This Forward is Not Serious
Vol 2 Chapter 482: Durant is back! Destined duel!
When he heard this answer, Durant's excited expression became a little complicated.
Although unlike in history, there is now a "peaceful breakup" between him and the Thunder, but his departure was not so peaceful.
There are still a lot of Thunder fans who are malicious because of his departure.
Even if there is a thousand good things, it is not as good as a one-time loss.
Even fighting to the season reimbursement will not help.
The main thing, of course, is his relationship with Westbrook.
From the exchanges between Durant and Lin Ying, we can feel that Durant treated Westbrook like the university treated Lin Ying.
And Durant is playing for "enlightenment mentor" Charles Craig, and Westbrook is playing for his friend Kelsey Balls. The two have something in common.
Plus Westbrook is a great guy off the court, and the two have a close bond.
This is also why Westbrook dragged his feet at critical moments and was hailed by the media as "the best guy to defend Durant", and Durant never complained.
If it were someone else, he might not be able to stand the explosion of his performances in one season.
But it is precisely because of this that Westbrook cannot accept Durant's departure.
He saw Durant's departure as a "flight." .
They should have fought together to the end, to wash away the shame of their 1-3 comeback, but Durant chose to run away.
Durant wants to chase the championship, but he can't say Westbrook is wrong, which is why it's here.
So goodbye to Westbrook and back to the Thunder will be emotionally complicated.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Lin Ying patted Durant on the shoulder.
He can't say that Durant should delay a comeback, and with Durant's straight-forward character, he will definitely not agree.
So all he can do now is tell Durant that he's not the same now as he was in the Thunder, and he won't need him to fight for the season anymore.
Durant nodded and put his hand on Lin Ying's shoulder.
The feud between him and the Thunder is in the past, what matters now is the Texas Twins, who need to do what their Ncaa did in the NBA.
...
Before heading to Oklahoma City, the Nets announced that Durant would be back.
This time has attracted a heated discussion among fans on social media.
Unsurprisingly, many Thunder fans were sneering.
Although there are actually many fans who thank Durant for everything he has done for the Thunder and thank him for leaving in a trade.
If he joined the Warriors with a slap on the **** as in history, the Thunder would be in a terrible situation right now.
For now, at least they're still one of the contenders.
But the silence is always the majority, and only the clowns jumped on the beams.
Of course, there are also many fans who are looking forward to this game. Because of the rivalry between Westbrook and Durant, this encounter is full of topics.
And Westbrook's personal performance this season is very good, he can contribute 30+10+10 triple-double data per game.
"If Russell keeps playing like this, he's going to be the regular season MVP no matter what."
This is the performance that made Kenny Smith feel emotional on TNT.
For the first time since ancient times "Oscar" Robertson, a player has averaged a triple-double.
This will make the game more interesting.
...
Oklahoma, Ford Center.
Westbrook is working hard in the gym.
He is a player who relies on emotions to play, and Durant's departure has left him in a "rage" mood.
This has made his performance on the field skyrocket, and his three-point shooting this season has reached a career high of 34% so far.
Now to face Durant directly, he was a little "excited" and couldn't sleep.
He doesn't train alone, he also trains with Steve Adams.
This year is the third season of Adams' rookie. Similar to Jokic, the Thunder attaches great importance to him. Last season, Perkins was traded away in order to help him start.
This season, because of Durant's departure, he and Westbrook have become close teammates.
And at this time, Adams had long hair and beard and became "Sea King".
This is not because of the American culture of beards, because Adams is not American at all, he is a New Zealander.
But playing in the NBA sometimes requires not only a strong body, but also a fierce appearance.
Westbrook is now practising mid-range and long-range jumpers, and he's building up his arsenal because he's taking on more this season.
Adams was...well, practicing rebounding.
After a round of practice, the two sat on the sidelines to rest.
Westbrook took good care of Adams and handed Adams a bottle of water.
"We will win the game tomorrow."
Adams took a sip of water and said.
"Of course, I won't be soft-hearted!"
At the thought of Durant, Westbrook's anger waned by training exhaustion resurfaced.
He will definitely give Durant a serious look tomorrow. He wants to let Durant know that even without Durant, he can lead the Thunder to win the championship!
Adams nodded along, and he'd get stuck on that Serbian guy named Jokic tomorrow.
...
On game day, the Ford Center was full.
What was unexpected was that there were many fans at the scene holding up the KT board with the sign language of "Welcome Durant Home".
Most are silent, but the way of expression is different.
Durant's performance for the Thunder last season, how can people be indifferent!
The two teams entered the field one after another.
Durant's nose was a little sour when he saw this.
If he didn't really see no hope, why would he want to leave here.
He has been in the city for eight full years since his rookie season, and his home is here.
This reaction from the fans is the best gift for him.
But what happened next was a little unexpected.
After seeing the KT boards in the footage, Westbrook directly negotiated with the staff and seemed a little emotional.
After a while, the KT boards were eventually taken away by security personnel on site.
Some of the fans were reluctant and almost clashed.
But in the end, the KT board was basically invisible at the scene.
This little episode made the scene of the game seem a bit tense.
And then what happened next made it all the more interesting.
Before the opening ceremony, the Thunder played a tribute video to Durant to thank him for everything he's done in the past.
This video made many fans on the scene clearly excited, and many of them seemed to return to the scene of last season's playoffs.
Durant couldn't hold back his emotions at this moment and shed tears directly.
After all, he is a sentimental person.
This can be seen in the behavior of blocking his career for the championship during the Ncaa finals.
Lin Ying put his hand on Durant's shoulder at this time.
He is also happy for Durant at this moment.
When Durant arrived at the Nets, he no longer had a "voice to the enemy" and no "hardest way". The Thunder fans and the Thunder's welcome to him is the best proof.
Of course, not everyone feels this way.
In the Thunder's half, Westbrook's eyes were also red, but it was the kind that was bloodshot with anger.
He could get security to stop fans from holding up signs like that, but he couldn't stop the team from thanking Durant.
What is there to thank for the "destroyer"!
After the thank you video, the game warm-up followed.
On the Nets side, Durant shot from the outside, but on the Thunder side, Westbrook took the ball and dunked continuously.
His anger has overflowed, and he needs to vent some by dunking.
Lin Ying's expression became serious when he saw this scene.
For most players, being emotionally dominated is not good, the most typical example being the Kings' Cousins.
But it's different for Westbrook. He's getting more and more courageous, especially when he's at the top, and he hasn't been affected by injuries.
After the warm-up, the starting lineups for both sides were released one after another.
Nets: Bradley, Ariza, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic;
Thunder: Westbrook, McGigi, Gay, Ibaka, Adams.
The game started immediately, and players from both sides appeared one after another.
Jokic and Adams' jump ball in the middle.
The fans cheered, Adams dialed the ball back to the Thunder's half, and the home team had the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.
A somewhat embarrassing thing, even though Jokic has played the push-cart jump ball before, he has not won a jump ball so far this season.
Westbrook took the ball to the frontcourt, and Adams pulled it to a high pick-and-roll.
Adams' body was still very thick, and he held Bradley in a solid way.
Then, like a sports car with one foot on the accelerator, Westbrook jumped up.
Jokic knows Westbrook's technical characteristics and has stepped back a little, but Westbrook's speed is still beyond his expectations.
He reached out to stop it, but caught the air.
Westbrook in this period, once rushed to him, was like a fully accelerated cheetah, extremely fast.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang behind him, and Westbrook rose into the air and smashed the ball into the basket!
After landing, Westbrook roared at the audience at the scene, and the veins on his arms and neck burst out.
It looked like a bloodthirsty Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
In response to him was the enthusiastic cheers of the Thunder fans on the scene.
Durant, they have welcomed them, and they have already thanked them. Now they are Thunder fans and Westbrook fans!
Feeling the fans' response, Westbrook pouted and pounded his chest hard, then turned to look at Durant with a cold look.
This is the "meeting gift" he gave Durant!
Lin Ying went to Jokic's ear and communicated for a while.
In the Nets' offense, Jokic held the ball at the top of the arc, while Lin Ying and Durant ran without the ball.
The Thunder's defense was tight.
Emotions are contagious, and while other people aren't as dominated by anger as Westbrook, they do have a fighting spirit.
Durant finally came out to catch the ball, and Westbrook struggled to pounce after switching defenses.
"when!"
Durant's shot went out of the basket.
With Westbrook's height, this kind of switching interference will definitely not interfere with Durant.
So this ball is more of Durant's mentality.
He still felt indebted to Westbrook, so his hands trembled when he shot.
In the battle for defensive rebounds, Adams stuck Jokic, but instead of taking off and grabbing the rebound, he watched Westbrook retract to the basket and take off the defensive rebound.
When Lin Ying saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Has the legendary "Cardboard Master" appeared this season?
But yes, if it didn't show up, Westbrook's rebounding average this season would not be in double figures.
It is unrealistic for a standard-sized guard to rely on his awareness and ability to get in double figures in rebounding. He is as good as Kidd, and the season with the most rebounds is only 8.
Westbrook does have a good rebounding nose, but to say he's better than Kidd would be an exaggeration.
This round allowed Westbrook to successfully close the board, but the Thunder's fast break also failed to hit.
No matter how fast Westbrook is, facing the Nets, it is impossible to complete the fast break in the backcourt.
The Thunder's frontcourt position.
Westbrook continued to hold the ball and Adams pick-and-roll in the frontcourt.
This time Jokic took a big step back.
The communication between Lin Ying and him just now was about the way of defense.
Westbrook's drive is ferocious, but his shot is weak.
This option is fine.
However, Westbrook made a direct move directly!
The influence of emotions on him is thoroughly reflected in this ball.
If it is a normal day, he will definitely hesitate, at least he will observe the position of his teammates and then choose the shot method.
But now he is full of thoughts about giving Durant a "meeting gift", but this time he shot very decisively.
His jump shot is a bit stiff, straight up and down, and the ball doesn't get much spin.
Appeared, the legendary "zombie jumper"!
"Shh!"
But the ball, in!
Lin Ying frowned.
Westbrook is incapable of getting into white-hot space, but he's in a super-level state right now.
It seems that the next round can only be a pinch attack.
The Nets' offense, Durant backed McGigi in the low post for the ball.
He knew he had to do something about it.
But as soon as the ball went in, Westbrook decisively pinched the past.
He's just having a hard time with Durant tonight.
Durant turned to the baseline and prepared to lean back.
But Westbrook was all too familiar with his technique, and he was decisive when Durant turned.
"Snapped!"
This time it was fast and accurate~www.readwn.com~ I broke the ball directly!
The referee didn't blow the whistle, and Westbrook ran with the ball in his head.
His lightning speed was reflected in this shot. He passed the two Nets defenses in a row, and finally rushed to the frontcourt and confronted Bradley with a dunk in a high-speed breakthrough and smashed the ball into the basket. basket!
The ball was too fast, and after Westbrook dunked, he fell out and slammed into a ball with the photographer.
There was a commotion at the scene, and many fans were even more worried.
But the next second, without waiting for his teammates to come up, Westbrook crawled up from the ground.
This turtle is tough enough!
