NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 141 23 consecutive wins, second in history! Our goal is the sea of ​​stars! (15)

"This double step back! It was blocked by Durant!"

In the studio, Yu Jia held his head and screamed.

No one expected that Harden's secret weapon, which had just been used without any obstruction, was blocked by Durant, whose defense could not be called excellent!
Harden's confident left-handed three-point shot was blocked halfway by Durant's hand, which was stretched to its limit, at the last moment.

The basketball drew a strange arc in the air and fell into the hands of Ibaka who jumped up in advance.

Zhang Weiping was also stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and began to analyze the situation.

"Durant has long arms and legs. Although he was left far behind by Harden at first, he took two steps to get to a nearby position. Then he used his super-long wingspan to effectively interfere with Harden."

Zhang Weiping's explanation made Yu Jia look sideways.

"What Coach Zhang said is true. Harden mainly relies on changing his rhythm to dribble, but his shooting speed is not fast. It is understandable that he was disturbed by Durant who came later and got there first."

Seeing his special move was blocked, Harden's pupils shrank and he seemed a little unbelievable.

In fact, it was not just him. Even Durant, who successfully blocked the shot, felt the same way. He stared at his hands in shock.

It was not until Ibaka yelled at him to run a fast break that he reacted and instinctively ran forward.

After receiving the pass from behind, he ended the offensive round with a fast break layup against Jeremy Lin.

Only after he landed did he react.

He cracked Harden's killer move that had dominated the entire game.

I didn’t expect that what Lin Chuan said was actually true!

Durant raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Made the greatest contribution on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, Durant became more comfortable.

Durant converted several passes from Lin Chuan and Westbrook into points.

And just after these assists.

Lin Chuan's statistics came to 18 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists.

"Lin Chuan looks like he's going to get another triple-double."

When Yu Jia saw the data column of the broadcast, he finally reacted and sat up straight to stare at Lin Chuan's data.

"Yeah, I got this kind of near triple-double data without realizing it."

Zhang Weiping couldn't help but sigh,
"Lin Chuan can really get things that others can't get even if they want to without realizing it."

"Yes, there is still a little more than one quarter left in the game, and Lin Chuan's triple-double is a foregone conclusion."

Before Yu Jia finished speaking, the Rockets' offense was blocked and the ball was passed to Jeremy Lin.

There was not much time left, and the hasty shot hit the basket again, and the rebound was confiscated by Lin Chuan.

Ibaka caught the fast break forward and dunked it.

"Look, I haven't even finished my sentence yet, and I've already got 9 assists."

Yu Jia smiled bitterly.

He had never seen such a player before. Even the tall point guard Magic Johnson could not get a triple-double as easily as him.

As everyone expected, Lin Chuan passed the ball to Durant in the last offensive round at the end of the third quarter.

Durant's buzzer-beating three-pointer was just as everyone expected.

The basketball went into the basket with the anticipation of the home fans.

It brought the third quarter of the game to an end.

This goal also pushed Lin Chuan's assist count to 10 times.

Before he knew it, he had already achieved his 29th triple-double of the season.

So many triple-doubles in a single season would rank third in NBA history.

He still has 26 games to play this season. "I don't think Lin Chuan will break Oscar's single-season record of 41 triple-doubles this season."

Suddenly, Yu Jia said something shocking that made Zhang Weiping sit up straight.

Start thinking seriously about this ancient record.

"26 triple-doubles in 13 games? That's not impossible."

Zhang Weiping thought for a moment and gave his answer.

For a player like Lin Chuan, turning the impossible into the possible is already commonplace. Now with 41 triple-doubles in a single regular season, there is no reason why he has no chance.

Everything is possible!
…………

Durant even made the extremely difficult buzzer-beater in the third quarter. His touch was extremely good in this game.

In addition, during the halftime break, he made a bold statement in the locker room that he would win the game, and he was in full swing in the fourth quarter.

Harden and others repeatedly counterattacked, trying to catch up with the score, but every goal they scored was countered by Durant.

answer ball!

In the fourth quarter, Durant scored 15 points in a single quarter, killing the game.

The final score is 116:125!

The Thunder have won 23 games in a row! The second longest winning streak in history!

Durant scored 41 points, the highest score of the game!

Harden, who scored 28 points in the first half, only scored 39 points in the whole game under Durant's defense, with 11 points in the second half showing his fatigue.

No one knew that this switching defense strategy was proposed by Lin Chuan, not decided by Brooks.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Chuan only got a modest triple-double of 20+13+11.

Not only his teammates, but even reporters and the media seem to have become accustomed to his statistics.

For them, Lin Chuan's triple-double is a common thing.

From the initial shock to the current indifference, Lin Chuan took less than a season to make their attitude change 180 degrees.

After the game, Durant, who scored the highest points on the team, and the team coach Brooks participated in the post-game interview.

Lin Chuan didn't have to participate in the post-match interview, so he just played yo-yo.

In an interview with reporters, Durant said:

"Although he surpassed Anthony again and ranked first in the league in scoring average with this game, he got high points because the team needed it, so he stood up and got high points to help the team win."

The second question the reporters asked was about the issue of switching defenses.

"The switching strategy was amazing. It immediately restricted the omnipotent Harden. How did the coach and Durant discover it?"

Durant and Brooks looked at each other at the same time.

Brooks then moved closer to the microphone and coughed twice.
"In fact, it was Lin Chuan who came up with the tactic. He used Durant's size advantage to defend. The result was of course very good, and we won the crucial victory."

When the reporters heard that it was Lin Chuan who did it, they were shocked again, and there was a sound of people writing furiously below.

Then Durant randomly picked a reporter and asked,

"You have now won 23 games in a row, ranking second in history. Will you try to break the record of 33 consecutive wins?"

Brooks smiled and answered before Durant did.

"23 consecutive wins is not our end. Of course, we will definitely challenge and break the 33-game winning streak!"

"At this point, who would calmly say they don't want to challenge!"

After that, Brooks paused for a moment, moved closer to the microphone, and his voice became firm.

"But those are just beautiful scenes in the process of winning the championship. Our goal is the sea of ​​stars! To defend the title! To be a dynasty!"
