Chapter Twenty-Three: Fierce Battle for Durant

Next, supersonic ball possession.

Durant finally missed, and the basketball was cut from behind by Rich.

Warriors fast break.

Byron Davis made a long pass to Stephen Jackson and hit a layup.

Since then, the rhythm of the first half has completely followed the Warriors, and the SuperSonics have inevitably fallen behind.

The halftime score was 40:55, and the Warriors led by 15 points.

At halftime, Durant looked meaningfully at Li Zhi lying on the bench, the future league superstar, who felt lonely and powerless when he first entered the league.

Durant scored 12 points in the first half, but the SuperSonics still trailed the Warriors by as much as 15.

Don Nelson sat on the sidelines, pleased with the results of the new tactics.

"Byron, Monta Jr., Jackson, Harrington down, Belinelli, Barnes, Petrus, Azubuuk on."

On the court, Li Zhi was placed in the power forward position by Nelson, and the center was played by Petrus.

Nielsen decided to give these newcomers a chance to practice in the second half, after all, the preseason is still dominated by training.

Coming back in the second half, the SuperSonics also changed their lineup, but Durant, Jeff Green and Nick Collison were still on the court, and it seemed that the SuperSonics and the Warriors had the same idea of training rookies.

"Come on George!"

Scarlett's voice attracted Li Zhi's attention, and Li Zhi turned his head and looked at the two beauties Scarlett and Gal Gadot, completely ignoring the eyes of the people around them, standing up and cheering for Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, and suddenly felt subconsciously turn his head to look at Durant.

Durant has a dark face, chewing gum in his mouth, and he doesn't know what he's thinking!

Li Zhi said secretly in his heart: Scarlett, Scarlett, you goblin, you actually caused trouble for me.

The Warriors attacked, and Li Zhi received a pass from Azubuike and suddenly looked at Jeff Green on the side.

Li Zhi motioned for Belinelli to block him, and the defender in front of him became Jeff Green.

Jeff Green made defensive moves with a black face.

"Yellow boy, let me tell you, you're far worse than Kevin, you're a clown!"

"Oh? Is it? Li Zhi directly ignored Jeff Green's trash talk, and in his eyes Jeff Green was full of loopholes.

Li Zhi's feint broke through to the left, and under Li Zhi's super long arm span, the feint was unusually real.

Jeff Green involuntarily leaned forward, and Li Zhi held the ball and hit it.

The practice in these days has allowed Li Zhi to dribble with full growth, emergency stops, mid-distance shots, and ball in.

10 minutes.

Li Zhi waved his arm, his goal today was twenty points.

The next game was brilliant under the performances of Li Zhi and Durant, and the fans kept cheering.

No one expected that an ordinary preseason game would be able to see such a wonderful scoring battle.

The two teams have made it clear that they want to train newcomers, Durant was the core of this youth army from the beginning, Li Zhi was also favored by Nelson, and the two teams trusted that the defense was not very good, and there was indeed a hearty battle for points.

"Kevin Durant! Three points! ”

After Durant hit a three-point shot, he pulled his jersey fiercely, looking a little deadly.

"George Lee, answer ball! George Lee doesn't lose at all! ”

Li Zhi did not get carried away, jumped back to the backcourt, and signaled his teammates to return to defense.

"Two young rookies are crazy, one ignores the defense, can score above everyone's head, Durant has scored 25 points tonight, it's an incredible rookie!" The narrator said excitedly.

"George Lee on the other side is also completely true, scoring 8 points in the first half, 15 points in the second half, and 23 points!"

There was not much time in the game, and in one minute, the Warriors had already caught up with the score at supersonic speed.

93 flat.

Durant knew that time was running out, so he frantically hit the interior with the ball, and Barnes blocked Durant to the front and organized Durant to move forward.

"Foul! Block fouls! ”

When the referee's whistle blew, Matt Barnes raised his hand impatiently, looking remorseful.

Lee Chi patted Barnes on the back and told him to try to calm his anger.

Durant chewed gum and raised an eyebrow at Li Zhi, who smiled helplessly.

First goal, medium.

Second Goal ......

Lost.

Matt Barnes pushed Nick Collison behind him and grabbed the rebound.

Seeing this, Collison pounced, and the basketball in Barnes' arms was stabbed off under the bag between Jeff Green and Collison.

Li Zhi instantly pounced on the basketball, and Jeff Green grabbed the basketball at the same time.

"Scrum!"

The baseline referee pointed to Li Zhi and Jeff Green on the ground.

Jeff Green is 2.06 meters, three centimeters taller than Li Zhi, and can jump to basketball to a large extent.

But he didn't want Li Zhi's bounce power to be amazing, so he bent his knees and went up.

The bloodline was activated instantly, and Li Zhi grabbed the basketball racket in the air and gave it to Barnes on the opposite side, Barnes didn't expect Li Zhi to jump to the ball, and heard Li Zhi's cry in a daze.

"Run!"

Barnes dribbled towards half court, followed by Durant's pursuit.

It's close, it's right in front of you, and the opportunity to make meritorious service is now.

Barnes jumped up, stretched out, and dodged in the gaze of the crowd.

Throws the basketball to the basket.

A big hand fell from the sky and pressed the basketball on the rebound, and the basketball was instantly fanned out of bounds by Durant.

"Durant! Top plate hat from Durant! ”

Durant landed on the ground and roared in the sky.

There are 15 seconds left.

Li Zhi looked at the time.

Nelson lined up the tactical board and told everyone that it consumes time to catch the ball, and if you shoot at the last moment, you can force your shot to hit the basket if it doesn't work, and try not to make mistakes.

Li Zhi serves, the whistle blows, and Li Zhi instantly stuffs the ball straight to Azubuuk.

Petrus blocked, Azubuuk broke through, and Jeff Green and Earl Watson came up.

Azubuk made a hit pass, and the ball came to Li Zhi.

"There's no time!"

Li Zhi had to choose to shoot, and the defender in front of him was Durant.

Li Zhi broke through, but the breakthrough technology was not at home, and Durant's firm long arm covered Li Zhi.

Well?

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and Belinelli was empty.

Belinelli received the ball without hesitation and shot, three points that he practiced countless times, the same position.

Bottom corner, three points.

Lore!

"Oh my God! Li Zhi passed the ball out in a desperate situation, and Belinelli threw in the stunner! Two rookies killed the game! ”

The whole Warriors team was very excited, and the "big guys" on the bench made all kinds of strange celebrations.

Li Zhi and Belinelli slammed into the air in celebration as a gesture of celebration.

Belinelli proved himself!

This young man from Europe is shining on the field at this time.

Durant looked at Li Zhi and the others who were celebrating wildly, and sighed with his waist crossed.

He didn't lose to anyone, 36 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, extremely dazzling statistics.

Everyone was looking forward to what kind of changes this tall and lanky man would bring to the league.

Li Zhi also performed well tonight, with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, and an assist in the last moment.
