After the Spurs took the lead, Russell Westbrook took the basketball from the baseline and began to quickly advance to the frontcourt, but after passing through the center circle, Russell Westbrook found that it was Kawhi Leonard who defended him, not Tony Parker as Westbrook expected, in the face of Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook has a way to deal with him, but in the face of Kawhi Leonard, Westbrook has very few means at his disposal.

Although Kawhi Leonard doesn't look strong, he is an orthodox swing man, so Westbrook's bulldozer-style breakthrough in the face of almost all organizational guards in the league is impossible to use, because he may not necessarily hit Leonard, and because Kawhi Leonard is a well-known long-armed monster, coupled with the advantage of height, it is still very difficult for Westbrook to shoot in front of him, and Leonard moves well and his close defense is also top-notch. So the moment Kawhi Leonard posted it, Westbrook's brow furrowed, and it was very challenging to break down Kawhi Leonard's defense.

The Thunder's offense has not yet begun, the Spurs' defensive strategy is already very obvious, Kawhi Leonard defends Russell Westbrook, Meng Xu defends Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan sits under the basket, the Spurs' defensive strategy today is to focus on defense, with Meng Xu and Leonard, who have the best single defense ability, to limit the Thunder's two outside cores, as for Sapo Sofrosa and Sergi Ibaka, who have average offensive ability, they can only rely on Tony Parker and Burris Dior to defend casually.

After two unsuccessful attempts at the breakaway, Russell Westbrook handed the basketball to Sapo Soflosa, who was closest to him, and Sapo Sofrosa did not attack with the ball after receiving it, but transferred the basketball to Kevin Durant.

"Whew..." After receiving the ball, Kevin Durant, while slapping the basketball sideways, looked at Meng Xu in front of him and exhaled deeply.

As the object that Durant has always wanted to surpass, Meng Xu is the person who has been studied by Durant the most, so when Meng Xu posted it, Durant became extremely cautious, the NBA historical steal king is not covered, plus Durant's body has a high center of gravity, and he is easy to make mistakes or be broken when he breaks through, so when facing Meng Xu's defense, Durant is even more energetic.

Although he is also a small forward, Durant's height is much higher than Meng Xu, so when defending Durant, Meng Xu took close defense, and when he tried to turn around, he pressed his waist with his arm in a hidden position to prevent him from shooting for the first purpose, Durant had a height advantage in front of Meng Xu, but there was no advantage in strength and movement speed, so when Durant's turning attempt was repeatedly destroyed by Meng Xu, Durant could only force Meng Xu to turn around, Then take advantage of his height to step back and shoot.

With a height of more than 2.10 meters, coupled with a super long arm span, Durant's jump shot after stepping back is simply impossible to defend, but the jump shot after stepping back is not Durant's conventional offensive means, this is Durant's last choice under duress, and at present, it can be seen that Meng Xu is the only one who can force Durant to use a step-back jump shot.

Durant's three-point shooting rate is still very good, but this kind of step-back step outside the three-point line is a little difficult for Durant, because Durant has never tried to shoot at this distance in the game, at most, he is practicing and playing when he is training.

So when Durant jumped and didn't shoot the basketball yet, Durant was already a little apprehensive in his heart, but when Durant saw Meng Xu jumping up against him, Durant was not apprehensive, but surprised, because Meng Xu's jump height and palm position were enough to seal Durant's shooting trajectory.

Durant, who was frightened, wanted to make a lever action in his mind to avoid Meng Xu's block, but Durant's body couldn't keep up with his brain, just when Durant wanted to avoid Meng Xu's block by leaning back, Durant's body in the air had already begun to fall, and in desperation, Durant could only barely throw it in his hand towards the high point.

Before his body landed, Durant saw that the basketball thrown by himself was hit hard by Meng Xu's palm, and seeing this scene, Durant's brain instantly went blank.

"Oh, this is really incredible, Meng Xu actually blocked Kevin Durant's shot face to face!" When Meng Xu, who landed on the ground, trotted all the way to pick up the basketball that he slapped in the front court, and scored with one hand, Kenny Smith on the sideline commentary bench jumped up from his seat excitedly.

When Meng Xu hadn't gotten off the basket, on the big central screen of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, it began to play the slow motion that Meng Xu had just blocked Durant, and in the Thunder's attack just now, almost at the moment when Durant stepped back, Meng Xu quickly pasted it, and then at the same time as Durant jumped, Meng Xu jumped up against Durant, although his height occupies an absolute advantage, but Durant after stepping back can't give full play to his jumping ability. So there was the scene where Meng Xu blocked Durant just now, and most of the audience at the scene, after seeing the slow motion on the big screen, issued a series of exclamations in their hearts.

"What a fast bounce speed, such a high bounce, so strong air time!"

After playing it twice in a row on the big screen, the thunder fans who reacted began to boo Meng Xu who came down from the basket, but Meng Xu, who completed the dunk, didn't care about these boos, but opened his arms to signal them to boo a little louder, and the fans at the scene, after seeing Meng Xu's gesture, the boos became louder and louder, and even more, some extreme fans had already spewed words starting with F towards Meng Xu.

"BOSS, YOUR CLOSURE IS FANTASTIC." Kewai-Leonard, who launched a counterattack with Meng Xu, ran towards Meng Xu when Meng Xu opened his arms to celebrate, showed a rare smile, and high-fived each other with Meng Xu in celebration.

Although Meng Xu is now Leonard's teammate, whether it is in competition training or in daily life, Leonard calls Meng Xu the boss, no matter how Meng Xu corrects it, he can't change it, and after a long time, Meng Xu will no longer correct him.

Just when Meng Xu and Leonard were high-five and cheering, Kevin Durant, who had just retreated to the vicinity of the middle circle, was stunned in place with a gloomy face.

"Kevin, are you alright?" Russell Westbrook, who retreated from the Spurs' half, asked him with concern after seeing Durant staring at Meng Xu in the distance.

"I'm fine." After turning his head and smiling at Westbrook, Durant signaled to Westbrook that it was their turn to attack.
