1511. Why are you so useless?(2/2)
Although there are few opportunities for big gaps in this time and space, when he received the ball, his opponent had just rushed to defend him, but before he could close up to make up for the height gap, Durant had already made a shooting move.
Already.
This is the little difference Paul brought, allowing Durant to enjoy better shooting opportunities from the beginning of his career.
Better shooting opportunities mean more accurate shooting. The more accurate the shooting, the more confident and daring you will be to shoot, and the training effect will be better demonstrated!
In this way, although there is less pressure to carry the team forward alone, Durant... he doesn't like that much pressure and doesn't like to carry the team on his own. This makes Durant's progress
It's faster than the original time and space. In the original time and space, Durant was selected as an All-Star substitute for the first time in his third year. His three-point shooting percentage in his rookie season was 28%. However, playing with Paul, Durant has hit three-pointers so far.
The shooting rate is 33%, which is much better, and the number of three-point shots is more than before. Because of the influence of Liu Mang, the Hornets have trained Durant more in the three-point aspect.
It's just that Durant's current shooting ability is indeed very poor. Of course, compared to his peak, he is so strong that it makes people fascinated. The most important thing is that Durant's mentality seems to be about to collapse!
But Liu Mang also felt the difference in the star cards of Durant and Curry in their first peak period!
Curry is a skilled player. Relying on his strong ability to create space outside the three-point line, he can shoot the ball with opportunities that may not seem like opportunities to others. But this is just not an opportunity for others. In Curry's eyes, there is a chance.
Then a little gap is already an opportunity, similar to Kobe's feeling, except that Curry's shooting is more accurate.
But Durant is different. Durant has a domineering feeling inside and out!
horizontal!
Too outrageous!
Durant's height is too advantageous for a player who can play small forward and shooting guard. His ability to shoot anytime and anywhere gives Durant's offense a sense of extreme horizontality.
Liu Mang relied on the effect of the star card to have similar abilities. Although the ability bonus was weakened, the characteristics were the same.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the defense is tight, Liu Mang will cut in and go straight to the basket. If the defense is not so tight, Liu Mang will use the rush to directly pull up, and the efficiency is very high!
But Liu Mang's side was rough, and Durant's side was even worse...
Hornets head coach Byron Scott is also a strange coach. He may have played with Magic, James Worthy, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, Kobe and other superstars for too long. He himself also played with Jordan in the Finals.
He scored so many points and almost won the Finals MVP in 1988. He felt that talented people should be put under pressure, so he asked Durant to guard Liu Mang for half a quarter without calling a timeout.
In these six and a half minutes, Liu Mang made 5 of 7, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and 13 points in the half quarter...
The official timeout came when Durant threw a dead ball, and the referee called the official timeout!
Entering the official timeout, Liu Mang looked at Durant, whose eyes were a little dull, worried that he had spoiled this guy!
"Kevin." Liu Mang called Durant.
"Ah?" Durant raised his head in confusion.
terrible!
In the past five minutes, Durant has felt unprecedented fear.
There is no way to defend him! Durant never thought that there would be such a player in the world. He would not feel so scary when facing Kobe. His wingspan is very effective when defending Kobe.
In fact, if it was normal, Durant would be very effective if he used his wingspan to interfere with Liu Mang's shooting, but he couldn't stop Liu Mang from using Durant's star card to deal with Durant. He knew Durant's defensive habits very well.
Therefore, Liu Mang's tyranny made Durant's little heart explode.
Seeing how Durant could not be as ferocious as the God of Death, Liu Mang felt that it was not possible! Don't let this nail get crippled by playing with it!
Liu Mang said 'hmm' and said: "Kevin, you are weaker than I thought. I used your fighting style to deal with you, why are you so useless!"
"Ah? My style of play?" Durant didn't even notice that Liu Mang's style of play was the same as his!
Liu Mang reminded him before he reacted!
Liu Mang's shooting method just now was the same as his. He shot before he could get close to him immediately! If he got close to him, he would cut in!
Seeing Liu Mang turn around and leave, Durant became fascinated and excited!
