Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Adelman looked at the situation on the court and remained silent.

There are people on the court, players running back and forth quickly, muscles clashing, and sweat flying away.

The intensity of this game was even more exaggerated than imagined. Paul, the disciple he had coached, was holding his breath throughout the game, with rage surging in his eyes, as if he was about to burn the home court to ashes.

This game... is not easy to win...

The basketball bounced up and down on the edge of the court. The "dong dong" sound was silent because the scene was filled with noisy players' exchanges. Paul stood in the backcourt, waiting for his teammates to serve. After a while, Durant picked up the basketball and passed it.

Paul came over, shook his head to catch the ball, and then let this weirdly tall guy run past him.

Looking at Durant's back, Paul's face flashed with an imperceptible strange look.

During his time with the Thunder, Paul had a lot of contact with Durant.

It must be admitted that Durant is a natural attacker with talent comparable to that of Lien Forward. Some people even say that his talent is better than that of Lien Forward. Of course, Durant's height and wingspan are better, but Lien Forward's speed and explosive power

However, the talent is not comparable to that of Durant. In terms of talent, Paul thinks the two are just about the same.

Compared to Lian Feng, Durant is not that easy to get along with.

The feeling Durant gave Paul was...cold-blooded.

This kind of cold-bloodedness does not mean the kind of cold-bloodedness that makes a winning goal on the court, but the kind of cold-bloodedness that treats emotions. In short, it is difficult for anyone to really get into his heart. It is not known whether he treats women like this.

Treating brothers... Paul had a hunch that it would be difficult for this guy to have a real "brother".

But these comments do not affect Paul's admiration for Durant's offensive ability.

At this time, Durant has not yet entered the ranks of superstars, and his skills have not yet reached the ceiling he can reach.

He has been able to use his body to protect the ball to create shooting opportunities. He is extremely smart in running without the ball. He can make various cuts and runs, adjust after receiving the ball and take quick shots. He is a model among swingmen in the league. He even plays from outside the three-point line.

In the past month, he shot 48% from the field and was two points long. Except for the left side of the free throw line and the bottom line, he was also horrifyingly accurate.

In terms of outside shooting, he has evolved to be beautiful enough. The only thing that still needs to be continuously strengthened is his ability to get inside. His ball-holding skills and the ability to create shooting space in mid-range and short-range will all be tested. What needs to be tempered most is

It's his ability to fight.

But no matter what, this guy is only a second-year freshman, and his performance is already terrifying.

At this time, Paul dribbled to the top of the arc, and Durant came up and made a pick-and-roll.

Strictly speaking, the quality of Durant's pick-and-roll is not very high. But his tactical changes after the pick-and-roll are enough to give everyone in the league a headache.

Whether it's a downswing or an outside cut, it's all too strong.

Paul broke through. He had already scored 6 points in this way. Of course his opponent would not give him a chance this time.

Durant found an opportunity to quickly cut outside.

Paul passes the ball.

Durant stood outside the three-point line and took a shot. His shot point was even level with the basket. His soft touch almost made Jeff Green collapse. He was faster, taller, more dexterous, and as long as

Give him a step and he'll shoot a jumper right over your head.

The goal was scored again.

Paul is very satisfied. Durant's scoring ability is indeed admirable.

The rhythm is good, keep it up.

Paul meticulously maintained the rhythm of the offensive organization, step by step, without any rush.

Westbrook doesn't have many shooting opportunities because his ability without the ball is not good. He needs to hold the ball more, but this is obviously impossible. Paul certainly won't let this rookie steal his limelight. That kid's

He seems to be angry, but it doesn't matter. Occasionally he will get a chance to accept a pass from himself, or steal and push for a fast break. Whenever there is such a chance, he will make an earth-shattering dunk, as if he wants to vent his dissatisfaction.

In contrast, Paul trusts his old teammate, Tyson Chandler, more.

Even in the Thunder, the boxing champion is still so skillful in eating cakes. Only he has such a tacit understanding with himself, and he has captured the Hornets' penalty area time and time again.

Tyson Chandler seems angry too.

Yes, Gasol was once just his substitute, and Ibaka, a pick in the 20s, only appeared in a few block highlights. But with these two rookies, Adelman dared to publicize them in front of the media.

The defense has become stronger.

How could Tyson Chandler not have something in mind?

In this case, let you see, without your own Hornets, what defense is there!

…

Iverson looked up at the scoreboard and saw that the team was already 11 points behind.

This is the home court, and the fans at the scene even began to boo Paul. They seemed to have reason to hate this old player who showed off his power in front of his old club, without thinking that he was also the hero of last season's championship.

Throughout the game, Iverson was silent.

He was in trouble.

Paul, this young point guard, is really a difficult guy.

If it was Allen Iverson a few years ago, he wouldn't feel this way. Because he is faster and more flexible. But now, his speed and explosive power have dropped a lot. He has no advantage against Paul, and the opponent has stronger players.

Body.

Sweat continued to flow from Iverson's forehead. He spent a lot of energy, but he took 11 shots and only hit 2 times.

The second quarter is finally over.

During the halftime break, there was a solemn atmosphere permeating the team.

Adelman calmly analyzed the situation on the court. He glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone was sweating, but there was a fire in their eyes that refused to admit defeat.

Taking a deep breath, Adelman began to adjust the lineup for the second half.

"Listen, we have to make some changes in the second half. It turns out that the lineup in the first half is not going to win us."

In the first half, Adelman tried two formations, one was a balanced offensive lineup with Jeff Green and David West, and the other was pure defense, with Ibaka and Jeff Green starting, but

Neither works well. Under the offensive attack of Paul, Durant, and Westbrook who occasionally dunks, the defense becomes ridiculous.

This is no longer the alliance of 2005.

It has become very difficult to rely on defense to win.

So this time, Adelman decided to take a chance.

"Korver, David West, you two will start the second half!"

Korver in the corner quickly began to take off his clothes.

Then Adelman looked at Gasol and said, "I want you to become Allen's most reliable offensive axis."

Gasol nodded.

Adelman finally set his sights on Iverson: "Remember that game in 2001? You were a passing machine. I hope this game of yours will show the Thunder boys that you are not only capable of attacking.

Talent! We gave up defense, but we made it impossible for them to defend!"

Iverson laughed: "It should have been done a long time ago!"
