The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 166
The game isn't over yet, but it's no different from the end.

At this time, the point difference between the two teams had reached 20 points. Lin Shuhao was playing with four substitutes on the court, and the starters had already been replaced. The game was completely reduced to garbage time.

On the bench, the Thunder were talking and laughing, and Li Pu and Durant were even arguing.

"Hey, give me another bite!"

"How many bites have you eaten?"

"One more bite, one last bite!"

"Then open your hand and I'll pour it for you!"

Li Pu stretched out his hand obediently, and Durant took a snack bag and poured it carefully into Li Pu's hand.

"All right!"

"That's all!"

"There's only one bite left!"

Li Pu didn't talk nonsense, and put the snacks in his hands into his mouth.

On the other side, Durant also stroked the bag, and put the rest into his mouth in one breath.

Westbrook on the side looked at the two with contempt, and couldn't help but move his butt aside, for fear that others would think that he knew them.

What a shame!

"Russell, you squeezed me!" Harden, who was on the side, complained with innocent eyes.

"..." Westbrook was speechless for a while.

"Didi!" At this moment, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 87:103. The Thunder beat the Heat by 16 points at home.

No one expected that what was supposed to be a focus battle where sparks hit the earth turned out to be anticlimactic.

With the Thunder's wave in the third quarter, the Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 20-point difference, making the entire fourth quarter a garbage time.

The Heat originally wanted to work hard at the beginning of the last quarter, but Harden's "bang bang" two three-pointers instantly brought the game to a conclusion.

Durant scored a game-high 28 points. He scored consecutively in the most difficult time for the Thunder in the first half. It can be said that he alone held the team on his shoulders.

It is precisely because of Durant that he helped the Thunder through the most difficult moment, waiting for the explosion of his teammates in the second half, and he is the well-deserved MVP of this game!

Apart from Durant, the Thunder's best performer was actually Li Pu.

Although the Heat continue to use fast defensive rotations to defend Li Pu, they cannot defend everything, especially Durant, Westbrook and Harden on the outside!

So Li Pu still got a lot of opportunities. He played 30 minutes and scored 18 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, which is quite satisfactory.

Harden and Ibaka both scored 15+ points. Only Westbrook was more hip, scoring only 11 points on 4 of 13 shots.

There is no way, he was targeted too badly, many of the balls were forced by him against others.

The original hit rate was not very good, and it was even more unreasonable to shoot against people.

Just because of Li Pu's scolding, he restrained himself a lot, otherwise he would have voted 20 times!
I have to say that the calm Westbrook scares his opponents, and the top Westbrook scares his teammates. Thanks to Li Pu who can restrain him, otherwise he would lose control many times in a season!

As for the Heat, Wade scored a team-high 22 points, and LeBron was a little underwhelming tonight, scoring 17 points while shooting 18 of 8 from the field.

Despite the loss, there was no sadness on James' face. After the game, he took the initiative to find the Thunder players, shook hands and hugged them one by one.

From beginning to end, the smile on my face never disappeared.

This made Li Pu very admired, and he was not so magnanimous.

If the Thunder lost to the Heat tonight, he would be too angry to eat, let alone bless his opponent with a smile all the way!

"Happy New Year!"

"Thank you!"

"Good game! I won't let you guys win again when we get back to Miami!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can win the finals!"

After embracing James, facing James' almost sworn words, Li Pu shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference.

"Hahaha, that won't work! This year's championship will only be us!"

"Let's see when the time comes, anyway, I don't want to retire and become a truck driver!"

In this way, the two sides were friendly and had a bit of gunpowder, and ended the chat.

"Prince, you did a great job!"

Since it was New Year's Eve in Chou Country, Lin Shuhao invited his parents and brothers to the arena.

However, his father Lin Jimin cheered for Li Pu all night.

"Dad, am I your son? Don't you cheer for me?" Lin Shuhao said dissatisfiedly.

"Didn't you always come out at garbage time? What's the need to cheer up? Follow Prince well, I'll wait to see you all wear rings on your hands!"

"Yes, Uncle, you are so right!" Li Pu chimed in.

"You are really my father!"

"Actually, not necessarily!"

Lin Shuhao's mother Wu Xinxin said what kind of hell joke, which made Li Pu break out in a cold sweat.

Who knew that Lin Jimin didn't take it to heart at all, but instead said: "That's right, how could my son be beaten so badly?"

"That's enough of you! It feels like I'm going to be expelled from the house for a while?"

Lin Shuhao's performance tonight was indeed not very good. He scored almost 20 points, made 6 of 1 shots, and scored 4 points and 2 assists.

Basically all garbage time got.

No way, with the fiery performance at the beginning of the game, all the teams noticed the existence of Lin Shuhao, so they all increased their research on him and introduced defensive strategies against him.

Therefore, Lin Shuhao didn't warm up for a few games, but he encountered the rookie wall and struggled.

Fortunately, during the recent period, Harden's thigh was still on the bench, so Lin Shuhao did not affect the performance of the Thunder's bench.

But everyone knows that in the case of Green's reimbursement for the regular season, it is impossible to count on Harden alone on the bench!

"Okay, you guys go to the interview, we will have a New Year's Eve dinner together in a while!"

After chatting with Lin Shuhao's parents for a while, Li Pu came to the venue to be interviewed by reporters.

"Congratulations, Li Pu. Today's performance is quite outstanding. This is known as a preview of this year's NBA Finals. Presumably this has also brought you some advantages in winning the championship. Is it a New Year's gift for the people of the whole country?"

"It's not that exaggerated anymore. This is just an ordinary regular season, and the title of the championship cannot be determined. We still have to play every game well. However, if this victory can make some fans in our country happier, I'm already very content!"

"Then, taking advantage of the New Year, how about wishing everyone a New Year in front of the TV?"

"Of course, there is a time difference in Ugly Country. The fans in China must have passed the New Year. I am here to wish everyone a happy New Year. I wish everyone good fortune and good luck! Besides, tomorrow, I will be at Here is a gift for everyone on Weibo, I hope everyone will like it!"

"Oh? And a New Year's gift? What is it?"

"That can't be said, it won't be announced until 9:[-] am tomorrow morning, Kyoto time. Believe me, it's absolutely wonderful!"
