Seven Hundred and Twenty. He Really Beat Me to Death!
Beat him? Get him? Beat him to death?
Little boss! We are playing basketball, not fighting!
Paul George was speechless after listening to Sun Ce's words.
But this gave Paul George a defensive direction.
In Paul George's view, Durant is a technical player, so he defends Durant in the way he defends technical players.
But no one can defend Durant with that kind of defense!
After receiving Sun Ce's instructions, when Harden pushed forward and passed it to Durant, Paul George tried hard to stick to him for physical confrontation.
Stars have their own quirks. Paul George is a superstar player in the future. He also has quirks. He doesn't like confrontation on the offensive end, but he can confront on the defensive end.
Although Paul George's confrontation with Tony Allen is far worse, he still caused some trouble for Durant. Durant received the ball and leaned against Paul George sideways, and decided to try again.
Durant did what he said. He turned around suddenly. Paul George couldn't crush Durant like Tony Allen did. He was pushed back a step. Durant made a strong attack. Paul George immediately kept his defensive action and followed him with small steps. At this time, Durant grabbed the ball and hit Paul George's arm in the air...
"Beep"
The referee whistled, Paul George fouled, and Durant got two free throws!
Hearing the referee's whistle, Sun Ce, who was following Westbrook, turned his head and thought that Paul George was fouled because of his fierce defense.
Unexpectedly, Durant actually played dirty!
Paul George communicated with the referee next to him anxiously, but the referee ignored him because he was facing a rookie, not a popular rookie.
"This despicable villain only knows how to bully rookies. If he has the ability to bully Tony teacher!" Sun Ce complained in his heart and walked over to pat Paul George on the back.
Although he committed a foul, Sun Ce was very satisfied with Paul George's courage to confront him. At least he could continue to consume Durant.
Durant played Paul George too easily. If this continues, Durant's consumed energy will be wasted. The key is that Battier can't defend Durant this year and can't keep up with his pace, so Sun Ce helps Paul George think of a way.
However, Sun Ce walked to the right side of the three-second zone and stood outside. When Durant made the first free throw amid the "MVP" shouts of the fans on the scene, the system prompt suddenly came!
"The King of Fouls in the New Era (B):
...
Goal 2: In the next game against the Thunder, the host's free throws and hits must be higher than Kevin Durant. (Host free throws 2, hits 2; Kevin Durant free throws 2, hits 1...)
..."
Just when Durant made the second free throw, the "1" in Durant's hits also became "2"!
Sun Ce then remembered that he had another incident related to Durant, and he had more free throws than Durant!
Although it was a good team strategy to instruct Paul George to continue Tony Allen's defensive style to consume Durant, from the perspective of the incident, Sun Ce dug a hole for himself!
Sun Ce quickly thought of a solution!
When Paul George was about to run to the front court, Sun Ce did not immediately receive the serve, but said to Paul George: "When he fouls you, hit his hand! Hit hard! Break his hand!"
Paul George had just been fouled, and as a rookie, he was hesitant about whether to continue to press the defense, worried about making mistakes. He was shocked when he heard what Sun Ce said!
"Brother! Do you have to be so cruel?"
Seeing Sun Ce run back to the free throw line to receive the serve and advance, Paul George also hurried forward to finish the offense first.
, the Grizzlies were leading by 3 points, so Sun Ce was not in a hurry to fall into a positional battle. Seeing Durant taking a big step to defend inside the three-point line, Sun Ce pushed forward to the three-point line, broke through to the right, and continued to play pick-and-roll with Jordan.
This time, Muhammad, who was out, was obviously faster than the last time. He wanted to directly contact Sun Ce and block Sun Ce's pick-and-roll breakthrough pass.
As soon as Jordan came to the right free throw line of the three-second zone with the help of Jordan's pick-and-roll on the right side of the arc outside the free throw line, Muhammad came up, which was exactly what Sun Ce wanted! Sun Ce plunged into Muhammad's arms, grabbed the ball and hit Muhammad's arm!
The referee's whistle was a beat late, but it still blew.
The referee Haywood-Workman, who was wearing the No. 66 referee uniform, had a trace of anxiety on his face. When he saw Durant committing a foul, he felt bad. Look, the bad premonition came true!
But after hesitating for a second, he still blew the whistle, and the fans at the scene were immediately dissatisfied. Durant used a similar method to commit a foul, and the fans at the scene turned a blind eye. However, when Sun Ce committed a foul like this, the whole audience booed and the fans on the sidelines were still shouting "black whistle".
Unlike Paul George who didn't know what to do after being fouled by Durant, veteran Muhammad jumped up exaggeratedly and shouted to the referee: "I fouled in advance! I pushed him first and then his hand hit my arm!"
Sun Ce heard Muhammad's words and felt that veterans are veterans.
Although the opponent was very mean in this ball, Muhammad knew that ordinary fouls could not be changed. This is the rule. In addition, Durant also did it. Muhammad could not say that Sun Ce committed a foul, but wanted to change the content of the referee's foul.
But the referee Walkerman ignored it. He was still in sorrow.
"Why did I draw two games in a row against this kid? Why... why..."
Yes, referee Walkerman was the referee who gave Sun Ce 15 free throws in the previous game, so Sun Ce used the rules to cause Muhammad to foul and he was stunned for a second.
Sun Ce went to the free throw line. Today, he had a really good touch. Amid the boos of the fans, he made two hook free throws!
Sun Ce and Durant's free throws were 4 to 2!
, the score difference was once again widened to 5 points!
When Sun Ce was shooting free throws this time, the Thunder coach made some personnel rotations, replacing Westbrook and Nick Collison. The former was resting, and the latter had to play center because he was too slow, which forced Muhammad, who was too old to play power forward, to play power forward. He did not defend well, so Ibaka was replaced again, and the point guard position was replaced by Eric Maynor, who was good at three-point shooting.
The Thunder's past two attacks were dead, and Thunder coach Brooks wanted to make some changes to let the whole team run and play.
However, sometimes it is not what the coach wants, and the players play.
Durant scored two goals in a row, and he already had 10 points. He was a little excited and wanted to continue. Durant felt that Sun Ce was responding to his singles just now. Of course, he had to continue!
Sun Ce knew himself and knew his ability, but it was different for others. In Durant's view, Sun Ce had a bright future. Although Durant was reluctant to admit it, as a player of the same generation, Durant was extremely afraid of Sun Ce, who was of the same age as him. It was not just that Black Widow was a fan of Sun Ce, but mainly the ability shown by Sun Ce and the habitual outburst that made people terrified.
Durant even threw aside the issue of allocating physical energy, just to compete with Sun Ce, and continued to ask for the ball one step inside the three-point line in the frontcourt.
Paul George, a talented rookie, is easy to use. Although he was madly complaining about Sun Ce's instructions in his heart, he heard what Sun Ce wanted to express, that defense should be fierce, and if fouled, foul hard!
When Harden pushed forward and prepared to pass the ball to Durant, Paul George came out and prepared to go around and block Durant!
Paul George's action of squeezing in was quite rough, and Durant was not a pushover either. He turned around and prepared to cut in. The simplest and most effective way to crack the outside line is to cut in.
However, the timing of the two people's actions... was too synchronized! Paul George was anxious to defend, and Durant was also anxious to turn around. Paul George had not completely squeezed in front of Durant, and one of his legs had not yet circled in front of Durant, but Durant had already made a move to cut in, and suddenly tripped Paul George who was squeezing forward! Durant did not stand firmly, and rushed forward and fell!
Paul George squeezed up and wanted to go around, and Durant squeezed back and wanted to cut in. It looked like looking in the mirror, and the people around him did not react, because Durant was going to play alone again. The cheering fans almost spit out blood and shouted "foul".
But the referee didn't blow the whistle. If he had to blow the whistle, the referee who was responsible for paying attention to the two people in the confrontation determined that Durant had committed a foul, and hesitated for a moment before blowing the whistle.
Without the whistle, the two hurriedly got up, not caring about face or anything, or perhaps for face, Durant hurriedly got up and cut into the inside, and Paul George chased after Durant.
Harden was originally planning to pass the ball, but who knew that these two people would actually have such a scene. He couldn't help but grinned and almost laughed out loud. At this time, the best time to pass the ball had passed, and Harden began to organize the offense himself.
What is talent? It's Harden.
Harden easily took advantage of Morrow's poor single defense ability to attract Sun Ce to double-team, and sent the ball to Mayno before Morrow switched defense to Mayno.
Mayno missed the three-pointer, and there was no problem with Harden organizing the offense.
Westbrook on the sidelines saw Sun Ce who quickly closed in and grabbed the defensive rebound after filling in the mid-range. He was a little anxious, and he also wanted to go up!
However, the Thunder, from the management to the head coach, have a special preference for Westbrook. Durant can be used to death, but Westbrook can't. Westbrook needs to rest.
After grabbing the rebound, Sun Ce quickly advanced without the idea of saving energy, because he still has physical potions to use tonight!
He has the energy to play longer, and the team's strength must be stronger than when he is not there. This is the first, and it is also the most important point for physical potions to help him help the team win. The second is... Playing with all your strength and playing longer will help him get the next triple-double before Westbrook! Only in this way can you guarantee that you will always have at least 3 more triple-doubles than Westbrook!
The two teams played very targeted in the next time. Tony Allen was not there, and Durant wanted to do it himself. It must be the point with the highest success rate for the Thunder, even higher than the Thunder's team offensive efficiency. Durant's 46% season hit rate is higher than the Thunder's 45.4% season hit rate.
The Thunder team felt like Westbrook had swung the ball and Durant continued to swing it. The star play was used to the extreme.
On the Grizzlies side, Durant defended Sun Ce, and Sun Ce broke through with a pick-and-roll. Harden or Maynor defended Sun Ce, and Sun Ce broke through directly. No matter how Sun Ce played, others were looking for three-pointers or cutting opportunities.
Durant, who was beginning to enter his peak period, was really strong. Paul George risked his life to fight hard, but Durant still found a chance to score.
Sun Ce tried very hard, but still had no chance to widen the gap. The game was almost over when the Thunder attacked for the last time. The Grizzlies still only led the Thunder by 4 points.
Harden pushed forward to the frontcourt. As usual, once Westbrook or Durant got into a fight with the opponent during his playing time, he had nothing to do. He played half a quarter and only broke through twice. The rest of the time he pushed the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to the boss.
But Harden was quite happy about this situation. He didn't think there was anything wrong. He liked to hang out with his big brother and second brother.
Durant retreated to the three-point line to receive the ball this time. He was exhausted in this quarter. He had already scored 16 points in a single quarter!
After the official timeout, the scores of both teams increased very quickly. The Grizzlies, relying on Ibaka's foul on Randolph before, dared not be so active in assisting defense. The team offense was good. The two emperors ran well and had a keen sense of smell for catching the ball. Yidi also had a certain mid-range and long-range shot. After Morrow scored two three-pointers in a row, Harden followed Morrow closely, and the space was very good. Sun Ce had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. In the first quarter, Sun Ce did not spare any physical strength! Fight as hard as you can! The enthusiasm of running at full speed when assisting defense, being very active when grabbing rebounds, and passing when attacking, attacking when attacking, and getting close to other men's arms when attacking, made the Grizzlies' bench caddies get clean jerseys in their hands, waiting for Sun Ce to call at any time.
On the Thunder side, they scored 12 points after the official timeout, 10 of which were scored by Durant!
In this quarter, Durant had to find scoring opportunities in the first half of the game under the endless confrontation of Tony Allen, help his teammates to contain the defense, and then fight with Paul George in a series of singles...
Durant remembered Paul George, the rookie. Paul George fouled twice in half a quarter. The first time was Durant's foul, and the second time was Paul George's foul. He saw that the number of fouls had not yet reached the foul free throw number, and he didn't keep up with Durant and pulled Durant to stagger and get a foul. The defense was as fierce as it could be. Although he really didn't defend Durant, who was still in good physical condition in the first quarter, the momentum was enough!
Durant just started to sweat under Tony Allen's defense. After the first quarter, Durant really felt a little tired. He didn't want to go to the mid-range position to get the ball, but directly asked for the ball outside the three-point line!
Still being stuck by Paul George, Durant turned his body sideways. He felt that he hadn't used that trick for so long, and it might work now.
When there were 5 seconds left in the first quarter, Durant started dribbling, took a step back, and made a strong move in the middle. Paul George rushed forward and immediately reacted. He was hit again!
Sure enough, Durant saw Paul George approaching, grabbed the ball and hit Paul George's arm...
Paul George did not have as good defensive experience and judgment as Tony Allen. When Durant's arm swung up, Paul George reacted to dodge, but it was too late!
In a flash, Paul George remembered a voice full of temptation: Beat him to death!
Thinking of this, Paul George's body reacted subconsciously, and he swung his arm on Durant's wrist! He knocked the ball in Durant's hand away!
Good guy, Durant was almost knocked down! Durant's eyes were wide open in pain!
The referee whistled, Paul George fouled, and Durant got three free throws.
Sun Ce gasped. Durant's hand was red even though he had such a dark complexion!
He just said that, but Paul George actually did it. His defense became more and more fierce and more like Tony Allen. He also had a feeling of being better than his teacher. This arm was too fierce!
