Chapter 355: The old man had never seen such a brazen person
April 12th.
The Ohrahhoma City Thunder have their final game of the regular season at home. The opponent is the Minnesota Timberwolves, the league's underdogs in their district. As long as the performance is normal, then the Thunder will definitely not have a problem winning this game.
It is said that such a game has been decided, and the ranking of the Thunder and the Timberwolves will not have any turmoil because of the victory or defeat of this game, the Thunder still sit in the second place in the West, and the Timberwolves continue to sit in the penultimate position in the West, which is very stable.
But there were a lot of reports about this game before the game, of course, it was not that there was any grudge between these two teams, nor was there any holiday between the players of these two teams, everyone was only concerned about one thing, that is, how many points Kevin Durant would score in this game!
As Kevin Durant, who is currently ranked second in the scoring list per game, as long as he can score 25 more points than Yi Jianlian in the last game, then he can complete the counterattack at the last moment of the season and get back the scoring champion that originally belonged to him.
You must know that for most of this season, he was ranked first in the scoring list, and only recently was overtaken by Yi Jianlian.
It's like Kevin Duran ordered a steak, bought it with a list, and the steak was ready, and everyone knew that he was going to eat this steak, but when this steak was brought to him, Yi Jianlian took the steak away with a clip under his nose.
Who can stand this?
Anyway, Kevin Durant is not reconciled, now this is the last chance, he wants to cut the score desperately in the last game, and snatch the scoring champion back in the end.
But...... He was still a little hesitant.
He is afraid of being criticized, and when the time comes, he wins the scoring title, but he is ridiculed by the fans like David Robinson, then he can't stand it!
He, Kevin Durant, lives a very delicate life, and the most unbearable thing is to be complained about.
But if he just watched the scoring champion he had kept for most of the season being taken away by Yi Jianlian, he felt uncomfortable.
In short, Kevin Durant is entangled!
"It's time to go, Kevin!"
“……”
Just when he was still thinking nonsense, Westbrook came, taking James Harden with him, and this time Kevin Durant also specially found a remote corner to think about life, how did these two goods come about?
"Kevin, have you ever considered a question?" Westbrook looked at Kevin Durant rather seriously.
"Huh?"
"Yi's last game is tomorrow!"
"So?"
"He can score back-to-back 60 without scoring points, are you sure you want to score points in this game?" James Harden added.
“……”
"In this case, you have to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant to be able to take the scoring title from him!"
“……”
"It's just a possibility, in case you don't get the scoring title in the end, I'm afraid you'll be worse than David Robinson."
“……”
Harden and Westbrook said a word to me In the end, Kevin Durant gradually realized the seriousness of brushing points, and he thought of a problem that he had been ignoring, that is, he may not be able to brush the scoring champion, Yi Jianlian's scoring ability is no worse than him, if he can't brush the scoring champion:
"Hahaha, is Kevin Durant here to be funny? He asked the whole team to accompany him to brush up the score, and in the end, he was taken away by Yi to win the score! It's really stupid! ”
"Do you just want to be the top scorer? Hey, that's pathetic, let me hug you, Kevin. ”
"Maybe Kevin will call Yi directly next time! Maybe for the sake of the same period, he will give you the scoring champion next time! ”
……
No, it's absolutely not going to work!
"Forget it, don't brush, don't brush, let's play normally today!"
Kevin Durant couldn't get the scoring title at the thought of scoring, and the fans suddenly shuddered when they sneered, completely dispelling the idea of scoring.
***
"Toot!"
The final whistle blew and the Thunder beat the Timberwolves 114-97 at home.
This result did not come as a surprise.
The only thing that didn't make fans think was that Kevin Durant played extremely reasonably and efficiently today, shooting 11 of 19, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws, and got 31 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
This data is no different from the usual Kevin Durant except for the shooting rate, but the problem is that he only played three quarters of game time - in the last game of the regular season, as long as Kevin Durant brushes 25 more points than Yi Jianlian, he can get the scoring champion this season, and the opponent is still such a "sending team", Kevin Durant actually didn't want to score at all, and took the initiative to apply for being replaced when the Thunder led by 15 points in the third quarter, which really surprised almost all fans.
Co-author Kevin Durant doesn't mean to win the scoring title?
"Hey, Kevin, can you tell me what the hell is going on in your mind? Why did you choose to clock in three nights tonight, don't you know what you're going to lose? ”
At the post-game press conference, a reporter asked this question, Kevin Durant pulled his bag belt and said: "Compared to the scoring champion, well, I care more about the upcoming playoffs, for me, this is the most important thing, one thing that is well known, this is my first playoffs, I hope to go further!" As for the rest, that's not my main consideration. ”
Wow!
And voila!
Look at Kevin Durant's mentality, it's amazing!
"Seriously, I didn't know much about Kevin Durant before, so I didn't have a good impression of him, but now I have to say that Kevin Durant is very handsome, he is really amazing!"
"The temptation of scoring champions can be resisted, come on Kevin, I'm sure you can go far in your first playoff game!"
"Kevin Durant, it's good to have you in Ohla Home!"
Kevin Durant's explanation of clocking out in the last three quarters was reported, which suddenly made him rise a lot of fans, for this group of fans, Kevin Durant's ability to give up the scoring title for the playoffs is very team, which is something that many superstars can't do!
"Kevin Durant is still glorious despite defeat!"
Belch......
“……”
“……”
Westbrook and James Harden were waiting to eat burgers at the burger joint, looking at what Kevin Durant said, as well as the messages from the fans below, and looked at each other speechlessly.
There is only one sentence left in my heart...... The old man has never seen such a brazen person!
