Chapter 54: Defending Durant

Horn acted as the team's vanguard in the first half, leaving the Thunder helpless.

In the second half, the Thunder took advantage of Horn's absence, Durant suddenly jumped out to make a threat, Durant stepped back and made a jumper, the Golden Rooster read a jumper, and turned around to shoot a variety of jumpers The Hornets hit the chicken and the dog jumped.

The Hornets defense without Horn is really bad, and once Durant starts playing, Westbrook also begins to untie a few consecutive shots to widen the gap between the two teams.

At 83:71, the Hornets trailed by 12 points in the second half of the third quarter, but Ball still replaced Horne.

At this time, Meyers immediately said keenly: "Now the Hornets can't do without Horn, and they must go to Horn when they encounter a tough battle." ”

"Horn is very good on both ends of the floor! Not without Horn for sure! ”

Chris Webb himself is a big forward with a frame, so he likes Horn very much.

Horn was back on the court, and at this point Horn was happy when he looked at the Thunder's defense. In the first half, the Thunder's defense against their team was gone, and the Thunder are happy now, a little bit forgotten about defense, and the young team is like this.

Paul now trusts Horn so much that he came over and passed the ball directly to Horn, who smiled at the defender's Ibaka. Small, you looked down on me before the game, and now I'll let you know who Daddy is?

Horn faced Ibaka and flashed to the left, then dribbled to the right to pass Ibaka and hit near the basket Horn threw a shot through Kostic.

"Brush!"

Horn came up and had an immediate effect, abusing Ibaka with a ball first.

Ibaka now wants to die, and this Horn is simply his nemesis! His invincible defense in the past was useless in front of him.

The Thunder conceded a goal, but their offense was gaining momentum. Durant took the ball at this time or a big attack, and at this time, the Thunder launched their most complex offensive tactics Durant and Ibaka's high blocking.

In the past, these two people must have been misplaced with Durant's physical characteristics, but at this time, a block came and Horn immediately pasted Durant's face.

Horn may be a little slower than Durant, but it's only a little, the two are about the same height, and Horn still has an advantage in strength. In this way, Durant was difficult to play, dribbling two steps back and shooting shots, still not dodging Horn's defense.

The world-famous, Durant who met everyone was misplaced and deflated here in Horn! There's finally someone in the universe who can stop Durant's shots.

When the whole court saw Horn's defense, they were completely stupid. Horn actually blocked Durant, which is the kind of defense in the real sense, not the reason why Durant himself feels bad.

The ball didn't hit, Durant also felt a deep shock, in the past, someone could defend himself to put pressure on his body, but now this Horn is indeed covering his face, he actually has the same speed and height as himself, which is a deadly threat.

Brooks' eyes widened in infinite horror, he knew how ** his disciple was, and now there was an identical **, and he actually followed Durant and prevented Durant, which was simply impossible.

Chris Webb also screamed at this time; "Horn defended Durant, and from now on Durant has an opponent!"

Webb's scream broke everyone's hearts, Durant is cured, he is no longer in the right place and everyone is out of place, and he will be in trouble against Horn.

At this time, even if Ball was stupid enough to understand what was going on, he immediately shouted on the side: "Horn, you go to defend Durant, you go to defend Durant!" ”

Don't look at Westbrook's fierce fight, the Thunder also have to look at Durant, if they can choke Durant, the Hornets still have hope today.

On the offensive end, the Thunder reacted slowly, and they couldn't withstand the blow of Durant encountering opponents. When Horn came out to get the ball, they also used Ibaka to defend Horn, Ibaka was already scared by Horn's beating, and Horn also successfully defended Durant, how could Ibaka have the confidence to defend Horn.

Horn stepped forward a little and he took a big step back, and there was room for such a big step that Horn raised his hand and hit a mid-range shot.

"Brush!"

Horn started eating Xuanmai again and couldn't stop.

Horn is effective on the offensive end, and defending the opponent's arrowhead on the defensive end is already an absolute key point on the court.

The Thunder hit again, but Durant still didn't believe in evil, took the ball and faced Horn and directly began to use his ball control skills.

Durant was supposed to be a player who played more without the ball, but Westbrook didn't give the ball at all when he played without the ball. The forced Durant can only practice this ball handling skills by himself, and meeting a bad teammate is definitely an improvement for himself.

In terms of ball control, Durant is indeed stronger than Horn, and Horn can only do two simple ball-changing roles. Durant can change direction with one hand in front of Horn, dribble the ball under his crotch, and then turn around behind his back.

Durant played such a set of difficult moves with a height of 2.10 meters, and the average player would have been blinded for a long time, but Horn was not afraid, Horn was only a little slower than Durant, and his height was not bad, as long as he didn't eat big feints and kept his position, Durant would be difficult. As a defensive player, Horn is extremely positionally sensitive, and he stands firmly in position, moving in small steps, and never loses his position.

In this way, Durant can only forcibly break through Horn, Horn sticks forward when Durant breaks through, sticking to Durant, at this time Durant is used to throwing his hand high, which is Durant's unsolvable trick.

Horn hurriedly interfered at this time: "Bang! "Horn interfered with Durant, and Durant still didn't get used to someone who could be at the same altitude as him and about his speed.

"It's down again!"

Chris Webb screamed, and Meyers couldn't help but sigh; "Horn is really a Durant killer!"

Durant was also extremely unhappy with Horn's defense, and he had never encountered such a thing.

The whole Thunder team saw that Durant was once again guarded by Horn, and they also had a feeling that the spiritual pillar had collapsed. Although Westbrook is also the absolute star of the team, whoever regards him as a spiritual pillar must be insane.

Ball saw great hope here, he didn't expect Horn to be of such a good use, shouting on the side to cheer the team up.

Horne's continuous success in stopping the opponent's arrows is indeed a very, very morale boost, although the score is still behind on the Hornets' side, but the momentum suddenly comes up.

When it came to the Thunder's half again, the Thunder didn't dare to relax a little bit as soon as Horn got the ball, and they immediately formed a team to defend Horn.

At this time, Horn saw that the other party beat himself one by one, and he couldn't rush up to suffer this loss, so he turned back and gave Paul to reorganize.

Paul's ability to disrupt the opponent's defense was first-class, he rushed in to disrupt the defense, Horn ran quickly on the side to look for opportunities, and finally Horn still found an opportunity, took the ball and shot quickly to score two points.

Horn doesn't make mistakes on the offensive end and is very unsolvable. On the defensive end, it was immediately posted in front of Durant again.

At this time, if the Thunder have an offensive system, it will not be a big problem for Horn to add to Durant's defense. But the Thunder's offense is simple even kindergarten friends can do, and Horn easily makes Durant very unhappy.

Durant also made mistakes, although he was the greatest young man in the league, and in a hurry, Durant changed his direction and lost the ball.

Horne grabbed the basketball, then turned around and passed the ball to Paul, Paul took the ball and quickly connected to Horn, Horne turned back and passed to Ariza, who raised his hand for a three-pointer, and the morale of the Hornets was completely improved.

Once the morale of the Hornets is improved, the offensive and defensive ends are much smoother, compared to the smoothness of the Hornets, the Thunder are in big trouble, for a team like the Thunder that only relies on individual offense, a main force is stopped, and their entire offense is stagnant. Without a good system, relying on the performance of one or two people really can't be considered stable.

After the Thunder, the offense was affected, and the consecutive shots missed, and Westbrook, who was in adversity, began to dare to fight again! But because of this, the Hornets took advantage of the situation to design several defensive traps for him, so that Westbrook's hard work turned into scum.

Westbrook is a very cute person, the more he hinders him, the more he fights, and the more he fights, the more Wasp likes it. In the end, Westbrook made Ball happily hand over several turnovers, and the Hornets overtook the Thunder with these statistics, and then won the game.

After the game, the Thunder still didn't come out of the defeat, because Horn's defense of Durant was too much of a shock for them.

After the game, Chris Webb also said: "Today's game is just a normal regular season game, but it will be an epoch-making game for the Thunder. Their stars have finally met their opponents, and I'm looking forward to their second meeting from now on! ”

Meyers also said: "Horn's performance today will definitely move all the teams in the West, he will be a monster. From now on, I don't doubt that he will be able to catch up with Anthony. It's true! ”

Horn's wonderful performance was of course voted the best player of the day, and in an interview after the game, Horn was also very humble in the face of reporters' questions: "Durant is a good player, the two of us have some characteristics in common, which is a good thing for us." I think Durant would think the same way! ”

"As for what you said about Ibaka's opinion of me, I don't think I'm someone who would change other people's opinions with his mouth. I will use my actions most of the time and hopefully Ibaka will remember my actions today! ”

Horn had 25 points and 11 rebounds on Ibaka today, and the reporter smiled heartily when he heard Horn say that.
