Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 65: Or maybe there isn’t one

When it was the Sonics’ turn to attack again, Kevin Durant followed suit, started slowly, suddenly went high, and raised his hand to shoot without adjusting while receiving the ball.

Li Wan went up very quickly, not giving him any room to shoot at all.

Seeing this, Kevin Durant drew a “semicircle” with his hands on his chest, and the “three threats” posture “threatened” the space to hold the ball, and a big stride rushed past Li Wan.

Li Wan couldn’t stop his breakthrough, symbolically pulled out a handful from behind, Kevin Durant paid attention to details, Yu Guang glanced at his hand, quickly closed the ball, dodged Li Wan’s claws, he didn’t need to luck again, as long as he took two more steps forward, he could shoot directly under the basket.

No way, a height of 2.11 meters is what you want.

It’s just that he just closed the ball, looked ahead, and found that his face with Odom was less than the length of two palms.

“Phew! ”

There was no way to avoid it, and the two people collided together.

The referee immediately blew the whistle, and Odom stood firmly outside the reasonable collision zone line, so it was Kevin Durant’s offensive foul.

The number of fouls committed by both teams has accumulated to the fifth time, and Odom, under the pull of Li Wan and Fisher, stood up with a smile on his face and gave Li Wan another high five.

Fisher:???

Kevin Durant frowned. An offensive foul and he wasn’t worried. His fear was that it would have been the worst thing to have happened if Odom had known in advance that he would have broken through with the ball at that time.

That means the Lakers have seen through his path.

But when Kobe Bryant defended him just now, the Lakers did not arrange such a defense.

All this change came after Li Wan came on the field, that is…

Kevin Durant thought of the previous round at this time, and Li Wan blocked the position several times to prevent him from receiving the ball smoothly in the high position.

Could it be that his high-position ball holding strategy was seen through by him?

Odom scored both free throws to bring the difference to five points.

Kevin Durant walked quietly to the front court, and when Earl Watson passed the half, when he ran as usual, he paid special attention to Li Wan behind him, and he found that whenever he moved to the long two areas, the Chinese newcomer always observed the position of the ball for the first time, obviously judging the path of the ball and wanting to destroy his catch.

It seems that I have indeed studied my catching habits!

Kevin Durant is now completely sure.

He immediately changed the rhythm of his run without the ball, first pretending to stop nonchalantly, and then suddenly walking towards the right three-point line, catching the ball and shooting, much faster than usual.

Li Wan failed to catch up with the ball, but Kevin Durant shot too quickly, and the ball “clanged” on the basket, “iron” one.

“Pungyanlang, don’t worry, the more anxious you are, the more you can’t enter! ”

Three times in a row, Li Wan opened his mouth to stimulate Kevin Durant.

He didn’t forget that this guy’s gaze was provocative before the game.

“If I were your coach, you would be sitting on the bench by now! ”

Kevin Durant was powerless to fight back.

Li Wan still refused to let him go: “What’s wrong?” Are you planning to save the words for a post-game tweet? ”

Kevin Durant almost stumbled, but he already did. In the topic of him and Li Wan, he said a lot for himself. It’s just that the trumpet is used.

On the Lakers’ side, Kobe Bryant scored with the ball, and the first quarter ended with Watson’s ultra-long-range three-point miss.

Phil Jackson stood contented on the sidelines and gave him high fives one by one. Replacing Li Wan, the Lakers’ rhythm not only did not have problems, but also opened the point difference to 7 points. Kevin Durant also made three shots after Li Wan came on the court, and he didn’t hit any of them.

Although Li Wan only scored 2 points and 1 assist during this time. But his performance in these few minutes was impeccable. There are some players whose many roles will not be reflected in the data, and Li Wan is undoubtedly such a player.

Kevin Durant went off the court with his teammates, and since the end of the first quarter, his head has been low, almost buried in his chest, allowing sweat to run down his cheeks, and he has not reached out to wipe it.

After sitting on his bench, he covered his hair with a towel, shrouding his entire face in darkness, and motionless with his hands on his knees.

P-J Calesimo, who was setting up tactics, noticed the situation, pulled the assistant coach and said two words, conveyed his meaning, and asked him to continue to assign tasks to everyone, while he walked up to Kevin Durant, kept a distance, and tentatively shouted: “Kevin? ”

Seeing that he didn’t react, P-J. Calesimo took a step back more cautiously: “Kevin? ”

“Huh? ”

This time Kevin Durant finally reacted, pulling off the towel above his head, revealing a dumbfounded face and godless eyes.

P-J. Calesimo took another step back when he looked up, and was relieved to see him like this, fortunately, he was just stunned and did not lose his mind.

He immediately smiled kindly and sat down next to Kevin Durant. In the absence of danger, he is willing to act as the “loving father” of the players.

“Man, you’ve just entered the league, it’s normal, and you’ll get used to it slowly. ”

Calesimo can also understand that this game is only the first quarter, he first let Kobe Bryant’s life on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of the life can not take care of himself, and now meet his rookie in the same class, and let the opponent defend three times in a row. Kevin Durant is sure to have a strong sense of frustration.

At that time, he also saw what Li Wan said to Kevin Durant, which should be the reason why Kevin Durant will hang his head.

Calesimo wanted to say something at that time, but from the media report, it seems that the rookie has a bad temper, even if he sprays the players, the coach sprays, this is a sign of the next “madman”, for such people, Calesimo has always been respectful.

“Every player has this process, whether it’s Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, they’ve all gone through this period! ”

“You’re playing well, NBA rookies who can average 20 points per game from the start of the season, and that’s the guy for decades. You’re a lot better than you think! ”

Kevin Durant’s waist gradually straightened in his words.

Calesimo, who noticed this change, continued to speak: “I believe you will definitely have a way, I talked to coach Rick Barnes, he told me that only the sky is your limit!” ”

Coach Rick?

Hearing this name, Kevin Durant’s expression rejuvenated, this is his mentor in college, if he did not allow himself unlimited fire rights, he could fight as much as he wanted, then there would be no current Kevin Durant!

Hearing that Calesimo had talked to Rick Barnes, he suddenly felt that the chubby old man with small round eyes in front of him was much kinder.

“I know what to do, thank you coach! ”

Kevin Durant is resurrected in full blood!

After about 2 minutes in the second quarter, Calesimo replaced him.

Mike Conley, who has been watching Kevin Durant, opened a sandwich at this time, and after the first quarter of the game, Kevin Durant’s performance showed him that he was hungry and had already eaten a sandwich, and now seeing him play, Mike Conley wanted to eat another one. No way, his performance is too cooking.

The Lakers saw Kevin Durant on the court and immediately replaced Wharton with Li Wan. He defended Kevin Durant so well, Phil Jackson simply followed the opposite side to make a substitution, and when Kevin Durant played, he let Li Wan play.

This time on the field is the turn of the Supersonics.

Li Wan still defended Kevin Durant in the original way, and when he saw him walking towards the high position, he grabbed the position in advance, but at this time Kevin Durant changed his running position, received the ball outside the three-point line, and hit a shot.

Before he was on the court, the Lakers bench rotation opened up some more points, reaching 9 points, and it was going to double digits, so the Seattle Center Stadium was a little dull, as if it was the weather before a thunderstorm, and there was a breath in the hearts of Seattleites.

With this three-point hit, the dullness was swept away.

“How is this ball? ”

Kevin Durant finally found an opportunity.

Is this a change in the style of play?

The sudden three-point shot was something Li Wan did not expect. In Kevin Durant’s shooting percentage, three-point shooting is not his main scoring method, and the proportion may not even be 5%.

In addition to his three-point range but instability, his ball stride through the layup is also a better opportunity to create a surprise layup from a high post, and if he launches a surprise attack from outside the three-point line, the inside line is easy to react.

In this regard, Li Wan shook his head slightly.

This is unplanned scoring, with Kevin Durant’s ability, some points are what he should take, at least in the defensive strategy developed by Li Wan before the game, there is no idea of changing the style of play and not grabbing the high position because the opponent shot two three-pointers.

Kevin Durant’s three-point shooting percentage so far is only 28.8%, which is not a small sample in six preseason games and five in the regular season.

Today Kevin Durant really wanted a three-pointer, shooting 5 of 5, and he recognized it.

Detailed data analysis is not deceptive, and Li Wan is also absolutely confident in his defensive strategy.

Moreover, Kevin Durant can soar three points, and he can also fly three points.

While walking towards the front court, his eyes met Kobe, and he immediately changed his position, moved to the top of the arc with the ball, and gave up the flank to Li Wan.

This way, he is better able to make moves without the ball.

In these two games, Li Wan can feel that Kobe’s careful eyes did not attack on the court, of course, he also knows, provided that his own performance can always be brilliant, otherwise, Kobe will definitely not be so cooperative.

Noticing Li Wan’s increased frequency of moving without the ball, Kevin Durant immediately became nervous, Li Wan relied on the “nerve knife” to make a name for himself in the league, and his three-point catch gradually began to be feared by other teams.

Among them are the Supersonics.

Kevin Durant clearly remembers Calesimo saying yesterday that when Lee Wan’s off-ball movement increases, that’s when he’s ready to put more on the offensive end.

That’s now!

Kevin Durant followed suit, but Kobe Bryant’s sudden sideways blocked in front of him.

After bypassing Kobe, Li Wan, who received the ball “hand-in-hand”, took the ball and wanted to shoot, and Kevin Durant was out of reach, and could only watch him shoot.

“Ugh! ”

Li Wan successfully responded with 3 points!

The Lakers teammates on the bench stood up and waved towels.

The difference is back to 9 points!

“Beautiful! ”

Mike Conley took a hard bite of his sandwich and shouted vaguely out in his mouth. This three-point response was really relieved, just now he thought that Li Wan would also suffer the same grievances as him, but he didn’t expect that in the next round, Li Wan responded!

“Go on, Leaderliner Show, go ahead with your three points! ”

Call~

In!

Breathe out in my heart.

Li Wan opened his mouth to provoke Kevin Durant.

Swinging his arm like a bamboo pole, Kevin Durant moved according to tactics with an expressionless face, but he couldn’t help but say in his heart: Do you want to cast another one? Do you want to vote for another one?

Li Wan is so provocative, how can Kevin Durant, who is extremely confident in his scoring ability, endure?

The winning and losing heart of the response gradually took over, and once again moved beyond the three-point line, the SuperSonics quickly shifted the ball, he went beyond the three-point line, and the ball also reached his hand.

These people on the court of the SuperSonics have good passing ability, and the purpose is to serve Kevin Durant, ensuring that he moves out of the open space and gets the ball to his hand as soon as he moves.

Jump high and throw it with your hands up.

The ball went straight through the basket.

“Another three-pointer! ”

“From, Kevin Wenwen, Dudu Durant! ”

The audience that had just been lit was once again shouted and cheered, as loud as the roar of a bomber, as if a grenade was flying all over the sky and exploded in unison!

At this moment, the Seattle Arena finally had more than 16,000 people on the scene.

“Here it is again, this pervert! ”

Mike Conley gritted his teeth secretly, Kevin Durant’s offensive talent is really the best among all the people he has seen in the class of ’07, and this point, even if he feels aggrieved, he has to admit it.

Can you still fight back?

Mike Conley looked at Li Wan who flashed on the TV screen in the camera switch, and whispered his lips dipped in sandwich salad dressing.

It should be, right?

He can be the man who can face Allen Iverson!

“Ugh! ”

“wow！ ”

Watching Li Wan as he thought, holding the ball to the basket to complete the score, Mike Conley jumped up as if his butt was on fire, shouted, and looked excited.

Too strong!

He’s a college teammate now!

Although he has already confronted Allen Iverson, there is a precedent.

But at this moment, watching Li Wan continuously respond to Kevin Durant, Mike Conley sighed and shook his head unconsciously.

Is he really that strong?

“It’s starting again! ”

Phil Jackson and Phil Handy looked at each other, and it was not the first time they saw Li Wan facing each other on the sidelines, but they still couldn’t help but be excited.

Now, whether Li Wan’s “nerve knife” attribute has a seizure has become one of the things they look forward to most every night they have a game.

Or maybe there isn’t one.

Get up early and ask for recommendation tickets!!!
