Chapter 146 Scoring Champions Confrontation (15)

The Thunder attacked. After halftime, Durant did not ask for the ball, but signaled Westbrook to pass it to Lin Chuan.

"Oh? Why don't you catch the ball? Are you admitting defeat and saying you can't beat Anthony in singles?"

Seeing Durant waved his hand to refuse the request, Spike Lee couldn't stop talking again.

"Anthony! He gave up! You are now the scoring champion!"

Durant ignored Spike Lee's yelling and focused on running and waiting for Lin Chuan to pass the ball.

Looking at Chandler who was serious but also nervous, Lin Chuan retracted his gaze and held the basketball high to observe his teammates' movements.

"Don't be so nervous. I told you that we are not the protagonists today."

Before Tyson Chandler understood what Lin Chuan meant, he saw him move his wrist and the ball in his hand flew out.

The basketball fell accurately into the hands of Durant, who was two steps inside the three-point line on the wing. He stood up and ignored Carmelo Anthony who was one step slower than him, and jumped to shoot.

The smooth process was as if he was positioning himself and then adjusting himself before making the move.

To Durant, Anthony's slower defense is no defense.

"Shh!"

The basketball goes into the net!

Two points scored!

"Hey! Why don't you fight Anthony one-on-one? This is too despicable!"

Listening to Spike Lee's complaints, Durant deliberately ran past him when returning to defense.

"It's incomprehensible. This is a basketball game, five people playing against five people, not one vs one."

"Did you hear that? It's not 1v1, old man!"

After Durant ran over, Lin Chuan also ran back to the half court to defend, and gave Spike Lee a hard hit when he passed by him.

“Old…old man?!”

Spike Lee is so angry that he can't even speak clearly.
“I’m only 56 years old!”

Lin Chuan slowed down his pace and stared at him.
"You are three years older than me, but you are still an old man!"

"Fake!"

Spike Lee couldn't help but swear.

"Anthony! Stoudemire! Beat them up!"

He stood up and shouted on the sidelines.

The Knicks attacked and Anthony received the ball again.

He rejected Chandler's screen and decided to challenge Durant one-on-one.

Prove your strength.

You know, this season he is not only second in the scoring list, 0.1 points behind Durant, but also second in the MVP list, just below Durant!

In this strong confrontation, if he can beat Durant, wouldn't it prove his strength even more!

Maybe, this season, he will not only be the scoring champion, but also win the MVP!

Triple threat again.

Durant had no choice but to step forward to defend.

Unlike most players who just make a move.

Anthony is one of the rare triple threat players who is truly a triple threat.

After learning from the previous goal, Durant did not choose to lower his center of gravity too much this time. He stood up a little and was more wary of Anthony's attack.

However, Durant has a plan, and Anthony naturally has a way to get over the wall.

For an offensive kaleidoscope like him, defending just one offensive option does not cause any interference to him.

Anthony made three threats, then pulled the ball back, and at the same time immediately took a small step forward with his right foot to test.

This step was taken suddenly, and Durant's high concentration made him immediately move a step to the left.

at this time!

Anthony immediately stepped his right foot forward to the left.

This step was very big, and it directly separated him from Durant by almost two meters.

With his left heel just outside the three-point line, Anthony took a three-pointer!
"Shh!"

Another empty net!

"Oh!"

Anthony cheered and pointed three fingers of his right hand at his head.

Three finger headshot!!! Bang bang bang!!!
Backing away, Anthony dared Durant.

"Let's see who can score more points in this game, Kevin!"

Durant smiled contemptuously.
"What, no teammates, buddy?"

As he was speaking, the Thunder quickly served the basketball, and Lin Chuan stuffed it directly into Durant's hands across half the court.

One step outside the three-point line.

You shouldn't have made a move at such a long distance.

But the moment he received the basketball, the smooth feeling made Durant involuntarily jump up and shoot.

Anthony didn't expect Durant to shoot directly from such a long distance, and he didn't step forward to interfere.

"Shua!!!"

Basketball net score!

"Such a long distance! Is it okay?"

Durant, who made a long three-pointer, also started talking trash to Anthony.

As the league's three-time scoring champion.

Looking at Anthony, who is called an offensive kaleidoscope by the media and claims to be the scoring champion this season, I feel a lot of contempt.

He is not as good as me in scoring, nor as good as me in international competitions, his shooting is not as accurate as mine, and his shooting range is not as far as mine.

I don't know where he got the confidence to challenge him.

"Ah!"

Anthony laughed too.

A few rounds of provocation and response balls also made him really angry.

Do you really think you are not as good as him?
ridiculous!

As soon as the attack started, Anthony asked Kidd for the ball.

Kidd passed it to Anthony without any objection.

Facing Durant's one-on-one defense, Anthony held back his strength and scored again using a variation of the three-threat plus a tentative step!

"I'm picking on you, Kevin."

Lin Chuan slowly walked to Durant's side and reminded him,
"Isn't it you who will be the first to lose?"

"What a joke! Just him!"

Durant smiled disdainfully.

"Just watch how I control him!"

Lin Chuan smiled secretly.

Plan passes.

With Durant playing like this, I can take it easy and get assists.

…………

Then in the first quarter, the two players almost monopolized the shooting rights of their respective teams.

The teammates also tacitly agreed not to interfere.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 26:25.

The Thunder lead by one point.

This is also the point by which Durant leads Anthony.

One of them scored 21 points and the other scored 20 points.

In the same game and quarter, both teams scored 20 points each, which is the only grand occasion in the NBA so far!
"I've never seen anything like this in a game before. I've never seen this kind of performance in all the years I've been commentating on the NBA."

Su Qun couldn't help but express his feelings.

"Yes, it seems that this game has a lot to watch."

Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Although Lin Chuan barely took any shots so far in this game, and we didn't see him beat the best defensive player Tyson Chandler, he still had seven assists so far, and he's likely to get a triple-double again."

"And we have already witnessed the competition between the two super scorers of this season. I can only say that it is not a loss at all!"

"Looking at this situation, it's very likely that there will be two 50+ points in this game."

"Yeah, I can't wait to watch the last three quarters of the game!"
