NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

On December 3, the Warriors played against the SuperSonics at home.

This season, the former star player of the SuperSonics was traded to Boston. The team focused on cultivating the potential rookie Durant, and the team's strength has completely fallen to the bottom.

But who can say that NBA teams can win 100%? Those who can play in the NBA are the pride of the basketball world. They are either gifted or have obvious characteristics. There is no absolute weakness.

In the arena, the performance of a moment can directly determine the outcome of the game.

It cannot be said that all upsets are fake.

The game between the Warriors and the SuperSonics was described by the outside world as a confrontation between the best rookie contenders of this season.

Durant vs. Yue Yi.

Whoever can perform better in this game can take the lead on the road to the best rookie.

This is very disrespectful of other rookies.

Horford and Yidi in the East have a lot of opinions.

Before the game, Yue Yi conducted a tactical study with Kidd and Nelson.

Although Nelson is an old man, he is not old-fashioned. He likes innovation and researching various new tactics.

As long as the idea is new and effective, it is easy to convince him to accept it.

But it took a lot of effort to convince Nelson to let him return to the bench.

When Yue Yi thought of the Best Sixth Man Award that day, he was thinking about how to tell Nelson.

Sure enough, when Nelson heard that Yue Yi was going to be a substitute again, the first thing he said was

"Are you crazy?"

Who would voluntarily want to be a substitute, let alone a rookie who needs a chance to perform.

But Yue Yi found a lot of reasons, such as increasing the firepower of the substitutes, and he still lacked the strength to be a starter.

But these could not convince old Nelson.

In the end, Yue Yi had no choice but to say that the Chinese Basketball Association had ordered him to be a substitute this season, as a punishment for dunking over Yao Ming.

Old Nelson was very annoyed when he heard this nonsense reason. The Chinese Basketball Association also manages the NBA?

But old Nelson knew that the Chinese Basketball Association had many problems, he had experienced it.

He had experienced it when Wang Zhizhi was there.

Old Nelson completely couldn't understand what those people were thinking, what was in their heads, and who didn't understand basketball sitting in management positions.

It can only be understood as a different system.

Yue Yi was still complaining, and this matter had to be done for him. Keep it secret, otherwise he might be in danger when he returns to China.

Many Westerners have great misunderstandings about certain aspects of China. Yue Yi couldn't think of any good way, so he could only guide them in this direction and mislead old Nelson.

Old Nelson is eager to find talents. Yue Yi's daily hard work, ability to read the game and understanding of the sport of basketball are all appreciated by old Nelson.

Yue Yi himself is also a very promising and excellent pitcher.

Old Nelson was afraid of any accidents, so he agreed.

Not only did he promise to keep it secret for Yue Yi, but he also promised that even if he played as a substitute, he would give him more playing time than the starter.

Looking at old Nelson's serious and concerned look, Yue Yi felt a little ashamed in his heart.

The game between the Warriors and the Supersonics began.

There were two unexpected changes in the Warriors.

First, Yue Yi, a rookie who performed well, was replaced by old Nelson. Nelson was relegated to the bench, and Jason, a new player who had just been traded from the Bucks, took his place as the starter.

This move made many Chinese fans and media people very dissatisfied, and they criticized Nelson in the studio and comment area.

The second change was that head coach Nelson sent Kidd, who played as a point guard, to guard Durant, the small forward of the Supersonics.

Although Kidd is not short among point guards, there is a big gap in front of Durant, who is 2.08 meters tall and may actually be taller.

However, height cannot determine everything.

Height only represents a small part of the strength of NBA players.

Nelson's choice worked wonders. Durant couldn't dribble well under Kidd's defense, and he was intercepted as soon as he dribbled.

Durant is too tall.

Being too tall can sometimes become a disadvantage.

He dribbled the ball. The center of gravity is too low when dribbling, and it is easier to be intercepted than shorter guards when dribbling. Durant's dribbling level is only average, and in front of him is the ball-control master Kidd.

In Yue Yi's memory, the Mavericks and Thunder played a series in 2011. At that time, Durant had grown into a big killer in the league, and his offensive power was already sharp.

Kidd was already old at that time, a 37-year-old old man on the court.

It was these two people. When Kidd defended Durant's dribbling, he intercepted him and made the big killer Durant's skills half useless. In this series, the Mavericks eliminated the Thunder, and Kidd's defense against Durant was indispensable.

It was after this round of series that Durant practiced dribbling hard, which led to the subsequent death.

Yue Yi did this just to let Durant feel it in advance.

This is all for his own good. If he doesn't learn from his mistakes and improve his existing shortcomings, how can he become the"God of Death" in the league in the future?

Of course, Yue Yi will definitely not admit that he did this just to make Durant perform abnormally.

Let other teams see the effective way to defend Durant.

Make it difficult for Durant to play in the future and not get good statistics.

You can't compete with him for the best rookie.

After this game, Durant made 2 of 11 shots, and only got 4 points including free throws, plus 5 turnovers.

The turnovers were more than the points.

The score also hit a season low.

Durant played extremely uncomfortably in this game and was far below his standard.

Yue Yi, who became a substitute again, contributed statistics that were basically the same as when he started, with 18 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and a stable performance.

The Chinese fans were worried about the issue of playing time, but they were relieved after watching this game. Yue Yi played for 31 minutes, which seemed to be one minute more than when he started.

In this rookie battle between Durant and Yue Yi, Yue Yi was very impressive.���Total victory.

After the game, I conducted an exclusive interview with Yue Yi, mainly asking about returning to the bench.

It was easier to deal with Fang Fu. He reported whatever he said.

Whether he believes it or not, it doesn't matter

"The team needs the bench to provide firepower, and the head coach thinks I am a more suitable candidate."

"Obey orders and follow instructions. Of course I happily accept the head coach's arrangements. I won't have any objections to playing as a substitute."

"I don't pay too much attention to data analysis. I am a player and I follow the coach's instructions.

After Fang Mian put down the microphone, he asked Yue Yi again as a friend.

"The Warriors' bench firepower is not bad. Compared with yours, Jason's role is inferior to yours whether he is a starter or a substitute. There is no reason for Nelson to arrange this."

At this time, Fang Shu blinked, came closer, and asked in a low voice:"Is there any inside story that can be revealed?"

"Don't worry, if Nelson targets you, I will write an article specifically to expose him. Before publishing, I will still do the same as before and let you see if it is appropriate."

Yue Yi smiled, mourning for Nelson in his heart, and said:"It really doesn't happen this time. Don't think about it. There is nothing wrong with playing as a substitute. Maybe at the end of the season, I can win the best sixth man."
