Chapter 895: This Peak of Life Is a Bit Short!

Game 6 between the Seattle SuperSonics and Los Angeles Lakers was a turning point for both teams.

The promotion support dropped from 90 to less than half because of the sixth game.

As a side that was once optimistic and is now undervalued, the pressure on the Sonics is still very high.

Especially Durant.

Durant has been looking forward to it since returning in the second round of the playoffs this season.

He wants to lift the championship trophy with yes!

Instead of falling down halfway through like last season.

Although he also won the championship, that championship really didn't mean much.

So when he came back from playing against the Mavericks, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

His mind was full of fantasies about how he and Ye Si would win the championship together after hard work.

The idea of ​​a big fight filled his mind.

But after his comeback, he realized how cruel the world was.

Finally, he was forced to use the giant loop.

Although he helped yes in the first few games, his big loopback also angered Nowitzki. In the end, the entire team accompanied him and was trained by Nowitzki.

It was a tough fight.

To the Western Conference Finals.

His performance still hasn't improved much.

Yes still trusts him as before, trusting him so much that he even sacrificed his own stage and lights for him.

I thought that after the fifth game, I could calmly walk past Artest and the Lakers forwards, but who would have thought that Kidd would suddenly show up in the sixth game!

This guy is really annoying!

In the last game, he was even forced to perform a giant loop at the end.

In the end, even the big loop was useless!

No matter how strong a defensive player is, it will be difficult to escape his vicious circle at first, and it will take time to adapt.

But Kidd really doesn't need to adapt at all. His big swing is of no use to Kidd.

In the last game, he was guarded by Kidd and felt a little doubtful about his life.

Originally, his comeback was to help yes.

But now, not only did he not help yes, but he dragged yes into the quagmire.

Maybe Ibaka is better starting now than him starting!

This is also the public opinion expressed by many media experts recently.

Since he feels so bad for Kidd, why not start Ibaka?

Give his offensive opportunities back to yes and other Sonics players.

Even if the upper limit of the Sonics' strength will be reduced by doing this, at least it will return to the regular season lineup. In the regular season, the Sonics and the Lakers can still be 50-50.

Will I be a substitute in this game?

Durant gritted his teeth.

When he was practicing fancy dribbling skills and thought of this, the basketball fell out of control.

Another drop!

After his comeback, his shooting feeling and shooting movement adaptation have been recovered, but his dribbling feeling has still not been recovered.

Compared with before the injury, his dribbling cannot be said to have declined. His long-stepping dribbling has not declined, and even his speed of weight gain has not declined. With the space to change directions, his move is stronger than before. In the past, he was elegant and not too thin, so he would be knocked around by defenders. But now, as long as he starts, the opponent wants to use collision to defend him. Totally impossible!

The key is the space to dribble!

With space he can dribble better than before.

But when there is no space and small skills are needed, he is weaker now.

He often dropped the ball, was often intercepted, and even fell to the ground three times when Kidd asked him to dribble in the last game.

Kidd was very sensitive to his dribbling problem. When he wanted to break through with the dribble, Kidd gave him a certain chance, but did not give him any space. Kidd made him doubt his life.

"kd!"

Durant, who was about to pick up the ball, stopped.

Looking back, at this time, players from the University of Washington such as Yes, Master Romar, and Curry were behind.

This is Curry's voice.

Although his popularity is very poor with the Seattle SuperSonics.

But at the University of Washington, he was very popular.

His eldest son is even Curry’s godson.

He has a good relationship with these players at the University of Washington, and of course he has full respect for Master Romar.

Durant can see from the eyes of Master Romar and Curry that they care about him.

With everyone so worried, Durant felt that he was really useless.

Not only did I betray yes's trust, but I also made my friends worried.

"KD, are you going to use these methods to deal with Kidd in tonight's game?"

"yes."

Coming back from his thoughts, Durant gritted his teeth and looked at Master Romar and nodded.

Does Master Romar have anything to teach me?

Durant was a little confused and a little hopeful.

What made Durant a little puzzled was that after Master Romar and Curry showed concern for him and left, he didn't even guess what Master Romar had taught him.

Am I overthinking it?

Durant looked at the back of Master Romar and the others as they left, his face full of doubts.

"KD, you are taller than Kidd, and your weight is bigger than Kidd. You don't have to do anything complicated on the court. Kidd is a good touchstone. You can try starting from tonight's game. Simplify your offense, sometimes simplicity is better than complexity."

Looking at the back of Master Romar.

Looking at the back of Supersonic No. 14 who stopped and left with Master Romar without even looking back.

Durant's puzzled face slowly showed an expression of surprise.

simplify?

Simplify the complex? !

Could this be what Master Romar meant when he said that just now? !

As someone who has a good relationship with the University of Washington, Durant certainly knows that Master Romar likes this kind of thing that allows players to think for themselves, but Yes's character is very gentle, and he despises players the most because he guesses Master Romar's thoughts. , so the tactical system of the University of Washington was taught to Curry and Cole by yes after he understood Master Romar's intention.

He used to mock Curry and Green for being stupid for this reason.

Of course, the ridicule is well-intentioned.

Just kidding.

For example, Green often teases his son for looking like Rondo...

Damn it!

My girlfriend looks like Rondo, and my son looks like my girlfriend. What can I do? !

"Reducing complexity into simplicity..."

Durant murmured to himself and then had a clear understanding in his heart.

"What did Master Romar say to Durant just now? It seemed like Durant was deep in thought?"

"I don't know, but no matter how powerful Master Romar is, it's impossible to enlighten Durant's characteristics with just one sentence, right?"

"That's true. It's amazing that a gold medal undercover agent can be enlightened by just a few words. Doesn't that mean that a bunch of trash can be educated?"

"Most head coaches in the history of basketball are not capable of teaching trash, except Master Romar. Do you think Curry, Green, and Thompson are not trash enough?"

"Don't forget, Master Romar is the Yes in the coaching world!"

"I think Durant might be able to surprise the whole world tonight!"

"..."

In the training hall of UC University, the surrounding reporters were silent for a moment.

It can't really be that magical, right?

Can rotten wood really be carved casually?

"Phil, according to the news from the front, Master Romar gave Durant guidance at the Seattle SuperSonics training facility. After Durant was taught by Master Romar, Durant had a look of enlightenment on his face!"

In the Los Angeles Lakers training facility, Phil Jackson is preparing seriously for the game.

The battle to become a god is definitely not to be missed!

It must be taken most seriously!

Therefore, not only the training of the Los Angeles Lakers cannot be relaxed, but also the spy information ahead.

Master Romar is a special advisor to the Seattle SuperSonics according to media reports.

Master Romar gave Durant guidance at the training ground. Of course, there is no surprise.

The key is that after giving the guidance, Durant had an epiphany?

Do you want to brag like this?

Even if Master Romar is recognized as the best in basketball coaching circles, he has the ability to carve out useless things.

But a useless Romar master like Curry also worked hard for three years before winning the championship!

Did you enlighten Durant, the gold medal undercover, in just one sentence?

Phil Jackson really didn't believe it.

You know, the trap he created for Durant was not a trap of strength.

To be honest, in terms of strength, Kidd takes the lead in defending Durant!

Not as tall as Durant, not as heavy as Durant, and not as fast as Durant. Apart from experience and defensive skills, Kidd has almost no hardware conditions to defend Durant.

The reason why Kidd succeeded, and was so successful, was entirely because of psychological warfare!

Durant's hard power has reached a bottleneck, and he reached a bottleneck when he defeated Artest and the others.

Durant's strength has reached a bottleneck where he needs to understand basketball.

The bottleneck of understanding fast and slow, complex and simple.

He never doubted that Master Romar could also see through the trap he had created with Kidd.

But there is no need to worry about others discovering the trap he created!

Durant's offensive talent is not that of Jordan's. Jordan can instantly understand these bottlenecks without any obstacles. He can have an epiphany. That's because Jordan's offensive talent was the first in history before the emergence of yes!

Kobe's offensive talent is already very strong, right?

After being prompted by him, it took a month or two to initially understand these things.

Is Durant’s offensive talent comparable to Kobe’s?

Do not make jokes!

Durant's offensive ability is forcibly fed by yes with the ball and shot rights. Players who are forced to improve will never be able to break through because of their extreme talent.

I’m talking about players like Durant!

yes has helped Durant break his limit, but this talent limit in understanding basketball is even more difficult to break.

Even if it were to break through, Durant's talent would be impossible to comprehend in less time than Kobe.

A moment of enlightenment?

What a liar!

Phil Jackson is confident.

This must be Master Romar's psychological warfare!

It made him doubtful and felt that it was no longer useful to use Kidd to defend Durant. I hope he can change his formation!

Use psychological warfare to force me to change my formation?

Phil Jackson snorted in his heart.

This psychological warfare is really good.

However, although his strength is not as good as Master Romar, he is an expert among experts in psychological warfare!

Even Master Romar's number one licker Kobe has to admit that his heart is indeed dark.

"Phil?"

"Don't worry, tonight's game will go according to our plan, and tonight will be our night of glory!"

In the past two days, Phil Jackson has really felt at the peak of his life!

This feeling is so wonderful!

Especially when media across the United States began to speculate that Master Romar would temporarily serve as a consultant for the SuperSonics, media around the world were hyping up the news about him vs. the two highest-status head coaches in NBA and NCAA history.

For a time, his limelight even truly overshadowed the two leading players, Yes and Kobe.

In so many years in the NBA, whether with the Bulls or the previous OK Lakers, he has never received such treatment.

In the past, no matter how many championships he won, the spotlight was always on Jordan and OK.

As a nine-time championship coach, the spotlight is on him for the first time. Do you think it's sad or not?

How sad he was before, how reluctant he is now!

This game with the SuperSonics must be won!

No matter what, we must defeat the joint coaching of Master Romar and Old Nelson!

On the evening of June 1, 2009, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

It's been a roller coaster ride for Lakers fans and fans in Los Angeles lately.

After Game 5, Lakers fans felt desperate.

After Game 6, it was the Sonics fans' turn to despair.

It is precisely because of this that in the past two days, although Lakers fans want to be arrogant because of the reversal of the situation, they dare not be arrogant.

Damn, I was really scared!

This round of the Western Conference Finals was so heart-wrenching.

Originally, they thought the Lakers had a great chance.

Who knew Master Romar would actually end up!

Although they don't believe in their hearts that Master Romar can be so miraculous.

But they who didn't dare to be arrogant at first were even more afraid to be arrogant.

So after the game between the Sonics and the Lakers started, the nervous SuperSonics fans and the Lakers fans who didn't dare to be arrogant made the entire Staples very quiet.

Even after half the game, the scene was still quite quiet!

Of course, the game was already halfway through, and the fans’ reasons for being quiet were completely different from when they started.

Looking at the score of 59 to 56 on the sidelines at this time, even Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box looked dull.

Moreover, at this time, the fans at the scene and the dull reporters on the scene were not looking at the players from both sides who were still standing at the scene.

All of their eyes were fixed on the middle-aged white man standing on the sidelines on the big screen, surrounded by University of Washington players.

Lorenzo Romar!

8 of 14 shots, 22 points!

This is Durant's first half data!

"Is it really that amazing?!"

Phil Jackson's face looked equally dull as he looked at the big screen.

The peak of my life can't really be so short, right?

22 points on 14 shots at halftime...

In the silence of the audience, Ye Si looked at the figure of Supersonic No. 35 with a satisfied expression on his face.

Very surprised and very satisfied.

After experiencing so many setbacks, I can really get through it in one click...

Durant's offensive talent did not disappoint him.
