Chapter 15: Durant

　　Finishing the graduation trip, Li Liang went to the gym to practice his strength for an hour at night.
　　Not only maintains his physical condition, but also makes him sleep better at night. He can enter the [Almighty King] system earlier and continue his leveling journey.
　　Early go to bed early, Li Liang came to the main interface of [Almighty King].
　　 saw his six-dimensional map at a glance, [offensive ability] because of the improvement of the three-point level, a slight improvement.
　　【Physical quality】The column also slightly increased.
　　Li Liang thinks that if he doesn't train for a long time and doesn't play, his ability value is estimated to decline.
　　 It seems that the usual exercise should not be less, when it is time to travel to bring the basketball.
　　 There are basketball courts all over the United States, so he has to practice to stay in his free time.
　　After improving his ability to open up three-pointers, Li Liang thought that 75's three-pointers were enough for the time being.
　　 Without this system, it is estimated that if you practice for a lifetime, you can't break the 70 threshold.
　　Efforts can improve ability, but everyone's ability has a limit.
　　 [Almighty King] The biggest significance is that it allows you to break through the upper limit through effort, so that the effort becomes more meaningful.
　　According to his own plan, Li Liang chose the [Defensive Ability] this time.
　　 thought, opened the specific interface of defensive ability.
　　 [Name: Bruce Lee, height 6 feet 8 inches 7, weight 229 pounds] (2 pounds longer)
　　 [Dimension 3: Defensive Ability]
　　【Basic outside defense: 31/100】
　　【Horizontal movement: 33/100】
　　【Attach/follow defense: 31/100】
　　 [Steal: 15/100]
　　【Defense position and prediction: 41/100】
　　【Basic defense inside: 17:/100】
　　【Low top defense: 20/100】
　　【High-level defense: 11/100】
　　【Weak side supplementary defense: 8/100】
　　【Defensive rebound: 31/100】
　　【Cover: 9/100】
　　【Special Skills: None】
　　【Comprehensive evaluation: E grade】
　　Li Liang looked at his only E-level evaluation, sighed softly, and it was still garbage.
Li Liang thought about it for himself. Players like E-class are basically missed from the NBA, D-class belongs to the NBA marginalist, C-class belongs to the drinking fountain and the end of the bench, B-level is the role player and team rotation, and A-level is the team's main With the main rotation, S is the All-Star level, SS needless to say, it must be a superstar.
　　I am now in the E-level, and I want to continue to climb up, really has a long way to go.
　　 However, Li Liang is still full of confidence in himself. He believes in his willpower and persistent pursuit of victory.
　　Li Liang directly chose the promotion task of [Outside Defense].
　　 This is definitely a relatively comprehensive improvement of the defense. First get your comprehensive ability, and then the special exercises slowly.
　　 After selection, Li Liang entered the mission:
[Task: Contain Durant's first show, time: October 31, 2007, location: Pepsi Center, Denver, USA, against: Seattle Supersonics vs Denver Nuggets, task requirements: counter rookie Kevin Durant , So that his score does not exceed 15 points, task reward: basic defensive ability value +5, various outside defensive ability value +2, a random ability value-added agent, task difficulty: rookie]
　　Li Liang looked at it, this rookie-level task is not too difficult, and there are not many points added, but there are random ability value-added agents in the reward, can it directly improve the ability value?
　　 This is a good thing.
　　Thinking of this, Li Liang was very motivated and decided to complete this task well to see what kind of ability value-added agent he could draw.
　　 entered the mission, and the surroundings lit up.
　　 This is a game in 2007, not far away from 2012, is the first appearance of Kevin Durant in the NBA.
　　Li Liang was impressed with the game. He was still in high school in China at the time, knowing that the 2007 rookie had an Oden and a Durant.
　　 At that time, Oden was blown out of the sky, punched Russell, kicked the big shark, high-end version of Tim Duncan.
　　 So, the Blazers chose the former from Oden and Durant based on the principle of inside selection.
　　As a result, Oden was injured one after another, and was eventually abolished.
　　 And Durant gradually grew and became a super scorer in the league.
　　As of 2012, Durant has won the NBA scoring title for two consecutive seasons and continues to lead the scoring list this season.
　　After missing the Jordan in 1984, the Portland Trail Blazers also missed an outside superstar and chose an injured insider. What a terrible word.
　　 They fell in the same place, climbed up, and then fell again.
　　Li Liang is facing today, it is the fledgling, 19th future scoring leader.
　　 At this time, Li Liang was wearing a white Denver Nuggets jersey standing on the floor of the Pepsi Center.
　　 In the history of this game, Li Liang watched the live broadcast, and secretly turned on the computer when he went home for dinner at noon.
　　He remembers clearly that Durant scored 18 points in the game and his shooting percentage was not high.
　　 It seems that it is not difficult to suppress him at 15 points, just one less three points is enough.
　　 But Li Liang knew that this system would not necessarily follow the script.
　　 He appeared as a substitute for the Nuggets' small forward Yasuba Diawara. If it is not good defense, Durant opens, and the score may exceed 18 points.
　　The team of the Nuggets Li Liang still knows something.
　　Big Birds and Beasts, the head coach George Karl never emphasized offense in the Nuggets, and did not practice defense very much, so he cannot count on his teammates, he must go all out to defend himself.
　　As for the offense, Li Liang thought, anyway, he didn't say he wanted to win, it doesn't matter if he didn't attack?
　　 But it was wrong to think, if the offense is unfavorable, will it be replaced by the coach?
　　 In short, the game is about to start soon.
　　Li Liang looked around, all familiar faces.
In addition to him, the Nuggets started with Allen Iverson, Cameron Anthony, Kenyon Martin, and Marcus Camby who jumped in the middle.
　　Li Liang was a little excited in his heart. After all, the first two tasks, one was too old, and the other was a three-point contest.
　　 Today's game mission is really what allows Li Liang to experience the NBA field.
　　 Especially saw star players like Iverson and Anthony and their teammates.
　　Although it is simulated, it is much more realistic than computer games, and it can also communicate with teammates.
　　 Opposite, wearing a dark green jersey is the Supersonics, a team that no longer exists.
Their centers are Wilcox, power forward Collison, small forward Damien Wilkins, point guard Earl Watson, and today's protagonist Li Liang, Kevin -Durant.
　　 In 2007, Durant was only 19 years old. He was originally skinny, like a stalk, and also looks more cumbersome. His small eyes and square face were standing on the floor of the Pepsi Center, just like a child more than 2 meters.
　　 He is the same height as Li Liang, 6 feet 9 and scary with long arms, but also scary and thin.
　　 6 feet 9 height is estimated to weigh only 200 pounds.
　　Li Liang wondered if he would break up if he was hit by Anthony or Martin.
　　 Of course, Li Liang himself is not strong. The weight of 229 pounds is thin in the NBA. As for whether he can deal with rookie Durant, Li Liang has no bottom at the moment. In short, the mule is on the court.
　　 The game started, Camby won the ball and the Nuggets took the lead in attacking.
　　Li Liang has never practiced with the Nuggets, nor has he played with Iverson and Anthony.
　　 But he knew that his role on the field was a blue collar. Anyway, he ran to the wing and stayed. There were two big brothers with gold double guns on the front, so he didn't need him.
　　Li Liang's idea is not wrong. As soon as Iverson took the ball through the half, Li Liang went straight to the left corner.
　　 This is his favorite position. In the three-point training, the bottom left corner is his most accurate point.
Iverson controlled the ball, the supersonic opening basically had no defensive strength. The five people were standing on the field and showed a scattered distribution. Iverson held the ball at random and shoved the supersonic defense line three or two times to split the ball. Kenyon Martin, who came over the bottom line, was turned over and made a stiff little throw to make two points.
　　The Nuggets scored the first goal.
　　Li Liang knew that he didn't want to win the Supersonics this season, he just used it to practice Durant, and by the way he took the high show.
　　 For Durant, the supersonics released the former twins Ray Allen and Lewis, which can be said to be unbreakable.
　　Offense and defense conversion, Li Liang knows that his job is coming.
　　 He didn't say a word, first posted as a tribute, UU reading books www.uukanshu.com do not have the ball or not, first lean on Durant.
　　 Durant glanced at Li Liang and didn't seem to understand why this guy stared so tightly at the opening.
　　During the first two rounds, Durant didn't catch the ball, and the Nuggets and the Supersonics played well with you.
　　Anyway, neither side is defensive, and they are all pushing forward to fight back quickly, but the first game of the season is tight and the shooting rate is not high.
　　Li Liang ran for two rounds and found it unrealistic to want to follow Durant all the time.
　　I don't have enough speed, and I don't have enough skills to guard against it. Durant's ability to get rid of it is very strong. Don't look at the height and abnormal sensitivity.
　　Li Liang's concentration is highly concentrated, but he will still be pulled away by Durant's random run.
　　 "This is the difference in talent..."
　　Li Liang and rookie Durant counterpoint for two minutes, and feel the difference in talent.
　　 If people lift weight lightly, he is mentally and unconsciously tired.
　　 Once again, the Nuggets failed to attack, the supersonic counterattack, Durant suddenly took long legs to accelerate to get rid of Li Liang, and then rushed to the basket!
　　 Facing Kenyon Martin, Durant made a stepped layup and Martin couldn't make up the defense and could only foul.
　　Gently pushed, Martin put Durant out of the bottom line and fell a big heel.
　　 This kid's strength and weight are not good, but these can be practiced.
　　 He just had the ability to get rid of speed and dribble two big steps directly after catching the ball, but ordinary players can't practice it.
　　 Durant stood on the free throw line and made two free throws to get his first point into the NBA.
　　 While Li Liang stood aside, Martin came and said, "Don't lose those who are optimistic about you."
　　Li Liang nodded, thinking about how to deal with Durant.
