Chapter 208: It's Right to Be Uncomfortable (Eighth Update)

The Thunder have a strong lineup on paper, and the Spurs have no obvious advantage points in the matchup, and they are more playing tactics on the court.

Parker advanced to the front court and then hit a Zip hammer, Tang Tian got an open opportunity in the bottom corner, and the catcher hit the knife.

5-2, Spurs dominated the game.

There was a stir at the scene, Tang Tian used to attack and defend in the past, and it seemed that he had the upper hand in the confrontation with Durant?

Durant went to the front court outside the three-point line and asked Westbrook for the ball directly, and he said that if he wants to explode tonight, he must explode!

Prevent me from catching the ball, right? Then I'll be holding the ball from beyond the three-point line!

Westbrook has absolute trust in Durant, not only giving the ball over, but also signaling teammates to pull away to create enough space for Durant to play.

Durant holds the ball and dribbles with his left hand.

Tang Tian grabbed the position, but Durant still squeezed him through with long legs.

When Tang Tian grabbed the defensive position again, Durant directly made a quick stop to step back to the middle distance, and his long arms stretched out to ignore Tang Tian's interference.

"Huh!"

Shoot again!

After Durant's projection ability is practiced, with his long legs and long arms, it is really a bit incomprehensible.

After Durant scored, he glanced at Tang Tian with a downward look.

The meaning of that expression is obvious: You think you can stop me by stopping me from catching the ball? Naive!

Durant made all 2 shots from the opening game, which is also his normal performance throughout the season, and he has already secured the position of second small forward in the league.

The mood of the fans at the scene was also very high at this time.

Winning a three-point contest has made some "godfather" fans tail up in the sky, but it was an all-star game, just an entertainment show, and winning actually doesn't mean anything at all!

Only this kind of official competition in front of you is really convincing!

The fans at the scene also whistled constantly.

Durant hit Tang Tian's defense continuously at the beginning, this is the strength gap!

Tang Tian is a clown in their opinion, and he is not worthy of being compared to their Durant at all, and Durant's real opponent should be the man in Miami.

The Spurs' frontcourt tactics came out, Parker's throw missed, and Ibaka jumped up to grab the defensive rebound.

The Thunder now have a chance to overtake the score.

Westbrook continued to give the ball to Durant.

As a brother, he is one of the most supportive of Durant, and now that Durant feels good, there is no reason not to beat him.

Durant continues to hold the ball outside the three-point line, and also on the left.

Tang Tian grabbed the position in advance this time and forced Durant to stop directly.

The same trick doesn't work well if he uses it too much!

After Durant was forced to stop, he chose to turn over and jump to shoot, and Tang Tian jumped early to cover his face.

"Bang!"

The basket is out of the basket!

The defensive pressure given by Tang Tian was particularly strong in this ball, and Durant's shot was blocked!

In a scrum for rebounds under the basket, Duncan stuck Ibaka and didn't let him jump, and Blair got into position and then took the defensive rebound.

"Don's learning speed is really fast!"

Barkley didn't just sigh in his heart at this time, but shouted directly.

"yes, it's just their first matchup, and I suddenly feel like our pre-match predictions are likely to come true."

Kenny Smith echoed with a smile.

"I said, Shaq's sixth sense."

O'Neill followed, and he was fully integrated into the commentary.

The Spurs played AI hammer tactics again in the frontcourt, and Green received the ball in the bottom corner.

But the Thunder were quick defensively, and his shot was distracted and missed, and Perkins picked up the rebound.

As the top two teams in the West, their overall defense is excellent, and the Spurs will struggle every time they score.

Westbrook went to the frontcourt and continued to give the ball to Durant.

The Spurs have played as a team this season, and the Thunder have done the opposite, playing superstar basketball and being more thorough than the Heat.

Durant continued to hold the ball and hit Tang Tian, still taking the left side of the stride.

Tang Tian still grabbed the position in advance, and this time before Durant raised the ball to shoot, he used dynamic vision to shoot directly.

"Smack!"

He actually slapped the ball out of Durant's hand, and then stealed it directly!

The Spurs quickly played a fast break, Parker launched a fast break from the backcourt, and scored a layup directly to the frontcourt.

7 to 4.

There was a stirring at the scene.

"Wow!" Barkley also let out an exclamation in the commentary box.

After hitting two consecutive balls under Tang Tian's defense in the opening game, Durant was defended by Tang Tian for two consecutive rounds, and he was cut off by a shot just now!

Is Durant strong?

The answer is yes, as evidenced by his 28 points per game this season.

But will Durant be guarded?

The answer is also yes.

The current Durant is far from the "Grim Reaper" of later generations, and before this season, he was a shooter who mainly focused on catch-and-shoot and air cuts.

What impressed him the most was that he was accurate.

Just shooting can average 27 points per game, which is Durant's strongest point.

But last year's Western Conference Finals met the Mavericks and was targeted to death by Carlisle.

This past offseason, he worked on his shooting skills and details under the basket, as well as his left-hand breakaway.

So it's no exaggeration to say that Durant is still in the beginning of learning basketball skills.

This is also the reason why he only used the move of breaking through on the left side to single out Tang Tian.

Because of his physical talent, he has been able to score points against others by relying on this move.

But for Tang Tian, it seems that it is a bit insufficient.

Durant didn't play well, and Westbrook stepped up at this time.

He used Perkins' block to throw himself into the air as a dynamite bag, forcing Blair to foul him.

He was knocked into the air, but he got up and flicked his arm and went to the free throw line like a nobody.

He hit both free throws and helped the Thunder bite the score.

The Spurs still played tactics in the frontcourt, Tang Tian didn't score a three-point catch, but Duncan won an offensive rebound and caused Ibaka's hitter to foul.

Also made both free throws, and the Spurs continued to hold a three-point lead.

The strength of the two teams is very close, and the game on the field is also extremely anxious.

Westbrook's strong burst didn't have a chance, he dribbled the ball back to the three-point line, and Durant began to run around the block without the ball, which is what he does best to score.

However, when he came out to catch the ball, Tang Tian bypassed the block one after another, still following him like a ghost, and when he made a shot, an aggressive steal attempt made his control of the ball very low.

His reluctant shot was noticeably short, knocking out on the front of the basket.

Durant missed three attacks in a row!

Tang Tian's defense really made Durant very uncomfortable on the court!

However, this is also the effect that Tang Tian wants, it is difficult for him to completely prevent Durant, and it is not even realistic, but it is completely possible to make Durant feel uncomfortable.

And uncomfortable, that's it!
