I am so Accurate

It was like a bullet going straight through his heart.

Durant felt distressed for a moment, and then stopped breathing.

It turns out you are such an idol!

You even encouraged me before the game, saying Ariza couldn't guard me!

It hasn’t been long since the fight, and you’re asking Ariza to defend me to death?

You have to know that physical confrontation is his biggest weakness now!

Sun Hao didn't notice Durant's gaze.

Even if he notices it, he won't change his approach.

He said that he asked Ariza not to make dangerous moves against Durant. That was his protection for Durant, and it can also be understood as his preference after being warmed up before.

But if you want to say that he really let Ariza's defense go, that's nonsense.

Because if you do that, it may seem like preference, but in fact it is doting, which will do no harm to Durant.

On the contrary, what he wants Ariza to do is what he just said, give Durant a physical confrontation and try his best to defend.

Because in a regular season, even in the NBA opener, good or bad performance is not the most critical to a No. 1 pick.

The most important thing is what he can gain in the first game of his career.

Therefore, instead of "spoiling" his teammates by letting him go, Durant can deeply understand his current weaknesses and make targeted improvements later in the season. That is the real preference!

Or to put it more bluntly, Ariza is now the first whetstone for Durant to sharpen the "Scythe of Death"!

Durant...of course can't understand.

If he could understand this, then he wouldn't be Durant.

After hearing that Sun Hao was targeting him in this way, he felt more unconvinced.

Yes, he is not convinced!

Sun Hao would never be like this to James!

Even if James said he wanted to defeat Sun Hao and take back his nickname of "Little Emperor", Sun Hao would laugh it off!

How could he let his teammates point at his weaknesses like today?

Is it because in Sun Hao's eyes, James is more talented than him?

Or is it because James knew Sun Hao earlier than him?

In just a short moment, he was already thinking about everything.

At the end, he looked up at Sun Hao with sharp eyes:

No, you are wrong, Brother Hao!

I will prove to you that I am better than James!

Even though James knew you earlier than I did.

but! !

I am your best disciple!

…

Sun Hao didn't know about Durant's brainstorming.

If he knew, he would definitely be silent for a while, and then sum up: poisonous!

Normal people don’t have this kind of thinking, right?

In the Lakers' offense, Posey received Sun Hao's pass and shot a three-pointer from the outside.

But this time when he took a shot, Durant quickly came back to help defend, and his long arms interfered with his shooting vision.

"Dang!"

His second three-point attempt fell short.

Old Nelson's frown relaxed.

Fortunately, Durant did not disappoint him!

In this period, Durant has a strong presence on both offense and defense, worthy of his No. 1 pick status.

Ben protected the defensive rebound, Durant reached the front and caught the ball again, and Ariza directly engaged in physical confrontation.

Although Ariza is worse than Posey in terms of physical fitness and defensive aggressiveness, after all, his body has been tempered by the NBA for several years.

Durant clearly felt uncomfortable.

He tried his best to get rid of Ariza's interference, but before he could turn around, Ariza gave him a high-intensity confrontation, and his turn shot this time was obviously a bit wide.

"Dang!"

The ball finally hit the frame and his scoring streak was interrupted.

O'Neal collected another defensive rebound.

And in the next round, he turned inside and missed the hook shot, but he took off the second offensive rebound and dunked directly!

"Shaq must have lost weight!"

Barkley finally understood at this time.

Because O'Neal's weight base is too large and his weight loss method is relatively gentle, you can't actually see any changes in his body shape even if you look carefully.

However, O'Neal's offense in this round just now will not lie.

That kind of flexible movement and reaction speed, O'Neal absolutely couldn't do it last season!

So the only explanation is that O'Neal lost weight!

Smith on the side also nodded.

Not only on the offensive end, O'Neal's performance on the defensive end in the opening game was also obviously better than last season.

Before, they all wondered why O'Neal suddenly had a second youth. Losing weight was the most reasonable explanation.

“But why is this guy willing to lose weight?”

Buckley then asked the question of the century.

Because even the Lakers players don't know about this problem.

Smith also shook his head.

For this kind of thing, you can only ask O'Neal in person after the game.

The game on the field continues.

Durant once again caught the ball without the ball, but after Ariza's physical confrontation, he obviously didn't have a good shot.

In the end, he had no choice but to give the ball back to Calderon.

Once he was interfered with and missed, and another was forced to pass.

After Ariza provided high-intensity physical confrontation, Durant's score was frozen.

Old Nelson reached out and touched his chin, his eyes moving left and right as he thought.

Core strength and physical confrontation are indeed Durant's biggest problems now.

The Warriors have actually been working on strengthening this area in the summer.

But this thing is more troublesome than losing weight.

Because the improvement of core strength does not mean that you just add some weight, it requires long-term training.

Like Sun Hao, he was able to practice by doubling the time in the system.

Now he has no better way and can only rely on Durant to adapt.

And Ariza's defense is good enough, so he should be Durant's whetstone!

At this point, the master and apprentice pair, Old Nelson and Sun Hao, thought of getting together.

At this time, Ariza looked at Sun Hao with eyes filled with gratitude.

Sun Hao, let him regain his glory!

Durant looked autistic.

He originally wanted to prove that he was Sun Hao's best disciple, but the past two rounds proved that his current physical confrontation is indeed poor.

Are you just giving up?

No, he won't!

The two slaps his mother gave him had already woken him up.

When it comes to basketball, he will never give up easily again!

The game on the court continues, and the Lakers' offensive continues unabated.

Although Durant on the Warriors' side didn't get another shot, his movement contained the Lakers' defense, and Jamison seized the opportunity to score consecutively.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score on the court was 21 to 12.

The Lakers have a considerable advantage, but the continuous performance of Durant and Jamison allowed the Warriors to temporarily stabilize their position.

At this time, there was a substitution on the sidelines, and Mourning came on to replace O'Neal.

Although weight loss has had some effects and allowed O'Neal to regain some flexibility, he is still very heavy and needs to control his playing time.

Modern medicine is advanced, and Phil Jackson already knows some things from the team doctor.

If O'Neal can lose 10kg, his playing time can be increased by about 5 minutes without increasing the risk of injury.

But now O'Neal is still a long way from that goal.

Durant continued to run and contain the Warriors' offense.

Being thin also has its benefits, as running without the ball consumes relatively less physical energy.

After playing for half a quarter, Durant still looked very energetic.

And this time he didn't move out blindly. Instead, after moving out on the pick-and-roll, he suddenly made a reverse cut back to the basket.

Calderon saw the right moment and hit a powerful through ball.

Durant jumped up immediately after catching the ball.

"Bang!"

A light two-handed dunk.

Durant contributed the first dunk of his career, which was also his 8th point in the first quarter!

This ball also reflects the impact of O'Neal's absence on the Lakers.

Mourning's defensive ability is better than O'Neal last season.

But O'Neal's defense has improved this season, and Mourning is another year older.

In comparison, his defensive ability is weaker than O'Neal.

And his footwork has slowed down with age.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is facing off against Big Ben.

Everything is afraid of having a reference.

Big Ben's strong body has limited effect in front of O'Neal, but it is different in front of the old Mourning.

That card position was so blocked that Mourning couldn't get through.

Posey's breakthrough layup was blocked by Ben.

He has a strong desire to attack and has a certain breakthrough ability, but it is not easy to score under the basket guarded by Ben.

Looking back, Durant cut to the basket again.

This time Walker had to shrink in advance.

It's just that although he prevented Durant from scoring, he still paid a foul!

Durant stepped to the free throw line, took a breath, and made one of two free throws.

His score in this quarter reached 10 points!

Sun Hao looked at Durant at this time... full of admiration!

The core strength cannot be changed by Durant for a while, but what Durant can change is his offensive method.

He did, and he made the right choice.

Physical confrontation is not good, then avoid physical confrontation!

The best way to avoid physical confrontation is to hold the ball less, or even not hold the ball at all!

In particular, Durant also seized on the fact that the Lakers' internal defense became weaker when O'Neal was off the court.

Who would have thought that Durant, with such a low emotional intelligence, would have such a high football intelligence! !

Durant kept his peripheral vision on Sun Hao, and he immediately caught Sun Hao's gaze.

In just a moment, his broken heart healed.

Sun Hao finally recognized him!

All his efforts were worth it!

At this moment, another villain appeared in his mind, encouraging him:

Come on, Kevin!

you can!

One day, Sun Hao will transfer his preference for James to you!

…

With 10 points in a single quarter, Durant's debut performance was better than many people expected, and much better.

Especially this kind of performance, which was achieved in a game against the Lakers, is definitely outstanding.

Moreover, he still performed well in the last three quarters of the game.

He finally made 10 of 22 shots and scored a Warriors-high 25 points, plus 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

A nearly perfect debut, even comparable to the original James.

The only fly in the ointment was that the Warriors lost to the Lakers 91-106.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

It can be seen from the first quarter of the game between the two sides that the Lakers have made more preparations this season than in the past two seasons.

There is also the performance of Big Ben.

Ben had only 5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the game.

O'Neal's statistics against him were 22 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks.

"Big Ben can guard O'Neal" itself is a misunderstanding.

This game clearly reflects this.

Without the Pistons' defensive system, Ben had little power to resist O'Neal.

The biggest signing of the summer was suppressed and unable to perform, so it was expected that the Warriors would lose.

In O'Neal's second spring, Durant made a great debut, but the one who attracted the most attention was Sun Hao.

Although he clocked out of get off work after three quarters, he spent the entire last quarter chatting and drinking wolfberry.

But he still scored a game-high 30 points, plus 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals!

What's even more terrifying is that he only took 18 shots to complete this score!

This kind of performance is already very Jordan-like!

In the handshake ceremony after the game, Sun Hao reached out and touched Durant's head several times.

Durant felt inspired. During the game, Sun Hao told Ariza to defend him. The depression of losing the game was all forgotten by him.

Sun Hao also showed his preference for Durant in the post-game press conference.

“We all know how good Trevor’s defense is and it’s going to be difficult for any player to score against him.

But Kevin stood the test and proved that scoring is a no-brainer for him. "

When reporters asked Sun Hao to comment on Durant's debut performance, he said this.

"He is the most talented scorer I have ever seen, but he needs to improve his core strength and confrontation, and practice more on his ball-handling ability. I believe that one day, he will become as good a player as LeBron. .”

When reporters compared Durant with James, Sun Hao did not hesitate to praise him.

"So does he have a chance to be as good as you?"

"Of course, he has a chance."

When the reporter couldn't help but ask, Sun Hao's answer was once again surprising.

This wave of interviews filled the conversation after the game.

In addition to discussing the excellent state of the Lakers and Durant's slap in the face in his debut, fans also have Sun Hao's attitude!

"I have never seen Sun speak so highly of a newcomer. He has never spoken so highly of LeBron or Melo!"

"The key is this is just one game, this is Chi Guoguo's preference!"

"Don't tell me, Sun said this. I think Durant is an almost perfect player except that he looks a bit like a migrant worker."

"+1, I don't think anyone can guard against his pull-up jump shot."

"+2, his ability to score without the ball is also perfect. The key is that he plays very smartly!"

…

After Durant finished the game and interviewed the media, he went directly back to the hotel to take a shower and rest.

He wasn't a big fan of nightlife, especially in Los Angeles, which was too noisy for him.

Compared to that, he still prefers to lie in bed, take out his mobile phone, and see what the fans say about him after the game.

Then, log in to a trumpet or something.

But this time, he saw what Sun Hao said during the interview.

He was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up from the bed!

After the game was over, Sun Hao said to the media, "Kevin has withstood the test."

He finally discovered that Sun Hao asked Ariza to fight him physically as a test for him! !
