Chapter 329: Passing the Ball Is Not the Goal (2/10)

When a superstar continues to improve, that's a scary thing.

Leonard nodded.

The Spurs' offense, Duncan's response at the free-throw line, gave Leonard an open cut.

Leonard's flying layup.

But Durant's long arm stretched out behind him at this time, and he almost covered it directly!

"Bang!"

Leonard's shot was deflected wide and the rebound was picked up by Perkins.

"Oh ~ Durant's strength has improved a lot from last season." Barkley spoke from the commentary box.

"Yes, that's probably the most important factor why the Thunder can be the favorites after losing Harden." Smith nodded in agreement.

Not only Barkley and Smith, but the eyes of the fans at the scene were also on Durant at this time.

In the past, they could clearly feel the improvement of Durant's strength.

It seems that he has not only practiced dribbling this past offseason, but has also improved in other areas.

It was only at this time that many people remembered that this was Durant's sixth season.

NBA players, at this time period, if they remain in the league, either the technology is finalized, or it is time to have a big breakthrough.

Durant now seems to clearly fall into the latter category.

He is not willing to be just the team's former Ray Allen!

On the offense of the Thunder, Leonard has defended Durant closely, but Durant's off-ball runs fast, and Ibaka's blocking is in place.

Durant received the ball and saw Duncan's help defense arrive, so he dribbled directly on the spot, shook off the space and then shot.

"Huh!"

Shoot back!

Durant scored 4 points in a row in the opening game!

That's the biggest difference after Durant knows how to dribble, he finally doesn't have to use his long leg to break through on the left every time.

The Spurs' frontcourt offense, the hammer tactics ran out of opportunities, and Leonard seized the opportunity to hit a three-point shot.

Although he didn't train with Tang Tian this past summer, he didn't waste his time in the offseason.

Turning around, Durant continued to catch the ball.

This time the rest of the Thunder stretched the space wide open.

Durant's drastic change of direction on the spot.

Leonard didn't risk a steal this time, but grabbed the position early to block Durant's breakthrough route.

Although he is already a top defender, he is still learning and improving when he keeps watching Tang Tian's defense off the field.

Durant was blocked on the right, but he didn't stop the ball and switched directly to the long leg on the left side to break through.

Same attacking style, but noticeably more fluid than last season.

Durant broke through to the interior and made a layup on Leonard's big loop.

Leonard struggled to defend, but couldn't cover it, hitting Durant's arm and being whistled for a defensive foul.

"Bang!"

What's even more fatal is that Durant kept his hand shape very well after being fouled, and his shot under the confrontation was still sent to the basket!

2+1!

There was a stirring on the sidelines.

Durant was unstoppable after the opening!

The camera on the scene gave Durant for the first time, and Durant and Westbrook high-fived fiercely, but their faces were still cold.

"Now I think Kevin can really compete with LeBron for MVP, and he's looking a little undefensible right now." Kenny Smith sighed.

Durant's free throw opportunity, Popovich took advantage of this time to call Tang Tian to the sidelines.

"Can you stop him?" Popovich asked quickly.

Tang Tian shook his head.

Now Durant, because Harden was traded, the Spurs' award ceremony, many factors are mixed, and the strength and state are different from last season.

If you continue to compare with the "Grim Reaper" comics, it has evolved from the strength of the "mask" to the state of "virtuality".

"Are you going to defend him?" Popovich then asked.

Tang Tian didn't hesitate and nodded directly.

Leonard can't defend himself, he is the only one who can be on it, and he has to defend if he can't prevent it.

Popovich nodded in satisfaction and turned to call Green up.

Substitutions on the sidelines, Green came on to replace Leonard.

The scene erupted in cheers.

Tang Tian is the biggest trump card of the Spurs on the defensive end now!

"Here, we are familiar with Don VS Durant." Ross Barkley shouted from the sidelines, as if that was the most appealing part of the game.

"Two guys who don't deal with each other." Smith chimed in.

Durant scolded Tang Tian with a trumpet, and Tang Tian sprayed Durant with trash talk, and the two were on and off the court last season.

Now the new season is coming, and the confrontation between the two has begun again!

Durant saw the Spurs' substitution, and also realized that Tang Tian was going to play against him again, and the murderous aura on his face became even stronger.

"Huh!"

Durant's free throw also went in.

He scored seven straight points in the opening game to give the Thunder a 7-3 lead.

The Spurs continue to play hammer tactics in the frontcourt, and it's Zip.

Leonard went off the field, and Tang Tian took his tactical position, waiting for the ball in the bottom corner.

Parker's split ball after breaking through was given, but Tang Tian received the ball and was followed by Ibaka, who assisted in the defense.

With last season's experience, the Thunder know very well that Tang Tian's three-point threat is far greater than that of Green and Leonard, and the pressure on defense is not a grade.

However, just as Ibaka flew up to help defend it, Tang Tian suddenly dribbled and took a step forward, and then passed the ball with his right hand.

The ball flew past Ibaka and then directly into Duncan's hands under the basket.

Duncan received the ball and immediately after it was a close-range wipe shot.

"Bang!"

The ball wipes the board into the frame.

"Cake King" Duncan is online.

Duncan stretched out his hand to Tang Tian after scoring the goal.

The two brought the cooperation of the Chinese game to the regular season!

Whistles rang out from the sidelines.

If the passing ability shown by Tang Tian in the preseason still worried that the intensity of the game was not enough, then this pass just now completely dispelled their worries!

Tang Tian is now able to pass on!

"Durant wasn't last season's Durant, and Don wasn't last season's Don, man, you have to be careful with his passing!"

After Tang Tian and Durant faced off, Barkley's commentary mood has been high, and he also shouted at this time.

Durant received the ball in the front court and hit Tang Tian, and after the dribbling breakthrough was blocked by Tang Tian, he directly followed an emergency stop and leaned back, and the whole action was very coherent.

"Huh!"

Durant scored another goal against Tang Tian's defense, and scored 9 points in a row after the opening!

In "Bleach of Death", Ichigo's strength doubled when he entered the masked state, but after he was blurred, his direct combat power exploded.

Just like Tang Tian said to Popovich, he can't prevent it now.

However, Durant scored a goal here, and Tang Tian had another chance in the front court.

This time, Ibaka defended again, but he obviously didn't dare to save as thoroughly as he did in the previous round, but was distracted by the position of Duncan behind him.

Tang Tian shot directly.

Ibaka didn't have time to interfere.

"Huh!"

Tang Tian returned Durant with a three-point anserball!
