NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 200: Shit on you! The toilet exploded, and the second unlucky person suffered

"The game is over. The Thunder lost to the Spurs by 11 points in San Antonio! This is also their first playoff loss!"

Seeing such a result of the game, even Jeff Van Gundy, who has seen many storms, was a little excited.

At the same time, he also felt a little regretful.

With the Thunder losing this game, they will no longer be able to challenge for the playoff championship. The best result is to lose one game together with the Lakers in 01.

This is indeed a bit unfair to their record of 74 wins in the regular season.

All I can say is that, for a weakened team, there is a chance to defend the title, but it is still too difficult to create history.

Listening to the excited cheers of the Spurs fans around him, he was also infected by the atmosphere and said with a smile,

"In this game, the Spurs' hero was undoubtedly their rookie Kawhi Leonard, who they acquired in 2011! Not only did he score 24 points, the highest scorer on the Spurs, he also got 7 rebounds and 6 assists! In this game, he guarded Durant the entire time, limiting him extremely, making Durant score less than 20 points again after the first game of the Western Conference Finals. With such performance, he will definitely have a place in the future league!"

Spurs fans were also very happy to hear Van Gundy's praise.

Hearing him say this, it seems that the Spurs have found a treasure, a player who has the potential to grow into an MVP level player in the future.

That's not all. After taking a sip of water, he continued to praise the Spurs for their victory today.

"In addition to Leonard, Duncan also performed very well in this game. Although his statistics were not very impressive, he only scored 16 points and 8 rebounds, which seemed a bit shabby for this player, I believe that everyone who watched the game could see his role in this game. With him under the basket, the Spurs' defense was completely raised to more than one level. It can be said that it was because of Duncan that the Spurs were able to build such a solid interior defense and their defensive formation."

"In this game, except for Lin Chuan who could score under Duncan's defense, the rest of the Thunder team even had a hard time shooting in the paint, and scoring became a luxury."

"It can be said that without Duncan, the Spurs' chances of beating the Thunder with Lin Chuan will be much smaller."

"As for Popovich, we can also see that he makes targeted adjustments according to the situation in each game. This time, he held down Durant again and did not give the Thunder any chances throughout the game. It can be seen that his tactics are indeed very smooth. From the single defense in the middle to the double-teaming of Lin Chuan at the end, not only did he not have a shot, but other players of the Thunder also missed shots because of cold hands, quietly erasing the Thunder's last hope of catching up. It can only be said that from a tactical perspective, Popovich has blown up the opponent's new championship coach Brooks in these games."

After talking about the Spurs, he changed the subject and started

"As for the Thunder, Lin Chuan was undoubtedly the best player on the team. He scored 37 points, the most in the game, and also grabbed 13 rebounds, another double-double. However, the team's performance gap made it impossible for him to recover, and he could only watch his opponent win the game."

"I'm not saying this, I really think Lin Chuan is the best player on the Thunder. He can selflessly share the basketball when he doesn't need to shoot. Even though he scored 40+ in the first game, he was willing to give up shooting and let Durant play in the second game when Durant was in great form. At the critical moment, he was able to maintain his cold-blooded nature and kill the game with one blow. In this game, after Durant was sluggish again, he once again took up the lead and took the shot starting from the second quarter. In this game, he was just one step away from scoring 40+ in the playoffs again. I can only say that this player is terrifyingly good."

Although it was the Spurs' home court and the Thunder was the losing team, Jeff Van Gundy still praised Lin Chuan without reservation.

After all, in his heart, Lin Chuan is impeccable and is undoubtedly the strongest center in the league. It is not an exaggeration to even say that he is the strongest in the league.

Even the commentator, Van Gundy, who was not biased, felt unlucky that they lost despite trying their best. At this point, he couldn't help but criticize Durant.

"As the best player in the league today and the MVP, Durant once again disappointed his fans in this game. Facing a rookie, he was once again limited to less than 20 points per game by his opponent. In this game, Durant shot 13 of 4, with a poor hit rate of 30.7%. He played a 17-point game and had 4 turnovers, the highest on the team. You know, their starting point guard Reggie Jackson only had two, and the organizer Lin Chuan even had only one turnover. Durant was also intercepted by his opponent face to face and was not scored in the top five, which was really disappointing."

"I believe that if Durant could play normally in this game, show his due strength, and play his average of 30 points per game, the Thunder would not lose this game so easily."

Jeff Van Gundy sighed.
"I can only say that love-related things make people worse. I hope Durant can get over it soon and play as he should, and not hold his teammates back as the leader of the team."

"I believe that in two days, these two teams will bring us another exciting game. I just don't know if Durant will be restricted to this extent by Leonard."

Not only did the commentator mention these things, but in the post-match interview, as the team leader and the person most responsible for the loss of the game, Durant walked into the press room without saying a word.

As soon as I sat down, countless reporters raised their hands.

Durant randomly named a few, and the first reporter asked him the question he didn't want to answer: Was it because of the breakup with Scarlett that the game turned out like this, and he didn't even get 20 points?

Hearing the question asked by this reporter, many reporters showed gossipy expressions and immediately opened their notebooks to record Durant's answers.

Durant's face turned pale and blue. Looking at the group of media reporters watching the fun, he squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Next question."

After this statement was made, many reporters' expressions turned disappointed. It was too boring not to get the answer they wanted.

But judging from Durant's reaction, they were able to grasp something from it and then make up some topics and plots in their minds.

Seeing the looks of these reporters, Durant quickly put the microphone to his lips.
"Don't make blind guesses, everyone. My poor performance in this game had little to do with anything else. It was mainly because before the game, in the locker room, a snake jumped out of my closet and almost bit me. The security guard said it was a rattlesnake, which is very poisonous. A bite like that would leave you disabled. That's why I was a little dazed during the game. It has nothing to do with anything else!"

"Venomous snake?!"

"Wow, this isn't some trick from the Spurs!"

"Eighty percent of them are! This team looks very stable on the surface, but they are actually making lots of small moves!"

After hearing Durant's big news, the reporters in the audience immediately started discussing it and began to record it in their notebooks.

Seeing this, Durant immediately added,
"In the next game, I won't play like this again. Even if our visiting team has some strange problems, I will be mentally prepared to face these things and then defeat the opponent on the court!"

"Just wait! After the next game, 3:1!"

Durant left the press conference after saying something harsh.

On the other side, Durant's words quickly reached the home team's post-match interview room.

Hearing Durant's threat to defeat them, Popovich just smiled and then said lightly,

"Why should I care what a player who has no impact on the outcome of the game says?"

"As for the little trick, I can only say that it was an accident. If we did it on purpose, doesn't that mean we wanted to murder the players of other teams? The Spurs can't afford such a serious accusation." As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was boiling.

After the game, Popovich's words were flying everywhere.

"It has no impact on the outcome of the game? Is he talking about me?!"

In the training hall the next day, Durant was furious when he saw what Popovich said, and he couldn't help but curse Fake.

"Damn Spurs, they used tricks to influence me, and they didn't admit it, and they still belittled me like this!"

"Okay, let's show our strength in the next game, score more than 30 points, and shut them up with our performance!"

Brooks became annoyed when he saw Durant getting angry.

In this season's playoffs, Durant has been causing trouble for him. In the game, he always plays in a way that doesn't match his worth, and he has also made some big news off the court.

This also made his impression of Durant plummet.

On the contrary, Lin Chuan, who was just mentioned as a starter this season, did not cause any trouble for him. Instead, he just played the game honestly.

Brooks couldn't help but sigh in his heart sometimes that these Chinese players are different, they don't have any bad hobbies and they are very focused on basketball.

"Look at Lin Chuan! He plays diligently in every game and makes the Spurs team exhausted. Why is no one targeting Lin Chuan? It's because he plays well enough!"

After hearing Brooks compare Lin Chuan to himself, Durant, knowing that he was in the wrong, had no choice but to swallow his anger and decided to use basketball to teach his opponent a lesson in the next game.

Winning the game is more convincing than saying any harsh words!
The time soon came to October 5st.

This is also the fourth matchup between the two teams.

Before this game, Lin Chuan raised his attention, fearing that he might encounter something strange again.

Durant, who encountered a snake in the previous game, was also extremely careful. When opening the cabinet, he put his head in front of the cabinet to listen for any strange movements inside. Only after confirming that everything was correct did he open the door.

"Are you too nervous, you two? The Spurs shouldn't be doing these things anymore."

Seeing that the two star players in the team were both nervous, everyone became nervous as well. In order to relieve everyone's pressure, Brooks made a few jokes.

Before he could finish his words, everyone heard Ibaka curse loudly in the bathroom and several heavy hammering sounds.

"what's going on?!"

Lin Chuan ran into the toilet immediately, but before he even entered, he smelled a foul odor. He immediately covered his nose with a grim look on his face.
"Wow, what the fuck does that smell like? Did you poop on the ground, Serge?"

"Fuck, this toilet suddenly burst out!"

One of the toilet doors was kicked open and Ibaka walked out with some indescribable things on his legs and pants.

His expression at this moment seemed extremely hopeless.

Lin Chuan deeply understood that no one could remain emotionally stable if these things were sprayed on them.

Seeing him like this, Brooks swallowed back what he had said before. He also covered his nose and told Ibaka in a muffled voice to go and wash up quickly and let the staff handle it.

Ibaka ran towards two people, and they immediately dodged, allowing Ibaka to pass through them.

As they ran over, a gust of unpleasant-smelling wind blew into their nostrils, making them feel almost nauseous.

"yue!!!"

Looking at this toilet that made people want to escape, Brooks quickly retreated, retched twice, and said to Lin Chuan,
"It seems that what you two said is correct. The Spurs are too ruthless. In the last game, they released the Viper, and in this game, they blew up the toilet. If we come to their home court again, I can't imagine what other shocking moves they can make."

Lin Chuan laughed in agreement, and thinking of the situation in his previous life, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This is not the Spurs' limit, they are still far from it!
This is just the beginning! They haven’t tried any of the tricks, such as turning off the air conditioner, releasing flies in the visiting team’s locker room, or the ceiling suddenly falling down and starting to leak!
These people all pretend to be harmless on the surface.

As a result, the clothes were black and gray, and when the inside was cut open it was the same color!

For this reason alone, after Durant came on the court, Ibaka, who had just washed himself, also joined the army of people who fell into a trance from time to time.

"I'm dirty... dirty..."

"No matter how many times I wash it, it won't be clean..."

Before going on the court, Lin Chuan heard Ibaka mumbling to himself from time to time behind him, and Lin Chuan felt that he was both miserable and funny.

This was the first time he had seen a player who was about to be shit on.

Although Ibaka no longer had that unpleasant smell on his body after taking a shower, Lin Chuan still quietly moved forward half a step to keep himself away from Ibaka who had just been sprayed.

"I rubbed it ten times, ten times... the skin is almost peeling off... there can't be any smell like this... Ugh!!!"

Fortunately, Ibaka was still immersed in his own world, still talking to himself in a trance, and did not notice Lin Chuan's actions, otherwise the brotherhood between the two brothers would have been reduced a lot.
