Just like a few months earlier, Donovan walked toward Nurse again victorious.However, when the two shook hands, they both smiled like flowers.
As the winner, Donovan is naturally in a good mood.The Thunder got off to a good start at home and gave all Oklahoma fans a beautiful gift.At the same time, it also gave everyone who is still hopeful about the Thunder a shot in the arm.After all, the combat effectiveness shown by the Raptors in this game is not weak.
Although Nas lost the game, he saw what he wanted to see from the game.The performance of the Raptors players, whether it is personal ability or overall tactical cooperation, satisfied Narina.Losing the game was only because the Thunder was too strong.
Van Vleet continued the explosive state in the second half of last year's playoffs. Since giving birth to his son, he has become Van Jordan.In this game, he started the game, played 35 minutes, and handed over 25 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.In this era of front line players, Van Vleet's performance in this game is already at the level of an All-Star guard.
Lowry is still stable. During these years in Toronto, although he often pulls his hips in the playoffs and is dubbed "trash brother" with DeRozan, he has always been a very good player in the regular season.Moreover, after experiencing last year's trip to the finals, Lowry has become more sophisticated and efficient on the organizational side.In this game, while he scored 16 points, he also contributed 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals.Although it is impossible to become the head of the Raptors, but retreating to the second line as a support, I am afraid that there will not be many people like him in this league.
Gasol Jr. used 13 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block to prove that he is not old yet, his mailbox still has gas, and his classic car can still run.Players such as Ibaka, Anunoby, and Powell also performed outstandingly in this game. Although their abilities are indeed inferior to those of the star players, after a summer of changes, they are still able to The performance in the finals is very valuable.For these role players, doing what they can do is enough.For a team, this is also very important.After all, the star players on the team can lead the team to win the game, but those few people alone are not enough.
What satisfies Nurse the most is Siakam's performance.Played 38 minutes, made 22 of 13 shots, including 5 of 2 three-pointers, 12 of 8 free throws, and scored 36 points.It was the highest score for the Raptors team and the second-highest score in the game.In addition to scoring, Siakam also contributed 12 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds.It can be said that in this game, he and Gasol supported the Raptors' penalty area together.In addition, he also sent 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.Both offensive and defensive ends are extremely dominant.Of course, Siakam is still some distance away from supporting the Raptors. He is a little impatient on the offensive end, and his offensive methods are slightly rough.The physical confrontation is still not enough, and the ability to prevent pick-and-rolls is not ideal.
But in any case, it is a wise choice for the Raptors to train Siakam as the backbone of the team.They are also lucky to be able to select such a high-quality player in the second half of the first round, which is no worse than the Bucks next door.
If these players can maintain the state of the opener throughout the season, the Raptors will even be included in the championship sequence.But that's not very realistic either.However, judging from the performance of Siakam, Lowry, Van Vleet and others, the Raptors will definitely not be absent in this year's playoffs.They can even compete for the top half of the Eastern Conference playoffs and go further in the playoffs.
On Thunder's side, the best performer was naturally An Luo.
Although he only scored 14 points in the first half, starting from the third quarter, most of the Thunder's offensive possessions were tilted to him.He also lived up to the trust and expectations of Donovan and other Thunder players. After scoring 19 points in the third quarter, he scored another 12 points in the fourth quarter.At the final decisive moment, he stood up and scored 7 points in a row to help the team stabilize the victory.Throughout the game, An Luo played 35 minutes and made 30 of 19 shots, including 11 of 7 three-pointers and scored 45 points.An Luo alone took more shots than Westbrook and Gallinari combined, but he also contributed more points than the two combined.
Both the overall field goal percentage and the three-point field goal percentage exceeded 30%. For a scorer with as many as [-] shots, although it is not shocking, it is surprising enough.It's not easy to win if you shoot accurately and shoot more!
In addition to scoring, An Luo's performance in other aspects is also very good.Throughout the game, he sent 6 assists, setting a new high in his career assist data.Of course, four of those six assists came in the first half.An Luo made full use of his containment power and excellent passing ability on the court, and provided a lot of help to his teammates.Secondly, on the defensive end, he also contributed 6 steals and 4 rebounds.
Westbrook continued his three-year streak of averaging a triple-double.In this game, he surrendered 20 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists.Compared to last season, Westbrook's scoring has risen.This is also the basic trend of the Thunder's game this season. Westbrook will definitely allocate part of his energy to the end of the offense.
New aid Gallinari scored 21 points in a low-key manner.His performance is not amazing, but it has met Donovan's expectations.On the contrary, it was the young player Alexander's performance that made everyone's eyes shine.Alexander, who came off the bench, played 26 minutes and contributed 15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.But judging from the data, these two people have made up for the vacancy left by Paul George.At this point, Presti should be able to breathe a sigh of relief!After all, he was greatly criticized for this deal this summer, but now it seems that the Thunder did not suffer.
The performances of players such as Adams, Grant, Robertson, Diallo, and Burton are also remarkable.Although these people do not have outstanding data, their contributions are visible to everyone.
Of course, one game doesn't explain too much.However, judging from the state of the Thunder players, they are fully prepared and full of confidence for the new season that has already started.
