Chapter 510: Deron Williams’ Ambition and How Good He Is Compared to Durant!

In NBA games, confrontation and physical combat need to be separated.

Physical combat is also confrontation, but the confrontation and physical combat that the NBA often talks about are two completely different things.

The physical fight happens before the ball is caught.

NBA players can take many, many more intense actions before catching the ball.

Defensive players can make violent moves, and so can offensive players, so this is called physical combat.

Fighting in the arena.

Ye Si often has some very interesting scenes during the game.

For example, when Yes is running without the ball, he is often sandwiched by the opponent's defensive players like a sandwich.

It was not obvious last season. Last season, the entire NBA was not so clear about Yes' off-ball defense. After this season, it was clear and decisive. When Yes was running without the ball, he encountered something before catching the ball. The defensive intensity is huge.

This sandwich is the most typical one.

After seeing this situation, many commentators said that the Seattle SuperSonics were playing four against five on the court, and the other player disappeared.

The league and the referees on the field very much condone this kind of confrontation or hand-to-hand combat without the ball.

As long as there are no harmful actions, this kind of confrontation or hand-to-hand combat can increase the enjoyment of the game.

Offensive players and defensive players rack their brains to defeat and get rid of their opponents when they don't have the ball. This is something fans want to see.

But if a player encounters such intensity of defense after catching the ball, it is really a foul.

The current NBA protection of offensive players mainly protects offensive players with the ball.

After all, offensive players and defensive players are equal when they don't have the ball, even if they box each other.

But offensive players are vulnerable when holding the ball. To use the simplest metaphor, if an offensive player fights with a defensive player while holding the ball, he still has to use one hand to control the ball.

This is just about controlling the ball. If the player with the ball jumps up to shoot and the defensive player plays dirty, the offensive player really has nothing to do.

Therefore, the league’s biggest protection for offensive players holding the ball is that the intensity of confrontation can only reach the level of confrontation.

It must not escalate to physical combat.

Even in a confrontation, some actions are not allowed.

As for Durant, the confrontation he is improving and practicing now is also a confrontation after holding the ball, not a physical fight before holding the ball.

Jerry Sloan did this to Durant in this game, which really surprised Ye Si.

Durant almost never faced this situation when doing catching exercises with him.

Durant's catching exercises are to train the upper limit of Durant's catching ability.

It will not create difficulties for Durant to catch the ball. The intensity of the confrontation is not that great at all.

The game resumed in the second quarter with the Utah Jazz attacking.

The score on the court is now 30 to 24, with the Seattle SuperSonics leading by 6 points.

This is not a small point difference, but because the Seattle SuperSonics only scored 15 points in the first quarter, the morale of the Jazz players was quite good.

The Jazz's first wave of offense showed the current morale of this team.

After Deron Williams dribbled the ball past half-court, he did not initiate the pick-and-roll tactics that were restricted in this game with Boozer, nor did he try to challenge Ye. Instead, he quickly dribbled the ball past half-court and then shot from a distance away from Ye. Si was still one step away and made a long-range three-pointer!

Deron Williams has made a lot of three-pointers this season, and his 39.5% shooting percentage is not bad. Deron Williams' three-point shooting percentage in his rookie season has reached 41.6%, but Deron's three-pointers are a bit It's special, sometimes no matter how you cast it, it will be there, and sometimes it won't be there no matter how you cast it, just like the Six Meridians Divine Sword in martial arts novels.

But this time, the 'Six-Pulse Divine Sword' thrown by Deron hit the net with a crisp sound. After Rondo hit the three-pointer, the point difference between the two teams also became three points.

Seeing Deron Williams' three-pointer, Jerry Sloan, who had always had a confident expression on the sidelines, now had a brighter smile on his face.

Now every time he plays against the Sonics, Deron's performance is like a nightmare.

It may sound incredible.

In Jerry Sloan's opinion, Deron Williams has always been one of the best point guards in the league.

Even the second-best point guard behind Nash.

No, if Nash and Deron were put together, he would choose Deron without any hesitation.

Deron's current reputation in the league is not very high, and his popularity is not that great. Even the popularity he is mentioned is quite bad.

But one thing is that there is absolutely no problem with Deron's strength.

Nash is now recognized as the number one point guard in the league, the second point guard in history, and the only two point guards in the history of the league who can win the Finals MVP and regular season MVP.

In today's NBA, Nash's reputation in the NBA is at its peak.

Many people are looking forward to Nash leading the Suns to become the strongest team in history this year, winning the MVP and FMVP again and shaking the Magic's position as the number one point guard in history.

If we were talking about the league's top point guard before, Nash and Kidd would still have some saliva.

But now, Nash is the well-deserved No. 1 point guard. As for Kidd? It's better to be his base.

And what about the future No. 1 point guard in the league now?

There is also a well-deserved name, Chris Paul!

The point guard who was considered to be Isiah Thomas Jr. when he entered the league finally produced the numbers of Isiah Thomas at his peak this season.

Chris Paul not only has excellent statistics, but also has excellent team performance.

In this so-called most terrifying season in the Western Conference, the Thunder led by Chris Paul crushed the Mavericks, the strongest team in the league last year!

No, not only did they crush the Mavericks, but the Jazz were also crushed in terms of record by the Thunder led by Paul.

Nash is the current number one point guard in the league, and Paul is the number one point guard in the league in the future.

These two point guards who represent the present and the future are very powerful, but Deron has never suffered a disadvantage when facing these two people.

Not only has he never suffered a loss, no one may believe it. Steve Nash, the league's current number one point guard, has only had two games with a 50% shooting percentage against Deron since his rookie season. !

This is Steve Nash!

The player who shoots red from all areas on the court, the player who has no shooting weaknesses!

When facing Deron, Nash was not only low in efficiency, but also in low quantity.

Nash, who has averaged more than 25 points per game for two consecutive seasons, when facing Deron, his highest score before this season was 22 points.

Although the Suns won the first match this season, it was quite difficult to win.

It can be said that Deron is one of the few players in the league who can compete equally with Nash in a direct competition!

No, if a little less modest, Deron is even the dominant side.

And what about Chris Paul, another top point guard in the league?

Chris Paul was even worse when facing Deron.

Chris Paul has been a first-class point guard who can stably average more than 16+8 per game since his rookie season.

For Paul, scoring 20+10 in a game is standard. This does not start from this season. It was like this in Paul's rookie season.

It can be said that as long as Paul is willing, he can play 20+10 in a game starting from his rookie season.

But what about Paul's performance when facing Deron?

From the past two seasons to now, Chris Paul has been unable to score more than 15 points in 6 consecutive games when facing Deron!

This is the number of points scored. If you count efficiency, Paul's efficiency is even worse. Paul has played against Deron 8 times in his career, and only once has his shooting rate exceeded 50%. In this half of the game, Paul's record is 1 win and 7 losses. !

If in the previous seasons, the Jazz had the advantage and Deron had the advantage of teammates, then this season, the Thunder's strength and record are superior to the Jazz. But this season, Paul and Deron lost both games!

Paul, who can average close to 22+12 per game this season, averaged 10.5 points and 6 assists per game against Deron!

In other words, when Paul faced Deron, not only did he lose, but his statistics were only half of his per-game average.

With this data and this record, Paul was simply beaten when he faced Deron.

They say Yes means eating, sleeping and playing spurs.

Yao Ming eats, sleeps and plays World of Warcraft.

Deron was eating, sleeping and beating Paul!

The league's current number one point guard and the league's future number one point guard will all be beaten when facing Deron.

If Sloan had to choose, who would he choose?

Of course it's DeLong!

In Jerry Sloan's view, Deron's hard power is the league's number one point guard!

It's just a little regrettable that this point guard with the best strength in the league was really miserable when facing Yes!

How great Deron was when facing Paul, but how miserable he was when facing Yes.

It's just like one thing defeats another.

Yes's strength, height, experience, and strength overwhelmed Delong.

Before Yes appeared, he had never thought that Deron, with such strong physical strength, could be so embarrassed when facing a player.

Jerry Sloan was so embarrassed that it was acceptable for Deron to lose confidence when facing Yes.

There is no way, it is really too miserable.

But now, when I see Deron facing Yes, although he does not dare to fight head-on, his behavior of "dare to shoot Yes from eight hundred miles away" is quite gratifying.

At least, he dared to shoot at Yes, and he hit!

This means that Deron's confidence and expectations have not been destroyed by Yes at all!

Of course, Deron's confidence was not destroyed by Ye Si.

After hitting this ultra-long three-pointer, Deron looked calm on his face, but in fact he was punching wildly in his heart.

He wants more attention from the world!

Sloan feels that Deron's hard power is superior to Paul and Nash.

As a player himself, Deron certainly has this idea!

Deron never thought he was better than Nash, he was nothing worse than Paul.

Not only is he no worse than these two people, he is even better than them!

However, compared with these two people, what did he get?

Nash did not become an All-Star starter, and the whole world felt pity for him.

Paul didn't become an All-Star, and the whole world felt sorry for him.

And what about him?

He doesn't vote as well as Barea!

Who feels sorry for him? Who feels sorry for him anymore?

He should have a higher reputation now, he should have a higher attention now, just because he is in damn Salt Lake City, the most shabby and neglected place on earth, and he deserves to enjoy this. Is it all unfair?

He is not willing to give in, he is very unwilling to give in, he does not want to continue to live like this!

He wants to be Nash, he wants to be Paul, he even wants to be Yes!

After Deron Williams scored this ultra-long three-pointer, his confidence could no longer be described as bursting.

This is the game Jerry Sloan wants to beat Seattle.

And what about him?

He wants to beat Yes! in this game!

Damn Yes, you actually dare to train Durant like this when facing me!

A game gives Durant thirty precious opportunities. Do you think you are really a god?

Can you give me thirty rounds?

The counterattack in this game starts now!

Now the difference is only three points. Wait a moment, the Jazz will tie, and then the Jazz will overtake. In the end, I will defeat you, win this game, and win the attention of the world!

After the first quarter, experts, media or fans across the United States and around the world knew Yes' plans for the game.

Even if Durant is terrible, Yes will not give up on Durant!

Not only will Durant not be given up, Durant will continue to give Durant more than 30 opportunities in a game!

Of course, it's impossible for all of Durant's 30 opportunities to turn into mistakes, but based on the mistakes and iron ratio in the first quarter, how many possessions will the Sonics have to take against the Jazz in this game?

Even though the Sonics are leading now, most people feel that the Sonics have no chance of winning this game.

As long as Yes is still not convinced by Durant.

The record gap between the SuperSonics and Jazz is indeed large, but the strength gap between the two teams is not that big. The SuperSonics cannot afford Durant's crazy mistakes and iron blows.

How do the Seattle SuperSonics win?

How can Yes choose to continue to train Durant?

You know, Yes said that he will never sacrifice the team's record to cultivate Durant.

If Yes can't find a way to defeat the Jazz, he is now sacrificing his record to train Durant!

After Deron launched a counterattack on behalf of the Jazz, the audience and experts in front of the TV and at the scene were even more looking forward to Yes' decision.

Soon, they saw the decision of Yes!

"Rondo quickly pushed the ball past half court!"

"Yes, I caught the ball!"

"Yes is jumping again!"

The Seattle SuperSonics' No. 9 jumped up again like he did in the first quarter!

However, the familiar pass did not appear!

Under the surprised eyes of all the Seattle SuperSonics fans, Yees jumped up in front of Deron Williams and threw the basketball in his hand directly against Deron's defense!

The basketball drew a wonderful arc and fell into the net!

"Yes give up Durant?!"

No!

Jerry Sloan is very sure that Yes will never give up Durant!

In fact, the next game also proved this.

"Yes has not given up on Durant. Yes is using his efficiency and all-out efforts to fully support Durant!"

When the half of the game between the two teams ended, many people were stunned watching the score of 43 to 41 on TV.

Looking at the SuperSonics No. 35 on TV who was so moved that he was about to cry, the language of the broadcast footage was just short of telling the world what they were accusing.

How can you be so virtuous!

This guy No. 35 is really so virtuous and capable!
