The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 55
After defeating the Rockets, the Thunder seemed to be enlightened and suddenly became unstoppable!

On the 17th, a guest at the Triangle Center Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, home of the Devils.

Facing the Jazz team that bloodbathed themselves last time, this time, the Thunder team got their shame out of it. Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka scored 20+ one after another.

Li Pu also had a large double-double with 14 points and 18 rebounds.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the Thunder finally defeated the Jazz 115:108.

On the 19th, the Thunder came to Portland again to challenge the Trail Blazers away.

At this time, the Blazers, although unable to compete for the championship, have a fairly stable record and have been in the ranks of the Western Conference playoffs for many years.

You know, the west at this time is quite wild, and the eighth in the west can be ranked fourth and fifth in the east, which is quite an exaggeration.

Although tonight, Lamarcus True Aldridge has a bit of hips, but the team's top card, Brandon Huang Mamba Roy, veteran Andre Mowenwei Miller and Nicholas Zhao Si Batum, the three scored 64 points, and the Thunder fought to the last moment.

However, when it comes to combining chops, Lei Ting has never been afraid of anyone!
Durant and Westbrook scored 70 points together tonight. It was really two kings fighting four twos.

However, at the last moment of the game, Durant gave the Blazers 2.4 seconds after the lore, and the Blazers still had a chance to counter the lore.

But when Roy caught the ball one step inside the three-point line and completed the last shot, he was rejected by Li Pu's cap who suddenly drilled out, which allowed the Thunder to lock in the final victory.

On the 20th, the Thunder finally returned to their home court to face the Timberwolves.

This season, the Timberwolves used two future first-round picks to trade for Durant's "enemy of life", Michael Beasley.

Using him to partner with "New Wolf King" Kevin Love to hit the playoffs, who knows that the result is all the way to the bottom of the league.

It's really worthy of being a wolf tube, and its performance is as stable as ever.

Facing the Thunder tonight, the Timberwolves didn't struggle too much. As the Thunder opened the point difference to double digits in the second quarter, the Timberwolves never made it back.

Facing his former defeated opponent, Beasley ignited his fierce competitive spirit tonight, and even took 20 shots in the audience, the most in the audience.

However, he only scored 7 points on 15-for-14, not as good as Milicic, who was also the second-best player in parallel imports. He ate dumplings tonight, and scored 9 points on 21-of-[-] shots. His efficiency was extremely high.

As for the Thunder, although Durant is also not very efficient, only 16 of 6 shots, but he can't stand him as the "Golden King of Laws"!

The audience scored 17 free throws and made 16 free throws, scoring a game-high 28 points.

In addition, Jeff Green and Westbrook, who returned from injury, both scored 20+.

In the end, the Thunder beat the Timberwolves 117:107.

On the 22nd, the Rockets played again at home. There was nothing to explain. After a fierce battle, the Thunder beat the Rockets again with 117:105.

In this way, after three consecutive losses, the Thunder won a wave of five consecutive victories.

However, next, the Thunder will finally start the devil's schedule, and they will usher in a wave of five consecutive visitors from the East.

People are guessing, how many games will the Thunder lose in this wave of away games?
Even, the first game is very likely to lose, and it is very likely, because they will be a guest in Boston in the first game, challenging the Celtics who defeated them last time.

When they came to Boston, the Thunder stayed at the local Hilton Suites Hotel.

It is located on the side of the scenic Charles River and the Boston Embankment Recreational Trail. It is only a 7-minute drive from Logan International Airport and a 10-minute drive to the North Shore Garden Arena.

Although this is only a four-star hotel, it has beautiful scenery and complete facilities, so it can barely stay here.

Well, this owed thought is Li Pu's, not the author's!
When it was lunch time, Li Pu instinctively prepared to ask Lin Shuhao to have lunch with him.

Usually when going out for competitions, Li Pu will live with Lin Shuhao when encountering a suite.

There is no way, the two have lived under the same roof for so long, and they have already gotten used to each other.

After waking up Lin Shuhao, the two left the room together and went to the restaurant.

Walking into the restaurant, I met several teammates eating in the face.

"Hey man!"

"what's up man!"

It was just a simple greeting, but Lin Shuhao walked up suddenly, and Green stretched out their right hands, followed by a dazzling hand gesture, and finally ended with a hug.

Then followed by Menor, another set of dazzling gestures, followed by Ibaka, White...

Lin Shuhao's gestures are completely different from everyone else's.

How did he remember all this?
After greeting everyone, Lin Shuhao seemed to remember Li Pulai at this moment, so he said to Li Pu: "Just so, you also stipulate a gesture?"

"What?" Li Pu was confused.

"This is the street culture of African-Americans!" Lin Shuhao explained.

This greeting, originally called the Secret handshake, cannot be traced to a specific date, but it is certain that it is as old as any form of greeting.

Even the biblical records show evidence of the Secret handshake, the unique handshake practiced by the Freemasons, the most well-known and enduring gesture.

However, in modern times, this kind of secret handshake has gradually become unpopular, and has been transformed into a fist touch, or "DAP" with hugs and chest bumps.

With the development of HipHop culture, DAP has also become a very street etiquette way of greeting.

The simplest Giving dap is Fist Bump, which means fist bumping, accompanied by the phrase "Hi men, what's up?", the casual and intimate feeling between buddies can be seen at a glance.

The HipHop culture innovates at a very fast speed. Whether it is a new rap lyrics or a new street dance move, it spreads like a god, and gestures too. Up to now, there are already so many types that it is outrageous.

In the NBA, a field influenced by HipHop, the performance is even more obvious. Fans know that many players will have a DAP before going on the court, and each has a different set.

The complicated movements between teammates are not only friendship, but also a way to encourage each other before the game, and it is also a symbol of unity to win this game.

"Wait, I not only design a set of gestures myself, but also remember the gestures of each of them?"

"Correct!"

"I can't remember wrongly, new gestures will be updated one after another in the future, and the version will be upgraded?"

"That's right!"

"I...you call this simple?"

After listening to Lin Shuhao's explanation, Li Pu was shocked.

"That's right! It's very simple!" Lin Shuhao said as it should.

"Where is it easy?"

Who the hell remembers this?

"This is their culture. Because you didn't understand it before, I asked you to get used to it first. It's been almost a month, and it's time for you to start learning!"

"No, I play basketball, why do I still need to learn these things?"

At this time, Li Pu suddenly discovered that the biggest obstacle for Chinese people to play in the NBA is not basketball skills and physical fitness, but remembering these gestures!

Thinking of this, he turned his head to Lin Shuhao and said, "Do you think this is the reason why you can't play?"

"I..." If he couldn't beat him, Lin Shuhao really wanted to tear this guy's mouth open!
