Chapter 895: This Peak of Life Is Somewhat Short-Lived!

The sixth game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers was a turning point for both teams.

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

As the team that was previously favored but now looked down upon, the pressure within the SuperSonics is still very high.

Especially Durant.

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

He wants to lift the championship trophy with Yes!

Instead of falling down halfway like last season.

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

So when he returned to play against the Mavericks, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

His mind was full of fantasies of lifting the championship with Yes after his efforts.

The idea of ​​doing a big job filled his mind.

But after returning, he realized how cruel this world is.

In the end, he was forced to use a big loop.

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

It was very difficult to play.

In the Western Conference Finals.

His performance still did not improve much.

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

I thought that after the fifth game, I could easily pass Artest and his group of Lakers forwards, but who would have thought that Kidd would suddenly come in the sixth game!

This guy is really annoying!

In the last game, he was even forced to use a big loop again at the end.

In the end, even the big loop was useless!

Even the strongest defensive players would find it difficult to escape his big loop at the beginning, and it takes time to adapt.

But Kidd, there is really no need to adapt at all, and his big loop is useless to Kidd.

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

Originally, his comeback was to help Yes.

But now, not only did he fail to help Yes, but he dragged Yes into the quagmire.

Maybe Ibaka is better as a starter than him!

This is also the recent public opinion of many media experts.

Since he is so uncomfortable with Kidd, why not let Ibaka start?

Give his offensive opportunities back to Yes and other Supersonics players.

Even if the Supersonics' strength ceiling will drop by doing this, at least it will return to the regular season lineup. In the regular season, the Supersonics and the Lakers can still be evenly matched.

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 uncontrollably.

Another drop!

After his comeback, his shooting feeling and shooting action adaptation have been found, but his dribbling feeling is still not found.

Compared with before the injury, his dribbling has not declined. His long-stride dribbling has not declined. Even because his weight gain rate has not declined, his large-scale change of direction, as long as the opponent gives him space for a large-scale change of direction, his move is stronger than before. In the past, he was elegant, not too heavy and too thin, and would be knocked around by defensive players, but now, as long as he starts, it is impossible for opponents to use collisions to defend him!

The key is the space for dribbling!

His dribbling is stronger than before when there is space.

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

He often drops the ball and is often intercepted. In the last game, Kidd even fell to the ground three times when he asked him to dribble.

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

"KD!"

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

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

This is Curry's voice.

Although he is not popular in the Seattle Supersonics.

But he is very popular at the University of Washington.

His eldest son is even Curry's godson.

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

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

Durant feels that he is really useless because everyone is so worried.

Not only did he fail Yes's trust, but he also worried his friends.

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

"Yes."

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

Does Master Romar have something to teach me?

Durant was a little confused and a little expectant.

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

Am I overthinking?

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

"KD, you are taller than Kidd, and you weigh more than Kidd. You don't need to be so complicated on the court. Kidd is a good touchstone. You can try to simplify your offense starting from tonight's game. Sometimes simplicity is more useful than complexity."

Looking at the back of the man following Master Romar.

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

Durant's puzzled face slowly showed a surprised expression.

Simplify?

Simplify the complex? !

Is this what Master Romar meant by what he said just now? !

As someone who has a good relationship with the University of Washington, Durant certainly knows that Master Romar likes to let the players think for themselves, but Yes has a gentle personality. He hates players guessing Master Romar's thoughts the most. Therefore, the tactical system of the University of Washington is taught to Curry and Kerr by Yes after Yes understands Master Romar's intentions.

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

Of course, this kind of ridicule is well-intentioned.

It's just a joke.

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

Damn it!

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

"Simplify the complex..."

Durant muttered to himself and then had an epiphany.

"What did Master Romar say to Durant just now? It seems that Durant seems to be lost in thought?"

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

"That's true. A gold medal undercover was enlightened with just a few words. That's amazing. Doesn't that mean that a group of garbage can be educated?"

"Most head coaches in basketball history don't have the ability to educate garbage, except Master Romar. Do you think Curry, Green, Thompson and others are not garbage enough?"

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

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

"..."

In the university's training hall, the reporters around were silent for a while.

It can't be so magical, right?

Can dead wood really be carved casually?

"Phil, according to the news from the front, Master Romar instructed Durant in the training hall of the Seattle Supersonics. After Durant was instructed by Master Romar, he showed a look of enlightenment on his face!"

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

The battle to become a god must not be missed!

It must be taken seriously!

So not only the training of the Los Angeles Lakers cannot be relaxed, but also the spy news in front cannot be relaxed.

According to media reports, Master Romar is a special consultant of the Seattle Supersonics.

Master Romar instructed Durant in the training ground, which is of course not surprising.

The key is that after the instruction, Durant suddenly realized it?

Do you want to brag so much?

Even if Master Romar has the ability to carve useless wood recognized by the basketball coaching community.

But Master Romar also carved a useless wood like Curry for three years before winning the championship!

Durant, the gold medal undercover, was enlightened in one sentence?

Phil Jackson really didn't believe it.

You know, the trap he set for Durant is not a trap of strength.

To be honest, Kidd defended Durant with his head!

He is not as tall as Durant, not as heavy as Durant, and not as fast as Durant. Kidd has almost no hardware conditions to defend Durant except experience and defensive skills.

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

Durant's hard power has reached a bottleneck, and he entered a bottleneck when he beat Artest and others back.

Durant's strength has reached a bottleneck that requires understanding basketball.

Understanding the bottleneck of fast and slow, and understanding the bottleneck of complexity and simplicity.

He never doubted that Master Romar could also see the trap he set with Kidd.

But he didn't have to worry about others discovering the trap he set!

Durant's offensive talent is not Jordan. Jordan can understand these bottlenecks instantly, without any obstacles, and can have an epiphany. That's because Jordan's offensive talent was the best in history before Yes appeared!

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

It took me one or two months to understand these things after he pointed them out.

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

Don't be kidding!

Durant's offensive ability was forced out by Yes using the ball and shooting rights. Players who are forced to grow will be stuck in one place and never break through because of their extreme talents.

I'm talking about players like Durant!

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

Even if it is to be broken, Durant's talent cannot be shorter than Kobe's time to comprehend.

Instant enlightenment?

You're kidding!

Phil Jackson is very confident.

This must be Master Romar's psychological warfare!

Make him doubt and feel that it is no use to use Kidd to defend Durant. I hope he can change the formation!

Use psychological warfare to force me to change the 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 Kobe, the number one licker of Master Romar, has to admit that he is really black-hearted.

"Phil?"

"Don't worry, tonight's game will go according to our plan. Tonight is our night of glory!"

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

This feeling is really wonderful!

Especially when the media across the United States began to hype Master Romar's temporary role as a consultant to the Supersonics, the media around the world were hyping the news that he alone vs. the two most active head coaches in NBA and NCAA history.

For a time, his limelight even really overshadowed the two player protagonists, Yes and Kobe.

In all these years in the NBA, whether in the Bulls or in the previous OK Lakers, he has never received such treatment.

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

As a head coach of nine championships, the spotlight is on him for the first time. Do you think it's sad?

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, Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Recently, it has been like a roller coaster ride for Lakers fans and coconut powder in Los Angeles.

After the fifth game, Lakers fans felt desperate.

After the sixth game, it was the turn of Supersonics fans to be desperate.

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

Damn, it was really scary!

This round of the Western Conference Finals was too much for the heart to bear.

Originally, they thought the Lakers should have a great chance.

Who knew that Master Romar was actually off the court!

Although they did not believe in their hearts that Master Romar could be so magical.

But they were even more afraid to be arrogant, even more so.

So after the game between the Supersonics and the Lakers started, the nervous Supersonics fans and the Lakers fans who dared not to be arrogant made the entire Staples Center unusually quiet.

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

Of course, the game was already halfway through, and the reason for the silence of the fans on the scene was completely different from the beginning.

Looking at the score of 59 to 56 on the sidelines at this time, even Barkley and Kenny Smith on the commentary stand had a dull look on their faces.

And at this time, the fans on the scene and the dull commentators on the scene, their dull eyes were not for the players on both sides who were still standing on the scene.

All of them were dull eyes on the white middle-aged 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 data in the first half!

"Is it really so amazing?!"

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

My peak of life will not really be so short, right?

22 points on 14 shots in the first half...

In the silence of the whole stadium, Yes looked at the figure of No. 35 of the Supersonics with a satisfied expression on his face.

Very surprised and satisfied.

After experiencing so many setbacks, he can really get it right at once...

Durant's offensive talent did not disappoint him.
