Chapter 471 Battle

Kevin Durant, the league's super shooter, super wing, and super scorer, before "Ku Hao" appeared, he was the strongest shooter in the league.In the sixth year of his career, he has already won three scoring titles, and many people even think that he may reach the level of Qiao Shen's ten scoring titles.Putting these possibilities aside, people with a discerning eye have noticed that he is about to really step into the pinnacle of his career.

Six years of baptism in the NBA has long allowed Durant's personal scoring ability to reach the top of the league. The selection of the "6 club" this season is also a proof of his super efficiency.What is called the "180 club" means that the sum of the shooting percentage + three-point shooting percentage + free throw shooting percentage reaches 180%.Those who can join this club are all super efficient scorers in the league, but Durant is different from them, that is, his scoring average is as high as 180+.This is an extremely rare situation in the past ten years.

Who was the last person to do it?He is the famous "Big Bird" Larry Bird. That is to say, for 25 years since Bird, No. 35 of the Thunder is the only player who has entered the "180 Club" and averaged 28 points per game.So this season's Kevin Durant is obviously showing signs of reaching the peak.

The Lakers made a three-pointer, and when the iron hit the basket, the rebound was picked off by Tang Qian, and then passed the ball to Gasol, Gasol hooked the net, still 7 points away.But turning his head, Durant scored another 2-pointer without any preparations, just relying on his height and wingspan to forcefully pull.

The point difference became 9 points again.

The Lakers couldn't make a shot, and the rebound was protected by the Thunder. After all, it was not an ability card. It was impossible to grab every low rebound, and rebounds were always beneficial to the defense.Kevin Durant made another high mid-range shot. Seeing this, Kobe quickly let go of his defender and rushed over, but at this time Durant hit the ground, and the basketball was quickly passed to the defender Kobe missed. Sapo Sefoloza.Sefolosha made a fixed-point three-pointer, swiped~, after the basketball drew a parabola in the sky, it fell into the Lakers' net in an unbiased manner.

12 points difference.

These two seasons are the pinnacle of Sefolosha's three-pointers, with a hit rate of more than 4%, which is enough to be called a reassuring long-range fort.He also shared the defensive pressure of the Shuangjun and attracted part of the opponent's defensive attention.

Don't underestimate this, a stable 4-point fort with more than 3% in one hand is what the Lakers lack now.

And he also has excellent defensive ability, 3D players, and counting the Lakers, he couldn't find any of them.

This is the future trend of the league's wings. Apart from stars, this kind of wing players are the most popular.

It's useless to think so much, because what is in front of the Lakers now is how to contain Kevin Durant.

Metta Shiping is one year older than last season, so it becomes more difficult to defend Kevin Durant, but apart from him, the rest of the Lakers are short of height, and there is no hope of defending their opponents .Unless it is now the playoffs, Ci Shiping can also use the penalty scale to increase the intensity of physical confrontation, making Durant feel uncomfortable, but in the regular season with the defensive method of the playoffs, there is only one ending, that is, being defeated. Call the foul and send the opponent to the free throw line.

what to do?Who can come out and break this game?

Originally, Tang Qian wanted Ci Shiping to suppress the opponent's shooting space regardless of the breakthrough, but unfortunately this works well for others, but when it is put on "Du Qichi", it becomes a bit "powerless".Because with Durant's height and wingspan and its elasticity, he is enough to continue shooting, and he won't lose the possibility of shooting because of your closeness.

This is also the reason why the Lakers players are a little helpless.

Kobe of the Lakers managed to score a turnaround jumper, and here Durant raised his hand and hit it again, with such calmness and simplicity, as if this was not a game, but a training session.Kobe's efforts were instantly redeemed.

There are still 12 points, but the game time is running out.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Lakers can't think of a way to control Kevin Durant.So it means that no matter how you score, your opponent can redeem it, and your efforts will be wiped out in an instant.

After seeing this situation, Mike D'Antoni's expression was gloomy, while "Warcraft" Howard's expression was joy.

Quite the opposite, very different.

And this scene was also captured by careful reporters on the sidelines. After the game, a photo named "Warcraft Laughing" was quoted by major media, and then interpreted and annotated.

However, 90% of the people did not guess Howard's mood at this time:
Come on, good job Kevin!Let's shoot the Lakers' basket hard in this quarter! ! !
In order to avoid losing his bet, Howard completely put the interests of the team behind him.

It can't be like this anymore!There must be a way to make a change!

After seeing the Lakers miss another shot, Tang Qian thought silently.

After thousands of thoughts, he became ruthless, turned his head and said something to Gasol, and then strode away from the inside area by himself.

Yes, you read that right, it just left the inside area.

This scene surprised all the players.

What does he want to do?Why did he run out?
This is a question that puzzles everyone, but fortunately, the answer will be revealed soon.

"Oh~my~ what did we see??? China Tang actually ran near the top arc. He wants to defend Kevin alone???" Thunder's on-site commentator Brian Davis said: "I think he is crazy Right?" Grant Lang beside him also said: "This Chinese kid is full of self-confidence! That's why he did this! But believe me, Kevin will teach him how to behave! Three-time scoring champion in the league, Ben Season 180 Mr. Club, how could it be possible to be guarded by a No. 5 on the outside? China Iron has been so smooth recently. Do you think you have become an All-Star player when you get the best of the week? Kevin will let him know soon. Called a real superstar!"

Brian Davis actually discovered his partner's slip of the tongue, because the All-Star player, the Chinese is already an All-Star player this season, and he is also an All-Star starter.But compared with Kevin Durant, who is about to step into the road of superstardom, he is not worth mentioning in an instant.Besides, blue-collar players are born to be dwarfs in the league, even if you are an All-Star blue-collar player.Throughout the history of the NBA, except for Bill Russell, the rest of the blue-collar stars all disappeared in a flash and were not favored and affirmed by the public.

Even if it is Bill Russell, it is because his dry goods are too hard, so it is difficult for sunspots to get them. Otherwise, he only has one or two championships. See if he will be belittled, see if he will be underrated Are the fans black as dogs?It's a pity that there are many rings on his fingers, this is the strongest support, the strongest support.

Because it means that he always wins.

Under normal conditions, it is impossible for Tang Qian to defend the quasi-superstars in positions 1, 2, and 3 on the outside, because letting a big man over 7 feet go to the outside to defend is to take the short and give up the long.But the current Tang Qian is not an ordinary Tang Qian. Under the effect of "Half God", he possesses the peak defensive ability of the "Basketball Emperor", and the object of his defense is not an ordinary outside line. Ruler" Kevin Durant.

So, this gave him the opportunity to challenge the impossible.

Because Durant's height is too high, it is the biggest barrier of poor breakthrough ability.

Although he is the league's scoring champion for three times, Durant's breakthrough has never been included in the top, and even the first-class is enough.Even if he specially practiced a "super-large frontal change" this season, it only hardened the original second- and third-rate breakthrough ability to a quasi-first-rate level.Moreover, this is the strongest limit that Durant's height and body can reach. It is very difficult to improve. Anyway, in Tang Qian's impression, he has not broken this limit.

In the end, Durant's change of direction and lateral movement were quite "slow" because of his height.

The "slowness" here is relative. For his own height of "Du Qichi", it is already very scary and very powerful, but compared with the outside players who are 1.9 meters to two meters, that is a "scumbag" s level".It's not that Durant's speed is not fast and his physical fitness is not good, it's just that you are too tall, and the lateral movement and direction change will be suppressed by the laws of physics. Human beings who can break this limit have not yet been born.

Taking these factors into consideration, Tang Qian decided to take a risk and took the initiative to go up to one-on-one to mark the opponent.

After all, although Durant's height and wingspan are long, compared with himself, it will be nothing.

But the premise is that he must be able to keep up with the Thunder No. 35.

After Durant saw this scene, his expression froze for half a second, because since he played basketball until now, the chances of being marked by a big center over 7 feet from the outside are few and far between.So when he saw Tang Qian's figure, he couldn't help but feel slightly stagnant.But soon, he recovered, and his eyes kept looking at No. 29 of the Lakers, as if with a strong playful nature.

You are so tall and dare to run out to defend me alone?Do you really think of yourself as the Hulk?Do you really take me as an insider?

also good!Tonight, you are the defensive barrier of the Lakers. As long as you can defeat you, the Lakers will naturally be defeated!Let me, Kevin Durant, teach you what it means to score without a solution!

Durant was full of confidence, and Tang Qian was also concentrated, bending over and kneeling, waiting for the opponent's attack.

damn it!Why does China Hot play things that are out of the tactical system? ? ?Running out to defend against Kevin Durant alone, what was going on in his mind? ? ?After Mike D'Antoni saw this, he was extremely annoyed, because this was obviously an "unequal dislocation defense".Of course, the inside line is the center's world, but if you go to the outside line, please, does O'Neal have any deterrent power on the outside line?Does Yao Ming have any deterrent effect on the perimeter?In fact, big centers with a height of more than 7 feet are almost insulators on the outside. You said Olajuwon?Sorry, Olajuwon is not even 7 feet with shoes on. His bare feet are actually 6 feet 10 inches, but 208cm, so he can't be counted among the real 7-footers.

This is why Mike D'Antoni felt that Tang Qian was messing around.

You are a big man whose bare feet are more than 7 feet. If you don’t stay on the inside, why go outside?
When the defense of this ball fails, I must replace him to calm down!You can't let him mess around every time!
Durant saw that the big center was marking from the outside, so he didn't make any technical moves. He bent down and stepped, and wanted to break through Tang Qian's defense in one step.Unfortunately...he didn't succeed.

On the contrary, because his breakthrough was too casual, he was touched by Tang Qian's body. He almost lost his balance and moved out to the left.Just kidding, Tang Qian is now a serious 258 pounds, what about Kevin Durant?At most, it will be 230+ pounds. As for the 240 pounds at the peak in the future, he has not yet grown to it, so Durant did not control his body and basketball in a confrontation, and was intercepted by No. 29 of the Lakers with one hand. .

I don't know how many players and spectators were stunned by this scene.

It wasn't that they were ignorant, it was mainly because the ending of the attack and defense was too unexpected, which caused the audience to be in an uproar.

"I, am I not mistaken? Kevin was actually intercepted by that Eastern center? What's going on?" Brian Davis, the Thunder team's on-site commentator, opened his mouth slightly. "I don't know either, okay, now the big screen shows slow motion, everyone can take a closer look at what's going on." Grant Lang stared at the big screen above his head and opened his mouth.

In slow motion, the momentary details of the two's offense and defense began to become clear. It turned out that when Kevin Durant broke through, he happened to have a reasonable physical contact with Tang Qian who was moving across.This is a blocking foul that can be judged or not. After seeing this rare defensive scene, the referee resolutely decided not to give Kevin Durant the "star whistle".

So in other words, it was Kevin Durant who suffered a lot from Tang Qian in terms of physical confrontation.

The No. 3 and No. 5 positions, of course, cannot be compared in physical confrontation, but the question is, how did the No. 29 of the Lakers keep up with Kevin Durant's breakthrough pace?Shouldn't this be impossible, right?
All the mysteries lie in Tang Qian's "Demigod Avatar". His defensive awareness and defensive state have been greatly improved, which is why he was able to successfully block Kevin Durant's breakthrough.
