Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

"This time, I won't lose again!"

Before the game was about to start, Durant took the initiative to come up to Durant and spoke seriously.

Du En didn't take it seriously and just smiled indifferently.

"How many times has this been the case before a match? Has it ever come true?"

It is true that the current Durant is much stronger than the Durant of the same period in Durant's previous life.

At least he didn't rupture his Achilles tendon due to lack of rest time due to frequent playoffs and finals during his peak period.

Durant has played relatively less in the playoffs and finals today, so his physical fitness and injury management are still pretty good, and his peak form has continued.

As of now, even if they are not in the top three in the league, they are at least in the top five.

To be honest, what affects Durant's ranking in the league is mainly his lack of physical fitness.

Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, I can't play single-core, so I can't move up the list.

But in terms of personal ability, he is basically second best, enough to be on par with Curry.

In general, Durant is indeed stronger than Durant at this stage, and much stronger.

But basketball is not a one-on-one game. If Durant wants to lead the Clippers to defeat the Bulls where Durant is, it is not enough to just defeat Durant. He has to get past Curry.

In terms of overall strength, Curry is above Durant.

What's more, Durant has very obvious shortcomings in the game.

Because he is too focused on one-on-one skills, he is not good at breaking double-teams. It can even be said that among all superstars, his ability to break double-teams is the worst, no doubt about it.

Therefore, if Durant's team wants to achieve results, it must have a super guard.

The super guard will help Durant attract defense, and it would be best to create a one-on-one situation for Durant.

In addition, due to Durant's own physical limitations, the guard's scoring output and offensive ability are also required.

Durant has not achieved any results in the past few years because Paul is a traditional point guard. Although he has good scoring ability, his offensive ability is still a bit lacking.

Durant needs Paul to share the pressure of ball-holding offense, but Paul can only do his job and cannot be a top scorer.

Looking at the current configuration of the Clippers, Irving's scoring output and offensive ability are undoubtedly very suitable for Durant.

It’s just that Irving tends to be arrogant when playing. Not only does he treat his opponents as nothing, he also doesn’t take his teammates seriously.

Once Durant wants the ball but can only watch Irving attacking, Durant's mentality will be unbalanced and his competitive state will decline rapidly.

In short, the conditions for Durant to win the championship are quite stringent. Durant wants a super guard who can not only score with the ball and increase production, but also attract defense to make him play happily, and who is relatively selfless.

Such super defenders are very rare in the league.

Who wants to be second when you are capable of being the boss?

Therefore, it is more appropriate for Durant to join a team that can achieve success, rather than being the boss himself and building a team that can make him successful.

Interestingly, another Nike superstar in the league also has such a request.

As old rivals, Duane knows them relatively well and knows how to prescribe the right medicine to win the game.

The game started quickly, and Davis used his better athletic ability to help the Clippers jump to gain the ball.

On the Clippers' first attack, Durant was eager to find Durant.

Seeing this, Duen was not afraid and immediately stuck close to him, giving him enough physical resistance.

This move is also to test the penalty standards for the finals.

As expected, the referee did not blow the whistle. Then, Durant continued to increase the intensity of Durant and limit his shooting after dribbling.

At the same time, Curry let go of Landry Shamet and double-teamed Durant who was still dribbling.

In order to protect Curry and prevent Irving from single-handedly attacking Curry, the Bulls adopted the strategy of Curry defending Shamet who had no ball, and Murray defending Irving.

After all, Irving is proficient in various one-on-one skills and has no problem breaking through and shooting.

In terms of shooting alone, Curry has average jumping ability and a short wingspan, making it difficult for him to interfere with outside players and is easily penetrated by Irving's one-on-one shots.

Therefore, the Bulls used Murray, a defensive gate with long arms, to consume and limit Irving.

On the defensive end, Curry mainly cooperated with Durant to double-team Durant.

After all, Shamet plays with Durant and Irving. Even if he gets an open opportunity, it is difficult for him to get the pass from Durant and Irving, two core players of the team who like to play one-on-one and have a slightly narrow passing vision.

Therefore, leaving Shamet open is not a big problem, even though Shamet has good spot shooting ability.

Having said that, Durant was already feeling uncomfortable with Durant's defense, so he had to concentrate and focus on dealing with Durant.

At this time, Curry suddenly rushed over and caught Durant off guard.

Before Durant could get the ball and find a chance to pass it, Curry took the lead, put his hand on the ball, and then stole it away.

When Shamet saw Curry suddenly leave him, he felt a sense of crisis. When he saw Curry running to Durant, he quickly chased after him.

At this time, Curry completed a steal, and Shamet immediately blocked Curry and tried to stop Curry for a moment.

However, Curry made the judgment and responded in an instant. He used a fake breakthrough with his left hand, followed by a crotch dribble, and then used the double-back dribble that Curry is very good at to break through to the right as he wished, and quickly rushed to the frontcourt by accelerating.

However, Curry's acceleration speed was not very fast. Although Irving and Durant reacted quickly and did not catch up with Curry, they followed closely behind him.

Curry also knew that there was someone behind him, so in order to avoid being blocked, he took the initiative to run to the forty-five degree position on the right side of the three-point line and pretended to shoot a three-pointer.

The Clippers also guessed that Curry was cheating, but they had to double-team him.

Don’t ask anything else, this is Curry, he is the best player in the league today!
If someone wastes a three-pointer when they are 1-on-0, they may be replaced by the coach in the next round.

Curry was 1 vs 0 and chose to chase with a three-pointer. That's how the ball should be played. It makes sense!
To be honest, this ball is indeed quite reasonable.

In a flash, as soon as Curry got the ball in front of his head, Irving, Durant and Shamet surrounded him.

Curry didn't shoot after jumping, but instead sent the ball to the basket.

Not long after the basketball landed, a hand suddenly appeared, pressed on the basketball, and then picked up the ball.

Duane held the ball with both hands, took a step toward the basket, and jumped into the air.

boom--

A two-handed dunk and two points.

When Durant turned around to celebrate with Curry, he saw Curry shaking his shoulders at Durant and others while retreating to defend.

"Kevin, you lack a teammate like Stephen! Do you think I'm right?"

To kill someone, you must also destroy his heart. When Durant saw Curry retreating to the backcourt, he walked over to Durant and teased him.

He has strong scoring ability, can attack tough situations, and is very selfless. He gives scoring opportunities to his teammates, allowing them to score better and make them more eye-catching on the court.

Isn't this kind of guard exactly the ideal type that Durant has been dreaming of?

"I have Kyrie, he is no worse than anyone else, I believe he can help me!" Durant said stubbornly. (End of this chapter)
