Chapter 248 Small Forward Contest

Chapter 248 Small Forward Contest

Van Vleet's singles in the frontcourt.

It's a pity that the ball was fanned out of bounds by Durant who suddenly jumped out.

Durant's state in this game is really fierce.

After losing in the finals last season, Kerr once again strengthened the offensive and defensive strength of the Warriors lineup.

Looney came on the court in place of Iguodala and put pressure on the Raptors' perimeter.

Wayne Rooney's playing time has increased significantly this season.

Thompson, Durant, Rooney, and Dreaming Green all performed well on the defensive end.

In this way, Curry's defensive weakness was invisiblely covered up by Cole's tactics.

It is still difficult for Van Fleet to find a chance to single Curry.

The Raptors' attack was directly blocked by the Warriors for 24 seconds.

Being defended for 24 seconds is still very demoralizing.

Durant took the ball again, and the imposing Warriors were ready to rely on Durant to score crazily.

Ge Feng learned the lesson from last time and did not give Durant a chance to pull directly.

Ge Feng pressed very hard.

This is the second time the two have faced off in this match.

Raptors fans were a little worried.

After all, this is Ge Feng's first game since he became a small forward. If Ge Feng is blown up by Durant in this game, it will unconsciously affect his mentality in the next few games.

Durant's scoring method is very fancy, his shots are restricted, and he can still break through.

Durant suddenly accelerated and rushed to a position parallel to Ge Feng in one step.

Able to shoot suddenly, this is why Durant is difficult to be restricted.

But Ge Feng still judged Durant's dribbling trajectory.

At this moment, in Ge Feng's eyes, the ball is almost in a semi-stationary state.

"Snapped."

Ge Feng caught the ball.

But Durant dribbled the ball very hard, and Ge Feng failed to break the ball.

However, the breakthrough was directly interfered by Ge Feng, and Durant's breakthrough rhythm was interrupted instantly.

Durant stopped, and Siakam had successfully filled the position, and cooperated with Ge Feng to clamp Durant up one after the other.

A poor quality pass.

Thompson, who was outside the three-point line, obviously didn't react.

Durant tossed him the ball across his fingertips and out of bounds.

Thompson turnover +1.

"Shit!"

Thompson cursed a little unwillingly. This is not the first time he has failed to receive a low-quality pass.

Raptors fans began to cheer from the sidelines.

If the fans read it correctly, Ge Feng restricted Durant's breakthrough just now!

"Ge Feng almost broke Durant's ball..."

"It's a pity that it was almost there. If Durant hadn't dribbled very hard, the ball would have been Ge Feng's steal + 1, not Thompson's turnover + 1."

"Has Ge Feng's defense improved?"

The fans on the sidelines talked a lot, but the words were full of surprises.

Like Curry, Ge Feng was also a defensive black hole for the Raptors in the first two seasons.

If Ge Feng can make a breakthrough in defense this season, even if the Raptors lose Leonard, they may not be unable to fight the Warriors.

Van Vleet dribbled the ball across the half.

This time Van Jordan was honest and organized the team outside the three-point range.

Ge Feng came out to catch the ball, and Durant rushed up to defend immediately.

Another matchup between Durant and Ge Feng!

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, since the start of the game, Durant and Ge Feng's individual fights frequently appeared!

This is the home of the Raptors, and the fans have great confidence in Ge Feng.

"Single Durant, Ge Feng!"

"Durant has nothing to fear! Ge Feng! Believe in yourself!"

"Singles! Singles! Singles!"

The voices of the fans gradually became orderly.

All the athletes at the scene could clearly hear the neat slogans in the auditorium.

Fans want Ge Feng to play Durant in singles?It's funny!

Wasn't it because of luck last season that he won the championship once?As for expanding to the point where you don't even remember who you are?

The players on the Warriors' bench all had a sneer on their faces.

Curry responded to the fans' call and waved his hands vigorously, signaling Rooney and Green to pull the inside line away.

The Raptors' Ibaka and Siakam also vacated the inside.

This is really going to let Ge Feng and Durant play singles.

Ge Feng has played on the point guard line for two years, and he is really not used to this special treatment in the SF position.

It is a common tactic in the NBA that the small forward plays singles and his teammates vacate the inside. This is why the small forward is more enjoyable than other positions.

Ge Feng stopped the three-threat pace, because the three-threat didn't work against Durant at all.

Ge Feng started dribbling the ball, he stepped back a little, and distanced himself from Durant.

Durant has a lot of experience in defending small forwards in singles. Every time Ge Feng takes a step back, Durant will follow up with small steps, not giving Ge Feng room to break through.

The sense of distance is to examine the basic quality of a player's defensive quality.

By compressing the distance between himself and Ge Feng, Durant can avoid to the greatest extent Ge Feng's deceptive movements like changing directions in front of his body.

But Ge Feng faced Durant's dribbling rhythm, which made Durant a little frightened.

Before the start of the season, Durant never thought that Ge Feng would come to the front and back line of strong men to face him, let alone that Ge Feng could dribble the rhythm smoothly when facing him.

It seems that Ge Feng is indeed an underestimated excellent forward guard.

But just excellent, much worse.

Durant is a top player on the front line.

Ge Feng started, taking advantage of Durant's small steps, he suddenly rushed to Durant's left side.

Durant retreated, and his super long wingspan helped Durant threaten Ge Feng to dribble.

Ge Feng stopped abruptly.

Durant stopped abruptly.

After Ge Feng stopped suddenly, he hit Durant with his back.

With the power of Durant's counter-push, Ge Feng turned and fell back.

Durant stretched out his long arm to interfere.

Ge Feng didn't take off, it was another fake turn.

Stabilizing the pivot foot, Ge Feng took a step forward.

This step just passed Durant.

Ge Feng jumped up and shot.

Durant reacted quickly. The experienced Durant didn't jump up to block the shot just now, but stretched out his hands in small steps to interfere.

So, when Ge Feng took off, Durant rushed back to block the shot immediately.

Durant's defensive oppression is definitely higher than any player Ge Feng has encountered in the SF position before!

This is a top offensive and defensive performance.

"Shh."

Ge Feng was still under tremendous defensive pressure, smashing the board and scoring a goal.

The fans all jumped up, waved the fluorescent cards in their hands, and screamed for Ge Feng.

Ge Feng has completely conquered the Raptors fans. Ge Feng's popularity in Toronto seems to be higher than that of Lowry, the core of the team this season!

Durant was not discouraged. He has really grown a lot in mentality this season.

Faced with a defensive defeat, Durant immediately ran to the frontcourt and returned a three-pointer.

Durant's three-point shot was very sudden, and it was unreasonable to even say that this kind of three-pointer was scored.

God is obviously standing by Durant's side tonight. Durant's three-pointer against the sky instantly suppressed the momentum of the Raptors.

Death is coming!
