The week before the start of the preseason, thunder's training hall was completely lively. At this time, the thunder team's lineup is basically determined.

Gallinari made up for Paul George's departure. Although he often played position four on the clippers, Donovan put him back in position three. Compared with Paul George's excellent performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive, Gallinari's attack can basically fill the gap in the thunder No. 3 position, but Gallinari's defense is really a lot worse than Paul George.

But the good news is that Robertson has recovered. As long as he returns to the field, Oklahoma's defense will go further. At that time, thunder is still a strong defensive team.

Grant was almost traded by Presti this season, but in the end, his growth moved the thunder management. Last season, after Robertson was injured, grant topped the starting four. At the beginning, we were worried about whether thunder would lose the championship because of such changes. After all, a team's defense in the playoffs, the role of the finals is extremely important.

However, Grant's maturity and ability on the defensive end reassured everyone. It's not as good as Robertson, but it's enough for most games. Besides, Grant's offensive ability is much better than Robertson's. Having a player who is good at both offense and defense, it also prevents Paul George and Angelo from being endlessly wrapped up by each other.

It has to be said that Grant's rapid growth has become an important part of thunder's defending the crown. Maybe that's one of the reasons why he can be in the thunder. Of course, it may also be that Presti can't find a strong enough number four player in the free market.

Alexander, a sophomore from the clippers, was put in position one by Donovan. In fact, this young man is more than just the exchange between Paul George and Gallinari. With Presti's eyes, he will not pick a rookie at will.

At the 2018 draft convention, 20-year-old Alexander was favored by the Hornets. The team picked up the potential player with the 11th place in the first round. However, before he could play for the Hornets, Alexander was traded to the Clippers. As a result, the Clippers became the starting point of Alexander's career. As a high ranking representative, the Lotto show members will get certain attention no matter which team they are in, and Alexander is no exception.

In the 2018-19 season, when the clippers were in the period of reconstruction, training new players was also very important to the team, so Alexander had plenty of playing opportunities. This year, he played 82 full-time games, and 73 starts. In 26.5 minutes per game, Alexander can contribute 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists, and this data is also a height few rookies can reach. Although the pressure at this time is not the core of the clippers, Alexander has become a very important player of the Clippers in the release process of ability and value.

But when Alexander thought he was going to make a big show in Los Angeles, the Business League's "calculation" gave him a blow. This summer, in the course of George's trade, Alexander was regarded as a trade lick, as a "victim" he was mercilessly sent to the thunder.

However, Alexander is lucky compared to those who have been sent to the frontier. Thunder, after all, is a two consecutive championship team, although the strength has been damaged, but how is also better than the Clippers last season. Young players need more than enough playing time. What you learn in a team with a championship blood has a great influence on their growth.

Westbrook, anlow and Adams have become the stable framework left over from the previous two seasons, and they are also the core of both sides of the thunder attack and defense in the new season. However, if you want the carriage to run smoothly, you can't rely on this bare frame. With a few days to go before the preseason, Donovan trained with his players.

By the time ANLO returned to Oklahoma, thunder's training camp had begun for several days. Although Anluo returned to the training hall for the first time, he could not participate in the training together with Westbrook and others.

Although Anluo has been training and playing with the national team in the off-season, he still has to accept the physical test of the thunder team. It's a test that all players have to go through before the start of each season. NBA officials and clubs have to make sure that players have the ability to play in the next season.

Therefore, on his first day at the Chesapeake energy stadium, ANLO had to sit on the sidelines and watch his teammates train.

From the final confrontation point of view, whether it is the players left last season or new players, the state is very good. In particular, Alexander, a sophomore, has never lost ground against Westbrook. However, Alexander is obviously not adapted to the role of number one, and his playing style is more inclined to shooting guard. Donovan can't help it. If it wasn't for a good point guard in the free market, he wouldn't want to cultivate one himself.

But now it seems that Alexander will not only be used as a substitute for Westbrook, he is fully capable of playing with Westbrook when ANLO is at rest. He has that potential.Gallinari's performance was average. It's not that he's not playing well. In fact, Gallinari's style of playing matches the thunder very well. He didn't go to the ball too much to attack, but used the running position and cover to find the opportunity to shoot. This kind of play, Anluo does not know whether it is Gallinari's own ability or the result of Donovan's training these days. They're familiar with Westbrook and others, anyway.

Robson is in good condition, his defense is still strong, and his attack is still pulling his crotch. Adams's footwork is still a big drawback of the thunder defense, but his ability to finish, block and protect rebounds under the basket is still an indispensable part of the thunder team. The rest of the players, Westbrook, Ferguson, Diallo, Noel, Burton and so on, are still the same.

All in all, everything is fine. In Anluo's view, this year's thunder is not much different from last year's thunder. ANLO can't wait to join the training, train with his teammates and work together for the new season.
