There was a commotion in the place.

This was the first time they had seen someone use this kind of entrance ceremony!

And, so... special!

The Sonics players subconsciously touched their chests.

They feel threatened!

This is to strengthen their memory and remind them not to follow in Bowen’s footsteps!

In fact, let alone the Sonics players, O'Connor was shocked.

No matter how hard he tried, he would never have imagined that Lin Ying would appear in such a way!

With such an opening that hints at violence, the Nuggets will definitely receive a warning from the league after the game!

However, Anthony and the others, who had not yet appeared on the court, were already laughing together on the bench.

They suddenly felt that Lin Ying also had a talent for comedy.

Lin Ying didn't think much about it, and even thought she was quite cool.

This was something he had thought about for several days and came up with a move that had personal characteristics and could deepen his memory!

After the opening ceremony, the rosters of the two teams were released.

Visiting Nuggets: Iverson, J.R. Smith, Anthony, Lin Ying, Martin;

Home team SuperSonics: Earl Watson, Durant, Jeff Green, Chris Wilcox, Kurt Thomas

The game is about to start, and the Nuggets players are in a relatively relaxed mood.

Although it is a Christmas game and they lost to the Celtics in the last game, because the SuperSonics are limited in strength, this is a night for them to enjoy the game.

Before Lin Ying took the field, he looked towards the Sonics half court.

His eyes did not fall on Durant or Green, but on Wilcox.

This will be the player he faces tonight.

Originally, Karl arranged for Lin Ying to guard Durant, but when Anthony heard that Durant wanted to defeat him, he took the initiative to change defense.

Because the Sonics were weak, Karl went with him.

Although Wilcox is not an All-Star like Garnett, he is well-known in Seattle.

When Ray Allen and Lewis led this team to the second round of the playoffs two years ago and were expected to win the championship, he played center.

He averaged 14 points and 8 rebounds per game and shot 59.2% from the field. His performance was quite outstanding.

Although the Sonics have struggled in the past two years, he has still maintained this performance.

Because of his strong physical fitness and outstanding explosive power, he also has a very loud nickname:

Seattle beast!

Jump ball from Wilcox and Martin.

Wilcox leaped high and put the ball back in the Sonics half.

This bounce was obviously stronger than that of Martin after the serious injury.

The Sonics attacked first, and it was Durant's off-the-ball tactics from the start.

As mentioned before, all the uncooperative members of the Sonics have been sent away, so the rest will naturally cooperate.

Thomas set a pick-and-roll, and Durant came out and received a pass from Watson and made a mid-range jump shot.

"Whoa!"

Basketball hollow bag.

Although his overall shooting percentage is not high, his shots are divided into areas.

For ordinary players, there is a big difference between the shooting percentages in hot areas and non-hot areas.

As for Durant, although he makes half of his shots from beyond the three-point line, the mid- to long-range areas are his hot spots.

2 to 0.

The Sonics scored first.

Lin Ying signaled Anthony's singles tactics.

During the Nuggets' previous winning streak, including the last game against the Celtics, the Nuggets used this tactic most frequently.

It's not that Lin Ying wants to build a good relationship or anything, but this tactic is indeed the most effective.

One thing you have to admit is that although Anthony doesn't like to share the ball, his individual attack ability is really very strong.

Especially when he is full of energy at the beginning, as long as he is given enough space, he is basically 70 to 80 percent sure.

The strong side was cleared, the weak side was widened, and Lin Ying fed the ball in immediately.

The person guarding Anthony is Green.

Green's physical condition is good, but unfortunately he is still just a rookie at the moment.

After Anthony received the ball, he threatened the three-pointer behind the basket. A fake shot put Green's center of gravity up, and a fake breakthrough made Green already run away.

"Whoa!"

Anthony's opening pull-up was also firmly in the frame.

The Sonics played the same tactics in the frontcourt, the only difference was that they changed from one side of the half to the other, and the passer changed from Watson to Green.

At almost the same distance, Durant caught the ball again.

"Whoa!"

Then, he seized the opportunity again!

Key Arena has been filled with cheers from Sonics fans.

Speed ​​of running without the ball, speed of catching and shooting, shooting stability.

Durant fully demonstrated his talent in these two rounds.

Karl walked to the sidelines at this time and stretched out his hand to signal Lin Ying to flank.

These two goals actually completely exposed Anthony's defensive weakness: his lateral movement speed is too slow!

This makes him obviously unable to cope with the pick and roll.

And because he is used to not defending, his defensive experience is also very poor. When he sees the pick-and-roll coming, he doesn't even think about squeezing through or dodging in advance.

Therefore, the Nuggets can only switch when encountering a pick-and-roll, but once the switch is made, Martin cannot defend him.

That's why Durant was given such a comfortable shooting space.

Lin Ying nodded, actually...he had already thought about it!

As a close comrade of Durant's in college, he should not be too familiar with Durant's current technical characteristics.

In addition to not really developing the ball, Durant's other weakness is passing.

At this time, he was no different from college. If he was double-teamed, he would basically be unable to play the ball.

In the frontcourt, Lin Ying continued to play tactics for Anthony.

The SuperSonics team attacked in advance.

But with the Nuggets' lineup, as long as you flank anyone, you will inevitably miss others.

No, Smith's counterattack would be empty.

Lin Ying's pass came to Smith and he shot a three-pointer from the outside.

"Dang!"

This was a good chance to score, but unfortunately Smith's knife might not have passed the security inspection.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped up from the right side, grabbed the offensive rebound and quickly made a second shot to score.

Anthony!

Compared with jumping, Anthony can only be regarded as average in the NBA, but his jumping speed is definitely at a historical level!

From grabbing the rebound to scoring the shot, Thomas in front of him didn't react.

And you can clearly feel Anthony's enthusiasm.

After Durant said he wanted to defeat him, his desire to compete was instantly boosted to 120%.

The Sonics attacked in the frontcourt, and Durant continued to move without the ball.

This time, as soon as he received the ball, he was flanked by Lin Ying.

Moreover, Lin Ying really knew him well, and when he was flanked, he would raise his hands and not give him a chance to take action directly.

If he didn't make a move the first time, he wouldn't have a chance to make a move later.

Durant: Good brother!
