When a superstar will continue to progress, it is a very scary thing.
Leonard nodded.
The Spurs' offense, Duncan's response from the free throw line, was given to Leonard.
Leonard flew a layup.
But Durant stretched out his long arm at this time, almost covered it directly!
"boom!"
Leonard's shot was disturbed and missed, and the rebound was taken by Perkins.
"Oh ~ Durant's strength has improved a lot compared to last season." Barkley said on the commentary.
"Yes, this may be the most important factor for the Thunder after losing Harden, they can also become the most popular factor." Smith nodded aside.
Is not only Barkley and Smith, the fans at the scene are also looking at Durant.
In the past, this attack and defense, they can clearly feel the progress of Durant's strength.
It seems that in the past offseason, he not only practiced dribbling, but also continued to improve his strength in other areas.
Until this time, many talents remembered that this was Durant's sixth season.
NBA players, at this time, if they remain in the league, either technical stereotypes, or there should be a big breakthrough.
Durant now clearly belongs to the latter.
He is not willing to be only the team's former Ray Allen!
The Thunder's offense, Leonard has defended Durant personally, but Durant's ballless run is fast, and the pick-and-roll Ibaka gave is in place.
Durant received the ball and saw Duncan's assist defense, directly dribbling the ball in place, shaking the space and then shot.
"唰!"
Shot back!
Durant scored 4 points in a row!
This is the biggest difference after Durant's dribble, he finally didn't need to use his long left leg to break through every time.
The Spurs' attack in the frontcourt, the hammer tactics ran out of chance, and Leonard took the opportunity to make a three-pointer.
Although he did not train with Tang Tian this past summer, he did not spend time in the offseason.
Turned back and Durant continued to catch the ball.
This time the rest of the Thunder pulled the space very wide.
Durrant's in-situ dribble drastically changed direction.
Leonard did not risk a steal this time, but grabbed a position in advance to block Durant's breakthrough route.
Although he is already a top-level defender, he keeps watching Tang Tian's defense off the court and he is still learning to improve.
Durant was blocked on the right, but he didn't stop the ball, and directly changed to the long leg of the left to break through.
The same offensive approach, but significantly smoother than last season.
Durant broke into the inside and layup against Leonard's big swing.
Leonard struggled to defend, but failed to cover it, hit Durant's arm and was defensive fouled.
"boom!"
Even more deadly is that Durant kept his hand shape very well after being fouled. The shot under the confrontation was still sent to the basket!
twenty one!
There was a restlessness on the sidelines.
After the opening of Durant, it was unstoppable!
The scene shot gave Durant, Durant and Westbrook fierce high-five for the first time, but his face was still cold.
"Now I think Kevin can really compete with LeBron MVP, he now looks a little undefensive." Kenny Smith said with emotion.
Durant's opportunity to increase the penalty, Popovich took advantage of this time to call Tang Tian to the sidelines.
"Can you guard him?" Popovich asked quickly.
Tang Tian shook his head.
Now Durant, because Harden was traded, the Spurs award ceremony, a combination of factors, strength and status are different from last season.
If you continue to use the "Death" comics for comparison, it has evolved from the strength of "mask" to the "virtual" state.
"Are you going to defend him?" Popovich then asked.
Tang Tian did not hesitate, nodded directly.
Leonard can't resist, only he can get it, and he has to defend.
Popovich nodded with satisfaction and turned to call Green.
Substitution, on the sidelines, Green replaced Leonard on the court.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Tang Tian is the biggest ace of the Spurs now on the defensive end!
"Here, we are familiar with Don VS Durant." Barkley said loudly on the sidelines, as if that was the most attractive part of the game.
"Two guys who don't deal with each other." Smith echoed.
Durant used the trumpet to fight Tang Tian, and Tang Tian sprayed Durant with **** words. Last season, the two were on the same field.
Now that the new season has arrived, the match between the two has started again!
Durant saw the Spurs' substitutions and realized that Tang Tian was going to play against him again, his face was more murderous.
"唰!"
Durant's penalty also went in.
He scored 7 points in the opening to help the Thunder lead 7-3.
The Spurs continued to play hammer tactics in the frontcourt, and it was still Zip.
Leonard came off, Tang Tian replaced his tactical position, waiting for the ball in the corner.
Parker scored after the breakthrough, but Tang Tian received the ball and was helped by Ibaka who was defending.
With the experience of last season, the Thunder are well aware that Tang Tian's three-point threat is much greater than that of Green and Leonard, and the pressure on defense is not a grade.
But when Ibaka flew up to help defending, Tang Tian suddenly dribble the ball forward and then passed the ball with his right hand.
The ball flew from Ibaka's side ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Then flew directly to Duncan's hand under the basket.
After Duncan catches the ball, it is directly a close-up shot.
"boom!"
The ball wipes into the frame.
"Pie King" Duncan went online.
Duncan reached for Tang Tian after scoring a goal.
The two brought the Chinese match to the regular season!
There were whistle sounds on the sidelines.
If Tang Tian showed the passing ability in the preseason game and worried them that the intensity of the game was not enough, then this pass completely dispelled their worry!
Tang Tian now, just can pass!
"Durant was not last season's Durant, and Don was not last season's Don anymore, man, you have to be careful about his pass!"
After Tang Tian and Durant confronted each other, Buckley's commentary sentiment remained high, and he shouted.
Durant received Tang Tian from the frontcourt. After the dribble breakthrough was blocked by Tang Tian, he directly received an emergency stop and leaned back. The whole movement was very consistent.
"唰!"
Durant scored another goal against Tang Tian's defense and scored 9 points after the opening!
In Bleach, Ichigo's strength doubles when he enters the masked state, but after the blur, the direct combat power bursts the table.
As Tang Tian said to Popovich, he can't help it now.
But Durant scored a goal here, Tang Tian ran out of opportunities in the frontcourt.
This time Ibaka helped defend again, but he obviously did not dare to be as thorough as the last round, but paid attention to Duncan's position behind him.
Tang Tian shot directly.
Ibaka was too late to interfere.
"唰!"
Tang Tian returned to Durant for a three-point answerball!
