The yellow storm in the NBA
Chapter Nine, The Raging Longhorn
The first game of the University of Texas attracted a lot of attention. After all, this is a team with super genius Kevin Durant, and the progress and results of the game also proved that Durant is indeed worthy of such a
Attention. Durant scored 30+ points in the first game and led the team to successfully defeat the opponent.
Coach Barnes designed several tactics for Durant at first, but later, as the game progressed, he simply let Durant play freely. Because he found that the tactics would restrict Durant's performance, so he simply
Give him maximum freedom.
Durant has lived up to his coach's trust and used his performance to prove why he is a super genius. Although Durant looks a little thin, he is actually not afraid of confrontation. Many times, the audience can see Durant going deep
He knocked his opponent away from the basket and forced a dunk. There was nothing he could do. He was so talented and so tyrannical.
Of course, with the existence of Durant, a super bug, Quan Xiao chose to develop in a wretched way. Except for a few open shots, he focused more on the defensive end, so he did not have a particularly dazzling performance. But if you look at the game carefully
After looking at the data, you will find that his overall performance was actually pretty good. He scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 2 turnovers.
These data were obtained in 23 minutes of playing time. The most important thing is that he made 5 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and no two-pointers. It is not that Quan Xiao is incompetent or that he is an opponent.
The defense is too tight and cannot break through, but Quan Xiao is not needed to hold the ball and attack.
Durant and Augustin's breakthrough shots gave Quan Xiao a lot of opportunities on the outside, so he was happy to throw three-pointers easily from the outside. Most of the time, he defended the opponent's outside arrows and practiced.
Help and supplement defense.
As the season progresses, the Longhorns' performance becomes more mature, and the cooperation between teammates becomes more tacit. Durant's performance is as violent as ever, and he even scored 30+ points in 5 consecutive games.
In the game against Texas Tech University on January 31, 2007, in the presence of more than 13,500 spectators, Durant scored a huge double-double of 37 points and 18 rebounds. In the second half, Durant scored 37 points and 18 rebounds.
His personal score exceeded the opponent's entire team, he single-handedly defeated his opponent, and even convinced the opponent's head coach Bob Knight.
"Durant is really great," Knight said. "He is 2.06 meters tall and has such mobility, speed and shooting touch. I think
The idea is that Durant can do other things before the game, such as drinking some wine to play the game."
You know, it is not easy for Knight to praise an opponent player like this. Who is Knight? He is a person who is used to the world. He won a total of 902 games in the NCAA and ranked first in history when he retired.
, and was later surpassed by Coach K.
Knight won one NCAA championship as a player, and later coached the team to win three championships. He also served as the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team and won the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
After this game, Durant's fame grew and he truly became the most popular player in the NCAA, attracting the attention of more and more NBA owners and managers.
Even because he showed his admiration for Durant in an interview, the owner of the Bobcats and the basketball god Jordan, the best player in NBA history, was fined $15,000 for violating NBA regulations.
Before Jordan, Celtics general manager Angie had been fined $30,000. It turned out that during a college game, Angie sat side by side with Durant's mother and commented on Durant's performance on the court, which also violated the rules.
Relevant regulations.
Of course, as more and more games are played, Quan Xiao's performance is getting better and better. Because of Durant's performance on the offensive end, Quan Xiao will not have many opportunities to perform, but the progress on the defensive end is huge.
Originally, my defense alone was good, but now as I play more and more games, I am getting more and more experienced. I no longer just rely on my body, but more on making predictions based on experience.
This makes Quan Xiao's defense more stable and more troublesome for opponents. As for his ability to assist and supplement defense, there has been a huge improvement. Now, in terms of defense alone, Quan Xiao has become one of the elite defensive players.
Relying on Durant's furious performance and the hard work of other players, the Texas Longhorns also achieved 12 consecutive victories and have not lost since the start of the season.
This has made the Texas Longhorns attract a lot of attention because of Durant, and now they are loved by more and more fans. The Longhorns are also very favored by television broadcasters. Two games have been broadcast nationwide.
.
Based on this, Quan Xiao, who is the second best player in the team, has also attracted the attention of some people. He is somewhat famous throughout the United States, mainly in Texas.
In these 12 games, Durant averaged 28.8 points and 11.2 rebounds per game, and his performance was completely superstar level. Quan Xiao also averaged 16.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.3 steals per game.
Block data.
The most eye-catching thing is the field goal percentage, which is as high as 67.5%, including 61.4% three-point shooting rate, 43 of 70 shots, very efficient, averaging 3.6 hits per game. As for free throws, 100% hit rate, 37 free throws made
.
If Durant's performance hadn't been too dazzling, I believe Quan Xiao would have attracted more attention. However, Quan Xiao doesn't care too much about this at the moment. He would rather develop under Durant's protection and train well.
own technology.
You know, after all, he has too little experience in previous games, and his understanding of the game is not deep enough. Now is the time when he needs games to increase his experience. If he gets too much attention, it may not be a good thing for him.
Moreover, now he wants to do his own defense better. Of course, if necessary, he doesn't mind taking over the game and being the team's offensive arrow.
Yes, it's not that Quan Xiao doesn't have this ability. Coach Barnes and other teammates all know how strong Quan Xiao's offensive power is. After all, he is as good as Durant.
However, in order to achieve better results, Coach Barnes chose to hide his strength at this stage, so he did not let Quan Xiao show all his offensive methods, but only fully exposed his three-point strength and defensive ability.
So far, all of Quan Xiao's points have come from three-pointers and dunks after passing by teammates, jump shots in the penalty area, and free throws. He has never shown his offense with the ball. This has created a top-notch 3D for Quan Xiao
Image of the player.
It has to be said that Coach Barnes's move is very confusing. After all, the threat posed by a player who can attack independently with the ball is completely incomparable with a player who cannot attack with the ball.
Therefore, the defensive treatment he received was also very different, which gave Quan Xiao more room for improvement. After all, it is easier to score when the opponent's defense is not tight, and it is easier to build self-confidence.
And under the leadership of the violent Durant, the Texas Longhorns are also racing all the way, extremely violent, and are getting more and more stable on the road to victory.
