Chapter 177 Opening Match

10月26日，安洛随队前往费城。他们将会在27日客场对阵76人，正式拉开NBA2016-2017赛季常规赛的征程。

This game is very important to the Thunder and Westbrook.

The Thunder, which lost Durant, completely became Westbrook's team alone.Over the years, with the departure of Harden, Ibaka and Durant, he finally became a lone hero.

No one is optimistic about the Thunder team he led, and almost everyone has "sympathetic" eyes.But Westbrook doesn't need sympathy from others.He is now very much like Kobe after the Sharks swim east, full of anger, and regards himself as the enemy of the entire league.He wanted those people to see that without such a strong helper, he could do a lot of things.

The past few years in Philadelphia have been even more difficult!They seem to be cursed, and they will never get out of the quagmire.In fact, they have acquired many outstanding young people through the draft during these years of poor performance.But few healthy ones!

This summer, the 76ers seem to have better luck.

This season, the "Emperor" Embiid, who has been waiting for two years, can finally play.Moreover, after 20 years, he won the No. [-] pick in the draft again, bringing "Little James" Ben Simmons to Philadelphia.

Everyone is optimistic about this 76ers.How high is the upper limit of the combination of Embiid and Simmons?Just imagine O'Nealga James at his peak.

Unfortunately, the curse of Philadelphia has not expired.This year's No. [-] pick, Ben Simmons, fractured the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot in previous training!The best case is to recuperate for four weeks, and the worst case is to be reimbursed for the season!

Of the two teams, it's hard to say who was more injured this summer.But in terms of strength, the Thunder still have the advantage.

An Luo had heard before that Westbrook is a very fashionable guy.On the way to the arena, Anlu finally saw what "fashion" is!
A denim suit and a yellow sweater are a very regular match.But after matching it with a fancy skirt, it looks very coquettish!This is what Westbrook looks like today!

An Luo was dressed in sportswear, carrying their bags, and followed behind.He felt that he was a little unworthy to stand with this guy, after all, he wasn't "fashionable" enough!But thinking about the big red leather pants recommended by this guy last night, he still thinks it's good to walk behind.

On the way to the locker room, Westbrook was wearing headphones, shaking his head all the way, looking very happy.

In fact, it's been a lot of fun since yesterday.Kevin Durant, who switched to the Warriors, lost to the Spurs in yesterday's game.

You will lose too!And we will win!

Therefore, the next step is to take away the victory from the opponent's home court!

An Luo stood in the Wells Fargo Center Arena, feeling quite uneasy.This is not the first time he has played in the NBA, but the summer league and preseason games are still a bit lacking.

The fans are very enthusiastic, of course not for the visiting team.Embiid seems to have finally fully recovered. If Simmons was not injured, the Philadelphia fans should be the second happiest people in the NBA this year!
After the appearance ceremony, An Luo arrived at the stadium and began to warm up.He was wearing headphones, and the sound was too loud. He needed to calm down and find the feeling of shooting.In the first game, Donovan will definitely not give him too much playing time. He must play something worthy of everyone's trust from the first catch.

At the same time, Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean were watching the game in various live broadcast rooms.

In this year's NBA draft, three Chinese players were selected, which is very exciting.But it is a pity that, except for An Luo, neither of the other two chose to land in the NBA this season.Ever since, as the only Chinese player currently playing in the NBA, everyone's focus is naturally on him.

"Friends in the audience, what we are seeing now is the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Philadelphia 2016ers in the regular season of the NBA 2017-76 season. There are less than 20 minutes left before the game, and players from both sides have already entered the field. From the screen We can see that An Luo is warming up, and his three-pointers are really accurate!"

"I have to say that the player An Luo really came into being at the right time. His technical characteristics are very suitable for the current basketball system. In the previous few preseason games, his performance was also remarkable. Three The shooting percentage has been maintained at more than 3.5%, and he can make [-] shots per game, and the defense is also very good!"

"Of course, the regular season is different. The intensity of the game has increased, but I am still very optimistic about An Luo. He is a very promising Chinese player who will become an NBA star after Yao Ming."

Before the start of the game, several commentators talked freely.The fans in the live broadcast room also expressed their opinions one after another.

Soon, the game officially began.

In this game, An Luo is still sitting on the bench.Basically, he can't compete with Audi this season.Fortunately, An Luo is not in a hurry, as long as he can gain a firm foothold and play his own value.

For the Thunder, Westbrook, Oladipo, Robertson, Sabonis and Adams started; for the 76ers, Rodriguez, Henderson, Covington, Saric and Embiid.

Westbrook chose to go it alone for the first offense!He played singles with the ball, faced Rodriguez, accelerated directly, squeezed the opponent away in one step, and rushed to the inside to make a jump shot.

To be honest, in terms of aesthetics alone, An Luo feels that Westbrook's zombie jumper is comparable to his own dunk.

But extraordinary is really beautiful!Unfortunately, the goal was missed.

The "Emperor", who lost the jump ball with Adams, was a little unhappy!He sprinted to the paint and took the rebound off Adams very aggressively.

For the 76ers to attack.Embiid pulled directly to the outside line, received a pass from his teammate, and made a three-pointer.

Embiid is not a big man in the traditional sense. He is a tall and athletic center with excellent coordination and aggressiveness; he has the ability to handle and shoot the ball, and his range extends beyond the three-point line.Excellent lateral movement, capable of blocking shots and rebounding.

This is also the main reason why the 76ers have enough patience to wait for Embiid for two years.Of course, whether it's worth it or not depends on whether Embiid can show a satisfactory ability in the next game.

Both sides did not start well, and the players on the field collectively became blacksmiths.

Westbrook singles with the ball!Stop and jump shot!Miss!
Embiidella to the outside!Catch the pass!Three-point shot!Miss!
Robertson breaks through and makes a throw!Miss!
……

It wasn't until Henderson made an air cut layup that he finally broke the scoring drought.

But after this ball, the two sides fell into a vortex of mistakes again.

Oladipo ambushed from the outside, received the ball from Westbrook, and made a three-point shot!

Saric misses the pass!
Westbrook reciprocated and made a pass error!
