The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 117, Inspiring Morale.

"Well, okay, thank you Forest for your analysis of the league situation, now let's turn the screen back to the scene and take a look at the game."

Zhang Weiping was about to start explaining.

Li Senlin was not very interested in commenting on the game, so he would only occasionally interject a few words at most.

Most of the time it is Zhang Weiping who comes to commentate alone.

After all, this game was very tiring, and it was hard for the old man.

"Let's take a look at the starters of both sides first. The Lakers sent Fisher, Kobe, Odom, Gasol, and Bynum."

"The starters for the Thunder are, Westbrook, Watson, Durant, Jeff Green, Collison. Unfortunately, Li Senlin can't play today due to injury, but he can sit next to me and join everyone Watch this game."

"Today, the Ford Center is very full. It seems that the home atmosphere here is good. Forest has come to a good team."

Zhang Weiping exclaimed.

Li Senlin couldn't bear to interrupt the old man.

Damn, it's also the first time I've seen so many people in the Ford Center.

Li Senlin looked at the distribution of fans at the scene and was not surprised at all.

Not many fans wore blue jerseys at the scene, but many fans wore Lakers jerseys.

The time for the Thunder to come to Oklahoma City is still too short.

The fans have not completely supported the home team, and the current Thunder is not enough to gain the respect of the fans.

But Li Senlin believes that it only takes two to three years for the Thunder to conquer all the fans here and make them completely crazy for this team.

The current Thunder is still too immature, and this season is the personal peak season of Jankovy Animal Protection.

Five historical superstars are at the peak of their careers at the same time this season.

The Thunder's Durant and Westbrook are not enough to be compared with these five at this time.

This season does not belong to the Thunder.

Now the entire league is in such a situation.

The Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust have reached their peak, the Texas Rockets are all soldiers, the Dynasty Lakers have begun to dominate, the Wind City Roses have emerged, the Green Kais are old and strong, and the domineering monsters rule the basket.

There are more than 10 superstars at the SS level, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a prosperous age of superstars.

"The game has officially started, let's take a look at the jump ball from both sides."

……

In the first quarter of the game, the Thunder team blossomed a lot. Durant started the game in a hot state and scored 6 points alone, giving the Thunder a slight lead.

But soon, with consecutive Kobe Bryant's three-pointers, the Lakers overtook the score.

After Gasol, Bynum, Lamar Odom three teamed up to play 8:0, the Lakers took a 9-point lead.

Then Durant and Westbrook stopped the scoring drought for the Thunder, and Jeff Green responded with two consecutive three-pointers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers lead the Thunder 28:19.

In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers scored 4 points first, and then Watson and Durant hit consecutive three-pointers to help the Thunder play a 12:3 offensive to close the score.

The Lakers paused.

Back from the timeout, Kobe and Fisher scored three-pointers in a row, Durant scored 6 points to stop the game, then Westbrook scored 4 points in a row, and the Thunder suspended.

After returning, Westbrook made consecutive fouls and scored free throws.

Bryant has repeatedly succeeded in the basket.

The Thunder narrowed the score, and at halftime, the Los Angeles Lakers led 51:44.

Easy side to fight again, Jeff Green scored 4 points.

After that, Kobe and Gasol scored 6 points together, and the Thunder suspended.

The Lakers have maintained a double-digit lead, and the two teams have started a tug-of-war.

Gasol succeeded in the next empty basket, the Lakers lead extended to 15 points.

The two teams missed consecutive offenses. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led 76:60.

In the final quarter of the game, Watson hit a three-pointer, Green scored 6 points in a row, and the Thunder approached the score 9:0.

Then the two teams made frequent mistakes, Bynum made a fast-break alley-oop dunk, and the Thunder asked for a timeout.

With Gasol's three-pointer, the Lakers led by 17 points.

In the next game, Kobe broke through and scored 2+1.

Fisher hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, and the point difference widened to 20 points.

Since then, the game has entered garbage time.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the home team Thunder 96:81.

The Thunder suffered a disastrous home defeat.

Seeing the end of the game, Li Senlin, who was sitting in the commentary seat, couldn't sit still.

Immediately got up and walked back to the locker room.

In the locker room, both Westbrook and Durant sat downcastly, they were completely restricted by the Lakers.

Everyone in the Thunder, which had won four out of five games before the game, thought they could wrestle with the Lakers.

result.

When they really competed, they realized how naive their thoughts were.

The audience suppressed.

Real full-court suppression.

The Thunder couldn't see any hope of winning at all. They felt that even if everyone opened up, they couldn't win the game.

So, after the game was lost, the atmosphere in the locker room was very solemn.

At this time, everyone knew that the Thunder was still the Thunder of last season, and they were beaten back to their original form in one game. .

This is their second defeat to the Lakers this season.

All the spectators who came to support the Thunder were very disappointed.

The Thunder in front of them didn't have the aura of meeting gods and killing gods in the east, meeting Buddhas and killing Buddhas in the news.

Bad teams are still bad teams.

"Li, you're right. The Lakers are a championship-level team. We can't beat them."

Westbrook looked at Li Senlin a little frustrated and said.

Durant was silent beside him.

He played poorly in the first game of his comeback from injury. He only made 22 of 6 shots and scored only 22 points.

This Laker knocked him back to where he was last year.

Are we really not making progress?

Looking at the atmosphere of the locker room, which was a bit depressing, the morale was a bit low.

Li Senlin suddenly found out.

It turns out that Westbrook and Durant are not so resistant to blows, and now they don't have the kind of arrogance that is better than me.

This is different from what Li Senlin thought. He thought that after this defeat, Westbrook and Durant could quickly stand up to boost morale.

But at this moment, Collison, Jeff Green, Wilcox, and Watson were sitting around, dejected. Obviously, the two of them did not do this well.

Looking at these depressed teammates, Li Senlin felt that maybe he should do something.

After thinking for a while, Li Senlin organized his words.

Alright, let's find someone who will take the blame first.

Li Senlin applauded.

He signaled everyone to pay attention.

He took a deep breath and said loudly to everyone.

"Guys, the Lakers are not invincible, we are not the strongest lineup, don't forget, I haven't played yet."

"KD, what the fuck did you do on the court? I only saw a Durant with 59 points. Just coming back from injury is not your excuse. Russell, you need to check the tape, how many mistakes did you make? What? Look at the two of you, what the team has become."

Naturally, the two bosses will take the blame.

Although Li Senlin knew that the gap between the Thunder and the Lakers was definitely more than his, but Li Senlin had to give these teammates hope at this time.

Everyone saw Li Senlin holding the two bosses, and the role players were so arrogant that they didn't dare to breathe.

After hearing Li Senlin's words, Durant and Westbrook also looked sharply at Li Senlin.

No one has ever dared to speak to them like that.

Facing the murderous eyes of the two future MVPs, Li Senlin expressed that he was under a lot of pressure.

But at this time riding a tiger is hard to get off.

"It's not terrible to lose, but I think we haven't done our best yet. KD, Russell, you two have to bear the main responsibility."

"Remember how we killed the Cavaliers? Remember how we killed the Heat?"

"All teams are not invincible. Including the Lakers, of course including us. We only lost two games. There are still two games this season. Next time we win it, just come back."

Li Senlin glanced at all of them while speaking.

Speaking of which, both Westbrook and Durant knew what Li Senlin meant.

He is encouraging everyone.

Otherwise, the entire team will have a shadow when it encounters the Lakers.

After the two looked at each other for a while.

Westbrook also stood up, speaking to encourage morale.

"Well, Lee's right, this one's about the two of us. My play sucks, guys, we're going to L.A. for revenge."

"Yes, to revenge, my state is not the best today, it is my problem."

Durant also stood up. He was indeed not in his best form, and he was not convinced by the loss.

Seeing the three bosses come out to boost morale.

Jeff Green, Collison, Wilcox and others also cheered in unison.

The Youth Army is the Youth Army.

It's easy to beat chicken blood...

Li Senlin looked at the rejuvenated locker room and wiped his sweat.

It's really cool to have two future MVPs at the same time.
