Chapter 376 Responsibility (Continued) (Second Change)
Durant sat on the interview seat, stared down at the data sheet in his hand for a while, then slowly raised his head, took a few deep breaths, and his chest heaved and heaved a few times before finally calming down.

Due to the presence of reporters, he couldn't express his emotions, but after seeing the team's statistics, dissatisfaction still flooded his heart.

Although Durant's performance in this game was not impeccable, it was good enough. He played 43 minutes, made 21 of 11 shots, 7 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 30 points 4 efficiently. With rebounds and 3 assists, he played the role that a super scorer should have.

In contrast to his teammates, Westbrook scored 28 points, but he took a full 26 shots and only hit 9 goals. The efficiency was extremely low, and he relied entirely on 9 free throws to support his efficiency.

Harden's performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory. He made 11 of 5 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. After 35 minutes, he only took 11 shots, almost one-third of Westbrook's. He was invisible on the offensive end for a long time, and his presence was very low.

Not to mention the other teammates, none of them scored more than 5 points. Perkins missed all 2 free throws at the last moment. It was a crime. Durant looked at their statistics and couldn't help thinking The urge to shred the data sheet.

This is simply a crime!

But when Durant was angry about his teammates' poor performance, he intentionally or unintentionally ignored that he sent 9 turnovers under the attack of the Heat tonight.

Of course, even if Durant saw it, he would attribute it to his teammates' lack of offensive threat, allowing the Heat to double-team him unscrupulously, so he made so many mistakes. Strategy, then he will definitely be able to kill the Quartet and dominate the arena.

Without keeping Durant waiting too long, the reporter was quick to ask the question:
"KD, today you lost to the Heat by 3 points. You scored 30 points, but you also made 9 turnovers. What do you think of your performance tonight?"

Durant said familiarly:

"As you can see, I've given my all on the court, but the Heat have surrounded me very tightly, making it difficult for me to score every time, and I think I need to continue to improve my passing... Teammates are more reliable, I don’t have to play so tired, and I still have 9 turnovers? Why don’t you look at my shooting percentage?)”

Another reporter asked:
"Russell scored 28 points today, and James scored 12 points. Other than that, everyone else scored less than 5 points. What do you think of this phenomenon?"

Durant heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said:

"Obviously, their condition is not very good, I believe they can adjust back, the team needs their performance, relying solely on me, Russell and James to score, can't win the ball... (How do you think? I don't want to See them! Same with Russell and James, they suck, if they get a few more points, I wouldn't lose to LeBron James!)"

"Good evening, KD, LeBron scored 34 points today, what do you think of his performance?"

Durant didn't answer right away. He looked down at the Heat's statistics table, raised his head, and said with a half-smile:
"He played really well, I have to give him a lot of respect, LeBron is the leader of the Heat, he took his own responsibility, beat us at our home ... (huh, pass when behind, lead He is the only one who can do it when he is playing a three-pointer. If it were me, I would not pass the ball at the last moment even if it was all ironed out. That is, that guy Russell is always hot-headed and won’t pass to me. Ball, Shet...)”

This is, a middle-aged reporter asked:

"KD, I just got the news. Just 2 minutes ago, the Warriors lost 94:98 to the Grizzlies on the road. Stephen Curry scored 33 points. Any thoughts?"

"Warriors? Oh, that's right..." Durant was a little confused at first, but after the reporter finished speaking, he immediately understood what the reporter meant.

In the first half of the season, Durant and Curry were two of the three most popular candidates for MVP, and the other was James. The calls for Curry to win the MVP are getting louder and louder. Zhang Yu also goes off the field to build momentum. After every game, Curry and the MVP are bound to be linked together. Even Curry himself said that he should win this year's MVP.

This is obviously the Warriors building momentum for Curry's MVP vote, and the Warriors have also maintained the league's first record. Curry also ranked first in scoring. He naturally became the biggest favorite for MVP.

But reporters are not the only ones who can only sing praises. The four words they dislike the most are "undisputed". , Reporters also have to create controversial topics, of course they will not let go of Curry and Durant, the pair of "old enemies".

Durant didn't watch the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies, but when he heard the news that the Warriors lost, he couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed.

The Thunder have been losing to the Warriors for the past two years. Durant's first playoff trip was postponed for a year because of the loss to the Warriors; he ranked second in the scoring competition after Curry; Eliminated by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs... Durant found that all his failures were related to the Warriors, which made it difficult for him not to hate this team.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"I don't know the specifics of this game, but Steph scored 33 points, he should have played very well, but still lost the game, I am very sorry for that... Bear! Let you also experience this feeling of isolation and helplessness, but I lost to the Heat, and you lost to the Grizzlies. From this point of view, I am still better...)”

After Durant finished the interview, Westbrook and Brooks were interviewed successively, and their answers were the same as Durant's, quite satisfactory.

……

After that, it was the Heat's turn to be interviewed, and James was the first to sit in the interview booth.

The reporter asked:
"LeBron, congratulations to the Heat for winning the game. Your performance tonight was very versatile. You scored 34 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block. Can you tell me what made you perform so well? ?”

James looked down at the statistics table, smiled slightly, and replied familiarly:

"Thank you, I just play well on the court. Anyone who knows me knows that I have never been a person who cares about statistics. Winning has always been my first goal. As long as I can win, I don't care whether I score more or less... …(It’s a pity, there are only 3 rebounds short of a triple-double, well, if there is one more steal, 30+10+5+5 is not bad...)”

Another reporter asked:
"Good evening, LeBron. When Kevin Durant was interviewed just now, he thought that you had taken on the responsibilities of a leader and led the Heat to victory. How do you evaluate Kevin Durant's performance tonight?"

James pondered for a moment and replied:
"It's an honor to be praised by him, but I just did my job. My duty is to lead the team with Dwayne and Chris and continue to win. You can also see that in the last 2 minutes I was rejected. When it was strictly guarded, it was Chris and Dwayne who scored and helped us achieve the comeback... (Did that kid do it on purpose? What would Dwayne and Chris think when he said I was the 'Heat leader' in front of reporters? Even if some things are true, you can’t tell them! Are young people so naive now...)”

He paused and continued:

"Kevin's performance tonight was phenomenal. He scored a lot of points and was very efficient. He showed amazing talent in the game. He is a peerless talent. I am looking forward to the next match with him... (This kid is really too immature, he only has scoring in his eyes, he can’t pass the ball at all, and he panics when he is double-teamed, next time I play the Thunder, I can guard him from the beginning of the game, and there will definitely be more steals There are quite a few...)”

At this time, the reporter asked the last question:
"LeBron, 10 minutes ago, the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies 94:98. Stephen Curry scored 33 points. We all know that you were injured and left the game against the Warriors this season. Did you pay attention? How about their situation? What do you think of this game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies?"

Upon hearing this question, James slowly sat up straight, no longer leaning on the back of the chair, chuckled and said:

"I saw this news just now. Except for Stephen, the Warriors don't seem to be in a good state, but I still want to congratulate the Grizzlies. They defeated the league's first. This is a very remarkable achievement. I did it... (Well done, Grizzly, the next time I meet you, the Emperor will show mercy...)"

He laughed at himself, and said:

"Losing to the Warriors was a long time ago. I am now focusing on the Heat's game, and I don't know much about the Warriors. They seem to have lost a few games recently, right? I hope they can get back to their form as soon as possible. As for me Injured and left, it was just an accident, nothing to say, this kind of thing happens to everyone... Guys, are you starting to lose now? Isn’t the Warriors number one in the league? It’s best if the Warriors can make it to the finals this year, I’ll definitely ‘entertain’ them...)”

After answering all the questions, James said goodbye to the reporters with a smile on his face and left the news room.

After he experienced the "decision" and "cough", he knew the importance of guiding public opinion. Since then, he has never expressed his true thoughts in front of the media.

Of course, in the game, James sometimes can't help "showing his true feelings", such as when he hit Leonard with an elbow when he was playing the Warriors.

James returned to the locker room and packed up his things. Wade and Spohristella also finished the interview and returned to the locker room.

"Hey, Dwayne, do you want to have a drink together later?" James put his arm around Wade's shoulder, and at the same time waved to Bosh enthusiastically, "Chris, together? Relax."

Before coming to the Heat, James was very close to Wade, Anthony and Paul, and even got the nickname of "Four Heroes".

Many people think that this nickname is "reputation", but it is actually because when James, Wade and Anthony came to China's Las Vegas to prepare for the Olympics in 2008, they went to the local bathing and massage center together and had an in-depth exchange with Vietnamese female technicians. Photo It also made the headlines of the Las Vegas Daily, which is why it has such an "elegant name".

Later, Paul and the three of them got close and often played together during vacations, so they were pulled in and became the "Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust".

After James joined the Heat, his relationship with Wade became closer and he also brought Bosh in. This is his habit. He will mention Bosh and Wade in any matter or sentence to show the three of them equality of status.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bosh is in a weak position among the Heat's Big Three, but on the bright side, he, like Wade and James, is the leader of the Heat.

Wade hesitated for a moment and said:

"I want to go too, but there are only a few nightclubs in Oklahoma, just in case you meet someone from Thunder..."

Bosh also advised:

"LeBron, go to the nightclubs when you get back to Miami. The nightclubs in Oklahoma are too small to be interesting."

Seeing that neither of them wanted to go, James shrugged helplessly:

"Okay, let's talk about it when we go back. Memphis is also very boring. It's better to go to Miami. I really want to go back quickly and celebrate..."

Wade puzzled:
"LeBron, the Thunder are in the West, and we have no intersection with us. It's no big deal to win them?"

James laughed:
"Of course it's nothing to win the Thunder. Durant and Westbrook are both immature and not our opponents, but the Warriors lost. Isn't this worth celebrating?"

"Good loss!" Bosh said coldly, "Green intentionally hurt you, but there was no punishment, he deserved to lose!"

Wade frowned and said:

"LeBron, I understand your feelings. Green is really hateful, but our opponents are the Celtics, the Bulls, and the Spurs. You know, the Warriors rely on three-pointers and can't go far in the playoffs."

James patted Wade on the shoulder:

"Relax, Dwayne, I understand what you mean, the championship is the most important thing, everything else can be put aside, but do the Celtics still need our attention? Green abolished Garnett, the Celtics People are even about to fall out of the playoffs, but the Warriors have always been the number one in the league, it is not impossible to enter the finals, they are our potential opponents."

"Then what if the Celtics happen to fall to seventh in the Eastern Conference and match us?" Wade asked rhetorically.

James was taken aback, then sneered:
"I hope so. It would be best for the Warriors to enter the finals. Didn't someone say that we often lost to the Warriors in the regular season in the past two years? It happened to be able to kill the Celtics and the Warriors together, and settle old and new grievances together. Completely crush the doubts from the outside world!"
