Vol 2 Chapter 620: West decides to win first, and the 'superstar' is born!

May 21, 2008, Toyota Center in Houston.
In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Houston Rockets and Seattle Supersonics are playing.
At the beginning of this game, the Rockets fans who had only one MVP in the world had no intention to call this slogan.
When they call this slogan, it means they feel they can win.
And when they stop this slogan, it also means that they feel that they may lose!
Before this game started, they really didn't think this game would start like this!
They never thought the Rockets would start so hard.
The development of this game completely exceeded their imagination.
The first quarter of the game just started, facing Artest's unfavorable small action harassment.
Yes unexpectedly defeated all small movements of Artest.
In the next two quarters, the rotation time of the two sides, facing the Rockets with the strongest NBA rotation, Seattle SuperSonics only lost the Houston Rockets by four points when using the same full rotation lineup as the Houston Rockets!
You know, the last round of the Lakers and the last round of the Thunder, if not in the rotation of the main core players, it will collapse!
Last season's Seattle Supersonics was the weakest team in NBA history with rotation replacements. In just two seasons, the Houston Rockets can withstand the Houston Rockets rotation team!
And what about the next game?
Durant's singles performance in the game made the Houston Rockets fans stunned.
Singles McGrady, pick-and-place transposition singles Gerald Wallace, pick-and-place transposition singles Artest, pick-and-place transposition singles Roy, and even pick-and-place transposition singles Yao Ming!
If you count the Ariza who came off the bench.
Durant singled out all six core players in the Houston Rockets' Wolves tactics for the rest of the second quarter!
"Durant is not Randolph, Durant is Kobe!"
"In this game, this round of series, Durant plays the role of Kobe!"
"Durant is the" infinite singles "role in the Seattle SuperSonics series!"
Unlimited singles!
And unlike Kobe's passive unlimited singles, Durant showed active unlimited singles in the second quarter!
Actively go to singles McGrady, actively go to singles Artest, actively go to singles Roy, actively go to singles Ariza, and even actively go to singles Yao Ming and Gerald Wallace!
In such a crazy active unlimited singles, Durant showed the singles technology is really jaw-dropping!
Everyone can see that Durant is not a particularly high, very fast, and particularly capable player, but he is faster than him, he is faster than him, he is faster than him, and he may even be able to jump. A large change of direction can't keep up!
Coupled with his comprehensive technique, the Houston Rockets prepared to oppress Yes and destroy Yes after showing fangs throughout the second quarter.
But in the end the game turned into Durant using his singles like Kobe Bryant before, trying to destroy the chain defense system of the Rockets!
Old Nielsen used Durant as Kobe, as if he were a car with a mantis, but it is incredible that after playing the role of Kobe, Durant is no worse than Kobe, even a little stronger than Kobe !
Throughout the second quarter, Durant's stats were 12 out of 6, and his hit rate reached an astonishing 50%!
Even after removing the 2 shots from the previous 2 shots caused by surprise, the remaining 10 shots made 4 shots, it is definitely qualified!
Durant's highly qualified singles shooting percentage is most directly reflected in the scores of the two teams.
At the end of halftime, the score of the two teams was 64 to 60. You know, after the rotation of the two teams, the score of the two teams is 46!
That is to say, when the two teams did not test their opponents again, the Seattle SuperSonics still led the Rockets by 4 points away!
When the first half of the game ended, looking at the score of 64 to 60 on the sideline scoreboard of this game, many media reporters on the scene felt a bit magical like science fiction.
"Is this really a Seattle Supersonics game with the Houston Rockets ?!"
This is really incredible!
The Rockets are okay. The Rockets 'singles strength is known all over the world. The Rockets may have no average points per game this season. The Nuggets and Supersonics are high, but this has to be combined with the Rockets' pace of play.
The Rockets' game rhythm is definitely not as fast as that, but their score will never be much worse than the supersonic speed.
Compared with the fast-paced scores of the Sun Nuggets and Supersonics, most of the Rockets' scores are hard points!
What is a hard score?
No matter who the opponent is, what the opponent's defense is, you can get points.
The Rockets scored without any trace of brushing.
So it's no surprise that the Rockets faced the supersonics and scored 60 points in a singles halftime.
With this type of attack, they can average more than 110 points per game in the regular season.
The key is Seattle Supersonic!
In the face of the team that has been touted as the best defensive team in history, the Seattle Supersonics broke Artest with Yes in the first quarter, and the Durant unlimited singles Rockets team in the second quarter, actually scored 64 points in the half!
"Having 64 points lost at halftime is the Houston Rockets losing the most points in the playoffs!"
"It's not just the most points lost in the half. The Supersonics scored 32 points in the first and second quarters of this half. This is also the first time the Rockets have lost more than 30 points in a single quarter this season, and it's still twice! "
Barkley is excited now, and Kenny Smith beside him is amazed.
Kenny Smith is really admiring now, admiring the boldness of Old Nelson, how dare!
Not using Durant as Randolph, but using Durant as Kobe!
Similarly, Kenny Smith is now praising Durant's offensive strength.
What an offensive All-Star, Durant now has the level of an offensive superstar!
And it is not that kind of single attacking superstar, but that kind of kaleidoscope of attacking superstar!
Was this really the Durant who was mad at the beginning of the season and mocked?
"I have always said that KD is a very promising player. I just let him reach the level of his third grade in advance. Even without me, KD will have the same level after three years in the NBA."
"Yes is wrong, everything I give is given by Yes, without me there would be no me."
Recalling Yes and Durant's interview at the post-match press conference after Seattle's supersonic sweeping the sun, Kenny Smith didn't know what to say.
Durant now has the level he has played in the NBA for three years.
This Kenny Smith believes.
The training Durant got around Yes is incredible.
During the regular season, Durant made a total of nearly 2700 shots this season, and 99% of NBA players did not have 2700 shots in two seasons!
In the playoffs, Durant has played 11 games after playing the Nuggets and the Suns. Most players in the league will not have Durant's playoff games after two years. More importantly, Durant's 11 appearances in this playoff are not walks, but each game is still a training appearance that averages more than 30 shots per game!
Under the cramming of resources like Yes, any ordinary person can be a year or two!
Durant played for two years, and of course will enter the third year, so Yes said that Durant is now his third season strength is no problem.
The problem is, Yes said that Durant didn't meet him, and he had the level of offensive superstar in the third year.
Nothing can grow into an offensive superstar in three years without Yes Durant. Really when we haven't seen Durant playing the NBA in the first game?
And this is the third place Kenny Smith admired.
Yes is really selfless!
If it weren't for the foresight to train Durant crazy this season, the Seattle Supersonics are already dead!
"I didn't expect Yes to train not an All-Star offensive small forward who helped him play the Suns, but a superstar who helped him play rocket attacked small forwards!"
This is quite amazing!
Kenny Smith knew that it was definitely not just him who felt magical and incredible at this time.
The reporters from all over the world, the Rockets fans on the scene, and even the Houston Rockets who just left the stadium are all in an incredible state of Mongolia.
Including the Rockets' head coach Adelman and assistant coach Thibodeau.
When Durant can take on the role of Kobe well, the impact on this game and Yes is too great!
To put it simply, Durant can infinitely single all other Rockets players on the offensive end, then all other Rockets players on the defensive end have no way to concentrate the kind of dark cloud that is desperate to concentrate on Yes!
The goal of the Rockets' chain defensive wolf tactics is against Kobe, and now Kobe is Durant on the court!
Similarly, when Yes has less offensive pressure and Durant successfully shares Yes's offensive pressure, Yes can devote more energy to defensive end.
The Rockets' offense is still oppressing Yes. The energy saved by Yes on the offensive end is all invested on the defensive end, then the success rate of other Rockets players oppressing Yes is not so high!
"As long as the Houston Rockets play a chain-type defensive wolf tactics, the overall situation will always be controlled by the Rockets, but because the Seattle Supersonics has two 'Kobe's, Seattle Supersonics has the ability to change the situation! "
Although the situation is not dominant, it has the ability to control its own destiny!
"This game is incredible!"
It was only half a game, which gave Kenny Smith the feeling that the content of this half game was more content than the 12 games played by the Rockets and the Thunder and the Rockets and the Lakers!
Even now Kenneth Smith ca n’t wait to see the beginning of the third quarter.
"Coach Nielsen has taken the initiative to attack, and now it's Adelman's turn to pick up the move!"
Compared with D'Antoni, Adelman is certainly much more adaptable than D'Antoni, but Adelman is still the head coach of the team.
It ’s too few too few head coaches like Nielsen who can build teams and be present.
"Now Adelman's choice is whether he believes Durant's first half is short-lived and continues to target Yes, or give up against Yes and choose to target Durant!"
Kenny Smith is looking forward to what kind of choice Adelman will make when facing such a critical choice.
These two choices do not seem to have the correct answer to Kenny Smith.
In other words, the correct answer can only be known after the game is over.
Win, any choice is the correct answer.
Lost, any choice is the wrong answer!
The halftime break soon passed.
Kenny Smith also quickly saw Adelman's response to Old Nelson's move!
"Adelman did not give up targeting Yes!"
After the second half started, Kobe nodded slightly when he saw Yes was still being frantically targeted.
"Of course!"
Destroy Yes, this is a long-term plan!
If Durant gave up the plan only after half an outbreak, such a rocket could not destroy him!
In order to destroy him, the Rockets took the defeat of two games and insisted on a full five games!
After the start of the third quarter, Durant is still in crazy unlimited singles.
Watching Durant constantly looking for the Rockets' various goals in the third quarter, many reporters who had humiliated Durant on the scene were ashamed.
And many of the rookies who participated in the 2008 draft in front of the TV, this time the expression on their faces has been flushed with excitement!
The limit that Yes can break is not only all-stars, but also superstars!
An ordinary player like Durant can also be trained as an offensive superstar by Yes!
"Durant in this game looks like a tarantula on the offensive end. Everyone on the Rockets is the prey he wants to kill!"
After the start of the third quarter, Durant's unlimited singles 'lethality continued, and after Yies put more energy on the defensive end, the efficiency of the Rockets' singles also declined.
Of course, Durant's singles efficiency has not maintained 50%.
But the scores of the two teams are still stalemate and tend to pull apart.
By the end of the third quarter ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the score on the court has become 92 to 84, and the Seattle SuperSonics' lead has become 8 points!
In the fourth quarter, the Rockets continued to play offense as a substitute. It can be seen that Adelman and the Rockets intended to use the substitute to try to pull back the score.
But with 7 minutes left in the game, when the main teams of the two teams came back again, the Rockets' bench only pulled back 2 points.
In the end, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the scoreboard on the sidelines was 120 to 114!
"Houston Rockets lost their first game in three consecutive rounds!"
Watching the game on the TV Durant made 16 of 36 shots, 48 ​​points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist data. James Harden and many people in front of the TV and even many people in the Toyota Center had only one idea in mind.
"Yes is amazing!"
James Harden, squeezing his hands tightly, looked at the supersonic number nine surrounded by Durant on TV and finally made up his mind.
