NBA: No. 1 Forward

Durant frowned. He had just witnessed Lian Dao flying past his eyes towards the penalty area, and then completed the whole process of blocking the shot.

Durant was amazed by Lian Dao\'s athletic ability.

He is also a master of supplementary defense, but when he thinks in another way, he finds that he can\'t do it to the level of Lian Dao.

In just two rounds, Lian Dao turned all the doubts about him in the previous few days into a joke.

Slack preparations lead to poor state?

Excuse me, can I go all out? !

Lian Dao proved with practical actions that there is nothing wrong with his state.

Lian Dao had no problem, but the situation before Lei Ting was very severe.

They have to restrain Lian Dao to have a chance of winning.

The live shots were shown to Thunder coach Scott Brooks. Brooks looked calm and did not give tactical instructions.

The game has just started, he needs to wait and see the form, and then decide whether to double-team.

However, Brooks ignored the Knicks\' ability to control the game situation.

Once the Knicks control the offensive rhythm, it will not be easy for the Thunder to come back.

Due to the previous block, Lian Dao shot the ball out of bounds, so this time it is still the Thunder\'s possession.

This time, though, Durant is ready to go all out on offense.

He took the initiative to ask Westbrook for the ball.

Seeing the changes in Durant, Lian Dao kept stepping forward to defend him.

But it was still delayed by an off-ball screen by Yin Baka.

Durant came out and successfully received the basketball, and then made a decisive breakthrough.

Lian Dao puffed out her chest and continued to stick it up.

If the opponent thinks that this can get rid of Lian Dao\'s defense, then it really underestimates dpoy\'s defensive strength.

However, Durant was not surprised by Lian Dao\'s rapid defense.

It\'s not once or twice to play against Lian Dao. Durant has already learned about Lian Dao\'s defensive strength.

It would be really surprising if he really got rid of Lian Dao so easily.

Durant did not slow down, but connected two super-large frontal disguises.

For this reason, Lian Dao also had to move his feet to contain him, and he accurately predicted two consecutive disguises.

Durant immediately disguised himself again, and Lian Dao moved quickly again.

However, this is just a fake move by Durant, pulling back, taking off, and jumping back.

Lian Dao\'s center of gravity is at the back, and it is really difficult to block the shot. He can only interfere symbolically and watch Durant make a shot.

"brush!"

Durant hit the first ball of the day for the Thunder, and it was his best mid-range shot.

Lei Ting No. 35 slammed his chest hard, but he was not frightened by Lian Dao\'s opening momentum.

"This guy, his shooting is more stable, and he has improved from the last match."

Lian Dao licked his lips, and Durant\'s enhancement also inspired Lian Dao\'s fighting spirit.

As soon as the game started, Durant and Lian Dao set the tone for the game.

Thunder No. 35 and Knicks No. 1 are like Johnson and Larry Bird back then.

Although there are many other outstanding players in the two teams, Lian Dao and Durant are the focus of determining the direction of the game.

Lian Dao attacked with the ball in a high position, and Durant firmly blocked Lian Dao\'s turning space and breakthrough route.

One hand is above Lian Dao holding the ball, and the other hand is raised to prevent Lian Dao from jumping.

However, this time Lian Dao didn\'t plan to shoot a jumper, but suddenly accelerated.

The fastest first step!

Take a quick step to complete the breakthrough.

Durant is most afraid of fast-footed players, and he still has loopholes when defending fast players.

Because the center of gravity is too high, he can only lower his body to defend.

But in this case, part of the speed advantage will be lost in the lateral movement of the footsteps, and the flexibility will also be lost.

However, Durant also has his own method. After Lian Dao broke in, he quickly took great strides to chase and defend.

At the same time, the inside Yin Baka stepped forward to help defend.

Facing the front and back attack, Lian Dao did not choose to pass the ball.

His desire to fight is soaring now, and he just wants to tell Thunder in the strongest way.

Don\'t double-team, you can never stop me!

After entering the inside line, he turned around and passed Yin Baka, and then jumped high under the basket.

At this time, Durant just rushed over and took a big stride to block the shot.

Lian Dao twisted his waist in the air, avoided Durant\'s block, and then dunked backhand!

"Peng!"

Lian Dao attacked back and forth against the two men, and made a strong attack!

Faced with Lian Dao\'s tough attitude, the fans on the scene burst into jubilation.

Now, everyone knows that Lian Dao\'s condition is so good that it explodes!

Immediately afterwards, Durant attacked Lian Dao\'s defense on the offensive end, and returned with a strong mid-range attack.

In the following games, Lian Dao and Durant explained what a duel in the finals is.

Every time Lian Dao pushes forward, he will encounter the opponent\'s assistance and flank attack, and every shot is not easy.

Durant was not much better, he wanted to get rid of Lian Dao for a short time so that he could get a chance to make a move.

Every time is racking your brains, and every confrontation will consume a lot of physical energy on the offensive end.

Afterwards, the two battled fiercely before even catching the ball.

Their wars are going on all the time, even if it is for the card position, both sides will do their best to stop each other.

Before the first quarter was over, Durant and Lian Dao were both sweating profusely.

The consumption of both of them is very high. Under such intensity, ordinary people may not be able to last for three minutes.

However, Lian Dao and Durant have a duel like this, and they will last until the end of the game.

With the desperate efforts of the two, neither side had any way to open the score.

The game was tense from the very beginning.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Thunder by 6 points at 28:22.

"I can\'t believe it. This is a game played by two teams that like to play fast break. If you tell me that this is a game of horses and horses, I will believe it!"

Kenny Smith recalled the hand-to-hand defense of both sides in the first quarter, and said with some emotion.

Buckley nodded deeply.

"But this is the intensity of the finals. It is impossible for all offenses to surpass defense. At the end of the game, it depends on who can hold on to the iron-blooded defense!"

"Whoever can persevere to the end, and who makes fewer mistakes, can go to the end!"

O\'Neill did not disagree with Barkley this time, but he also expressed his point of view.

"There is defense, and there will be no lack of offense. In the second quarter, both sides will definitely show their strength on the offensive end!"

As a result, as O\'Neal said, at the beginning of the second quarter, James Harden and Derek Fisher hit three-pointers one after another.

In an instant, the 6-point difference was evened out.

After that, Stoudemire continued to exert force on the offensive end, especially his face-to-face offense, which Nick Collison couldn\'t resist at all.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides fell into chaos again in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Thunder attacked for the last time. When Durant broke through with the ball and jumped for a layup, he was slapped by Lian Dao.

And Durant also fell to the floor during the confrontation.

However, Durant, who was lying on the floor this time, did not get up immediately.

He gasped heavily, motionless, waiting for his teammates to pull.

Lian Dao is also sweating profusely now, but his situation is much better than Durant\'s.

Seeing Durant lying on the floor~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lian Dao couldn\'t help showing a smile.

Lian Dao knew that Durant was going to have a physical crisis.

In fact, Durant\'s physical fitness has always been his biggest criticism, especially the continuous offensive ability that often affects the fourth quarter.

This has not fundamentally changed.

The reason why the Thunder have gone so far this season is largely due to the performance of James Harden and the growth of Yin Baka.

It was these two people who improved the phenomenon that the Thunder often collapsed in the fourth quarter.

But these two can only make the team better, not to the extent that they can completely influence the game.

If Durant is restricted, even if James Harden and Yin Baka play well, they still cannot change the final battle situation.

But if Durant can\'t be restrained and the Thunder cling to the score, then in the fourth quarter, James Harden\'s role will be revealed.

D\'Antoni\'s purpose is very clear, that is to consume Durant and make him enter the exhaustion period ahead of schedule.

In this way, they will continue to play an advantage on the offensive end, expand their advantages, and kill their opponents in one fell swoop!

Moreover, D\'Antoni\'s defense against Durant is not only Lian Dao.

…

"Sickle and Kevin were at odds with each other in the first half, and I don\'t know if they\'ll be able to do that in the second half."

"They showed no reservations in the first half, and they seemed to want to kill each other immediately!"

On the last attack of the Knicks, Lian Dao made a mid-range shot at the buzzer, extending the lead to 5 points.

At the end of the half, the Knicks took a 5-point lead at 56:51.

Home team locker room.

D\'Antoni is adjusting his tactics for the second half.
