You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 681 Is it true, I don't believe it (254)

Derek Fisher's top-of-the-arc [-]-point line kicked off the veteran's explosion.

Half a minute later, he called a pick-and-roll for a quick layup, which happened to hit Cousins' weakness in defense against pick-and-rolls.

After scoring 5 points in a row, it is not over yet.

After another minute, Fisher received the ball at the top of the arc and observed the situation for a few seconds. Durant personally did the pick-and-roll for him.If you don't look at his size, Durant may be the most pick-and-roll threat in this league.He has a wide shooting range, can pull out to any position after completing the pick-and-roll, and can use his personal ability to forcibly solve the opponent even if he receives the ball in a bad position.

Fisher took advantage of Durant's offensive threat and dribbled to the left.

The 76ers' defense against him was basically in place. Fisher, who wanted to continue to kill the basket, was restrained. Seeing that he couldn't make it, he had a whim, came back and pulled the dribble, and then retreated out of the left corner of the three-point line.

Fisher's crazy ball, hit it again!

"Derrick Fisher has a big heart like Robert Horry! No matter what, you can't ignore his existence, even if he was never a superstar!"

However, Cousins ​​still ignored his existence.

He serves the ball at will, giving Fisher insight into the timing of the interception, and his strike is lightning fast, knocking the ball away with a snap.

The young people on the Thunder's bench danced as if they were drunk, Cousins ​​panicked to help defend, but failed to prevent the old fish's sunset red throw from hitting the board.

With his own efforts, he scored 4 points in a row in 9 minutes. How does this look like a 39-year-old veteran?

Fisher not only helped the Thunder overtake the score, but also let them lead the 76ers by 4 points.

Jay Wright is forced to call a timeout.

Cousins ​​held his headband in his palm, shrugging his head, wondering what he was thinking.Wei Xia didn't mean to blame him. Except for the last serve, Fisher's 10 consecutive points belonged to the team's defensive mistargeting and had no direct relationship with him.

As soon as they walked off the field, Cousins ​​suddenly heard Cousins ​​say: "I was wrong, I should pay more attention to that old man!"

"Man, I'm so sorry!" Cousins ​​yelled.

Hearing Cousins' apology, Wright seemed as surprised to find that the husky at home suddenly knew how to take care of the home.

Hayward even acted as a firefighter: "If an apology is useful, what do you need the police for?"

"Call the police?" Cousins ​​asked seriously, "Is the law in Philadelphia so rough? If someone scores 10 consecutive points on the court, you will go to jail?"

Before Cousins' imagination diverged, Wei Xia took the lead to stop him.

"Before you go to jail, learn to serve first, so you don't slip when handing soap." Wei Xia laughed.

Wright interrupted their joking: "Okay! First of all, let's be clear, don't let the 39-year-old man kick our ass!"

When he said this, a 76-year-old man in the 39ers was not convinced.

To get Wright's attention, he also coughed.

Sure enough, Wright replaced him, and made major adjustments to the lineup.

Anyone who watched Wright's Villanova Wildcats in an NCAA game won't be surprised by the roster he put together alone.

Nash at position [-], Holiday at position [-], Wei Xia at position [-], Hayward at position [-], and Cousins ​​at position [-].

Although the general trend of basketball in the future is to blur the position of forwards, it is best for most forwards to be able to hold two forward positions, but the time has not yet come.

Wright's approach seems extremely bold.

The 76ers decided to hit Wei Xia with the first ball after the timeout.

Just after halftime, Wei Xia got the ball from outside the arc top three-point line, and the Thunder asked Durant to match him.

Durant, who is 209 cm tall with bare feet, coupled with his 228 cm wingspan, can cover Weixia in both height and width.

To deal with Durant, Weixia has three basic plans, storm, breakthrough, and footsteps.

The breakthrough is the easiest, the footwork is the most interesting, and the attack is the hardest and the least interesting.

Except for Kobe, any unreasonable strong shot, even if it makes it, will be said to have elements of luck.

Kobe is so strange because he is right, you will think, Kobe, the basics are not six; if he is not right, you will still think, Kobe, how many irons count?

This kind of differentiated treatment made people like Wei Xia who rely on technology to force him psychologically unbalanced, so he couldn't help but slander that guy in front of the media.

Wei Xia's style of play against Durant today is much simpler and more straightforward.

Wei Xia took the ball and walked left. Basketball fans all over the world know that the left hand is not Wei Xia's strong hand. Compared with the right hand, it is much less threatening, but it has made a lot of progress in the past few years.

His body stopped following Wei Xia's center of gravity.

Wei Xia received the ball and turned his back. The indistinguishable tremor of his left shoulder made Durant jump into the air.Wei Xia didn't need to do other things. The moment Durant was swayed by his shoulders, the initiative came to him. He only needed to jump in the opposite direction and make a shot. Whoa!

"In terms of your talent, your current defense is regrettable." Wei Xia said sourly.

Durant is the one who refuses to suffer. He hits the key point precisely: "Based on your experience, your current jump shooting skills are still far behind Kobe's at his peak."

Wei Xia stopped returning to defense.

A second later, he turned his eyes and smiled, "Really, I don't believe it."

Wei Xia's method of expressing his emotions has always been very direct. He will kill you on the defensive end, blow you up on the offensive end, isolate you during the game, and consume you throughout the process. It is best to finish a game and the audience doesn't care much about you.

This is the "frozen tactic" used against rookie Jordan in the Smiling Assassin All-Star Game.

But the Assassin teamed up with many stars in the East to do it together, and Wei Xia had only himself.Of course, those who do not know how to connect all the forces that can be connected cannot achieve great things.When necessary, he has to ask Holiday to help fill the position. Sometimes, Hayward's bag is very important.On some possessions, Cousins' help defense made people want to kiss him on the face.The most important thing is that when Durant's offense is launched, Nash, a super dessert, must be placed in his blind spot.

The Thunder's offense is just like their team name, the Thunder is in full swing.

The only problem was that it didn't take care of whether Fisher's legs could keep up with the speed.

The young man runs away, he can't.

His passing was less powerful, and the position on the offensive end was wrong. Holiday quickly found the omissions in the opponent's passing route and intercepted the ball.

Hayward picked up the broken ball and the counterattack started.

The basketball was given to Wei Xia, and he brought up the rhythm.

The 76ers haven't played such a fast-paced offense for a long time.

At this moment, he seems to have returned to his college days. In his sophomore season, he led the legendary Wildcats team to victory and won the championship, which is still a memory he enjoys talking about.

Wei Xia took care of Nash's athletic ability and waited for him to be in place.

The Thunder's defensive attention was all on him, regardless of Nash who was positioned outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left.

Wei Xia made the ball, Nash chased and hit a three-pointer, and the 76ers overtook!
The Thunder's poor positional offense forced them to change their strategy.

Finally, Durant leaned against Weixia in the low position on the right.

His long arms are outstretched, reaching for the ball.

To deal with Durant, Wei Xia never expects to affect his sight from a height, disrupt the core strength of his lower body, and make him unable to find the correct point of force, which is the only way to prevent his low-post attack.

There are almost no players on the basketball court who are longer, taller, and more agile than him-maybe a young Garnett?
What Wei Xia didn't expect was that Durant didn't want to make things too complicated.

Durant sensed Wei Xia's defensive action with his back, and didn't even take a step in. He decisively received the ball, turned around, and used his long arms to drag the ball upwards. Wei Xia's hands against his back inevitably came into contact with it.

Even if his hands are in a safe area, such contact will be regarded as a foul by the referee.

In less than 0.3 seconds, the referee whistled.

"No matter how strong the defense is, you are afraid of the whistle." Durant muttered.

"No, you in this round and me in the last round are exactly the difference between the four-time scoring champion and the four-time scoring champion." Wei Xia quickly adjusted his mentality, "I believe every audience can see clearly that in the past four years, I deserve it."

Durant's face changed: "The scoring leader has no trophy."

"But the MVP does."

"Have you won your MVP season?"

"I've had that thing since 2008."

"That's because you have Kobe as your teammate!"

Wei Xia smiled happily: "No way, you really don't know who the FMVP was that year?"

Durant's two consecutive shots from the free throw line proved that he knew who the FMVP was that year, but he didn't mean it out of the need for trash talk.

Wei Xia's trash talk broke Durant's heart.

To express his displeasure, Durant frantically squandered his talent, using his arm length to interfere with opponents' passes.

Wei Xia didn't deliberately ask for a position, and he didn't seriously ask for the ball. Durant's actions effectively isolated the 76ers from Wei Xia's possession of the ball.

But doing so did not prevent the 76ers from scoring.

Just looking at the dimension of 39 years old, Nash's strength is no worse than Fisher's.

Or it can be said that the healthy Nash is still a point guard with starting strength. He called the pick-and-roll, scored Holiday suddenly, and assisted the young man to score three points.

Durant, with an explosive mentality, wanted to trouble Wei Xia, so he turned around and hit the iron.

Fortunately, the Thunder retreated quickly, and Nash called another pick-and-roll.

Cousins ​​stepped forward positively, knowing that Nash would not waste the opportunity.The most beautiful pick-and-roll offense is that the ball handler and the pick-and-roller go in and out at the same time.

After Nash entered the paint area, the Thunder's defense had been cracked. He passed the ball with his back, and Cousins ​​dunked the ball with one arm.

The 76ers took this as an opportunity to hit a 15-4 climax.
