Chapter 75 Self-discipline!

After hearing this, Coach D'Antoni was taken aback...

Du Qi beat Roy twice yesterday?

what happened? ?
Did they meet?

Judging by Brandon Roy's choked expression, it doesn't seem like a fake, it should be true.

Coach D'Antoni couldn't help but glance at Duke.

Du Qi saw the coach looking at him, but didn't explain anything.

Du Qi has now recognized his position in the team, and he is not even counted as the main force of the team.

Although this coach D'Antoni discovered his talent, his own words were not enough to attract his attention.He doesn't trust himself as much as Coach Painter does.

……

Roy didn't get a bargain, so he was angry and helpless.

In the end, he had to say to Du Qi:
"Boy, remember what you said now. This is our first game, and there are at least 2 more games to come. See how I beat you!"

After speaking, he glared at Du Qi before leaving.

……

After the away game with the Trail Blazers, the Suns rushed to the next game non-stop——

Seattle, Oklahoma

We didn't arrive at the hotel until 2:[-] in the morning.

"It seems that there is no way to complete the 2000-ball shooting practice today."

After getting off the bus and checking in in front of the hotel lobby, Du Qi thought to himself.

this time,

Don't talk about going out to find the basketball court, even if you find it, the gate of the basketball court will be closed and you can't get in, right?
"You basketball players are so tall~"

After seeing the members of the Suns, the sleepy hotel waiter immediately became energetic, and couldn't help but enthusiastically praised:

"By the way, our hotel is specialized in providing services for the NBA basketball team. There is an open basketball court. If you are interested, you can go to practice."

At this time, the players of the Suns were very tired, thinking about eating something, or going to sleep without eating anything at all.

How could I care to pay attention to what she said?

"Really?"

Du Qi is unique in confirming.

"YES"

……

No one paid attention to the chat between Du Qi and the waiter.

Nash and the others even thought that this Asian Du had taken the wrong medicine when he went out, and he didn't want to rest, but cared about these trivial matters.

……

After half an hour.

Half of the Suns players ate supper before rushing to sleep.

Half of the people washed up hastily, then fell asleep on the bed.

After coach D'Antoni washed up, he came to the window and prepared to open the window a crack to let in the air, and then went to sleep.

And at this moment,
He inadvertently saw a man practicing shooting on the basketball court downstairs of the hotel through the window.

"It's him."

Looking at the thin Asian figure, D'Antoni was slightly moved, "This Du... is he an iron man?"

At this time,
He suddenly understood,
How Duke met Roy of the Blazers.

Thinking about it, he did the same thing yesterday, he didn't take a rest immediately, but went to practice outside the hotel, right?

After going out for a trip, I ran into Roy of the Blazers. This chance is also possible.

He beat Roy twice yesterday?
Unknowingly.

Coach D'Antoni thought of this question again.

Recalling Du Qi's expression of asking to play when the game was stalemate, D'Antoni couldn't help but frowned:
Was my decision wrong at the time?

Let Du play, will Roy's lore goal be over?
D'Antoni returned to his senses and shook his head.

No matter what,
These are all assumptions, and it is a fact that the Suns lost the Trail Blazers game.

After watching Duke shoot for about 2 minutes,
Coach D'Antoni showed an expression of appreciation, and then he closed the curtains and rested.

Du Qi at that time didn't know that D'Antoni was watching him.

He was obsessed with throwing two thousand pitches.

When Du Qi completed the [-]-goal shooting practice, the night was about to pass, and the sky turned pale.

……

The team requested to gather at 16:30 the next afternoon.

Although the Suns players who turned day and night have a lot of sleep time, the quality is not high.Until the time of assembly, many people were still yawning.

I got on the bus and drove to the Seattle SuperSonics arena——

Ford Center.

The first game of the Suns VS Supersonics will start at 19:10!
……

The Seattle SuperSonics changed their name to the Thunder after the 2007-08 season.

It can be said.

The 2007-08 season was a very tasteless season for the Sonics.

on the lineup.

Since the talented player Ray Allen was traded away, the entire Sonics lineup can be said to be very weak!
but!

They have super rookie Kevin Durant.

and so.

The Ford Center Arena, which was supposed to have a low attendance rate, was not so miserable because of Durant's attention.

……

at last.

The first encounter of the season between the Suns and the Sonics began.

The Suns here,
The starting lineup still does not have Duke, and it is still a starting lineup centered on Nash and the bully.

The Sonics here,

The starting lineup is:
No. 27 jersey Juhan Potello - Center

No. 54 Chris Wilcox - power forward
No. 35 Kevin Durant - Small Forward
No. 25 Gull Watson - point guard

No. 21 Damian Wilkins - shooting guard

the most concerned,

Naturally, Durant with the No. 35 jersey.

With the appearance of Durant, an NBA rookie, the attention of Du Qi, a controversial NBA rookie, is naturally indispensable.

"Kevin Durant is locked to start, and Asia Du, who is also a rookie, has only started once so far. The gap is incomparable."

"Of course."

"That Asian kid, only occasionally blooms superhuman talent, but our Durant is super stable, he is a big scoring weapon on the court!"

"That's right. Durant is one of the best super rookies in the NBA. Look, if he matches up with that Asian Du, he will definitely crush that Asian kid!"

The fans started a discussion about Duke and Durant.

Because of these two "du",
In the NCAA arena, there are no encounters.

They are still looking forward to the first confrontation between these two NBA rookies.

But the beginning is a bit sad.

Compared with Durant's starting, Dutch's sitting on the bench is very different.

Most people are not optimistic about Duke.

"However, even if the Sonics have a super rookie Durant, their overall lineup is too weak, and they can't compare with the Suns with Nash and the bully."

"Yes."

"This time the Sonics are at home, so the state should be better?"

In the eager anticipation of the fans,
The game finally started.

Bully Stoudemire gets the jump ball first for the Suns,

However, the state of the Suns was very poor. Marion took the ball to the basket, missed a jumper and produced a rebound.

Snapped!
The rebound was grabbed by Durant!
Moreover, it was snatched from the head of Xiao Si, the bully!
