The locker room was silent for a moment.

"Come with me to the video room."

In the end, it was Brooks who broke the atmosphere.

The team members all stood up one after another.

Westbrook is going to pick up Durant at this point, too.

After a brief intra-team conflict, it returned to calm.

Once in the video room, Brooks began to psychoeducate the players.

The effect can be seen from the faces of the players is very average.

What he is good at is rookie development, and this kind of chicken soup work, he is obviously not as good as Doug Rivers and others.

After the psychological education, the team members are ready to go back one after another.

"Hey, James."

Before Harden left, Westbrook called out to him.

"I think you need to sit down and have a good chat with Kevin."

Westbrook continued.

"Kevin asked you to come?"

Harden asked rhetorically.

Westbrook shook his head.

Harden smiled helplessly.

'Yes I think you need to sit down and have a good talk with him because we have to stick together if we want to win.'

Westbrook continued.

"Russell, do you think the problem is really on my side?"

Harden looked at Westbrook very seriously, and then spoke.

Westbrook was stunned for a moment.

Before he could turn around, Harden had already turned and left.

"James!"

Westbrook shouted again, but Harden didn't look back, put his hood on, and disappeared directly from the end of the tunnel.

The Spurs won the first game and the morale of the team was very good.

Popovich is also in a good mood, and has only scheduled daily shooting and defensive training for the past few days.

You must know that Durant scored so many points and didn't win, and the Spurs had a big advantage in the series.

Three days passed quickly.

On May 29, the second game of the Thunder and Spurs Western Conference matchup continued at the ATT Arena, home of the Spurs.

Pre-match locker room.

"Don, are you going to run Durant again tonight?" Dior asked Tang Tian while changing his clothes.

His words also drew a burst of laughter from the other roommates.

This stalk has really become more popular than bathwater recently.

"He'll adjust."

Tang Tian said seriously.

Although he knows that Durant is not a real Grim Reaper yet, he is already a first-line superstar in the league.

Superstars are all very self-adjusting.

And Durant wants to win.

The night's game was still highly anticipated, with all the big three TNT on the sidelines.

The heat of the first game of the Western Conference Finals was unexpected, and this game was also highly anticipated.

However, after the game started, everyone was confused.

Not the Spurs.

The Spurs played this game almost the same as last time, and the only change was that Tang Tian didn't make many shots.

And it was the Thunder who brought about this change.

Kevin Durant.

This season's scoring champion, the league's second-largest small forward who scored 41 points in the last game, shot 0 in the half of this game!

All his energy was focused on defending Tang Tian!

Let Westbrook and Brooks persuade him off the court, he just won't make a move!

As a result, the Thunder trailed the Spurs by as many as 15 points at halftime!

At halftime, Brooks pulled Durant to chat alone.

Harden was there to talk to Perkins on the side.

When Westbrook saw this, he suddenly realized that the problem might really be with his good brother.

Coming back in the second half, Durant still didn't shoot much.

The Grim Reaper's game turned into a Du Bu attack.

The Thunder eventually lost to the Spurs 91-109 and trailed the series 2-0.

It was a completely different game than everyone expected.

Even Tang Tian was stunned, he thought that the Thunder and Durant would make adjustments, but he wouldn't have thought that it would be this kind of adjustment!

On social media after the game, fans also fried the pot.

"Durant doesn't want bathwater anymore?! Why did you suddenly give up on yourself? ”

"Maybe he's finally realizing that the bathwater doesn't taste good."

"I think it's the Thunder who have a problem with, and the Thunder have all their shots with Westbrook, and he's taken 35 shots alone."

"Really, Harden only made less than 10 shots in this game, what the hell is going on?"

"I'm so excited to be a stab, is this going to be in the finals?"

"Popovich: Before I could exert my strength, you fell."

……

The speculation of the outside world is not groundless, and the Thunder are really in danger.

Even this situation is not something that head coach Brooks can control.

After the first two games of the Western Conference finals, the Thunder also flew back to Oklahoma City.

The next two games of the series will be played on the Thunder's home court.

The Thunder returned home, and Brooks scheduled his daily shooting drills.

Harden and Durant are still not looking at anyone.

At the end of practice, Harden left early.

Westbrook called Durant to the bathroom alone at this time.

"Kevin, stop being angry with yourself, do you want to watch our season end here because of this?"

Much like what Harden said, and more direct, Westbrook's personality is much more outgoing than Harden's.

But Durant is not angry, Harden is just a teammate to him, but Westbrook is his friend.

"We need Kevin Durant, the Durant who can score, the Durant who will lead the team."

Westbrook said as he reached out and smacked Durant's chest.

Durant didn't speak, but nodded.

The same thing depends on who says it.

Harden said it didn't work, Brooks said it didn't work, but Westbrook said Durant would listen.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that if he continued to fight like this, he would lose more than just the pinnacle of life that was close at hand.

And their work all season and even the future of this team.

"That's right!"

Seeing Durant's head, Westbrook put a smile on his face, put his arm on Durant's shoulder and walked out.

The situation of falling behind 0-2 put Brooks under a lot of pressure, and after studying in the office for a long time, he walked out with his briefcase.

As he walked through the bathroom, he was stunned when he saw Westbrook and Durant come out with their shoulders hooked.

Both of them are?

However, seeing that Durant already had a smile on his face, he was immediately relieved.

It seems that in the next game, the team should not be so passive again.

The third game of the Western Conference Finals was played at the Pisacek Energy Arena.

Despite being 2-0 down and the team looking a little precarious, the enthusiasm of the fans in the city remained undiminished.

For a team in such a small city, the fan base is very solid.

The Pisacek Energy Arena was full of attendance, and the fans held up the KT boards of the four less, and the atmosphere was extremely strong.

When the Thunder team members came out, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

And what made them even more excited was that Westbrook pulled Durant's arm with his left hand and put his right hand on Harden's shoulder, and the three of them walked out talking and laughing!
