Basketball: I'm really a center

First quarter.

If the first half was a one-sided suppression of Westbrook by Su Bai, then the second half was an offensive duel between Su Bai and Durant.

Suns (27): (25) Thunder.

Su Bai scored 13 points in a single quarter, and Durant also scored 8 points in a single quarter. However, the overall strength of the Thunder was still stronger. After one quarter, the score difference was only 2 points.

"Hi"

"Facing the Thunder's"three youngsters", Su Bai was calm and composed, scoring 13 points in a single quarter, playing better data than Durant, and strangling Westbrook's offense. Su Bai was calmer and stronger than I thought."

CCTV studio.

Wang Meng sincerely praised

"Hi!"

Coach Zhang also said with a smile:"Of course, Su Bai is the savior of our great Chinese basketball world. He plays better than Durant, so it's natural."

""Haha!"

Wang Meng joked with a smile,"Coach Zhang, are you bragging now?"......

The West Coast Arena.

The intermission.

Su Bai's perfect performance as always won praise from the fans in the audience. They all sighed that this center from China is so strong that there is no limit.

In the 10th row, historical superstars,"The Dream" Olajuwon and"Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also came to watch the game tonight. They watched the first quarter of Su Bai and Durant's confrontation and were also deeply moved.

"The league is no longer the"center" era we had back then!"

Olajuwon said with emotion

"Um"

"Since the era of the"four major shooting guards" of Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, the era of the"center" has almost disappeared. Players' offense is getting closer and closer to the outside line. Now the league is rapidly entering the small ball era."

Jabbar said

"That's what he said."

Olajuwon hesitated, touched his chin, and then said:"It is indeed the era of small ball, but......Tonight, Su Bai and Durant's outside attack is full of characteristics."

"Oh?"

Jabbar blinked, slightly puzzled by his words.

"Height!"

Olajuwon smiled and said,"Durant's official height is 206 cm, but he is actually 211 cm, which is completely the height of an inside player. Su Bai is 215 cm, not to mention.

They should have been attacking inside, attacking as centers, but they were jumping shots from the outside, shaking people and breaking through. This is really unbelievable, but it fits the times so well!"

"Yes."

Jabbar nodded and said with a smile,"Times are always changing, and people are waiting for people to change them. I think......That person will appear soon."

The older generation of historical superstars talked with emotion.

On the court.

The second quarter started.

First, the substitutes competed.

On the Thunder side, Harden officially led the team, and the Suns' rookie Paul George also got playing time, but......In terms of offensive ability,

Harden is now more than twice as strong as George.

In his second year as a rookie, Harden had a good finishing ability when facing opponents one-on-one, while George's offensive efficiency was still not high under NBA-level defense.

However, on the defensive end, George is very active.

This is one of the reasons why Gentry values him.

George's physical talent allows him to rely on excellent defense to give opponents enough force and contribute to the team even if he is slightly weak on the offensive end.

When the team is not short of offensive points, every team is eager to have this kind of defensive player.

5 minutes and 13 seconds of rotation.

Harden led the team to win 3 points, helping the Thunder to make up for the 2-point difference and overtake by 1 point.

"Beep-beep!"

Gentry called a timeout and replaced the starters who had rested enough. The Thunder also replaced the starters.

The Suns had the ball.

Nash held the ball at the top of the arc, feinted on the left wing, successfully attracted the defense, and passed the ball back to Su Bai at the top of the arc. The latter received the ball and broke through in one step, making a quick stop jump shot.

""Swish!" Jeff Green made no mistake in his defense, but he was completely overwhelmed by his talent. He had no way to stop him.

In the next attack , Nash broke through and passed the ball to Su Bai, then attacked Jeff Green and used his talent to overwhelm him. But this time, Sofolosha came to assist. Double-teamed him.

"Wow!"

Su Bai didn't hesitate at all and passed the ball to Curry in the low post on the left.

""Swish!" The open mid-range shot was made. In the next round,

Su Bai cut to the free throw line, attacked with the ball, accelerated on the right wing, shook off Jeff Green in one step, but ran into Westbrook's defense head-on.

""Wow!"

Without slowing down, he turned around and got rid of Westbrook like a silky smooth. Facing the basket, he made a small floater, waiting for Ibaka to block it.

But Su Bai was tall enough, and the floater was high enough to avoid the block.

""Shua!"

Hit again

"Whoosh!"

Westbrook rushed forward and rushed to the free throw line. Curry moved sideways to defend. Westbrook suddenly jumped up and took a"zombie jump shot".

""Bang!"

No

""Bang!"

Su Bai jumped up and almost grabbed the rebound over Ibaka's head, and then made a long pass like a magic cannon, accurately finding Curry in the frontcourt.

"Wow!"

Catch the ball and shoot a 3-pointer.

""Shua!"

Hollow hit

"nice shot!"

""What a good match!"

Coach Gentry couldn't help but yelled on the bench, completely satisfied with the match between Su Bai and Curry.

After returning to the starting lineup,

Su Bai had 1 attack, 2 passes, and 1 rebound, connecting with Curry and launching an 11-0 offensive wave, giving the Thunder a head start and instantly taking control of the court.

"Boom!"

The atmosphere at home became even more heated during this 11-0 run. The fierce cheers severely impacted the mentality of the Thunder team and caused them great disturbance.

"My god, this posture......Could it be that the Suns are really going to defeat the Thunder? Could it be that Su Bai can really defeat the Thunder's"Three Young Masters" alone?"

In the CCTV studio,

Wang Meng was shocked.

"Hi!"

"That's how it should be, we should make a concerted effort to defeat the Thunder in one go and let the entire league feel the absolute dominance of our great Chinese super center."

Coach Zhang also became excited.

""Tsk!"

On the court, Durant's eyes turned cold, and his already dark skin became even darker. Amid the boos of the home Suns fans, he slowly pushed the ball over.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Facing Carter.

Lowering the center of gravity, accelerating to get rid of, rushing into the basket, holding the ball and jumping up, setting fire to the sky

"Boom!"

A slam dunk!

""Roar!"

Durant roared after landing on the ground, as if to tell the Suns fans that victory is not so easy to get, but his spirit did not last.

""Boom!"

In the counterattack, Su Bai made a one-stop attack, using the same method as Durant, tearing through Jeff Green's defense, rushing into the basket, and slamming the ball back with a dunk.

But this time, Su Bai was faster, jumped higher, and had a stronger burst, and the visual effect was even stronger!

"Wow!"

Wang Meng's eyes widened and he smacked his lips,"Really? Such a swift attack, Su Bai is......"Bigger"Durant!"
