Durant and Westbrook sat in the roster with basketball in their arms, while the three insiders stood behind with their arms around their chests. On the cover of the 1st issue before the start of the new season, the Thunder became the team that Sports Illustrated decided to focus on.

"The record of 47 wins last season put them just a step away from the playoffs. This year, Presti strengthened the Thunder's weak inside line, and they will have more mature Durant and Westbrook, which seems to have opened the door to them in the playoffs." Sports Illustrated has specially made an yi column for the Thunder to introduce their team structure and strengths and weaknesses.

"Although there is a great chance of entering the playoffs, the young people of the Thunder seem to be able to stop there. It is almost impossible for the Thunder to squeeze into the second round or better. No one in the Thunder's third young master has playoff experience, and the competition in the West is as huge as ever. Therefore, Thunder fans should not have too much hope for the third young master's playoff journey."

Sports Illustrated's analysis is very pertinent, neither belittles the Thunder's strength this season nor over-praising it. But Jeff Van Gundy is still very dissatisfied after seeing this column. It is not impossible for the Thunder to do it after breaking through the first round.

On yio.com, the confident Van Gundy and his Thunder played their pre-season warm-up match under the attention of everyone.

The Golden State Warriors led by coach Nelson will test the strength of the Thunder in the next new season.

Van Gundy still mainly trains as a substitute in the preseason, so Anger only played yi for 8 minutes in this game, and his playing time with Morris is always staggered, because Van Gundy still continued to let Morris play center and Ibaka play power forward.

Therefore, when Anjie came off the court, it was when Morris came on. The two had no chance to partner in the inside in the whole game.

The two rookies Ibaka and Morris are the two who have the most playing time in the Thunder, but the Warriors's Nanhua lottery has covered up their excellent performances by themselves.

Steve Curry, this guy, Morris, is very familiar with. In the ncaa 32 battle, the opponent of the Tornado team, Davidson Academy, was led by Curry.

nnetBa is short, so Curry was not favored by many people in college. They believe that when nBa is facing a further three-point line, Curry, a thin guy who can only shoot three-pointers, will be at a loss.

When the Warriors decided to use the third pick to choose Curry, many fans were disappointed. In the third pick, they could choose Tyrek Evans, Hassim Tabitt, and "Spanish Golden Boy" Rickie Rubio, but the Warriors brought this small guard who only knows how to shoot to Oakland.

However, for the first time, Curry's performance made everyone shut up.

He made 5 of 6 three-pointers and assisted Ellis many times to get an open shot. Ibaka and Morris played the Warriors in the interior, while Stephen Curry helped the team control the situation from the outside.

In the end, Ibaka and Morris failed to lead the Thunder to win, 99 to 87, and the highly anticipated Thunder lost to the Warriors who had a poor record last season in the first game of the preseason.

The Thunder players and Van Gundy didn't care about the defeat in this game. After all, most of the game were played in the second or even third teams, and the Thunder did not show their true skills at all.

However, how could those critics who were idle and had no topics to talk about give up this opportunity? After the game, they criticized the Thunder for being worthless. Some articles even analyzed the reasons for the Thunder’s defeat in detail, and looked at it with great sensation.

"Shit." Van Gundy just picked up the newspaper and looked at it, then threw it into the trash can. Van Gundy knew best about the Thunder's condition and prospects.

However, they lost again on the second preseason game of the Thunder on Yio.

The Third Young Master of Thunder only played fifteen minutes in this game. Seeing that the three of them were in good condition, Van Gundy did not continue to use them.

Unexpectedly, the plans of the Hawks and the Thunder were completely opposite. The Hawks played for a long time in this game, and the main players were the training purpose of the Hawks playing this game.

If the Thunder team can still win, it would be a bit dreamy if they use their own substitute to play against others' strongest lineups.

82 to yio3, the Thunder lost a big score. Although An Jie didn't play for a long time, he also scored ten points.

Using the low-post skills learned from Olajuwon, Angel made five shots in front of Al Horford without missing out.

Morris and Ibaka are still at the core, but the young two seem to have not adapted to nBa's fast pace.

In the preseason two consecutive losses, Van Gundy's training purpose has been achieved. Morris and Ibaka have obtained a lot of playing time, so as not to spend time to adapt to the two new players after the regular season starts.

Originally, the reason why these two people were attracted by Presti and Van Gundy was their immediate combat power. If they could not play the role on the field, how could they use the advantage that a real-time combat power character should have?

Although the training purpose is achieved, if the team continues to lose, the morale of the player will inevitably fluctuate. Van Gundy has been a coach for 4 years and naturally understands this.

So in the third warm-up match of the Thunder, Van Gundy started the normal rotation for the first time. It is worth mentioning that the person who is in the power forward position and partnered with Anjie in the inside is still Sergi Ibaka.

Morris performed very well in the preseason, but unfortunately his performance was inconsistent with the data.

On the offensive end, he obviously has not adapted to nBa level confrontation. Although he can frequently force his opponents to make irons on the defensive end, there are few blockings. Compared with Sergi Ibaka, who is famous for blocking, Morris has received relatively less attention.

When Ibaka and Anjie partnered with the inside, Anjie instantly felt that he was much easier than last season.

Although Sergi Ibaka is very strong and has an abnormal athletic ability, his feel is beyond expectations.

His shooting range is further than Costic, and his shooting is greater than Costic. He can help Angel open more space on the offensive end, and his eye-catching block on the defensive end also gives the Thunder another layer of barrier in the three-second zone.

So, as the Thunder's third preseason opponent, the New York Knicks, is not as lucky as the first two teams.

Although David Lee is a regular visitor to the 2oyio club, David Lee's performance is really not convincing when facing the Thunder's three-yuan inside player.

97 to 88, when the Thunder and the Knicks both played according to their normal rotation, the Thunder, who was stronger than Yicai, had the last laugh.

The first time I played all the cards, Van Gundy led the team to a great victory. This is also the first time the Thunder exposed his true strength to others.

In the last preseason game on yio/2/2, the Thunder's opponent is the Charlotte Bobcats, who are gradually rising in the East.

The Bobcats also paid several times more time than the Thunder in the same rise. However, judging from the performance of this game, their slow work did not do "fine work".

The three young men of the Thunder fired together, which seriously hit the Charlottes' optimism before the game.

"Elvis" Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton performed well, but unfortunately, when the Thunder three young men scored over 2o, they almost rarely lost.

In the whole game, Angel killed Tyrus Thomas. He would not give Thomas a chance to rush on the defensive end. On the offensive end, Angel used his strength and technical advantages to play like a fish in water.

2 points and 3 rebounds, this is the preseason Anjie scored 2o points and scored a double-double.

99 to 93, although the score difference is not big, the Thunder team is taking the initiative in the scene. In this way, all four preseason games arranged by Van Gundy for the team were over, with 2 wins and 2 losses. Such a result will definitely make many scouts from other teams unable to understand and see the true strength of the Thunder.

Four games are enough for all the Thunder team members to activate their competitive state. When the young people from Yi group returned to Oklahoma with great enthusiasm, there were only eight days left before the start of the regular season game.

The nBa opening match will be held on yio on 27th, but the Thunder will not have a game until the 28th.

A few years ago, Anjie was just starting out. People say that being able to gain a foothold in nBa is his greatest success. But he not only gained a foothold in nBa, but also ranked as the All-Star, won the Best Rookie, and was selected into the rookie lineup.

Years later, An Jie experienced the baptism of 82 nBa games. The game was no longer the goal he pursued. Playoffs, second round, division finals, and even the finals. Who dared to stand up and say that it was impossible to have a life?

Another October, another season. The difference is that the Thunder Three is a little less immature and becomes even more threatening!
