Pick Westbrook

Chapter 321 I really want to drink Scarlett's bath water
Facing Beverly's stalking, Reggie Jackson was completely blown away.

What was originally the second quarter of the game where he led the team to chase points turned into a time period for him to lose points crazily and hit the iron.

Reggie Jackson made 5 of 1 shots in a single quarter, and the Thunder lost a full 10 points in this quarter.

布鲁克斯教练完全没有想到，黄蜂队的板凳球员JR史密斯说爆发就爆发，单节5投3中砍下了9分2篮板1助攻的数据。

If Coach Brooks hadn't heard of the problem player JR Smith, he might even have mistaken him for an All-Star player at this moment.

Kenny Smith said: "This is the last season of the Hornets, and the team will have a new name next season."

"But this last season, these Hornets players can still leave some good memories."

"Chris Paul won the first All-Star MVP trophy in his career, and Leonard won the All-Star Rookie of the Year."

"On the regular season MVP list, Paul currently ranks second, second only to James of the Heat."

"At the same time, JR Smith has risen to the first place on the list of the best sixth men, beating Dragic of the Bucks and Lou Williams of the Philadelphia 76ers."

Speaking of this, Kenny Smith looked at his old partner with great curiosity and said, "Charles, do you think the Hornets will win the regular season MVP and the league's best sixth man at the same time in their last season?"

Barkley smiled and shook his head with a big mouth and said, "The best sixth man is very possible. After all, JR Smith's average per game this season has reached 17 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists."

"In terms of scoring statistics, JR Smith, who came off the bench, actually ranked second in the Hornets, second only to Chris Paul."

"He deserves this award completely."

"Only in the most valuable player of the regular season, it may be difficult for Chris Paul to win this award."

"After all, James and the Heat this season are too fierce."

Thinking of the terrible Heat team and James who has completely become the team's first scoring point, Kenny Smith sighed and had the same idea.

"This season, I don't know if the Bucks can stop the Heat in the playoffs."

The third quarter of the game.

Durant put on a solo show, hitting three consecutive mid-range shots against a double-team.

After seeing this scene, Stevens was extremely shocked and said: "It's already double-teamed, how can he still make a shot!"

Du Feng has never seen a player of this level in his life. In the past when he played against Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian in the CBA, he was once shocked by them.

But now after seeing Durant, Du Feng finally understands what level of players Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are talking about.

"Every time Kobe makes a shot, I pray that it will not go in. Every time Kobe misses a shot, I feel it is a gift from God."

"James' body is terrifying. He has muscles in his palms. Some people say that Artest's body is terrifying, but I think James is even scarier."

At this time, Du Feng whispered what Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian had said to him, and then said: "Defending Durant, you will feel like the end of the world, because he seems to be able to play against any defense. Enter."

Li Lai nodded. In his opinion, Du Feng's evaluation of Durant was very fair, even a little low. After all, he is the king of the league.

The big king and the little king can be safe in the world, but Durant, the little king, has never proved himself in the Thunder.

Strictly speaking, Durant was indeed delayed by this team. If he does not want to be full of regrets like the iron elbow Karl Malone after his career, leaving is the only way out for him.

"But we still have ways to guard Durant."

Li Lai's words instantly caught the attention of Stevens and Du Feng, and the surprised expressions on their faces seemed to say: You still have a way?
"After halftime, Durant has indeed adapted to our double-teaming tactics. At this time, he is also very smart to use his height and dribbling ability to misplace the attack."

"Leonard and Vince Carter can't guard him anymore, we have to use more extreme methods."

Stevens could no longer bear the desire for tactics, and asked curiously: "What is the method?!"

Du Feng also cast a questioning look.

Li Lai did not directly explain to the two of them, but walked to the technical stage and raised his hand to ask for a long pause.

"Beverly! From now on you go to defend Durant alone!"

"What?!" Stevens was stunned when he heard Li Lai's tactics.

Beverly defending Durant alone?

The height gap between the two is terrifying. No matter how good Beverly's defense is, it is only limited to players in the same position. Let him defend a player in the 3rd and 4th positions across the latitude. This is not a free gift.

Du Feng has already figured out that his head coach has always had novel, astonishing and very effective tactics, so he stopped the mood to ask questions, and waited quietly for Li Lai's next tactical arrangement.

Li Lai took the tactical board and drew a strong-weak double-team tactic on it and said, "Vince Carter and Paul will be replaced, and Jimmy Butler and Beverly will be on the field."

"Leonard and Butler, remember that the two of you must always help defend the inside line and prevent Durant from going inside."

"Beverly, use your best way to defend Durant!"

Originally, Beverly was still worried about whether he would be blown up if he defended Durant alone. After all, Leonard and Vince Carter's double-teams could not prevent each other.

But after hearing the coach's words, Beverly's eyes lit up with great excitement.

"With my way of defense, there is no one in the entire league that I can't defend against."

The game continues.

Durant watched the stunned Beverly walking towards him in a fierce manner, and he was speechless with his hands spread.

"He came to defend me?"

Beverly glanced at Durant with his hair in his mouth. Facing the other party's doubts, he went straight to him without hesitation and hugged Durant by the waist.

Durant was stunned. He had never encountered such a defender in the five seasons he played in the NBA. What the hell is it?

The referee on the side looked at the matchup between the two and didn't know whether to blow or not. After all, no matter how you look at it, Beverly is a head shorter than Durant.

To say that Beverly is violating Durant, it is completely impossible to say.

But in fact, after Beverly hugged Durant by the waist, he kept talking trash.

"Don't look at Kevin, the referee won't give you a whistle, because you haven't won a championship or MVP."

"So you thought you'd have a star whistle?"

"You can't make the playoffs this season. I'm happy to tell you that the Hornets will make the playoffs. We are now ranked third in the West."

"Remember to call me when you catch a turtle after the regular season is over. Of course, I may have no time to talk to you during the playoffs."

Durant looked at Beverly, who was hiding behind him and spat a few times, and said angrily, "You're the one who hit the turtle!"

The Thunder attack.

Durant wanted the ball with his back, and Beverly immediately blocked Durant's lower plate and moved forward to defend.

The sudden increase in defensive intensity did not make Durant extremely uncomfortable, and Derek Fisher lobbed the ball steadily.

Durant caught the ball and turned around in one go. He was going to use his height to directly pull out Beverly, and he didn't play those fancy offensive moves at all.

But the moment Durant turned around, Beverly clapped his palms together and took the initiative to hit the basketball in Durant's arms.

After seeing this scene, Barkley praised him very much: "No matter how tall Durant is or how high his shot is, as long as he wants to shoot, the basketball will definitely come out of his chest."

"Beverley took advantage of this very well. He also knows that it is difficult for him to defend Durant's shots at his height, so his defense is very smart and targeted."

Snapped!
A clear sound appeared on the court. Beverly didn't hit the ball with his palms, and Durant avoided it with great experience. But Beverly's continuous movement made him continue to lower his hands and directly hit Durant. special crotch.

"what!"

A cry of ghosts and wolves suddenly appeared on the court, and Durant smashed the ball angrily and wanted to find Beverly's theory.

"You bastard, you can't prevent it and hit other people's dick?"

Beverly pretended to be innocent and said: "My coach said, you are the second child in the league."

Durant was still crackling at Beverly there, and the referee on the side hurriedly whistled Beverly to defend Durant for fouling, and the two quickly quelled the dispute under the pull of their teammates.

Then the Thunder sent a sideline ball, Durant faced Beverly's stalking, and Butler and Leonard's help defenses couldn't catch the ball at all.

In the end, Ibaka could only pass the ball to Sapo Sefolosha, who missed a three-pointer.

The Hornets counterattacked, and Beverly quickly advanced with the ball.

After halftime, Durant, who was full of anger, used the same defensive attitude to defend Beverly. He stalked the whole court and put a lot of defensive pressure on the opponent.

Beverly felt Durant's crotch hit hard, then fell directly to the ground and flew out of the court, and hit the billboard.

Durant said condescendingly and very satisfied: "This is the strength of my second child!"

Beverly quit, and as soon as he got up after hitting the ball, he wanted to fight Durant.

"You are the second child of ten thousand years, you only dare to squeeze me out like a bitch, you are so angry with me, do you really want to give me a punch, come and hit me."

Durant also sprayed back and said: "Who do you think you are, do you really think I dare not beat you? Remind you, my patience has a limit."

Beverly continued with his hair on his face, "Then you come and beat me up."

Durant snorted softly, bent down and put his head on Beverly's head.

Fisher on the side was very experienced. He was afraid that a young player like Durant would not be able to hold back the anger in his heart, and he would inevitably suffer a big loss at that time, so he hurried over to persuade him to fight.

"Forget it, forget it, Beverly is a mad dog. No one in the league knows it. He's still stupid. What do you care about with him?"

Beverly replied that Fisher is the stupid one. It is okay to call him a mad dog, but it is not okay to call him stupid.

He continued to speak arrogantly to Durant: "Hit me, you bastard who only knows how to yell. Some teammates came to persuade you, are you going to take advantage of the slope to go down the donkey?"

"You jerk!"

Facing Beverly's continuous provocation, Durant really couldn't bear it now. The key is that Beverly called him a softie!

Durant pushed away his teammate Fisher and rushed to Beverly again, saying sternly.

"I count to three."

Beverly said: "If you count to three and don't hit me, you are happy!"

Durant: "One!!!"

Seeing that Durant was on the verge of going crazy, Fisher pounced on him again and said, "One two three four, two two three four."

"Forget it, he is a mad dog. Harden, Curry, and Westbrook have all been bitten. What are you going to argue with him?"

Beverly completely ignored Fisher, arrogantly watching Durant count for him: "Two! Three!!"

By the count of three, Beverly had closed his eyes and moved his face closer.

Durant was so angry that his lungs were going to explode. He clenched his fists very tightly but he didn't dare to punch them. In the end, he had no choice but to shake his hands and collapse.

"Crazy dog! Mad dog! I can really meet you! You are so crazy!"

The referee on the side couldn't bear the farce of the two, and one person and one technical offender were directly expelled from the field.

"On the court, it's finally quiet!"

The referee couldn't help but let out a long breath.

It's just that after seeing this scene, Coach Brooks put his head in his hands and was about to go crazy.

Originally, Durant had gotten used to the Hornets' defensive pressure in this quarter, and the Thunder were about to launch a counterattack, but who would have thought that Beverly, the mad dog, would come out.

Without Durant, the Hornets directly hit the Thunder with an 11:0 offensive high slot with the posture of sweeping the fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

The game completely lost its suspense.

Stevens and Du Feng's eyes were still on the extreme one-for-one scene just now on the court. They were completely shocked and speechless until now.

"Durant still needs to be more stable in his mentality."

"Kobe and James were so devastated by their opponents in the playoffs, and they never broke out with such emotions. Now he caused the team to lose the game directly because of his own reasons. The loss outweighs the gain."

Li Lai recalled the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bucks and the Cavaliers.

His exhausted James tactic directly made the opponent lie on the technical table, and even ate oranges to supplement nutrition. Mike Brown also called two consecutive timeouts for the opponent.

In the subsequent finals, Kobe faced double-teaming and assisting defenses by the Bucks' three defensive players almost every time he held the ball.

But even with such defensive and mental interference, neither of them showed any emotional breakdown on the court.

"It can only be said that Durant has not yet reached the level of the two. He is at most the third strongest player in the NBA."

At the end of the game, the Hornets won the game 106:90 and consolidated their third place in the Western Conference.

after the game.

Alone in the locker room, Durant, still bitter about his expulsion, tweeted immediately on social media.

"Bever used conspiracy to expel Durant, and he made this game not fair at all."

"Then, I really want to drink Scarlett's bath water, but foot bath water is also fine."
