Durant's Unrestricted One-on-One!

Durant's Unstoppable Isolation! The two rushed toward the right low post.

Durant came to a sudden stop, completely ignoring Tony Allen in front of him. He gathered the ball and prepared to rise for a pull-up jumper.

"A moment of carelessness can cost you everything!"

Tony Allen's eyes narrowed as he struck quickly, precisely, and ruthlessly.

The instant Durant gathered the basketball in front of him and prepared to jump.

Slap!

He stripped the ball clean away.

Durant still went up, throwing his whole body into an exaggerated motion as if he had been hit on the arm.

But a sideline official stood at the baseline, watching the two closely.

He had seen it very clearly.

Tony Allen's steal had been completely clean. There was no foul at all.

Durant's acting failed to convince the referee.

"Whoosh~"

The arena erupted in an instant.

"Did you see that?

Tony Allen stopped Kevin Durant once again! That's why I said his defense is better than Sefolosha's!!!"

"Indeed.

Durant's isolation ability is renowned throughout the league.

Forget Tony Allen—even DPOY-level players have a hard time guarding him.

But Tony Allen has defended him brilliantly tonight.

Based on tonight's performance alone, he's a championship-caliber defensive enforcer, a player better than Sefolosha!"

"..."

The fans discussed it while backing up their arguments with facts.

Of course, some people believed Su Yan and Durant were not even on the same level.

Su Yan was stronger than Durant.

Sefolosha could guard Curry and contain a championship-caliber second option.

But trying to stop Su Yan, the "Current #1 Player," was obviously a whole different level of difficulty.

But no matter what.

This was Madison Square Garden.

On the Knicks' home court, Tony Allen was undoubtedly more popular and received louder cheers.
