Chapter 115: The War of Young People
Oklahoma is a magical place.
When the typhoon disaster in New Orleans was severe, the Hornets moved to Russia for a year, allowing the people of Russia to experience the feeling of NBA home for the first time.
Then, they fell madly in love with the feeling!
That's right, it's just in love, even if the Russian city ball market is not big, it's not a big city, but the people of the city actually unanimously demand that there should be an NBA team on their own territory.
You must know that Charlotte Bobcats, as a new army, have only been in the NBA for seven or eight years, and the league will theoretically not expand at this time.
However, they were lucky, the Seattle SuperSonics, just because the original owner didn't want it anymore and was ready to sell it, and the league saw that Oklahoma was really positive, so it made a decision to move the SuperSonics from Seattle to Oklahoma, and by the way, it was renamed "Thunder".
This incident alarmed many people at the time, especially the former supersonic celebrities, who said that they had nothing to do with the "Thunder" and that they were supersonic people.
In particular, "Glove" Gary Payton, the most powerful supersonic brand in modern times and the only superstar to win the best defensive player as a point guard, decisively refused when the Thunder offered to retire his jersey! The reason is that he has nothing to do with the Thunder.
Payton did have a backbone, and the Seattle people were also very moved, so in '17, Seattle unofficially retired Payton's No. 20 jersey.
Tsk, I don't know how the Thunder felt at that time, because in 17 years, hehe, the "No. 35" jersey that the Thunder originally cultivated by themselves and is the most promising to retire is no longer there......
Of course, that's all for later, and now, the Thunder boss is still Durant.
As for the second child...... Well...... For now, it should be Westbrook.
Why? Because last season, Westbrook's three big data were 16 + 4.9 + 8, and Green was 15 + 6 + 1.8, Westbrook played a greater role than Green, so Green had to retire from the position of "double less" with Durant in 07.
But even if he retires, the third child is still his, and Harden is still young, and his beard has not fully grown, so he can only be the fourth.
However, Green may not have much time to do with the Thunder, and the day he will be traded should be getting closer and closer.
Therefore, what became famous after that was only the "Thunder Three Less".
Han Miao suddenly remembered a very classic movie "Let the Bullets Fly", although it is the time period and the movie has not yet been released, this does not prevent Han Miao from remembering the classic clips in it.
It's also a goose city in the movie, and then there's also the Big Three in it!
And the more Han Miao thought about it, the more interesting she felt, it seemed that the current state of these three people should indeed be a bit similar to the movie.
If you look at it this way, Huang Shilang should be Durant, the old overlord of Russia, Zhang Mazi is Westbrook, the person who wants to become the boss of Russia, Harden is a bit miserable, he is a master, and he is still struggling.
Thinking about it like this, Han Miao suddenly didn't worry much about the Thunder team.
He is now worried that his private account is 100,000 yuan less, and this time it is still US dollars.
"Oh, you're a multi-millionaire, what's the matter?"
After receiving 100,000 US dollars from Han Miao, the system was obviously very satisfied and took the task for Han Miao.
"You know what? My money is all in my sister's, she's my agent, okay! 100,000 less for no reason, how can I explain it? Do you think my sister is a fool? ”
The system doesn't speak, this kind of family incident has nothing to do with it, it doesn't care.
……
Oklahoma, Thunder Training Gym.
The entire Thunder team is training.
Coach Brooks is a young coach, and the Thunder team is basically young, so to speak, they are the same as the 76ers, they are all young troops in the league.
It's just that Brooks has Durant in his hands, and after a few years of tempering, this 07-year list is now one of the most terrible scoring machines in the league, and after winning the scoring title, some people have said that he can replace Anthony as the league's second small forward.
Durant does have that strength, especially when he shoots more and more accurately, and Anthony really doesn't have much advantage against him.
So the Thunder have this trump card, and they are still very competitive in the West.
Moreover, Westbrook in front of him, Harden last year, is becoming more and more mature this year, and Westbrook's opening score has reached an average of 20 points per game, which has replaced Green and become the most powerful helper around Durant.
And Harden, as the sixth man, he is excellent, the Thunder's bench lineup, Harden leads well, can ensure the continuation of the team's firepower.
Therefore, in the West, which is full of giants, the Thunder can currently play a 6-3 record, which is quite good!
"Philadelphia 76ers? Let's win. ”
Westbrook honestly doesn't care much about the 76ers because he doesn't feel the 76ers pose a threat to the team.
Don't say anything else, let's talk about Durant, who in Philadelphia can stop it? Moreover, his level has improved now, how can that rookie point guard of the 76ers stop him?
It's a complete crushing game!
"Russell, don't be careless, they beat Boston."
Coach Brooks is still more cautious, probably because both sides are youth teams, and Brooks has an inexplicable liking for the same type of team.
"It's just luck, it's not like they didn't win against any of the other strong teams."
Westbrook is sometimes like this, if you think you can't do it, then you can't, to say that it sounds good, it's called love and hate, and to say it's ugly, it's willful......
Anyway, when Durant left later, it was hinted that Westbrook's character and style of play were problematic.
"Russell, listen to the coach."
Durant, who had just finished his shooting practice, said while wiping his sweat.
In fact, Durant's personality is not very suitable for being the boss, he lacks a kind of domineering, and he is more suitable for being a second-in-command, but at present, he can't be the boss in the Thunder.
Westbrook saw the boss talking, and immediately shut up, because Durant is still the highest status in the Thunder, and Westbrook can't compare with him.
As for Harden and Green, hmm...... They don't like to talk at such times even more, and they don't have enough portions.
"The 76ers are youngsters just like us, so their athletic talent is no worse than ours, and our greatest advantage is negated, so don't try to play fast, Russell, you have to control the tempo!"
Because the Thunder is young, the game is fast-paced, and the special point guard is Westbrook, who rushes when he doesn't agree with him, and often speeds up the pace of the game.
Fortunately, most of the Thunder's main players are under the age of 25, young people can run, Westbrook can speed up the tempo, and they can also tire the opponent to death.
However, the 76ers are also young, and if Westbrook still plays like this this time, I'm afraid the Thunder will fall into a tough battle.
"Okay, okay, coach, don't worry, we can definitely win the 76ers, you have to believe us!"
Westbrook still doesn't care, in his opinion, playing a team like the 76ers, he thinks he can win, then he will definitely win!
Coach Brooks shook his head helplessly, alas, they are all young people, how can this baby point guard of his own family not be as stable as the opponent of the young Chinese man?
This war between young people, I don't know why, Coach Brooks always felt that it would be a tough battle......
