Chapter 499: Who would have thought that a person with such a low EQ would actually ...... (First update!) )
It's like a bullet piercing the heart.
Durant felt a sense of distress for a moment, and then his breathing stopped.
It turns out that you are such an idol!
You encouraged me before the game, saying that Ariza couldn't stop me!
It's only been a long time since you fought, and you're going to let Ariza defend me to the death?
To know what the body is fighting against, is his biggest weakness now!
Sun Hao didn't notice Durant's gaze.
Even if he noticed, he wouldn't change his approach.
He said that Ariza should not make dangerous moves against Durant, which is his protection of Durant, and it can also be understood as a preference after being warmed before.
But if you want to say that he really let Ariza defend and let the water go, that's.
Because if you do that, it seems to be a preference, but it is actually doting, and it will do Durant no harm.
Instead, he wants Ariza to do, as he just said, to put Durant on the physical side and defend as hard as he can.
Because in a regular season, even in the NBA opener, whether the performance is good or bad is not the most critical for a champion.
The most important thing is what he can expect from the first fight of his career.
Therefore, compared with the "doting" of letting his teammates release water, let Durant deeply realize his current weaknesses and improve them in the later part of the season, which is the real preference!
Or to put it more bluntly, Ariza is now Durant's first whetstone for sharpening the "Scythe of Death"!
Durant...... Of course not.
If he could understand this, then he wouldn't be Durant.
After hearing Sun Hao target himself like this, he was more unconvinced in his heart.
Yes, he was not convinced!
Sun Hao to James, never like this!
Even if James said that he wanted to defeat Sun Hao and regain his nickname of "Little Emperor", Sun Hao laughed it off!
How could he be like today, let his teammates point to his weaknesses to target!
Is it because James is more talented than him in Sun Hao's eyes?
Or is it because James knew Sun Hao before him?
In just a moment, he was already full of thoughts.
In the end, he looked up at Sun Hao with a sharp gaze:
No, you're wrong, Brother Hao!
I'll prove it to you, I'm better than James!
Even if James knew you before I did.
But!!
I am your best disciple!
……
Sun Hao didn't know about Durant's brainstorming.
If he knew, he would have been silent for a while, and then summed it up: poisonous!
Normal people don't have such brain circuits, okay?
The Lakers' offense, Posey received Sun Hao's three-point shot.
However, this time, when he made a shot, Durant came back quickly, and his long arms interfered with his shooting vision.
"Phew!"
His second three-point attempt missed.
Old Nelson's frowning brow relaxed.
Fortunately, Durant didn't let him down!
This section of Durant has a full sense of presence at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, worthy of his status as the champion.
Big Ben protected the defensive rebound, Durant received the ball again when he got to the front, and Ariza went straight to the body to confront.
Although Ariza is a little worse than Posey in terms of physical fitness and defensive aggression, it is after all a body that has been honed in the NBA for several years.
Durant was visibly uncomfortable.
He did his best to shake off Ariza's interference, but Ariza gave a high-intensity confrontation before he turned, and his turn shot was noticeably a little off.
"Phew!"
The ball finally smashed out of the frame and his scoring streak was broken.
O'Neal added another defensive rebound.
And in the next round, he hit Big Ben inside and turned around and missed the hook, but he took off the second offensive rebound and scored a direct dunk!
"Shaq must have lost weight!"
Barkley understood it at this point.
Because O'Neal's weight base is too large, and the weight loss method is relatively gentle, even if you look closely, you can't see the change in body shape.
However, O'Neal's offense in this round just now will not deceive.
That kind of flexible movement and reaction speed, O'Neill will definitely not be able to do it last season!
So the only explanation is that O'Neill lost weight!
Smith on the side also nodded.
Not only on the offensive end, but O'Neal also played significantly better on the defensive end of the opening game than last season.
Before, they all wondered why O'Neill suddenly changed to a second spring, and losing weight was the most reasonable explanation.
"But why is this guy willing to lose weight?"
Barkley's next question is the puzzle of the century.
Because even the Lakers don't know about this problem.
Smith shook his head as well.
This kind of thing can only be asked by O'Neill in person after the game.
The game on the field continues.
Durant received the ball again without the ball, but after Ariza gave him a physical confrontation, he obviously didn't have a good shot.
In the end, he had no choice but to return the ball to Calderón.
One time was interfered with, and another time was forced to pass.
After Ariza gave a high-intensity physical confrontation, Durant's score was frozen.
Old Nelson reached out and touched his chin, his eyes moving left and right in thought.
Core strength and physical confrontation are indeed Durant's biggest problems right now.
The Warriors are actually doing this in the summer.
But this stuff is more troublesome than losing weight.
Because the improvement of core strength does not mean that you can add some weight, what he needs is long-term training.
Like Sun Hao, he relied on the time in the system to practice.
Now he has no better way but to rely on Durant to adapt on his own.
And Ariza's defense is good enough, so it should be a whetstone for Durant!
At this point, the old Nelson and Sun Hao, the master and apprentice, can be regarded as thinking of going together.
Ariza looked at Sun Hao with gratitude in her eyes at this time.
Sun Hao, let him regain his strength!
Durant is autistic.
He originally wanted to prove that he was Sun Hao's best protégé, but the past two rounds have proved that his current physical confrontation is really poor.
Did you just throw in the towel?
No, he won't!
The two slaps that my mother slapped him at the beginning had already slapped him awake.
When it comes to basketball, he won't give up easily!
The game on the court continues, and the Lakers are still on offense.
On the Warriors' side, Durant didn't get another chance to shoot, but his running kept the Lakers' defense in check, and Jamison seized the opportunity to score consecutive points.
Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 21-12.
The Lakers have a lot of advantages, but the continuous performances of Durant and Jamison have allowed the Warriors to temporarily stabilize their position.
At this time, there was a substitution on the sidelines, and Mourning came on to replace O'Neal.
Although the weight loss has had some effect and allowed O'Neill to regain some flexibility, he still weighs a lot and still needs to control his playing time.
Modern medicine is well developed, and Phil Jackson already knows a few things from the team doctor.
If O'Neill can lose 10kg, then he can increase his playing time by about 5 minutes on the premise that the risk of injury will not increase.
But now O'Neill is still a long way from that goal.
The Warriors' offense, Durant continued to run to contain.
To say that thinness also has the benefit of being thin, the physical energy consumption of running without the ball is relatively less.
After playing half a quarter, Durant still looked very energetic.
And this time he didn't blindly move out again, but after the pick-and-roll he suddenly hit the basket with a reverse cut.
Calderón saw the moment and made a penetrating through ball.
Durant jumped straight up after receiving the ball.
"Bang!"
A light two-handed dunk.
Durant contributed the first dunk of his career, and it was also his 8th point in the first quarter!
This ball also reflects the impact of O'Neal's departure on the Lakers.
Mourning's defensive ability is better than last season's O'Neal.
But O'Neal has improved defensively this season, while Mourning is a year older.
In comparison, his defensive ability is weaker than O'Neal's.
And his footsteps have slowed down with age.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is opposite to Big Ben.
Anything is afraid of having a reference.
Big Ben's muscular frame played a limited role in front of O'Neill, but it was different in front of Old Mourning.
Mo Ning, who was directly stuck in the card position, couldn't get by.
Posey's breakaway layup is defended by Ben.
He has a strong desire to attack and has a certain ability to break through, but it is not easy to score under the basket guarded by Big Ben.
Turning around, Durant cut to the basket again.
This time Walker had to go to the inside to shrink.
It's just that although he prevented Durant from scoring, he still paid for a foul!
Durant walked to the free-throw line, adjusted his breath, and made one of two free throws.
His score in this quarter came to 10 points!
Sun Hao looked at Durant's eyes at this time...... Full of appreciation!
The core strength is something that Durant can't change for a while, but what Durant can change is his offensive style.
And he did, and he made the right choice.
If the physical confrontation is not good, then avoid the physical confrontation!
And the best way to avoid physical confrontation is to reduce the ball, or even not to carry the ball!
In particular, Durant also seized the point that O'Neal's interior defense of the Lakers became weak.
Who would have thought that Durant, who has such a low EQ, would have such a high ball quotient!!
Durant has always had an afterglow on Sun Hao, and he met Sun Hao's gaze for the first time.
In an instant, his broken heart healed.
Sun Hao, finally recognized him!
All his efforts were worth it!
At this moment, another little person appeared in his mind, encouraging him:
Come on, Kevin!
You can do it!
One day, Sun Hao will transfer his preference for James to you!
……
With 10 points in a single quarter, Durant's debut performance was better than many expected, and it was much better.
Especially this kind of performance, which was achieved in the game against the Lakers, is definitely outstanding.
Moreover, he still had a good performance in the second three quarters of the game.
He finished with a Warriors-high 25 points on 10-of-22 shooting, plus five boards, two blocks and two steals.
A near-perfect debut, even comparable to the original James.
The only fly in the ointment was that the Warriors lost to the Lakers 91-106 in the end.
But there's no way around it.
From the first quarter of the game between the two sides, it can be seen that the Lakers have made much more preparation this season than in the past two seasons.
There is also the play of the big book.
Big Ben only had 5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the whole game.
O'Neal, who was opposite him, had 22 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks.
"Big instinct to keep O'Neill" is a misconception in itself.
This game is even more red to reflect this.
Leaving the Pistons' defensive system, Big Ben had little power to parry against O'Neal.
The biggest signings of the summer were suppressed and could not be played, and it was not surprising that the Warriors lost.
In O'Neal's second spring, Durant made an excellent debut, but the most eye-catching one is Sun Hao.
Although he clocked in and out of work in three quarters, he spent the last quarter chatting and drinking wolfberries for the whole session.
But he still scored a game-high 30 points, plus 3 boards, 6 assists and 2 steals!
And what's even more terrifying is that he completed this score, only 18 shots!
This kind of performance is already very Jordan's!
After the game, Sun Hao reached out and touched Durant's head a few times.
Durant felt encouraged, and in the game, Sun Hao signaled Ariza to defend himself, and the depression of losing the game was all left behind by him.
And Sun Hao also showed his preference for Durant during the post-game press conference.
"We all know how good Trevor's defense is, and it's going to be difficult for any player to score against him.
But Kevin withstood the test and proved that scoring is a simple thing for him. ”
When the reporter asked Sun Hao to make an evaluation of Durant's debut performance, he said.
"He's the most talented scorer I've ever seen, but he needs to improve his core strength and confrontation, work on his ball handling more, and I'm sure one day he'll be as good as LeBron."
When the reporter compared Durant with James, Sun Hao did not hesitate to praise him.
"And does he have a chance to be as good as you?"
"Of course, he has a chance."
And when the reporter couldn't help but ask, Sun Hao's answer was surprising again.
This wave of interviews filled the topic after the game.
In addition to discussing the excellent state of the Lakers and Durant's debut slap in the face, fans also have Sun Hao's attitude!
"I've never seen Sun have such a high opinion of newcomers, and he hasn't done this to LeBron or Melo!"
"The key is that this is only one game, this is Chiguoguo's preference!"
"Don't say it, Sun said that, I think in addition to being a little bit of a migrant worker, Durant is a near-perfect player."
"+1, I don't think anyone can guard against his pull-up jumper."
"+2, his ability to score without the ball is perfect, the key is to play smart!"
……
After playing the game and accepting media interviews, Durant went straight back to the hotel to take a shower and rest.
He didn't really like nightlife, especially in Los Angeles, which was too noisy for him.
He still prefers to snuggle up under the covers, take out his phone, and see what the fans say about him after the game.
Then, log in to the trumpet or something.
But this time, he saw the words that Sun Hao said during the interview.
He smacked for a moment, then jumped up from the covers!
After the game was over, Sun Hao said to the media, "Kevin has withstood the test".
He finally found out that Sun Hao let Ariza fight against him physically, which was a test for him!!
