Chapter 47: Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988 in Washington, D.C., USA.

In the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft, he was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the second overall pick to play as a small forward.

There is no doubt that this is a great player, a genius born for basketball, and a figure who has left a strong mark in the history of human basketball.

In his rookie season in '07, he played at an epic rookie level, not much worse than a legendary star.

And his offensive skills, in just one season, have slowly revealed the prototype of the future.

According to Durant's official height information, his net height is 205 cm, his weight is 108 kg, and his arm span is 228 cm. Weight and arm span aside, in terms of height, children with weak minds can see that he lied about his height.

In fact, Durant's true height is two meters and one one, a height that can be qualified for a power forward or even a center. And at this height, his agility and speed are on par with that of an ordinary small forward......

Those who can be selected in the first round of the draft are all talents, and the players in the lottery are even more geniuses among talents.

And Durant's situation is undoubtedly the best.

It is said that the Thunder's uniform team has a vision for selecting Durant, but in fact, there is no need to think about it at all. Of the thirty teams in the league, pick any one and choose Durant.

As for the pioneers who chose Auden the Great?

Make no mistake, it's Auden the Great! In college, he showed the ability to dominate human basketball, but he was a better talent than Durant.

Well.

If it's not scrapped......

With a height of 2.11 meters and an arm span of 2.28 meters, what does this mean?

At the small forward position, no one can reach his knees and interfere with his shooting.

The big forward position is also completely true, the speed is crushing, and even strong shots are not so easy to cover.

It can be said that this extremely strong basketball physical talent is a solid foundation for Durant's future unsolvable offense

Coupled with his softer and softer touch and key ball ability, his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and a new league superstar has risen.

Chen Yu met Durant in his rookie training camp, which was close to a year.

They were all rookies at the time.

The difference is that Chen Yu is a reptile, while Durant is a dragon!

Breakthrough! Shooting! Ball control! Physical fitness!

Durant completely crushed many trial players, including Chen Yu.

Under his starlight, the entire trial ground, the root quilt has no meaning for Chen Yu's existence.

And half a year has passed.

Chen Yu, who once struggled to survive on the soles of Durant's feet, has become the only rookie who can challenge Durant. In six consecutive games, he averaged 20 plus per game, and the shooting rate was more than 90 percent!

Chen Yu has evolved from a reptile to a giant kun!

Just wait for this game to start and devour Durant, the dragon that has not yet grown!

This game is destined to be as fierce as a fire crashing into the earth.

8:30 p.m. local time in the United States.

After Durant and his teammates walked out of the locker room and through the players' tunnel, countless reporters flocked to put the microphone in Durant's face.

"Kevin! What do you think of the Hornets rookie who is the same as you in this game? ”

"Kevin, Chen Yu was selected as the Rookie of the Week, what do you think? Do you think it's a coincidence? ”

"Kevin ......"

Durant independently stretched out his hand to block the reporters around him, and said nonchalantly: "Chen is a very good player, I think I will try to prevent him, please let go, let go ......"

A white female reporter climbed off the railing of the audience, grabbed Durant's arm, and interviewed: "Kevin, you are rookies in the same period, do you think he will replace you as the No. 1 rookie in '07 in the future?" ”

"Is there a need to fight so hard...... Durant looked at the reporter who hugged him, shook his body and threw her down, and said expressionlessly: "Chen is an excellent player, and it is my luck to be in the same class as him, that's all." ”

With that, Durant walked into the arena and began to warm up.

"Smack!"

The lights of the stadium suddenly dimmed.

The Seattle SuperSonics began their daily player openings.

Driven by the excitement of the DJ on the spot, more than 10,000 spectators applauded and cheered.

Especially when Durant was introduced, the atmosphere of the scene reached a peak!

Kevin Durant deserves to be the hope of this team.

(Not the city's, because next year, the SuperSonics will ditch Seattle and reappear in Oklahoma to rebrand as the Thunder.) Hahaha. )

"Toot!"

With the on-site referee blowing the whistle, the New Orleans Hornets' away game against the Seattle SuperSonics officially began.

Today's Chen Yu is naturally still the starter.

It can be said that with the current situation of the Hornets, Chen Yu's starting position is untouchable.

Let's pity Peja for a minute again......

In the opening eight minutes, the score was 23-18.

The SuperSonics are five points behind.

And that's when the Hornets didn't use a three-point offense at all.

Chen Yu only assisted a goal, picked up a rebound, and did not make a single shot.

The Suns, Spurs, and Mavericks are used to competing against these strong teams, and the current supersonic is simply here to train in the eyes of the Hornets.

The current supersonic speed is not the thunder of the future who overcame all the obstacles to reach the finals all the way. Durant is in the position of small forward, although Chen Yu can't defend it, but the shooting rate is average, and it can't compete with the firepower of the Hornets at all.

Team sports need stars, but without the cooperation of excellent players to share the pressure, even if they are as strong as Jordan, they will not be able to achieve consecutive championships.

"Toot!"

The referee blew the whistle and the game went into an official timeout.

The players of both teams returned to the bench for their tallness.

"It's a lot of fun." As soon as Paul sat on the bench, he said excitedly to Chen Yu.

In eight minutes, Paul made four of five shots and four assists, and no one could stop him, so he was naturally too addicted.

"It's up to you, finish the game in the third quarter."

Chen Yu nodded and smiled: "No problem." ”

This was arranged in advance by Hornets head coach Scott.

Chen Yu came on the court to save his strength, waited for Paul and Chandler to rest, and led the other two main players to open up the point difference with the bench bandits! Fight for the end of the third quarter.

That's right, the current Hornets bench players can already be called bench bandits.

The rise of Chen Yu has undoubtedly deepened the thickness of the Hornets' bench lineup and allowed for more changes.

At the end of the timeout, players from both sides came on the field.

Chen Yu saw at a glance that Durant was still on the court.
