Chapter 504: Westbrook: Durant, Don't Care About the Data (Fourth Update!) )
The Pelicans are on a winning streak, but the opposite is true for the Thunder next door.
They have suffered back-to-back losses to the Pacers and Trail Blazers recently, suffering a losing streak.
Durant's stats in those two games were: 41 points on 15-of-31 shooting and 37 points on 14-of-30 shooting.
He rarely took more than 30 shots before, 30+ shots in a row, and the team lost all of them.
Everybody knows what he's trying to do.
With this wave of consecutive scores, his average points per game has narrowed to Tang Tian, and the average points per game of both of them are running for 30+.
Since the crazy scoring performance of Kobe Bryant (35.4 points), Iverson (33 points), James (31.4 points), and Arenas (29.3 points) in the 05~06 season, it has been a long time since there has been such a fierce competition for the scoring title.
At this time, the scoring championship is no longer just an honor.
After Scarlett publicly showed favor to Tang Tian and the two teams lost in a head-to-head PK, Durant had to save this last shred of face even if he lost.
After the loss to the Trail Blazers, the atmosphere in the Thunder's locker room was a bit dreary.
Reggie Jackson is the most depressed person, and Durant's extra shots are basically his.
Although he regards Durant as the boss, but the boss snatched his shot, affecting his vital interests, so it doesn't matter if he is the boss or not.
This is also Tang Tian's cleverness before, as soon as the 300,000 Ferrari was given, this kind of thing was put an end to early on.
"Reggie, get me a towel."
Durant had just come out of the shower and shouted at Jackson next to the closet.
Jackson was upset and continued to tie his shoelaces as if he hadn't heard it.
"Reggie!"
Durant raised his voice, and the entire locker room heard.
Jackson looked up in confusion as if he had just heard it.
"Towel."
Durant was unhappy when he lost, and Jackson reacted like this, and his face was ugly.
Jackson didn't explain, picked up the towel and threw it directly to Durant.
"I'm sorry, boss."
Jackson said with a smile.
Durant's face softened a little, wiped his head with a towel, and then walked to the stool and sat down.
Jackson got up at this point and left the locker room directly.
Durant looked at Jackson's back and frowned slightly.
This guy has stiff wings, and he used to greet him when he left.
The players all left the locker room one after another, and Westbrook also came out of the shower to change his clothes.
Durant saddled his bag and prepared to leave.
"Kevin."
Westbrook called out to him.
Durant looked back in confusion.
Westbrook motioned for him to sit down and talk.
"What's wrong?"
Durant walked back and sat down.
His expression was not very good, originally the two of them were close brothers, but since the All-Star Game Westbrook and Tang Tian interacted on and off the court, he had a bad heart.
Westbrook didn't care, he didn't know what Durant was thinking, thinking that Durant was because of the loss and Jackson's attitude.
"Reggie's heart is higher than James (Harden), it's normal to play badly and not be in a good mood, don't pay too much attention to it."
He opened his mouth to persuade Durant.
Duran nodded.
There is no harm without comparison, and compared to Jackson, Harden was stronger and more obedient.
"But there is one thing I still have to say, Kevin, don't be difficult to care about the data, there is no point in fighting for that scoring title."
Westbrook opened his mouth and said that Durant's crazy shot had hurt the team, and now this team is the only one he can persuade Durant.
And he had to do that, because if he can't win, the numbers don't matter.
Durant's brows furrowed when he heard this, his good brother really turned to Tang Tian, and he didn't even want him to fight for the scoring title!
"I won't give it to him!"
He then gritted his teeth and said, that was his last dignity.
"The Pelicans are likely to end up seventh or eighth this season, and we can see how it goes, and finally control the first or second place, and play them directly in the playoffs, so it makes more sense to eliminate them like that than to fight for a scoring title."
Westbrook continued.
After he failed to ease the relationship between Tang Tian and Durant, now he can only think about how to make Durant win back face, after all, brothers are more important than friends.
Durant glanced at Westbrook.
"If you lose too much and fall to third, you might not be able to beat them in the playoffs, and you know we can't lose to them in the playoffs."
Westbrook continued.
Durant turned his head, was silent for a moment and nodded.
Westbrook is right, although the scoring title involves a matter of face, but if you play directly against the opponent in the playoffs, it is indeed more meaningful than winning the scoring title.
Westbrook breathed a sigh of relief when Durant finally nodded.
Durant is now the only one who will listen to his words.
……
Tang Tian was dribbling with the little lion in the yard.
The lion cub is more than 6 months old and is almost the size of a sheep.
Tang Tian has also adapted to low-body dribbling for more than 1 month, and he is now dribbling significantly faster than when he first started.
The frequency of low body dribbling is critical, because the center of gravity is low, and there is enough frequency to support more responsible movements such as the crotch.
"Smack!"
The little lion once again stole Tang Tian's dribble.
Tang Tian shook his head helplessly, the blue skill level was still too low, and his basic training was almost at the upper limit.
If you want to go further, you can only continue to accumulate kryptonite value.
Just then, Olsen came down from upstairs.
Entering March, the winter in New Orleans is coming to an end, and she wears less clothes and her figure is revealed.
She has nothing to do at home every day, and most of the time except for accompanying the little lion is fitness, and she maintains a very good figure.
Tang Tian saw her come down, put down the basketball in his hand, and went over to kiss her.
"Honey, I'm in touch with Director Scott."
Olsen continued.
Tang Tian was a little surprised when he heard this, Olsen hadn't told him about this before.
However, it is understandable that Olsen has pursuits, and the matter between her and her two sisters has not been resolved.
There is still a big gap between the success of a movie and the sisters worth a billion.
"And then?"
"He said he didn't have any film plans recently, and if he had, he would be the first to come to me."
Olsen said with some frustration.
Scott was already an accomplished veteran director, and after the success of "The Martian", he really needed time to rest.
And there is no good script, and it can't boost his motivation.
There's nothing new to use in Scott's script, but when Olson says it, he thinks of someone.
When Scott invited him to dinner before, the guy was named David Yates, who was the director of the Harry Potter series.
