NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 144 Landing in New York, Attacking the Target (45)

Time flies.

Before we knew it, the Thunder had played quite a few more games.

The regular season is gradually coming to an end.

Next game, they will fly to New York to play against the Knicks.

To hit their new record.

And Lin Chuan's own records
“This is our first time in New York this season.”

While still on the plane, Lin Chuan suddenly asked a question to Durant beside him.

"Yeah, we only play against Eastern Conference teams twice a year, once at home and once away, so we just have to fly to New York to play."

"Last time they played at our home court, this time they flew over to their home court."

"We haven't played the New York Nets either, so it's not a problem what you said."

Lin Chuan looked out the window thoughtfully.

New York...

…………

"Pre-game Express: Can the Thunder achieve a 33-game winning streak?"

"Fastest 60 wins?"

"Battle of the Scoring Champions! Durant vs. Anthony!"

"Can Lin Chuan, the triple-double king, get another triple-double today?"

The competition doesn't start until tomorrow, but it's already all over the news.

This is also a focus battle, broadcast live across the country.

Many fans and media were closely watching this game.

The Thunder are currently ranked first in the Western Conference and the league.

The current record is 59 wins and 6 losses.

And if they win one more game they will get 60 wins!
This is also the fastest team in NBA history to reach 60 wins.

It can also tie the longest winning streak in history created by the Lakers, 33 consecutive wins!

This record was set 40 years ago.

Once we can catch up or even break it, it will be a huge explosion point.

Many reporters have already compiled the transcripts in advance, waiting to be released as soon as the Thunder wins.

The Knicks, although not as strong as the Thunder this season.

But it also stood out from the iron-blooded East.

The Eastern Conference currently has the veteran championship powerhouse Celtics and last season's champion Heat.

But the Knicks are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference this season, surpassing them!

Anthony has performed extremely well this season, and he has been competing with Durant on the scoring list, with the two constantly switching back and forth.

The average score per game between the two teams is only 0.1 points apart.

Tyson Chandler's defensive level this season is also very high, helping the Knicks build their own defensive system.

And Amar'e Stoudemire has performed even better since his comeback in January.

He even averaged 20+10 per game! People even thought he was going to return to his peak!
The team also has super sixth man JR Smith.

He can still deliver an average of 18 points per game while coming off the bench.

With the joint efforts of this group of people, the Knicks are invincible in the Eastern Conference and have no rivals!

The current record is 48 wins and 11 losses!
The winning rate is over 80%, the same as the Thunder!

As both sides are ranked first in their respective divisions, this game is destined to be a fierce battle!

This game was not only a victory for the Thunder, but also a record-breaking game for Lin Chuan.

Before the game, Lin Chuan had already achieved 34 triple-doubles this season. Not only has he already ranked among the top ten in NBA history with the number of triple-doubles this season.

Moreover, the number of triple-doubles he has achieved this season is more than the total number of other people in the league.

The only active players who have more triple-doubles than him, apart from Jason Kidd who is retiring on the New York Knicks, is LeBron James, who has 37 triple-doubles.

In the eyes of many people, surpassing James is inevitable, and surpassing Kidd in the near future is also a foregone conclusion.

What everyone is most looking forward to is whether Lin Chuan can break the record of "Big O" Oscar Robertson, 41 triple-doubles in a single season!
…………

Landed in the Big Apple, New York.

Lin Chuan saw a prosperity that was different from Los Angeles.

Times Square, Manhattan, Central Park. Although Lin Chuan had not been here much, he was somewhat familiar with these places.

After thinking about it, Lin Chuan just remembered it.

Maybe it’s because I was playing Spider-Man on PS5.

The next day.

Pre-game interview.

Lin Chuan, Durant and others went to the press conference as usual.

The first few questions were just as Lin Chuan thought.

Ask about their pre-match arrangements and whether there are any targeted decisions.

Is there anyone injured?

The goal of this game.

And so on.

Lin Chuan was about to yawn.

Just when he thought that this pre-match interview would end so dully, a reporter suddenly stood up and asked Lin Chuan a question directly.

"Mr. Lin Chuan, what do you think of New York and the Knicks? Would you like to join this team during the offseason?"

Hearing this question, Lin Chuan's eyes widened.

Are you serious?

In the pre-match interview, he was asked if he would join the opposing team.

In a blink of an eye, the reporter was asked to leave by security.

Lin Chuan hesitated before choosing his words and said,

"New York is a big and prosperous city, so it's a good place to watch. The Knicks are also a strong team with a complete lineup, so it will be a tough battle for us."

"As for whether I will join or not, I am a Thunder player now and I still have a contract, so it is not convenient for me to answer such questions."

"The Knicks might be fined because of this reporter's interview."

It was just a joke and Lin Chuan skipped the topic.

But his reaction still caught the attention of many people.

There is no absolute denial.

This information reveals that Lin Chuan is the league's newest top center.

He doesn't seem to be a simple-minded player.

Whether Lin Chuan will stay in the Thunder or leave for another team is currently a question mark.

After receiving this news, many reporters began to contact their companies to publish articles.

The pre-match interview ended so hastily.

In the locker room, Durant kept staring at Lin Chuan, which made him feel scared.

"What? Why are you staring at me? It's scary."

After watching for a while, Durant shook his head and swallowed the words on his lips.

"fine."

After all, those reporters are just good at making wild guesses.

There is all sorts of fake news all over the Internet.

A few days ago, he was browsing Twitter and saw fake news that James invited Lin Chuan to join the Heat and that he was going to join the Warriors.

He just laughed it off.

I don’t know why I suddenly became so sensitive about Lin Chuan’s answer just now.

I always have a feeling that Lin Chuan might join another team during the offseason.

Lin Chuan is so capable, the team will definitely renew his contract. What's wrong with signing with his own team and building a dynasty?
And he has no reason to change teams.

I think the contract will be renewed...

Durant scratched his head and suddenly felt a little anxious.

"What are you doing? Get ready to go on stage."

Lin Chuan tied his shoelaces, stood up and patted Durant, who was standing beside him and seemed to be in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

"Oh! Here it comes."
