The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 141, Coquettish December.

"I think Popovich must treat the Argentine to dinner after the game. If the Argentine hadn't saved the team at the last moment, the Spurs would lose face at their home court."

After watching this lore, Charles Barkley said to the camera!
……

After the game because he won the game, Popovich took Duncan to the post-game conference.

"What do you think of the performance of the Thunder's three rookies?"

A reporter asked Popovich!
"They are all geniuses, incredible, their talent is about to overflow, I envy Brooks!"

Popovich didn't hesitate to give the trio his best praise.

When he saw Durant hit that unsolvable shot, when he saw Westbrook throwing his body into the penalty area again and again, when he saw Li Senlin hit three-pointers again and again.

Although he has GDP, Popovich is still very envious. Popovich seems to have seen the cone of the dynasty!
What would happen if all three of them were under his command?
Another female reporter asked again.

"Can you tell me how you felt when Manu made that last three-pointer?"

Popovich said: "If this three-pointer fails, I will trade him on the spot, but he hits it. Then I want to make breakfast for him with my own hands. This is my heart."

Duncan watched the reporter's question and answer with Bobo blankly.

Although the Thunder lost the game, the three-star Thunder has managed to attract the attention of the entire league recently, and the performance of the three this season has been praised by everyone.

The media all over the world began to dig out news about the Thunder.

ESPM directly posted a photo of the Thunder's No. 35, No. 0, and No. 8 standing together as their news headlines.

"Thunder and Samsung scored 71 points and lost to the Spurs!"

FOX Sports: "Excessive talent? The Spurs team is too reasonable to play. If you can't beat him in a reasonable way, you can only be unreasonable! If one is unreasonable and you can't win, then two, if two can't work, Three can win! Today the Thunder showed us that it is possible to win the game in an unreasonable way."

CBS Sports: "Who dares to treat them as fish belly!!"

The Thunder have recently achieved impressive results. Since December, they have achieved a record of 12 wins and 5 losses, defeating the Bobcats, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, and Clippers respectively.

You must know that in their away trip, the main scorer was injured and missed 3 games.

The three games the Thunder lost were back-to-back losses to the Chicago Bulls, the Lakers and the Spurs, who were aiming for a championship, and the Spurs still lost by 1 point.

Throughout December, the Thunder's three-star data is that Kevin Durant averaged 12 points and 28 rebounds per game, Westbrook averaged 8 points and 20 assists per game, and Li Senlin averaged 8.9 points and 22 assists per game.

The average score of the three players has reached 20+, which is not inferior to today's opponent GDP combination.

With the ferment of the media, other teams in the league finally began to face up to this Thunder Youth Army!
"OMG, they're really good," Nash commented.

"The Spurs need a lore to win the Thunder? I'm not surprised, look at the Cavaliers." Wade said.

"China Li, Russell, KD, three outstanding young people." Bryant commented.

"Although the Thunder lost today's game, they won the future." Sina Media commented.

After playing against the Spurs, the potential of the Thunder's three rookies has been recognized all over the world, and all fans have begun to praise their talents and look forward to their future.

"Russell, KD, Lee, performed well today."

Brooks looked at the three young men who were a little dejected and said!

Although they lost the game today, the Spurs killed the game with a very classic match.

But Brooks couldn't ask the three young men to do better.

"Brooks, we have a chance to win this game." Li Senlin said.

"um, yes."

"Coach, where did we go wrong in the end?"

Westbrook is still struggling with the defense of the last ball!

KD also looked at Brooks.

"It's all right. We lost this game because we were too young. We don't need to think too much. We will be able to beat them next year. Do you believe it?"

Brooks said sternly.

Brooks is not convinced either!

Popovich.

Next year see if you can still suppress these three!!

"Ok!"

The three of them quickly realized that it was just a loss, but it wasn't that they had never lost before.

. . . .

"Haha, Li, look, now the whole of America is talking about us!"

After taking a shower, Westbrook came over with his mobile phone and talked to Li Senlin.

"Well, Russell, it deserves it."

"You have to believe that you will win the MVP in the future."

Li Senlin was not at all surprised by the praise from the media, which even came a bit late.

You know, Westbrook, Durant, and Harden were all MVP-level players at the time.

When they separated, they both won the highest award representing the player's personal honor in their respective teams.

Everyone in the future will be amazed by the talent of this Thunderbolt.

Ever seen a team draft 3 MVPs at the same time?
Everyone admires the Thunder's draft vision, but everyone is surprised by their trading operations.

The youth army that could only establish a dynasty was dismantled.

Harden left the Rockets, Durant joined the Warriors, and Westbrook guarded the Thunder alone.

But such a three-person MVP combination has no championship.

Everyone feels sorry for them.

The Thunder have one game left at the end of December.

Immediately after they finished the game with the Spurs, they rushed to Dallas to challenge another strong team in Texas, the Dallas Mavericks, back to back.

At this time, the Dallas Mavericks' record ranked ninth in the West, ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers with the Yellow Mamba.

The Mavericks are going through the pains of running in.

In the external situation, with the arms race in the West, the Mavericks' rise seems to wait for no one.

The threshold for the Western Conference playoffs was raised to an unprecedented 50 wins last season.

With 51 wins, the Mavericks barely made it to the playoffs as the oldest seven in the Western Conference.

But at the same time, the powerful firepower of all walks of life in the west continued unabated, and the rise of the upstarts was as fast as lightning.

The Lakers returned to the Finals immediately after having Pau Gasol;
Although the sun has experienced a failed season, it is still not to be underestimated;

The Spurs have been strong for decades because they have Duncan;
With the joining of Artest, the Rockets quickly became one of the super teams;
The Hornets have rolled up a hot "bee wave" in the west and become an upstart;

With Deron and Boozer, the Jazz have become powerful;
Therefore, the main player Nowitzki is under a lot of pressure this year, all because the competition in the West is too cruel.

Facing the visiting Ohlahoma City Thunder, the Mavericks did not dare to be careless.

The Thunder's current rookie trio has recently become a very popular rookie trio.

The dog thorns that have always been as stable as dogs almost capsized in the gutter on them, let alone their calves?

Therefore, the head coach of the Mavericks, Rick Carlisle, did not dare to underestimate this youth army, and arranged many backup players to deal with these three rookies.

Tactician Carlisle's arrangement was very successful.

After the Thunder's three stars came to Dallas, they all fell into the vicious circle of playing iron. Coupled with back-to-back and lack of physical strength, the game did not cause too much trouble for the Mavericks at all.

Carlisle's tactical targeting is obvious, and all three of them are out of order.

Li Senlin scored only 8 points and 3 assists in Dallas.

For the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, and Jason Kidd went crazy at the same time, scoring 25 points and 8 rebounds, 19 points and 4 assists, and 15 points and 8 assists to win the three rookies.

The Thunder beat Dallas 90-110 by 20 points.

When the Thunder received the attention of the entire league, they did not seem to exceed the expectations of the fans.

After losing to Dallas.

The time has also entered September.

The sluggish Thunder hated Portland again, and it was another disastrous defeat, this time with a score of 80 to 96.
Facing the Huang Mamba, Li Senlin scored 11 points and 5 assists, and made 11 of 4 shots.

Compared with Li Senlin's downturn in two consecutive games, another rookie Westbrook is not much better, scoring a total of 25 points and 12 assists in the two games.

Although Kevin Durant averaged 35 points in two games, it still didn't help.

"These two rookies have encountered the rookie wall?"

"What happened to them?"

The media are very concerned about the growth of this youth army.

……

Li Senlin, who returned to Oklahoma City, had no time to pay attention to the news of the media.

He was lying in bed in his apartment in Oklahoma City.

The consecutive away games exhausted him.

He turned on the system.

There should be a lot of experience points accumulated in the three games.

Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket.
