Chapter 452: The promised duel with overflowing talent pool!
"Ding, gain 1,000 favorability points from contractor Durant!
"Ding, gain the favorability value of Westbrook the Turtle at 888!
“Ding, I gained a favorability value of 666 from Emperor Harden!
"Ding, gain Howard the Warcraft's rage value of 999!
"Ding, harvest the Turkish magician Turkoglu's anger value of 777!
"..."... After returning home and typing out the message prompt, Su Bei couldn't help but shook his head even though there was no emotion on his face.
"It's too shabby! This is the first time? Maybe they really think that the Thunder don't need me to play in the regular season! A darling like Durant, unless they can help him drink and wash his feet
Water, otherwise it is basically impossible to generate a lot of favorable feelings towards him. Westbrook is in a contract year, and if there is one more Su Bei, there will be one less opportunity to perform. It's a damn thing if you have any good impressions of him.
Fortunately, I have lost touch with the interest of data, and I don’t care whether I give you more or less..." He is what he is today, thanks to his own efforts!
Thinking of this, Su Bei felt much happier and became more active in eating late night snacks. There was nothing to say all night. At noon the next day, Su Bei flew to Minnesota with the team to challenge the next opponent in back-to-back away games.
Night has fallen. Target Center Arena. At this time, the home court of the Timberwolves is about to meet the challenge of the Thunder to kick off the home opener of the 11/12 season. The lights are bright and there is a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Durant and Beasley chatted about one dollar. The two got mad at each other. At the same time, Beasley was Durant's white moonlight. Durant's goal was to align with Beasley.
of.
Westbrook also chatted with Love for a few cents. The two are schoolmates and debuted together, so they can still chat for a few words.
Harden was not idle either. He found Rubio and said hello. After all, he made his debut in 2009. It is still necessary to welcome him to the NBA.
Barea came over to say hello on his own initiative, and Su Bei couldn't pretend he didn't know him. After all, in 2011, they carried a gun together and fought against the Heat's Big Three.
At this time, the big screen in the arena also showed the lineups for tonight's matchup. The five Timberwolves, Milicic, Love, Beasley, Wesley Johnson, and Luke Ridnour.
The five members of the Thunder team, Perkins, Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, and Westbrook. This game will be broadcast live by TNT Radio, with Mike Breen and Marv Albert as commentary partners.
"The Thunder and Timberwolves are very similar. The results and strength are completely different. Mike, what do you think?"
"To choose this path, you really need a ruthless vision. Back then, the Timberwolves drafted Garnett and received benefits for more than ten years. Now the Timberwolves have drafted Love as Garnett's substitute and only look at the offensive data.
In other words, he is almost the same as Garnett, but Love does not have a defensive system or defensive attributes. He is considered a partial star. He is different from an all-round talent like Garnett who is both offensive and defensive and can do everything. Hong Kong, this is
In the past few years, the Timberwolves have been more aggressive than the Thunder in terms of draft opportunities. However, no matter how many opportunities they have, they can't compare to the Thunder's perverted vision. It can even be said that the Thunder's draft vision has reached an outrageous level.
, the Timberwolves are also outrageous, but in the opposite direction..." You call this similarity?
The reason why the two teams are similar is because in 2007, the Thunder supported Ray Allen and the Timberwolves sent Garnett to the Celtics.
It can be said that the two teams were rebuilt in the same year. Hong Kong theory, the two teams' rebuilding chips are also very similar.
After all, Garnett = Ray Allen Lewis, this makes sense, right? However, the Timberwolves have always made wrong choices in the draft, but the Thunder have always made the right choices. They are both talented youths, and the Thunder won the championship.
Capital.
However, the Timberwolves are still the No. 1 pick. They are so sharp. How did they do it? Let’s go a step further and the game has begun.
Beep——! The whistle sounded, and the referee threw the basketball high in the air. Milicic defeated Yin Baka and won the first attack for the Timberwolves.
The parallel import number two of the 2003 generation, even though he is a parallel import, he is still number two. His talent is there, and Yin Baka, a second-round pick, really can't compare.
Su Bei follows the unremarkable-looking Wesley Johnson, the 4th overall pick in the 2010 draft.
For this role player, the Timberwolves would rather miss Cousins than acquire him.
"Luke Ridnour brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately handed it to Billis who was reaching for the ball. It is said that when Billis was in high school, beating Durant was like beating his younger brother. Durant was beaten and left.
Outside, he only dares to call himself the second person, not the first person. If Durant has ever seen a truly awesome man, he is Beasley. This matchup is very interesting. Both of them are the second pick.
, As a result, Durant's development in the advanced league is more than 100 million points better than Beasley's..." Outside the left three-point line, there are three offensive threats. Belis lifts the ball and steps forward, not waiting for Durant to react.
.
He immediately dribbled the ball to break through and was followed by Durant. He immediately half-turned around. When Durant thought he was going to hit him from behind, it was just a feint. Bliss turned back and continued to break through, changing direction and beating Durant's defense.
After shifting his center of gravity, he immediately took the ball and made an emergency stop to shoot Durant.
Durant relied on instinct and stretched out his 2.25-meter arm. He couldn't control the posture. Fortunately, his length was long enough and he was not afraid of facing the basket for a jumper.
Bang Dang——! The basketball hit the ball and missed. Beasley just stayed on the outside and failed to shoot in.
"In the first matchup, Durant won. Beasley, an offensive genius, was out of shape. Yin Baka won the Thunder's rebound and passed the ball to Westbrook to advance. He passed the ball to Durant.
The others pulled away and set up three offensive threats. Beasley lowered his focus on defense and looked at Durant with emotionless eyes. Durant feinted, immediately broke through with the ball, jumped up, and made an emergency stop at two points.
Jump shot... no, Durant threw the basketball into the basket in the air. Perkins took the ball, set a screen for Su Bei who cut into the basket, and handed the basketball to Su Bei quickly.
Take action to hit the Timberwolves' back door..." Peng, shua—!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With the knife in hand and the knife in hand, Su Bei easily scored two points. 2 to 0!
"It was Su Bei who took the lead in helping the Thunder open up their scoring account. Durant did not respond to Beasley's one-on-one challenge, but instead used team tactics. Although this choice is a bit disappointing for the individual, it is also a good thing for the team to come to Hong Kong.
, but very reasonable. Su Bei, a senior role player who debuted in 2005, is a rookie who debuted in 10 years. This choice is likely to be a score question..." It's not even possible, but a certainty.
In terms of looks alone, Su Bei can beat Wesley Johnson. In terms of strength, Wesley Johnson is not good enough.
During the transition between offense and defense, Ridnour dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, ignoring Bliss who continued to reach for the ball. Instead, he distributed the ball to Love in the high post on the left, and then cut to the basket without the ball, and then went to the basket.
Movement from the right corner.
Milicic pulled to the right corner and provided a screen for Wesley Johnson who was cutting inside. He let Wesley Johnson cut to the basket. Su Bei was firmly blocked from the outside and lost the defender.
.
At the same time, Beasley also cut to the basket from the left corner and led to Durant's defense.
"The Timberwolves' Princeton system is in good shape. At least, the high-post support tactics have been implemented, and the Thunder's two insiders were evacuated. Love's left horn made a fake pass to the basket.
Down, he feinted a shot and immediately dribbled the ball inward to break through. Yin Baka's defensive focus shifted. Love immediately stopped, pulled up the ball, raised his hand and shot a two-point emergency stop jumper..." There are three points in organizing forward tactics.
Threat, really hard to defend!
Yin Baka was fooled by Love's passing action. He fell behind step by step and fell behind step by step. As soon as the defensive focus started, Love immediately broke through and shot the ball, trying to see if there were bullets in the two-point pistol.
With three threats stacked against each other, Yin Baka could only instinctively reach out to block the shot, but his hand failed. Beep——!
Bang! The whistle sounded, the basketball bounced out of the basket, and the referee punished Yin Baka's thug.
"Love has the opportunity to make two free throws. The blessing of Princeton's system allows the Timberwolves to have a good one-on-one opportunity. The Thunder, which was originally weak defensively, has greater pressure on defense..." Swish——!
Whoa! Faced with the question of giving away points, Love, who has mid-range shooting skills, showed no mercy and made both free throws. 2 to 2!
Off the court, Adelman, who had finished his contract with the Rockets, was invited to coach the talented young Timberwolves.
Even though he had just taken over the team and the offensive movements of the players, he was still very satisfied. The basic Princeton framework was revealed.
There were high-position support and off-ball coverage. The only difference was that everyone was for me and I was passing the ball for everyone.
"The Thunder attacked, and Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Hey, he glanced at Durant. He suddenly accelerated, dribbled the ball in and broke through, acting like a reckless man. Luke Ridnour can't compare, his physical talent
There was too much difference. Love made a prediction in advance, and realized how strong Westbrook's body was, and made a move to help defend. Hey, Westbrook penetrated the defense and faced Love's help defense, but there was no
Lang, choose to send the basketball into the sky..." Bang Dang——!
Yin Baka dunked with both hands, his whole body hanging on the basket. 4 to 2!
"Love guessed the beginning, but failed to guess the ending. The stupid Westbrook made a beautiful assist, helping Yinbaka take off and hit the basket..." In just two rounds of testing, the Thunder have already tried
It's because of the depth of the Timberwolves' defense.
The question is how to play. Ridnour at the point guard can't stand it. Wade Johnson at the small forward can't stand it either.
Bliss, who plays shooting guard, is notorious for not playing defense. Against the league's leading scorer, who is left?
In addition, Love is also a master who only knows offense. Not to mention, the Timberwolves are quite suitable for Princeton's system, but they are not good at defense.
Since you know you can't defend, then drag the Thunder into an offensive rhythm so that no one can defend.
"The Timberwolves attacked, and the basketball was handed over to Billis, who still held the ball to challenge Durant. He lifted the ball and feinted, continued to break through with the ball, was followed, continued to turn around and play with his back, shook his shoulders, and immediately turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.
Take a shot..." Durant only relies on his physical ability to defend, with little technical content, but he is very active.
This kind of fighting spirit was obviously something that Billis could not predict. Bang Dang——!
"Still missed! In high school, maybe Durant was really just a younger brother to Billis. But five years later, Durant has been attacking, but Billis refused to improve because he was too talented.
..." It is not unusual for those who are lagging behind to catch up.
Hong Kong, at this time, Bliss has lost his sense of normalcy. A man who was fated by himself has become stronger just to drink foot-washing water. Who can he talk to to reason?
"Yin Baka acted as a forward and blocked Love, who averaged 15 rebounds per game in the 2010/11 season. Su Bei easily picked off the rebound. He took the ball two steps forward and immediately distributed the ball to Westbrook.
The Thunder failed to launch a counterattack, and the Thunder were not in a hurry..." A team without defense really doesn't need to be obsessed with counterattack.
It seems more reasonable to play steady ball.
"Driving the ball to the frontcourt, it was Westbrook's dribbling breakthrough again, which knocked Ridnour's defense away, reached the paint area, and faced Love's defense again. Hey, what the hell? Westbrook still chose to pass
The ball was passed by Su Bei, who came in through an air cut, and hit the back door of the Timberwolves, under the basket, took off, and made a rebound shot... Beautifully, he avoided Love's block and scored from the basket... No, it also caused a mistake
Love's thug fouled. As an alumnus of Love, Westbrook wants to give Love a makeover! The alley-oop is still not satisfactory, and this time it resulted in 2 1..." Swish——!
At the free throw line, despite boos, Su Bei made a steady free throw and put 3 points into his account. 7 to 2!
In just a few minutes, the gap between the two teams was visible to the naked eye. Although Su Bei took the cake, he became the most beautiful player offensively.
The Thunder's offensive options are not very harmful, but extremely insulting! You fell down before the core player Wang Zha was beaten. What about the promised matchup with a talent pool that is overflowing?
