NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 153: 72 wins, another fight with the Heat! (35)

After Westbrook stopped getting carried away, the revamped Thunder finally revived.

After defeating the Cavaliers last time, the Thunder are advancing on a high note.

On April 4, April Fools' Day, they defeated the new Pacers team with ease and successfully achieved the second 1 wins in NBA history!
After the game, many team media and celebrities sent their congratulations.

Celebrate the league's second 70-game winning streak.

Even David Stern posted a special message to celebrate.

Today's NBA has entered a new era.

The competitiveness has been greatly improved again.

4 month 6 number.

After the Thunder won the game against the Grizzlies again in the last game and got 71 wins, they will fly to Miami to face the Miami Heat at the American Airlines Center in this game.

This is the second meeting between the two teams this season.

This is also a battle in which the Thunder can tie the Bulls' 72 wins!
In the last game, the two teams played a Christmas game in Oklahoma.

The result was that Lin Chuan scored 72 points in three quarters and completely defeated the Heat.

In this game, the two teams met in Miami.

The Heat will definitely fight with the determination of revenge!
After landing in Miami, Lin Chuan looked at the dazzling sunlight in the sky and couldn't help but frowning, and raised one hand to block his eyes.

Durant on the side was well prepared. He took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on.

Miami is close to the sea and has always been a popular holiday destination in the United States.

It is only the beginning of April now, but the temperature has already risen to 4 degrees.

Lin Chuan wiped the sweat off his face and took off his thin jacket.

"This place is great... There's sunshine, beaches, the temperature is not low, and the sea breeze is very comfortable."

Hearing Lin Chuan's sigh, Durant suddenly turned around alertly.

"Praising Miami so much?!"

"You don't want to sign a contract with the Heat during the offseason!"

Listening to Durant's sudden remarks, Lin Chuan laughed in silence.
"Kevin, are you crazy? We have such a big grudge against the Heat, how could I possibly go to the Heat!"

"Not to mention how many stars have been unbearable because of Riley's control and stinginess."

"Besides, there's James over there, and I don't want to be his teammate."

"You know what I mean, Kevin."

“Besides, his contract expires next season, so who knows if he will run again.”

As he spoke, Lin Chuan stretched out his fist and gently bumped Durant's chest.

Durant thought for a moment and nodded.

There is nothing wrong with what Lin Chuan said.

indeed.

Let’s count down the stars who are teammates with James.

Either the data has shrunk significantly, or the peak has been forced through.

Wade's performance in the finals last season was also pitiful. He fought with them until the very last minute and injured his knee. At one point this season, his scoring was even lower than that of Ray Allen and Bosh, ranking fourth on the team.

Lin Chuan's explanation made Durant let down his guard.

"I also think Miami is a nice place. It would be comfortable to buy a house and come here for vacation from time to time."

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows. Isn’t that right?

"But we'll talk about those things later. Right now our biggest goal is to beat the Heat and get that damn 72 wins!"

"Yes! Defeat James again! Make him unable to hold his head up in front of me this season!"

Durant clenched his right fist and said these words from the bottom of his heart.

In his short career, he always regarded LeBron James as his rival. After finally defeating him and winning the championship trophy last year, Durant finally broke his inner demon.

His status in the US team and Nike finally surpassed that of this two-time MVP player.

But the season isn't over yet.

Durant's honors are only 1 championship and 1 FMVP.

Only after the season ended and he won the MVP did he have the confidence to announce that he had surpassed LeBron James!

And now! The most important thing is to beat James again in front of everyone and under the attention of many media!

Let ESPN know what a mistake it was to rank James above himself at the beginning of this season!

The next day, the American Airlines Center was packed with media from all sides.

This game was another undoubtedly all-M live game.

Whether it is the second game between Thunder and Heat.

Or the Thunder's push for 72 wins.

It's all an extremely hot gimmick.

Before the game, both the home and away media rooms were packed with reporters.

There were so many people in the house that even the air seemed a little thin.

I'll feel dizzy if I breathe for too long.

But the reporters did not show any dissatisfaction.

Everyone was waiting expectantly.

It wasn't until James, Wade and Spoelstra came in that the home media room finally became lively.

The reporters had a lot of questions waiting to ask the few people.

"Wade, how do you think you will perform in this game?"

After thinking about it, Wade said calmly,
"I will try my best to give my best performance so far this season and defend my home turf."

Wade's answer was quite standard, without any highlights, and the media were a little disappointed.

"Coach Spoelstra, what strategies will you use to limit the opponent today? What plans will you make for center Lin Chuan, who scored 72 points against you last time?"

Hearing this question, Spo suddenly felt overwhelmed.

How could he solve this problem?
He has a hammer for countermeasures!

Not to mention that in addition to Lin Chuan who crushed them like a god, there were also Dewey and the second young master, two players who could score crazily.

Just looking at their lame lineup, except Haslem, no one can even match Lin Chuan.

How can such a weak inside player limit Lin Chuan!
Moreover, he has a better passing skill than 99% of the players in the league, so you have to think twice before double-teaming him!
Sibo's face turned pale and he answered reluctantly.

"Everyone will see it in the game. Next question."

"LeBron, in the last game of this season, you didn't play well against the Thunder on Christmas Day. The second best player on the other side, Durant, was better than you in every aspect and made some tough remarks after the game. How will you perform to defend your home court in this game?"

James curled his lips and sneered.
"Durant overestimates himself."

"To be honest, the fact that we lost to the Thunder in the finals last season was not Durant's fault, but the center of their team."

"I think he got on the bus as a passenger and thought he was the driver."

James' remarks caused an uproar in the media room.

No one expected that James would comment on Durant like this!

Call him a passenger on the road to the championship!
I wonder what Durant would think after hearing his remarks.

"Today, I will use my strength to let him know who is the best player of this season! He, Durant, will never be better than me!"

James dropped the harsh words and pushed away the microphone.

The reporters were still immersed in his harsh words, and no one noticed that he didn't even mention whether he could win.
