Chapter 277 Wild and Elegant

Judging from the video playback, Tianyang's legs are on Durant's chest. If it is higher, it will ride on Durant's neck. He has not pressed the defender's shoulders with his hands like Griffin. The clean and beautiful riding buckle is more shocking than the McGrady riding buckle Bradley back then.

O'Neal left his desk, ran back and forth in the broadcast area, raised his hands in celebration, and shouted at the same time: "Best slam dunk of the year, no, this is the best slam dunk since 2010!"

At the Staples site, Lakers fans screamed like crazy after a brief shock.

A 9-9 tie is a trivial matter, it boosts morale too much!

On the sidelines, Meryl Streep patted her chest lightly, turned her head and whispered to Leonardo next to her, "It's wilder than I imagined, do they often play like this?"

Leonardo shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips, "No, Tianyang's dunk has not appeared in several years. You are very lucky to enjoy such a wonderful performance at Staples for the first time."

On the court, Durant took the ball with a serious face and slowly brought it forward.

Those who are familiar with him know that this is a sign of strength.

Tianyang turned his neck, loosened his latissimus dorsi, and prepared to go all out.

Sure enough, Durant dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and Curry stepped forward to pick and roll.

Tianyang switched defenses and faced Durant one-on-one. The fans booed wildly, wanting to help interfere.

Tianyang raised his hand to signal for silence, and the audience fell silent.

Judging from Durant's character of getting a $2700 million contract but wanting to play trumpet to fans, Tianyang boldly guessed that Durant would never use a jumper in this heads-up unless it is absolutely necessary.

Why?Because the jumper is not enough to relieve the gas!

It is best to respond to a riding buckle, otherwise even if you win the game, it will be difficult to wash away the humiliation.

The two confronted each other for a while, and the basket was cleared.

Durant switched the ball to his left hand, took a sideways step forward, and began to break through to the basket.

The pace is relatively slow, but the protection of the ball is very stable. It doesn't look strong at all, but Tianyang can only chase close to him.

The two walked one step inside the free throw line, and Durant accelerated sharply.But Tianyang knew that Durant didn't sprint with all his strength, but had some reservations, wanting him to follow, and then dunk on his head.

Going according to the rhythm arranged by the opponent can only fall into a trap. Tianyang decided to turn passive into active and take a big step directly to stand outside the reasonable collision zone.

Durant didn't notice this, instead he jumped up and dunked with joy, and Tianyang fell to the ground.

'Beep', the referee whistled, and Durant was called for an offensive foul!

But Durant was so excited that he didn't hear the referee's whistle. Instead, after landing, he stretched his neck and opened his mouth wide, yelling ferociously at the sky, "How? Are you convinced?"

Tianyang smiled, with a calm and elegant demeanor, while other Warriors players were embarrassed, and Green kept scratching his head.

Durant wondered why none of his teammates stepped forward to high-five, and the scene burst into laughter, which made him realize that something was wrong.

After reacting, Durant subconsciously looked at the big screen, trying to figure out why he fouled, but McGee made a long pass, and the Lakers launched a fast break.Durant hurriedly lowered his head to find someone, but Cousins, who was supposed to be defended by him, had already run to the three-point line, received a pass from Ingram and then scored for the basket, assisting Tianyang to score an easy layup.

Cole was angry and funny, and shouted at Durant with his hips on his hips, "Kevin, calm down and stay normal!"

The Warriors attacked again, Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and Durant stepped forward to pick and roll.

Cousins ​​switched defenses, and Curry dribbled to the left to open the distance. After making sure Cousins ​​couldn't help defend, he passed the ball to Durant and slanted his head toward the hoop, as if to say, "Go back! ".

Durant started with a three-threat posture, swayed in a giant loop, and took off with a dry pull.

There are only a handful of people who can block Durant head-on and fall back. It is too difficult to defend. Tianyang resolutely gave up blocking the shot and turned to the routine of the field, stomping his feet and shouting, trying to scare him.

Durant has never seen this kind of defensive strategy in the NBA. Although he is not afraid, he is curious. The movements of his hands are slightly different from usual.

McGee caught the rebound and Tianyang took it and brought it forward.

Going to the top of the arc, Cousins ​​stepped forward to pick and roll, and Durant came out early to delay.

Tianyang dribbled the ball to the left, rushed to 45 degrees with the help of Nick Young, and faced Thompson's defense.

At the same time, Cousins ​​​​has rushed down to the free throw line, and Curry naturally couldn't stop him.

Green, who was in the low position on the left, quickly moved laterally to defend, Durant rushed from the top of the arc to the left position to switch to defend McGee, while Curry turned around and stuck to Nick Young, and Thompson took a step forward to press down.

Tianyang was not deceived. He knew that Thomp did this to buy time for the Warriors to complete the three-man defense change.

In the blink of an eye, Tianyang narrowed his eyes and hit the ground sideways to pass the ball.

The basketball bounced off Thompson's feet, passed through the short corner against Durant's belly, passed through Green's fingertips, and hit Cousins ​​precisely.

Cousins ​​took off and dunked with both hands to score. The fans cheered loudly, and the game entered an official timeout.

It was wonderful, Tianyang performed a textbook pass.

In the TNT commentary, Kenny shook his head again and again, "I just hit the best dunk, and now I'm hitting the best pass?"

Barkley frowned, "How did he do it? Why is it so comprehensive?"

The corner of O'Neill's mouth was slightly raised, "So you didn't refute me at the beginning, which is a very correct choice! Now you understand? Tianyang is the best player!"

On the sidelines, Meryl Streep smiled, turned her head and whispered to Leonardo next to him: "I don't know anything about basketball skills, but I can clearly feel that Tianyang's throwing action just now has With the same artistic beauty as a movie screen, why did he suddenly become so elegant?"

Leonardo nodded with a smile, "Tianyang is such a person. He can easily switch between wild and elegant. You can't see such a pass in several seasons. You are really lucky."

The timeout ended in a blink of an eye, the Warriors attacked, and Durant used Green's pick-and-roll from the top of the arc to break through to the inside.

McGee followed closely, but Durant was slow first and then fast, using the rhythm change to score an easy layup.

Seeing this, Tianyang took a deep breath. He knew that the familiar warrior had returned.

In the next game, Durant and Curry must play McGee and Nick Young in singles through the pick-and-roll, taking advantage of their defensive shortcomings to score easily.

A sense of powerlessness surged into Tianyang's heart, but he immediately put it behind him.

While dribbling the ball to the front court, he warned himself: "Accept the facts, keep a normal mind, play like the beginning, and only fight for victory!"

Make sure to pay attention, Tianyang dribbles the ball under the hip at the top of the arc, and after a few exchanges, he pulls the ball with his left hand and moves laterally.

His knees retracted inward, his feet were slightly separated, and he faced the hoop sideways, jumping from his feet, hips, and shoulders in a three-point line.

Ascending into the air, he raised his hands above his head, leaned back slightly at the highest point, and pressed the ball with his index finger and middle finger to shoot!
"Shua", the basketball was hollowed into the net.

……

In the sideline commentary, Mitchell pushed his glasses, turned his head and said, "Mike, I was in a trance just now, thinking that I was back on the night of Christmas in 2016."

Mike nodded, "If this is a mid-line shot, then I would be skeptical, after all, Tianyang's shooting posture just now is exactly the same as before."
