Chapter 691 Really, I don't believe it (2/54)
Derek Fisher's top three-point line kicked off the veteran's outbreak.
Half a minute later, he called the pick-and-roll to make a quick layup, which hit Cousins' weakness of not being good at defending the pick-and-roll.
After scoring 5 points in a row, it has not ended yet.
Another minute later, Fisher received the ball at the top of the arc and observed the situation for a few seconds. Durant personally did a pick-and-roll for him. If he didn't look at his figure, Durant may be the most pick-and-roll threatening person in the league. He has a broad range and can pull it to any position after completing the pick-and-roll. Even if he receives the ball in a bad position, he can use his personal ability to force the opponent.
Fisher took advantage of Durant's offensive threat and dribbled on the left.
The 76ers' defense against him was basically in place. Fisher, who originally wanted to continue to kill the basket, was curbed. Seeing that the game was no longer possible, he had a sudden idea and dribble back and stepped out of the three-point line on the left corner. If it weren't for his skin color and bare head, it would be difficult to associate the Warriors' No. 30, which made people think that the little demon who produced Golden State imitated the little boy from Akron came to Oxford to join.
Fisher scored another crazy goal!
"Derek Fisher has a big heart like Robert Horry! You can't ignore his existence anyway, even if he's never a superstar!"
However, Cousins still ignored his existence.
He served the ball casually, allowing Fisher to see the opportunity to intercept the ball. He started as fast as lightning and knocked the ball out with a snap.
The young people on the Thunder bench danced like they were drinking. Cousins panickedly helped in defense and failed to stop the old fish from hitting the red throw from the sunset.
With one's own strength, he scored 9 points in a row within four minutes. How could he look like a 39-year-old veteran?
Fisher not only helped the Thunder take the lead, but also allowed them to lead the 76ers by 4 points.
Jay Wright was forced to call for a pause.
Cousins grabbed his headband in the palm of his hand, shook his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Wei Xia had no intention of blaming him. Apart from the last serve, Fisher scored 10 points in a row, which was a team's improper defense, and had nothing to do with him.
As soon as they got off the court, they suddenly heard Cousins say at the top of their voice: "I was wrong, I should pay more attention to that old man!"
"Brothers, I'm sorry!" Cousins said loudly.
Upon hearing Cousins' apology, Wright seemed to find that the Husky at home suddenly knew how to guard the house.
Hayward even became a archer: "If the apology is useful, what else do the police do?"
"You still have to call the police?" Cousins asked seriously, "Is Philadelphia's law so rough? Are you going to jail after being scored 10 points on the court?"
Before Cousins' imagination spread, Wei Xia took the lead in stopping him.
"Before you go to prison, learn to serve first, so as to avoid slipping your hands when handing over soap." Wei Xia said with a smile.
Wright interrupted their joke: "Okay! First of all, let's be clear, don't let the 39-year-old man kick our ass!"
He said this, there was an old man in the 76ers who were also 39 years old who was not convinced.
To get Wright's attention, he also coughed.
Wright indeed replaced him, and made major adjustments to the lineup.
Any fan who has watched the NCAA game of the Villanova Wildcats coached by Wright would not be surprised by his individual lineup.
Nash, No. 1, Holiday, No. 2, Weisha, No. 4, Hayward, No. 5, Cousins.
Although the general trend of basketball in the future is to blur the forward position, and most forwards must be able to match the two forward positions, the time has not come after all.
Wright's approach looks extremely bold.
The 76ers decided to hit Wei Xia the first ball after the timeout.
Just after halftime, Wei Xia got the ball from the top of the arc and the Thunder allowed Durant to face him.
Durant, who has a bare feet of 209 cm in height, and his 228 cm wingspan can cover Wei Xia in both height and width.
In dealing with Durant, Wei Xia has three basic plans: strong attack, breakthrough, and footsteps.
Breakthrough is the easiest, the steps are the most interesting, and the hardest and most boring attack is the most difficult and boring.
Except for Kobe, any unreasonable strong shot will be said to be lucky even if you enter.
Kobe is so weird. He is accurate. You will think, Kobe, fuck, Wu Liu; if he is not accurate, you will still think, Kobe, how many tricks are?
This different treatment has caused people like Wei Xia to be mentally unbalanced by their skills, so they couldn't help but say a few words to the guy in front of the media.
Today, Wei Xia’s way of playing against Durant is much simpler and more straightforward.
Wei Xia took the ball and walked on the left. Basketball enthusiasts all over the world know that the left hand is not Wei Xia's strong hand, and it is much worse than the threat of the right hand. However, in a few years, Durant has made considerable progress. He opened his arms and followed him like a shadow.
His body stopped with Wei Xia's center of gravity.
Wei Xia collected the ball, and the tremor of the left shoulder was difficult to tell whether it was true or false, so Durant jumped into the air. Wei Xia didn't need to do anything else. The moment Durant was shaken by his shoulder, the initiative came to his hand. He just needed to jump in the opposite direction and take action, swish!
"With your talent, it's a pity that your current defense is now." Wei Xia said sourly.
Durant is the one who refuses to suffer losses, and he accurately hits the key points: "From your experience, your current jump shot skills are still far from Kobe at his peak."
Wei Xia stopped to return to defense.
A second later, he turned his eyes and smiled, "Really, I don't believe it."
Wei Xia has always been a very direct way to express emotions. The defensive end is to prevent you from killing you, the offensive end is to destroy you, the game is isolated, the whole process consumes you, and it is best that after one game, the audience doesn't care much about you.
This is the "frozen tactic" of the Smiling Assassin's All-Star Game against rookie Jordan.
But the Assassin joined forces with many stars from the East at that time, Wei Xia was the only one. Of course, people who did not know how to connect all the powers they could connect could not achieve great things. When necessary, he had to ask Holiday to help fill the seat. Sometimes, Hayward's bag was crucial. In some rounds, Cousins's assisted defense made people want to kiss him in the face. Most importantly, when Durant's attack started, Nash's super dessert had to be placed in his blind spot.
The Thunder's offense is just like their team name, with a thunderous momentum.
The only problem is that it is not taken care of whether Fisher's legs can keep up with this speed.
The young man ran away, he couldn't.
His pass was less forceful, and the offensive position was wrong. Holiday cleverly found the opponent's pass route and intercepted the ball.
Hayward picked up the broken ball and counterattacked.
When the basketball was given to Wei Xia, he raised the rhythm.
The 76ers have not fought such a fast-paced attack in a long time.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his college years. In his sophomore season, he led the legendary Wildcats to win the championship, which is still a memory he talks about.
Wei Xia took care of Nash's athletic ability and waited for him to be in place.
The Thunder's defensive attention was all on him, regardless of Nash who landed outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.
Wei Xia made a goal, Nash made a three-pointer, and 76ers overtook!
Thunder's bad positional war offensive forces them to change their strategies.
Finally, Durant leaned against Wei Xia on the low post on the right.
His long arms spread out and he reached out to ask for the ball.
When dealing with Durant, Wei Xia never expects to affect his sight from a height, disrupt the core strength of his lower limbs, and make him unable to find the right force point. This is the only way to prevent him from attacking at a low post.
There is almost no player on the basketball court who is longer, taller, and more flexible than him - perhaps the young Garnett?
What Wei Xia didn't expect was that Durant didn't think about making things too complicated.
Durant used his back to sense Wei Xia's defensive movements, but he didn't go deeper even if he took a step. He decisively pulled the ball, turned around, and used his long arms to drag the ball upwards. Wei Xia held his hands against his back and inevitably had contact with it.
Even if his hands are in a safe area, such contact will be regarded as a foul by the referee.
In less than 0.3 seconds, the referee whistle sounded.
"No matter how strong the defense is, I'm afraid of the whistle." Durant muttered.
"No, you in this round and I in the last round are the difference between the four-time scoring Asians and the four-time scoring champions." Wei Xia quickly adjusted his mentality, "I believe every audience can see clearly that I deserve it in the past four years."
Durant's face changed: "The scoring champion has no trophy..."
“But mvp has.”
"Have you won the MVP season?"
"I've had that thing in 2008."
"That's because Kobe is your teammate!"
Wei Xia smiled happily and said, "No, you don't really know who the fmvp was that year, right?"
Durant's two consecutive free throws on the free throw line proved that he knew who the scoring champion was that year, but he was insincere for the need to squirt about trash.
Wei Xia's trash talk hurt Durant's heart.
To express his dissatisfaction, Durant frantically squandered his talent and used his arm length to interfere with his opponent's pass.
Wei Xia did not deliberately seek the position or seriously demand the ball. Durant did this to effectively isolate the 76ers' ball rights from Wei Xia.
But doing so did not stop the 76ers from scoring.
Looking at the dimension of 39 years old, Nash's strength is not worse than Fisher.
Or it can be said that the healthy Nash is still a point guard with starting strength. He called pick-and-roll, scored Holiday and assisted the young man to score three-pointers.
Durant, who had an explosive mentality, wanted to find trouble for Wei Xia, turned over and made a move.
Fortunately, the Thunder retreated quickly, so Nash called another pick-and-roll.
Cousins stepped forward actively, and he knew that Nash would not waste the opportunity. The most wonderful pick-and-roll attack was the ball-holder and the pick-and-roller.
After Nash entered the paint area, the Thunder's defense was cracked. He passed the ball with his back, and Cousins received the ball and dunked with a single arm.
