Chapter 31
【31】17 points in a single quarter, Harden is anxious!
Thunder has the ball.
Westbrook advances with the ball, reaches the top of the arc, and passes it to Durant on the right.
""Bang!"
Durant received the ball, faced Jackson, took a step forward, suddenly stopped, moved half a body away from him, and took a decisive mid-range shot after catching the ball.
""Wow!"
Jackson rushed forward, but Durant's arms were too long, and with his height advantage, he could barely interfere.
""Swish!"
The ball flew out and hit the target.
The Thunder was formerly the Seattle SuperSonics.
"After Ray Allen left, Durant joined the Supersonics as the second pick. In his first year, he was the team's best player. In his second year, the team was renamed the Supersonics.
In his third year in the league, he became the core of the team and his own abilities became stronger. His unparalleled scoring ability made his popularity rise rapidly.
""Swish!"
Still on the right side, Durant hit a 3-pointer from the top of the arc.
Then, he caught the ball at the free throw line, forced a strong attack under the basket, and hit the high rebound over Ellis' head in the mid-air confrontation.
"drink!"
"The ball was blocked in the face, how could it be hit?"
Ellis was somewhat helpless.
Although he was the leader of the Warriors, he was still far behind Durant in talent. Facing Durant's offensive, he had no ability to defend. He scored
3 goals in a row.
Durant scored 7 points alone
"oh!"
"Durant is awesome!"
"After the offseason, Durant seems to have improved again. With Westbrook and Harden this year, it's hard to say.......Maybe we can make the playoffs." The Thunder team cheered and talked about it.
"Durant is so talented!"
ESPN commentator Mike Breen sighed, and Van Gundy took over and nodded in agreement:"Yes, he has the height of a power forward, but can break through like a guard and shoot very accurately!"
"Such a player is really difficult to deal with!"
"Look......"
As he was speaking, Van Gundy suddenly pointed at the court and shouted,"Wow~ Su Mo tore through Jeff Green's defense, set the sky on fire, and dunked successfully!""
"boom! This dunk is so cool"
"It was Su Mo again. He received the screen and bypassed Jeff Green's defense. He encountered Durant's defense in the penalty area. What should the rookie Su Mo choose? Wow~ He actually chose to pull up over Durant's head?!"
"Is there? Hit"
"Wow~ Su Mo is really brave, he scored 3 goals in a row and returned a 6-0. Moreover, less than half of the first quarter had passed, and Su Mo had already scored 8 points."
"Su Mo, the rookie, performed just as well as Durant.
"Haha, what a confident rookie!"
Durant took a look at the basketball bouncing under the basket, then locked his sights on Su Mo and looked at him a few more times.
"That's only 8 points?!"
On the bench,
Harden stared at Su Mo, wondering when he could play and perform better than Su Mo to prove that he could start instead of......Substitute.
On the field
"Bang!"
Westbrook made a"zombie jump shot". The jump was indeed high, but the hit rate was really bad. The ball bounced out of the rim. However,.....
""Swoosh!"
Westbrook rushed to the basket like a thunderbolt, grabbed the ball and shot it, and made a tip-in. His amazing physical fitness made Mike Breen and Van Gundy smack their lips.
The ball was transferred.
Ellis attacked Sefolosha from the left side with the ball, turned his back to get rid of him, and when he wanted to attack the basket, Durant's help defense followed and immediately passed the ball
""Pop!"
Jackson caught the ball and threw it high.
""Bang!"
But he missed the shot, but Su Mo rushed out from the wing, jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand, and once again got ahead of center Kostic and completed the tip-in.
"Good shot!"
Ellis raised his arm, rushed to Su Mo and rubbed his head.
Jackson was also excited, rushed to Su Mo and slapped him, shouting:"Rookie, stop getting in the way, you are going to steal my limelight."
"You are not accurate enough."
Su Mo spread his hands.
On the Thunder side, Durant was in the low post on the right side, facing Curry, taking a step back, pushing Curry back, turning around and shooting. The weak Curry could only sigh.
""Swish!"
Durant scored again.
Warriors have the ball.
Curry pushed the ball forward and passed it to Ellis.
"Su Mo, attack for you!"
Ellis passed the ball again, Su Mo received the ball at the top of the arc, faced Jeff Green, pretended to jump up, and shot a cold arrow
""Bang!"
No.
Jackson grabbed the rebound and passed it to others,"Su Mo, continue!"
"Wow!"
Su Mo received the ball, moved sideways, and shot another 3-pointer. This time he had
"Beautiful!
Jackson was very excited, while Ellis shook his head,"He said that Su Mo stole his limelight, but he still passed the ball to him."
Then, in the next attack,
Ellis attacked with the ball, broke through the outside line, and looked for Su Mo. Su Mo received the ball and opened his hand to make another 3-pointer.
"" Swish!"
Durant, who was staring at Su Mo, flashed from the wing and stretched out his arms like a gibbon, trying to block Su Mo and teach this young rookie a lesson.......
"Wow!"
Su Mo suddenly passed the ball sideways
"Bang!"
At the top of the arc on the left, Curry came out to catch the ball and shot a 3-pointer.
""Shua!" hit
"What a beautiful pass!"
Mike Breen shouted excitedly in the commentary booth, and Van Gundy also looked excited,"Su Mo, the rookie, has already scored an amazing 13 points in the first quarter."
""Beep-beep!"
A wave of offensives forced the Thunder to call a timeout, and the atmosphere in the arena became even more heated. After the timeout, Harden finally got a chance to play.
Seeing Su Mo score 13 points and receive countless cheers, he couldn't wait to show himself, even if it was just a preseason game.......
The more anxious he was, the more he wanted to prove himself, the more counterproductive it was.
In the second half of the first quarter, he took 3 shots in total, but he didn't hit even one.
On the other hand, Su Mo.
