King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 109
Durant's two consecutive two-pointers brought the rhythm of the Thunder, and on Reddit, fans of the two teams were also arguing endlessly. They all felt that their team was better than the other in the future.And Durant's 4 points in a row made Reddit's Thunder fans excited.

"Talent crushing, Iguodala has nothing to do with Durant."

"This is for sure. Do you think Iguodala will have any good ideas for James and Kobe? It is no exaggeration to say that they are already at the same level. After all, Adu was the scoring leader last season. The MVP is also ranked second only to James, and after two seasons of training, they are only two rookie cores this season."

Durant's offense also drove the entire team. Westbrook began to use his unparalleled speed to switch offense and defense. When Westbrook rushed up, he was unstoppable. He Yixiang's speed could barely improve, but The last step is always squeezed away. Fortunately, Westbrook's handwork is average. Because of his height and speed, his ability to finish at the basket is not a bug, but even so, in the first 8 minutes of the first quarter , He and Durant even arranged all the points for the Thunder. Durant scored 5 points on 4 of 12 shots, and Westbrook scored 4 points on 2 of 6 shots.The Thunder had already led the Kings by 18 points at 11:7, and Westphal quickly called a timeout.

"It looks like Durant didn't intend to save some face for He, who is about to become the starting teammate of the Western Conference All-Star!" Wharton chuckled, "Jeff, how about the Chinese guard? You have seen a lot of Yao's before." Let's videotape the Chinese team!"

"There is no reference value! If their teammates can touch the threshold of the NBA, then I can only say that He is now MAGIC! It's a pity that Yao didn't meet him in his best time. I think He won't fall down so soon, just wait and see!"

The two sides switched quickly in the first quarter, and the number of rounds increased. Now there are also substitutions. Harden is on the field, and the dual-core player who was the main attacker just now has been off the field.Cousins ​​also knew that the current situation was severe, and the ball had to be scored no matter what. He went to the outside to help Udrih pick and roll, and after receiving a pass from Udrih, he directly faced Krstic and dunked his head and face.Seeing this dunk, He Yixiang, who was sitting off the court, also breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention recovering the score now, but at least maintain it.

Iguodala frowned at this time and fell into deep thought. This is not the first time he has defended Durant, and he has played against that guy in the past two seasons. I used to feel that Durant only needs you to give him a certain amount of body. Contact, then his shooting movements are easily deformed. Last year due to injuries, he did not play against Durant, but today's game made me feel that he has evolved a lot. Speaking of evolution, I feel that he has won the MVP in the World Championships this year. That's how it feels. It seems that he hasn't played against each other for two years. This guy's scoring champion last year is really not for nothing!
Just when Iguodala was still thinking about how to defend Dulat, the other two Thunder juniors began to explode. After Durant was off the court, Ibaka was replaced, and Green returned to his habit. At the small forward position, the King's small forward is Casspi, who was re-topped from the starting shooting guard, and the shooting guard is the veteran Garcia who came off the bench.

Harden singles Garcia head-on. After a gorgeous dribble under the crotch, he directly rushes. Garcia, who is not as strong and fast, is directly passed after being molested. Casspi stepped forward to help defend As if the door was wide open behind him, a pass bypassed Casspi's head. At the same time, Green, who ran into the baseline, also jumped high and received the pass and succeeded in a dunk.

The King's substitute was battered by Harden and Green. They are very young, quick to push and counterattack, and have a good sense of cooperation. On the other hand, Cousins ​​has received key care in the King's interior. There is Kirsty with enough tonnage in front of him. Qi held the position, and behind him was the tall and long-armed jumping man Ibaka who made up defense, and he couldn't use his hands or feet.

"The Thunder is unreasonable. Are there still two such strong young players after going down to the two cores?" Kings fans complained helplessly on Reddit after watching the live broadcast, "We need to strengthen the bench! Now it is completely for the Thunder Young people are scoring whatever they want on the pitch!"

This sentence has not waited for the approval of the Kings fans, and it was first ridiculed by the Thunder fans: "I'm sorry, you have talent, and you can do whatever you want if you are drafted."

The Kings fans were choked up and had nothing to say. It is true that the talent of the Thunder made them drool, and the team had already sent out next year's draft picks in order to get Iguodala. Iguodala played well this season. Not bad, he took the responsibility of the second playmaker and defense very well. Although the average of 13.2 points per game is much lower than before, this is because of the reduction in the number of shots, and the 6.5 points and assists are a new career high.He Yixiang and Cousins ​​are both strong and have no friends as soon as they enter the league, especially He Yixiang. This data ranks among the top of the group of perverted rookies in history. I expect him to make great progress every year , how difficult is that?So if you want to be stronger, it depends on this year's free market. However, everyone knows how stingy the King's management is, so let's return to the game.

With Harden's three-point line facing Garcia's signature step-back three-pointer, Garcia tried his best to defend but was helpless. The Thunder led by as much as 32 points at 22:10 in the first quarter. From the cheering expressions of the Thunder fans Among them, it seems that they believe that there is no doubt that the No. [-] youth army in the NBA belongs to them.

"Coach Jeff, if it were you, what tricks do you have to turn the Kings back into victory? This rhythm is very unfriendly to the Kings! Especially the Kings' strongest three-point shot was not opened. They made 10 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter. , You must know that this season only looks at the three-point shooting percentage, but they have 3 players who scored 40%. As a result, He was 3 for 1, Casspi was 3 for 1, Udrih was 3 for 1, and Iguodala was 1 for 0. How can such a king win?"

"You've finished talking, what else do you want me to say? And my coaching fee is very expensive, ESPN only pays for the commentary fee." Of course, this was a joke. Van Gundy then pointed out the key point for the Kings to win. "The most important thing now is not to get back his three-point sense, but to limit the rapid offensive and defensive transitions of the Thunder group of young people. Don’t let him casually make 5 of 4 shots. I believe He is the one who attacks. With him, the King’s offense will not remain sluggish.”
