The three giants of Thunder reunited, performed stably, and led the team to defeat Jazz.
The three people's tacit cooperation and stable performance can be regarded as temporarily blocking the mouths of Little Blackie.
After all, with the victory of Thunder last year, and the increasing accumulation of honors of Westbrook and Chen Xi, they have gradually become able to threaten the status of some superstars.
Naturally, the number of anti-fans gradually increased.
After all, one of the defining characteristics of moving from an ordinary star to a superstar is to see if anyone can hack you...
Westbrook has already won mvp, fmvp, coupled with his explosive performance averaging a triple-double per game for two consecutive years, and the accumulation of honors such as Scoring Champion, assist king, Steal King, etc., he has almost reached the Grand Slam.
This allowed him to gain a lot of fans while crazy in the past two years, and also gained a lot of negative fans.
After all, when it comes to historical rankings, if someone rises to the top, then someone will naturally fall down.
Those people's Fans will naturally not be comfortable.
Including Chen Xi, also lost a lot of popularity due to the praise of a large number of fans.
As the saying goes, one pink top and ten black ones are nothing more than that.
Fortunately, Chen has not accumulated many honors yet. The best achievement is just a All-Star substitute and a Third All-NBA Team.
Still not threatening some people~~
Not just Westbrook, Chen Xi.
This is how most of the stars and anti-fans came to be.
Harden, Durant, Paul and so on.
When James joined Heat, among the new wave of black fans, there were also a large number of Kobe Fans.
After all, it is undeniable that Heat in those years was really too strong.
If he really built a dynasty for him, what should he do with the volute!!!
Later, the strong rise of Curry turned a large number of Zhanmi into Kuhei.
These degenerate fans protect the status of their idols by hurting and belittling other stars.
It's funny in itself.
After all, most Fans are relatively sensible.
They have their own eyes and can see everyone's achievements, levels, and honors.
Just like people who hate James will rarely say that his achievements cannot enter history Top Ten.
No matter how much people hate Kobe, they cannot deny that he is the second shooting guard in history. (Jordan, Kobe, Wade, Harden, AI, West, glider, iceman, Ray·Allen, Reggie·Miller, I personally think so, if you have any objection, I am wrong.)
The public opinion on the Internet has become more and more intense, and it has finally been affected by Basketball's fandom.
Too many Fanss are too extreme. They can't even see a bad word about their idols. If they see it, they will confront you.
Then he loses the popularity of the star and a large influx of cheats.
In the end, most of the high-level stars were dismissed one after another.
On December 23, Thunder returned to the home court again, and Back-to-Back faced off against Timberwolves.
On the day before Christmas, Thunder Team returned to the home court with great momentum.
At the entrance ceremony before the start of the game, Westbrook once again ignited the atmosphere of the entire stadium with his roar.
His passion and energy can always ignite this place. (This shit can also turn into a black spot. I'm really convinced. I can only say that skewers make great contributions)
The game officially started shortly after.
Thunder attacks first.
Westbrook held the ball and advanced to Frontcourt. Facing Tyus Jones' defense, he waited for a while.
After Brow lifted up and set up the screen, Westbrook directly stepped on the accelerator and broke through from the right side along the screen, rushing into Interior in a few steps.
Face Towns's defense and jump directly.
Beng!!!!
The first ball came up and he completed the dunk.
Towns? He avoided it in advance.
There was no way, it was too fast, it was already too late when he turned around Rim Protection...
After Westbrook landed, he roared at the Fanss next to the basket.
As if to declare that the king of Thunder is back again!
The Fanss at home were naturally not stingy with their cheers and immediately gave their stars the warmest response.
Then he sat down calmly.
Thunder's unwritten rules at home.
Fans will not sit down until the home team scores a goal and gets the first point.
But today, I sat down very early~~
Timberwolves counterattack.
Jones dribbles the ball to Frontcourt.
Facing Westbrook's defense, there was no offense.
At the Top of the Key position, the ball is given to Wiggins not far away.
Wiggins holds the ball Isolation from outside, facing the defense of Chen Xi.
After a simple Crossover Dribble, Push Dribble Change of Direction, start the breakthrough.
The action is simple, but preventing it is not simple at all.
With its super explosive power, Wiggins squeezed Chen Xi behind him in just Three steps.
After entering Interior, Wiggins watched Brow approach Help defense and chose to play the ball quickly.
On the other side, Covington runs to the Three-Pointer line, catches the ball and immediately Three-Point Shot.
The vote was very decisive, but unfortunately, Basketball popped out of the box.
This season, after Covington was traded from Philadelphia 76ers to Timberwolves, his data has actually improved.
Playing next to Towns and Wiggins, the shooting environment is quite comfortable.
It's just that he failed to grasp this ball.
Thunder over here, McGee protects Rebound and passes it to Westbrook.
Westbrook quickly advanced to counterattack, running all the way to Frontcourt, then made a big change of direction, passed the blocking Jones, and then rushed into Interior, but Transition Defense Speed on Timberwolves's side was unexpectedly good.
Faced with Wiggins, Help defense, Westbrook jumped over and shot the ball.
A wide range of Transfer ball, Basketball was sent to the other side at a 45-degree angle.
Chen Xi followed up and caught the ball here. Three-Point Shot was in the open position and hit the ball steadily.
The opening attack went very smoothly, and Chen Xi and Westbrook cooperated as well as ever.
But Timberwolves seemed a little unable to cope.
On the offensive again, Jones launched Pick-and-Roll on the outside and cooperated with Towns.
Pass back after breakthrough.
Towns directly Three-Point Shot after receiving the ball from the outside.
McGee did not come to Hedge at the first time, which gave him a big chance.
Dang!!!
But Basketball still didn't enter.
The opportunity came out, but it was a pity that it only stayed at the opportunity and could not be converted into points.
Westbrook took off Pop Out's long Rebound, turned around and pushed forward quickly again.
The forward movement of the sprint startled Timberwolves, who quickly rushed back to defend.
This time Westbrook did not seize a good enough opportunity and stopped outside the Three-Pointer line, waiting for Teammates to land.
Dribbling the ball on the spot, and then waiting for Brow to get stuck in the low post, he quickly sent the ball to Interior.
Anthony·Davis Post-up Gibson.
After dropping the ball, he leaned in, Contact quickly turned around, and Face-Up made a small Floater shot.
Basketball pops up.
The first goal of the game failed to end.
This is the normal state of the game and completely acceptable.
Turning around, the whole team retreated quickly.
