Legendary basketball manager

Durant and Oden participated in the draft in the same year, and both are extremely talented.

But the amazing thing is that the skill points and life experiences of the two are completely different.

Auden was an "orthodox" genius.

Whether it is static talent or dynamic talent, he is almost perfect.

Many people regard him as the most dominant center after O'Neill, a genius among geniuses who meet once in 50 years.

In the rookie physical test, Oden is better than Durant in all statistics.

From the strength of the inside players, to the bounce of the forward players, to the speed of the outside players...

In each case, Oden is the better one.

At that time, Durant couldn't even do a bench press.

That's why, the Blazers chose Oden, who had potential injuries, instead of KD, who had performed at a historical level in the NCAA.

But Durant has his "unicorn" talent.

He has been with basketball since he was a child, and he has "children's skills".Dribbling, shooting and other skills, he was already very mature before he entered the NBA.

He is tall and long-armed, has the top static talent among forward players, and his jumping and explosive power are also above average.

He scores like a bag, a natural scoring machine...

These unique talents allow Durant to be the best player on the court despite his poor physical condition.

Simply put, Oden and KD are like two sides of the same coin.

Their talents are very different, but when they first entered the NBA, they were equally good.

But the draft meeting also became a watershed between the two.

Oden joined the young guards with Roy and Aldridge - the Trail Blazers; while Durant went to the supersonic speed that was waiting to be done.

The former had to start as a blue-collar and auxiliary, while the latter became the core of the team from the very beginning, with unlimited firepower.

A season later, Oden began to be frequently affected by injuries, while Durant successfully leveled up and started the road to super giants.

So far, the life trajectories of the two have developed in different directions, one going up and the other going down, and it seems that there will never be any intersection again.

Until...that man appeared!

The birth of Shen Fei turned Auden's career, which was on the verge of being "broken", to a turning point.

Now, the emperor, who is back to health, once again got a chance to compete with Durant.

It is worth mentioning that after Oden came back not long ago and showed good physical condition, some media immediately began to discuss-if the draft was rearranged in 07, who would be the No. [-] pick?

This topic has generated extensive discussion.

But what is surprising is that even though Durant averaged 30+ points per game last year and was selected as an All-Star, many people still think...

If re-election, Oden will still be the No. [-] pick.

The discussion this time was very hot, and many professional football commentators and retired celebrities participated in it.

And Durant, who loves surfing the Internet, also saw this information by chance.

Therefore, long before the start of the game, he decided to use an extreme personal performance to end the discussion.

Today, the two have made eye contact many times since the third quarter.

Whether it is Oden or Durant, they can see a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

............

The rest of the third quarter became a moment of confrontation between the two.

Oden wreaked havoc inside the Thunder.

Even Ibaka, who defends him, has shown the potential to defend the gate in the past games.

Oden's scoring method is very simple and rude-you Ibaka can indeed jump, but I use my strength to crush you into the three-second zone, and then use confrontation to prevent you from jumping, how can you defend?

Watching the emperor "ravage" Ibaka like chopping melons and vegetables, Brooks on the coaching bench, and Thunder general manager Presti in the stands, all had an urgent idea: a big center must be brought in. !

No matter how good Ibaka's body is, he is essentially just a power forward.

He is very strong against a team that is average inside, but when he meets a dominant center, he seems powerless.

Fortunately, although the Thunder are weak in defense, they still rely on fierce offensive firepower to cling to the point difference.

In the third quarter, Durant staged a "death comes" drama.

Because of the existence of Westbrook and Harden, the Rockets dare not attack kd, and always adopt a single defense strategy.

But neither Danny Green nor Tony Allen, who came off the bench later, could hardly stop Durant's pace.

Kd not only listened to the coach's advice, increased off-ball offense, but also decisively played singles with the ball at the right time.

Every time Tony Allen is about to put him on the body, Durant can always avoid it cleverly, using four or two tricks to score or assist.

Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, saw KD's performance, and the sense of crisis in his heart increased a lot.

[In this time and space, Durant and Harden have evolved faster. ]

[If things go on like this, no matter how stupid and stingy the detonator is, I'm afraid he will try his best to keep the third master. ]

He thought so in his heart.

In his previous life, Shen Fei often played 2K (an nba game). In the dynasty mode, Thunderclap, who did not dismantle the team, basically established a dynasty and became the most powerful existence.

Now, this situation seems to be staged in reality.

However, after Shen Fei was briefly surprised, the sense of crisis in his heart was gradually replaced by excitement.

After all, with a foreseeable and strong opponent, the next few years will not be boring!

............

The confrontation between the two teams continued until the fourth quarter.

In the last 3 minutes, the score came to 115:113, and the Rockets only led by two points.

After a timeout, both sides deployed their strongest lineups, and the game entered the final battle.

The Rockets played here: Jeremy Lin, Roy, Tony Allen, Tucker, Oden;

The Thunder are: Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Jeff Green, Ibaka.

The game restarted, and the Rockets served in the backcourt.

After Shu Hao passed the half court with the ball, he handed the ball to Roy.

At the last moment of the game, the approach of most NBA teams is to hand the ball to the ace, and the same is true for the Rockets.

After Roy got the ball, he met Harden's defense.

I saw him dribble the ball to his left hand with a crotch dribble, and then a feint in&out.

Roy's movements are not fast, but the rhythm is very good.

However, Harden moved in small steps this time, always staying in the defensive position.

When a plan failed, Roy did not rush to attack, but took two steps back, and opened his hand to signal his teammates to pick and roll.

Tucker rushed over and used a solid cover to firmly block Harden, and Roy got rid of the defense.

And Jeff Green, who came out with the shoe king, is considered a faster insider.

He switched defenses with Harden immediately, blocking Roy's way forward.

However, the Yellow Mamba suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and an acceleration passed Jeff Green's side.

After rushing to the inside, Roy rushed the ball into the basket with a throw before Ibaka made up.

117:113, the Rockets lead by four points!

In the transition between offense and defense, Westbrook forced a breakthrough and rushed into the inside line "carrying the explosive package".

Oden and Tucker hurriedly retracted, ready to protect the basket.

In the blink of an eye, Westbrook suddenly released the ball, and Harden received the ball from the outside.

Tony Allen showed terrifying lateral speed and rushed to the game.

However, Harden did not rush to take the shot, but calmly passed the ball to Durant on the side.

Now, even Mr. Tony, it was too late to return to the defensive position.

Durant raised the knife and made a steady three-pointer.

117:116, only one point left.

On the way back to defense, Durant said, "I'll defend Brandon!"

Harden nodded when he heard the words, but did not refuse.

Soon, Roy received a pass from the outside and signaled for a single.

Facing Durant's defense, Huang Mamba chose to use it to make a breakthrough.

KD gritted his teeth and followed like a shadow.

The two entangled all the way from the three-point line to the free throw line. Roy suddenly exerted force while walking, and turned around after the confrontation...

Durant was bumped and took a step back uncontrollably.

Roy shot immediately.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

119:116, only 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

The defensive failure did not change Durant's mentality.

He came to the baseline with a calm face to catch the ball and dribbled it straight across the half court.

Tony Allen stepped forward to defend, but he moved too much and was whistled for a foul.

Durant walked to the free throw line and got two points firmly.

At 119:118, the game became intense.

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

.......

All Thunder fans stood up and cheered for the home team.

In such an atmosphere, the players forget their fatigue and devote themselves to defense.

Durant made a rare "mad dog" defense, which prevented Roy from receiving the ball.

Shuhao waited for more than ten seconds, but was still unable to hand over the ball, and finally had to choose to attack by himself.

Facing Westbrook's extremely aggressive defense, Brother Hao was not timid, but faced up to the difficulties and made a tank-like breakthrough.

It is true that his physical fitness is weaker than that of his opponents, but the comparison on the basketball court is not the value on paper.

For example, now, Westbrook obviously did not expect that Shuhao would choose to use strength and speed to "eat raw".

Hesitate and you will lose!

Jeremy successfully passed Westbrook.

After breaking into the penalty area, Brother Hao still did not slow down.

Facing Ibaka who was supplementing the defense, he directly made a three-step layup.

As the saying goes, the brave who meet in a narrow way wins.

When Shuhao lost his center of gravity after the confrontation, he flicked his wrist lightly, and the basketball magically hit the basketball into the frame.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded...

and. one!

The arena, which was originally noisy, became quiet in an instant.

After Shuhao was pulled up by his teammates, he excitedly waved his fist.

"Hey~~~ Shuhao's ball is too tough!"

"Student Wei Shao, and then scored 2+1 on Ibaka's head, this is the future point guard of the Huaxia men's basketball team!"

Zhang Weiping commented excitedly.

It is a pity that Shuhao failed to make the extra penalty amidst the boos of the audience.

121:118, the point difference is still within one round.

In the transition between offense and defense, Harden held the ball and with the help of a screen, replaced the defender with Jeremy.

"Pull it off, pull it all off!"

Westbrook yelled and signaled to clear the right side of the court so that Harden could play singles.

Soon, only Shuhao and Brother Deng were left on one side of the venue.

Harden lowered his center of gravity and made continuous crotch dribbles.

Every time he lowers his crotch, he is accompanied by a fake movement of his shoulders, as if he is about to speed up his breakthrough in the next moment.

Shuhao's feet kept moving, trying not to lose his position.

But in the end, Harden passed him with a sudden crossover.

After arriving at the basket, Deng met Oden's supplementary defense.

I saw that while he was receiving the ball, he stepped out with his left foot, but changed direction the next moment, and stepped out with his right foot to the right.

Eurostep!

This is Harden's usual way of ending!
