Chapter 796: Durant's Decision (Fourth Update!) )
“Fxck!”
Durant slammed into the locker room.
Just when his teammates thought he was going to drop his phone again, unexpectedly, there was only a foul mouth.
But Westbrook was at the press conference at the moment, and no one dared to hit the muzzle.
Durant picked up his backpack and walked straight out of the locker room.
After leaving the stadium, he did not get on the team bus or take a taxi back to the hotel, but wore a hood and carried a school bag, and walked aimlessly on the street alone.
A cold wind blew, and he tugged at his collar.
What the hell is New Orleans!
It's mid-March, spring has just arrived, and the temperatures are cooler at night, and combined with the humid conditions of New Orleans, the dampness is even more uncomfortable.
"Kevin? You're Kevin?! Oh, God! ”
As he was walking, a woman who came across recognized him and shouted excitedly at him.
Durant ignored her and continued to walk on his own.
"Wait, Kevin, I'm your fan, a die-hard fan!"
The man chased after Durant.
"Can you sign it for me?"
New Orleans is now mostly Tang Tian fans, and it is indeed rare to meet Durant fans here.
However, Durant was in a bad mood, and after turning his head to look at her, he walked forward again.
The man had a look of disappointment, but she probably knew that Durant was in a bad mood after losing, so she didn't chase any more.
“I.don'.……”
The cell phone in Durant's pocket rang, and his ringtone was Scarlett's cover of the episode "Journey to the Ice" "Aging Before Aging".
He looked at it and saw that it was Westbrook calling.
He hesitated for a moment to mute, then put it back in his pocket.
He really wanted to be quiet and think about his future.
Tang Tian has gone from being a role player to now approaching the first person in the league, and his progress has been exaggerated and amazing.
It's uncomfortable, but the truth is that he's no match now.
And Tang Tian also has a group of outstanding teammates around him.
Davis is now a top-10 or even top-5 power forward in the league;
Jokic is even more talented, and he has the opportunity to become the league's No. 1 center in the next two or three years;
Holiday is the most unpretentious player, and he's the best point guard among the players who don't need to carry the ball.
Bojan is even more seriously underrated, his defense is close to the league average, and his three-point shooting is absolutely top-notch.
And Ariza, who didn't return from injury, is one of the best defensive wings in the league.
These people are much better than the current teammates of the Thunder team.
He can't beat Tang Tian now, and his teammates can't compare to the Pelicans.
And he's getting to feel the coaching staff shifting the ball to Westbrook.
If he continues to play like this, he will always run with him, and he will not have a chance to turn over in his entire career.
No, that's not the future he wants, absolutely not!
During the All-Star Game, he and Curry had a long talk at night, and the two didn't talk about when they played together, but just about basketball skills and the future.
Two people who admire each other really fit very well.
Next summer is really his chance to play with Curry and have Thompson, Green, Iguodala and that group of teammates.
He must have been able to Tang Tian and Pelican.
And he's a completely free agent, so it's his choice wherever he goes.
But......
Now there are several big questions in front of him.
One is Westbrook, the two have played together for so many years, and the brotherhood is very deep.
If he abandons his brother at this time and breaks down his relationship with Westbrook, he will definitely be poked in the backbone by Thunder fans.
And then there's what he said on social media.
When Tang Tian left the Spurs to go to the Pelicans, he used his tuba to make a "traitor" remark.
If he ends up leaving the Thunder, what is it?
Isn't that a slap in the face?
And later, he also used the trumpet "godfather fan" who was hammered to say that he would definitely stay with the Thunder until he won the championship.
Now I can't take it back when I say it.
If he really patted his ass and left, you can imagine how rotten his image would be.
The opportunity was in front of him, but he was blocked by himself.
He let out a long breath of cold air and shook his head vigorously.
He really understands what happened to James with the Cavaliers now.
For superstars, a championship is the most important measure of their worth.
The reason why Bill Russell is so admired by the NBA is because he is the Lord of the Rings, and there are so many rings that he can't wear them on both hands.
Jordan was able to become the god of basketball, and in addition to his super-first-class strength, his two triples were also very important.
As for others, the "Big O" Oscar Robertson is strong enough, and he averages a triple-double per game this season, and he only has one championship in his career, and his reputation is obviously not good.
Not to mention those who don't have a crown, Carl Malone, Dominic Wilkins, Alex Inglish......
Malone is mentioned more because of his legend, and the others are really unknown.
No one would want to be one of those people.
James has already won the championship, and he is 28 years old, so he doesn't have much time to splurge on him.
He kept thinking about it, and it was like two villains fighting in his mind.
One wants him to go to the Warriors, create a future with Curry, and win his own N championships.
One is going to make him stick to the Thunder and become a city hero with Westbrook.
In the end, no one was able to defeat anyone.
Just then, he came to an intersection and it was a red light.
He took out his phone and looked at it, and there were N missed calls in it.
Except for two, one is Donovan's, one is his agent's, and the rest are all Westbrook's.
He felt a warmth in his heart.
He picked up the phone and called Westbrook back, telling him that he was out shopping for something, and he didn't pay attention to his phone.
Westbrook's mood was a little anxious, and he calmed down a lot when he heard what he said.
He hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Westbrook still cares about him.
It was after answering the phone that he made a decision.
He will give his all for the rest of the season, including the playoffs, to fight for the end.
If he can win a championship, he will stay with Westbrook with the Thunder.
If he can't, then he'll go to Curry and start a new chapter in his career.
The green light at the intersection was already on, and he was about to walk forward when he suddenly noticed a person standing beside him, somewhat familiar.
He remembered that it was the same person who had asked him for an autograph.
I didn't expect to meet again by such a coincidence.
The woman's look of anticipation could tell that he was excited about the two chance encounters with Durant.
"You want to sign it?"
Durant spoke.
The woman nodded frantically.
"Where's the pen?"
Durant said with a smile.
