"Pass, Kevin, don't shoot like that, I know your chances are good, but the outside line is already empty, as long as the pass is an absolutely open chance."

When Qin Yang was in the team's tactical training, he kept talking to Kevin Durant.

Durant looked depressed.

Durant is similar to James in a way, neither of whom is good at off-ball play.

However, compared to James, who can only cut to the basket without the ball, Durant's off-ball level is still very high, but Durant is still used to receiving the ball and playing alone, attracting the defense before passing.

It's very uncomfortable.

The Mavericks' tactics are mostly based on covering, air cutting, and running to catch the ball, and Durant is one step slower here, and the running positions of other teammates are useless.

At this point, Durant still needs to be honed.

And the method of honing is ...... Qin Yang holds the ball more.

Qin Yang has more balls, Durant has less balls, and naturally he will play smoothly, and Durant has made great progress, because in the Thunder team, Durant's ball possession is not particularly much.

The Mavericks' tactical training, although a little troublesome at first, quickly got on the right track.

Of this year's four rookies, Kevin Durant needless to say, among the other three, the best performer turned out to be rookie Brogdon.

Although he is a second-round rookie and is very old, this is also a bit of a problem.

As a shooting guard, Brogdon does not have an advantage over others in height and arm span, but Brogdon, who has been trained in college for four years, has very good awareness.

and Qin Yang are very good at blocking and dismantling, and after receiving the ball, the shot is stable, the hit rate is good, and the transfer of the ball is also very good.

Defensively, Brogdon is also conscientious.

In this way, Brogdon's performance even compared PJ Tucker to James Ennis.

PJ Tucker and James Ennis have been competing for starters last season, but they haven't trained much in the offseason, which is a common problem for most black players.

No effort, no self-discipline.

After an offseason, the duo's form has dropped dramatically.

On the contrary, Brogdon, a rookie who has gone through four years of training in the NCAA, has shown great maturity, and this maturity and stability have been affirmed by the coaching staff.

Rodney Hood's performance is also good, his template is Rashad Lewis, he is slightly lower than Lewis, but Hood, who is 2.03 meters tall, is fast, can shoot three-pointers, and can use speed to break through, which has a good effect on enriching tactics. The only downside is ...... He was even thinner than Rashad Lewis.

On October 25, the regular season began.

In the first game, the Mavericks traveled to Ohrahoma to play the Thunder.

This is the first focus battle of the season.

The alliance has been advertised for almost a month now.

Durant just left the Thunder and returned to Ohrahoma in the first game, which is very interesting and has been reported by major media outlets.

Before the game even started, it was already on fire.

Speaking ahead of the game, Russell Westbrook was interviewed:

"I'm not friends with him, he betrayed the team, he betrayed Ohrahoma, we meet again and we're rivals, I'll beat him on the pitch!"

Westbrook was angry, angry, and decided to teach Kevin Durant a lesson.

Well, in terms of the strength of the team, it is uncertain who will teach whom.

But this cowhide has to be blown out.

Anyway, enough gimmicks are enough.

Warming up before the game, Qin Yang was interviewed and interviewed Westbrook's response: "No one can stay in a certain team all the time, the league is just a business, including me, I have changed four teams, and Russell is the same, I hope Russell will not suffer the same helplessness as Shaq at the end of his career." ”

Westbrook's character is fine, from a poor black boy with no talent, all the way to this point, but it is very good.

But character-wise, Westbrook is flawed.

Durant's departure was expected, and Westbrook didn't have a little bit in his heart.

The Thunder's stiff tactics are destined to fail to win the championship.

There is no suspense.

Not to mention such a thing as changing teams...... Is there any superstar who hasn't done it in the last decade? Kevin Garnett? Chris Paul, Shaq O'Neill? Chris Paul? LeBron James?

There aren't many superstars in the NBA who haven't changed teams.

Duncan, Kobe, Nowitzki are a handful.

Duncan also almost went to the Magic at the beginning, and then reluctantly stayed with the Spurs, Kobe Bryant was even more troublesome at the beginning, and the Lakers almost traded with the Bulls.

Nowitzki didn't think about leaving, but Dirk and Cuban are good friends who don't meet once in many years.

Therefore, Wei Shao blamed Durant for leaving, purely because he was full.

When Rudy Gay, Darko and other teammates left Qin Yang's side, Qin Yang never got angry, only blessings, not that a replacement could be found, but that the alliance was like this, why should he be angry?

This IQ ...... There's a problem!

Durant was low-key in an interview: "Everyone has their own choice, I love the Ohrah Hormone Thunder, but I have to get out of here, it's not a conflict. ”

Durant has made up his mind this year, and the bar that Durant opened in Ohrahoma has been shut down.

Durant wants to sell the shares, and the hotel has to change its name.

After Durant's departure, Kevin Durant's bar was almost besieged and had to close down if it didn't change its name.

This is just one of the effects, and Durant's departure has brought more than that.

Backbite!

The whistle remembers and the game begins.

Gobert and Adams jumped the ball, Adams struggled to pull the ball this time, the basketball was over, and Westbrook took the ball and dribbled steadily across the half court.

After the formation was settled, Westbrook looked at the others and then singled Brogdon directly.

Brogdon made his first appearance of the season and was a starter.

That's right, Coach Carlisle is so headstrong.

Ordinary teams don't dare to do this, but coach Carlisle has a lot of prestige in the team, the core supports, the boss supports, the players also support, Carlisle makes some small changes, and no one will object.

What's more, the Mavericks are strong, even if there are mistakes, they can change them.

In the face of Brogdon, Westbrook crossed the step and then changed direction to accelerate the breakthrough, and Brogdon was passed after a slight block.

Brogdon's athleticism is indeed slightly inferior.

But a slight block was enough, and Gobert had time to react, found a good position under the basket, and faced Westbrook's forced layup, his arm just raised to interfere in place.

However, Wei Shao threw the ball out at the last minute.

The basketball jolted into the basket.

Call!

The scene was full of cheers.

The Thunder are left with only one superstar left this season, Russell Westbrook, and the support he has received for the Thunder is unprecedented.
