The feud between Durant and Li Tian started in the NCAA and continued in the NBA.
Faced with Li Tian’s provocation, Durant showed no sign of weakness
"I am this year's best rookie, waiting to be beaten by me." He glared at Li Tian.
"It's not just words. It seems meaningless. It seems that I said the same thing in the last game, but the result..."
Strategically, we despise Durant, but tactically we cannot despise the enemy.
"Come on Li Tian!" Taylor stood up and waved his fist to encourage Li Tian.
Li Tian took a defensive posture and opened his arms to block Durant's breakthrough space.
Constantly changing the direction of dribbling, lowering the center of gravity, and after a few slow changes, suddenly changes the rhythm!
Adjusted the step point, "Durant is going to make a fake jump and make a real shot!"
The moment Durant collected the ball, his collection of the ball was not subtle enough. At this moment, Li Tian took action decisively.
"Beautiful! The steal! Li Tian's steal was too fast. Durant didn't react at all and was intercepted. The steal was too fast!" Director Zhang said after seeing Li Tian's steal.
After stealing the ball, he threw the ball to Stoudemire in front.
"You were intercepted again." He dropped the sentence and ran as fast as he could.
After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, he looked back at the position of the chasing player and saw Li Tian pointing at the backboard.
Stoudemire suddenly stopped and threw the ball high towards the backboard.
Li Tian jumped up and dunked directly to score.
"This dunk is so cool, it makes my blood boil." Yu Jia shouted loudly.
"Do you think Brother Tian has a chance to participate in the slam dunk contest?"
"Forget it about the slam dunk contest. There is still great hope for the three-point shooting contest."
After scoring the dunk, the fans cheered again.
"Wait and see." Durant received the baseline serve with an expressionless expression.
He came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Li Tian's defense, the death coil was very close to him. He knew that Durant's shooting was accurate, and Li Tian did not dare to give him room to take action!
SuperSonics forward Wilcox, seeing the struggle between the two, went directly to the high post to help Durant pick and roll!
Durant used a pick-and-roll from his teammates, and finally got rid of Li Tian's personal defense and hit a mid-range shot.
"Wow, Durant finally scored a goal. He played back and forth, so it looks good." Yu Jia became excited.
"You will be beaten by me, beaten to pieces, you know?" After Durant scored, he did not forget to challenge Li Tian.
Looking at the excited Durant, Li Tian smiled, this is the rhythm to continue.
Stoudemire once again held the ball past halftime, and Wilcox and Gasol continued to fight in the paint, competing for position.
Wilkins, who was defending Gay, also stayed close to Gay and did not give Gay any chance to catch the ball.
Li Tian knew that Durant provoked him in the hope that Li Tian would take the initiative to attack. How could he be fooled so easily?
Came to the frontcourt to help Stoudemire initiate the pick-and-roll.
Stoudemire broke free from the defense and finally broke through to the basket. Watson was worried that Li Tian would be open again and did not dare to chase Stoudemire. The latter made a layup.
"Your pick-and-roll is great!" He gave a high-five to celebrate.
"Your breakthrough is also great."
Durant, who had just hit a mid-range shot, has regained his confidence.
The Sonics players saw Durant's recovery and opened up space to create offensive opportunities for Durant.
Wilkins on the strong side took away the defender in front of him, covering Green to the high post to help Durant pick and roll.
Green blocked Li Tian in front of him, and Durant broke through to the basket.
Li Tian, who was blocked by Green, turned around, got rid of Green, and quickly rushed towards Durant, who was about to lay up.
He spotted Durant's layup, took a quick step, came behind Durant, and jumped.
He nailed Durant's layup to the backboard.
"Wow, he's so handsome. With this block, I declare that I'm starting to fan Li Tian."
"This speed, this bullet speed, it feels like there is a shadow of Jordan."
"Li, that's great." Waving his hands, Taylor looked a bit like a big star at this time, and she was simply Li Tian's little fangirl.
With the rebound in hand, the Sonics players saw this and quickly returned to defense.
Stoudemire, who received Li Tian's pass, saw that he had lost the opportunity for a fast break and slowly advanced, waiting for Li Tian to come back.
Li Tian landed at a 45-degree position on the right, and Wilkins defended Li Tian head-on.
Gay lurked in the right corner, and Wilcox circled around the left basket to defend Gasol.
Miller shook off the defender and suddenly came to the top line to help Stoudemire block the defender.
Gay in the bottom corner lifted up at the same time, blocking Li Tian's defender.
When Stoudemire broke through the basket, Li Tian also quickly reached the basket.
When Durant saw the two of them hitting the basket at the same time, he was a little hesitant, not knowing who to cover. However, he was dominated by the block just now, and he must not give Li Tian a chance to score.
When Durant hesitated, Stoudemire threw the basketball high.
The owner, Jordan's jumping and explosive power, coupled with his own height, suddenly took off.
Because of Durant's hesitation, he missed the best opportunity to defend. When Li Tian took off, Durant had not yet reached the position to defend.
Wilcox was blocked by Gasol and could not come over.
Li Tian received the ball with his right hand and immediately made a tomahawk chop gesture, blocking Durant's take-off with his left hand.
Li Tian took off with all his strength and completed a flat-frame dunk.
Durant is once again in the background.
The audience who had just finished celebrating Li Tian's shot had not yet had time to sit down.
Some fans who had just picked up their drinks and had not had a chance to take a sip had their mouths wide open and their eyes filled with shock, regardless of believing what they saw.
The next moment, the audience once again let out even stronger exclamations, and everyone danced excitedly and kept waving their hands in celebration.
"Beep!"
The referee in the bottom corner blew his whistle and gestured for Durant to block and add a penalty.
Looking around the court, the referee had no choice but to blow the whistle again.
The referee pointed to the sideline and the game was paused.
After the cheering audience fell silent, they discovered that most of the people who had just picked up their drinks had spilled their drinks and were apologizing from side to side.
"Li Tian's dunk was great. He dunked Durant." The excited director Zhang suddenly jumped up, showing no signs of his usual poise.
"Director Zhang, stay calm and calm. You will do it more often in the future. However, this dunk was so outrageous that the game was suspended. The spectators on the sidelines spilled their drinks into the court." Yu Jia signaled to Director Zhang to calm down.
"The guy who said just now that Li Tian can't participate in the slam dunk contest comes out, we promise not to whip the corpse!"
"I feel like I'm in love."
"I feel a little sympathy for Durant. Is he sent by God to help Li Tian? Look, he gave Tian a steal, a block, a shot, and finally a riding buckle."
...
The game was suspended for a while and then started again.
"Li, you have to be more careful next time and be careful of their little moves." Gasol did not forget to remind Li Tian.
"I will." Li Tian also knew that he had to restrain himself.
Extra penalty hit.
When the score reached 12-30 points, Li Tian's wave of attacks completely opened the score.
In the rest of the first quarter, Durant also increased his scoring with the help of his teammates.
But it failed to help the team close the score.
At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 20-37.
