Chapter 785: Class One

After Oden's injury season was reimbursed, Kevin Durant became the most talked-about rookie in the class of '07.

Coupled with the fact that the SuperSonics also had a '06 No. 1 list, LaMarcus Aldridge, the SuperSonics became the same highly anticipated League Young Guards as the Portland Trail Blazers.

Presti, the general manager of the SuperSonics, was the previous Packer selected by the Spurs, and his draft vision has always been good, and the SuperSonics led him and opened a new era after the departure of Ray Allen and Lewis.

It's just that in Seattle, the atmosphere of basketball is not too strong, the supersonic record is poor, and the ball market is always tepid, ranking in the middle and lower reaches of the league.

Most embarrassingly, due to the breakdown of negotiations with the city of Seattle over the new arena, owner Clay Bennett has publicly stated that he will move the team to his hometown of Oklahoma City, and the team will be replaced by a new manager, PJ Kalesimo, and the shadow of Bennett's intention to move the team will hang over the entire team.

That means that even the players who play for the SuperSonics now won't have a stable job and could be kicked out of the door by the SuperSonics at any time, or traded to a place they don't want to go at all, or in Seattle, they will only have to live for another year and a half at most, and then move with the team.

The team was panicked and had a terrible performance on the pitch, starting with an eight-game losing streak.

Now facing the Warriors, who are in first place in the West, the SuperSonics don't really care too much about winning or losing, at least in terms of the number of fans in the room, this place is even about the same as Detroit.

Some fans have publicly stated online that they don't want the team to leave Seattle, but it seems to be in vain, and personal factors seem to be minimal, driven by the overall history.

Durant is still playing the No. 2 position, and after getting Mike Dunleavy from the Warriors, the SuperSonics have set up two outside tall batteries, sometimes bombarding, and can win some games.

Yang Di fully Dunleavy greeted little Dunleavy with a smile.

"What happened to Michael? I didn't see him in the supersonic ranks? ”

Yang Di interjected and asked, he really didn't know where Svetney went, and he hadn't heard much from him before.

Mike Dunleavy rubbed his head awkwardly, "His performance last season was not very good, the team was not very satisfied with him, I was thinking about the contract year, but I didn't expect it to have no effect, and then I couldn't sign with the team, I heard that in the offseason, he signed a short contract with the Chicago Bulls with a base salary." ”

Yang Di: "......."

Yang Di has the impression that Svetney is still very dedicated, and Svetney himself is the No. 9 pick in 03, a potential player with a high pick, and later came to the SuperSonics from the Warriors, but he didn't expect his state to decline, and finally went to the Bulls, is it to fill the vacancy after Big Ben left?

Yang Di thought about it carefully, it is unlikely, if it is really to fill the vacancy, then the Bulls will definitely spend a higher salary, and it will definitely not be just the base salary.

"Who is the core, you or Durant?" Yang Di suddenly asked a very sharp question.

"No, no, no, I'm not." Dunleavy was taken aback, he really didn't have this idea, as soon as he came to the SuperSonics last season, he was told that he would not be the core of the team's future team, last season it was LaMarcus Aldridge, and this season, it was a different list, Kevin Durant.

The SuperSonics won the top player for two consecutive years, and the two merged to form an inside and outside combination.

"I'm just kidding, don't be nervous!" Yang Di patted Dunleavy on the shoulder, laughed and said, in fact, Dunleavy is really good to assist, never worry about other people's positions, he is now in the Warriors, although he is the core of the team, but there will still be people who will continue to attack him, there is no first, everyone wants to be a leader.

The two stood on the sidelines, and after a while, Yang Di saw two eye-catching players walking in with a small schoolbag on their backs.

Aldridge and Yang Di knew each other and took the initiative to reach out to greet Yang Di.

Kevin Durant saw the hottest star in the league for the first time in reality, and looked at Yang Di curiously, but he didn't know that Yang Di was also secretly observing him.

"Why is this guy slender and slender, his limbs are slender like this, does this still have strength?"

Yang Di is very suspicious of how Durant can play basketball at this size, as long as he encounters this kind of player on the court, he will not hesitate to choose to play a hard arch with his back, if it is not the five-second rule with his back, he can really push it directly to the basket, and then hit it directly with a hook hand.

"Hello, I'm Kevin Durant."

Durant reacted, reached over, and greeted Yang Di politely.

Yang Di reached out and patted his palm, "I'm Yang Di, it's nice to meet you, tonight is your home field." ”

Yang Di said softly to the children, and there was still half of the arrogant words of "watch your performance, don't let me down" not come out.

......

The SuperSonics and the Warriors all stood in the center of the court.

Yang Di squinted his eyes and looked around, the sparse population was scary, many fans had begun to sit in front, and the place closer to the basketball court was full, giving people the illusion that there were a lot of people.

Warriors starters: Byron Davis, Ray Allen, Trevor Ariza, Jandy, Tyson Chandler.

SuperSonics starters: Luke Ridno, Kevin Durant, Mike Dunleavy, LaMarcus Aldridge, Chris Wilcox.

Danny Granger missed today's game with a bad cold.

Wilcox was the SuperSonics' number one center last season, averaging 13.5 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, while Reedno was a player who entered the league in the '03 draft and had been working hard for the SuperSonics before, and he was a starter for the previous three seasons, shooting and playing.

However, because of the continuous failures, the new head coach has become more and more dissatisfied with Reednor at the point guard position, after all, Durant currently looks like a tall shooter, and the three-point shot is not very accurate, and the Thunder urgently need an impactful guard to feed Durant on the outside.

"Toot!"

The whistle blows, and the ball flies straight into the air.

Wilcox had a very good bounce, almost jumping to win the kick-off at 2.08m, but Chandler reacted well and jumped to win the kick-off by just a narrow margin.

Yang Di stretched out his hand in the air, grabbed the basketball, and then didn't look at it, and hit the ground back for a point.

Byron Davis took advantage of the situation to take over the basketball, and the two tacitly advanced forward, and the rest of Ray Allen and Ariza went straight to the bottom corner from the wing.

Yang Di quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and Wilcox took the initiative to confront Yang Di.

"Is it another shift of defense?"

Yang Di glanced at Aldridge, the supersonic defensive formation is obvious, Wilcox defends Yang Di, and Aldridge plays against Tyson Chandler.
