You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 829 A Subtle Mindset

Over the years, the Thunder and Spurs have been considered the most distinctive and contrasting teams.

One is that the old monsters get together, play tactics, talk about discipline, and pay attention to moving the ball.Thunder is the literal opposite of these words.

When the Thunder came in front of the 76ers as an opponent, that sense of contrast reappeared.

Durant received the ball from a high position, ignored Wei Xia's interference, and shot from the ground with his hands open.

10 is better than 8
Thunder lead by 2 points, 15 seconds later.

Wei Xia passed Durant backhandedly, and the Thunder's attack on the line seemed to have been handed down by the Cavaliers. It was extremely decisive and resolute, and did not give Wei Xia a chance to continue to show off his skills.

Wei Xia handed the ball to Cousins ​​​​who came up to the high position to meet him.

Cousins ​​turned around and was assigned to Hayward on the left outside.

Hayward broke through with the ball, and he entered a deep enough position. Unfortunately, his physical fitness limited his lethality, and he could not create a threat in this position.If he is as reckless as Westbrook, and simply and roughly splits every offense into "I'm going to score" and "I have to pass the ball when there is an open space", then the 76ers' offense in this round will most likely fail.

Golf quotient is something that is difficult for an ordinary fan to understand, but it does exist.

For example, if you praise a guard for playing like Kidd, you will definitely think that he is mature and stable in defense; if you praise a guard for playing like Westbrook, then you must also think that this man is unthinking and only rampages.Although these guards all master the secret skill of directing the inside to pick up rebounds, which is passed down from the lineage of an all-round point guard, the ball quotient contained in their brains is not the same.

Hayward made the correct judgment. He didn't push forward, didn't pass the ball reluctantly, but dribbled the ball one more step, and passed the ball to Faried under the basket in a small range. Next, the orc picked the basket with his left hand and ended.

This is where the 76ers differ from the Thunder.

They are as talented as the Thunder but not obsessed with their own talents. They like to move the ball up and play team offense.

"I can't believe that your team status is like this."

Wei Xia ran after Durant, and he didn't let Durant catch the ball.

Moreover, he couldn't prevent Durant from receiving the ball.

Durant's length and height are larger than him by more than one size, and a lean person is even taller. Weixia's defense of Durant seems to be misplaced at first glance.

Even if Wei Xia smashed Durant's bottom, he can still lift the 228 cm wingspan to ask for the ball.

Teammates are smart enough to give a lob, and all problems can be solved.

But his teammates don't see him.

Durant ran for 15 seconds and recognized the result.

He stopped, and Wei Xia immediately posted it, and there was that trash talk.

Durant couldn't refute Wei Xia, and didn't want to admit that what he said was right, so he had to say all kinds of nonsense, such as "I can play a role without the ball in my hand", "real scorers always come out last", and "my teammates have other arrangements". His nonsensical words made Wei Xia laugh out loud.

In an instant, the rest of the Thunder proved their ability to handle offense without giving Durant the ball.

Everyone is scolding Westbrook, and everyone wants to learn from Westbrook.

Look at Tim Hardaway Jr., he held the ball at the top of the arc, rushed to the basket and faced the help defense of the two 76ers inside, and had no intention of retreating.

His layup was destroyed, and the referee's whistle followed.

"Your teammates really have other plans." Wei Xia boldly guessed, if it was O'Neill, there was such a good one-on-one opportunity, and one or two of the teammates could not pass the ball, I am afraid that they would have scolded the grandmothers of these people to death, right?

However, it can't be said that, the current young people are always ignoring the boss's wishes to force themselves, it is hard to guarantee that it is not the bad influence brought by Kobe.

Wei Xia calmed down and thought about it. The homework of not passing the ball to the boss seems to be an elective course. Few of the team's role players dare to learn it. Looking at other teams, who doesn't come to the boss without Zhang Handball?
So this is still the Thunder's own problem, or, Kevin Durant is not the boss of this team?

Wei Xia discovered a huge blind spot, and the look in Durant's eyes changed from the original incomprehension to the sympathy and regret now.

Questioned by his own media off the field, fans in Oklahoma City felt that Westbrook was more bloody than him, and his teammates on the field did not treat him as a green onion.

"Don't look at me like that." Durant said psychologically.

Watching Hardaway Jr. make two free throws, Wei Xia suddenly said: "KD, you deserve a better team."

Wei Xia's channel-changing chat made Durant unacceptable. He spat trash talk for a while, questioned Durant's team position for a while, and began to understand him again for a while, suggesting to change teams?
Who is this person?
During the communication between Wei Xia and Durant, he found that he did not have any plans for his future.

When it came time to switch teams, Durant's reaction made things interesting.

He was very excited, as if someone had dug out the biggest picture in his heart.Maybe he didn't make up his mind, but there are so many nonsense things happening on and off the court, hasn't he considered it?
What era is this?

This is an era in which a player devoted himself to the team, but the opponent gave him a big contract when the contract expired, but the parent team refused to match the contract because of potential injuries and sent away the No.1 future league;

This is an era when players gradually realize that their influence can overcome the barriers of management and use their connections to form super teams.

Durant suddenly called out and asked for a lot of balls.

Weixia's defense suppressed Durant's various unreasonable strong hits to less than 50%.

Durant took the initiative to engage in a high-intensity offensive and defensive matchup with Wei Xia.

Playing like this is beneficial to Wei Xia, because he has excellent offense and defense, and Durant's defense is limited in front of Wei Xia.

So Durant played hard with the ball, and Wei Xia can slowly figure out how to defend. He doesn't like being forced into that position today, and he doesn't like what kind of confrontation is given to him.

Concentration and carefulness are in the counterpoint between the two.

Compared with Durant's monotonous offensive style, Wei Xia's offensive end is full of tricks.

He suddenly forced, stopped suddenly, and turned sideways to the free throw line to make a skyhook;

Continuous behind-the-back dribbles connected to Buddha, and Durant made an emergency stop and made a jump shot;

The moment the audience stood up, Wei Xia activated his right hand, turned around and knocked down Durant, who was exerting force on him, threw high with one hand, leaped over Ibaka's blocker, and scored with a rebound.

Wei Xia didn't start the offense as many times as Durant, but he made the most beautiful moves every time.

The difference between high and low has come out.

Durant may have the best talent, but he still hasn't reached the same level as Wei Xia.

The 31-year-old Wei Xia is still standing on the highest mountain in the world.

After 8 minutes in the first quarter, 24 to 19, the 76ers led by 5 points. Weixia scored 12 points in a single quarter and was replaced for a rest.

Durant later restored his status as a team, but his mentality collapsed, and the one-on-one against Wecha did not perform to his normal level.

The game enters the transition period.

One characteristic of the 76ers and the Thunder is that the starting lineup is strong, and the second lineup also has good talents.

The biggest problem for the 76ers now is that Holiday, who has been responsible for propping up the second team for the past two years, has no return date. They need to establish a new core for the second team.

Wei Xia sat down on the court, and just took a sip of water when he saw Durant lose his temper off the court.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, it seems that someone gave KD a towel that someone else used."

The 76ers' rookie Oubre wentssip.

"Oh, for this matter." Wei Xia smiled lightly.

Durant's mentality was obviously affected by him, and the Thunder didn't pay enough attention to him. He lost his temper, and the coaching staff didn't even ask him. The veterans of the team came forward to persuade him.

Wei Xia feels more and more that next summer, Durant will change his court.

Now, he is willing to continue to play with Durant's mentality. Although they are good friends, he really feels that staying in Oklahoma is also a waste of youth.

The experience in Los Angeles told him that a city that truly recognizes you will hold you in its hands.A city that doesn't take you seriously will only be tortured if you stay there.
