Chapter 368 Scoring Machine Durant

The Western Conference finals are about to start.

The Spurs' opponent in the Western Conference Finals is the Thunder, which is the first and second regular season contest.

During the regular season, the Spurs played very hard every time they played against the Thunder, especially every time they played against Durant, this guy could score 30+ points.

This guy is simply a BUG!His official height data is 206 cm, but in fact this guy is definitely taller than 206 cm!It is reported that Durant's real height should be between 210-213 cm.

This is obviously the height of a center forward!
In addition, Durant's arms are also very long. If this guy can weigh more than 110 kilograms, he will have no problem playing inside.

Such a long-armed and long-legged monster has above-average outside speed, first-class jumping ability, and also has a precise shooting technique and good ball-handling ability. This is simply cheating!
In the position of small forward, Durant's physical advantage is too obvious. He is taller than almost everyone. When holding the ball high, no one can break his ball, so he is definitely a small forward. One of the hardest to guard!

Of course, Durant is not without nemesis, at least one person is a headache for Durant.

This person is James who killed Durant in the Finals last year and stepped on his corpse to ascend to the throne.

James is not as tall as Durant, but he is not as strong as others!Durant has the height, James has the weight, and James has more experience, so Durant was a tragedy in last year's finals. He was suppressed by James. His "second small forward" hat, I am afraid that it will be a while. Things can't be taken off.

In fact, if you only talk about offensive ability, Durant may be a little stronger than James, but if you count defense and everything together, James can still suppress Durant.

But for the Spurs, Durant is not so easy to deal with.

The Spurs' small forward is Leonard, who is 201 cm tall. He is a super defensive player with long arms and legs. Especially after Qin Yan's arrival, Leonard's defensive end has improved even more, and he has practiced in advance. Said that he has also improved and innovated his unique skills, especially his unique skills are more prepared for James.

In this case, Qin Yan believes that even if he meets James in the finals, the current Leonard can also carry it.

But the problem is that Leonard is now able to defend James and even most small forwards in the league, but this does not mean that he can defend Durant.

After all, Durant and James are two types of players. Leonard's physical advantage is equivalent to no in front of Durant, but he is a head faster than the dwarves...

What?Let Qin Yan defend Durant?Stop making trouble, Qin Yan's offense is okay, although he can't win, he can still wrestle with Durant.

But Qin Yan's defense, that can only be said to be above the average level, is no problem against ordinary people, but it will definitely not be able to stop Durant!

Moreover, after warming up in the first two rounds of the playoffs, Durant is now in full condition and full firepower. He did not watch the last two games against the Warriors. He scored a high score of 40+ and directly blasted the Warriors!

So it is not an exaggeration to say that Durant is a scoring machine. If this guy wants to score, there are really not many people who can stop him. If it is not because Durant has been injured for a while this season, Whether Anthony can get his first scoring trophy is a question.

And the Thunder not only have Durant, they also have a muscle boy Westbrook, this guy who can't wait to smash everything with a dunk, although he is not the later "triple double machine", but now Parker has to deal with it. Westbrook is still in some trouble.

San Antonio, Spurs practice facility.

Popovich specially called Qin Yan and Leonard over today.

"Qin, Kawhi, do you know what it is that called you here today?" Popovich asked Qin Yan and Leonard to sit down.

"Coach, it's Durant's business." The two looked at each other, and then Qin Yan spoke.

"Well. The game is tomorrow. What do you think, defending that guy, are you confident?" Popovich asked directly.

Qin Yan smiled wryly, "Coach, don't ask me. I know my defensive level. I can't deal with him. You can ask Xiaoka."

Popovich threw a paper cup at Qin Yan, "You boy! You'll be lazy! Kawhi, tell me."

Leonard's expression was serious. Obviously, this guy had also watched Durant's recent playoff games. Although he was very confident in himself, after seriously analyzing Durant's strength, Leonard couldn't help it. Don't admit it, the current self should not be able to stop Durant who has become a scoring machine.

"Coach, now I can't stop Durant alone." Leonard said this calmly.

"Well, I already know." Popovich poured himself a cup of coffee lightly, "Since watching Durant's video, I know that no one on the team can defend him alone."

Qin Yan and Leonard looked at each other in blank dismay, complaining silently in their hearts, coach, what did you ask us to do if you already knew...

"So, tomorrow, that scoring machine, you two are going to zone defense." Popovich said this again lightly.

"?? What the hell??"

Qin Yan and Leonard were taken aback, two-man defense?But the defense line of ice and fire between myself and Leonard is not invincible!

In the first round of this year's playoffs, the Ice and Fire line of defense was breached by Kobe, and then the two of them simply didn't use this trick in the second round. (Although it seems that no one in the Clippers needs them to use this trick)
The main reason is that since this trick has been broken, the two of them don't want to use it anymore before they have figured out how to upgrade this trick.

"I know the two of you don't have to use this trick after Kobe broke the defense of the two of you, but in the face of Durant, you must reunite." Popovich said to them seriously. "After all, the two of you used zone defense to prevent Durant from passing halftime."

Qin Yan and Leonard felt a little embarrassed. It was also the first time they defended against Durant. Durant has no experience. Coach, do you think we can still hold Durant in the halfcourt?

"Don't be unconfident. If one person can't do it, two people will definitely have hope. You should study it here today. If you think it's ok, go back and rest. In short, tomorrow's game, the scoring machine, I leave it to you It's gone," Popovich said, walking outside.

"Coach, where are you going?" Qin Yan asked quickly, this is the rhythm of making himself and Leonard work overtime, can I ask if there is any overtime pay?
"I'm going home, I'm too old to pay attention to rest, you go on..." Popovich's voice gradually faded away, and he really left them...

Qin Yan could only smile wryly at Leonard, he had no choice but to work overtime, this damn scoring machine...
