Now Durant's defense is not as bad as before, and with his own targeted efforts for more than a month, Durant's defensive habits are much better.

But defense is not something that can be quickly improved in more than a month of assault, and it takes a lot of time and experience to sharpen.

As far as the current Durant is concerned, in the face of Anthony who was so strong at the beginning, it is good that Durant is not as embarrassed as before.

If it were to be changed to the past, according to Durant's bad habit of reaching out and being brittle, Anthony's opening attack would not be just a two-point, in addition to two centimeters, I am afraid there would be a +1 free throw.

Anthony's opening first attack was strong, which made the supersonic fans at the scene feel incredible.

However, for the supersonic players, this is something that was expected before the game, and even the supersonic players are still a little satisfied that Durant was not knocked down by Anthony and was not completed by Anthony for an open dunk.

It's just clear that Durant, who doesn't want to be a burden in this game, will certainly not be satisfied with his defense this time.

However, what makes Durant even more uncomfortable is that no matter how dissatisfied he is with his defensive performance this time, he is not qualified to glare back at Anthony like he did just now.

In Anthony's eyes, there was no such thing as him at all.

When Anthony got off the basket after dunking him just now, there was no place for him in his eyes.

This feeling of being ignored makes Durant even more uncomfortable.

He is a sensitive person.

He admits to being garbage.

But he doesn't allow anyone other than yes to think he's rubbish!

Except for yes, no one can hurt his self-esteem like this.

However, his strength has no way to protect his already small self-esteem.

What did he use to fight back at Anthony's contempt and disregard?

With his status as a scoring champion or as an All-Star starter?

Both of his identities are a joke in the playoffs.

Those who rely on the abundance of opportunities from yes to earn the stats and accolades are the least valuable in the playoffs.

Now, maybe what he needs to think about is not to get back on the pitch from Anthony, what he needs now is to try to spend as much time as possible on the court.

As for the others, the regular season scoring champion, the All-Star starter, these identities have nothing to do with him here.

Now he needs to play a good role, try to help yes beat the Nuggets, and try to make himself more of a win in this victory.

"Anthony's provocation to Yes just now is very obvious, will this match turn into a showdown between Yes and Anthony at the beginning?!"

After Anthony scored the opening kicker, commentators and media from all over the world on the sidelines of the Key Arena are now looking forward to the rest of the game.

After the All-Star break, yes hasn't played against the rest of the league's biggest stars in a while!

After the All-Star break, the world knew what yes had been doing on the court.

Yes is doing its best to cultivate Durant, whether it is the ball, the right to shoot, or other rights, yes is working hard to cooperate with Durant's growth.

The direct result of this is that yes's data has dropped a lot, both points and assists are declining, shots are falling, ball possession is declining, and scores and assists will naturally decline.

If it weren't for yes' scoring efficiency, yes' points per game average this season would likely drop to 30 per game.

This season, yes is averaging 30+ points per game, averaging 30.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game.

That's a pretty good stat, but combined with a percentages of shots and less than 18 shots per game, the world knows that yes can score more points with slightly worse shooting percentage and get more assists with more possession.

If yes takes back the shots and balls given to Durant, then yes will average 35+7+10 per game this season, which will be an easy thing.

It can be said that it is precisely because of these data that the media and fans across the United States are quite dissatisfied with yes's focus on developing Durant in the game.

If it weren't for the supersonic record, it would have been very good.

I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it for a long time.

After the All-Star break, yes' development was completely pointless.

In that game between the SuperSonics and the Suns, the whole world saw Durant's potential clearly.

This is a player who only has a quasi-All-Star caliber level.

yes used his large amount of ball possession to quickly elevate Durant to a quasi-All-Star level in the first half of the season, which is already very worthy of Durant.

Even Durant himself can't ask for more, right?

In this case, yes should decisively give up the cultivation of Durant, even if it wants to continue to develop its teammates, it should choose others, such as SuperSonics backup point guard Sessions and others.

But yes's final choice is incredible.

Yes still doesn't give up on Durant, even if he knows that Durant's potential is like that, he is still doing his best to cultivate Durant.

Yes doesn't care about his regular season stats at all, as if he would not hesitate to break his record of 20+ points per game or break his career record of averaging more than 30 points per game in all seasons.

Yes's lack of attention to regular-season stats has left the world quite stunned by the coconut fans who want yes to give up on Durant.

However, in the end, these people also accepted, after all, yes is not a person who likes to chase data in the first place.

yes If he is the kind of person who chases data and devours data, there is no way that his teammates around him will be able to play.

Since data is not attractive to yes, then victory should always be attractive, right?

Victory, indeed, is very attractive to yes.

Because the foundation of yes's training of Durant is that the supersonic have always maintained victory.

As long as the SuperSonics can keep winning, yes will not give up on the development of Durant.

In yes's mind, Durant has a high status, and perhaps the only thing that can have a higher status than Durant is to win the game.

Unless yes knows that he will pay the price of winning the game for such reckless cultivation of Durant, he will give up Durant completely.

And now, that's the situation!

In the face of such a powerful Nuggets, if yes dares to continue to cultivate Durant, then it will naturally pay the price of winning the game.

There will be no one in the world who thinks that the superSonics and yes, in the case of raising Durant, can beat the hypersounds.

Not even one of them!

When media pundits across the U.S. made predictions for this game, the reason why the SuperSonics could win three games was either because they believed yes would be on fire in this series.

Yes, who is full of firepower, is the only two players in history to have 60+ in a single playoff game in the two playoffs in the half of the playoffs, and he is also the only player in NBA history who has scored more than 30 points in all playoff games!

With such a player firing at full strength, it is natural that he can defeat any opponent.

The SuperSonics are no match for the Nuggets in this series.

But for the sake of the SuperSonics to lose decently, for the sake of winning these three games, yes will not continue to care about Durant's such a lagging player in the playoffs.

At that time, whether Durant will become the scoring champion with the most disparity between the regular season and the playoffs in NBA history, and finally record on the NBA's all-time pillar of shame, will have nothing to do with YES at all.

Even Durant himself has no face to say to yes, so yes will always protect him and protect him.

Of course, yes will give up Durant in the playoffs for victory, and eventually Durant will go from a scoring champion with an average of 35 points per game to a role player with an average of about 10 points per game, which is all speculation from the national media and experts.

Yes, of course, it is also possible to continue to develop Durant.

As long as yes does this, then it proves that Durant's status in yes's heart is higher than victory!

The whole world knows how much victory means in yes' mind.

Victory has an almost supreme position in the minds of Yes.

Is there anything or someone more important in yes' mind than victory?

Yes, indeed.

The only person or group of people in Yes's basketball career who made him give up a win was the other four of Garfield's Five Tigers.

How can Durant compare to the Garfield Five?

Even if it's to ask Durant himself, ask him if he thinks he can match the Garfield Five in yes's mind.

No matter how high Durant's status in Yes's heart is, it is impossible to reach the level of the Garfield Five Tigers.

"Now, welcome to yes showtime!"

In the commentary booth of the Key Arena, TNT's commentator Barkley is now even shouting excitedly.

It's been a long time since fans across the U.S. have seen those supernatural performances of yes on the stage of the playoffs!

It's been nearly a year since YES last played in the playoffs.

While yes also had a lot of unbeatable performances during the regular season.

But who doesn't know that YES in the playoffs are much better than YES in the regular season.

The YES of the regular season is that the score is never lower.

The YES of the playoffs is never less scored!

After Rondo slowly dribbled through the halfcourt, he handed the basketball to Yes in anticipation.

"Since everyone wants to see your performance, the second master will allow you to perform in this competition!"

After Rondo transferred the basketball to Yes's hand in anticipation, he glanced at Durant who was standing on the side like a minion.

In the more than a month after the end of the All-Star Game, it was the most difficult month for the second master.

Why did the second master want to pass the ball to a good person like Du Fifteen?

Why does the second master want to assist a person like Du Fifteen?

Why can a person like Du Fifteen look like the protagonist in the game, while the second master can only look like a minion and a supporting role?

Willingly?

Of course not!

Du Fifteen, this guy, should be like now, like everyone, he is a supporting role by yes!

How could someone as sensitive as Durant fail to notice Rondo's schadenfreude and contempt.

On a regular basis, Durant would have glared back at Rondo.

But right now, Durant doesn't have any intention of doing something like that.

Besides, the contempt in Rondo's eyes was not wrong.

He's really that kind of player.

He himself has never been arrogant and thinks that yes has been a supporting role for more than a month or nearly two months, and he has become the protagonist of the supersonic.

In the supersonic speed, there is always only one protagonist, yes!

He wouldn't think that yes would have raised him in that way for more than a month, and he would ask yes to treat him that way all the time.

No need to be reminded by Rondo, he is self-aware!

He's now ready to respond to yes attacks.

Yes attacked first, and the offense was blocked, and he, like Rondo or any other superSonic, was just a point of contact around Yes.

This is the playoffs!

He'll adapt to a new role in the playoffs, with no shots, no ball, just defense and responsibility!

Durant felt the madness of the live SuperSonics fans and how eager yes could respond to Anthony's provocation on this offense.

Anthony is obviously ravaging him, but he is not qualified to respond, but the response is yes, this is the reality, although unwilling, but the reality that must be accepted.

Durant feels like he's ready to adapt to different roles in the regular season and the playoffs.

But there was always no way for him to calm down immediately.

said that it was adapted, how could it be so quick to adapt!

After all, in the last game, he was still the most special one around yes!

Gain and lose, of course!

Well?!

Just when Durant was suffering from gains and losses, Durant seemed to feel that the originally crazy key arena suddenly quieted down.

And when he came back to his senses, he felt a flow of air, and Durant subconsciously held this flow in his hand.

Durant looked down at the basketball that flew over, and his originally confused eyes expanded sharply and shrank sharply.

Blue, basketball?!

"yes actually just passed his hand and handed the basketball in his hand to Durant's hand?!"

Seeing the picture on TV, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers players around him were stunned.

They were just like the fans at the scene, but they were also looking forward to the showdown and response between yes and Anthony!

"yes is trying to get Durant to respond to Anthony!"

"yes knows that Durant can't respond to Anthony, but he still gives Durant a chance!"

"Could it be that Durant is ready to play the playoffs with the Nuggets, and still cultivates a Durant who has no potential, at most a quasi-All-Star level?!"

The Lakers players who just beat the Spurs and didn't sweat on their bodies are really looking at each other a little now, and they feel incredible.

"Durant's status in yes' mind is higher than victory!"

When yes handed the basketball to Durant without stopping, the TV became in an uproar after a brief silence.

Soon, the Lakers got the answers they wanted.

It should be said that the whole world got the answers they wanted!

"yes is really continuing to develop Durant who has no potential in the playoffs with the Nuggets!"

And Durant didn't disappoint.

The first quarter of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Denver Nuggets ended.

Durant handed over the answer sheet of the supersonic single quarter!

"It's an unbearable weight, but yes, I'm willing to bear it for Durant......"

Looking at the supersonic No. 9 on the TV with an incomparably firm face, Kobe Bryant seemed to feel that his three views had been refreshed.

Does this really need to be done......

"I...... more important than victory"

On the supersonic bench, the towel in Durant's hand was tightly covered on his head.

The look on Durant's face under the towel was one of surprise, stunned and sluggish, and deep pain......

He doesn't deserve this love......
