the frame.
Two more points!
"Grass!"
Chen Xi watched Basketball fall into the net, and couldn't hold it back anymore. He swore and made a face at Odie.
"This is definitely a lucky shot! You will definitely not make the next shot!"
"Forget it, Chen, you can't guard against me. Isn't one summer enough for you to realize this fact?"
"Don't you fart here. Who is it that I defeated by 21 points three times in a row and lost a coffee machine to me?"
"That was an accident. Didn't I win it back the next day?"
The two of them bickered while running towards Frontcourt.
Like children, they refuse to admit defeat to each other.
But while we are bickering here, we don't care about you over there.
Westbrook speeds up immediately after Midcourt Line, and when you step on the accelerator, it's a rampage.
He threw away Dunn in two steps, rushed to Free-Throw Line, and made an emergency stop jumper.
Hit again.
9 to 7
After all, this is Regular season, a game that has an impact on the record, not a Chen Xi Odie Contact game between the two of them.
With this mid-range shot.
Thunder began to return to his own rhythm.
Bulls's offense ended after Odie scored a sudden point to Markkanen and missed Three-Pointer.
Thunder counterattacked quickly.
Westbrook took off Rebound, rushed towards Frontcourt, and threw the ball far away as soon as his left foot stepped into the logo area.
Aaron·Gordon, caught the ball at Three-Pointer and played Three steps.
After two big steps, he immediately vacated the position within one step of Free-Throw Line.
He stretched his body in the air and made a super long gliding dunk.
The rhythm of the game gradually began to favor Thunder.
After all, Odie is not a point guard who is very good at organizing, but is more of a combo guard.
While the scoring ability is better, the organizational level actually needs to be improved.
Bulls was in a hurry to chase points and followed Thunder unknowingly.
The two sides fought faster and faster, and the number of Possession increased.
Thunder is stronger both offensively and defensively, and is more adaptable to this rhythm.
So the score got bigger and bigger.
Bulls The more you try to chase points, the more you lose.
Until Head Coach McMillan shouted out Timeout.
Thunder has led 28 to 19 by 9 points.
"Victor, calm down, control your rhythm, don't let them lead you away."
Beside the bench, McMillan taught Oladipo earnestly.
"Keep your own rhythm and play every Possession. This is the first quarter. Don't worry so much about the score. We have to play Basketball that belongs to Chicago."
McMillan still likes this new core of the team that is making rapid progress. He has outstanding talent, works very hard, and is making rapid progress.
As soon as he was established as the core, he immediately showed his superstar potential.
As long as you grow step by step, the guarantee is All-Star Starting Lineup, McMillan.
Therefore, such a young star needs more patient coaching.
Although he is growing up very quickly, Odie is still a young man and he still has a lot to learn.
This year's Bulls does not have the pressure of a record. For McMillan, his mission is to train Odie well, let him grow smoothly, and then raise a few brushes to produce some good data.
So that next summer, the team can better deceive a few bad guys to take over, and then replace it with some outstanding puzzle pieces to attack Playoffs.
Back to the game.
After Timeout finished, Oladipo also listened to the coach's words and began to take the initiative to slow down and grind out the position with Thunder.
The effect was okay, Thunder didn't mention it again.
But it's not because of Bulls's active speed reduction, but because of what happened to Westbrook, Gordon, and Butler.
After entering Transition Period and replacing Harris, McDermott and others, the space of Thunder has become unprecedentedly wide. In this case, slow running and landing is also a good choice.
From beginning to end, the rhythm of the game was firmly in the hands of Thunder.
Until the end of the game, Bulls failed to overtake again.
Thunder 107 wins over 100.
Oladipo scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists by himself, and scored again.
In this year's Regular season, he will have to get used to the empty-cut ending sooner or later. After all, Bulls's current strength is really not impressive enough.
Thunder Here, the Trident is as stable as ever.
Westbrook 24+9+7, Butler 17+7+6.
Chen Xi made 9 of 16 shots, Three-Pointer made 6 of 8, and Free Throw made 4 of 5, scoring 28 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
The improvement in the overall level of the team has caused a decline in the playing time and number of shots taken by several players.
This year is destined not to be a year of data explosion.
In the top multi-core League team, there may be an assist king, Rebound King, but there is rarely a Scoring Champion.
Unless there is a core that has been cba-ed (manual dog head)
Interestingly, after the game, Chen Xi and Odie were approached by reporters while reminiscing on the sidelines.
"Chris, we saw you and Victor bickering on the field during this game, but as far as I know your relationship seems to be pretty good?"
"Oh, this is normal. We often do this. This idiot always can't recognize who Leader is. I have to teach him."
"Bullshit! Don't listen to this guy's nonsense. He just can't afford to lose. I got angry and started talking Trash Talk."
"Oops Oladipo, you are really terrible, you can actually say such things, I am disappointed in you!"
Chen Xi looked like an old father who was extremely disappointed with his children, sparing no effort to disgust Oladipo.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the reporter quickly changed the subject.
"Victor, has your relationship always been so good?"
"Although I hate to admit it, this kid is indeed one of the few close friends of mine. During the Thunder period, we helped and supported each other all the way to now. Our feelings will not change with the change of the team or the passage of time."
Faced with the suddenly serious Odie, let alone reporters.
Chen Xi looked surprised. He didn't even expect that he had such a heavy weight in Odie's heart.
"When I was traded from Orlando Magic to Thunder, I once had doubts about myself. Fortunately, there was this shameless person who dragged me to do meaningless activities all day long, which actually helped me get out of the trough in my heart."
Chen Xi used to often call Odie out without warning on days off. Then he would go out without knowing what to do. In the end, he would always have a hasty meal and then go back to the arena.
In a sense, Chen can even be called the supervisor who urges Odie to practice more.
"Wow, touching brotherhood, Chris, what do you think of this?"
"Victor..." Chen Xi looked at Oladipo lovingly, his eyes almost turned to water, and he was embarrassed to look at Odie, but the next sentence almost made him fight Chen Xi.
