The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 233 All-Star Voting (Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass)
The rest time is over, and the schedule is coming as scheduled.

At 12:2 p.m. on December 8, the Thunder will sit at home and face the Philadelphia 76ers. This season, the 76ers have begun to perform poorly. The game has not yet started. The team's record is 5 wins and 13 losses, ranking second to last in the Eastern Conference.

They give people the impression that they are a team that is indifferent to the world. They don't care about the championship. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose the game.

Even so, Coach Brooks is still very cautious in preparing for the game. He knows that there are no underdogs in the NBA, and sometimes there will be an upset when the enemy is underestimated.

Being able to enter the NBA shows that these players have strength.

Now the players of the Thunder are too young, they are often impetuous during the game, and they are also a team that is prone to waves, so their average turnovers per game are also among the top in the league.

Now the leading star in Philadelphia is Iguodala, nicknamed "Little AI". This person has amazing explosive power, outstanding athletic ability, and strong defensive awareness.

At the same time, the Philadelphia 76ers selected "Holiday Brother" Juho Ledi with the No. 17 pick. Judging from this month's performance, this person's defense is also excellent. He is good at defensive counterattacks, but his shooting stability is not good enough.

Judging from the scene, the strengths of the two teams are not at the same level, but Brooks' reminder still made the Thunder players focus a lot. They must win the good start in December.

At the beginning, the Thunder played very proactively.

Iguodala faced Kevin Durant, and the two collided fiercely. You made a shot, I dunked one, you made a steal, and I blocked the shot. It was full of gunpowder as soon as it came up.

When Holiday faced Curry, he used his strong body to make Curry very uncomfortable. Coupled with the extremely strong defense, Curry failed to gain an advantage.

Then, the heavy responsibility of scoring falls to Lin Yue.

Just won the Rookie of the Month, Lin Yue's mentality has changed, he is not a pure organization player, his scoring ability is also outstanding.

Two consecutive fadeaway jumpers were hit, and the fans at the scene began to boil.

Iguodala's height is not very high, only 198cm. He is completely using his body to fight Durant, but the effect is not obvious.

However, at this time, Thaddeus Young of the Philadelphia 76ers stood up. Facing Lin Yue's defense, he passed him directly and scored the ball against Collison's defense.

2.03cm, 100kg, a guy with such outstanding static talent does have superstar appearance.

Eddie Jordan, the coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, asked Iguodala to switch positions with him in order to allow Thaddeus Young to play more comfortably, and at the same time limit Durant's offense.

10 to 8, the 76ers temporarily lead by two points.

This time, Durant no longer confronted Maimang. After covering and changing defenses, facing Thaddeus Young's defense, Durant directly chose to play hard. He was also a player in the 07 draft. Thaddeus Young was the 12th pick in the first round, while Durant was the second pick. The gap between the two is still obvious.

Durant rushed to the basket and dunked the ball against the defense, causing a foul by the defender at the same time. After scoring 2 plus 1, the Thunder began to overtake the score.

Just when Brooks thought the game would be controlled by the Thunder, Willie Green made a three-pointer from the same position for two consecutive rounds. Sure enough, the guy named Green has a good three-pointer.

Then halftime passed, Lin Yue was replaced at the end of the game, and the Philadelphia 76ers maintained a few-point lead until the end of the first quarter.

33 to 29, the Philadelphia 76ers can still lead by 4 points.

伊戈达拉4中2，进了一个三分，罚球两罚两中，单节拿到7分2篮板2助攻2抢断1盖帽1失误1犯规的数据，填满计数栏。

赛迪斯杨8中5，三分球3投2中，拿到12分1篮板。

雷霆队这边，杜兰特8中4，三分球2中2，罚球2中2，拿到12分2篮板2助攻1盖帽，发挥比较正常。

The difference of 4 points is not too big. The fans present are still not optimistic that the 76ers can beat the Thunder in the away game. The Thunder basically fell behind in the first quarter of this season.

Players enter the state at a relatively slow speed. Like the Heat, they are both slow-warming teams, and the more they play, the better they are.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder began to counterattack. Under the leadership of Lin Yue, the substitute lineup played a wave of 10-2 offensive climax, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, and still had some advantages.

Then, as Brooks expected, the Thunder firmly occupied the initiative on the field. The Philadelphia 76ers' defense created some troubles for the Thunder, but their offense also had problems.

In the first quarter, they only achieved a 70-point lead when they shot 4% of their three-pointers. As the Thunder gradually improved, the gap in strength between the two was reflected.

In the end, the game ended, and the Thunder beat the Philadelphia 117ers 106 to 76. The process of the game was not too difficult, but the Thunder couldn't open the score.

In this game, "little AI" Iguodala made 15 of 8 shots and was very efficient. He made 5 of 3 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. His performance was quite impressive.

霍勒迪11投6中，三分球6中3，没有罚球，拿到15分3篮板3助攻2抢断，表现也算正常。

Thaddeus Young also scored [-] points, and the performance of the three was still online, so the Thunder failed to increase the score.

Lin Yue's regular performance of 22 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds in this game is always some distance away from a triple-double.

Durant scored 34 points and 11 rebounds, the highest scoring player in the game.

库里16中7，三分球7中3，罚球同样9中9，拿到26分5篮板5助攻的数据。

Judging from the data of the trio alone, the Thunder is not leading well. After easily passing the Philadelphia 76ers, the Thunder has won 13 games, 13 wins and 5 losses. A wave of four consecutive victories has narrowed the gap between them and the top teams.

Meanwhile, the All-Star voting channel will begin next Monday, after the Thunder's next game.

According to the voting results of previous years, the probability of Lin Yue being selected as the All-Star starter is basically 100%. Chinese people in the United States will basically vote for Lin Yue. With the support of domestic fans, the All-Star is stable.

But all of this needs to be affirmed by the league. To put it bluntly, Lin Yue must have the strength of an All-Star to participate in the All-Star.

In addition, they also need to participate in the Rookie Challenge. It seems that for other players, it is a relaxing All-Star Weekend, and Lin Yue has to be busy playing.
