Chapter 787: Class Three
Durant hasn't had much of a chance, and Ariza has managed to make a start, and the defense is particularly aggressive.
"Dude, this defense is too aggressive."
After the second pass was broken, Durant still couldn't stop complaining about the young seniors in front of him who were a few years older than him, and he didn't attack on his own, and he didn't participate in other offensive tactics, just two things, defense and steals.
Ariza handed the ball to Yang Di and made his second steal of the game.
Yang Di advanced with the ball, as a ball-controlling power forward, after half court, grabbed the defender's life over there to organize, everyone opened up the space, Yang Di continued to dribble under the crotch, facing Wilcox who defended him, dribbling freely, and made a gesture of about to break through.
The right hand pulls the ball horizontally, with a slight space, and then suddenly takes a step to the right with his left foot, just like a straightforward and simple breakthrough.
Yang Di's breakthroughs in the NBA are very simple, either to the right or to the left, and nothing is too complicated, like a guard like a fancy turn and dribble, rarely, occasionally used when breaking through between the marches.
Such a simple breakthrough, using his explosiveness and physical fitness, stuck Wilcox inside.
"Bang!"
Wilcox was hit by Yang Di, his body gave way to a little space, supersonic contracted the defensive line, and Yang Di immediately jumped up and made a large-scale transfer.
The basketball moved from the right area to the left weak side, Ray Allen, who was in the open position.
Ray Allen received the ball, adjusted his angle and tempo, and shot a quick three-pointer under the defender's fierce pounce.
"Huh!"
Hit!
Ray Allen kept his posture unchanged, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he adjusted his small steps to step back quickly, patted his chest, and then pointed at Yang Di who was passing the ball.
Yang Di also stretched out his finger and pointed at him, signaling that he had voted well.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors dominated the game and scored 41 points, of which Ray Allen alone scored 14 points and returned to Seattle to play his old master.
The SuperSonics only scored 22 points in the first quarter, and the Warriors trailed by nearly 20 points in the first quarter.
After all, next season, the SuperSonics may be relocated, and the decline in local support is understandable.
The supersonic team's bench players, including Nick Collisson, Earl Watson and other players, are also not too formal tactics, in a round of offense, if there is no run out of the tactics in 10 seconds, it is the players who each hold the ball and single.
The Warriors are not far behind, with Louis Williams and Monta Ellis taking turns holding the ball and taking turns to attack the pick-and-roll, which is basically an offensive mode with high post opening, high block and split, and wing running and air cutting.
Today, Monta's hand feels average, but Lu Wei's condition is very good, after blocking and dismantling, he hit a heads-up goal several times when he misplaced the inside, with a trace of drift in the middle distance, his movements are chic, and his shooting is accurate.
Yang Di didn't play until the last four minutes of the first half, when the Warriors still led by nearly 15 points.
At the end of the first half, the Warriors led the SuperSonics by 23 points, 70-47.
Yang Di only scored 11 points in the first half, and Ray Allen had the best performance, scoring 22 points in the first half, shooting 4 of 6 from the outside three-pointers, and the back of No. 34 has been replaying on the big screen.
Durant only scored a total of 2 points in the first half, and Matt Barnes' defense also made him uncomfortable off the bench, losing all 7 shots in the first half and relying only on free throws to score points.
The first few games were so good, the Pacers also scored a career-high 35 points, met the Spurs and Lakers, and still had a good performance, met the Warriors, two wings focused on defense, and the performance was a little unsatisfactory in an instant, ESPN's commentator laughed that the Warriors gave the rookie a lesson.
"Welcome to the NBA!"
In the second half, after Durant's 10th shot missed, Matt Barnes smiled and said this classic quote to Durant, and Durant suddenly turned darker, ugly, a little annoyed and a little ashamed.
At 8 minutes and 38 seconds in the third quarter, Yang Di and Byron Davis blocked and dismantled, received the ball and hit the basket, and the thin Durant subconsciously jumped up to defend Yang Di.
Yang Di turned sideways in the air, knocked Durant away, and forced the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Bang dang!"
Durant was hit by the huge impact and stumbled, but fortunately, Aldridge held him up so that he didn't have to fall.
Not only did Yang Di dunk the ball, the referee blew the whistle, and Durant fouled the defense.
Yang Di scored his 20th point.
Montgomery wasn't ready to adjust, and after the main players played the third quarter, and after the Big Three bombarded the Warriors, the Warriors led the SuperSonics by exactly 30 points 94-64 in the third quarter.
The final quarter of the game completely turned into garbage time, PJ Callesimo shook his head helplessly, although he still left Durant and others on the court to adapt to the NBA game and learn experience, but in fact, replacing a bunch of young people is tantamount to giving up the game directly, and the Warriors changed to the second and third lineup to play against the SuperSonics.
Young, Ray Allen and Byron Davis didn't play in the fourth quarter.
In the end, the Warriors beat the SuperSonics by 26 points 119-93, and Ray Allen scored a game-high 31 points in 27 minutes to become the best player of the game.
Revisiting the old place, the old master routine broke out, and supersonic fans didn't know what it was like in their hearts, and there was a feeling of numbness.
The local media in Seattle are still very active, chasing Yang Di for post-game interviews.
"Can you rate Kevin Durant's performance in this game today?"
Yang Di thought about it, how to boast about 6 points and 4 rebounds? Then he groaned slightly, and said with a smile:
"He struggled a little today, he missed a lot of shots, some were very difficult shots, some were very simple open shots, Trevor and Matt are the top defensive wings in the NBA, it was a very tough test for him, but you can still see that he has a good offensive sense, and he's a good young man, a lot better than when I first came into the league, haha."
Hearing Yang Di's praise, the local media was very happy, Yang Di looked at her back in the distance, and it is estimated that Yang Di will praise the show again the next day, saying that it is stronger than the slightly exaggerated news such as his rookie period, right?
When he first entered the alliance, Yang Di always liked to speak straight, what to say, and now his speech skills are much better, although he is also straight, after changing the way of expression, it sounds very comfortable.
The media has not always been black Yang Di, under Yang Di's conquest, many people have changed the direction of the wind and began to report positively for Yang Di, and even after the last basketball school news came out, some media praised Yang Di as a good star who works for the people and knows how to give feedback and repay gratitude.
