495: Almost defeated Adu in the first quarter(4/5)

Roy's score helped the Thunder save a little face.

But soon, Li Ang pulled one on Durant's head.

Adu is not only poor at the offensive end, but his defensive abilities are also far from being developed.

An emergency stop after Li Ang's breakthrough could throw Adu away by half his body.

Of course, Adu eventually interfered with Li Ang due to his height and wingspan.

But Li Ang himself has high mid-range shooting attributes, and with the blessing of McGrady's badge, it is not difficult to score goals with this little interference.

Moreover, Li Ang's own touch today was very good.

After all, he got up at four in the morning to prepare to beat Adu.

6 to 2, Li Ang has already scored 6 points and Adu has not yet started.

Li Ang thought, maybe today there is a chance to surpass Adu in scoring by 20 points!

In the next few rounds, Durant struggled particularly offensively.

Adu, who has not yet developed the ability to attack with the ball, is far from perfect. Not to mention Li Ang, even Artest, who is responsible for serving tea and pouring water, can guard Adu.

In the 10-year playoffs in original history, the Thunder met the Lakers in the first round.

That year, Durant had already become the scoring leader. Although Durant still averaged 25 points per game in the series, his shooting percentage per game was only 35%. Among them, the worst game was defended.

The hit rate is only 21%.

Artest's entanglement made Durant miserable and made him completely unable to play the leading scoring style.

So much so that in an interview after the game, Artest said that being the scoring champion was nothing special.

As for Li Ang, who is faster than Artest and has longer arms, it is really difficult to deal with the more youthful Durant.

The reason why Adu surpassed Li Ang in scoring in a single game last season was simply because Li Ang was not responsible for defending Durant in that game.

When meeting the Thunder last season, Li Ang actually faced off more with Roy.

In the tenth minute of the first quarter, the ball was in the hands of the Clippers.

At this time, the substitute players on the sidelines were ready, and Dunleavy was ready to replace the remaining main players and rest.

If the ball is dead or there is a timeout, Li Ang will also be off the field.

Therefore, with this attack, Li Ang wanted to hit Adu again to bring a perfect end to the first quarter.

This time, the Clippers finally returned to the triangle offense.

Barnes holds the ball on the wing, and Duncan takes position in the penalty area.

But this time it was Rose who was at the top of the arc, while Li Ang sank to the bottom corner.

Barnes gave the ball to Duncan on the pivot, and at the same time, Li Ang suddenly started and immediately cut to the basket.

Durant reflexively turned around and chased after him, but when he turned around, he realized... there was no one there!

Durant then took advantage of the situation and turned to the bottom corner, and his move was equivalent to spinning in a circle...

It turns out that Li Ang just made a fake move.

But because it started very suddenly, it was very real.

Coupled with the fact that Adu was inexperienced enough to believe it, we had the youthful scene just now.

When Durant finished dancing, he found that Li Ang had already taken off.

The calm Duncan had just seen Li Ang's conspiracy, so he immediately passed the ball to Li Ang after Li Ang deceived Durant.

Li Ang raised his hand and hit a three-pointer, helping the team gain a 12-point lead!

At this time, many fans at the scene were laughing.

Because the scene where Adu was shaken and spun around just now was really funny.

This goal was very demoralizing. It's the most embarrassing thing to let someone else score a goal and to be teased by someone else.

The Thunder had to call a timeout, and the big screen was replaying the footage of Adu spinning around in circles.

The sensitive Durant immediately lowered his head. He was not a confident person to begin with, and now he was even more embarrassed after being laughed at.

Moreover, Durant has been using off-ball offense to fight Li Ang, but in turn he was educated by Li Ang's off-ball offense.

This is even more shameful!

A Zhan said you should get used to it quickly, Li Ang not only likes to attend class, but also likes to drag the class!

Li Ang didn't mean to ask Adu to dance. How did he know that Adu would react so strongly.

Don't be sad, just think of it as a lesson.

A Zhan: Look, I didn’t lie to you!

After Li Ang sat on the bench, he looked at the big screen and saw that he had scored 11 points in a single quarter, while Durant had only scored 2 points so far.

Li Ang already leads by 9 points.

But the biggest problem now is that if the Thunder continue to play at this pace, they may not be able to hold on for half a game!

If the game enters garbage time early, it will be difficult for Li Ang to surpass Durant in scoring by 20 points.

After all, as a rookie, even if the game is thrown into garbage time, people will not say anything if he continues to play.

In this way, the scoring gap between Adu and Li Ang will not be so big.

Li Ang never expected that he would be the one hindering him from completing his mission.

Leondo began to regret it. Did I act a little too harshly just now?

So, impulse is the devil!

Before the first quarter was over, Li Ang almost collapsed the game.

No matter how big the temptation is, you can't just grab it. You have to consider the consequences first.

On the other side, Durant was very disappointed at this time.

He had thought that he would fail in challenging Li Ang, but he did not expect that he would fail so completely.

Even though he was beaten up, he was forced to perform a basketball ballet.

Is this challenge to Li Ang? This challenge is clearly a hard one!

Speaking of which, when Adu was drafted, the template given by the NBA was Garnett McGrady.

Now it seems that it is really accurate. He has inherited the hard dance steps, and also inherited the curse of McGrady being unable to defeat Li Ang.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The scouting report honestly doesn’t deceive me!

The Thunder fell behind by 12 points before the first quarter was finished, which also made the team very passive.

The Thunder actually want to make a run at the playoffs this season, and third-year Roy and second-year Adu have no chance at all.

Therefore, the Thunder cannot just lie flat at the beginning of the season.

At any rate, I have to struggle in the cruel West.

At this time, Roy patted Durant's thigh: "What are you doing? The game has just begun. Being 12 points behind is indeed a lot, but we also have a lot of time."

Oklahoma's No. 7 looked determined and did not lose heart because he was 12 points behind.

He also told head coach PJ Carlesimo: "Boss, I want to finish the first quarter and reduce the score as much as possible."

Carlesimo nodded, now the team really needs to reduce the score.

Durant looked at Roy, that guy had courage and confidence that he didn't have.

Roy turned to look at Durant and smiled: "Don't worry, we still have a chance!"

Afterwards, Roy geared up.

Now that I've been forced into a desperate situation, I won't be polite!

The first quarter of the game continued, with Li Ang sitting on the bench, only to find that Roy was still present.

At this time, the person responsible for defending Roy was James Jones, the most humane and sophisticated man in the NBA.

Roy did not pass the ball again this time, but continued to dribble the ball at the top of the arc.

With luck, he suddenly accelerated and broke through, and the experienced Jones immediately followed up without losing his position.

Roy is not the kind of player who likes to use speed to force past others, so Jones has no problem keeping up with him.

But one step inside the free throw line, Roy paused and seemed about to make a sudden jump shot.

James Jones immediately jumped up to block it, but Roy just made a fake move to worship Buddha!

A third-year young guard actually made a fool of James Jones, who had been in the industry for five years!

Roy has a particularly good sense of rhythm on the offensive end. He may seem ordinary, neither fast nor aggressive, but he can get past people.

It is indeed a defender version of the basic skills. If the smile is more obscene, it will look more like it.

After getting away from Jones, Roy took a step forward and made a short jump shot, successfully scoring!
