Chapter 826 Preseason
On October 10, the flames of the NBA1-2019 season finally ignited on the courts around the world.
Tianchao, as an extremely important area in the world of basketball, the NBA plays several preseason games here every year.Most of the teams we played against were professional CBA teams. Occasionally, the national team would be invited to play a series of matches, but that was rare.Such a warm-up game is nominally a mutual exchange and promotes the positive development of basketball on both sides, but in fact it is a platform for the NBA to expand its influence.After all, the NBA is a business league, and they won't do unprofitable things.
The first day of October is a very special day, especially October 10, 2019.Compared with those big events of family and country feelings, the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Shanghai Sharks seemed inconspicuous.Of course, for people in the basketball circle, especially fans of An Luo and the Thunder, this game is still quite exciting.
The game will be played at Chesapeake Energy Arena, home of the Thunder.Originally, players at An Luo's level could play or not play in the preseason.But this game, An Luo played for a long time.It feels like Donovan also wants to see An Luo's changes after the World Cup.
Westbrook and Adams were unable to play due to unhealed injuries. Their positions were replaced by the young player Alexander who joined the Thunder and Noelle who successfully stayed in the Thunder. Together with Gallinari and Grant, a completely new Thunder Appeared before the eyes of the world.
The Sharks' starting lineup is Motai Yunas, Nanali, Ju Mingxin, Luo Xudong and Dong Hanlin.In a typical CBA model, two foreign players bring three local players.An Luo was not very interested in this team building model. He never knew why so many foreign aids were needed.
In fact, the CBA game still looks very exciting, but this excitement does not come from domestic players, but from foreign players in each team. It is not difficult to find out by looking at the rankings of various statistics. There are very few players who can make the list.
This seems to run counter to everyone's original intention.You must know that the purpose of introducing foreign aid was to improve the overall level of the league and increase commercial value.
To be honest, there is indeed a big difference between the domestic basketball level and the United States, Spain, Argentina, Australia and other countries.The development of basketball is actually like the development of the economy. Closed-door policy will never be more practical than reform and opening up. The role of introducing foreign aid is far more beneficial than local players pecking each other.
Of course, it is impossible for those top players to play in the CBA.To come, it is also at the end of their careers, when it is difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA.
Domestic fans want to watch more entertaining games. Apart from TV and the Internet, there are not many ways. There are still relatively few people going out to watch the games.The arrival of these foreign aids made up for this defect.Let's not talk about how high the level of foreign players is, but these guys' mentality, style of play and usual training for the game are still better than those of domestic players.This will be competitive, but also to achieve a win-win effect.
At the beginning, it did achieve the desired effect.Foreign players have also played their own role. Under the impact of these stronger players, domestic players still shine in the CBA league.But as time went by, everything changed.
The game has become a duel between foreign players, and it is difficult for domestic players to shine.It seems that he does not have the ability to take over the game.These players who were supposed to be the rising stars of the Tianchao men's basketball team played timidly on the court. It seemed that each of them was suffering from dependence on foreign aid.
In this game against the Thunder, An Luo once again saw such a scene.
Throughout the game, the two foreign aids fought desperately with their opponents. However, due to the relatively low participation of domestic players, even players with offensive capabilities will give up the ball to foreign aids to attack.When foreign players are flanked or the ball is dead, the offensive time is greatly reduced, and it will be passed to Chinese players to shoot.
In this case, not only does it not help the growth of domestic players, but it also takes a serious blow to their self-esteem.In fact, when the strength of the opponents differs greatly, it is actually more appropriate to fight freely.But now it seems that in this Shanghai Sharks team, except for the two foreign players, most of the other Chinese players are timid, afraid that the ball will pass into their hands.
Compared to the Shark's struggle, the Thunder played much more easily.Of course, the strength of the two is indeed very different.
An Luo played nearly 30 minutes, which is really not short for a preseason game.Under Donovan's special instructions, An Luo completely let go of his hands and feet during the game.Accurate three-pointers and elegant fadeaway jumpers are all An Luo's amazing scoring ability.
To everyone's surprise, An Luo's frequent use of European step layups and post-up singles is obviously his newly developed offensive method.It can be seen that An Luo has improved again this season.For the Thunder, this is undoubtedly something to be happy about.After all, an An Luo who has developed a singles ability is the scariest in the game.The richer the offensive means, the easier it is to score, and the harder it is for the opponent to defend.
In addition, An Luo's defensive and passing ability also opened everyone's eyes.Before that, although An Luo was able to pass the ball and defended well, he lacked the aura of ease.
In contrast, rookie Alexander, who played as the starting No. 32, is more like a shooting guard.In the 19 minutes he played, he surrendered 3 points, 3 rebounds and 25 assists.Not bad for a sophomore.You know, Alexander is just an extra character.Coupled with a Gallinari who scored [-] points, the Thunder's trade in the offseason does not seem to be a disadvantage.
An Luo scored 27 points in the game, plus 12 assists and 3 steals.Whether it is scoring or organization, An Luo has done a very good job.Other Thunder players also handed over a satisfactory answer sheet for Donovan.
After 48 minutes of competition, the Thunder won a big victory with a score of 128:73 and achieved the first victory of the new season.
Of course, this is just a preseason game.Moreover, their opponent is the Shanghai Sharks, who are not considered a strong team in the CBA.After the reorganization of the Thunder, they still need a stronger opponent to test their combat effectiveness.
