Chapter Thirty-Seven: Double Killing Thunder, Yuan Zhou's Note

"That's right, I'm Yuan Shu, the very arrogant Yuan Shu's Yuan Shu." Yuan Shu, who played in the first quarter, also began to spew trash talk to the Thunder players.

"This guy has a personality!" A few years later, when a media reporter interviewed Owen, when asked what he thought of this former teammate, Owen replied, "If you want to find a player in this league whose attitude is sometimes more arrogant than me, but who can make me surrender willingly, there is only one, and that player is Yuan Shu." ”

"Is this a tribute to Yao Ming?" Kenny Smith saw a hint of the clue and put forward his opinion to Barkley, "Don't you think that Yuan Shu's hook hand on the court, rollover and back-to-back jumper, and even the feints under the basket are 100% like Yao Ming's style of play?" ”

"Yao is not as good as Yuan, who can run and jump." After Charles Barkley finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "But I agree with you, this guy Yuan, is it because he returned to China, so he is paying tribute to his big brother with Yao Ming's scoring method?" ”

What Smith and Barkley don't know is that what Yuan Shu is using at the moment is indeed Yao Ming's basketball skills, not imitation, but 100% real material.

At the end of the first quarter, Yuan Shu actually hit 7 of 7 shots, which made Ibaka, who was defending in the opposite position, feel embarrassed.

After relying on the scoring method under the basket in the first quarter to crush the best interior players of the Thunder team, Yuan Shu used Yao Ming's mid-range shooting and strategy ability in the second quarter, if Yuan Shu's basketball skills in the first quarter were the pinnacle of the Van Gundy era, then the basketball skills used in the second quarter were the peak moments of Yao Ming in the Adelman era.

Because Yao Ming's mid-range shooting skills are already very good, coupled with Yuan Shu's current "mid-shot" attribute value of up to 80 points and the "Richard Hamilton mask" he wears, Yuan Shu's mid-range shooting in the second quarter ended with a 100% hit again, which made Ibaka, who followed from the inside, not only failed to defend Yuan Shu, but also made the Thunder's interior vacuum.

Perkins is a stump-type interior lineman, and defending and blocking in the air is not his strong suit. Thanks to Yuan Shu's outside flank and containment, Irving began to take over the banner of offense, although Westbrook's speed and explosiveness are no worse than Irving's, but if compared to kung fu and feints, Irving, who has been playing on the street court since he was a child, can beat Westbrook.

In the second half of the second quarter, Irving once scored 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting in a row, 2 of which were 3-pointers, and 2 were broken through to the inside to face Perkins' layup, becoming another Cavaliers player who went crazy after Yuan Shu in this game.

"Charles, remember the rockets of the Yao era? At that time, there was still Tracy McGrady standing next to Yao Ming, just like Yuan Shu and Carey now, but it seems that the power of the combination of the two of them is much more powerful than the Yao Mai combination that people had high hopes for at that time. Smith explained his point of view based on the game on the court.

At this time, the Thunder team was attacking, Durant forced a breakthrough through Leonard's defense, but at the moment when he was close to the basket and ready to go to the basket, Leonard, who was quick-eyed, cut off the ball and quickly passed it to Irving to organize a counterattack, Yuan Shu and Irving quickly went down the fast attack, Westbrook and Sofrosa immediately returned to defense, forming a 2v2 situation.

When the four of them approached the Thunder's half-court basket, Irving threw the ball into the air, but Westbrook and Soflosa unexpectedly felt that the ball was passed very outrageously, because Yuan Shu, who was on the other side of the basket under Soflosa's marking, could not jump up directly and leap over Sofrosa stuck in front of him and directly catch the ball for an empty dunk.

But at this time, Leonard, who had just successfully stolen Durant, appeared in the air path of Irving's pass, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and dunked it cleanly into the basket.

"It's three people." After seeing the Cavaliers' fast attack, Barkley said, "Unlike the Yao Mai era, in addition to Yuan and Kaili, there is also Kehuai, and they form a young, potential and powerful trio!" ”

After Leonard hit an empty dunk, the Cavaliers actually led the Thunder by 25 points near the end of the second quarter.

"I don't think there's something wrong with the Thunder, I originally thought that this overseas regular season was two evenly matched games, but the difference in performance on the court was so big, it was beyond my expectations." Barkley said, with a disgruntled look on his face, staring at the scoreboard on the side of the court.

"I guess if I were the Thunder, I wouldn't be able to accept the sudden surge in the strength of the Cavaliers. If they had played against the Spurs or the Heat, I'm afraid they wouldn't have played like this, but they were up against the Cavaliers, a team that was pressed under them last season, and they weren't mentally ready. I think after these two games, the Thunder should have come to their senses and can't play with last season's glasses anymore. "Smith has a heartfelt suggestion for the Thunder.

In the lively atmosphere of the fans, the first half was over, and the Cavaliers led the Thunder by 26 points in the first half, and the advantage was even greater than the first confrontation in Japan, and Smith and Barkley agreed that the Thunder had no chance based on the performance of both sides in the first half.

Sure enough, in the second half of the game, although the Thunder team made a desperate gamble and fought back with all their might, they still couldn't make up for the big hole dug in the first half, 128-102, the Cavaliers defeated the Thunder again at the Shanghai Pudong Stadium, and won the double kill against the Thunder team in the Asian overseas regular season, which also made Durant, who boasted about Haikou's strength of the Cavaliers a little disdainful at the pregame press conference in Japan, very embarrassed.

After the game, the scene seemed to have become a sea of fans again, for this wonderful game, the fans on the scene were still reluctant to leave, Yuan Shu was surrounded by the Chinese cheerleaders at the door of the backstage locker room, and met their requirements for taking photos and signing hugs one by one.

"Yuan is really popular, why don't I have any peach blossom luck." Vallejo looked at Yuan Shu, who was enthusiastically surrounded by many long legs, and couldn't help but talk to himself with envy.

At this time, Vallejo suddenly felt someone poke his waist, and when he looked back, a sweet-looking beauty appeared in front of him.

"It turns out that I don't have a market!" The excited Vallejo immediately put on a gentlemanly smile, stroked his chicken nest hairstyle with his left hand, and said softly to the beauty: "This beauty, what is the name, is there anything I can help with?" ”

The beauty showed a shy smile and said, "Everyone calls me a vegetable cat, and I am here to deliver a note to Mr. Yuan Shu for Mr. Yuan Zhou." ”

After saying that, the beautiful woman who claimed to be called a rookie cat handed a note to Valejo, who had an embarrassed expression, and sent a sweet smile, before turning away.

Vallejo held the note in his hand, looking at the direction in which the beauty left, and his mood was a little indescribable, when he suddenly slapped his right shoulder.

"Hey, what's going on? Which little girl did you like again? ”

Vallejo turned around and saw that Yuan Shu had already sent the group of cheerleaders, so he angrily sent a note to Yuan Shu's hand and said, "A beautiful woman asked me to give it to you, Yuan Shu, it seems that you are going to be lucky again." ”

Yuan Shu unfolded the note with a surprised expression, was suddenly stunned, and then seemed to sound something, and said to Valejo with a smile: "Do you want to taste the best food in China?" ”
