The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 159 Healthy Competition

After all, the Thunder still did not retreat from the six-game streak.

After defeating the Celtics, on January 1, the Thunder came to Washington to challenge the Washington Wizards!
At this time, the Wizards, under the leadership of Wall, have officially entered the reconstruction period.

So far this season, they have achieved an astonishing 1 win and 13 losses, almost facing each other with the Thunder.

However, in this game, no one expected that the Thunder would capsize in the gutter.

The main reason why the Wizards are so fierce is that in this game, Nick Young broke out.

That's right, it's Yang Shaoxia who left the legendary expression pack "Black Question Mark Face"!
As the saying goes, let him be strong and let him be strong, I, Nick Young!
Yang Shaoxia doesn't care if you are number one in the league or "Thunder Five Young Masters", I'm playing the elite!

Facing the defense of Sefolosha and Harden tonight, Yang Shaoxia made 10 of 6 three-pointers and scored 32 points.

In addition, Jordan Crawford, the super sixth man on the bench, also performed well, scoring 25 points efficiently.

The Wizards played crazy at home today!
On the other hand, the Thunder, because they are too tired from consecutive away games, and the Celtics just fought to the end of the last game, have no outside touch tonight.

Even though Li Pu and Durant scored 58 points together, they still failed to save the team.

In the end, the Wizards defeated the Thunder 105:102, ending the Thunder's eight-game winning streak.

Lin Shuhao was no longer miraculous tonight, and only scored 6 points. In the direct dialogue with his fellow No. [-] pick, he fell into a disadvantage.

On the plane returning to Oklahoma City from Washington, the whole plane was silent except for snoring.

This kind of away game is the most exhausting. This kind of exhaustion is not only physical, but also psychological.

After a long journey, every time I come to a new environment, I have to enter the competition before I have time to adapt. Occasionally it is fine, but there are about ten times a month, and the individual will be exhausted.

Not far away, Westbrook's snoring woke up Li Pu. He glanced at the time and it was only 1:03, which was still early, so he got up and stretched.

This kind of airliner, even the first-class cabin, is still a bit small for Li Pu, so it is difficult to fully stretch the body when sleeping, and it is necessary to relax after sleeping for a while.

I looked out the window, but it was still pitch black, maybe it was in the clouds, and I couldn't see anything.

Li Pu got up and bent over a little. If he couldn't stand up straight, he would hit his head.

Not only the cabin, but going to the toilet in the plane is even more uncomfortable. God knows how he finished using the toilet?
However, it can also be seen from this that unless the plane's toilet is doubled, Li Pu will never experience what it feels like to travel thousands of miles a day.

Walking cautiously from the toilet to the seat, I saw a light in the darkness.

The computer screen shone on the black face, with only two white eyes hanging in the dark night, which frightened Li Pu awake in an instant.

At this time, the black face lifted up, and the bushy beard immediately revealed his identity.

"What's wrong?" Harden wondered.

"What are you doing? Stay up so late, scare me to death! Wait, are you watching..."

Almost instantly, Li Pu felt that he was possessed by Conan, as if he had realized the truth all at once.

"Look at what?"

"Still pretending? You must know how to share good things! Good people will live a safe life!"

As he said that, Li Pu came to Harden's side in two steps and took a look. It was a video of the game.

Well, a real basketball game video!

"Uh, that's it!"

"Yes! Otherwise?"

Harden felt that he couldn't communicate with Li Pu, and couldn't understand what the other party was talking about.

"It's okay, just keep watching!"

Li Pu patted Harden on the shoulder, motioning him to continue watching, but he turned and left.

In the last few games, Harden's performance has not been good, and he has completely lost the excellent state he had at the beginning of the season.

In fact, this is also understandable. After all, shooting is something that depends on the state and feel. What's more, in other aspects, whether it is organization or breakthrough, Harden has done an excellent job.

It was really nothing at first, but with Lin Shuhao's fiery performance in the last few games, Harden still had pressure.

After all, the position of Lin Shuhao's team is similar to that of Harden. They both need the ball in their hands to play comfortably. Tan Huaxiu, who often fights so abnormally, really shouldn't!
Of course Li Pu knew what Harden was thinking, but he didn't say much.

Although Harden's mental quality is average, even later, in the most critical games, he often pulls his hips, but his ability is beyond doubt.

And it is also a good thing to have Lin Shuhao as a catfish, which can make Harden more sense of crisis, even though the two are almost completely different in terms of ability!

But as long as Lin Shuhao continues to put pressure on him, Li Pu believes that he will turn the pressure into motivation.

"Oh, I see, you thought I was looking at that..."

At this moment, Harden's sudden realization came from behind Li Pu, which made Li Pu slip and almost fell.

Then, Li Pu hurried back to his seat, and said nothing more.

Sure enough, Harden's strength is beyond doubt.

After returning to Oklahoma City for just one day of rest, the Thunder ushered in a challenge from the Pistons at home.

Facing this team with only 4 wins and 13 losses, the Thunder certainly had nothing to say. They beat the opponent 31:12 in the first quarter, and beat the opponent in almost one quarter.

At the end of the half, the point difference was widened to 27 points.

After the starters played for about 6 minutes in the second half, all the main players were replaced.

In the end, the score was fixed at 106:79, and the Thunder won another big victory.

Harden rebounded strongly today. In just 25 minutes of playing, he made 11 of 8 shots and scored a game-high 24 points. His efficiency was frighteningly high.

And unlike Lin Shuhao who worked hard to score 20+ points, Harden's scoring is as simple as drinking water, strolling around the court, swaying around, making two random shots, and scoring 20+ points.

It feels like there is no power at all, and the game is over.

In addition to Harden, Durant and Westbrook also scored 20+, and Li Pu only scored 12 points and 8 rebounds.

The reason why Li Pu played so poorly tonight was mainly because he was facing Daben, which really made Li Pu very uncomfortable.

Although Li Pu is 20cm taller than him, Li Pu is still at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

When he faced Daben with a hook, he was often held up by Daben, and his technical movements were deformed.

It seems that my own training is also not in place, and there is still a long way to go!
However, compared to the weakness on the offensive end, Li Pu is still extremely brave on the defensive end.

Although four of the Pistons scored in double figures, none of them scored more than 15 points.

In the penalty area guarded by Li Pu, it is even more difficult for them to score than to reach the sky!
