Chapter 216
For Thunder's Kevin Durant, Ying Xiong has watched a lot of his game videos.I have to admit that Durant is a super scorer with killer instinct, and his future is immeasurable. With a height of about 210cm and a wingspan of more than 220cm, it is basically impossible to block shots under agile shooting movements.What's even more frightening is that this spider-like player also has the dribbling and speed of a defender.Not just a simple tall pitcher, that's what sets him apart the most.

Ying Xiong lamented that the NBA is really full of talents, and there are all kinds of talents.It is a very challenging job to get ahead in this league, especially in the most competitive No. 1, 2, and 3 positions in this league.

Ying Xiong defended Durant in a close-fitting manner, starting without the ball.He knows very well that the best way to defend a player who focuses on shooting is to be close.Of course, the disadvantage of being close is also obvious, that is, it is easy to be passed by the opponent in one step.For him, it is because he has absolute confidence in his speed that he dares to do that.

The Bucks fans in the stands were very excited. They didn't expect the Asian rookie in their team to be so active. Kevin Durant, who dared to fight a talented scorer and has long arms and legs, was really brave.

Durant was very disgusted with Ying Xiong playing so seriously in this kind of game that had nothing to do with the season's goals.He doesn't like this kind of rookie who wants to get ahead to defend himself. Generally, this kind of rookie will choose to fight himself. This is the way he doesn't like the game.He doesn't like hand-to-hand combat, and prefers to fight while floating and running.

Ying Xiong's close defense effect is obvious. In this offensive round, Durant failed to catch the ball successfully.

Here Jeff Green missed a jumper, Gadzuric received the rebound and handed it to Ridnour to advance.

Ying Xiong ran over and wandered outside the 3-point line. It was Durant who defended him before.

Seeing the matchup between the two, the fans in the stands didn't think it was a big deal, and one even shouted: "Yes, kill Kevin Durant!"

Ying Xiong also heard a similar voice, and smiled wryly in his heart, are you too flattering me or looking down on Durant too much!
The Bucks' ball rights are concentrated in the hands of two small guards Ridnour and Sessions.However, since the team in the starting lineup does not have an absolute offensive strength, even if they keep holding the ball, they will pass the ball out to other teammates for finishing even if they cannot attack.

Off the ball is not Yingxiong's strong point, but it's not like he can't play.Shao Ziqiang once said that Yingxiong's basketball IQ can survive in any system. The key lies in whether he is willing to change his style of play and whether he is willing to do something that he is not used to.

——In his previous basketball career, Ying Xiong was the number one ball-handler in the team, but now he has transformed into a pure off-ball + defensive player. The contrast is quite rare.

But this is the NBA, if you can't adapt, you can only be eliminated.About this point, Ying Xiong was very clear.

Sessions missed a jump shot, Ying Xiong suddenly started to grab the rebound, but at this moment, a small guard flew over and hugged the rebound tightly with both hands.

After grabbing the rebound, the little guard accelerated with nitrogen in the backcourt, and his indomitable momentum was surprising.Ying Xiong looked up, and this person turned out to be the No. 4 rookie selected by the opponent this year-Russell Westbrook, the owner of the No. 0 jersey.

Russell Westbrook sprinted forward, but Ridnour couldn't catch up, so he had no choice but to draw a tactical foul.

Ying Xiong was very shocked, the game on the video was completely different from the game he participated in on the field.He knew that Russell Westbrook was a boy full of energy, but when he witnessed it with his own eyes and competed with him, the visual perception was even more shocking.

The last time Ying Xiong saw such a strong point guard with his own eyes was Derrick Rose, the No. [-] pick selected by the Bulls this season.Coincidentally, both of these violent point guards are from the same class.Of course, so do I.

Here, Jeff Green played Mbah a Moute in a low-post single, using his skilled post-up skills, coupled with the advantages of his physical condition, he easily turned around and hit a jumper!
Ying Xiong knew that Jeff Green, who was wearing the No. 22 jersey, graduated from a prestigious basketball school—Georgetown, and was an alumnus of his idol Allen Iverson.Jeff Green was selected by the Celtics with the 2007th pick in the first round in 5, and then in the Ray Allen trade, he was sent to the Seattle SuperSonics at the time, and he became the No. [-] pick Kevin Durant. teammate.

Ying Xiong believes that Jeff Green is a big and small forward swingman with comprehensive skills and strong physical fitness. He can do almost everything, has no technical shortcomings, and has great star potential.But his shortcomings are actually obvious, that is, he has no trump card and no signature technology.To put it nicely, it means "everything technically", but to put it badly, it means "not good at anything".If this type of player develops well, he is a superstar, and no matter how poorly he is an All-Star; but if his development is not good, he may become a role player without "one trick" skills, and his minimum limit is terribly low.

The Thunder currently let Jeff Green play the 4th position, obviously making way for Kevin Durant.Durant, who is taller and has a longer wingspan, doesn't want to play the 4th position, so Jeff Green can only sacrifice and feel wronged to play the 4th position.In this kind of team with multiple potential stocks, there is also an embarrassment, that is, it is impossible to cultivate all potential stocks comprehensively.Because the resources on the field are limited after all, the forward position, Durant, who is the focus of training, and Green can only play a supporting role.

Of course, Russell Westbrook in the backcourt is not very affected. He is a point guard and does not overlap with Durant. The team can choose to train together.

The outside world calls the Thunder's Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Jeff Green the "Three Young Thunder", which is enough to illustrate the potential of the three and their optimism for their future.

Although the Thunder team has a poor record at present, the future is bright.When these potential stocks in the team realize their talents, it is time for the team to achieve results.

Ying Xiongcai doesn't care how famous you are as "Three Young Masters of Thunder", you just do it on the court, whether you are a potential stock or a future star, I am not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet.

Here Durant was posted by Ying Xiong and had no chance to catch the ball. With the help of Krstic's off-ball screen for him, he got the space and received a pass from Westbrook.

Durant took a step, suddenly pulled up high, and shot a jumper-hit!
Ying Xiong was still a step slower. When the opponent jumped up to shoot, it was too late to block the shot again.
