Chapter 64: Or maybe not

Once again, it was the turn of the SuperSonics to attack, and Kevin Durant did the same, slowly starting and suddenly moving towards the high post, raising his hand to shoot with little adjustment when receiving the ball.

Li Wan went on very fast and didn't give him any room to shoot at all.

Seeing this, Kevin Durant drew a "semicircle" with both hands on his chest, and the "triple threat" pose "threatened" the ball-holding space, and rushed past Li Wan with a big stride.

Li Wan couldn't stop his breakthrough, and took a symbolic handful from behind, Kevin Durant paid attention to details, and the afterglow caught a glimpse of his hand, quickly closed the ball, dodging Li Wan's claws, he didn't need to dribble again, as long as he took two more steps, he could shoot directly under the basket.

There's no way, a height of 2.11 meters can do whatever you want.

It's just that he just closed the ball and looked ahead, only to find that his face and Odom's face were less than the length of two palms.

"Phew!"

There is no way to avoid it, and the two people collide together.

The referee blew the whistle as soon as possible, and Odom stood firmly outside the reasonable collision zone, so it was Kevin Durant's offensive foul.

The number of fouls committed by the two teams has accumulated to the fifth time, and Odom stood up with a smile on his face under the pull of Li Wan and Fisher, and high-fived Li Wan again.

Fisher:???

Kevin Durant frowned. An offensive foul, he wasn't worried. His fear was that if Odom knew in advance that he would break through with the ball at that time, it would be the worst.

That means the Lakers have seen through his path.

But when Kobe Bryant defended him just now, the Lakers did not arrange such a supplementary defense.

All these changes came after Li Wan came on the court, that is......

Kevin Durant thought about the last round at this time, and Li Wan stuck in the position several times in advance to prevent him from receiving the ball smoothly in the high post.

Could it be that his high-post ball-holding strategy was seen through by him?

Odom made both free throws to bring the margin to five points.

Kevin Durant walked quietly to the frontcourt, and when Earl Watson passed the half, when he ran as usual, he deliberately paid attention to Li Wan behind him, and he found that whenever he moved towards the long two-point area, the Chinese newcomer always observed the position of the ball for the first time, obviously judging the ball path and wanting to disrupt his catch.

It seems that I have indeed studied my receiving habits!

Kevin Durant is now completely certain.

He immediately changed the rhythm of running without the ball, first casually pretending to stop, and then suddenly took a step inside the three-point line on the right side, and shot the ball as soon as he received it, much faster than usual.

Li Wan failed to catch up with the ball, but Kevin Durant shot too quickly, and the ball smashed on the basket with a "clang", "smelting iron".

"Bangyanlang, don't worry, the more anxious you are, the more you can't enter!"

After three consecutive defenses, Li Wan opened his mouth to stimulate Kevin Durant.

He hadn't forgotten that this guy's pre-game gaze was defiant.

"If I were your coach, you'd be sitting on the bench by now!"

Kevin Durant was powerless to fight back.

Li Wan still refused to let him go: "What's wrong?" Are you planning to save your words for post-game tweets? ”

Kevin Durant almost stumbled, but he already did. In the conversation about him and Li Wan, he said a lot for himself. It's just that it's a trumpet.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant scored with the ball, and the first quarter of the game ended as Watson missed a long-range three-point shot.

Phil Jackson stood on the sidelines satisfied, high-fived one by one. Replacing Li Wan, the Lakers' rhythm not only did not go wrong, but also stretched the difference to 7 points. Kevin Durant also missed none of his three shots after Li Wan came on the court.

Although Li Wan only got 2 points and 1 assist during this time. But his performance in those minutes was impeccable. There are some players whose many roles will not be reflected in the data, and Li Wan is undoubtedly such a player.

Kevin Durant went off the court with his teammates, and from the end of the first quarter of the game, his head had been lowered, almost buried in his chest, and he didn't reach out to wipe it as sweat rolled down his cheeks.

As he sat in the back of his bench, he put a towel over his hair, shrouded his entire face in darkness, and his hands were on his knees, motionless.

P-J Callesimo, who was arranging tactics, noticed this situation, pulled the assistant coach and said a few words, conveyed his meaning, and asked him to continue to assign tasks to everyone, while he himself walked up to Kevin Durant, kept a certain distance, and tentatively shouted: "Kevin? ”

Seeing that he didn't react, P-J-Callesimo took a step back more cautiously: "Kevin? ”

"Huh?"

This time Kevin Durant finally reacted, ripping off the towel above his head, revealing a dumb face and godless eyes.

P-J-Callesimo took a step back when he looked up, and when he saw him like this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, he was just stunned and did not lose his mind.

He immediately smiled kindly and sat down next to Kevin Durant. In case of no danger, he is willing to act as a "loving father" to the player.

"Man, you've just entered the alliance, it's normal, you're going to get used to it."

Callesimo can also understand that this game is only the first quarter, he first made Kobe Bryant's life at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends unable to take care of himself, and now he meets a rookie in the same class as him, and let the opponent defend three times in a row. Kevin Durant is sure to have a strong sense of frustration.

At that time, he also saw what Li Wan said to Kevin Durant, which should also be the reason why Kevin Durant will be downcast.

Callesimo wanted to say something at that time, but from the media reports, it seems that the rookie has a bad temper, and even if he sprays the players, the coach sprays, this is the sign of the next "madman".

"Every player has a process like this, whether it's Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, they've all gone through periods like this!"

"You're playing well, NBA rookies can average 20 points per game from the start of the season, those guys for decades. You're so much better than you think! ”

Kevin Durant's waist straightened out in his words.

Noticing the change, Callesimo continued: "I'm sure you'll have a way, I spoke to Coach Rick Barnes and he told me that only the sky is your limit! ”

Coach Rick?

Hearing this name, Kevin Durant's expression rejuvenated, this is his mentor in college, if he hadn't allowed himself unlimited fire rights and could fight as much as he wanted, then there would be no current Kevin Durant!

When he heard that Callesimo had talked to Rick Barnes, he suddenly felt that the chubby old man with small round eyes in front of him was much more friendly.

"I know what to do, thank you, coach!"

Kevin Durant is back alive!

About 2 minutes into the second quarter, Callesimo brought him on the court.

Mike Conley, who has been paying attention to Kevin Durant, opened a sandwich at this time, and after the first quarter of the game, Kevin Durant's performance showed him that he was hungry and had already eaten a sandwich, and now seeing him on the court, Mike Conley wanted to eat another one. No way, his performance is too bad.

When the Lakers saw Kevin Durant on the court, they immediately replaced Lee Wan with Wharton. He defended Kevin Durant so well that Phil Jackson simply followed the opposite side to make substitutions, and when Kevin Durant played, he let Li Wan play whenever he played.

It's the turn of the SuperSonics at this time on the field.

Li Wan still defended Kevin Durant in the same way, and when he saw him going to the high position, he grabbed the position in advance, but at this time, Kevin Durant changed his running position, received the ball outside the three-point line, and hit it with one shot.

Before he was on the court, the Lakers' bench rotation lineup opened up some more scores, reaching 9 points, and it looked like it was going to double digits, so the Seattle Center Arena was a little dull, as if the weather before a thunderstorm was blocked in the hearts of Seattlemen.

With this three-point shot, that dullness was swept away.

"How's this ball?"

Kevin Durant finally found his chance.

Is this a change in the style of play?

The sudden three-point shot was something Li Wan didn't expect. In Kevin Durant's shot percentage, three-point shooting is not his primary scoring tool, and the proportion may not even be 5%.

In addition to his three-point range but inconsistency, his stride to the layup with the ball is also a better opportunity to create a surprise layup from the high post, and if he launches a surprise attack from outside the three-point line, the interior can easily react.

Li Wan shook his head slightly.

This is an unplanned score, with Kevin Durant's ability, some points are what he should get, at least in the defensive strategy formulated by Li Wan before the game, there is no idea of changing the style of play because the opponent threw two three-pointers, and not seizing the high position.

Kevin Durant has shot just 28.8 percent from three-point range so far, six in the preseason and five in the regular season, which is not a small sample.

Kevin Durant really wanted a three-pointer today, and he made 5 of 5 shots, and he also admitted it.

Detailed data analysis is not deceiving, and Li Wan is also absolutely confident in his defensive strategy.

Besides, Kevin Durant can fly three points, and he can also fly three points.

While walking towards the frontcourt, his eyes met Kobe, and he immediately changed his position, moved to the top of the arc with the ball himself, and ceded the wing to Li Wan.

In this way, he is better able to move without the ball.

In these two games, Li Wan can feel that Kobe's careful eye did not attack on the court, of course, he also knows that the premise is that his own performance can always play brightly, otherwise, Kobe Bryant will definitely not be so cooperative.

Noticing that Li Wan increased the frequency of off-ball movements, Kevin Durant suddenly became nervous, Li Wan relied on the "nerve knife" to make a name for himself in the league, and his catch-and-shoot three-pointers gradually began to be feared by other teams.

Among them are the supersonic team.

Kevin Durant clearly remembers Callesimo saying yesterday that when Leewan's off-ball movement increases, it's when he's ready to put more effort into the offensive end.

That's now!

Kevin Durant followed suit, but Bryant's sudden lateral move stood in front of him.

After bypassing Kobe, Li Wan, who received the ball "hand-to-hand", was about to throw the ball, but Kevin Durant couldn't reach it and could only watch him shoot.

"Huh!"

Li Wan successfully responded with 3 points!

Lakers teammates on the bench stood up and waved towels.

The difference is back to 9 points!

"Beautiful!"

Mike Conley took a hard bite of the sandwich and shouted a muffled voice in his mouth. This three-point response is really relieving, just now he thought that Li Wan was going to suffer the same grievances as him, but he didn't expect that in the next round, Li Wan responded!

"Go on, Bangyanxiu, keep up your three points!"

Call~

Entered!

I let out a breath in my heart.

Li Wan opened his mouth to provoke Kevin Durant.

Waving his arms like bamboo poles, Kevin Durant moved according to tactics with a blank face, but he couldn't help but say in his heart: Do you want to shoot another one? Do you want to vote for another one?

Li Wan is so provocative, how can Kevin Durant, who is extremely confident in his scoring ability, endure it?

The response gradually took over the senses, and once again moved beyond the three-point line, the SuperSonics quickly moved the ball, he was outside the three-point line, and the ball was in his hands.

The SuperSonics have good passing ability on the court, and the purpose is to serve Kevin Durant and ensure that he gets the ball to him as soon as he moves out of the open space.

Jump high and throw with your hands raised.

The ball went straight through the basket.

"Another three!"

"From, Kevin Wenwen, Dudu Durant!"

The audience that had just been set on fire was once again shouted and cheered, as loud as the roar of a bomber, as if grenades were flying all over the sky and exploding in unison!

At this moment, the Seattle Arena finally has a bit of a Yazi with more than 16,000 people on the scene.

"Here we go again, this pervert!"

Mike Conley secretly gritted his teeth, Kevin Durant's offensive talent is so strong, he is really the best of all the people he has seen in the class of 07, even if he feels aggrieved, he has to admit it.

Can you still fight back?

Mike Conley watched Li Wan flash across the TV screen during the camera cut, his lips stained with sandwich salad dressing muttering softly.

Probably so, right?

He can fight Aaron Iverson!

"Huh!"

“wow!”

Seeing Li Wan as he thought, holding the ball and scoring under the basket, Mike Conley jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and shouted with excitement.

It's too strong!

He's a college teammate who's so strong right now!

Although he has already faced Alan Iverson, there is a precedent.

But at this moment, watching Li Wan respond to Kevin Durant continuously, Mike Conley sighed and shook his head unconsciously.

Is he really that strong?

"It's going to start again!"

Phil Jackson and Phil Handy glanced at each other, and it was not the first time they had seen Li Wan on the sidelines facing Biao like this, but they still couldn't help but be excited.

Now, whether Li Wan's "nerve knife" attribute has occurred or not has become one of the things they look forward to the most every night when they have a game.

Or maybe not.
