After the Eastern and Western finals were determined, a new wave of publicity in the league also began, as a rookie in 07-08, Huang Yu, Durant and Rose can be said to be in the limelight! Although Westbrook also had a good performance with the Thunder, he was always behind the front three.

In the Thunder, he is just a second-in-command, after all, before the Thunder changed its name, it was determined that Durant would be the new cornerstone! Even if you change cities, you won't be easily shaken, not to mention Durant's performance has always been very eye-catching, although after Huang Yu played out with the Lakers, there is some meaning to fight against Durant, but the Thunder has no intention of changing the cornerstone, on the one hand, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a seedling like Durant, even if there is, the Thunder may not be able to get it!

Second, because the Thunder are really not attractive, when they bought the Seattle SuperSonics, Oklahoma owner Bennett and his partners played tricks, and they said in a letter to former owner Schultz that as long as they could negotiate a suitable stadium on loan, then the team would stay in Seattle.

As a result, he didn't think that the other party would deceive himself, after all, it was the big boss who wanted to make credibility, so Schultz didn't analyze it carefully, so he sold Seattle! The boss is Bennett, of course, and his partner is the two founders of the famous Chesapeake Energy, Obernie McClendon and Tom Ward (not a Hollywood actor)!

But they opened their mouths and wanted a new stadium of 500 million US dollars to become the new home of the supersonics, and the result was naturally that the talks collapsed, so that the high cost would suddenly make the government use taxpayers' money significantly, and it would easily lead to the breaking of the capital chain.

Desperate to be rejected, they began a series of operations, first of all, they were interviewed by a Seattle newspaper, claiming that they bought SuperSonics because they loved basketball, but they couldn't even make a minimum breakneck in Seattle, and said that if they moved to Oklahoma, the city is full of vitality, much better than Seattle, and the city's fan base is very large, what if there is an NBA team, in short, it is revealed that the team will be moved.

Even if it was true, the remarks of McClendon and others instantly ignited the anger of the NBA president, who quickly sent a letter to Bennett, saying that if McClendon wanted to accompany the team, then he would pay a large fine.

As a result, their minds turned quickly, and in order to avoid damage to their credibility and money, they decided to stabilize Mr. President, saying that they and others did not want to move the team, and the members of their own team never thought about it, they were just saying that we would not really do it if.

But their approach deceived Mr. President, and he was directly fired with a fine of 250,000 US dollars, and slapped him hard.

Things are getting bigger and bigger, and the former owner of SuperSonic, Schultz, also received the news, so he applied to cancel the deal on the grounds that the acquisition content did not match the contract! His intention was to force the men to sell their stakes to avoid legal trouble, so that an owner who wanted to keep the team in Seattle would be accepted, and the best candidate would be Microsoft's Ballmer.

Not only did Schultz stand up and fight for the SuperSonics to stay in Seattle, but even the city of Seattle was suing their team, hoping to organize their relocation so that Schultz and others could have time to operate.

But you're moving, Bennett they're moving, first of all, Oklahoma passed a $120 million tax incentive to improve downtown venues and build a new training base! So where does this money come from? Naturally, it is the supersonic team, they reached a stadium lease agreement with the mayor of Oklahoma, and it will be 15 years at once, and the city government will naturally contribute if it has political achievements, so Schultz was warned that he had no choice but to withdraw the lawsuit, after all, he is a master, if he is forced! Then it is he who loses.

So the supersonic moved to Oklahoma and became the Thunder, and it was unimpeded, and Mr. President could not personally intervene in the normal operation of the team, no!

----------

The Mavericks have home-court advantage against the Thunder! Although a few of the owners of the Thunder have time to come to the West Finals, Cuban did not go to accompany him, but stood on the sidelines and was very excited, after all, the team came here again, as long as they won, they will be able to be ashamed, and in the face of the Thunder New Army, the Mavericks have no reason to lose, Carlisle said that the team is fully capable of solving the Thunder, the problem is to solve a few games!

"Let's hope our boys can do their best! If the team wins the championship in a short time after moving to Oklahoma, then you and I will have a lot of prestige in the hearts of the fans! After all, it was we who brought them the team and the championship! ”

McClendon looked at his friend next to him and said! Although his own money is relatively small, Bennett is the boss in name, but during the negotiation, he really harvested a wave of attention, and now he pushes Bennett up, so that Stern's guy will not pay attention to the Thunder often, after all, he has shaken (deceived) him.

"Of course, we have Durant a super scorer, and Westbrook is not bad, even if last year's rookie, Harden, although young, has gradually shown his talent, even if he can't win the championship this year, he will definitely get what he wants in 3 years!"

Bennett knows the ball better than McClendon, although the Thunder are brave this year, but the consumption is too great, I'm afraid there is no hope, but he can't say it directly, after all, his old friend can't be stimulated! So he could only comfort him mellowly.

"We've played so well this year, don't we have a chance?"

McClendon was stunned, how could his old friend say frustrating words, this year's Thunder has a great advantage in the playoffs, especially when the Big Three of the Eastern Heat have just been formed, and it is an opportunity when the foothold is not stable! But once the triumvirate is run-in, it is hugely powerful! It's hard to win the championship.

"There is a chance, but not us! See the number 1 of the calf below! ”

Bennett pointed to Huang Yu, who was shooting.

"See! A guy with a lot of personality, and his ability is very good, and the most important thing is that he didn't go to jail after beating Sterling! ”

McClendon said with a laugh.

"What you said is very good, very personal, more able to make news than Durant, and the ability is definitely no longer below Durant, and the most important thing is that he is not an ordinary player! The first thing I did when I learned that he joined the Mavericks was to make a bet with Cuban to steal the scoring title, I knew he was restless! And he also made a bet with Cuban that if he failed to help the Mavericks win the championship, he would renew his contract with the Mavericks for 2 years and 1 million! ”

Bennett turned over the memories in his head and told them to McClendon!

"It's really arrogant, how did he know that the Mavericks would win the championship this year? If you don't win the championship, you won't have to play for two years in vain! With his ability, it is estimated that he can get tens of millions in the next contract! ”

McClendon immediately made a judgment when he heard this, this kid is not a personality, but crazy! How can you make such a bet?

"You're wrong, he really doesn't care about money or anything, Sterling didn't send him to prison after he was beaten, there is a rumor that he is an invisible rich man, although he may not have as much money as Sterling, but he can use more funds than Sterling! If you choose to fight a lawsuit, it must be Sterling who will be dragged down, although it may be in poor condition because you often have to appear in court, but the first person who can't bear it must be Sterling! Don't look at the old man's madness, but he will definitely not use the method of injuring 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 himself.

And the other way to put it is simple, this guy has Sterling's life in his hand, so that Sterling does not dare to touch him easily! Personally, I prefer the latter one, after all, the hidden rich still play in the NBA? Although there are indeed a lot of rich people in the NBA, they are worth about the same as Sterling, and there is no possibility of believing this statement at all! ”

Bennett's strength analysis was a wave, in fact, he almost guessed correctly, Huang Yu did pinch a little pigtail of Sterling, but because it was just a backup, it would not be easily taken out unless it was absolutely necessary, but the first one of his analysis was actually right, but because the system operation was too perfect, Huang Yu's net worth was generally at the level of NBA stars except for the US government.

McClendon nodded, did not continue the topic, and did not have much intention of trading Huang Yu to the Thunder, after all, Durant is not worse than Huang Yu, is he, and with Westbrook and Harden assisting, I believe that the Thunder will rise, but it will take a little more time.

----------

Huang Yu said hello to Westbrook and Durant, but as for Hakishi Huang Yu ignored him, after all, he is just a substitute now, and the sixth person in the United League is not happy! And when I saw him, I remembered the beard on his face, although Huang Yu also had a little mustache, but that was to add to the charm of a man, as for his beard, except for being dirty, it was completely unbeautiful, and even the gray one was a hundred times more pleasing to the eye than him!

At the beginning of the game, Nowitzki was the first to make a move, he scored the first 6 points of the Mavericks, and then Huang Yu hit a three-pointer under Durant's defense, but more time was spent on defending Durant, and Huang Yu, who had doubled his direct attributes in a few years, planned to give up his personal scoring and stare at Durant!

As long as one of the Thunder twin stars is dumb, the game will be much better, the Mavericks started the game with a wave of 10-0, but then Durant hit a three-pointer with a cover, and Kidd made a mistake in the passing process, and Westbrook was strong and assisted Sefrosa to hit a three-point shot.

But to be honest, Durant doesn't dare to defend Huang Yu too much now, because he feels that he hasn't seen him for two months, Huang Yu's body is getting stronger and stronger, as long as he exerts his strength, he is easy to lose his defensive position, and once Huang Yu hits the basket, he can contain the defense of the Thunder's interior line, so that the Mavericks get more opportunities.

But the Thunder were lucky, after the first 3 minutes, the Mavericks' feel changed dramatically, and in the second round the Mavericks buried the Lakers with a three-point rain, but today except for Huang Yu, the other people's three-point hand was not good, giving the Thunder many opportunities.

The Thunder didn't let the opportunity slip away, and the right to hit the Mavericks' inside line! He wants to make the Mavericks' inside line make mistakes, so as to expand their own inside advantage.

----------

However, they obviously think too much, and Westbrook alone is still a little weak, but Durant beats Huang Yu in addition to long-range shots, and wants to break through to make kills, Huang Yu doesn't give Durant a chance at all!

Stuck in Durant's offensive line is to let you shoot! What do you want! This is also the response plan given by Carlisle.

Durant is a scorer, although his ability is still relatively immature, but at least he has Kobe's seventy-percent ability, as for why not say eighty percent or nine layers, that is, Kobe Bryant is now in the late stage of his peak, it can be said that his current ability is in a steady and slightly declining position, such as his own ten-layer strength, showing only nine or eight layers! But once the state is better, you can immediately reach your peak, and if the state is bursting, then it is not impossible to surpass yourself!

And Durant is still in a state of catch-up! If the Mavericks don't have yellow rain, then Carlisle will let Durant make a move to prevent the Thunder from killing others, even if Durant is in good shape, what can one person do! And he is a human being, not a god, and he can't be in such a good state all the time.

And now that the Mavericks have Huang Yu, and Huang Yu is not very disadvantaged in defending Durant, and he is very physically strong, so consume Durant's physical strength as much as possible, so that every time he attacks is in high difficulty, then his state will disappear faster.

Although Durant can still score in the next time, he has to use his best to create space for movement in every single! And the Mavericks often choose to wrap the ball during the march to force him to pass the ball, although there are also bags that are not timely, and the body contact is too large and Durant makes a foul, but the referee can't always blow like this.

However, it is obvious that the Mavericks' three-point shot today is really not powerful, 7 shots in the first quarter, only Huang Yu's two shots hit, and the rest are all missed, and the Thunder led by two points at 27-25 in the first quarter.

But Terry started to go crazy after coming on the court in the second quarter, catching the ball was a long-range three-pointer, and then the Mavericks' shooters began to get their senses back, with Balia and Stevenson hitting three-pointers respectively, while the Thunder's offense was a little impatient, and the Mavericks gradually overtook it.

With 4 minutes and 26 seconds left in the second quarter, the Thunder also led by 1 point at 45-44, Chandler made a layup to exceed the score, at this time Kidd made a long pass after a steal, Huang Yu received the ball and hit a three-point shot, and then the Thunder attacked Westbrook three-point disloyalty, the rebound was confiscated by Chandler, Kidd took the ball across the halfway line, just watched Huang Yu want the ball, after passing the ball, Huang Yu took a step outside the three-point line and hit directly, the Mavericks ended the quarter with a wave of 16-3, and exceeded 55-48 in one fell swoop, and the Thunder failed to shoot again in the last 4 points of the quarter under the Mavericks' defense.

Nowitzki scored 21 points on 8-of-9 shooting in the first half, while Huang Yu only scored 17 points, but 15 of them were three-pointers and 5-of-5 three-pointers.
