Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Before the game, CCTV anchors seemed to be in high spirits.

Su Qun sat happily on the broadcast table. This season, he finally had more opportunities to commentate on the Knicks' games. He finally no longer had to envy that guy Yang Yi, and tonight was still the battle for the scoring champion that attracted much attention.

Su Qun moves his wrists and ankles. He must perform well tonight!

"Teacher Su, tonight is the first direct collision between the best rookie in 2007 and the best rookie in 2009. The two are also ranked in the top two in the scoring list. They can be said to be in good shape at the moment."

"What do you think of the game tonight?"

"Of course I am looking forward to it!" Su Qun did not hesitate: "This game can be seen as a duel between Durant and Zuo Li. The scores of the two are there. If both sides want to win, they must watch the two.

It’s about people’s performance.”

"Yes, these two people can be regarded as rising stars in the league. This can also be seen that the league's upgrading has begun again. A new generation replaces the old ones. Both teams are full of rookies, basically all newcomers in the past three or four years.

It can be said that this is also a youth showdown." Yu Jia echoed.

The meaning of the two is also very clear. The newcomer is in charge of this game, and if you want to win, you must play the role of Zuo Li and Durant. Maybe there will be a good show of Zuo Li and James' head-on confrontation in the first few games at the beginning.

!

At this time, the two sides gave the first starting point:

Thunder: Ibaka, Jeff Green, Durant, Westbrook, Sefolosha.

Knicks: Zuo Li, Randolph, Chandler, Danny Green, Dragic.

Curry did not start, and the three players on the outside were all relatively strong defensively and also had height. From this, it seemed that Zuo Li was the main player.

That's right, even though Zuo Li doesn't care about it himself, there is a consensus among the Knicks that this is the time for Zuo Li to perform, and they can just take care of it.

No one on the Knicks team will compete with Zuo Li for the ball.

The Thunder Hotel is a regular starter, and all the rookies in recent years are here. Sitting on the bench is Harden, who is also the future sixth man. The last link of the Thunder's three young players has also received considerable attention at this time, and he plays every game.

There is quite a bit of time.

It's a pity that the Thunder still underestimated this bearded man. Although he may not be a historical star, he is definitely more than a sixth man.

It's just that the protagonist of the opening tonight is not Durant, let alone Harden, but the Thunder's second youngster, Westbrook!

Game start!

Erbaca wanted to break with Zuo Li and jump in a wave. Although he humiliated himself, he still delayed the Knicks' fast break after landing.

The Knicks were forced to fall into position, with the left wing sinking. Dragic dribbled the ball at the top of the arc. Randolph went to the left to attract the defense. The left wing slipped out to receive the ball. Dragic blocked the ball and then cut inside to take away the defense.

Zuo Li caught the ball and hit Ibaka with one move. He took a wrong step and then broke through in an instant. Ibaka failed to follow up, and Zuo Li completed the layup.

After landing, Ibaka looked very upset. This time he didn't even get a chance to confront Zuo Li and was passed by.

"Next time, next time I will be on guard!" Ibaka shouted to his teammates.

But this is destined to be just empty talk. Although Ibaka has an explosive figure, he is like a bodybuilder who learned basketball halfway. The most typical thing is that his coordination and speed are not good, which makes him look cumbersome on the offensive and defensive ends.

He has a good mid-range shooting percentage as a point guard, but his shots are too slow and his preparation time is too long. As a result, he basically has no chance to make a shot except in the open space. He cannot become a mid-range shooter like Boozer. He turns too slowly and cannot spin in circles.

, it also makes him have almost no low-post offensive ability, and he cannot post up like Randolph and Olajuwon. He bounces well, but his bounce speed is very slow, which means that he cannot perfectly eat the pie like Chandler and Stoudemire.

.

On the defensive end, he is underweight, resulting in insufficient confrontation. He has an excellent wingspan, but his selection is too poor. His blocking data is okay, but all relies on his wingspan and jumping height.

In short, he was a mediocre insider in all aspects. If he wanted to beat him, Zuo Li had a hundred ways to do it. He didn't make physical contact just now. It wasn't because he was afraid, it was just Zuo Li's desire to hit him.

But now the fans comment that regardless of this, Ibaka’s status is not enough for them to care about. What they care about is how Durant will respond.

The Knicks obviously know this, so D'Antoni's tactics are very simple, Danny Green, Chandler, double-team Durant!

If you fight, if you're awesome, you'll get in, but if you want to play solo easily, it's impossible!

Durant is also a quickie. When he saw that he was double-teamed, he was directly given to Westbrook, and he wanted Westbrook to pull him, but Westbrook obviously thought wrong.

What Westbrook shouted before the game started was from his heart. He wanted to help Durant win. When Durant passed the ball, he was letting himself do it!

So Westbrook held the ball and went straight to the basket. He didn't slow down at all. He just rushed in and dunked.

Adan looked down on Zuo Li too much. Zuo Li had long known Westbrook's breakthrough route. Compared with Rose, Westbrook was really too honest. His breakthrough was always straight, allowing Zuo Li to find his position effortlessly.

He raised his right arm high and pinned Westbrook down in the air!

Snapped!

Westbrook landed on the ground and was almost overturned by Zuo Li's huge force. The 2-point ball was caught by Zuo Li's long arm. He took the ball with a classic block and then flicked it. Dragic made a layup and scored two more points.

!

"God! This is the first time I've seen someone block Weiss' dunk head-on, and he had to do it from the left!" Barkley shook his head and sighed. This block was so domineering.

"We already have the top five goals tonight," Smith said.

And Westbrook, who was blocked, obviously didn't come back. This ball was bound to be won. He couldn't figure out why he was blocked, but he still blocked it so simply, which made him a little embarrassed.

So Westbrook's blood surged, and as the saying goes, it's the top.

If Westbrook takes the lead, you all know the consequences.

Next round, next next round, next next round, next next round, next next next...stop, stop, enough, the Thunder can't stand it anymore!

For 5 consecutive rounds, Westbrook challenged Zuo Li and gave Zuo Li 3 blocks. He also got 5 hits. The Thunder got a "dream start" of 12-0.

‘Best points’! You still have to look at me, David Westbrook!

"He's too honest." Zuo Li, whose hands were numb after blocking shots, couldn't help complaining to Randolph, this kid must be a fool.

"It seems like I haven't been beaten badly before. I suggest you go to the Lakers." Randolph shook his head. He is young. This kind of performance would have gone to another team eight times ago.

As the main player before the game, Durant didn't even get a shot...

Durant: The clown is me!

Su Qun and Yu Jia looked at each other: What a coincidence. It turns out you are so embarrassed, so I feel relieved.

A timeout ensued, and after that, Durant finally got a chance to take the shot, but his touch was lost in the first few minutes, and the first shot was iron-free. Zuo Li got the rebound and sent out an assist again. The new player Ku

A layup scored two more points.

In less than half a quarter, the game was a bit beaten...
