Chapter 663: Chapter 474: I Can’t Tell Either Chapter 663: Chapter 474: I Can’t Tell Either The Supersonics never explicitly stipulated how many shots each player should take.

Last season, Fei achieved an unprecedented efficiency with an average of fewer than 19 shots per game, scoring 28 points.

The reason for this was that in his third year, Roy had matured further. He was not only able to share ball-handling responsibilities but also needed them to complete his transformation. Meanwhile, in his second year, Durant leveraged the decrease in Fei’s shooting attempts to score an average of 20 points per season.

For Durant, the number of shots he got in his sophomore year was satisfactory.

But human desire is a pit that cannot be filled.

No matter how much you put into it, the desire only grows larger, never to be satisfied.

Durant did not hope to have more control over the ball than Fei, but he believed that he had proven himself to be the second player on the team during training camp.

As the second player, his number of shots should naturally rank second.

This seemed to be a logical matter, but there were many difficulties to overcome.

One reason is that as a combo guard, Roy’s biggest difference from a traditional point guard is that he must maintain aggressiveness.

If a combo guard only has the ability to organize and coordinate without aggressiveness, then he is merely a pure point guard.

Every player known as a combo guard typically exhibits much greater offensive skills than organizational abilities and habitually utilizes personal attacks to initiate plays, thereby facilitating the team’s offense.

Roy was such a player, hence he needed to have shooting rights.

This made it difficult for him to sacrifice his shots to help his teammates because he himself needed to attack to find his rhythm in the game.

In the subsequent third game, the Supersonics’ sophomore guard, Anthony Morrow, showcased his improvement.

As a second-round pick, Morrow wasn’t highly regarded during the draft. Although he was a decent shooter, he had many off-court issues in college.

.co

Presti picked him because his style fit the Supersonics. Using a second-round pick on a reformed wild card wasn’t considered a big risk.

After lying low during his rookie season, Morrow began to emerge in his second season, shooting decisively and defending toughly, completely overshadowing the veteran Michael Finley and securing a major rotation spot.

In the third game against the Suns, Morrow hit 4 out of 6 from beyond the arc, scoring 15 points, becoming a powerful scoring point for the Supersonics from the outside.

Fei took 20 shots to score 35 points, Roy achieved a double-double, Durant went 7 for 14 to score 18 points, and Bosh scored 14 points and 6 rebounds on 9 shots.

The distribution of shots for the Supersonics seemed even and rational.

George Karl believed it was the perfect distribution for the current stage.

Having made a painful transition from being the first option on the Raptors, Bosh now averaged only 14 points and 7 rebounds per game, completely lacking the demeanor of the Eastern Conference’s leading power forward from his Raptors days.

“From my first day here, Frye told me to be prepared to make sacrifices,” Bosh’s words were as enchanting as Celine Dion’s song in “Titanic,” “As long as we are on the right track, it’s all worth it.”

Starting from the opening game, checking post-game statistics had become a habit for Durant.

Tonight, he scored fewer than 20 points.

His average stats were only 16 points and 5 rebounds, significantly less than last season’s 22 points and 6 rebounds.

The problem was, he believed he was far stronger than last season.

But if it didn’t show in the statistics, it was all for naught.

The Supersonics returned to their home court.

Fei was interviewed outside the airport by the Seattle Times.

Durant, silently carrying a backpack-like small backpack, had his approachable image ingrained in people’s hearts after years of crafting it.

Thus, the media often took an unrestrained approach in front of him.

They wanted everything from Durant, and if he ever expressed dissatisfaction, his image would no longer be reliable.

“Kevin, how do you view some basketball experts’ opinion that you have not made much progress in your third season?”

Durant remained silent.

This was exactly his most vulnerable spot.

Though visibly upset, he still had to respond in a way that Kevin Durant would.

“It’s only been three games this season, and it’s too early to make judgments about me,” the son of America said smilingly, “but thanks to them for motivating me.”

Reporters were always casual in front of Durant, often displaying a disrespectful attitude.

But such incidents never occurred with Fei.

The Seattle Times reporter asked cautiously.

About the current state of the Supersonics, about the future of the team, and about “Fei’s view on the empire.”

“That’s a big question, what do you mean by empire? Is it the product under Reebok, or the brand endorsed by Brandon and others, or is it that concept you have been discussing for a while?” Fei said majestically, “Do you really think I should have an opinion on this?”

After the interview, the players were about to get on the team bus.

Outside the airport, however, a large group of people held a protest.

“What else has the mayor done?”

Kwame Brown looked on as if watching a drama.

“It’s MCCAIT (Make Civic Concerns More Important).” Roy said, “They’re coming for us.”

Regardless of whether the Supersonics succeed this season or not, the team plans to submit a financing plan for the new arena to the city government at the end of May or June next year.

The city government will then vote to decide whether to approve it or not.

Given the Supersonics’ current reputation in Seattle, it’s foreseeable that the financing plan will be approved.
