Durant and Oden participated in the draft in the same year, and they were both extremely talented.

But the magical thing is that the skill points and life experiences of the two are completely different.

Oden is a "orthodox" genius.

Whether it is static talent or dynamic talent, he is almost perfect.

Many people regard him as the most dominant center after O'Neal, who is one of the geniuses that have happened once in a fifty years.

In the rookie physical test, Oden's data is better than Durant.

From the strength of inside players, to the bounce of forward players, to the speed of outside players...

For every item, Oden is the better one.

At that time, Durant couldn't even do a bench press.

This is why the Trail Blazers put the KD in NCAA and did not choose the KD who played historical performance, and chose Oden, who had hidden dangers of injury.

But Durant has his talent as a "unicorn".

He has been with basketball since he was a child, and he has a lot of skills in dribbling, shooting, and other skills. He has become very mature before he entered the NBA.

He is tall and has long arms, and has top static talents among forward players, and his bounce and explosive power are above average.

His score is like taking a pouch, and he is a natural scoring machine...

These unique talents allow Durant to become the best player on the court despite poor physical condition.

Simply put, Oden and KD are like two sides of a coin.

Their talents are completely different, but they are just as excellent when they first entered NBA.

But the draft also became a watershed between the two.

Oden joined the Trail Blazers, the young guards who owned Roy and Aldridge; while Durant went to the supersonics that were in a mess.

The former must start with blue-collar workers and assists, while the latter has become the core of the team from the beginning and has unlimited firepower.

One season later, Oden began to be frequently affected by injuries, while Durant successfully leveled up and started his path to super giants.

At this point, the two people's life trajectories are developing in different directions, one is upward and the other is downward, and it seems that there will be no intersection again.

Until...the man appears!

Shen Fei's emergence gave Oden's career a turning point.

Now, the Emperor who has recovered his health has once again got the opportunity to compete with Durant.

It is worth mentioning that after Oden made a comeback not long ago and showed good physical condition, the media immediately began to discuss - if the 2007 draft re-arrangement, who is the No. 1 pick?

This topic has caused widespread discussion.

But surprisingly, even though Durant averaged 30 points per game last year and was selected as the All-Star, many people still think...

If you choose again, Oden will still be the No. 1 pick.

The discussion this time was very hot, and many professional football reviews and retired celebrities participated.

Durant, who loves surfing online, accidentally saw this information.

Therefore, long before the game began, he decided to end the discussion with an extreme personal performance.

Today, the two of them had many eye contacts since the third quarter.

Whether it is Oden or Durant, they can see a strong fighting spirit in the other party's eyes.

............

The rest of the third quarter became a confrontation between the two.

Oden rages inside the Thunder.

Even though Ibaka, who is defending him, has shown his potential to defend the gate in past games.

Oden's scoring method is very simple and crude - you, Ibaka, can jump, but I use my strength to crush you into the three-second zone, and then use confrontation to make you unable to jump. How can you defend yourself?

Seeing the Emperor "ravaca" like cutting melons and vegetables, Brooks on the coach's seat, Presti in the stands, all had an urgent idea: a big center must be introduced!

No matter how good Ibaka is in good health, she is essentially just a power forward.

He is very strong in the inside team, but when he meets a dominant center, he seems powerless.

Fortunately, although the Thunder's defense is not strong, they still rely on their fierce offensive firepower to tighten the gap.

In the third quarter, Durant staged a drama of "death comes".

Because of Westbrook and Harden's existence, the Rockets dare not attack KD and always adopt a single defense strategy.

But neither Danny Green nor Tony Allen, who came on as a substitute, could stop Durant's pace.

KD not only listens to the coach's advice, increases off-ball offense, but also can decisively hold the ball and play singles at the right time.

Every time Tony Allen is about to apply him to his body, Durant can always cleverly avoid it, using a method of making a big move, either scoring or assisting.

When Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, saw KD's performance, his sense of crisis increased a lot.

[In this time and space, Durant and Harden evolved faster.]

[If this continues, no matter how stupid the detonator is or how stingy it is, I am afraid that I will try my best to keep the third one.]

He thought in his heart.

In his previous life, Shen Fei often played 2k (an NBA game). In the dynasty mode, Thunder without team demolition basically established dynasties and became the strongest existence.

Now, this situation seems to be happening in reality.

However, after a brief surprise, Shen Fei's sense of crisis was gradually replaced by excitement.

After all, with a foreseeable strong opponent, you won’t be bored in the next few years!

............

The two teams' offensive continued until the fourth quarter.

In the last three minutes, the score reached 115:113, and the Rockets were only two points ahead.

After a timeout, both sides sent their strongest lineups and the game entered the final decisive battle.

The Rockets played: Jeremy Lin, Roy, Tony Allen, Tucker, and Oden;

The Thunder are: Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Jeff Green, and Ibaka.

The game started again and the Rockets served in the backcourt.

After Shuhao took the ball through the half, he handed the ball to Roy.

At the last moment of the game, most NBA teams are doing it, handing the ball to the Ace, and the Rockets are the same.

After Roy got the ball, he met Harden's defense.

I saw him dribbling the ball under his crotch and handing it to his left hand, then an in&out swing.

Roy's movements are not fast, but the pace is very good.

However, Harden has always remained in the defensive position through small steps this time.

If the plan failed, Roy did not rush to attack, but took two steps back and signaled his teammates to pick-and-roll.

Tucker arrived and used a strong cover to block Harden, and Roy got rid of the defense.

Jeff Green, who came out with the Shoe King, is a fast-paced inside player.

He switched defense with Harden as soon as possible, blocking Roy's path forward.

However, Huang Mamba suddenly lowered the center of gravity, and an acceleration passed by Jeff Green.

After rushing to the inside, Roy rushed to the basket before Ibaka made up the spot and sent the ball into the basket with a throw.

117:113, the Rockets lead by four points!

After the offense and defense transition, Westbrook forced a breakthrough and rushed into the inside line "carrying the explosive pack".

Oden and Tucker hurriedly contracted and prepared to protect the basket.

In a flash, Westbrook suddenly split the ball, and Harden received the ball in the open space on the outside.

Tony Allen showed his terrifying horizontal movement speed and arrived.

However, Harden did not rush to take action, but calmly passed the ball to Durant on the side.

Now, even Teacher Tony doesn't have time to return to the defensive position.

Durant made a stubborn three-pointer with a steadily.

117:116, the score difference is only one point.

On the way back to defense, Durant spoke: "I'll defend Brandon!"

Harden nodded when he heard this, but did not refuse.

Soon, Roy received a pass from the outside and signaled to play a single.

Facing Durant's defense, Huang Mamba chose to use it to make a breakthrough.
