This small forward with the height of a center, guard speed and shooting ability averaged 20.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in his rookie season.
Overwhelmed the No. 1 pick Oden throughout the rookie season, and finally won the best rookie without any suspense.
In particular, Oden suffered a serious injury in his rookie season and was reimbursed early in the season. After that, the Trail Blazers who missed Durant regretted it.
In the 2007 NBA Draft, the Thunder selected the athletic Jeff Green with the No. 5 pick in the first round.
Although he is not as good as Durant’s performance, it is still enough to serve as the team’s starting power forward.
In the rookie season, he averaged 10.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, and this season he has averaged 16.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1 steal per game.
However, the Thunder still selected the Turtle Westbrook from the UCLA Bruins with the No. 5 pick in the first round of this year’s NBA Draft.
only.
This excellent point guard with great physical fitness but easy to be impulsive is still playing as a substitute for the Thunder.
In the words of the Thunder team management and head coach Carlesimo, it is to grind his temper.
These are the three talented young talents selected for two consecutive years, and are also called the Thunder’s Three Young Talents by many media.
Of course.
If they don’t trade away Ibaka, the No. 24 rookie selected by the team in the first round this year, it will be the Thunder’s four.
without any exaggeration.
The currently rebuilding Thunder team is definitely one of the most talented teams in the NBA.
Last year’s best rookie Durant has been able to average 26.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game this season.
This kind of extremely fast growth and the realization of terrifying talent make other rebuilding teams extremely envious.
The outside media even claimed that Durant is already the best rookie after James.
But the crazy Knicks expressed dissatisfaction, and the backhand was Shen Lang’s various explosive performances and video highlights.
Although Curry also performed very well, his talent is still not favored by the outside world.
Therefore, Shen Lang, who has been firmly at the top of the rookie rankings this season, has also been compared by the media and fans who are doing things.
Shen Lang was not very interested in this boring comparison.
He knew that Durant, an upright boy, would be really good in the future, but now he was just a second-year rookie.
As for the gimmicks hyped by the media, it was said that the two of them were lifelong enemies.
When Curry, Lowry and others mentioned this statement, Shen Lang just shrugged and laughed.
This is not to deny Durant’s rapid rise in strength, but he feels that it is impossible for the two to become the so-called lifelong enemies.
In the Olympic arena, Shen Lang, with so many all-stars and even superstars in the Dream Eight team, can play an unstoppable crazy performance.
And when he came to the NBA, the superstars he defeated and crushed already included Wade and Duncan, two of the top five superstars in the league.
His goal is not to compete with rookies, but to compete with superstars such as James, Wade, Duncan, Howard, Paul and even Kobe. Defeat the most outstanding superstars in the NBA right now and rush to the throne of the league’s first man.
Afterwards, Shen Lang’s goal is to lead his team to win as many championships as possible and surpass the best Jordan in NBA history! However-
Shen Lang didn’t put Durant in the scope of competition for his lifelong enemy, but this honest guy didn’t think so.
Durant, who has a low self-esteem and a sensitive heart, is extremely eager for the outside world to recognize him.
Even if Heizi sprays him, this guy will still smash it.
Madison Square Garden Arena.
In the pre-match interview, Durant seemed confident in defeating Shen Lang.
“We’re one of the most talented teams in the NBA and we just need to give it some time to play well.”
“Yes, our lineup is very young, but who stipulates that rookies can’t lead the team to rise quickly?”
“We had some problems in the running-in at the beginning, which led to an unsatisfactory record.”
“But I firmly believe that I can lead this young team to play the best performance and beat any opponent.”
“What? The Knicks started with an 8-game winning streak? It can only be said that their running-in is better than ours, and it does not mean that their strength is better than ours!”
“Shen Lang, Stephen Curry and Serge Ibaka did really well.”
“But today I will lead the team, take away the victory from their home court, and end their 8-game winning streak!”
…ask for flowers…
“The outside world thinks that Shen Lang and I are lifelong enemies, but I don’t think so.”
“He’s just a rookie, I’ve been in the NBA for a year!”
“Before I have played against him, I don’t think he is enough to be called my lifelong enemy.”
“So I’m sorry for the outside world’s statement, but I don’t agree with it!”
This straightforward guy with low EQ really said whatever came to his mind.
He didn’t give face at all, and he didn’t show any subtle and euphemistic expressions.
All that was missing was the words that Shen Lang was not as good as him written on his face, no loss of being a temperamental man Du Xiaoshuai.
20 o’clock in the evening.
The auditorium is full!
The well-developed New York media before the game defined this focus battleFight for talent.
Both teams are young teams of rookies and weak teams in rebuilding. only.
Shen Lang led the Knicks to an 8-game winning streak, while Durant led the Thunder to only 1 win and 7 losses.
The rising performance of the two teams in the new season is completely different.
This made Durant, who has a strong self-esteem, even more eager to beat Shen Lang and the Knicks.
Then prove to the outside world that Durant is the best player in the rookie.
on the pitch.
The referee’s whistle sounded.
“Ji Bi Jie Bi Jie Bi! I”
The starting lineups of the two teams debuted.
Thunder: Earl Watson, Jeff Green, Durant, Nick Collison, Robert Swift
Knicks: Lowry, Curry, Tony Allen, Ibaka, Shen Lang
The Thunder sent a high-level lineup, and also allowed the impulsive Turtle Westbrook to continue to substitute.
Except for veteran Earl Watson who is only 1.85 meters, the minimum height of other Thunder starting players is 2.06 meters. The Knicks are not afraid of height on the inside, but they have a height disadvantage on the outside.
Especially Curry and Tony Allen, both are just over 1.9 meters.
Facing Jeff Green, who is athletic and 2.06 meters tall, and Durant, who is actually 2 meters tall.
They will face huge challenges, and they may even be blown up.
However, in terms of interior talent, the Knicks crushed the Thunder.
Shen Lang and Thunder center Robert Swift’s jump ball.
He still has a little understanding of this muscular white man with two big flower tattoos on his arms.
Robert Swift was selected with the 12th pick in the first round of the 2004 NBA Draft by the then-Sonics. With a height of seven feet and a long wingspan, he plays fiercely and aggressively.
With outstanding athletic talent, he is known as “the last hope of the white center in M ​​country”!
only.
This is another talented big man who has been ruined by frequent knee injuries, especially a torn ACL.
Even in his peak period, he was far behind Shen Lang, who had exploded talent.
This guy had just jumped with all his strength, and Shen Lang had already ejected into the air.
“Snapped!”
Shen Lang easily won the jump ball.
The basketball is returned to Lowry’s hands.
Knicks possession of the ball.

The game officially started.
Facing veteran Earl Watson’s defense, Lowry easily dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.
Whether it is age or strong physical confrontation, he has enough advantages.
only.
If it’s the tortoise on the bench, Lowry’s physical fitness is far worse.
The Knicks’ offense is simple.
Either Curry, who mainly plays the outside line, cooperates with tactics through screen pick-and-rolls.
This is the running and bombing style that the team’s head coach Mustache D’Antoni was best at when he was in the Suns.
Whether it is Shen Lang or Ibaka who puts up the high position, the two defenders, Lowry or Curry, cover the screen and cooperate.
Immediately afterwards.
It is that Curry or Lowry seizes the opportunity of a breakthrough or a three-point shot and makes a decisive shot.
Anyway, the Knicks’ inside rebounding season was only two or three, making them the top three in the league.
And the combination of Shen Lang and Ibaka’s inside line even brought down the most offensive rebounds in the NBA.
