The Thunder have a record of 42 wins and 12 servings, and they beat the Spurs in the Western Conference.
It’s just that the NBA schedule has entered February, and all teams will inevitably have some injuries. The Thunder team is also the same. Their second-hand Westbrook is on the injury list, and the second one is only another Du. Rand.
However, there is only one Durant Thunder team, which is also terrible in the regular season. Durant this season, averaging 32 points per game, can be described as full firepower. Durant also showed his ability as a superstar. In the last month, Durant led the team to defeat the Rockets, the Warriors, the Blazers, the Spurs, and then went to Miami to triple. Giants, many people now think that what Durant is only missing is a championship ring. When he gets the championship ring, he can crush James and become the first person in the league.
…
Durant stood on the field, he looked at the Zhang Guan not far away, a sense of tension rose in his heart.
“I’m getting nervous!” Durant took a deep breath and calmed down. Whether before playing the Spurs or the Heat, Durant did not feel nervous, and now leading the team to play the second-lowest Lakers in the West, his heart is like a galloping horse, and it is difficult to calm.
“Zhang Guan, I have to face Zhang Guan again!” Durant couldn’t help but think of the defeat of the Men’s World Championships four years ago. It was Durant’s most difficult game and it was his impression. The deepest defeat.
“This time, I can’t lose!” Durant snorted, and Ibaka’s jump ball lost to Kaman the next moment, and the Lakers have started their first attack.
“Defense Zhang Guan!” Durant focused his attention on Zhang Guan’s body, but unexpectedly the ball was passed to Kaman, then Kaman assisted Marshall, a three-pointer into an open space.
“Give me the ball!” Durant shouted at Ibaka. Ibaka hesitated, and instead of serving the ball to Reggie Jackson, he gave it to Durant.
Then Durant hit the iron once.
The Lakers grabbed a rebound and the ball reached Zhang Guan’s hands, and Zhang Guan also started to charge the first time.
“Zhang Guan’s fast break!” Durant’s heart tightened, and he went towards Zhang Guan without hesitation.
At this moment, Zhang Guan attracted three Thunder defenders, including Durant.
“Block his layup line!” Durant yelled, raising his hand to block.
At this moment, Zhang Guan shook his wrist and passed the ball to the follow-up Marshall. Marshall opened the shot and scored two points.
Durant did not believe in evil, and took the initiative to ask for the ball again, ushering in a 3-point jumper for Wesley Johnson’s defense.
Strike two times!
After Zhang Guan got the ball, he quickly counterattacked again, and Marshall also followed. This time the Thunder were well-studied and divided to defend Marshall. However, Zhang Guan used a layup to deceive a foul and then added a penalty.
Durant attacked for the third time and finally hit a two-pointer, then Marshall missed a three-pointer, but the ball fell just in front of Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan picked up a rebound and hit the middle distance again.
Ibaka missed a shot, Jordan Hill layup was blocked, Wesley Johnson grabbed the ball and passed to Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan also scored two points on a mid-range jumper.
The Thunder called for a short timeout, the Staples Stadium was a jubilant, and the 11-2 start was imaginable for many people. But no one could guess before the game, the Lakers got 11 points, and the Thunder only got 2 points!
“What’s the matter, is this really the Thunder? Are they not the No. 1 in the West? How is the rhythm of being beaten by the Lakers at the start!”
“The Lakers’ shooting percentage is too high, but the Thunder keeps hitting iron, starting four in one, Durant missed two goals.”
“To be honest, none of the three Durant’s shots had the right timing. Even the ball that was scored had a lot of luck in it. Today, when Durant opened, he seemed too eager to score. !”
Many discerning people can see that today’s Durant played very unreasonably in the beginning, completely like a new man eager to express himself, rather than the usual superstar level Durant.
Back from the timeout, Marshall was replaced by Blake after two consecutive errors, and Zhang Guan also opened the scoring mode.
Reggie Jackson, who had just started to watch Zhang Guan, was broken by Zhang Guan consecutively. He thought he lost two fouls unreasonably and quickly took a rest.
After all, Reggie Jackson is only a third-year student after all, and because of Shao Wei’s injury, he was promoted to the starting position. It is inevitable that some self-confidence will swell. As a result, Zhang Guan has been educated.
Under desperation, the Thunder had to change to Sovrosa to defend the crown.
Sovrosa is known for his strong defense, and he has also been in the NBA defensive second team. At that time, Sovrosa could put Harden on the bench. The big reason is that Sovrosa’s defense is good enough.
Sovrosa’s defense is much stronger than Reggie Jackson. He belongs to the type of individual defense. He has height, wingspan and speed. The close-fitting defense is very oppressive, and the downside is very stable. This kind of defense is especially aimed at those tough attackers. In this season, the Spurs Leonard, the Heat Wade, the Rockets Harden are in Sovrosa suffered a loss.
However, in the face of some perverted and accurate pitchers, there is no chance of confrontation with you at all. Raise your hand and cast. The shot can still enter, and Sovrosa will not work. For example, when playing the Warriors, Curry and Thompson, So Flossa was an unguarded one. Curry scored 37 points on the Thunder, and Thompson also scored 26 points. Fortunately, Durant broke a 54 point, which made the Thunder finally win the game.
When Zhang Guan saw Sovrosa coming to defend himself, he simply took the ball.
“Hey, Zhang Guan voted, really dare to vote!”
“Hey, I can really go in!”
CCTV’s commentary constantly repeats these two sentences.
Looking at this scene, the Thunder coach frowned, and at this time the Thunder could not find anyone else to restrict Zhang Guan.
In addition to Reggie Jackson and Sovrosa, the Thunder’s two backup guards are Jeremy Lamb and “Old Fish” Fisher. Lamb’s thin body does not have to count on him for defense. As for Fisher, forty years old, there is a defensive loophole on the court, a young defender can bully him.
The Thunder still misses Wei Shao incomparably. If there is such a **** defense, Zhang Guan may not score so easily.
But the Thunder can’t limit the crown, the Lakers can’t limit Durant, and even Reggie Jackson and Ibaka can’t limit it. After all, the current Lakers have no defensive players at all. It’s just that the two will not have many mobile phones, and the Thunder’s main possession is still in Durant’s hands.
Durant made a total of 16 shots in the first half, but only hit 5 goals, and the shooting rate was only 30%, which can be said to be poor. It is also because of Durant’s downturn that the Thunder ended in the first half. At the time, it was still 9 points behind, and the score of both sides was 54 to 45.
In the second half, Durant finally recovered some feelings. Although the three-pointer still hits the iron, the mid-range shot is very accurate.
The Lakers’ defense against Durant is also symbolic. D’Antoni was originally bombarded, and the demand for defense is not so strong. Now there is no defensive person under D’Antoni, plus Durant was originally It’s not going to be able to prevent it, so I don’t want it at all. Let Durant cast it!
While playing, Durant also shot Hi, and Durant made this shot, it is difficult for other players of the Thunder to have a chance to shoot.
The game became a shooting competition between Zhang Guan and Durant.
“Durant, CIC, score!”
“Zhang Guan stopped the jumper, there is!”
“Durant tries three points, good shot!”
“Zhang Guan made a long 3-pointer and scored!”
The cheers on the scene were higher and higher, and the scores of the two sides also rose alternately. The scene was very lively. It’s just that the difference of about 10 points has never been pulled apart.
As for the players of the two teams, they didn’t have the right to play anyway, so they just started to follow their respective bosses and started running back.
Although it was a return run, the players did not dare to complain a little bit, who makes the team the boss!
Needless to say, Zhang Guan is there for fame and strength, and he is also the team’s little boss. And Durant, where the same fame and strength are placed, is also the Thunder’s head star, where the younger brothers dare to make the boss unhappy. Since the boss wants to shoot, then give the boss the ball and let him vote!
If you analyze it calmly, it is definitely Thunder who suffers from this situation. In terms of the Lakers, Tuckerley, Marshall, Sean Williams, Wesley Johnson, and the men with the same basic salary, like Jordan Hill and Blake, are close to the middle class. The annual salary is considered high.
As for the Thunder, Ibaka and Perkins are the ones who follow the return. Ibaka takes more than 12 million US dollars a year, which is equivalent to a star contract. Perkins also has a salary of more than 8 million a year. , Half higher than the middle class. Even Sovrosa can earn 4 million a year, and the Shanghai Lakers with four top salaries.
In the NBA, how much money you take basically represents how much ability you have. Nowadays, it is also meaningless to follow the boss back. The Lakers are a group of men with the lowest salary, and the Thunder are quasi-stars.
However, Durant’s scoring ability is really strong after his smooth sailing. When he was off at the end of the third quarter, he scored more than 30 points.
“Today, Durant, must have scored another 40 points!”
“I think 45 points is also possible!”
“But you see, the Thunder are still 11 points behind!”
Everyone looked to the scoreboard. At this time, the score of both sides was 85 to 74, and the Thunder were still behind.
“Could this be the game, the Lakers have to win again?”
