Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 302 Ferocious Thunder
Adelman looked at the situation on the court in silence.

The shadows on the court were intertwined, the players ran back and forth quickly, muscles collided, and sweat flew away.

The intensity of this game is even more exaggerated than imagined.Paul, the disciple who had been coached by himself, held his breath throughout the game, his eyes were full of anger, as if he was going to burn the home court to ashes.

This game...is not easy to play...

The basketball bounced and fell on the edge of the court, and the sound of "boom, boom" was not loud, because the scene was full of noisy players communicating.Paul stood in the backcourt, waiting for his teammate to serve. After a while, Durant picked up the basketball and passed it. Paul shook his head to catch the ball, and then let this strangely tall guy run past him.

Looking at Durant's back, Paul's face flashed an imperceptible strange look.

During his time in the Thunder, Paul and Durant had a lot of contact.

It must be admitted that Durant is a natural attacker with talent comparable to Lian Feng, and some people even say that his talent is stronger than Lian Feng.Of course, Durant's height and wingspan talent is better, but Lian Feng's speed and explosive talent are not comparable to Durant.From the perspective of talent, the two are just about the same in Paul's opinion.

Compared with Lianfeng, Durant is not so easy to get along with.

Durant made Paul feel... cold-blooded.

This kind of cold-bloodedness does not refer to the kind of cold-bloodedness that makes lore shots on the court, but a kind of cold-bloodedness that treats emotions.All in all, it is difficult for someone to really walk into his heart.I don't know if he treats women like this, but when he treats brothers... Paul has a hunch that it is difficult for this guy to have a real "brother".

But these evaluations do not affect Paul's admiration for Durant's offensive ability.

At this time, Durant has not yet entered the ranks of superstars, and his skills have not yet reached the ceiling he can reach.

He has been able to use his body to protect the ball to create shooting opportunities, and he is exceptionally smart in running without the ball. All kinds of cutting runs, adjustments after receiving the ball, and quick shots are even more exemplary among the swingmen in the league.From beyond the three-point line, he even shot 48% in the last month, two points long, except for the left side of the free throw line and the bottom line, they are all horrifyingly accurate.

In terms of outside shooting, he has evolved to be good enough.The only thing that needs to be continuously strengthened is the ability after entering the inside line.His ball-handling skills and his ability to create shooting space in the middle and short distances will all be tested.What needs to be tempered the most is his ability to fight.

But no matter how you say it, this guy is a second-year rookie, and his performance is already terrifying.

At this time, Paul dribbled to the top of the arc, and Durant took advantage of the situation and made a pick-and-roll.

Strictly speaking, Durant's pick-and-roll quality is not very high.But his tactical changes after the pick-and-roll are enough to cause headaches for everyone in the league.

Whether it's downswing or outside cut, it's too strong.

Paul broke through, and he has already scored 6 points in this way. Of course, the opponent will not give him a chance this time.

Durant found an opportunity to cut outside quickly.

Paul passes the ball.

Durant stands outside the three-point line and pulls out his hand. His release point is even level with the basket. The soft touch is about to make Jeff Green collapse. He is faster, taller, and more dexterous. As long as you give him a step, he will immediately jump over your head.

The goal was scored again.

Paul is very satisfied, and Durant's scoring ability is indeed admirable.

Good tempo, keep it up.

Paul meticulously maintained the rhythm of the offensive organization, step by step, without any rush.

Westbrook doesn't have many shots, because his off-ball ability is not good, he needs to hold the ball more, but this is obviously impossible.Paul certainly won't let this rookie steal his limelight.The kid seemed angry in his heart, but it didn't matter.Occasionally he will get a chance to accept his own pass, or steal and push a fast break. As long as there is such an opportunity, it is a earth-shattering dunk, as if to vent his dissatisfaction.

In contrast, Paul trusted his old teammate, Tyson Chandler more.

Even in the Thunder team, the boxing champion is still so adept at eating cakes.Only he has such a tacit understanding with himself, capturing the Hornets' penalty area time and time again.

Tyson Chandler also seemed to be furious.

Yes, Gasol was only his substitute, and Ibaka, a [-]-something round pick, had only blocked a few shots, but with these two rookies, Adelman dared to hype their defense in front of the media.

How could Tyson Chandler have no idea?

In this case, let you see, without your own Hornets, what defense is there!
……

Iverson looked up at the scoreboard, the team has trailed by 11 points.

This is the home court, and the fans at the scene even began to boo Paul. They seemed to have reason to hate this old player who swaggered in front of his old club, not thinking that he was also the hero who won the championship last season.

Throughout the game, Iverson was silent.

He got into trouble.

Paul, the young point guard, is a tough guy.

If it was Iverson a few years ago, he wouldn't think so.Because he is faster and more flexible.But now, his speed and explosive power have dropped a lot, and he has no advantage against Paul, and the opponent has a stronger body.

Iverson's forehead was dripping with sweat. He spent a lot of energy, but he took 11 shots and only hit 2 times.

The second quarter is finally over.

During the halftime break, there was a chill atmosphere in the team.

Adelman calmly analyzed the situation on the court. He glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone was sweating, but his eyes were full of unyielding flames.

Taking a deep breath, Adelman began to adjust the lineup in the second half.

"Look, we had to make some changes in the second half. As it turned out, the lineup in the first half wasn't going to get us the win."

In the first half, Adelman tried two formations, one was a lineup with a balanced offense, Jeff Green and David West, and the other was pure defense, with Ibaka and Jeff Green starting, but neither of them worked.Under the attack of Paul and Durant and Westbrook who occasionally dunks, the defense becomes ridiculous.

This is not the league it was in 05.

It has become very difficult to rely on defense to win.

So this time, Adelman decided to take a risk.

"Korver, David West, the two of you started in the second half!"

Korver in the corner quickly begins undressing.

Then Adelman looked to Gasol Jr., "I want you to be Allen's most reliable offensive axis."

Little Gasol nodded.

Adelman finally set his sights on Iverson: "Remember that game in 01, you are a passing machine. I hope this game of yours will let the Thunder boys see that you not only have the ability to attack! We gave up defense, but we must make them unable to defend!"

Iverson laughed: "It's overdue!"
