NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 176: You'll never shake an undefended man

"Is this your strength? If so, you can carry your schoolbag and go home to find your mother." Lian Dao spat trash talk at Durant when he returned to defense.

Due to the previous two missed shots, Durant's mentality experienced some ups and downs. Hearing Lian Dao's ridicule at this time, his already shrugged face was instantly clouded, and Durant is now burning with anger.

Seeing Lian Dao's mocking smile, he wished to punch him, but he resisted the urge to punch.

After Lian Dao saw Durant put down his slightly raised arm, he thought it was a pity in his heart, as long as Durant punches, the Knicks can basically declare victory in this game.

Although Durant didn't punch Lian Dao, he asked Westbrook for the ball at this time. Westbrook saw that his brother wanted the ball, and passed the ball to Durant without hesitation.

Durant didn't call for a pick-and-roll this time. When Nenad Krstic wanted to step forward for a pick-and-roll, Durant waved his hand to stop him. Now he wants to play Lian Dao directly.

When Lian Dao saw Durant being taken in, he was secretly happy and at the same time prepared to defend.

Although Durant does not rely on speed to break through, his rhythm is very strong, especially his emergency stop jumper after dribbling.

This time Durant still used his signature move. When he started, he habitually dribbled the ball three times, made a fake move to the left, and then quickly pulled back. His pull back was very fast, only 0.4 seconds, and then he rushed Stop the jumper.

"brush!"

An emergency stop made a mid-range jumper.

Lian Dao had perfectly kept up with the rhythm, that is, the 0.4-second quick pull-back action. Lian Dao did not keep up. The beating time is about 0.5 seconds, but Durant's movement can be controlled to 0.4 seconds, or even less than 0.4 seconds.

In fact, this action is not Durant's signature action, because there is another person who used it frequently before him.

That is Allen Iverson. Iverson used this emergency stop jumper to face Michael Jordan's defense back then, and he also successfully hit a jumper in front of the corned egg.

However, you must know that Iverson is only 185cm, and his weight is 34 kg lighter than Durant, so it is understandable that Iverson can make this move, but it is a bit amazing that Durant, who is 208cm, can do the same.

After Durant hit this mid-range shot, he also waved his fist with some excitement.

At this time, strong cheers broke out in the Ford Center Arena.

"Kevin, come on, kill the **** in front of you!"

At this time, while the fans on the sidelines cheered Durant's goal, they did not forget to verbally attack Lian Dao.

To this, Lian Dao just smiled slightly.

Sure enough, he is indeed one of the most powerful scorers in the league. It is indeed capable to bring the Thunder, which was still weak last season, to the eighth position in the Western Conference this season.

From this ball, Lian Dao can see that Durant has gradually entered the beginning of his peak period this season.

Lian Dao also licked his lips excitedly, which was a subconscious action Lian Dao made when he met his opponent.

At the same time, it also means that he has started to be serious.

Outside the three-point line, Lian Dao received a pass from Holiday, at this time Lian Dao also did not call for a pick-and-roll.

Lian Dao dribbled the ball to the high position on the left, and then suddenly slammed into the three-point line in a disguised form to the right. At this time, Lian Dao directly passed Durant by a position. Go to Lian Dao within the three-point line to catch up.

Immediately after, Lian Dao made a sudden stop, dribbled the ball under his crotch, took a step back, and hurriedly braked and turned around to catch up. At this time, Durant's body center of gravity was out of balance, his footsteps staggered, and he sat on the floor with a big split.

Back to Lian Dao, who was outside the three-point line, he took a look at Durant on the floor, and then easily shot a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Three-point hit.

This move is an extraordinary move that Grant Hill often uses. Grant Hill's move was originally used with in-and-out, which is to go to the inside and cooperate with the center pass, but after Lian Dao gave up, he went to the basket. Instead of making an emergency stop and then retreating to the outside line, this is more difficult to defend than Hill's breakthrough.

After Durant got up, his face was gloomy and he said nothing.

But at this time, Lian Dao stopped talking trash. Although he was an opponent, Lian Dao admired Durant's defensive attitude very much.

The writer Yan Geling wrote this sentence in her book: You can never defeat a person who does not resist.

On the basketball court, the same can be said: You will never shake a man who is not defending.

On the Thunder team, Westbrook also knew that his elder brother was burning with anger and urgently needed to save face, so he didn't wait for Durant to ask for the ball, and handed the ball to Durant after halftime, and then the offensive end Use your own running position to involve the Knicks' defense and create one-on-one opportunities for him.

After Durant held the ball and made a double-disguised action from outside the three-point line, he stopped and shot a fallback jumper. Since the release point was high and far behind, Lian Dao had no chance of blocking the shot, so he used the ncaa total In the final, Danny Green defended his move: cover his eyes and make big shots.

Although he couldn't block the shot, with Lian Dao's wide palm, he put his hand in front of Durant's eyes, and Durant's eyes went dark, and he could hardly see any basket.

"when!"

The basketball hit the rim, and Lian Dao was also secretly happy, and it really worked. Battier used this trick against Kobe at the time, and it was also very useful for Lian Dao against Durant this time.

David Lee received the rebound and sent a long pass to Lian Dao who was on the fast break.

Lian Dao stepped on the three-point line, turned around and passed Durant who kept interfering with his dribbling, and then changed hands in the air after reaching the inside line and again dodged Durant who was chasing behind him, and then scored a dunk.

4:10.

The head coach of the Thunder, Scott Brooks, also saw at this time that Durant was a bit superior, so when he was attacking, he shouted loudly from the sidelines for Durant to cooperate with his teammates.

Although Durant was a little unwilling, he still nodded. This time Durant also called his teammates for a pick-and-roll again. Nenad Krstic came outside the three-point line and provided Durant with a high screen.

Durant got rid of Lian Dao's defense, and then went straight to the inside in an arc. He turned his body while rushing to the basket from the right side, evading David Lee's defense, and on the left side of the basket, he pulled the bar with his right hand for a layup Score.

This was Dr. J's signature move back then, and Durant reproduced this move.

6:10.

For the Knicks, after Holiday passed the ball to Lian Dao, Lian Dao quickly passed back, then quickly cut inside to the basket and jumped up, and then received a pass from Holiday in the air, pulling the bar in the air to avoid Nenad Krstic made up the defense and scored with a throw.

6:12.

Immediately afterwards, Lian Dao defended Durant closely, constantly interfering with Durant's receiving route. For a while, Durant did not have a good space to receive the ball. At this time, Westbrook was not obsessed with passing the ball. He chose to go it alone.

Westbrook is a heavy guard among the point guards, but his speed is faster than a heavy guard, and this guy rushed like James, directly smashed Holiday's defense with his body, and then Go to the basket.

However, the Knicks shrunk the defense very quickly. Westbrook, who had reached the inside, found himself a little helpless at this time, but surrounded by three big Knicks, Wilson Chandler, Millsap, and David Lee formed an iron barrel formation. , Westbrook didn't have the slightest chance to pass the ball, so he had no choice but to force a layup. After that, Millsap slapped the basketball out.

Wilson Chandler picked up the basketball that was slapped by Millsap and passed it to Holiday. This time, Lian Dao took the lead in the fast break, and Holiday passed the ball long to Lian Dao who was on the fast break again.

This time, Lian Dao suddenly made an emergency stop jump shot outside the three-point line. The emergency stop jump shot was very fast, so fast that Durant, who was guarding against Lian Dao's fast break breakthrough, could not react at all.

It can only be a symbolic intervention at a position one and a half steps away. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"brush!"

6:15.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks roared loudly on the sidelines at this time, and the players on the field paid attention to returning to the defense. Except for Durant who returned to the defense in time, the other players took two symbolic steps.

This made Scott Brooks a little unacceptable.

You guys are just pretending to return to defense, so you have to do it decently.

The Thunder's center, Nenad Krstic, felt that he had no chance at first glance. He ran to the midfield and stopped running. He is here to watch a show with you, right?
