NBA starts from the strongest 3D

Chapter 49, How to defend Durant?

Barkley said: "Zhou Hang encountered the Supersonic's strict defense. He was flanked, but Zhou Hang played very maturely, and he gave the ball to his teammates."

Smith said: "Although Zhou Hang is the end point, he doesn't stick to the ball. He doesn't force the offense. The Lakers' rotation lineup conducts the ball very smoothly."

Barkley said: "After Zhou appeared on the court, the Lakers' offense was very smooth, and the offense of the rest of the Lakers became easier. The presence of Zhou Hang made up for the loss of Gasol's absence to a certain extent."

Smith said: "Zhou Hang is becoming more and more important to the Lakers. What he needs to do now is to continue his stable performance."

Barkley said: "Yes, if this continues, his position in the Lakers will become more and more stable. Even after the return of the Twin Towers and Ariza, he will still be able to get a stable playing time."

Break between festivals.

Supersonic here.

Coach Carlesimo emphasized to the Supersonic players: "Don't pinch, stop them from passing the ball."

The continued suppression of the Lakers made Carlesimo feel that the team's tactics needed to be changed.

It's hard for the Sonics to play like this. Their defense can't keep up with the Lakers players.

Although Zhou Hang is very powerful, it is not worth the supersonic defense.

Durant took the initiative to stand up and said, "Coach, I'll defend him alone."

Carlesimo knew that there was some competition between Durant and Zhou Hang, so he nodded and said, "No problem."

subsection.

The Lakers are led by Zhou Hang and Odom, and the Supersonics are still led by Durant and Jeff Green.

The Lakers' offensive possession.

Farmar brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Farmar directed the tactics in the frontcourt, first to Odom on the right side of the free throw line.

Odom was posted by Collison.

Odom doesn't like to gouge the opposite inside like this. He likes to look for misplaced opportunities to play.

Zhou Hang got the chance to catch the ball in the left running position, and Odom passed the ball to Zhou Hang.

Durant was very tight against Zhou Hang, and he didn't give Zhou Hang a chance to shoot immediately after receiving the ball.

Zhou Hang caught the ball quickly and immediately held the ball for three threats.

Durant spread his long arms to interfere with Zhou Hang as much as possible.

The fans at the scene saw Durant and Zhou Hang directly facing each other, and they immediately became happy.

"Zhou, kill him, you are the best rookie."

"Don't be cowardly, just hit him alone!"

"One on one, pass him, knock him down."

Lakers fans kept cheering Zhou Hang on.

Zhou Hang didn't mean to disobey the fans, he raised his hand to signal to pull away, he was going to play singles.

In the first quarter, Zhou Hang was also annoyed by being pinched, he had to fight by himself.

Durant's wingspan is very long, and he stands in a position where he can defend Zhou Hang's breakthrough and then jump up to defend his three-pointer.

Zhou Hang took a tentative step back and forth to see if Durant's center of gravity would change.

The tentative step is a very important technique, and many scorers will use this trick to perfection.

Such as Bryant, Anthony.

However, Zhou Hang's tentative step is obviously not up to the point of shaking Durant away.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Zhou Hang combined two consecutive crotch dribbles with a change of direction.

Durant ate Zhou Hang's second change of direction, and Zhou Hang exploded to the left in an instant.

Durant was passed by Zhou Hang.

Collison and Jeff Green flanked at the same time, but they were still slow.

Zhou Hang broke through the defense line of the two at high speed and scored with one hand.

21 is better than 32
Zhou Hang continued to help the team expand its lead.

Zhou Hang is now more and more confident in his possession of the ball.

Zhou Hang's wonderful goals scored by the three of them made the cheers on the scene rise.

Supersonic attack, Durant rushed over with the ball at high speed.

Durant has never been afraid of one-on-one, Zhou Hang hit him, and Durant will fight back.

It was Zhou Hang who defended Durant.

Collison put up a screen to block Zhou Hang, and Durant also passed Zhou Hang on the right side, stopped at the free throw line, and made a mid-range jumper!

"Shh!"

23:32.

Odom did not go to defend Durant.

Odom didn't expect Durant to be as tall as a center but use the same technical moves as a guard.

Such an emergency stop jump shot is not something that ordinary centers can do.

Zhou Hang explained to Odom: "Don't use him as an insider, but use him as a defender."

Zhou Hang knows more about Durant than Odom.

Odom nodded: "Unbelievable, his skills are so good."

Zhou Hang didn't say anything more.

Although he is a competitor with Durant, Zhou Hang will also admit Durant's strength.

Durant is one of the most efficient attackers in NBA history.

Of course, not yet, otherwise Zhou Hang would be blown away.

The Lakers attack.

Farmar takes the ball across half court.

Zhou Hang continued to run back and wanted to cut into the inside line, but Durant gritted his teeth and followed Zhou Hang, Zhou Hang did not get rid of Durant.

Zhou Hang still received a pass from Farmar outside the three-point line on the right.

If the main player of the first team is Kobe, the main player of the second team is Zhou Hang.

The Lakers' tactical moves all revolve around Zhou Hang's movement.

They pull the space very quickly.

Facing Durant, Zhou Hang is still crotch.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Durant's scalp tingled when he saw Zhou Hang's dribble under his crotch.

Zhou Hang's dribbling is not top-notch, but his sense of rhythm is great. Combined with his strong shooting ability, Durant's defensive focus is hard to find.

After Zhou Hang's frequent crotch combination and change of direction, he once again found Durant's defensive loopholes.

Durant's current defensive experience is not enough, he is prone to Zhou Hang's fake moves.

Zhou Hang broke out on the right and passed Durant again.

This time Collison didn't come up to help defend, Zhou Hang used an emergency stop mid-range that was almost the same as Durant.

"Shh!"

Give it back!

23:34.

Zhou Hang turned his head to Durant and said, "I can do this too, your defense is terrible."

Zhou Hang's words made Durant's face a little serious.

After being beaten by Zhou Hang consecutively, Durant felt a little overwhelmed.

"Zhou Hang's offensive ability with the ball is really outstanding."

"I found that I still underestimated Zhou Hang."

"Zhou Hang and the No. [-] show will not lose at all."

"This game will be the key to the best rookie reference, Zhou Hang cheers."

Domestic fans cheered.

Although there is no cool dunk action in Zhou Hang's game, he has smooth technique and aesthetic feeling.

Zhou Hang's brilliance is becoming more and more chic now.

Supersonic attack.

Collison wants to go up and cover for Durant.

Durant waved his hand to let him go.

Zhou Hang smiled.

Now Zhou Hang has great confidence in preventing Durant.

Before this game, Zhou Hang had an exchange with Kobe.

Kobe is a ruthless person. He studies the videos of the main scorers of each team at home every day.

Durant is clearly on his list as well.

This is what Kobe told Zhou Hang: "It's easy to defend the No. [-] pick. He can't shoot the ball when defending against him on the right. This is one of his weaknesses. Now he can't change direction from the left, and everything is on the right. , that gives you space to cut him off the ball, and before he develops his left hand, you can drive him to the left and force him to layups, and even though he's bigger, he's going to be uncomfortable."

Zhou Hang asked: "What if he develops his left hand?"

Kobe smiled and said, "You expect this kid to not be able to develop his left hand, otherwise the guys who defend him in the entire league will be in trouble, and now you will also be beaten by him."

Zhou Hang said, "Are there any other weaknesses?"

Kobe said: "His shooting posture can also be disturbed, but the effect may be average."

Zhou Hang felt that Kobe's judgment was quite accurate.

As long as Durant evolves to the point where he can shoot left and right, shoot long shots, and shoot with both hands, it will be difficult for him to defend one-on-one.
