Compared to the bottom-placed SuperSonics, the Knicks are much stronger.
The score difference between the two teams in the first half basically reflected the gap between the two sides, and there was not much suspense in the game.
The Sonics have no intention of fighting. Their goal this season is simply to let Durant "level up."
The team's performance was not good, and they just happened to get a lottery pick. Since they chose to rebuild, they have enough patience.
The atmosphere on the Knicks side was very relaxed, and Isiah Thomas even joked about asking Yi Jianlian to score the highest score in his career.
Previously, Yi Jianlian's highest score was 26 points against the Bobcats. He only needed 8 points in the second half to tie the record.
Judging from Yi Jianlian's status today, as long as he has enough shots, getting 30+ is not a problem.
Domestic studios.
There is no suspense in the game, and Director Zhang and Yu Jia naturally focus on the two Chinese players.
"The Knicks are much better than the SuperSonics, so winning the game shouldn't be a problem."
"Now it depends on the performance of Li Yan and Yi Jianlian."
"Today, Xiao Li did not have a strong desire to attack. He has been giving the ball to his teammates, especially A Lian. It can be seen that Xiao Li still takes good care of A Lian."
"Indeed, half of Xiao Li's assists were given to Arab League. At critical moments, his own people are still reliable."
"However, Xiao Li has a record to keep. He has 25 consecutive games with 30+ points. This record ranks second in the NBA, second only to the "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain."
"Of course, it is too difficult to catch up with Chamberlain's record. Now we just want to see how many games Xiao Li can push his record."
"The Sonics' defense is average. To be honest, if he wants to, it's easy to score 30 points."
"Ah Lian is in good condition today. Let's see if Xiao Li can give Ah Lian 40 points."
"Haha, this is a bit too much!"
…………
The second half of the game started quickly.
Li Yan held the ball for half the game. Earl Watson wanted to go up to put pressure, but Li Yan easily pushed back.
There was no need for a pick-and-roll, and Li Yan, who was a head taller than Earl Watson, still sent him flying.
"Holy shit! Master Li is changing directions more and more now, and he was sent flying in two strokes."
"It's really scary. I feel like this extraordinary player is very much like Iverson."
"It is said that Kobe has mastered all of Jordan's skills, but Master Li is even better than Kobe. He is always improving."
"Yes, it feels like his skill set is getting more and more."
"It's amazing. Master Li must have suffered a lot."
"God rewards hard work, Master Li said it himself. He spent the entire offseason practicing holding the ball with both hands to break the press."
"It's so touching. I have to hold the ball in my hand when I sleep. What a great perseverance..."
Fans were buzzing on the forums.
After Li Yan passed Watson, he went straight to the inside.
Facing Kurt Thomas, Li Yan used his left foot as a pivot and turned around smoothly.
Kurt Thomas was instantly left behind, and Li Yan jumped high and easily made a layup.
Sonics offense.
Durant used the screen to get an open shot, and Watson's pass was timely.
One step inside the three-point line, Durant caught the ball and shot directly.
The basketball drew a rainbow in the air, "Whoa!"
Hollow into the net.
Durant hit a long two-point shot.
Durant's jump shot rate after using the screen is still very high.
There is no problem with Du Xiaoshuai's shooting skills. His touch has always been soft. The reason why he often strikes is because of insufficient confrontation.
In the face of strong confrontation, Durant's shooting posture is prone to deformation, resulting in a serious drop in hit rate.
Next round.
After Li Yan broke through to attract a double-team, he passed the ball to Yi Jianlian from the outside.
Ah Lian made it in one fell swoop and scored three points.
Supersonic round.
Durant still avoided Li Yan and kept running without the ball.
This time, the Knicks' defensive switch was in place, and Yi Jianlian pounced on Durant.
Durant was a little anxious in attacking this time. He didn't have the patience to look for opportunities, but directly faced Yi Jianlian's defensive shot.
An elegant emergency stop in the middle distance, the basketball barely passed Yi Jianlian's long arm, "duang!"
The basketball fell out of the basket.
The rebound was won by David Lee.
The Knicks counterattacked and took a big lead. Li Yan played very casually.
Arriving at the top of the arc, Li Yan observed the Sonics' defensive formation and slammed the ball to the ground.
The basketball passed through the crowd and miraculously found Yi Jianlian, who was cutting from the baseline to the basket.
"Boom!" No need to adjust, Ah Lian flew and dunked.
"Wow!" Key Arena rang with exclamations. This pass was incredible.
Slow motion shows that there are three SuperSonics players on the passing route between Li Yan and Yi Jianlian.
The ground pass was undoubtedly a gamble.
Li Yan was actually not sure, but since the fight was successful, he had to choose to pretend.
Li Yan pointed to his eyes, and then pointed to Yi Jianlian, indicating that everything was under control.
This is Li Yan's classic celebration of a good ball.
As a "key man" from the era of the Internet explosion, Li Yan knows the importance of media publicity.
Don't underestimate these celebrations. Lillard was able to reach a position where he shouldn't be, and the classic "watch the clock" winning move played a huge role.
There is no denying Lillard's key ball ability, but this "watch the watch" victory celebration really adds a lot to Lillard.
…………
Sonics offense.
Durant didn't force the ball after receiving the ball. He gave the ball to Jeff Green on the other side.
As another player who has been trained by the Sonics, although Jeff Green does not have Durant's "unlimited firing rights", he still has stable shooting opportunities in every game.
Jeff Green faced Artest and made continuous tentative steps.
As a result, Artest didn't even bother him, which made Jeff Green's broadcast gymnastics look a bit embarrassing.
In fact, the reason why Anthony's triple threat is effective is based on Melo's top breakthrough and shooting abilities.
But Jeff Green's shooting percentage is even lower than Du Xiaoshuai.
His shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line is only 27%, compared to Durant's 28%, and Durant's shooting environment is not as good as Jeff Green.
Artest quietly watched Jeff Green "swaying" back and forth, and calmly raised his arms.
"Duang!" Shooting and hitting the iron.
David Li took the main position, and Li Yan got the backcourt rebound and launched a fast break directly.
With a long overhead pass, the basketball crossed half the court and accurately reached Yi Jianlian's hands.
Facing Watson's pursuit, Yi Jianlian showed good ball-holding skills.
He took two dribbles to get past Watson.
Starting to attack the basket, Yi Jianlian jumped high and finished with a one-handed chop.
"Well done!"
In the domestic studio, Yu Jia stood up excitedly: "UAE scored the 30th point in this game. This is the first time in his NBA career that he has scored more than 30 points."
Director Zhang nodded and smiled very happily: "Come on, you can continue to increase your score!"
