Super All-around Point Guard

After Durant made this layup action against Xie Chen, the audience couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. No wonder Durant dared to shout like this, this layup was indeed beautiful.

Su Qun couldn't help but admired: "Durant's layup is really beautiful. It has a bit of Jordan's shadow. I don't know if he is deliberately imitating Jordan. Jordan also has a similar layup action. Facing the defensive player, he takes off on one foot. Holding the ball with one hand in your right hand, when the opponent blocks the shot, take the ball behind your head, wait for the opponent to fall, then safely take the ball to the basket and then gently pick it, put the basketball in, and the basketball will move with extreme force. He touches the basket and net in a gentle way, and the whole picture looks extremely beautiful. Although Durant is not as good as Jordan in staying in the air, Durant has a slender body and longer arms than Jordan, and his action of picking the basket It’s bigger and better looking, not to mention that we are facing the defense of Xie Chen, the best defensive player in the league!”

Yu Jia also said: "Indeed, this ball is both difficult and artistic. Even if Xie Chen is stuck in the air, he will not lose to Durant, and he will not lose to Durant in physical combat. But facing a long-armed monster like Durant, There’s no way to complete the shot.”

Durant succeeded in beating Xie Chen in a single, and he scored with such a graceful gesture, which made many Durant and Warriors fans who had hated Xie Chen for two years collectively climax!

"Haha, Durant's single shot against Xie Chen was so cool, it was a joke! Especially when he moved the ball back in the air and avoided Xie Chen's block, it was so cool! I didn't expect that Xie Chen was also in the background. when!"

"With Durant's height and arm length, it is very easy to beat Xie Chen alone. He can score in many ways. If he scores in this way, he belongs to the Jiaozuo series. Durant is in Xie Chen's league." Show me in front of you what a difficult layup is!"

At the scene, even Michael Jordan looked in awe after seeing it. It can be seen that a player of Durant's stature can show different aesthetics using Jordan's basket-picking action.

Durant also knew that he did a very good job in this layup, so he dared to shout at Xie Chen. He knew that Xie Chen had never shown any artistic performance in layups.

Xie Chen couldn't help but find it funny when he heard that Durant claimed to be possessed by Jordan. He knew what abilities Xie Chen was going to show in this arena today!

It’s Michael Jordan’s layup ability at his peak!

Xie Chen snorted disdainfully: "Just you?"

Durant was furious, why did Xie Chen show such disdain? Even if I am not as good as Jordan, at least I am much better than you!

"This arrogant guy didn't want to do that layup in the air. Since you disdain my ability so much, I will do it again and let fans all over the world judge us. Michael Jordan himself is here today. This, this is God's instruction for me to humiliate you!" Durant has decided that once he has the opportunity, he will immediately use the classic Jordan 1991 mid-air hand change that Xie Chen also imitated.

Jordan faced the Lakers when he changed hands in the air in 1991. In fact, the pick-up shot that Durant imitated just now was also faced by Jordan back then. Today, Durant's opponent is also the Lakers, which makes Durant have to think of himself. When he became Jordan, he would never think that the real Jordan would be in the Lakers!

Durant has already started to provoke, so Xie Chen should also start to respond.

However, during this attack, Xie Chen didn't know if he was a little addicted to shooting three-pointers, and he actually wanted to try shooting three-pointers again.

Seeing Xie Chen once again take a three-point shot, and in the presence of defensive players, Steve Kerr and the Warriors' Green and others believed that this was a sign that Xie Chen was not sure about his own inside offense. .

Xie Chen is not afraid of physical confrontation with the Warriors' inside line because he has LeBron James' layup ability, but this season is different from the previous two seasons. It is difficult for Xie Chen to get fouled so easily, and opponents also know that Xie Chen He has a strong body. In the case of strong confrontation, Xie Chen has limited height after all. It is very difficult to use his body to squeeze the opponent away for a layup. James' layup shooting percentage will be very low in this situation.

Moreover, in the previous series, the Spurs gave the Warriors a good demonstration, which was to cause offensive fouls on Xie Chen. Knowing that Xie Chen rushed fiercely and had strong confrontation, even inside players could be knocked down when he rushed. Just arrange for the players to stand in advance.

The Warriors also have smart players like Ginobili.

"As long as he limits his three-pointers, we can win this game. We don't have to worry too much about his inside offense." Coach Cole said secretly.

There was a bang, and Xie Chen made a three-pointer. Just when Green was about to grab the rebound, Ingram suddenly stepped forward, leaped high and lifted the basketball, and the ball was snatched by Ingram.

Ingram just got the ball, and after discovering that Xie Chen missed a shot, he immediately ran from the three-point line to the basket.

Ingram quickly passed the ball to Xie Chen!

The layup that Xie Chen was going to perform has officially begun!

Xie Chen received a pass from Ingram and drove inside from the left side of the basket.

This dunk is unlikely because Green is right in front of Xie Chen. According to Xie Chen's past style, Xie Chen might use his body to push Green away, or draw a foul or complete a layup.

"Come on!" When Green saw Xie Chen rushing to the basket, he knew that Xie Chen was not afraid of physical confrontation and would confront him head-on. But how could Green be a weak player who dared not confront him? Green also jumped up quickly and was ready to confront Xie Chen. Of course, the coach had told him not to make any obvious fouls. With Xie Chen's layup shooting rate, he would not score easily in the confrontation. .

Xie Chen also jumped up and faced Dream Chasing Green in the air. He did not go straight towards Green's body. Instead, he avoided Green's defense in the air, slid past the left side of Green's body, and attacked again. To the basket!

"What?" Green was suddenly startled in the air. Xie Chen had already glided behind him in an instant. He turned his head and looked back in the air, his eyes full of doubts. Don't you plan to force yourself this time? Is this going to be an action in the air?

"It's like looking for a hat!" After Green was surprised, he immediately showed disdain.

Green has also been taught Xie Chen's mid-air dodge and maneuver for layups. He did it in his first season. In fact, it's not that great. He may be able to evade one person's defense, but he can't evade the second or third player. In terms of personal defense, Green believes that Xie Chen's ball will be blocked by Pachulia.

Xie Chen avoided Dream Chaser Green in the air and continued to glide to Pachulia's defensive area. He glanced at Pachulia's defense with his peripheral vision and found that the opponent did not extend his big palm to interfere. Glided to the right side of the basket for an easy pull-up layup.

"Oh, beautiful! This pull-up layup is very cool." Yu Jia praised. He vaguely felt that Xie Chen's layup was different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Su Qun also laughed and said: "This is a response to Durant's layup. However, Xie Chen's layup ended up being faced by Pachulia. If it were anyone else, he might have been blocked, but it's quite good." dangerous."

Xie Chen showed Jordan's ability again. Everyone noticed the improvement in Xie Chen's beauty when he layup, but still did not realize the change in Xie Chen's layup level. The most important reason was Pachulia's defense. He did not give Xie Chen a good layup. Create too much trouble in the morning.

Chasing Dream Green did not see his teammates block Xie Chen's layup, but let Xie Chen perform successfully. Green was very angry and did not have a good look towards his teammates. He said to Pachulia: "You should jump up and block the ball." He, we can’t let him get to the layup so easily!”

Although he is the big center of the Warriors, among the main players of the Warriors, only point guard Stephen Curry averages fewer blocks per game than Pachulia. Pachulia does not even average half a block per game. If you want to look forward to it He made a big block in the first quarter, which is obviously unrealistic.

Many fans admit that Xie Chen's pull-up layup is indeed beautiful, but they also think that this is because Pachulia cannot block shots. If the person standing under the basket is Tristan Thompson or his good brother Da Baibian If so, then Xie Chen would definitely show up.

Durant was also very unhappy after seeing it, and thought to himself: "What is this guy proud of? Is completing a pull-up layup under Pachulia's defense worth showing off? Doesn't he know that I am the Warriors' shot-blocking champion?! If I had been there just now, I would have nailed your basketball to the backboard!"

After Durant joined the Warriors, he not only scored extremely efficiently, but his defensive statistics also improved significantly, including rebounds and steals, which were higher than last season with the Thunder. Especially blocks, which averaged 1.2 blocks per game from last year. , directly increased to an average of 1.7 blocks per game!

He does have the qualifications to make such bold statements! But he did underestimate Xie Chen's layup ability.

"I vaguely felt there was a change in Xie Chen." Michael Jordan's expression suddenly became serious after seeing Xie Chen complete this layup. He had a hunch that Xie Chen's offense would become even crazier next.

However, before Xie Chen went crazy, Durant went crazy first. He wanted to perform one of Jordan's most classic layups in front of Jordan!

Durant and Green were in a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Durant first passed the ball to Green, and then Green quickly passed it back to Durant. Durant had already gone straight to the basket!

Durant jumped high and caught the Lakers off guard. It seemed that this ball would be difficult to prevent Durant from scoring.

"Durant is going to dunk!" Many people looked at Durant's posture and thought he was going to dunk with one hand.

Of course he can do this, but no matter how powerful the dunk is, it will not anger Xie Chen. Durant will use this opportunity to perform a move that Xie Chen once performed.

Hand layup in the air!

I saw Durant's right hand holding the ball in the air suddenly turning the ball to his left hand!

This action shocked everyone at the scene except the members of the superstar viewing group and Green and other informed teammates!

"What does he want to do?!" At this second, no one could guess Durant.

After switching to his left hand, Durant's time in the air had reached its limit and he quickly threw the ball up with his left hand.

"It has to go in!" Durant has practiced a lot in the past few days. This time he has done a good job of changing hands in the air. It just depends on whether the ball can go up in the end.

Without the interference of defensive players, the success rate is still very high, and the basketball quickly slides into the basket.

"Oh, what did I see! Kevin Durant actually imitated Michael Jordan's mid-air layup!"

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, and Jordan was also shocked. He never expected that Durant would imitate his action on the stage of the Western Conference Finals.

"This is not an easy challenge. Kevin Durant is still very courageous." The camera began to focus on Jordan, and Jordan also smiled. He was naturally happy to have juniors pay tribute to him, but Jordan did not show any That look of wonder and disbelief meant that the action imitated by Durant was still far from Jordan's original version.

But when something like feelings emerges in a flash, it can wash away and cover up many bad things. Just like when Xie Chen imitated this change of hands in the air, it was worse than Durant, but that action is still the same at the moment. It caused many fans to cheer and admire. After watching the slow-motion comparison with Jordan, they realized that the gap was huge.

Therefore, one can imagine the mood of Durant and his Warriors teammates at this moment.

Green was the first to rush up and high-five Durant excitedly, and spoke very loudly, fearing that Xie Chen wouldn't hear, and said: "KD, your mid-air layup is comparable to Jordan's, much better than what someone did in the past. Got it!"

Durant also looked at Xie Chen with a look of contempt. He knew that his action was not as beautiful as the original version, but compared to Xie Chen, it was still a definite win.

Yu Jia and Su Qun also praised it repeatedly. Su Qun said: "Xie Chen also imitated this hand layup in the air. It is very difficult. It is even more difficult to have that kind of beauty and artistry. Durant has not done it either." , especially the last layup, gave people a very forced feeling, but Durant's imitation was much better than Xie Chen's. Xie Chen's was not done well from the beginning, and the change of hands was too hasty. , after watching it a few times, you can clearly see that Xie Chen was going to change hands and had no intention of dunking, but Durant did it. Just now, when Durant ran towards the basket with the ball in one hand, I really thought he was going to dunk, but it turned out to be a layup. Durant did this in front of Xie Chen, probably to tell Xie Chen that he is better than Xie Chen in this aspect."

Many people think that Durant's actions that Xie Chen also did were a provocation and humiliation to Xie Chen. Because the two people's actions are exactly the same, fans will definitely compare them together. Obviously, this time Durant won.

However, what no one expected was that Xie Chen did not show an embarrassed expression on his face, but smiled...

"Xie actually laughed?" Everyone was confused for a while.

Xie Chen also instantly understood why Hassan Whiteside told him not to be too anxious to use his ultimate ability. It turned out that he wanted Durant to make the first move and then slap him in the face.

"Compared with me for a layup in the air? Haha."
