The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 78 [The Enemy of Life]

Now the Supersonics have not officially changed their name to the Thunder. They are going to play in Seattle for the last season. They are currently at the bottom of the Western Conference and have only won 7 games.The Grizzlies lead them by as many as five and a half games after a losing streak.

Originally, the Sonics were a team that relied on two outside shooters to occupy the Northwest King with indiscriminate bombing.However, it really only takes one ridiculous general manager to go from 50 wins to 35 wins to the bottom of the league in an instant.McMillan may not be considered great, but at least he brought the team the sixth division championship in history, and almost forced the championship Spurs into the seventh game, but the Sonics gave him to the Trail Blazers.The only thing that can be explained is that the combination of Allen and Lewis has no potential to be tapped. If more talents cannot be recruited, reconstruction will be sooner or later. It is just that such radical self-mutilation is rare. A team is actually a 19-year-old The rookie cleared the two bosses of the team.

Durant is the new leader of the team, and the second in command is Wilcox, who averaged 13.4 points and 7 rebounds per game.Jeff Green is also a rookie, averaging 10.5 points and 5 rebounds per game.Like most potential rookies, passable, but not outstanding.Two potential new stars, plus a group of homeless people, is the current team of the Sonics.

However, for players with ambitions to step into the ranks of legends, this is the best start.Before the Cavaliers got James, they had five consecutive seasons with less than 5 wins.And before Jordan arrived in Chicago, the Bulls were under 35 wins five times in six seasons.The Cavaliers management has always been eager for quick success and instant benefits, while Jordan was alone for 6 years before waiting for help.Durant seems to be more fortunate. Green has grown up with Durant since the first season, and he has the potential to become Durant's Pippen.

Another advantage is that the Sonics don't have too much pressure, and Durant doesn't need to be burdened and nervous like Kobe and Pierce.Some people think that Durant will choose to leave after the rookie contract, but why?Bringing unique glory to a city, this is the standard set by Gang Leader Qiao, which is unattainable and unavoidable.

"Do you want to surpass Jordan?" Ask any player with ambition and talent, and they'll give a humble, official answer before sneaking into a corner, shivering, eyes blazing.Not being bound by a wealthy family means that it is possible to become the only one in the city. This is a way that may surpass Jordan.

Durant's current shooting percentage of 43.0% is better than LeBron's 41.7% in his rookie season. With high shooting points and a wide attack range, Durant is obviously a truly talented shooter.

According to the original development track of the matter, Greg Oden was injured, and Durant will be the only one on the rookie list this season. After a few seasons, Westbrook and Harden will usher in the league.But it's different now, Durant has Ye Feng as his opponent, a person with amazing talent and higher evaluation than him.

There are many lifelong enemies in the NBA, such as Yao Ming and Stoudemire's inside duel, Kobe and Iverson's high-point duel, Marion and Brand's short inside duel, etc... Now it's time to add Ye Feng and Durant is gone.Both of them entered the league at the age of 19; after Ye Feng's transformation, the two have the same position; if Ye Feng goes to the Clippers next season, they will be the two youngest stars in the 30 teams, and they will inevitably be taken out Compare.This is the real enemy of life.

Durant faced Ye Feng for the first time this season, and he hoped to win.Because of the poor record of the Grizzlies, he surpassed Ye Feng in the rookie list this week and rose to the first place. The direct confrontation between the two may determine the best rookie.For this award, Durant is bound to win.

Ye Feng also attaches great importance to this game. It is impossible for a team like the Grizzlies to have a good record. The only honor he can get this season is the best rookie.

In the locker room, Ye Feng said: "Everyone, I have a request today, I hope you can agree. I want to fight Durant with all my strength, I hope you can pass the ball to me, and always attack with me as the core." .I know that it is too unique for a player to take more than 30 shots in a single game, but this is the only game, can you meet my request?"

Gay also wants to play against Durant, but the gimmick of this game is Ye Feng VS Durant. If he stands up to steal the limelight, the audience may not buy it.Thinking of this, he first stated that there was no problem.Guy said it was fine, Conley was fine, and everyone else was fine.

Ye Feng knew very well that his disadvantage against Durant was his height, and his advantage was his strength.As long as he plays the low post, Durant will definitely have nothing to do with him. It is impossible for Durant to attack and break through him with the ball.In his rookie season, Durant didn't know how to back up, and his offense mainly relied on shooting. He had the confidence to overwhelm his opponents.

When the Grizzlies players were introduced, Ye Feng was the second-to-last, second only to Gay.But the Grizzlies home crowd gave Ye Feng the most applause. They knew he would leave, and the fans liked to watch him play.

Durant is the absolute core of the Supersonics.Before the match started, Ye Feng walked up to him and said hello. "Hey Kevin, will you play against me today?"

Durant nodded and said, "Yes, are you here for the challenge?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Yes, by the way, I'm telling you to be careful. Before, I changed my style of play and my offensive efficiency dropped. Today I will try my best, whether it is offensive or defensive."

"I won't be afraid of you, just come." Ye Feng's fierce style of play has already made him famous in the league.But Durant also has confidence in himself, and he will not back down.

Durant thinks he has an advantage. His actual height is close to 210cm. He falsely reported his height when he registered because he was unwilling to play power forward, and he was worried that a team lacking insiders would choose him.His wingspan is closer to 230CM. This body has the advantage against swingers, and there is no second one.

Ye Feng knew how to defend Durant.In the previous life, Battier and Marion used to guard Durant very uncomfortable, as long as he resisted so that he couldn't get to the basket and interfered with the mid-range shot.It's only Durant's first season, and he believes he can limit him.

The Grizzlies lineup made some adjustments.Milicic, Gay, Ye Feng, Navarro, Conley.Kwame Brown sat on the bench, and Navarro's entry into the starting lineup can add an outside scoring point for the Grizzlies, preventing the opponent from adopting a compression defensive strategy unscrupulously.Gay and Ye Feng can switch positions at power forward at any time.This is a very mobile lineup, and the Grizzlies want to play fast against the Sonics.

The Sonics starting lineup is: Wilcox, Collison, Green, Durant, Ridnour.

Milicic is a master at jumping the ball, Ye Feng is well aware of this, he was ready to jump off the ball from the very beginning.In 2011, Milicic, who played for the Timberwolves, gave fans a rare shot in a century. When he jumped the ball with Thornton, he directly hit the ball into his own basket.Milicic's career is like this ball, always giving people a feeling of being speechless.

The referee throws the ball into the air and the game begins.Sure enough, Milicic won the ball and gave the ball to Conley.Ye Feng immediately rushed towards the supersonic half.Conley hit the ground with his right hand and passed the ball between Ridnour and Green, and passed it to Ye Feng.Durant tried his best to chase back, but Ye Feng was faster than him, taking the ball was a one-handed "Tomahawk" dunk! 2 to 0.

Who pays to see a team with a winning percentage of less than 40% play?Grizzlies fans are very happy, because this team has two people participating in the dunk contest, Ye Feng and Gay.Ye Feng got a burst of applause at the beginning.

Returning to the defensive end after the goal, Ye Feng defended Durant closely.

Durant is tall, with long arms, good bounce, speed and explosive power, but his weight and strength are far from enough.In the rookie training camp test, Durant couldn't lift the 84 kg bench press once.Therefore, when he attacks, he always chooses a jumper instead of going inside and scoring closer to the basket.There are very few inside players who Ye Feng can't resist. He can easily control Durant on the outside.

In this game, the Grizzlies arranged a man-to-man defense. Ye Feng and Durant, if the opponent picks and rolls, Gay will defend.Let Gay play power forward, the coach is for this purpose.

After Durant received the ball, Ye Feng almost held him in his arms.Durant dribbled the ball out of the three-point line with difficulty before turning around. He couldn't squeeze Ye Feng at all and was pushed out step by step.

This kind of defense was too aggressive. Durant had no chance to break through and was forced to pass the ball out. After running and asking for the ball, he still couldn't get rid of Ye Feng.Ridnour saw that Durant couldn't catch the ball, so he played to Collison inside.This is the right choice. Guy loses his weight and cannot be a blue-collar worker.

Collison, who is 2 meters tall, has an average contribution of 08 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. He is an inside slugger.During college, he was defined as Larry Bird's successor.Although he is more suitable as a power forward, his scoring, rebounding, assisting and stealing abilities are quite balanced.After joining the NBA, he did not quickly grow into a first-class star, but he was favored by the US national team and was selected for the dream team.He carried Gay, suddenly took the ball and took three slow steps to the middle, and hit a hook shot. 9.4 to 2.

Ye Feng was in the low position again, Durant was in charge of following up and defending, and he also hoped to confront Ye Feng head-on, if he didn't dare to defend Ye Feng, he would lose his momentum as soon as he came up.

But can Durant guard Ye Feng?
