Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 211 It’s so bad that even the boss can’t stand it
As expected, after Artest took away some of the ball possession, Suwan's scoring dropped a bit. So far this season, he averaged 26.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game.

But the efficiency is amazing!

With a shooting percentage of 52%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and a free throw percentage of 85.4%, he is almost able to enter the "180 Club".

But there is no way. For scorers like them who mainly attack the basket, it is really difficult to maintain their touch continuously.

Just look at the players who have entered the "180 Club" now and in the future:

Larry Bird, Steve Nash, Calderon, Mark Price, Kevin Durant, Nowitzki, Brogdon, Kyrie Irving...

Most of them are players who are good at shooting and finishing with shots.

Including Kevin Irving, although he is a master of breakthrough, his final finishing methods are often "jelly layup" and "flopping shot".

There are very few attacks on the frame of "non-violent non-cooperation".

The only exception is Kevin Durant.

However, although he has many dunks, in general, he prefers to solve problems with shooting.

There is no way, shooting is his option with the most shooting space.

With a height of over 2 meters and a wingspan, even a standard power forward height may not be enough to cause interference.

With his body coordination and ball-handling ability, it would be a waste of talent to let him stay under the basket!

To be honest, from the perspective of later generations, the title of "once in 20 years" on Greg Oden's head should be given to Kevin Durant.

Before Xiao Shuai entered the league, no player of his height could attack with the ball like him. Even Kevin Garnett, who was known for his "small forward style", could only bow down to him.

Including Wen Banyama, who was later called "Kevin Durant with enhanced static talent", it turns out that he is more threatening to play under the basket with more muscles. His body coordination with the ball and speed are still far behind Durant.

As long as Wenban Yama does not suffer any injuries, he will definitely be a "super giant" level star in the future, and it is even possible for him to go one step further and become the face of the team.

But the way he dominates the league is definitely not like Kevin Durant.

He is more likely to become an enhanced version of Bill Russell on the offensive end, and using defense to dominate the league may be more suitable for him.

However, even if he did not enter the "180 Club", Su Wan's efficiency was already terrifying.

There are currently 25 players averaging more than 6 points per game.

There is only one person with an average shooting percentage of more than 50%...

That’s him, Su Wan.

The player with the highest field goal percentage among the others is LeBron James, averaging 48.7%. - It is worth mentioning that his average points per game is also the highest in the league at 30 points per game.

If Su Wan remembers correctly, LeBron James was originally the "scoring champion" this season.

It is this "scoring champion" that his fans have been emphasizing: "If LeBron James doesn't have the ability to score, how can he win the scoring champion?"

When Su Wan saw this before he traveled through time, he found it hard to refute.

But now he knew why.

Because the "super scorers" who were originally ahead of him now have strong reinforcements.

For example, Kobe originally had Pau Gasol, which meant he had to give up some of the ball possession, and his scoring would naturally decline; needless to say, Allen Iverson, he partnered with Carmelo Anthony and went to Anthony's territory, so it was naturally impossible for him to take on everything.

As for the rest, Wade was injured, Arenas also suffered from injury problems...

These "super scorers" all need to give up the ball or cannot play, which leads to the situation of "when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king".

As for the current situation, although LeBron ranks first in the average scoring list, the second is Wade, who has not been injured this season and currently averages 29.7 points per game, only 0.3 points behind him.

The new season has only been going on for a month, and this gap is really not that big. If we can put in an explosive performance, we can overtake them easily.

In Suwan's opinion, Wade most likely doesn't even need to exert any effort, and LeBron will fall down on his own.

because……

Vince Carter only scored 19.5 points in his first month.

This is a far cry from his average of 25 points per game last season.

Although Vince Carter spent the second half of his career enjoying the game and was not that aggressive.

But judging from what Suwan said about Vince Carter's own statistics in the media, he has not yet reached the stage of enjoying the game and not caring about the statistics. In fact, Carter is only 30 years old now, and he certainly still hopes to play a "retirement contract" with enough statistics, and then start to enjoy life.

Once he starts asking for the ball, LeBron's points per game will inevitably decline.

It has even started to decline...

In the last three games, Vince Carter's average score reached 23.3 points, which is 4 points higher than his average score, while LeBron's average score in these three games dropped to 28.3 points. His average score this season was originally over 30 points, but because of these three games, his average score dropped back to 30 points.

The important thing is...

In these 3 games, the Cavaliers have 1 win and 2 losses!
What’s more interesting is that after losing these two games, the Cavaliers dropped from fourth in the Eastern Conference to fifth in the Eastern Conference.

On December 12, the league announced the "Player of the Month Award" for November.

There are rumors that if the Cavaliers had not lost two more games at the end of the month, the "Player of the Month" for the first month in the Eastern Conference would have gone to the highest-scoring LeBron James.

After all, in addition to averaging 30 points per game, he also had 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

The data is really exploding.

But because of losing two games at the end of the month, the Cavaliers fell out of the top four, with only 2 wins and 10 losses, which was too far behind the Pacers. In the end, the award fell into Suwan's hands.

Winning an award is a very satisfying thing in itself. After seeing these rumors that the award originally belonged to LeBron and was snatched away by him, Su Wan felt even happier!

He also discovered something very interesting...

The top five in the East are:

Indiana Pacers;

Boston Celtics;
Orlando Magic;

Detroit Pistons;

……

Then there is the Cavaliers in fifth place.

seriously.

As for the names of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference, Su Wan wanted to give them the BGM when LeBron releases Payne.

The pressure is too great...

Not to mention LeBron, if Suwan was LeBron, he would immediately run away and swim to the South Coast.

These guys are so damn restraining him!
If we don’t join the team, what will our old James do?

If LeBron still had a 0.01% chance of reaching the finals when he was with the Cavaliers, then now...

If he doesn't stick with a team, he will definitely die in Cleveland.

西部的“月最佳”属于科比-布莱恩特，场均25.4分6篮板4助攻1.5抢断，投篮命中率48.5%。

This season, the "Black Mamba" can be considered a rich man.

Pau Gasol on the left and Yao Ming on the right.

After the early season run-in, the Lakers went on a run of 1-2 wins and 11-game winning streak, ranking first in the Western Conference and already two games ahead of the second-placed Spurs.

Under such circumstances, even though David Stern always had higher expectations for Kobe due to the external pressure caused by the Eagle County incident, the "Player of the Month" had to be given to Kobe. The Los Angeles media shouted the slogan "Kobe should be the regular season MVP this season" at the right time.

Then experts from all walks of life stood up and endorsed Kobe.

Originally, Kobe was supposed to be the regular season MVP this season, but there was a lot of criticism. Many media outlets believed that if it were not a matter of seniority, then Chris Paul should be the regular season MVP this season.

"Chris Cannon" lost mainly due to seniority.

This also makes sense.

Originally, the Hornets, led by Chris Paul, finished second in the Western Conference this season, and Paul had the best season of his career, averaging 21.1 points, 11.6 assists and 2.7 steals per game.

However, it should be difficult to cause controversy this time. With Pau Gasol and Yao Ming, Kobe can get at least 70 wins this season...

This record alone is enough for him to win the regular season MVP!
After all, the Lakers have never won 70 games in a single season in their history.

If we don't get 70 wins...

Then let Kobe retire directly!

Originally, the combination of Kobe, Pau Gasol, Bynum and Odom could win 65 games.

Now replace Bynum and Odom with Yao Ming, and you tell me we can't win 5 more games?
That would be a waste of the "trio" with such integrated technical characteristics.

Su Wan didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Anyway, he knew very well that this season's regular season MVP should have nothing to do with him.

He is studying his opponent for his first match in December.

It was none other than the famous, future "Grim Reaper" Kevin Durant!
The head coach of the SuperSonics this season is PJ Carlesimo.

Yes, that’s the head coach who let the “madman” choke him.

Many fans don't know his origins.

In fact, he is also considered a senior head coach in the NBA, and... he is at a super high level!

In 92, America formed the "Dream Team".

The head coach is Chuck Daly.

The coaching staff includes Duke's "Old K" and then Carlesimo, who is also rising in the NCAA.

His rise to fame is a bit like that of the future "young coach" Stevens, who led a less famous school team all the way to the NCAA finals and won the championship, becoming famous overnight.

He is a head coach who was already famous during the "Old K" era.

For this reason, he has many common characteristics with NCAA head coaches:
I like developing new people!
He noticed that Kevin Durant was good at shooting but not good at attacking the rim, so he boldly put Kevin Durant at the second position.

Yes, you read that right. In his first season in the league, “Xiao Shuai” played not as a small forward or a power forward, but as a shooting guard.

The NCAA head coach really dares to think and act!
Suwan thus became the direct opponent of Kevin Durant.

We must give this future "Grim Reaper" a good welcome tonight.

Meanwhile, Kevin Durant was browsing the pre-game coverage of the Pacers and SuperSonics online.

He wanted to see what netizens thought of his first matchup with Su Wan.

Well, I mainly wanted to see if there were any netizens who believed he could perform well against Su Wan. The result:
"Is Kevin Durant the big, dumb guy who couldn't do a bench press at the combine? How is he going to play against Suwan?"

"Honestly, I think it's incredible that Kevin Durant can score 10 points against Su Wan tomorrow!"

"If Kevin Durant wants to retire after this game, I won't be surprised at all!"

"I remember he seemed to be called the most terrifying scoring machine after Michael Jordan, but after watching a few of his games, I felt that he was not terrifying at all, and I even wanted to laugh. The NBA has another 'Iron King'!"

……

Kevin Durant, who originally wanted to interact with netizens in a friendly manner through text messages, looked at the comments in the news and clenched his hands into fists without him noticing.

These bitches!

Is there no one who thinks highly of me?

"How can Kevin be so weak..."

Just say it!
Kevin Durant finally saw a post praising him, but the smile on his face froze before it bloomed. The next content of the message was:
"Oh, you're talking about Kevin Durant? Hey, I thought it was Kevin Garnett! So... who is Kevin Durant? I just got out of jail, and I remember the boss of the SuperSonics wasn't Gary Payton?"

rough!
Kevin Durant finally couldn't help it.

He swore that he would put in a good enough performance tomorrow to tell everyone who Kevin Durant is!
The next day the game arrived.

Kevin Durant walked through the home team's player tunnel very seriously. The moment he entered the court, he was startled by the noise on the scene.

so many people?

In the past month or so, he had never seen the stadium filled with fans. At most, the auditorium was only about 70% to 80% full.

How about tonight...

Full?
Could it be that word of my recent 20-plus point average has spread, and everyone wants to see me, the super rookie?

Well, it's very likely!
An excited Kevin Durant wants to pick his nose.

But reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

A man stood up from the opponent's bench:

With yellow skin, black hair and a strong body, you can feel his "kingly aura" just by standing there.

It was none other than Su Wan!
Kevin Durant immediately thought of the messages from those guys yesterday and was so angry that his teeth were itching.

But at this moment, a huge cheer came from the audience.

Co-authored…

Are you all here to see Su Wan?
Yes!

Kevin Durant's teeth are almost broken.

New grudges and old grudges added together.

He must perform well in this game.

Carlesimo noticed Kevin Durant's excited expression and knew that he had the dangerous idea of ​​performing well in front of Suwan.

He couldn't say that this idea was wrong.

Newbie!
After all, you have to experience more before you can grow.

But before the game, he pulled Kevin Durant in front of him and told him earnestly: "You can try to play well in front of him, and you can also try to defend him, but even if he insults you with the most disgusting words in the world, absolutely, don't use 'trash talk' to him!"

Carlesimo's original intention was to remind Kevin Durant that the person he was facing tonight was dangerous.

But his look of facing a formidable enemy and the end of the world made Kevin Durant very unhappy, and he cursed in his heart:
Are you my head coach or his head coach?

How can you boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige?
Is he taller than me?

It’s still longer than my arm span!
Look at my long legs, and then look at the anger in my eyes!

I will show you what the "Talent of the Seattle Savior" is later!
His even more unconvinced look caught Caresimo's eyes, causing the old coach to close his eyes in despair.

pill!

"Beep!" He was about to say a few more words when the buzzer sounded and the game officially began.

O'Neal Jr. defeated the Sonics' center Nick Collison in the jump ball and successfully grabbed the first attack for the team.

Tinsley dribbled across half court and passed the ball to Suwan.

There was a huge cheer immediately at the scene.

Kevin Durant looked like he had seen a ghost.

no……

He had been with the SuperSonics for such a long time and had never seen so many fans come to the scene to cheer him on. The volume of the cheers was something he had never heard before.

Is this really...

Kevin Durant jumped down from a tree like a mountain monkey, running towards Suwan with his teeth and claws bared.

result……

"Bah!"

The first moment of contact, Su Wan hit him in the chest with his elbow.

"Uh, ah..."

Kevin Durant was in so much pain that he could hardly scream.

no……

He knows that the players in this league are pretty dirty.

After one month in the league, he is no longer the little white rabbit he once was.

But wasn’t Su Wan too cruel?

He just felt his body frozen in place, watching Su Wan pass by him and complete the shot with a "quick stop jump shot".

"I heard that you are the runner-up this year?" After Su Wan was hit, he looked at him with curious eyes, as if he was trying to find out the reason why he became the runner-up.

Durant saw four words in his eyes:

It shouldn’t be!

At this moment, Kevin Durant's cheeks were hot enough to cook noodles.

Red and warm!
Red and warm!
Just looking at Su Wan, Durant felt that it was more damaging to his self-esteem than all the trash talk he had ever heard combined, and made him feel extremely insulted.

He immediately said, “If you can win a championship by fighting, I can be selected second in the first round!”

When he spoke, his voice was full of steel.

What he didn't see was that when his head coach heard him retort to Su Wan, he immediately covered his face with his hands.

It's over, it's over!
This newcomer, whom he was quite optimistic about, might lose his dream.

Kevin Durant was actually very nervous when he spoke, and his lips were trembling a little.

This was the first time he talked trash to his opponent.

There was no way, it was Su Wan who insulted his draft pick!
This is what he cares about most.

Because this is where he has been questioned the most since entering the league.

This became his most sensitive nerve.

No matter who it is, if they dare to question him in this regard, even if it is Michael Jordan, he will fight back.

But Su Wan's reaction made him a little confused. If he was not mistaken...

Is he laughing?
Is he laughing?
What a weirdo!

Kevin Durant didn't understand.

And Su Wan...

Can you stop laughing?

The new season has been over for a month, and this is the first time someone dares to talk back at him. He can finally start "The zone".

Without further ado, Su Wan directly entered the "The zone" mode.

Suddenly, the long-lost feeling surged into his whole body.

Is this how it’s supposed to feel?
Su Wan has been trying to open the door directly, so he has been trying hard to recall the physical feelings in "The zone" during this period.

At this moment, when he turned on "The zone", by comparing the two feelings, he quickly discovered some of his own problems.

Kevin Durant!

What a...good person!

In order to repay him, Su Wan naturally wanted him to feel what the top power in this alliance was like and how far he was from that level now.

Only by knowing the gap can we make better progress!

You're welcome, this is all free!

Kevin Durant was playing the No. 2 position at this time, and his shooting style was similar to that of an ordinary No. 2 position, mainly catching the ball and shooting while running. - Here is a misunderstanding to correct. In the old basketball concept, the small forward was the one who held the ball and used various techniques to send the ball into the basket, while the shooting guard, also known as the shooting guard, was mainly responsible for defense and catching the ball and shooting.

Klay Thompson is a typical "traditional No. 2 position".

Carmelo Anthony is also a very typical "traditional three position".

Looking at the playing styles of Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Hisashi in "Slam Dunk", you can actually see the difference between the playing styles of the third position and the second position.

The first player to blur the lines between small forward and guard was none other than Michael Jordan.

He does the work of both a small forward and a guard.

Therefore, there was a very popular term in those years called "swingman".

Then Scottie Pippen took on the job of point guard, allowing the "all-around forward" to officially enter the stage of history.

Then, someone did all these tasks and monopolized the "data pie"!
This is the evolution of history...

After the concept of position blurring came out, the division of labor in each position is no longer so rigid. Instead, it depends on the ability each team needs in each position and looking for suitable players.

The most typical Warriors team, the task of organization falls entirely on center Green.

Kevin Durant still plays in the "traditional No. 2 position" and his off-ball running ability is not that good. Later, after Brooks took office, the main tactic was to give him an off-ball screen and let him get the ball.

Then Kevin Durant can choose to shoot directly, or make a breakthrough or a jump shot after a "double change of direction".

The playing style is very efficient and simple.

Kevin Durant has not yet mastered the "double change of direction", but catching the ball in an open space with the help of a screen has become his main method.

But this time, just as he got it, he saw Su Wan immediately appear in front of him, defending him closely and constantly destroying his lower limbs.

Kevin Durant was staggered and couldn't even pose in the "triple threat" posture. The moment he was forced to leave the ball, Suwan's pressure became even more fierce.

With a "snap", Kevin Durant was about to pass the ball to his other hand from behind, but Su Wan saw through him and directly stole the ball.

Turn around and run back, and then...

"Bah!"

Easy dunk!

Kevin Durant listened to the cheers of the audience, stared blankly at Su Wan standing next to him again, shook his head, and said to him: "No, Kevin, why don't you have any roots!"

He knew that Kevin Durant must be very weak during this period.

But he really didn't expect that he was so weak.

I thought he didn't do a single push on the bench press at the combine, and that was intentional.

But now it seems that it may not be intentional.

Even if he could push it, one or two would probably be the limit...

It’s better not to do it!

Kevin Durant blushed and tried harder to get rid of Su Wan behind him and wanted to give a response.

The more impatient he is, the more obvious his subconscious reaction is when he is running. These small movements that reveal his movement are what the Sonics coaching team has been helping him change. Usually it seems that the training effect is good. Kevin Durant has done a good job of restraining some of his bad habits.

But at this moment he was too anxious, and Kevin Durant made a lot of unnecessary and obvious movements while running. Not only were they not confusing, but they also had clear direction.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for tall players to become experts in off-ball running. Mobility is one aspect, but the biggest problem is that the "forward swing" is too obvious.

Coupled with the lack of strength in the lower limbs, it would be really life-threatening!
Kevin Durant was completely stared at by Su Wan in the following time. After his old mother slapped him, Kevin Durant never felt that playing basketball was such a difficult thing.

He would rather go back to study than face Su Wan and play this damn game.

At the end of the first half, Kevin Durant only made 7 of 1 shots and scored 2 points. He also made 4 turnovers, 3 of which were intercepted by Suwan.

In addition to 5 steals in the first half, Su Wan also scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. He had a great time.

As for the score difference, it has long exceeded 20 points.

If nothing unexpected happens, the game can be called off halfway through the third quarter!

Su Wan felt the urgency of time, so at the beginning of the second half he worked even harder to let Kevin Durant know what the NBA is!

Kevin Durant, who had already struggled in the first half, lost the desire to live in the second half.

Carlesimo watched Kevin Durant turn into a "walking corpse". When the score difference became 30 points, he quickly called a timeout, replaced Kevin Durant with five players in and five out.

Suwan finally gave Kevin Durant a "love blow": "Kevin, if I were the owner of the SuperSonics, after watching this game tonight, I would probably sell the team!"

There is no doubt that this critical hit directly knocked away 999 points of Kevin Durant's health. He sat on the bench like a defeated rooster.

However, the fans at the scene didn't care at all that the Supersonics lost by 30 points. When they saw Suwan being replaced by Rick Carlisle, they actually shouted Suwan's name collectively, hoping that he could continue to play.

Carlisle did not ask Su Wan's opinion.

Who do people from Seattle think they are?
Su Wan would definitely not come back on the court just to please them.

At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Supersonics by 107 points, 77 to 30, and left Seattle overnight with their first victory in December.

Kevin Durant didn't know how he got home. Exhausted, he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, but suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.

He had a dream. In the dream, Su Wan's face was pressed in front of him, and he kept repeating to him:

"You don't deserve this position!"

"You don't deserve this position!"

"The owner of the SuperSonics will sell the team because of you!"

"The owner of the SuperSonics will sell the team because of you!"

……

This scene directly woke Kevin Durant up.

The moonlight poured through the window onto the windowsill, making a vast expanse of silver. Kevin Durant tilted his head and opened his mouth to look at the moon in the sky.

He saw a flash before his eyes, and Su Wan's face suddenly appeared in front of him. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.

The first matchup with Suwan really left a shadow on Kevin Durant.

He now understood why Carlesimo had so seriously advised him before the game not to talk trash to Suwan.

This guy is really...

Ridiculously strong!

What made Kevin Durant even more frustrated was that this was only their first game against Indiana this season, and they would face off again next time.

Do I have to go through this pain again?
"Xiao Shuai" really thinks it's better not to make money from the NBA!

What made him even more upset was that the next morning he turned on the news channel as usual, and heard the host say: "Supersonics owner Howard Schultz has officially decided that he will sell the Seattle Supersonics..."

When hearing this, Kevin Durant's eyes widened.

The "trash talk" Su Wan had sprayed at him quickly popped up in his mind:
"Kevin, if I were the owner of the SuperSonics, after watching this game tonight, I would probably sell the team!"

Yes……

Is this the reason?
In fact, there have been rumors for a long time that Schultz wanted to sell the SuperSonics.

The reason is that the Seattle government has been reluctant to build a new arena, which has resulted in the SuperSonics still using a rented arena, which has incurred a huge amount of expenses.

Schultz has lost a total of 01 million since buying the SuperSonics in 6.

After failing to negotiate with the Seattle government again, rumors circulated that he wanted to sell the team.

Kevin Durant knows the ins and outs of these things, but...

He lost the game yesterday, and today there was clear news that Schultz wanted to sell the team.

Even though he was definitely not the main cause, he had to think in the direction Su Wan said:
Am I really so bad that even my boss can’t stand me?
Think carefully about my stats last night, 15 of 3 shots, 20% hit rate...

Well, if I were Schultz, I would go crazy too!
Kevin Durant suddenly became a little emo.

But he soon cheered up:

No, I can't be defeated like this!
No matter how many problems I have, I can correct them as long as I work hard.

Come on, Kevin, you can do it, you can definitely do it!
Continuously cheering himself up, Kevin Durant went to the gym early in the morning.

Let’s warm up with 5 three-pointers first.

Just like that, early in the morning, the KeyArena was filled with the continuous sounds of "Pa pa pa" and "Pa pa pa", which made people's adrenaline surge.

This is……

Rookie's Anthem!
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers just returned to Cleveland after a back-to-back.

At the end of November, they had a record of 11 win and 1 losses. Unfortunately, they also lost the "back-to-back" round in early December. Including these two losses, they experienced 2 consecutive losses.

LeBron's gloomy face is as ugly as it can be.

He felt that he needed to have a good talk with Vince Carter!
