Chapter 416 Grizzlies vs Supersonics
11 month 3 day.

The Grizzlies defeated the Pacers led by O'Neal 99:81.

李磊砍下33分11篮板5助攻2抢断2盖帽。

The Grizzlies won two straight.

11 month 7 day.

The Grizzlies started their first road game of the season.

The opponent is the rebuilding team Seattle SuperSonics.

Unsurprisingly, the Sonics, which sent away Ray Allen and Lewis, were rotten to the bone, losing four straight at the beginning.

But Seattle fans are full of confidence.

Because Durant has fulfilled his talent in the first four games.

第一场打掘金，杜兰特面对安东尼砍下18分5篮板1助攻3抢断1盖帽。

In the second game against the Suns, Durant scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

In the third game against the Clippers, Durant scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.

In the fourth game against the Kings, Durant scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

四场场均24分6.3篮板2.8助攻1抢断0.8盖帽。

And Durant's shooting percentage is not low, the four games are 31.8%, 47.8%, 52.6%, 50%.

From the data point of view, Durant has adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game, and his performance is getting better and better.

This made Sonics fans extremely excited.

This summer, when the Supersonics management sent Ray Allen and Lewis away, the whole world scolded them, even the Supersonics fans.

But now, no one scolds them anymore.

Especially "The Great" Greg Oden underwent minimally invasive surgery on his right knee, and when he was reimbursed directly without playing a game in his rookie season, the Supersonics management was praised to the sky instead.

"The Sonics front office has unparalleled courage and the best vision."

"They drafted the best rookie, yes, the best. Even compared to the great, Durant is the best."

"Congratulations to the Sonics, they already have a solid foundation."

……

In this case, the Sonics ushered in a fifth opponent, the Memphis Grizzlies.

"The Little Prince of Twitter" Durant tweeted on his personal social media: It's really great!Tomorrow, I will play against the best small forward in the NBA. It must be a good night.

Durant was afraid that others would not know, so he also @李雷.

Because of two things, the draft and new users, Durant has a good impression of Li Lei.

It can even be said that Li Lei is now Durant's favorite active player.

Li Lei replied quickly: Kevin, you did a good job.But you have to be prepared, I will do my best.

Durant didn't realize anything, and replied excitedly: Oh, I'm best prepared, no matter how terrible the storm you bring.

……

That night.

The Grizzlies went first.

Milicic, Gasol, Li Lei, Hill, Lowry.

This is Hill's first appearance as a Grizzlies player.

The Sonics are out there.

Center: Robert Swift.

Power forward: Chriswell Cox.

Small forward: Kevin Durant.

Shooting guard: Damian Wilkins.

Point guard: Earl Watson.

Before the game started, Durant took the initiative to come over and hug Li Lei.

"Hey Stone, welcome to my city!"

Ah!
You see, Durant is also in high spirits now.

"So tonight's supper, did you pack it?"

Li Lei asked while hugging Durant.

"no problem!"

Durant patted his chest generously: "There are still some snacks on my seat, would you like some to pad your stomach?"

Li Lei looked over and found several packets of crispy noodles.

"No, I'm not hungry." Li Lei refused.

Durant didn't care either.

Then, the game officially started.

During the jump ball, Milicic returned the ball to his home half.

Lowry advanced to the frontcourt to observe the situation.

Li Lei didn't ask for a seat, but ran past Hill and reminded him in a low voice, "Grant, this ball belongs to you."

Li Lei took the initiative to run to the bottom corner to help Hill open up space.

Hill didn't hesitate either.

He understood Li Lei's meaning and wanted to help him get back to his state as soon as possible.

So Hill took the initiative to respond, took the ball and rushed in.

The 35-year-old Hill took one step, and the speed was extremely fast.

"Hey! This is 35-year-old Hill? Hill who has experienced several serious injuries? Who will believe it?"

Director Zhang Weiping was stunned.

How far is Hill going?
The camera almost missed him, only to see an afterimage passing by, and broke into the Sonics penalty area.

Hill soared into the air and directly bombed the basket.

But Supersonics big center Swift reacted and jumped up to block.

Hill was disturbed for a while, the ball was a little crooked, hit the basket, and crashed directly.

"My God... what a pity!"

Director Zhang Weiping screamed at first, but restrained himself.

Su Qun cooperated and said: "Although the goal was not dunked, it fully demonstrated Hill's ability and strength."

At this time, Li Lei actually felt the deepest.

He felt a force from Hill.

Go forward!

Although I died nine times, I have no regrets.

Just like Rose in later generations, because of injuries, he went directly from the youngest MVP in history to a wanderer.

But when he has the opportunity to play again, he still won't choose a safer and less prone to injury style of play.

He is still that rose, even if his life is short, he must bloom in the most enthusiastic way.

Do you think he doesn't know the dangers of "slam dunk without hanging on the frame, landing without kneeling, changing direction without slowing down"?
But if it changed, it wouldn't be him anymore.

This, too, was Grant Hill now, though older, though terribly ill.

But as long as he can play, he will not hold back, he will explode every ounce of strength contained in his body.

What's more, if it doesn't bloom now, will the 35-year-old Hill still have a chance?
Thinking of this, Li Lei ran forward, caught up with Hill, and patted him on the shoulder: "Grant, don't worry, there are still many opportunities."

Hill showed a modest and polite smile, thanking Li Lei for his concern.

As for whether to change or not, only Hill himself knows.

The Sonics attack.

Watson organized with the ball, Durant ran without the ball, relied on his teammates' pick-and-roll to get rid of Li Lei, and then received a pass from Watson, pulled up and shot.

Swish!
2: 0.

Durant hit the first goal of the game.

Li Lei nodded slightly.

This season, Li Lei needs to pay attention to too many teams, the Lakers of Kobe and Garnett, the Suns of Nash and O'Neal, the Celtics of Ray Allen and Pierce, the Magic of McGrady, Howard and Lewis...

So Li Lei didn't pay much attention to Durant before, but just looked at his statistics online.

After the round just now, Li Lei already knew Durant.

Because his style of play is almost exactly the same as that of Li Lei in the second grade.
