21 points win! Defending champion dimensionality reduction strike: Five starting players are absent, and 7 players in the team are still in double digits

On October 6, the NBA preseason continued, with the defending champion Thunder playing against the Hornets. All five starting players of the Thunder were absent in this game, but they were in a very hot state, and the defense intensity of both teams was not high. Wiggins helped the team take the initiative and led by 13 points in the first half. In the second half, the Thunder continued their hot state, completely suppressing the Hornets and widened the gap to more than 20 points. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Hornets 135-114, achieving a good start in the preseason.

Thunder won the championship last season, and there was no adjustment in the offseason lineup. All the teams started in the first game of the preseason, and the starting lineups were sent to Topic, Joe, Wiggins, Gion and Jaylin Williams. But even if the main players are lacking, the Thunder players are still full of confidence on the court and are not at a disadvantage against the main players of the Hornets. They are blooming at multiple points on the offensive end. Every player can make contributions when they come on the court, and always take the initiative on the court, and finally won a 21-point victory.

Not Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Homgren, and even Caruso, Harten and Doulter did not play, but even so, the Thunder still showed a strong lineup depth and every player could score. The team scored 20 three-pointers and sent 33 assists to completely suppress the Hornets.

And this time, only 11 players in the Thunder played, and as many as 7 players scored in double digits. Wiggins scored the highest 23 points in the game, and the plus-minus value +23 is also the highest in the game. In addition, Young Brad scored 20 points for 5 of 8 three-pointers, Jerin Williams and Gion both scored 17 points, Lyons scored a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds, Gotman scored 15 points, and Topic scored 10 points and 7 assists. The Hornets felt sluggish, and the main players played for more than 10 minutes, but they did not gain the upper hand on the court. This time, Ball played for 15 minutes, scored 11 points with 3 of 6 three-pointers; Miller scored 0 of 5 three-pointers and scored 8 points, and Bridges scored 3 of 6 three-pointers and scored 7 points and 8 rebounds. Obviously, it is still difficult for the Hornets to achieve a counterattack in the new season, and the current lineup is still not very competitive.
