Chapter 252: If You Win the Championship, I'll Let You Drink Bath Water (2/5)

It's 58 again!

When the final whistle blew, there were earth-shattering cheers and whistles.

But at this time, the most ugly expressions were the two people.

One is Paul and the other is Billups.

In 2009, in Game 3 of the first round between the Nuggets and the Hornets, the Nuggets defeated the Hornets 121-63 at home.

At the time, Billups played for the Nuggets and Paul played for the Hornets.

That game also became an indelible label on Paul.

But no one expected that time had passed, Billups and Paul had become teammates, but now they were slaughtered by another team by 58 points!

Paul left the venue early without even attending the handshake.

Billups looked a little depressed at this time, and he felt that he was ...... Got to pay off your debts?

On the other side of the court, the serious expression on Popovich's face finally disappeared.

What he hates most is when others are screaming in front of his eyes.

He's a coach, there's no way he's going to jump in front of his opponent and slap them in the face, or just start a war of words.

But pressing someone the ground and rubbing it is much more refreshing.

"No training tomorrow."

Back in the locker room, Popovich smiled and said to the players.

The old man is in a good mood.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

To say that the Clippers also did it themselves.

Win and win, you have to jump so much.

And don't look at who's on the other side.

If this had been another coach, it might have been won back, but it was Popovich.

It's not comfortable if you don't win 58 points!

"Touch Williams is the biggest gun, he actually missed the last 3-pointer!"

"I've heard that there is a website in China called 58.com, and it's very popular."

"Is this special mother metaphysics? Lost 58 in the Western Conference semifinals twice, which is really unprecedented! ”

"There must be the hand of God that operates all this!"

"God said that he didn't carry this pot, and the person who operated all this must be a 3-second man~"

After the Western Conference semifinals, fans also chatted all night.

In the East, the 76ers and the Celtics are inextricably matched, and the Heat and the Pacers are tied 2-2, and it is still unknown who will advance.

But on the Western side, the Thunder also defeated the Lakers 106-90 and advanced to the Western Conference finals with a score of 4-1.

With two Los Angeles teams out, the two teams in the Western Conference have been decided, the Spurs and the Thunder.

The two teams are first in the West and second in the West, which is expected.

One is a traditional powerhouse, and the other is an upstart in the league.

This is definitely the most anticipated matchup in the West.

The Spurs won to continue the legend, and the Thunder won more completely, directly rising from the Thunder.

And in addition to the team, the grievances between Tang Tian and Durant will never be forgotten by fans.

After losing the regular season before, Durant can still say that he has a bad hand, but if he loses the Western Finals, then he will really lose face.

Strong and strong meet, and full of personal grievances, this group of duels has not yet started.

However, perhaps this is not enough, the day after the Western Conference semifinals, a reporter interviewed Scarlett Johansson, who was present at the event.

"We all know that Kevin Durant said he wanted to drink your bathwater, what do you think about it?"

This journalist is really bold.

However, Scarlett laughed happily after hearing this, and did not blush or show disgust or anything.

It can be seen that he is still relatively open in this area.

"Is he playing now?"

After Scarlett finished laughing, she asked the reporter in turn.

"His team just made it to the division semi-finals, and if they win, they're going to be in the finals."

The reporter was afraid that Scarlett didn't know about the NBA, so he deliberately explained more.

"Oh, that's it."

Scarlett nodded.

"If he can win a championship, I can think about what he said."

Scarlett's next words stunned the reporter.

What did he say?

Isn't this just drinking bath water?

Scarlett means that Durant will give him bath water when he wins the championship?!

This news is a bit exciting!

Sure enough, after the news was released, Twitter exploded directly.

"Oh, Kevin Durant come out, do you hear me? You've got a chance to drink the bath water! ”

"What does the bathwater smell like?"

"It depends on what brand of shower gel Scarlett uses~ (>▽<)"

"You are so simple, you really think you drink bath water! It's a hint that if Durant wins the championship, they can try to get along! ”

"It seems to make sense, Durant is tall, rich, and a little handsome."

"This is an absolute good thing for the Thunder, Durant is definitely going to fight chicken blood!"

"Turns out Scarlett is a thunderbolt!"

……

In the daily training of the Thunder team, Durant is in good shape, and he has been humming in the locker room after practice, and he is in a very good mood.

Westbrook was also very happy to see it, the two played together for four years, and he already regarded Durant as his best brother.

When his brother is happy, he is naturally happy.

He had already figured out that he would try to contact Scarlett when he got back, and then send Durant a small gift.

In this way, when the Thunder team really wins the championship, Durant will really have a chance to be with Scarlett.

Because the Eastern Conference Finals are still in full swing, in order to balance the time, the Western Conference Finals will also be delayed.

In the most extreme case, if there is a tie-break in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Western Conference finals will not be played until a week later.

The league also seized the opportunity to announce the results of the various rosters for the regular season at this time.

Regular awards, like Sixth Man of the Year, Rookie of the Year and even MVP, are very important.

But the lineup is also a very big affirmation of the performance of the players.

The lineup includes the All-Defensive Team, All-Defensive Team, All-Rookie Team, and the corresponding Second and Third Team.

The first to be announced is the rookie lineup.

The rookie lineup has a first and second lineup.

Second team: Isaiah Thomas, Marshon Brooks, Chandler Parsons, Derrick Williams, Tristan Thompson.

An important indicator of whether or not a draft year is the performance of non-lottery rookies in the league.

In this second-team lineup, Brooks is the No. 25 pick, Parsons is the No. 38 pick, and Thomas is the No. 60 pick.

And all three of them have already started on their respective teams in their rookie seasons, which shows that this year is a real draft year.

Including Williams and Thompson, they are already real starters for the team.

The second formation is still like this, and a while can be imagined.

First lineup: Irving, Knight, Rubio, Tang Tian, Walker, Klay Thompson, Faried.

The best team has a rule that when the results of the polls are tied, they will be selected together.

This year, there was a tie, so there were seven people in the best team.

Among these 7 people, the names of Owen, Walker, Tang Tian, and Thompson are impressively listed.

The four brothers who worked hard directly accounted for half of the best lineup, and more!

Putting aside everything else, this verifies what Tang Tian said at the beginning, hard work pays off!

Of course, the same can be said for a player: if a player has improved significantly after changing teams, they must have worked hard in the summer.
