The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 18 The Death God Durant

As Li Xun hit the most amazing triple-double in NBA history, he became famous in China.

Generally speaking, when Li Xun scored 13 points and 21 rebounds before, the domestic media should blow him up.

It's a pity that because Yi Jianlian was blown too hard last season, these media have been slapped in the face.

So they didn't have full confidence, and they didn't dare to blow it up.

Now they have full confidence.

Three consecutive rebounds against the sky, what scruples can there be.

Blow hard!
"The Rise of the Chinese Rebounding God, Pistons Management Has No Eyes"

"The Rockets are in contact with Li Xun, and the Chinese Twin Towers are expected to join hands"

"25+ rebounds per game, No. [-] rebounder in the universe"

"Chinese Talented Players Surpassing Chamberlain and Russell"

"Li Xun, where is his limit? "

"Li Xun became the leader of the third generation of the Pistons, aiming at the championship"

When Li Xun learned the domestic news from Yao Ming, his old face turned red, he was really ashamed.

Where is this so that he can be on par with Chamberlain and Russell?

These two ancient behemoths, the current self is really not easy to compare with others.

As for the No. [-] rebounding champion in the universe, Li Xun is not qualified to compete for the rebounding champion at all because he played too few games this year.

But to be recognized by the domestic media, Li Xun is actually flattered.

Being in a foreign country, he doesn't care what the old American media thinks of him.

What I care more about is what kind of evaluation domestic fans will give me.

At least for now, the domestic media and fans have a good evaluation of Li Xun.

……

Eight o'clock in the evening on February 2st.

The Pistons challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder away.

The Thunder just relocated from Seattle this season and changed the team name from the Supersonics to the Thunder.

Not only is the team new, but the core players in the team are all newcomers as well.

The three cores are the 07 rookies Durant and Jeff Green, plus the 08 rookie Westbrook.

The game started and the starting players of both sides appeared on the field.

The Thunder's starting power forward, Jeff Green, is Iverson's junior in college.

As soon as he came up, he ran directly to Iverson and gave Iverson a hug.

In the minds of the players who came out of Georgetown University, Iverson is the only true god.

"Hey, Lee."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Westbrook greeted Li Xun as if seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Li Xun was stunned. Does this body have friendship with Westbrook?

After searching the memory for a long time, I finally remembered that the two had said a few words during the rookie joint trial training.

"Russell, long time no see."

Li Xun can't say he likes Westbrook, but he can't say he hates it either.

The referee blows the whistle and the players on both sides take their positions.

Kwame Brown won the jump ball again.

Among other things, there is really no fault in the physical fitness of this parallel import champion.

In the first offensive round, Li Xun was well-behaved and placed under the basket, waiting for his teammates to make a shot.

Prince missed the shot, and Kwame Brown was the closest to the rebound and easily received the rebound.

In fact, Li Xun also has a chance to win this rebound.

But it's not necessary.

This kind of rebound that his teammates can easily accept, if he grabs it again, it will be a bit ugly.

After grabbing the rebound, Kwame Brown turned around and hit the basket and scored two points.

Li Xun finally knew why coach Curry agreed to participate in the offense so simply.

Because Thunderclap's insiders seem to be unreasonably weak.

In the first three games he played, there was at least one insider in the team who could get on the table.

For example, David Lee of the Knicks, Daluo of the Nets and Noah of the Bulls.

The Thunder really don't have any decent insiders.

It seems like even Kwame Brown can wreak havoc in the Thunder's paint lane.

It was the Thunder's turn to attack.

Westbrook gave Durant the ball from outside the three-point line.

Li Xun stared at Durant with all his attention. He knew very well that Durant was very likely to be one of the strongest opponents in his career.

Facing Prince's single defense, Durant took his time.

Slowly paces outside the three-point line.

Time passed by second by second.

With only five or six seconds left in the Thunder's offensive round, Durant jumped up suddenly and made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Prince shook his head and smiled wryly, the ball was impossible to defend.

His height is actually not short, just like Li Xun, he is also 206 cm.

Relying on his height advantage on weekdays, Prince has a dislocation advantage when playing most small forwards.

But tonight he encountered something even more ruthless.

Durant's official height is also reported as 206 cm.

But such a height would not believe that Prince killed him, because he was half a head shorter in front of Durant.

Usually, he beats others to misplace him, but tonight, he became the one who was misplaced.

"What a monster."

"This guy has to be at least seven feet!"

"He should be playing center forward!"

Prince couldn't help complaining to Li Xun beside him.

Li Xun was also horrified.

Watching Durant play on TV in his previous life, he couldn't feel his coercion at all.

Competing in the same field now, this completely unreasonable style of play is definitely a nightmare for opposing players.

On the offensive end, Durant is worthy of the nickname of Death.

Li Xun calmed down, and then it was the Pistons' offensive round, and it was his turn to perform.

Durant is strong, very strong.

But Li Xun now has the offensive level of singles Joe, even if it is not as good as Durant, it should not be too bad.

Iverson took possession of the ball to the frontcourt.

Seeing that Li Xun has no position at the basket, how can he not see Li Xun's small plan.

After accurately passing the ball to Li Xun, all the Piston generals turned their attention to him.

Jeff Green is Li Xun's matchup target tonight.

This guy is also 206 cm tall. He is a power forward in name and a combo forward in essence.

Unlike Deng Yingqiao, Deng Yingqiao is more inclined to the small forward style.

Green is more of a power forward.

As for Li Xun, he is now ashamed to say that he is a combo striker.

After receiving the pass, Li Xun took a deep breath.

Green was the only defensive player in front of him, and the offensive attribute of the singles maniac was triggered.

It was almost a replica of Durant's offensive round just now.

Li Xun also paced slowly holding the ball, and with about ten seconds left in the attack clock, he directly made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Precise hollow into the net.

This ball directly looked stupid to the generals of the Pistons.

In the game against the Nets, although Li Xun hit six three-pointers in a row, it always gave them a strange feeling.

Because Li Xun's offensive movements were extremely awkward at that time.

You can tell at a glance that he doesn't look like a serious offensive player.

Especially the big step back, Iverson was worried that Li Xun's steps were too big and he would tear his balls.

As for the shot just now, Li Xun's movements can't be faulted at all.

The posture, timing and height of the shot are all perfect.

Even compared to Durant's shot just now, the degree of perfection is not far behind.
