"Ding, gain the favorability value of contractor Durant at 999!
"
"Ding, gain the favorability value of Westbrook the Turtle at 777!
"
"Ding, gain the favorability value of Harden, the porcelain emperor, 666!
"
"Ding, get Howard the Warcraft Rage Value of 333!
"
"Ding, harvest the anger value of Turkish magician Turkoglu 111!
"
"..."
On the passenger plane flying to the next city, Su Bei couldn't sleep. He flipped through the information prompts and was speechless.
"The favorability value will not increase. After all, after going through the running-in period, there is no freshness. It is a little bit difficult to squeeze out the favorability value among the three Thunder Young Masters.
But the anger value, Warcraft only gives this amount?
Happy Basketball truly deserves its reputation.
Well, it can’t be said that there is no passing. With contagious passing, teammates become indifferent to winning or losing, and regard basketball as a normal job..."
Well, forget it!
Since you can't close your eyes, let's check the next opponent's information!
Seven years as one day, Su Bei likes this rhythm.
The information about Joe Johnson, nicknamed Singles Joe, caught Su Bei's eyes.
At this time, Joe Johnson, who was born in 1981, has just turned 31 years old and his condition has just begun to decline. This season, he has only 19 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds. In the battle with Josh Smith for the Eagle King, he is gradually falling behind. party.
After all, Josh Smith's playing style is still too attractive to fans. Just ask in one word: awesome!
And Joe Johnson feels simple and unpretentious, as if he is not very interested.
Su Bei doesn't think so, knowing that Joe Johnson just likes to keep a low profile and play restrained.
After all, the man nicknamed "Singles Joe" is naturally very tough.
Is it hard there?
It's all hard there!
If you want to attack, you have to attack, if you want to defend, you have to defend.
Then, he looked at Joe Johnson's substitutes, the opponents he might encounter, Marvin Williams, Tracy McGrady, Stackhouse, Hinrich...
The Eagles' offensive line, I don't know if it sounds nice or not, there is too much talent.
“The Eagles are going to work hard this year.
They started rebuilding in 2004, but by 2007 they were already overflowing with talent.
In the playoffs that year when the peach blossoms were blooming, the Eagles could be the top three of the Green Army, but they only lost in the tiebreaker..."
Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford, Marvin Williams...all have top-notch talents. As long as they are given time to grow, they will have a place in the Eastern Conference playoff stage.
It's a pity that the Big Three of the Green Army joined together, and then James followed suit and started playing brother basketball. Through the draft and signings, the Hawks also assembled their own low-end version of the Big Three.
This is the ultimate they can achieve. The former talented players have developed their strength to the extreme after several years of training and growth.
Aiming to be No. 1 in the league?
Said this year is this year!
This year, if there are no results, the Eagles can only consider rebuilding.
It was also rumored that it was broken up by James.
At this time, the Tigers ranked third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 25 wins and 12 losses.
The Heat led by James and the Bulls led by Rose are pressing on them above, and the Magic led by Warcraft and the Green Army led by the Big Five are chasing them below. They are in a situation where they are neither up nor down.
March 3, Phillips Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Eagles was about to start a regular game with the Thunder. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Durant and Joe Johnson, the Eagle King, chatted for a few cents.
At the same time, Horford also added a few cents to chat.
They both debuted in 2007 as Durant. One is second and the other is No. 3. Each has achieved good results, so naturally they can talk together.
Westbrook and Josh Smith, the two second-in-commands, also laughed and chatted.
There are big bosses on their heads, and the two have similar playing styles, so they can indeed find a lot of topics to talk about.
Su Bei warmed up quietly. He couldn't talk to McGrady, right?
Marvin Williams, as the second pick in 2005, is a parallel import, and he can't even talk to Jiangsu Bei.
Speaking of which, Su Bei will also face Marvin Williams in the next matchup.
However, Su Bei's attempt to be quiet was interrupted by Jeff Teague, who came over on his own initiative and chatted with Su Bei about the affairs of his predecessors at Wake Forest University.
It’s only a few threads, and it’s not too much since he’s his own schoolmate!
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Hawks' starting five are Al Horford, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Joe Johnson, and Jeff Teague.
The Thunder's starting five are Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, Billups, and Westbrook.
This game will be broadcast live by TNT Radio. Barkley partners with Kenny Smith and Jeff Van Gundy as a commentary team.
“Tonight’s game was a burst of talent.
Whether it is the Hawks or the Thunder, their teams have risen through the draft.
The Thunder management has a better draft vision, but there is no big deal in the free market.
The Hawks didn't have a good draft vision. They also missed Chris Paul and Deron Williams in 2005, but the failure cycle was very long. At the same time, they also signed Joe Johnson, a very capable star to lead the team. With the free market blooming, both teams have the possibility of reaching the finals.
It's really hard to guess their winning percentage tonight. If I had to guess, I hope it would be 50-50. "
"Kenny, what do you think?
In all fairness, I am more optimistic about the Thunder, because in the free market, the Thunder finally made a big move, signing Su Bei and Billups, and filling in their shortcomings one by one.
The Hawks' shortcomings can't be filled, but the strength and intensity are not as effective as the Thunder. I guess it's 6-4, the Thunder is 6, and the Hawks are 4.
You know, the Hawks are playing back-to-back games. Even if they have a home court, it shouldn't be easy to defeat the Thunder, which ranks first in the regular season. "
"Tactically, the two teams are almost the same. They both play with talent. They are indeed very close. It depends on the performance of their stars on the court..."
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in the air. Horford defeated Yin Baka and got the ball for the Eagles' first attack.
Jeff Teague, the 19th overall pick in 2009, serves as the starting point guard this season. He averages 12 points and 5 assists per game and performs well. He gets the basketball and advances quickly.
Su Bei followed up and guarded Marvin Williams, and there was little pressure.
Billups wanted to test Joe Johnson's hardness with his own hands, and Su Bei had to let him go.
“Jeff Teague takes the ball to the top key, and the rest of the Hawks all stretch out, forming a one-on-one pattern at various positions, whose card he will turn over.
meaning?
Instead of giving it to Eagle King Joe Johnson, he turned over the card of second-in-command Josh Smith. In the low post on the left, Josh Smith got the basketball and immediately rushed up with the ball, acting like a reckless person..."
Durant blocked it with his body, fought back, and retreated to the basket. Josh Smith jumped up without any reason and faced Durant's block, which was a one-handed shot from behind. Click...
I originally thought that Westbrook was already very brave, but I didn't expect that there was someone more brave than Westbrook. Whose unreasonableness was this?
Durant had no choice but to open his hands and cover the basket.
Bang-dang——!
"What a show!
A very beautiful dunk from behind!
Josh Smith started the game with a show, successfully dunking on Durant, helping the Hawks take the lead in scoring.
In terms of physical confrontation and defense, Durant, the two-time scoring champion, is still a little too standard. Durant really can't stand this kind of unreasonable impact play..."
0 to 2!
Josh Smith's physical talent is so explosive, and this season, he has reached his peak, with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, which is incomparable to Durant's statistics.
But that kind of reckless style of play really doesn't hold up.
Josh Smith, who is 2.06 meters tall, shows the advantage of a no-three-no-four style.
Those who are taller than him, stronger than him, not as fast as him, those who are faster than him, are not as tough as him...
Durant is tall and thin, but his speed and strength are inferior, and the defensive matchup is simply defeated.
Fortunately, for the scoring champion to come to Hong Kong, it really means nothing compared to those who are defensive.
Westbrook also knew what Durant was thinking, brought the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately handed the damn basketball into Durant's hands.
“Su Bei pulled to the left corner and Marvin Williams followed up.
Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the left, Durant held the ball and singled out Josh Smith, posing as an offensive three-threat. After taking a step to lift the ball, he immediately dribbled the ball to the right to break through.
Josh Smith was not slow and immediately followed up with a step back.
What the hell?
As soon as Durant entered the two-point line, he immediately stopped, took the ball, and shot Josh Smith..."
At this time, defensively, Josh Smith immediately felt the pain of not being three or four.
At 2.06 meters tall, he could still reach Durant's shot of 2.11 meters tall despite working very hard on defense.
He had no choice but to try his best to block shots, and then bet that Durant's two-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
Wrong guess, Durant responded with bullets in his pistol.
He raised the knife and dropped it, accurately scoring two points.
“Very nice!
Durant used his physical talent to teach Josh Smith how to be a man, so that he could know that it is not enough to just play hard, you also have to have work on your hands, and you have to shoot accurately..."
2 to 2!
No way, Durant's talent will be mismatched by anyone.
Josh Smith is just one of them.
At the beginning of the game, Su Bei played a small role and played the soy sauce.
After all, both Su Bei and Marvin Williams are advanced version of role players.
It is most reasonable to hurt each other silently and not become the protagonist on the field.
They both debuted in the 2005 class, so we knew each other more or less, and we happened to watch a show next to each other and chat about how many cents were spent.
On the field, the Eagles attack.
"Jeff Teague finally turned over Joe Johnson's card and did not favor Josh Smith alone. This is a matter of rain and dew!
Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right, Joe Johnson held the ball against Billups.
Posing as an offensive three-threat, after taking a step, he immediately dribbled the ball through and did not panic even after being blocked by Billups in the frontcourt.
He turned around and gave Billups a slap in the butt. After taking a step forward, he shook his shoulders, turned around, took off the ball, and raised his hand to shoot a fadeaway jumper..."
Billups, who is 1.91 meters tall, has an advantage in physical talent as a point guard, but the defensive swingman, Joe Johnson, who is 2.01 meters tall, has no options at all and can only listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
The knife fell from the hand, and Joe Johnson hit a fadeaway jumper.
"My back-up skills are very solid, and my breakthrough is not flashy, but I win with accurate mid-range shots, and my offense is always unfavorable.
Joe Johnson's singles ability is too strong.
Of course, the Eagles team building philosophy is also a big help..."
The question is about the swingman team building model.
Of the five players on the field, they were all misplaced swingmen. No matter who they were on defense, it was difficult to defend.
Although the Eagles' offensive routine is limited to individual singles, the offensive efficiency is still very impressive due to the dislocation advantage of the swingman. In addition, they are all offensive strongmen, so it is really difficult to defend.
Off the court, Scott Brooks had a calm face.
If the Thunder can't defend it, then the Hawks can't defend it either.
"Westbrook continues to distribute the ball to Durant.
Against Josh Smith, this is an advantageous game. It makes sense to hand the ball to Durant to resolve the battle..."
Another three-threat offense. When he saw Josh Smith take half a step, he neither allowed a breakthrough nor a shot. Durant was not used to him. A three-point pull-up jump shot.
"This unreasonable attack, Josh Smith still can't block the shot, he can only listen to the gunshot..."
Bang-dang——!
The three-point shot missed.
The basket is not used to Durant, and he will die if he tries a three-pointer. Lu Xun's words still make sense.
"In the scramble for rebounds, Westbrook rushed into the penalty area and regained the basketball that Durant lost.
What the hell?
Westbrook took the ball out, jumped out again, and then, without respecting martial ethics, he pulled it up and shot..."
Jeff Teague's defense was mediocre, and he was so naked that all he could do was listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
Still missed.
Durant and Westbrook, both of them just stayed on the outside and failed to push forward forcefully.
"The opportunity came out, and the shots from both Thunder players were useless.
The rebound was protected by Horford. After landing, he immediately dribbled the ball forward and the Eagles counterattacked.
After a few dribbles, the basketball was handed to Jeff Teague. The latter dribbled the ball very quickly. After halftime, he immediately pushed with both hands and delivered the basketball to Josh Smith who rushed to the left frontcourt.
He took one step with the ball, jumped up in the paint, and hit the basket in a one-on-one shot..."
I saw him sprinting quickly, then flying up desperately, jumping with his feet so high that they could step on his chest, gliding in the air, and smashing the basketball in a coquettish way.
Durant, who retreated to the basket, stiffened slightly, showing respect, and took the initiative to get out of the way to prevent himself from becoming a backdrop.
Then, a clang was heard, and the entire basket trembled.
The Eagles counterattacked with two points.
2 to 4!
"It's so passionate!
Josh Smith's eagle dunk set the entire arena on fire.
This kind of jumping up with all your strength, risking your life, and slamming into the basket without fear of injury really makes people's blood boil and they can't help themselves..."
No problem, others only play for money, but Josh Smith plays for life.
People use their lives to play ball, what do you use to support them?
It's no wonder that Josh Smith can become the most handsome boy on the court.
His performance and the sense of excitement are not something that Durant can show just by hanging out.
Of course, this is not understandable to Su Bei, a slutty sidekick.
The body rushes up, and the only thing left in the eyes is the basket. This kind of courage alone is not something that ordinary people can bear.
What singles Joe?
Under Josh Smith's life-threatening style of play, they could only give way obediently.
The question is, which one of Josh Smith's playing styles best matches the man named Eagle King.
Joe Johnson is so low-key, no matter how good he plays, he doesn't deserve it!
Just two points, okay?
Looking back, Durant continued to attack on the outside with a mediocre jump shot to teach Josh Smith that no matter how passionate he dunked, it was only two points.
It's just a pity that I can't teach him, so he still sent the basketball and the basket flew out.
"Durant seemed to be in a hurry tonight on offense!
Last night, Kobe Bryant scored 38 points against the Kings, surpassing Durant on the scoring list.
Obviously, Durant also wants to keep his position as the scoring leader. He must take more shots and score more points to defeat Kobe..."
Durant, who has won the scoring title for two consecutive years, can have a chance to compete with Jordan.
Three years!
Just need to win the scoring title for three consecutive years.
Durant can become the only man after Jordan to win the scoring title for three consecutive years.
He has to decide whether to compete for the championship or the scoring title.
In order to help Durant win the scoring title, the Thunder also tried its best to cooperate, making Durant the only protagonist tonight, and everyone else was a supporting role.
However, Durant was useless. He only made 1 of 6 shots in the first quarter. With 5 of 6 free throws, he did not let his score become ugly. He scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
Su Bei only had one chance to shoot a three-pointer, but luckily he took it, hitting 1 of 1 and scoring 3 points.
Westbrook performed well, and Jeff Teague couldn't guard him at all. After his first shot, he frequently hit the basket, making 4 of 5 shots, and even hit a 3-pointer. He efficiently scored 9 points and 0 assists. He is so strong, and there is no one who plays point guard but has no assists.
Although the Eagles had Josh Smith stealing the show, they played a team-oriented game.
After the first quarter, the score was 30 to 24, and the Eagles had a 6-point lead.
