Chapter 222 Light and Misunderstood

After Yuan Su's 1 attack and 2 passes in the opening game, the Cavaliers opened the game with a 6-0 start, and immediately gave the Thunder a bad start at the Japan National Gymnasium.

Varejao, who scored 4 points in this climax, was the most excited. After dunking hard under the basket, he rarely yelled at the camera and patted his chest. He could only watch helplessly as he complained about his injury last season. The resentment of watching the team slip from the top spot to barely making the playoffs.

Yuan Su's style in the first quarter was completely different from before. Most of the offense was initiated from the outside. This made Ibaka, who was defending Yuan Su, feel a little weak. After all, defending the outside line is not his specialty, and his ability to block shots There is no way to play.

At the end of the first quarter, Yuan Su contributed 6 points, not many points, but he sent out 8 assists in the first quarter, almost sending out all the players who played in the first quarter.Under Yuan Su's unconventional performance, the Cavaliers also led the Thunder by 33 points 23-10 in the first quarter.

When Yuan Su kept sending out assists, Kenny Smith even said a few "unbelievable", because Yuan Su's assists were really wonderful, and among the current players, there is no player who can have Yuan Su's or a similar pass. In terms of ball style, Yuan Su's passing is completely light-handed.

Barkley, after thinking hard for the whole quarter, finally remembered that person, and quickly said: "Yuan Su's playing style reminds me of a person."

"Who? Could it be you again?" Smith said jokingly.

"Of course not." This time Barkley was very serious, "This person is 'Penny' Anfernee Hardaway."

Smith, who was reminded by Barkley, seemed to suddenly realize it. After thinking about it for a moment, he couldn't help but nod his head to express his agreement with Barkley's view.

"That's right. After you reminded me, there are some similarities." Smith said, "Could it be that Yuan Su is training with Anferney recently? I haven't heard that the Cavaliers have hired Anferney as an assistant coach."

While the two were still chattering with a hint of doubt, the second quarter began.

Before going on the field, Yuan Su skillfully loosened his trouser belt, then tightened it again, then blew on the palms of his left and right hands, and walked onto the field.

The Thunder, which trailed by 10 points in the first quarter, did not dare to be careless. Although Perkins and Westbrook were replaced for a rest, Nick Collison and "Old Fish" Derek Fisher were replaced. Let, with the addition of James Harden, who is the main sixth man, on the court, and Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka who remain on the court, the Thunder opened the second quarter. The lineup is no worse than at the beginning of the first quarter.

The Thunder attacked first, and Durant was once again challenged by Leonard's defense.Durant, who made only 9 of 3 shots in the first quarter, changed his style of play at the beginning of the second quarter. Unstoppable after getting up, Leonard ate the opponent's fake shot this time. When he readjusted the center, Durant had already reached the basket and made a one-handed dunk, narrowing the difference between the two teams to 8 points.

Leonard clapped his hands together in frustration, and Yuan Su, who ran past Leonard, patted the opponent's butt lightly, signaling that he should not care about the ball.

In the second quarter, the Thunder strengthened their defense against Yuan Su. Ibaka was switched to Leonard, and at this moment the player defending Yuan Su became Durant.This was Durant's request at the end of the first quarter. On the one hand, Durant believed that Yuan Su's outside style of play was not suitable for Ibaka to defend. On the other hand, Durant, who had practiced defense this summer, He is very confident in himself, and wants to completely lock Yuan Su, who performed brilliantly in the first quarter, through his own defense.

Facing the Thunder's defensive substitutions, Yuan Su showed a contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth.

Even though Durant was already sticking close to Yuan Su's defense, Yuan Su who was holding the ball still rushed towards Durant's direction. The movement towards himself made Durant a little at a loss, but when he was only 0.01 centimeters away from Durant, Yuan Su's direction suddenly changed, a quick and flexible dribble turned around, and then followed by a jump , the next second, Yuan Su dunked the ball into the basket with one hand, and all the movements were done in one go, but at this moment Durant was still standing there, watching Yuan Su pass him by without any reaction. !
"Qingmiao Shenqiao!" Seeing Yuan Su's extraordinary turn this time, Barkley and Smith said these four words almost in unison.

"Lightness" is exactly the unique weapon of "Penny" Anfernee Hardaway, who was famous in the prestige league. With chic, flexible, and elusive turns, the basketball skills of turning around and passing the defending players were in the league at that time. , even Michael Jordan's turning around is not as natural and freehand as Hardaway's, and he has reached the point where he can do whatever he wants.

"Charles, your vision is right this time. Yuan Su's style of play is very similar to that of Anferney back then. I didn't expect that after more than 10 years, I would see the 'penny' unique stadium on the court again. The stunt!" When Smith said these words, his voice was a little trembling, which was enough to explain the excitement in his heart at the moment.

Barkley curled his lips and said, "The most practical killer move back then was my ass."

"." Smith's eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked at Barkley, who was boasting again, speechlessly.

At this time, Harden missed a three-pointer on the court, and the Cavaliers got a rebound and began to counterattack. Owen held the ball and passed the obviously old Fisher, and met Durant's return shot at the top of the arc of the two-pointer. A large two-pointer was made, but it was a pity that the ball hit the front of the basket and popped forward.

Ibaka, who was guarding the basket, was about to put the rebound, which seemed to be in his pocket, into his arms, when he suddenly found a figure running from behind, jumped up high, and held the rebound with one hand in the air. The ball is in the hands.

Ibaka clearly saw that it was Cavaliers power forward Yuan Su who grabbed the rebound and landed on the basket. His reaction speed is also extremely fast, and he immediately jumped up to block the shot.

When Ibaka discovered that Yuan Su disappeared from his sight, he was extremely surprised, because just a moment ago, the opponent was jumping up in the air, right in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared .

Yuan Su faced Ibaka's defense in the air, and unexpectedly made an incredible turn in the air, directly bypassing Ibaka's frontal blockage. After turning around and staying in the air, he drifted to the right rear of Ibaka, and then The ball was switched to the left hand and lightly put into the basket.

The turn around in the air this time is still a kind of "Penny" Hardaway's unique trick "Misty Mistake".

"My God!" Smith put his head in his hands when he saw the ball, and said loudly to Barkley, "Charles, how did this guy Yuan Su defeat Anferney's trick in such a short period of time?" Learned?"

It seemed that he didn't hear Smith's question, and Barkley just kept saying in his own mouth: "It's a little bit of a miracle, it's a little bit of a miracle."

The main method of this move, which has been repeated repeatedly by the two TNT commentators, is to rely on turning around to perform a series of escape movements.The reason why it is called "Light Misty God's Difference" is because Hardaway's turn is very light and ethereal, and only God can see the subtle difference between Hardaway's turn and ordinary turn.In other words, everyone thought Hardaway's turn looked the same as everyone else's turn, but no one could achieve the effect Hardaway used.And after making a turn around, whether he shoots the ball or passes the ball by himself, it is almost up to Hardaway himself to do whatever he wants.

Seeing Yuan Su's continued excellence on the court, winning the cheers and screams of the Japanese fans at the scene, Durant couldn't sit still.

As soon as the Thunder's offense reached halftime, Durant came to the outside to ask for the ball from Fisher. After getting the ball, Durant hadn't made any preparations to attack. The successful steal made Durant break out in a cold sweat again.

Durant, who has been entangled by the rookie since the beginning of the game, was irritated. Before the opponent's body's center of gravity could be fully recovered after the steal, he immediately broke through the opponent and rushed to the basket. Leonard caught up from behind. Following Durant closely, Durant was a little surprised by the pressing speed and reaction, and his attention was also focused on getting rid of Leonard's pursuit, while ignoring everything that happened in front of him.

There was only a "bang", and then the whistle sounded. The referee pointed to Durant, who was standing there with the ball and his face was stunned, and signaled for an offensive foul!Varejao, who was sitting on the ground, waved his arms excitedly.It turned out that Varejao beautifully made Durant an offensive foul!
Although the ball seems to be credited to Varejao, in fact at least half of the credit belongs to Leonard, because it was Leonard's defense that made Durant focus on the opponent. Thus ignoring Varejao's actions in front of him, otherwise as alert as Durant, how could it be possible for Varejao, whose movement speed is obviously not as good as his, to make a foul.

The Cavaliers took advantage of this offensive foul to gain possession of the ball, and Gibson, who came off the bench in the second quarter, made a cold shot from the outside and scored 3 points. The score gap between the two sides widened instead.

Seeing the bad momentum on the field, Thunder coach Scott Brooks immediately called for a timeout.Back in the player's area, the Thunder team gathered around Brooks, and after a while, there was a heated argument, and Durant's expression seemed to eat the person he was arguing with alive.After a heated quarrel, the Thunder reached a consensus.

After re-playing, Westbrook and Perkins came back. At this time, the second quarter lasted less than 3 minutes, and Westbrook, who saw the opponent, was back. Cavaliers coach Byron Scott did not dare Carelessly, replace Kyrie Irving.

When Yuan Su got the ball for the first time after the Thunder timeout, he was surprised to find that the two players standing in front of him were Ibaka and Durant!This means that the Thunder implemented a complete double-team defense against Yuan Su!

It seems that the key point of the Thunder team's debate just now is whether to double-team Yuan Su. It seems that Durant advocates double-teaming this tactic.In fact, in the last season, the Thunder took advantage of Yuan Su's tactic to take a 2-1 lead, because in the last season, as long as Yuan Su was completely prevented, the Cavaliers would lose. It has almost become a foregone conclusion, and this has become the tactic adopted by many teams against the Cavaliers.

In this case, Yuan Su did not choose to pass the ball, but seemed to be more excited, and even the strength of hitting the ball on the spot was almost a little stronger.

After dribbling the ball 3 or 4 times on the spot, Yuan Su suddenly made a breakthrough to his left, that is, the direction of Ibaka. When he was close to Ibaka, he turned around and passed Ibaka all at once, but At this moment, Durant also took advantage of the time delay caused by Ibaka's defense, and quickly moved to the route of Yuan Su's breakthrough, blocking Yuan Su in front of his defense again.

Yuan Su didn't pause at all. After dribbling the ball back and forth twice, she suddenly changed from a frontal dribble to a back-to-back dribble, and then turned around to throw Durant away again.But this time Durant seemed to have made sufficient preparations. When Yuan Su just turned around, he judged the direction of Yuan Su's turn and rushed over immediately. Time was delayed, and Ibaka also defended again, forming an encirclement trend with Durant.

"Good job, then Yuan Su is finished!" Westbrook, who was standing on the outside line and observing closely, was overjoyed, thinking that as long as Yuan Su was guarded, the Cavaliers would almost die!
However, just before the encirclement formed, Yuan Su turned around and used inertia to receive the ball directly with his left hand, and flicked the ball out of the opponent's encirclement. In this way, although Durant and Ibaka surrounded Yuan Su Get up, but the basketball has long been out of control.

Because of the opponent's double-teaming, Leonard of the Cavaliers has been emptied. After receiving a wonderful pass from Yuan Su outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, Leonard raised his hands high, in a very standard way. The posture throws the ball, and the three-pointer hits hollow!

"In addition to defending, this guy can shoot three-pointers!" Durant thought in surprise.You must know that Leonard had never made a single shot before this ball!
"Idiot, it's not that Kawhi can't shoot. He just focused his energy on defending you." Seeming to see through Durant's surprise, Yuan Su left this sentence and walked away.

In the next Cavaliers offense, Yuan Su's possession of the ball was once again resolutely double-teamed by the Thunder, but what was different this time was that Westbrook stood on the passing route between Yuan Su and Leonard.

"Think this is enough? How naive." Thinking of this, Yuan Su suddenly passed the ball to the outside after dribbling the ball under the dizzy crotch. point!
After scoring the goal, Irving raised his hands high and high-fived Yuan Su and Leonard who were running past him.

Sweat was dripping from Durant's forehead, which was not good. Yuan Su had found a trustworthy right-hand man. It seemed that this game was not easy to play.

Yuan Su kept clapping his hands, encouraging his teammates not to relax their vigilance, this was only the second quarter of the game.However, what everyone didn't notice was that only in the middle of the second quarter, Yuan Su had already scored a double-double with 10 points and 10 assists!
