Chapter 298: A New Rival?
"At least Kevin Durant has to be invited, easy to face Kevin Durant, this can definitely be the highlight of the three-point shooting contest!"
The discussion about the All-Star Weekend three-point shooting contest couldn't stop from the start.
Some fans have proposed a three-point shooting contest with the theme of "all the big guys"!
This idea was recognized by most of the fans.
Soon, the name Kevin Durant was mentioned.
In today's league, big three-point shooters have unknowingly become the mainstream of the league.
The Mavericks' Dick Nowitzki, the Raptors' Chris Posh, the Warriors' Radmanovich, the Magic's Ryan Anderson Pack, and the Spurs' Matt Bonner are all big men with accurate three-point shots.
And that's just the point, if you really want to count, I'm afraid you won't be able to count them on two hands.
And there are two guys in this group of big pitchers who have to be said.
They're a little more special than this group of big pitchers.
It's not an exaggeration to say that they are big men across the ages!
Not only do they have an accurate outside shooting ability, but they also have the same ability to break through with the ball as an outside player.
A big man who has completely evolved into an outside player even has a style of play that was unimaginable in the past league.
Yi Jianlian, and Kevin Durant. These two guys, who are both 2.10 meters tall but can control the ball and dribble like outside players, are destined to set off a new wave of big men in the future NBA.
And there are too many similarities between the two of them.
They are all the pride of the 07 draft - Kevin Durant is the eye, and Yi Jianlian is the fourth pick in the first round.
Both have been in the league for three years and have been able to make great progress every year. - Yi Jianlian's average points per game have increased from about 21 points to 28 points and then to about 30 points now; Durant's scoring average has gone from 20 to 27 points per game to about 31 points today.
The increase is not much different.
In particular, they are also players in the same position.
Although there were many media comparing Yi Jianlian and LeBron last year, LeBron's fans and more media did not recognize this comparison - hmph, our little emperor is going to compete for the first person in the league, and only Kobe Bryant is our LeBron's reluctant opponent! How can you, a second-grader, compare yourself to the little emperor of our family.
In contrast, Kevin Durant and Yi Jianlian seem to be more suitable for comparison together.
Not to mention the many grievances before, this season, the two have already begun to compete!
The current first and second in the NBA scoring list are the two of them.
Kevin Durant is in first place with 31.7 points per game.
Yi Jianlian was originally still far behind, but in the last four games, he has also broken through the 30-point mark in average points per game, only about 1 point away from Durant.
The season has only passed by a quarter, and the difference of 1 point at this time is nothing at all!
Who can become the final scoring champion of the 09~10 season, the competition between these two "quasi-scoring champions" who have not won the title of "scoring champion" has just begun!
Before the suspense of who will win the scoring title is finally revealed, if the league arranges for them to compare the three-point shooting contest in the All-Star Weekend, the noise will not be much worse than last year's Yi Jianlian and Howard for the "dunk king"!
This is just a discussion among netizens, but Durant can't wait to make his attitude clear first: "If the league is interested in inviting Yi to participate in the three-point contest at All-Star Weekend, then I hope I can get the same invitation!" ”
This is undoubtedly trying to prove yourself!
Although Durant lost in the first meeting between the Bucks and the Thunder this season, and he also admitted that he is indeed inferior to Yi Jianlian now, but that is on the court, if it is only about three-point shooting ability, Kevin Durant is still unconvinced, after all, this is the guy he uses to eat.
As soon as the Grim Reaper mode is turned on, who in the world can stop it?
Well?
As soon as he made a statement, he instantly attracted a lot of fans to watch:
"Kevin seems to really want to have a duel with Yi in the three-point shooting contest?"
"I'm going to win it once! Kevin, you can't win an official game, and you can't win an entertaining game like All-Star Weekend, it's a shame! ”
"Kevin, I advise you to keep a low profile! Yi can shoot 12 three-pointers in a single game, and his three-point improvement this season is too much! ”
Kevin Durant was quite happy at first when he saw the sharp rise in comments, thinking if it was the explosion of this season that attracted a wave of fans, but when he clicked on the comments, he almost didn't make him angry, they were all a group of guys who were not optimistic about him, and what he said was called a heartache!
"I'm sure Kevin can win, his projection prowess has been proven for a long time!"
"Why do you say that Kevin, he obviously works so hard!"
"Come on Kevin, they laugh at you now, you don't deserve a better future!"
Well, the trumpet "Kevin Durant will be the future of the Thunder" after a long time of absence was dispatched, and Kevin Durant leaned on the head of the bed and didn't sleep all night.
***
Soon a fan sent a link to Durant's speech on Twitter to Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian also replied via Twitter: "If this scene really happened during All-Star Weekend, I think it must be interesting!" ”
Of course, Yi Jianlian does not have Aite Kevin Durant, but everyone can see that the content of this is to say that he is willing to participate in the All-Star three-point shooting contest and also accepts Kevin Durant's challenge!
The fans blew up all at once, and although this is just a hypothesis, wasn't last season's "Slam Dunk Contest" also hypothetical at the beginning? In the end, didn't the alliance officials also fulfill the wishes of the big guys?
To put it bluntly, it's trouble! If you make a big deal out of it, what's not to do?
Moreover, if these two heavyweight stars really join, the game will already be very interesting.
The alliance officials are not stupid, can they not see the influence of this duel?
Many viewers believe that the league will definitely invite these two men, and they are already looking forward to the early arrival of this season's All-Star Weekend!
"Wow, I hope to have a chance to see Yi's ability to shoot three points in a row, that scene will definitely be amazing!"
"Although I don't know which other players will participate, as long as Yi participates, then I unconditionally support Yi to become the final champion!"
"Is it possible for Yi to become the first dunk king and three-point king in NBA history?"
is different from Durant's message on Twitter, many viewers are optimistic that Yi Jianlian can win the championship!
The night when he shot 12 three-pointers in a single game is still in front of him, and the first place in the total number of three-point shots this season can also be seen, Yi Jianlian's three-point shooting ability itself has made great progress this season, and it is inevitable to be optimistic that he will win the championship.
These comments make Durant so envious, why don't I have such cute fans?
He had to hide in the training gym alone to double his training to counteract this feeling.
Well, don't envy, don't envy, envy me and I'll lose!
Hey, it's still a little sour!
