The yellow storm in the NBA

Chapter 5, One-on-One with Durant

After Quan Xiao changed his clothes and finished his warm-up exercises, the two of them went to the court to prepare for one-on-one play.

"You are a newcomer, let me kick off first!" Durant gave up the right to kick off to Quan Xiao.

Quan Xiao didn't refuse. He didn't know how far his current level was from these elite players, so it was important for him to take the lead.

After passing the ball to Quan Xiao, Durant retreated to the three-point line and prepared to defend Quan Xiao's attack. Because the two did not understand each other's playing habits and did not know what skills the other had, they could only use the best method to defend Quan Xiao.

Let’s try the usual defensive methods first.

So Durant adopted this method to prevent Quan Xiao from breaking through. It was the first ball anyway, so he had to see what the opponent did before taking corresponding measures.

Looking at Durant who was one meter away from him, Quan Xiao suddenly smiled. It seemed that he wanted to prevent himself from breaking through. Generally speaking, breaking through to the basket in one-on-one situations is an easier way to score points, but for

It's not just that for Quan Xiao, open shots are a big killer.

"Kevin, you're going to be at a disadvantage defending so far away from me." After saying this, Quan Xiao suddenly took off and threw the basketball in his hand. Durant was surprised when he saw Quan Xiao take off.

You must know that Quan Xiao is still one step away from the three-point line at this time.

How did he know that Quan Xiao often practices ultra-long three-pointers? This distance may be far for him, but it is a comfortable shooting area for Quan Xiao, especially when it is open. With a "swipe" sound, Quan Xiao's

A three-pointer went into the net and took the lead.

"I forgot to tell you, Kevin, my open shot is very accurate!" After the ball went in, Quan Xiao deliberately teased Durant a little.

"I'm afraid you'll lose miserably, so I'll let you score first so you don't get zero points later." The arrogant Durant was born.

"Haha, is that so? Then I'll thank you first!"

"Stop talking nonsense and continue!"

This time, when Quan Xiao got the ball, Durant did not enter the three-point line in advance, but stayed at a suitable distance, a distance that could both prevent breakthroughs and save three-pointers.

Looking at Durant, who was bending his knees slightly and opening his arms, Quan Xiao suddenly started to move. This time he chose to break through from Durant's right side. At the same time as Quan Xiao broke through, Durant also moved,

He judged Quan Xiao's suddenness correctly.

He broke the line, but underestimated Quan Xiao's speed.

While he was still moving sideways, Quan Xiao had already squeezed past him before completely blocking his path, and then rushed in, then ended the attack with a one-handed chop.

"Kevin, I forgot to tell you, my speed is not slow." Quan Xiao was embarrassed in front of Adu again, and the expression of his expression made Durant want to beat him severely.

A meal.

"Humph, this is just your luck. You won't be so lucky next time. Because Uncle Kevin will have to defend seriously."

Looking at the serious Durant on the opposite side, Quan Xiao began to feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. He knew that he had just caught the opponent off guard and took advantage of the opponent's ignorance of his situation to score two goals.

I am not so arrogant as to think that I can beat Durant just because of these two goals, not to mention that the defensive side is always in a passive position.

Sure enough, as the game progressed, it became increasingly difficult for Quan Xiao to score goals, and Durant also took advantage of Quan Xiao's missed attack to take the initiative and successfully tied the score to 8:5, achieving the goal.

Go ahead.

However, what surprised Durant was that as the game progressed, Quan Xiao's defensive ability improved almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. From the beginning, it was almost full of loopholes, and by the end, it was almost at the elite level of the university.

level.

Little did he know that he was just temporarily unable to adapt to this level of confrontation at the beginning, but as the game progressed, he gradually adapted to the rhythm and confrontation of this game. With his super physical fitness and good defensive awareness, he naturally gave up on the defensive end.

The pressure is mounting on Durant.

Finally, when Durant planned to score two more goals to end the one-on-one duel, under the full interference of Quan Xiao, who had already adapted, Durant missed the shot that was originally a sure shot, and the ball returned to Quan Xiao's hands again.

Next, facing Durant's tight defense, Quan Xiao was completely unable to break through. In desperation, he resorted to back hitting. Yes, although he had practiced back hitting before, he was not considered proficient.

It cannot be regarded as a conventional weapon because it is not stable enough and the hit rate is not guaranteed.

But now, it is impossible to break through Durant's defense from the front, and he is not sure about direct shooting. After all, the opponent is not only taller than himself, but also has a wingspan no less than his, and his bounce is also very good from the back. Even if he cannot break through from the front, he can't.

I can only try the back shot.

Fortunately, he is still stronger than Durant in terms of weight and strength, so

This can be done by leaning against the opponent and advancing into the penalty area little by little. After reaching the basket, he makes a beautiful turn and throws the ball with a slight backward tilt.

Facing the ball, Durant was powerless. Although he jumped up to block the shot, he still missed it a little.

However, Quan Xiao still felt the pressure from the opponent, which made his shot a little unsmooth. Fortunately, the ball bounced up after hitting the rim and finally fell into the rim, allowing Quan Xiao to come back again.

point.

Quan Xiao then followed the same pattern and scored another goal using a back shot, but when he hit the third goal, it missed the target. In the end, Durant seized the opportunity and scored two goals in a row, winning the one-on-one.

"Man, you are still awesome, you won!" Although he lost in the end, Quan Xiao did not feel unwilling or defeated, but congratulated Durant very sincerely.

After all, he didn't necessarily have the idea of ​​winning this game at the beginning, but more wanted to test his current level through this one-on-one challenge, and the final result was generally very satisfying to him.

"Brother, you are also very good. I think Coach Barnes would really like you to join our team." After this game, Durant also recognized Quan Xiao as a person and of course his basketball ability.

.

And he also wants Quan Xiao to join the team. After all, from his perspective, the current Quan Xiao is fully capable of starting the team. The most important thing is that he has seen Quan Xiao's progress in the game.

Yes, just during the game, Quan Xiao made progress that was almost visible to the naked eye, whether it was offense or defense.

What's more, he also learned that this was just Quan Xiao's current strength through training alone without anyone's guidance. If he could get more professional guidance and training, he doesn't know how far he could grow.

?Durant is also looking forward to this.

"Okay, Kevin, I'm going back. I'll leave that to you!" This one-on-one battle took more than half an hour, and now it's time for dinner. Quan Xiao is ready to go back and take a shower to eat.

A meal to replenish the huge consumption just now.

"Ok, it's on me. I'm looking forward to seeing you put on our uniform as soon as possible, and I'm also looking forward to fighting alongside you."

"I'm looking forward to it too. See you tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you here!" Durant agreed.
