Chapter 892

Angelo and Westbrook embraced in the middle of the court, then walked side by side to James and others. As the owner of the stadium, it's natural to be hospitable.

The two men who hold the whip of Auberger and Donovan also greet each other. These two people really mean to be sympathetic to each other.

In fact, the roles played by these two people are really similar. When Donovan took over the thunder, the thunder experienced several seasons of struggle, always unable to do something in the playoffs. As a result, Donovan, who has achieved great success in NCAA, was invited to Oklahoma by Presti to replace Brooks, who has never been able to lead the team and become the new manager of thunder.

It's not easy for a head coach with no professional league record to lead thunder to break through the first round of the playoffs or even go further. But Donovan did it! Thunder easily killed the Mavericks, and then in the semi-final after the first defeat, beat the 67 win spurs, and 73 win warriors to join the Western Conference finals. What's more surprising is that the thunder under Donovan was not optimistic, leading the warriors 3-1 and making the defending champion look confused.

Although the thunder did not make it to the Finals again, Donovan has already won in Oklahoma. He took the fierce decision of typical college basketball to let thunder bayonet take the lead, but the scheduling in the long series finally revealed his weakness. From the beginning, he reduced the rotation to no one. He almost watched Cole put the water on the bench to charge the electricity, but there was nothing he could do.

Later, Durant left Oklahoma gladly and decisively. Just when everyone thinks that thunder has never recovered, a series of operations of Prentice give Donovan the opportunity to continue to show his talent.

The second season, that is, the first season when enrol joined the thunder, although the thunder fell at the foot of the Spurs, no one thought they were a failure.

Later, it was thunder's two consecutive titles.

It took Donovan four years to fulfill thunder's expectations of him. Even so, he has overfulfilled. Everyone hopes Donovan can lead this thunder to rise again, but in fact, no one will win the championship on Donovan's body. At least, I won't expect this day to be so big.

That's what the Lakers want Vogel to do in Los Angeles. Vogel got good reviews in Indiana before joining the Lakers. He led Paul George and the big three heat for several years. Although not over the mountain, but the Pacers are rare to be able to mix with the heat.

Both coaches have a successful past. The depth of the two teams' lineups is outstanding, but they are still far from the real rise. Even, neither the Lakers nor the thunder need a strong head coach, but someone who can twist the strength that the team already has into a rope, someone who can unite everyone to fight for a certain goal.

Donovan has done a good job at this point. He is very steady in dealing with the relationship between the big stars, especially when Paul George joined the thunder and Angelo became more and more powerful, the atmosphere of the thunder's dressing room has always been very harmonious.

So far, Vogel has done well. Of course, it has a close relationship with the core of the team, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but I have to admit that the atmosphere of the changing room of the Lakers really makes many teams envious.

At the press conference after the game, Vogel and Donovan also praised each other's players. Although the words are a little pompous, they are still telling the truth on the whole.

However, neither of these guys seems so harmless. While praising each other, they put some cruel words without leaving any trace.

I believe that the next encounter between the Lakers and the thunder will be more wonderful than this one.

After the thunder won the first place in the West for the time being. However, this is just one of the many challenges the thunder have faced this season. If the thunder want to defend the title again and achieve the great cause of three consecutive titles, there will be a lot of games like tonight's game with the Lakers.

After a day's rest in Oklahoma and others, they set foot on the journey to Minnesota.

It's not a match of equal strength. Neither the process nor the result surprised everyone. Even Wiggins was not surprised by his explosive performance.

Strange to say, I don't know when to start. As soon as Wiggins meets the thunder, all kinds of mugs, medlar and health preserving are thrown out of the air.

In the first round, carventon passed the ball to Wiggins after killing him. This guy directly faced Robertson's interference and made a three-point strike.

Throughout the game, Wiggins scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Not only is Timberwolves the best player, but also the player with the highest score.

Unfortunately, no matter how well a person plays, it is difficult to win the game. Other Timberwolves players have not been able to give Wiggins too much help, whether it is 16 points of Downes, 14 points of Calver can only slightly help Wiggins to reduce some pressure. However, natz Reid on the bench played very well, scoring the second highest 21 points in a single game. But unfortunately, most of his time is in the last quarter, which is rubbish time.Neither enrol nor Westbrook played in the fourth quarter. The first three quarters were too radical! By the end of the third quarter, thunder had a 30 point lead over Timberwolves. There's really no need to play again.

After Minnesota's 125-104 victory, the thunder will return to Oklahoma without a stop. The following is a full week of home games, the first game is the second Eastern raptors.

Before that, thunder had played with each other. With a more stable lineup and more tacit cooperation, thunder laugh to the end. However, in this season, the performance of raptors has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. After losing Leonard and Denny green, the two champions, the Raptors did not recover. Instead, under the leadership of Lori and ciakam, they advanced all the way to second place in the East. This makes the Celtic and 76 people behind them feel very ashamed. The king of the northern border has a deep foundation.

This game, thunder lost. The result was a bit surprising, but it wasn't an explosion.

At the end of the game, the score of both sides was fixed at 132-125. The visiting Raptors are in front and the home team is thunderous.

Interestingly enough, the thunder have rarely lost at Chesapeake energy arena in the past two seasons. They have achieved 60 + in two consecutive seasons, and most of the games they lost were away games. But in the three months since the start of the season, the thunder lost most of their games at home.

From the players' final data, the thunder of raptors presents two different forms of competition.

On the thunder side, Angelo, Westbrook and Alexander on the bench played well, contributing 36 points, 21 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists and 22 points respectively. But in addition to these three players, the thunder only Adams contributed double scores, but also only 13 points. The rest of the players, especially Gallinari in the starting line-up, performed badly.

In fact, Gallinari played very well in Oklahoma. As the third character of thunder and the second choice of offensive end, he can contribute 18 points per game. For a team with 35 + and 20 + players per game, Gallinari has done what the thunder need him to do.

However, compared with the Los Angeles Clippers, Gallinari's performance is really a little worse. But this is a natural thing, thunder is not a clipper, there is no lack of people who can score.

This game, Gallinari's play is really some people can't bear to look directly at. 13 shots, second only to enrol, but he only scored two of them, contributing eight points, and three of them were obtained through free throws.

Of course, Gallinari is not to blame for losing the game. In the previous game, Anluo these players play such a play, basically won. The biggest reason why they lost the game was that the Raptors played so well.

The Raptors are a better team than the thunder, which has four men scoring in double. Seven of them scored in double, with all the first five scoring at least 15 points. Shaikam has 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, anulobi has 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Lori has 17 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, Ibaka has 15 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist, and Gasol has 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

It can be said that the Raptor's first five tigers successfully compared the five people on the thunder side. Not only that, the fighting power on the bench is not comparable to thunder. There's no reason for the Raptors to score 23 points, plus Terrence to lose 16 points.

Lost to raptors, thunder up and down is both unconvinced and helpless. Convinced is that the other side that everyone can stand up to contribute to the full name of all soldiers play, let thunder in the defensive end seems powerless. Most of the time, it's the place where it's stopped and it's coming out again. No matter what kind of defense, we can't limit five people on the court at the same time.

Unconvinced is that thunder is not without a chance to win the game. In the second half of the third quarter, Anluo and Alexander jointly played an 11-0 attack wave, tied the score and successfully overtook. However, in the fourth quarter, Powell's two unreasonable three-point goals made Anluo's efforts come to nothing.

However, the tone of the heart, by thunder in the next opponent Miami Heat body vent out.

In the middle of the season, the heat's game is no longer as unimportant as it was at the beginning. Butler's joining, has brought the toughest momentum to this reviving team. Of course, the heat's body is full of blood. From this point of view, Butler, who has always been known as a "tough guy", chose to come to Miami this summer, which is a perfect match.

Now the heat, has secured the third position in the East. Moreover, they are likely to surpass the Raptors and become the team next to the bucks. The bucks are really a little bit too strong this season. Even the thunder that has suppressed them for two years in a row is not as good as their record.

But it was such a heat, a team famous for its tough defense and desperate momentum, that won't win in Oklahoma.Thunder players feel like the Toronto people in the last game, many times they can ignore the defense of the other side and hit the ball directly. Such an opponent, the heat is also powerless.

Angelo continued the excellent performance of the last game, he even better than the last one. Throughout the game, the heat, whether it's starting Nathan or substitute Hiro, can't give him too much interference. In particular, with the 13th show of Hiro, Anluo is a good lesson to each other. Also let the other side feel for a while, 13 point guard should have the strength.

Gallinari, who had a bad performance in the last game, was finally normal. Although he only got 17 points, but he hit five three-point shots, completely liberated the thunder's interior. At the same time, also let with three-point line nearby Anluo receives the defensive pressure reduced many.

But Butler is really tough. Originally, thunder in the second half of the third quarter has opened the difference to 25 points. For the vast majority of games, this is a relatively safe point difference. But under the leadership of Butler, the heat made a strong counterattack in the fourth quarter, and the difference was close to 3 points. At this time, Donovan quickly let his main players come back on the stage, it is to stabilize the situation.

Butler only took five minutes off for the whole game. This kind of playing time in the NBA ten years ago may not be a very special thing, but in the NBA now, it's really a great thing. You know, in the series of thunder's second championship and raptors' seven games, Anluo only averaged 37 minutes per game, which is the longest of the two players.

After the game, Westbrook found Butler for the first time. As one of the few tough guys in the league, Westbrook admires this guy very much.

Anluo was interviewed by reporters at the scene. However, he didn't get excited and dealt with it in a few words. For him, every game after 2020 is relatively difficult. Including the last loss to raptors and this one to beat the heat, he has this feeling.

However, as a professional athlete, Anluo believes that he can adjust his form well. After all, this season is months away!
