A compilation of six of the NBA's greatest point guards!

Chapter 69 The speed of the Ford Center, Durant's standing stick!

Alston's defense was even worse than the scouting report predicted, and Zeng Zhen had no trouble dealing with him.

Alston looked rather grim; he had been humiliated by Zeng Zhen.

"Well done," Durant said coldly as he passed by.

"KD, watch how I crush him," Zeng Zhen smiled.

To become an excellent point guard, in addition to playmaking ability, you also need to have good individual offensive ability, and Zeng Zhen is obviously one of the best.

Zeng Zhen's current system evaluation is All-Star level, and he is better than Alston in every aspect.

Alston dribbled the ball up the court and looked at Zeng Zhen, who was guarding him, and said, "Rookie, don't ask for help. One-on-one, I'll make a fool of you."

Although Zeng Zhen is famous, he is an Asian defender. Alston has played against many Asian defenders and has defeated them all without exception. As a result, he has a fixed impression of Asian defenders.

Zeng Zhen ignored Alston's trash talk; the guy thought he was the core player and kept babbling on and on.

Zeng Zhen waved to his teammates, indicating that they didn't need to double-team him; he would defend Alston one-on-one. He was more agile and faster than Alston, so defending Alston wouldn't be difficult for Zeng Zhen.

After Alston feigned passing to McGrady and Artest on the perimeter, he received the ball and attempted to change direction against Zeng Zhen.

But Alston soon discovered that Zeng Zhen could keep up with him and would occasionally make steals, making him feel threatened.

"As expected, this guy's offense is average and can be easily defended."

Seeing that Alston couldn't get past Zeng Zhen, Yao Ming quickly came up to double-team him. However, Zeng Zhen anticipated this and stepped around Yao Ming's screen in advance. Just as Alston was about to break through on the right side, Zeng Zhen snatched the ball from behind Alston and slapped it with his long arm.

"Snapped!"

The advantage of a long wingspan became apparent; it was very advantageous when making steals, and the ball was poked by Zeng Zhen into Collison's arms.

Collison passed the ball to Zeng Zhen.

"Counterattack!!"

Zeng Zhenyi gets the ball.

"They intercepted it."

"The Thunder's transition offense!"

"Let's see how we fight?"

"Westbrook and Durant are flying on both wings."

"The Rockets' defense was too far forward; McGrady was beaten by Zeng Zhen's crossover."

The three of them burst into action instantly, moving at incredible speed!

"Whoosh!!"

Artest was the only one who returned to his own half to retreat on defense.

Artest felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the three young men rushing towards him.

The speed at which these three players switched positions completely left the rest of the Rockets behind.

Zeng Zhenchong crossed half-court, drawing Artest's defense and passing the ball to Durant on the right front.

Durant then moved the ball to Westbrook, who was in a better position on the left side, without stopping.

Westbrook got the basketball, grabbed it with his backhand, leaped into the air, and executed a tomahawk dunk with his waist fully extended.

"box!!"

The rim wobbled as Westbrook slammed it against the ground.

That dunk was brutal, fully showcasing Westbrook's talent.

4 is better than 15

The Thunder scored consecutively, narrowing the gap between the two teams. Although Zeng Zhen did not have an assist in this possession, he can be said to have orchestrated these two possessions.

"Wow, that was well done!"

"So fast!!"

"Zeng's defense was fantastic, and his counter-attack speed was incredibly fast."

"That was a fantastic counterattack, Russell's dunk was amazing."

For the first time, fans at the Ford Center experienced the incredible speed of the Thunder's young players.

Westbrook waved to Durant and Zeng Zhen on the court, and Durant nodded slightly. He had been frustrated since the beginning of the game, but this possession was a little better.

Adelman on the sidelines didn't stop the game; after all, he wasn't Popovich.

"Hehehe, the Thunder's counterattack is here, this is going to be interesting."

"Zeng Zhen has performed well during his time here."

"We hope our viewers will follow the game and also send us text messages to communicate with us. Send your support for the Thunder (A) or the Rockets (B) to 10669999086 nationwide.

"After the match, we'll draw a lucky audience member from our phones via text message. I'll shout 'Start!' and Coach Zhang will shout 'Stop!'"

...

"The Thunder can't win."

"Zeng Zhen can't lead this Thunder team."

"They're all a bunch of young players, how can they compete with the Rockets?"

Despite the Thunder's comeback, most fans still don't have high hopes for them. The Thunder's image as a weak team is too deeply ingrained. Therefore, in the poll, 85% of fans believe the Rockets will continue to win.

On the field.

Alston launched another attack, but this time, he didn't dare to challenge Zeng Zhen one-on-one. Instead, he passed the ball to McGrady on the right side of the three-point line.

McGrady held the ball with one hand, his eyes drooping as he looked at Durant in front of him.

At this point, his physical condition was not as good as before. His long-standing lower back stress fracture and left knee tendinitis had become chronic problems. His athletic ability, first step speed, and stability of pull-up jumpers had declined significantly. He was transitioning from a talent-based playing style to an experience-based one.

At the start of the game, he made things very difficult for Durant, but Durant gradually found the right techniques to defend McGrady.

McGrady took a step to the right to try and shake off Durant, but failed. However, he still took a three-pointer over Durant from a step away.

Durant's long-arm interference was in place.

"box!!"

The basketball slammed heavily onto the backboard. Collison blocked Yao Ming, and Westbrook leaped up and rushed in, securing the rebound before Scola could reach it.

Westbrook dribbles the ball forward.

"I've figured out your offensive style." Durant's trash talk was simple and direct.

McGrady's face darkened: "You haven't scored a single point yet."

"Don't worry." Durant never worries about his scoring; that's his livelihood.

Durant felt great defending McGrady, so he set a screen for Zeng Zhen. The Rockets switched, and Durant went to the free-throw line and boxed out Alston before calling for the ball from Westbrook.

This is misaligned, give it to me right now.

Although Artest was now guarding Zeng Zhen, Westbrook didn't even look at Durant. Instead, he habitually passed the ball to his UCLA teammate Zeng Zhen, leaving Durant speechless.

Fortunately, Zeng Zhen realized that it was Durant's shooting range. After receiving the ball, he simply lobbed it high to Durant, allowing Durant to exploit the mismatch against Alston.

Durant caught the ball by raising his hand forward and then swung around to face the basket for an attack.

Alston is frustrated; now they're targeting him.

Durant adjusted his posture after receiving the ball and, without shaking off Alston, pulled up for a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Durant made the shot.

Zeng Zhen got the first assist.

"Good message." Durant nodded to Zeng Zhen.

Durant felt that Zeng Zhen understood him very well and was well aware of the essence of his stick-standing technique.
