Super Heavy Artillery

Before going to Portland, the Thunder ushered in a new teammate-Corey Brewer.

This person An Luo knew him and was very familiar. He knew this guy when he was playing alone on that small court. But at that time, An Luo didn't know his name, only that he was called "company commander."

As for the nickname of company commander, it comes from a TV series called "Bright Sword". Because Brewer looked like the cavalry company commander Zhang Dabiao inside, domestic netizens gave him such a nickname. In fact, his way of playing on the court is very similar to the cavalry company commander in the TV series. Brewer rushed to the fast break as quickly and fiercely as riding a war horse. Back then, he relied on non-stop defensive counterattacks, using fast breaks to rush to the rim when the opponent was unstable, and scored a career-high 51 points. This is a score that many superstars have never scored.

However, in the Thunder, the company commander is most familiar with Donovan. In the two years from 2005 to 2007, Donovan led the University of Florida Alligators to successively win the NCAA National Championship. Corey Brewer is the core player in this alligator team. And Brewer also won the semi-final mop and was selected into the University of Florida Hall of Fame.

This can be regarded as a reunion of master and apprentice! When Donovan introduced the company commander, he was very happy: "Guys, introduce a new teammate to everyone. He is Corey Brewer! A great guy who can provide us with a lot of help. "

"Don't say, this guy really looks more like a cavalry company commander!"

An Luo muttered in his heart, and hugged each other. Although this guy has been wandering around, but he really has some skills under his hands. An Luo watched the game that the Rockets scored 51 points that year, and also watched An Luo's game with the Nuggets on the "Track and Field Team". So he has high expectations for Brewer's performance after joining the team.

After Brewer joined, the Thunder has one more player on the bench. After all, with Brewer's offensive ability and playing style, he can completely serve as the starting second and third position in some weaker teams. Coupled with Kanter, Grant, Felton and Patterson, Ferguson, Hustis and other people, the Thunder's bench strength is not bad.

However, in the game against the Blazers, Brewer did not get too many opportunities to show himself.

In the first quarter, the two teams drew a tie, and the effects of Anlow and Paul George were basically offset by Lillard and McCollum. Nurkic performed better than Adams, but with Westbrook, the Thunder still maintained the rebounding advantage. This season, the Thunder's rebounding ability has always been at the forefront of the league.

In the second quarter, Westbrook took Kanter and the new cavalry company commander, Felton and other substitute players to play half of the game. Brewer is very comfortable with the Thunder's running and playing style. After all, they did that in the Nuggets. And with Westbrook charging in front, Brewer played more comfortably. So he played well in the minutes on the court.

Especially in those few connections with Westbrook, Brewer fully demonstrated his offensive ability. A three-pointer and an empty cut layup, the timing was just right. Although it seems a bit too early to draw a conclusion to a player just by looking at the minutes, core players such as Donovan and Anlo are still relatively optimistic about this deal. As for those substitute players, it varies from person to person.

In the second half, both sides are the main players. Lillard likes to shoot from the three-point line more and more, and this guy's shooting distance is getting farther and farther. However, McCollum still prefers to break through. His speed and direction are very rapid, and the confrontation is also good. It is totally unimaginable that this guy was just a little under 160cm in his first year of high school.

After the first half, the Thunder won by 11 points. However, in the second half, the Thunder's double-digit lead was quickly wiped out by the Blazers and overtaken. Lillard made 3 consecutive ultra-long three-pointers from beyond the three-point line. He was so excited that he raised his wrist to show off his "watch"! Under his outbreak, the Blazers hit a 25:10 thunder wave. And it was played when the Thunder's main force was on the court. Paul George is in poor form, he played a lot of time in the last game. This season, the Thunder have played very hard in all back-to-backs, and the winning percentage is also very low.

In the latter quarter, Donovan went all out and played with the Blazers for 12 minutes. But they still lost the game by 2 points. In fact, at the last moment, the Thunder have a chance to end the game. But the Trail Blazers' highly targeted defense prevented them from having two consecutive equalization opportunities.

At the last moment, the Blazers' strategy is to directly target An Luo. McCollum and Aminu have been staring at An Luo closely, and Robertson was directly emptied, making it difficult for An Luo to receive the ball. The first time it was Westbrook, he launched an impact from outside the three-point line, and the layup that burst to the basket was fanned out of the sideline by Nurkic. After serving, Paul George took the ball from the three-point line, shook his former teammate Evan Turner, and threw the lore.

However, Paul George's state is really too bad, the ball hit the front rock of the basket and bounced directly.

The Blazers got a victory, and they became one of the few teams that can beat the Thunder this season. And ruthlessly ended the opponent's eleven consecutive victories, and by the way, increased his winning streak to six. Became the holder of the longest winning streak in the entire West.

In fact, the Thunder are not too entangled in the game's winning or losing, even if they really want to try to hit their winning streak. But this is all trivial. As long as it is a winning streak, there will inevitably be an end. And losing the game does not mean anything. The Blazers are a strong team, and they played well enough to win the game as a matter of course.

Next, the Thunder will consider the next game. They will return to Oklahoma City to meet the challenge of the Houston Rockets led by James Harden and Chris Paul. If the Blazers are a strong opponent, then the Rockets are a headache for them. And unlike the previous fight, Chris Paul has completely healed. And after the All-Star Weekend, his state has been adjusted to the best.

Is it the beginning of a new winning streak, or another two-game losing streak. It depends on the state of the Thunder players.
