Chapter 239 The Battle of Two Frustrated People
Soon, the game between the Clippers and the Thunder ushered in the Staples Center. Last season, the Clippers and the Thunder were defeated by the Mavericks, but to be honest, this time the Clippers are really not too good This team of Mavericks that has been dismantled is in the eyes. In the West, this time their opponents are only each other and the Spurs who have been standing at the top of the West. Even the Lakers are better than this season. They lowered themselves a bit.

Their meeting in the second round seems to be almost doomed when the Western Conference has just been divided this year. The regular season enemies of the Clippers and the Thunder will meet in the second round of the playoffs. The matchup of the best defensive player, just listening to the name, these gimmicks that were hyped up by the media also played an extremely important part in the extremely high ratings of this matchup.

MVP-level small forward, the league's top point guard, the two cores of the two teams are in the same position at the same time. At this time, it is very likely that the comparison between the two teams is whose core can beat him head-on in the game. The opposite core, then the team directly occupies a great initiative in the game.

However, before the game even started, both Anson and Kevin Durant became losers. This year's NBA regular season MVP was announced in the first game of the second round, and has already won two regular season titles. MVP LeBron James won the award again this year, averaging 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.

Compared with Anson and Kevin Durant, his basic statistics are slightly better, and his advanced statistics are also better. In fact, there is not much doubt about this award. If Ansheng did not have a downturn at the end of the season, then He can still compete with LeBron James, but the last dozen games made him only second in the regular season mvp votes.

"Today is really a battle between two frustrated people." Naturally, this game with such a high gimmick before the game did not lack the attention of commentators. Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley once again became partners of commentators. At the same time, Shaquille O'Neal was also brought, "No matter who they win tonight, they may not be too happy. Facing LeBron, they are all considered a loser."

"Hey! Shaquille, Ann is still very young. He is only 20 years old. I can guarantee that Ann will have more MVPs in the regular season than you!" Charles Barkley has become a fan of Anson without knowing it. , for Shaquille O'Neal disapproval.

Shaquille O'Neal rolled his eyes: "Dude, do you think you have so much? If you surpass me, you will surpass you!" We are both a regular season MVP. Do you think you are better than me?Shaquille O'Neal's implication is that you don't want to be complacent, you don't want to surpass me anyway.

Kenny Smith shook his head when he saw these two live treasures. It's all right now. He only needs to control the women's scene. As for bickering, I'd better leave it to them!

At the beginning of the game, it was indeed as these guys said, Kevin Durant and An Sheng were on the tip of the needle, and their entanglement in this series began in the first round.

The top of the arc received a pass from Russell Westbrook. The scoring champion and the best defensive player met in the first matchup of the playoffs. Anson's defense made Kevin Durant, the scoring champion Nor is it so easy to complete a pull-up jumper directly and easily in front of other players.

As the best defensive player, for a top offensive player like Kevin Durant, this is a task that he must study every time. LeBron James is good at shooting, and Kevin Durant is good at shooting. This is a recognized characteristic of a top small forward, but their performance in other places is only relative to his strongest offensive method. Still can have enough lethality.

Anson's defense did not give Kevin Durant the space to pull directly. Similarly, the right foot is slightly back, and it is best to prepare to retreat from the beginning. In this way, once Kevin Durant wants to Breakthrough, with his speed, even if the post is relatively close, he is also confident that after Kevin Durant passed him, he can directly recover the pace and complete the recovery.

On the other hand, Kevin Durant also has enough confidence. He feels that he can easily pass An Sheng and complete a layup. Since there is no chance to shoot, then just break through. At this time, Kevin Durant At this time, the long legs showed a very good effect, and directly rushed to the penalty area with two big strides. Maybe running 10 meters or 5 meters, An Sheng must be faster than Kevin Durant , but only looking at the distance of two steps, An Sheng still has a little gap with him.

Quickly turned around and chased after him. An Sheng's interference behind him and Jordan's defense in front still prevented Kevin Durant from making good shots. However, superstars never need great shots. It was him just now. His long legs allowed him to get rid of An Sheng's defense. This time, it was his long arms that made An Sheng and Jordan Jr., two guys who were already considered long-arm monsters, unable to reach.A mid-range jumper hits the net.

Also as a frustrated person tonight, An Sheng has no habit of not showing his temper, not to mention that Kevin Durant just completed a beautiful shot on his head.

He didn't want a pick-and-roll either, he just sped up and made a strong breakthrough, and then used his right shoulder to directly resist Kevin Durant at the moment of the final layup. The star of the Thunder has never been a top defensive player. Although he has a very good height, wingspan, and speed, his shortcomings in confrontation are always infinitely magnified, and he has no time to take off at the moment he is pushed away.

The real test comes from Serge Ibaka, the block leader behind Kevin Durant, who ranked third in the vote of the best defensive player. He has very good physical fitness. He has an excellent ability to protect the frame, which is also a credit to Dirk Nowitzki. He still vividly remembers the scene of being completely blown up by Dirk Nowitzki in the Western Conference Finals last season.

It is also an unfortunate moment for him now, because he once again became the background board of the top ten balls. Anson used a very high arc throw directly over the palm of Serge Ibaka and got into it. nets.
