Chapter 32: Supersound

When thinking of trades, McHale first thought of the old men on the team, such as pension players like Ratliff, but when he thought of Ratliff's expiring contract, he forced this idea down.

McHale's second thought was to trade this year's No. 7 pick, Corebrewer. In fact, Cory Brewer is in an awkward position in the team right now, on the one hand, as the No. 3 position, the team already has Gossman and Zheng Ke, the two of them are now attacking and defending at the No. 3 position, and on the other hand, as the No. 4 position, the team's boss Al-Jefferson needs at least 35 minutes per game. He now only gives him a certain amount of playing time when the team needs a big or four small lineup, which makes his agent very unhappy, and Cory Brewer's agent has protested to McHale more than once, because the short and stocky black man can't stand the fact that Cory Brewer, who is the No. 7 pick this year, doesn't have as many minutes as a second-round pick, despite that second-round show.

But McHale also thought that after all, Cory Brewer was the high-quality forward he selected in the summer draft this year, so the team didn't even choose potential centers Noah, Hawes, etc., so it would be too embarrassing to trade Brewer out.

McHale thought about it and kept changing the player information in his hand, and Zuihou circled three people on the player list, McCantz, Anthony Walker, and Mark Jarrich!

McHale is trying to figure out a way, and Whitman, the head coach of the Timberwolves, is also sad, as a "rookie" of a new head coach, Whitman has been under a lot of pressure, on the one hand, he wants to become a famous coach, on the other hand, the team has a bad record. After the Timberwolves' seven-game losing streak, Whitman made a harsh remark during the team's training camp, who will drag the team back in the next game against the supersonic at the bottom of the West, then, hum

On December 14, the Timberwolves host the Seattle SuperSonics.

The SuperSonics, who are in trouble with the Timberwolves, also lost their star Ray Allen this summer, but they were lucky enough to pick the top pick and pick the talented and promising 19-year-old small forward Kevin Durant.

This year's No. 1 pick was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers, who wept with joy and did not hesitate to select the big man known as the once-in-50-year Auden the Great, but unfortunately, in September, Oden was found to have signs of cartilage damage in his knee and missed the entire season. After Oden's injury, Durant became the de facto champion in the 07 world, and his performance was indeed eye-catching, averaging 21 points and 5.1 rebounds per game so far, and he was the undisputed first among the rookies in this class, even if compared to the scoring ability of some famous stars.

However, the SuperSonics are now even weaker than the Timberwolves, their record is currently ranked first in the league, and they have lost six in a row, and they see this game as a must-win game, because in their eyes, the Timberwolves are the same fish belly team as them, and they have a certain strength to beat the Timberwolves.

Two teams, one with seven consecutive defeats and one with six consecutive defeats, grinding fists and competing against each other!

###################################

Zheng Ke first saw Durant on the court, they politely shook hands and hugged before the game, Zheng Ke's bare feet were two meters and one meters tall, but when he stood in front of Durant, he obviously felt that he was a lot shorter than the thin man in front of him, and he couldn't help but ask Durant

"Kevin, how tall are you, you look taller than our inside!"

Durant smiled shyly: "The net height seems to be two meters and eight, as tall as Al (Jefferson)." ”

Zheng Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes, this height is used to play on the outside, so how can many defenders who are getting shorter and shorter now! In fact, Zheng Ke also knows that Durant's height in the future will be more than 2.08 meters, and later generations have seen a report that says that Durant is 2.13 meters tall and has an arm span of more than 2.30 meters.

Any outside line of normal height will be very painful to encounter an outside line with the size of a standard power forward like Durant, and Zheng Ke is too, the first drop of blood after the start of the game is contributed, and Durant scored two points directly on Zheng Ke's head with a dry jumper.

After the game started, Durant lost the shyness he had before the game, his eyes were very focused, his expression was solemn like a pilgrimage, and there was no celebration after hitting the two points, and that calm appearance reminded Zheng Ke of the Buddha of San Antonio.

The first wave of the Timberwolves' offense was handed over to the team's boss Jefferson, and the player who defended him was Kurt Thomas, a typical blue-collar man with a single offensive approach, mainly a mid-range jumper, and his height of only 2.05 meters, which is slightly shorter than most of the league's interior lines, and he stood firm with his tough low-post defense. At the beginning of the game, Jefferson's hand was average, and the hook of his left hand after a half-turn was deflected, smashed into the basket, and was picked up by supersonic center Chris Wilcox.

In the starting lineup of the Timberwolves, a large and four small lineup was enabled, with Cory Brewer as the starting power forward, and the height was more disadvantaged, and the average height of the Timberwolves on the court was far lower than that of the SuperSonics, because the SuperSonics looked like they had three interior players on the court.

Zheng Ke is still relatively familiar with Durant, and now Durant has not grown up, but he has just shown the temperament of a top scorer in the future, the three-point shooting rate is not very high, and the shooting is not very stable, judging from the data observed by the eye of the sky, the comprehensive strength is only 82, the offensive score is 85, and the defensive score is 74.

Zheng Ke has unknowingly played against many of the NBA's top scorers, he has defended Kobe, James, Iverson, and Anthony, all of whom have a rating of more than 90 points, and with Zheng Ke's current strength, he can cause strong shooting interference and defensive pressure on Durant.

Durant's next three shots were all hit by Zheng Ke's interference, Zheng Ke may not be able to cover Durant, but Zheng Ke also has two relatively long arms, Durant can't shake Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke's eyes were sealed by the shot, and he played very hot for a while.

On the contrary, the Timberwolves fired a series of shots from the outside, McCantz hit two three-pointers in a row, and Telfair, who didn't even have a high three-point shooting percentage, actually scored a three-pointer, and after 15-6, the SuperSonics immediately asked for a timeout amid the cheers of the fans in the stadium.

"Good job, boys!" Whitman clapped his hands and took the lead in applauding the generals who came down from the field, and in turn high-fived his beloved disciples.

PJ Calesimo is the current head coach of the SuperSonics, he is a standard college coach, and he used to be an assistant coach of the American Dream Team, but now he is worried about the team's record. The Timberwolves are not strong, this is what he knows, and if he wants to end the team's six-game losing streak, he must start with a victory over the Timberwolves.

As a result, the team was beaten 15-6 by the Timberwolves in the first 4 minutes, but he believes that the problem is not with the superSonics, but with the Timberwolves' outside touch is a bit hot. Called this timeout, he just wanted to interrupt the Timberwolves' hot touch, and at the same time he told Doredno that Damion Wilkins should strengthen his outside defense and not let the Timberwolves guard easily shoot on the outside.

################################

Zheng Ke didn't understand what the SuperSonics' white-bearded old coach said to the SuperSonics, but after coming back, the SuperSonics' Ridno hit a three-pointer from Wilcox's cover.

The Timberwolves didn't have the same shooting percentage from the outside, and after Telfair and McCantz each tried to miss a three-pointer, they took the initiative to give the ball to Jefferson on the inside, hoping to open up the situation from the inside.

Jefferson took the ball with his back at 45 degrees, Cott Thomas was close behind, Jefferson took the ball with his right hand and shook it, Thomas didn't shake, Jefferson then made a quick left turn jumper, and the basketball fell into the hoop after hitting the board.

This move, which resembles a defender's move from a 2.08m insider, makes people admire Jefferson's solid footwork and soft shooting touch.

Zheng Ke was envious, and he also wanted to make this kind of action to easily cut points, after all, offense is always more refreshing than defense, unless it is an exciting defense such as a block, but with his current ability, he can only think about it in his mind.

Offensive and defensive transitions

Supersonic offense, this offense they played tactics, and after the players stood in a good position, Durant, who was originally standing at 45 degrees on the right side, suddenly started and slipped towards the bottom line, Zheng Ke hurriedly followed, after Durant ran out of the bottom line, he entered the 45-degree area on the left, but Zheng Ke was blocked by Kurt Thomas, who was covered by the bottom line without the ball, and Zheng Ke chased after Zheng Ke in a circle with Zheng Ke's speed, but Thomas took advantage of the referee's inattention to secretly pull Zheng Ke with his hand, this delay, Allowing Durant to easily hit an unguarded mid-range jumper.

Whitman, who was on the sidelines, was obviously dissatisfied with Zheng Ke's defense, and he yelled at Zheng Ke: "Do your defense!" Buddy! Don't let him shoot easily! ”

Zheng Ke listened to the fire and glared at Thomas, the uncle, and Thomas was not annoyed, and smiled proudly.

The game entered a tug-of-war, with the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves playing hard, and the first quarter ended with the two teams tied 25-31.
