Chapter 84: Away game against the Warriors, provoking Bogut (45)
The night before the game, Lin Chuan and his group boarded a plane and flew to California.

"I don't know what the Warriors' home court is like, but I think a big city like San Francisco should be pretty good."

Hearing Lin Chuan say this, Durant sneered.
"San Francisco? Lin Chuan, have you been back for too long and forgotten that the Warriors' home court is not in San Francisco, but in Oakland, across from San Francisco!"

"Oakland? What's the difference? Doesn't it belong to San Francisco?"

"You'll know when you go and see it!"

Durant took off his eye mask and went to sleep, ignoring Lin Chuan's questions.

Lin Chuan was so curious that he kept answering.

Before landing, Lin Chuan saw the Golden Gate Bridge through the plane window.

The Golden Gate Bridge is located in the sea, and there is another bridge that looks similar next to it.

I have to say, when Lin Chuan actually saw the bridge, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

Thinking back carefully, he realized that the Golden Gate Bridge had been destroyed countless times in the movies he had seen.

He is a frequent disruptor.

However, the Golden Gate Bridge does not seem to be connected to Oakland. Instead, another bridge connects San Francisco and Oakland.

Bay Bridge.

The two bridges look very similar and you can't tell them apart unless you look closely.

Lin Chuan looked again and again, but couldn't figure out which bridge the Warriors' logo was.

It was not until the plane landed and everyone left the airport that Lin Chuan knew where Auckland was.

Oakland and San Francisco are across the sea from each other. The only thing the two cities have in common is that you can both see the Golden Gate Bridge. There doesn't seem to be anything else similar.

After taking a closer look, Lin Chuan felt that the gap between Piltover and Zaun was not that big.

On one side is a high-end elite city.

On the other side is the city of sin that ranks among the bottom three in the United States and where people dare not go out after six o'clock.

And in terms of size, it's not even as big as the big county town of Oklahoma.

After a brief understanding of the city of Auckland, Lin Chuan no longer had a good impression of the city.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that he was not selected by the Warriors, otherwise, as a Chinese, I don’t know how long he can survive here, and he might even be robbed many times.

If it weren't for the game, he would never come here!

Today, all the members of the Thunder team took a brief rest in a hotel not far from the stadium. Tomorrow they will play against the Warriors.

Lying on the bed, listening to the noise not far away outside, it seemed like there was a robbery.

At this moment, Lin Chuan just wanted to finish the game quickly and then fly away immediately.

The next day, everyone set out from the hotel to the competition venue.

The Warriors' home court, Oracle Arena.

The stadium has a long history. Lin Chuan remembers that he will retire after serving for a few years, and the Warriors' home court will also move to the Chase Center in the neighboring San Francisco.

However, the construction of the Chase Center did not begin until 16, and at that time there was still a vacant lot.

As soon as he entered the stadium in the afternoon, Lin Chuan took off his clothes, changed his balls and started warming up.

He must get his touch hot today and then beat the Warriors hard.

The main purpose is to beat Bogut! Beat this filthy guy thoroughly! "Dear audience, welcome to this game, the Warriors will host the Thunder from afar! The main focus of today's game is whether the Thunder can continue to maintain their winning streak and lead the list, and whether Lin Chuan can continue to get a triple-double in this game."

"Before this, he had already had a triple-double three times, which is amazing! Apart from him, only Rajon Rondo of the Celtics has achieved it once! This means that Lin Chuan is currently the best in the entire league!"

Kenny Smith kept chattering into the microphone, and Barkley, who was playing the game, kept turning his head to look at him.

"Kenny, aren't you exaggerating too much? Lin Chuan is better than the entire league. If he heard it, he wouldn't even dare to admit it."

Barkley complained.

"Triple-doubles, I'm talking about triple-doubles, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

Barkley shook his head, indicating that it seemed that his commentary skills were still not good enough, unlike Kenny Smith, who could easily come up with such hot words to provoke conflict.

The game was about to start, but Lin Chuan had already been warming up on the court for two hours.

At the moment, he feels relaxed all over.

Seeing Bogut on the opposite side, Lin Chuan had already thought about how to beat him.

In the jump ball round, Lin Chuan jumped first, and just after crossing half court, Westbrook passed the ball to him.

Because Lin Chuan told them before the game that he had a conflict with this guy, everyone supported Lin Chuan in beating him up.

Lin Chuan received the ball and faced Bogut. He chose a simple and rough breakthrough. He stretched out one hand to hold Bogut in front of him and pushed forward all the way. When he reached the basket, Lin Chuan jumped directly and forced a layup, which resulted in a free throw.

When he landed, Lin Chuan glanced at his feet, and sure enough, that dirty guy Bogut had quietly stretched his foot to his landing point. Lin Chuan landed on one foot and stood firmly.

A dog will never change his bad nature. He was already thinking about doing bad things in the first round of this NBA game.

Staring at Bogut's face, he sneered.
"Zhu Fangyu is really suitable to be a doctor. This blow straightened your crooked face a little, but it's a pity that the force was not strong enough. It seems that I have to do it again."

Seeing Lin Chuan staring at his chin, Bogu was angry at first, but then he controlled his emotions and sneered,
"Be careful in this one."

Lin Chuan didn't say anything. He looked at his slightly irregular chin and laughed twice, then retreated to defend.

The referee, who originally thought there was a conflict, wanted to step forward and separate the two sides. He was relieved when he saw that the two did not fight and just said a few trash words before separating.

Whenever a fight breaks out during a match, the referees also become nervous.

"Is there any conflict between the two of them, Barkley?"

Kenny Smith was like a spectator. When he saw something wrong on the court, he couldn't wait to ask Barkley.

"Yeah, in the group stage, Bogut injured a player on his team and didn't return until the finals. But someone on his team fought back in that game. When I watched the game, an elbow hit Bogut's chin, breaking his jaw on the spot."

"Shit, this is so exciting. This is a feud. This game is going to be interesting."

Smith's eyes lit up and he sat up straighter.

The Warriors attacked, Bogut set a screen for Curry, and then Curry made a three-pointer.

It was the Thunder's turn to attack again. Lin Chuan held the ball in the high position with his back to the ball, and Bogut was still defending.

Feeling Bogut secretly pinching him from behind, Lin Chuan turned around and faced the basket, while his elbow slid across Bogut's chest and abdomen with extremely smooth movement.

Bogut was immediately forced to take two steps back by the burning pain, and Lin Chuan easily scored directly facing the empty basket.

Lin Chuan's movements were so smooth that even the referee didn't notice.

Bogut covered his chest with his hands, his eyes becoming more vicious.
