Chapter 466: Durant's Tragedy(1/2)
From the match between Weisha and Durant, it can be seen that basketball games are not an inch long and strong in the absolute sense.
Height can determine a person's upper and lower limits at many levels, but if the foundation of a person with a height is not laid well, there is no way to talk about the upper and lower limits.
Wei Xia faced Durant, and because of his outstanding upper limb strength, explosive core strength and unfathomable lower limb strength, Durant encountered many unexpected difficulties when facing him.
The complete failure in the first section is a clear proof.
Next, the top priority of supersonic speed is to avoid Durant and Weisha facing each other head-on.
The pick-and-roll tactics of ball holders have not become popular in the contemporary era. Except for the Jazz and the Suns, no team likes to use pick-and-roll as the starting style of offense.
The Supersonics want Durant to get rid of Weisha, and regarding the pick-and-roll as the main tactic of the offense is a must.
In the second quarter, Durant scored a lot of points when he used a pick-and-roll attack and misaligned against others.
Seeing his current playing style, Wei Xia had a question.
Is this considered his defensive failure? Durant scored 7 points against others and scored 9 points in the first half. The double-digit goal could no longer be stopped.
Wei Xia looked at the Zen master with the intention of inquiring.
However, the Zen master hid his thoughts in his glasses, and Wei Xia could not see through his lenses.
When Durant made his strength, Wei Xia gave a moderate response on the offensive end, which was not as dazzling as the first quarter, but scored 6 points, with the highest score of 20 points in the first half.
The second quarter is a proud section for Durant, and it is also a section for Kobe to educate children.
At the beginning, he chose to pull the ball outside the three-point line, which reminds people of Kobe's past scenery No. 8.
Do you think he is not scary because he should wear No. 24? This kind of thinking is the most terrifying.
Kobe's three-pointer was used to teach people, and his defensive end made an unreasonable strong shot that made his opponent scared.
Supersonic suddenly asked three people to attack him.
"Three people?" Wei Xia saw Kobe insisting on attacking, and said with a psychological suggestion, "Isn't it enough?"
He heard Damien Wilkins beside him trembled. The situation later was as Wei Xia said. The three of them faced Kobe who was in a hot state, which was not enough to see.
First of all, there will be problems with the three people who go to defend Kobe.
Durant claims to have the agility of a two-meter small forward, but after Kobe's fake moves, he easily contributed his defensive position. Wilcox's assisted defense is not a threat.
The hope of the whole village, Jeff Green's assisted defense, at least, made Kobe raise the shooting curve, which was his biggest and only contribution in this defense.
Kobe is not aiming at the center of the basket, but directly below the rebound.
Bang, hit the board.
The Supersonics began to despair, and Kobe's unreasonable consecutive single-handed score was only halfway through.
Later, Supersonic gave up resistance and let Durant defend alone.
Kobe actually started playing back and blatantly bullied Shubao Du Zhi's thinness with his own strength.
Durant initially wanted to cover Kobe with height.
He knew that it would be difficult to withstand Kobe's back with his body thickness.
Length and width are his advantages and must be used.
However, Kobe spins and jumps, and his defense disappears.
The future superstar is now only nineteen years old. He is standing in front of Kobe like an ant, vulnerable.
70 to 52
The Lakers scored 70 points in the first half, and they played even more inflated than in the small ball era.
He scored 36 points in the first quarter, slightly inferior in the second quarter, and also had 34 points. The opponent's supersonics scored normally, but he could not compare to the abnormal Lakers.
The game entered the midfield timeout.
Kobe's halftime score was only 2 points less than Wei Xia.
The two of them took over the Lakers' first and second quarters, with a clear division of labor, which made the Supersonics difficult to adapt.
For two teams that are not on the same level, as long as the quality of the game increases, teams with insufficient strength will fall.
Like Wei Xia, Kobe was asked about his thoughts on Durant's first appearance.
Kobe, who performed extremely disdain on the court, expressed his affirmation to Durant off the court: "It is obvious that a young talent like KD is the future of the league. It is difficult for us to see anyone who has the same height, shooting ability and athletic ability as him. He is the future fighter."
If Wei Xia was by his side, he would definitely question: "You are so rude! You just said that he was just Rashad Lewis's level!"
Wei Xia was asked Durant's questions by reporters as well.
He sincerely gave Durant a high praise: "I can point out his shortcomings, but he is already an excellent player. It is very unsettling to have a newcomer like him in the same league because his shortcomings can be improved through training. The technical defects that can be practiced are not defects, but just a bug waiting to be fixed. His future has unlimited possibilities."
Wei Xia, who praised Durant as a flower, didn't know that he was just a third-grade player.
He was selected as an All-Star in the second grade, and he was aimed at the best team in the third grade. He could not even be regarded as Durant's senior. Drafts within three sessions are usually regarded as the same era.
He is the target Durant needs to work hard to catch up, but he is "uneasy" because the league has Durant?
His words made many people feel novel.
Entering the locker room, Phil Jackson surely put Durant's continuous scores through a pick-and-roll offense on Wei Xia.
During that time, the inside of the Lakers were Jamal Magloil who was not here with Wei Xia.
He can actually bring more interference to Durant, and he sometimes acts very casually. In the second quarter, he was the only one in the team who was trained as a dog by Kobe.
There is no evidence to prove that he deliberately lets Durant score because whether he can do his best or not is his final say.
What if he insisted that "I am a waste and can't defend against the pick-and-roll", what would happen? Besides, the Zen master doesn't blame him, he just blames Wei Xia.
It is normal for the Lakers to ask Wei Xia to take the blame if something happens.
Wei Xia himself was not angry, there was still a second half.
Make a small wish now.
In the second half, Durant was unable to score a point.
Although the hope is slim, he scored 10 points than Durant, the Zen Master will not be able to hold his meeting tomorrow.
After the locker room conversation ended, Weisha took Bynum, Odom, Hollins, Turiav and others' hands.
"You guys touch your conscience and say, how about me?"
Wei Xia asked.
He hopes these guys answer correctly.
"You are my favorite teammate." Bynum's answer moved Wei Xia. If there was no next sentence that deserved to be damn, "With you, the coach will never give priority to scolding me. I love you, wish."
Turiav said ashamedly: "Wish, I love you the same reason as Andrew."
Odom is not as unfair as those two.
Since the summer of 2006, he and Wei Xia have been close friends.
"I will support you whatever you do," Odom said.
Ryan Hollins's words were the most exciting: "As long as you are on the court, as long as I am on the court, I am your minion."
"Okay, I'll be relieved if you say that."
"What do you want us to do?"
"Kill Durant."
The naive Durant doesn't feel the murderous intent on the verge of.
Wei Xia felt a little sad when she saw him smiling at him. What a great newcomer, are they going to end here just after they have established a friendship?
Alas, it would be great if the Zen master didn't give him any orders to limit Durant to single digits to score...
Suddenly, Wei Xia thought of a way to preserve Durant's friendship.
That is to prevent him from knowing the truth.
His teammates can do anything to Durant, it has nothing to do with him anyway, just like Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry are no matter how despicable they are, they have nothing to do with Tim Duncan.
Wei Xia entered the third quarter with this idea.
This is also a unforgettable competition for Durant.
The excitement of this quarter allowed him to spend a chapter after retirement to focus on the impact of that quarter on him, what he thought about human birth, and the incomprehensible friendship between him and Wei Xia.
The first act of conflict occurred in the second and a half minutes of the third quarter.
Durant's sharp change of direction drifted past Wei Xia's center of gravity. He was about to move forward. Ronnie Turiaf, who swept up at a high position, committed violent fouls against him like a savage who killed pigs.
Durant lay down on the spot.
"Ahh!" Turiav raised his hand and claimed the foul with smugness, "I'll kill him!"
Durant glared at him.
Wei Xia also spoke out "dissuasion", "Don't do this, Ronnie!"
Wei Xia often acted on the scene, and Turiav regarded his reaction at that time as part of the performance.
