Generally speaking, before each rookie is drafted, the major draft sites will give them their best and worst templates, but Durant does not. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThroughout the history of the NBA, you can hardly find such a freak, but now Ye Feng is going to defend such an unprecedented guy.

To tell the truth, Ye Feng has a lot of headaches for Durant, and he would rather be tested by Tony Allen on the offensive end than face this opponent who is a head taller than him on the defensive end. This is not the seventh game against the Lakers when he plays as a center, Durant is tall, but in addition to the necessary back-to-back singles, the ball-carrying breakthrough and pull-up jumper are his preferred weapons, which is not something that an interior player can do.

The height of the inside line, the skills of the outside line, especially the position of playing small forward, Ye Feng really didn't know how to deal with it, so in the days before the start of the Western Conference Finals, in addition to the necessary team training, he basically watched the video at the rest of the time, especially the series between the Thunder and the Grizzlies.

In the whole series, Durant did have three brilliant performances of 30+, but at the same time, he also had the dilemma of scoring only 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting. Obviously, the Grizzlies have a way to restrict Durant, but these methods are okay with one or two methods, but they can't be used again and again, and Ye Feng doesn't plan to copy them all, just give him a little inspiration, now he is simply clueless, and he doesn't know where to start.

After watching the video many times, Ye Feng probably summed up two points, one is to cut off other people, especially Westbrook's route to Durant, which can allow Durant to catch the ball and then create opportunities, but must not let him receive the ball directly when he is in an open position.

The other is to try to find physical confrontation, Durant is indeed talented, regardless of height, reach, bounce, and speed are the top in the league, but he is still too thin, which may be the fundamental reason why he often uses dry pull-up jumpers, because dry pull-up has a strong suddenness, and if used well, it does not give defenders time to react at all. Disrupting his rhythm with physical confrontation is also a highly feasible and good solution.

Ye Feng is very confident in his judgment, plus his own talent is also good, he is confident that he will not lose to Durant in bouncing or something, so after watching the video and getting his experience, he has an urge to compete with Durant, and by the way, verify whether his idea is correct.

It is true that the Thunder are a youth army, but their pace is not as fast as expected, and the average of 104.8 points per game in the regular season is an obvious statistic, which can only be said that Durant and Westbrook are too strong, often accounting for most of the team's scoring, in fact, their overall firepower is not strong.

So McMillan didn't field the small lineup against the Lakers, but still returned to the traditional starter, Miller and Camby didn't play much in the last few games of the last series, which gave them more rest time in disguise, and also made the two veterans physically strong enough for the next games. Brooks also used the previous starting lineup, still put Harden on the bench, and then appeared with the starters at critical moments.

McMillan is not afraid of such an arrangement, the Trail Blazers' rotation lineup firepower is not weak, not to mention that Batum has grown up as a substitute player, even the dual point guard combination of Mills and Fernandez can contribute points to the team, and he hasn't taken it to heart just one Harden.

On May 17, local time, the first game of the Western Conference Finals was held at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland. Before that, all the tickets for this game were sold out, and a ticket with a slightly better position in the hands of scalpers had been sold to hundreds of dollars, but there were still people asking for the price. Obviously, everyone thinks that the Trail Blazers vs Thunder is a battle of dragons and tigers, and the two most promising youth teams in the West meet in the Western Conference Finals, which is a rare matchup.

Although Perkins, the Thunder's starting center, has an age advantage and a championship, his bounce is significantly inferior to that of the aging Camby, and the first offense of the game was initiated by the Trail Blazers. This time, Ye Feng did not take the initiative to ask for the ball, and it was the orthodox playmaker Miller who was responsible for organizing the attack, and he attracted the defense and gave the ball to Aldridge in the right elbow area, who hit a mid-range shot before Ibaka could return to the defense.

Ye Feng didn't want to dump the blame on Miller, he has been carefully watching the Thunder's No. 35, and he is also his most difficult opponent to deal with in this round of the series, Durant. He had to admit that this guy was really tall, and his two long legs made him move fast, but he wasn't an easy guy to handle.

Sure enough, the Thunder's first offense, Westbrook took the ball across the half court and gave it directly to Durant, which is rare for him to pass the ball directly. But in fact, he also wanted to see who was stronger between the two good friends, originally he thought that Miller would hand over the ball to Ye Feng to deal with in the last round, so that he could see it, but he didn't expect that it was Aldridge who helped the Trail Blazers score in the end, you don't want to play, I'll play it!

Facing Durant, who was more than half a head taller than himself, Ye Feng directly went up, his strategy was to let go of the sudden and not let go, and resolutely not give Durant a chance to shoot, even if he wanted to shoot, it was not so easy, and he had to be careful of being directly blocked.

Durant lowered his center of gravity, and after a continuous change of direction in front of his body, he quickly took a big step to the right, blocking Ye Feng behind him in a flash of light. Such a swift first step surprised Ye Feng, it seems that Durant has also been aroused to be competitive, in the regular season, he may directly pass the ball to his teammates in the face of Ye Feng's defense, and now he undoubtedly wants to prove himself in front of experts and fans.

However, Ye Feng really couldn't do anything about him, and he could only follow closely after being broken through, after all, Durant's legs were too long, and his stride was more than many players in the league, and he reached the deep position of the inside line in two steps, and Camby under the basket had to make up for it. Durant slowed down while masterfully handling the ball, but that didn't mean he was going to give up on the break, but rather to start the prelude to the European step.

Ye Feng was right behind him, watching Durant flash to the other side of Camby in two steps, lightly stretching his ape arm, and directly picking the ball into the basket, all in one go, and ignoring the Trail Blazers' defense as nothing. After landing, Durant didn't even look at Ye Feng, and turned around and ran directly to his own half.
