Media interviews didn't take up much time.

Two hours before the game, the Thunder players all came to the court, and the spectators were not allowed to enter.

The players are warming up.

Li Forest looked at the experience progress bar of his "backward jump shot LV1", which was already 630/10,000.

I trained in the morning, I didn't dare to practice too hard, for fear of consuming too much physical energy, which would affect my state tonight, and my desire for training is now bigger than anyone else, but the NBA's schedule is like this, there is no way.

Westbrook is still working on the matchup, and his form has steadily improved during this time, with his shooting percentage increasing from less than 30% at the beginning of the season to nearly 40%, and he has also finished in the top 3 in the rookie rankings.

Derrick Rose has been as consistent as ever this rookie season. He currently ranks first on the list for assists (6.3 times per game) and second on the scoring list (16.8 points per game) among all first-year players, averaging 37.0 minutes per game and 3.9 rebounds per game.

Rose shot 47.5 percent from the field and 78.8 percent from the free-throw line. Assists are the top of all rookies, and these are far more powerful than Willis.

Li Forest has participated in too few games, and the official has not ranked him very high, if he has maintained an average of 20+ performances per game, Ross will have to give way. But is it possible? Apparently impossible.

Li Linlin tried his hand on the court, although the attribute of long-range shooting was 75, Li Linlin tried to deliberately throw crookedly, and he could also throw 10 shots and miss.

It seems that this 75% shooting rate can only be shot by one's own focused shooting, which also proves that one's shooting is indeed its own ability, not a mechanical operation of the system.

Durant sat by and watched his teammates practice, wearing headphones and listening to songs, and he was not used to being out of the game due to injury, but he was almost full last season, which was one of the few injuries at the beginning of his career.

Hornets players warm up on the other side of the field.

Li Forest looked back at Chris Paul, the current queen bee is at the peak of her career, and the previous MVP battle almost pulled Kobe Bryant down, it's just awesome, don't want it, for the current self, it's a BOSS-level figure.

"System, look up Chris Paul's evaluation."

"SS Class"

"I'll rub it."

Li Linlin suddenly touched a handful of sweat, C vs. SS, do you still need to fight? At this time, Paul is definitely the top five in the MVP rankings, and after the start of this season, Chris Paul has more individual offensive opportunities and has become the absolute core of the Hornets.

So far this season, he has averaged a career-high 38.5 minutes per game, while averaging a career-high 22.8 points per game. In addition, he averaged 11 assists and 2.8 steals per game, both of which are the highest in the league.

Thinking of Paul's crazy state this season, Li Linlin felt that he and Wei Shao were going to be cold, and Wei Shao, who had just entered the S-level, also had to be abused, and he was even more tragic.

hesitated whether to go over and discuss with Wei Shao, whether to go to the bag together, but instantly thought that Paul is still the league's current assist king, if he goes to the pack, his pass may make the Thunder die more thoroughly, and then it will not be opened alone, but everyone in the Hornets.

It seems that no matter how you fight, it will be tragic, Li Linlin thought of a lot of plans and couldn't limit Paul, so he had to give up, and he was blown up, and he didn't ask to win if he saw what Brooks meant, and the whole world knew that the Thunder couldn't beat the Hornets. Especially the Thunder, where Durant was injured.

When I looked around, I saw David West, who gave up tens of millions of annual salaries in the future to join various strong teams only for the championship.

He is practicing mid-range shooting, and now West is averaging 21 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, and West is becoming more and more like Elton Brand, who is gradually becoming a super power forward who can contribute "20+10" scoring rebounds per game.

You know, he also has Tyson Chandler, known as the "rebounding machine", by his side.

West and Paul's blocking and dismantling tactics are well-known in the league, and the reason why the Hornets are so fierce is also because this person has a stable mid-range, although he doesn't have much star temperament, but Li Forest knows that this guy's strength is far greater than his fame, and his fame is only because of his position and style of play, which is unpretentious and can't attract many fans.

"What is David West's rating?"

“A+”

Fortunately, if you want another S, you have to..., forget it, it's not that S has to be cool, Li Linlin's thoughts are very pessimistic.

Although the opponent is very strong, Westbrook is obviously not afraid, even if the team's strength is not as good as the opponent, even if the team's top scorer is injured, it is obviously impossible to hope that he will disarm and surrender.

In the locker room, Westbrook was giving a leader-like speech and boosting morale, and soon, the Thunder players became screaming.

Li Forest was also watching Westbrook's speech, and slowly began to think about whether he was too negative energy.

This kind of mentality will gradually make you lose the kind of unyielding energy that you must have on the court, and before the game starts, your emotions will affect your state.

Looking at Wei Shao's momentum, Li Linlin also understood that his statistical performance was obviously not much different from the current Wei Shao, but no one in the team regarded him as a leader.

And everyone naturally acquiesced in Durant's absence, Wei Shao is the boss, it seems, he was born to be, and this has nothing to do with data.

Leadership is related to a person's aura, Li Linlin doesn't know how to lead a team now, and now he really has no confidence in his own strength.

Maybe when you have a strong strength as a foundation, a lot of them will come naturally, but there are two MVP-level characters around you who can learn from Li Linlin, and Li Linlin is not particularly anxious in this regard, and will only consider these things after his strength reaches the S-level.

Time flies and the game is about to begin.

This game is still broadcast live on the domestic network, because Li Linlin's performance yesterday was so outstanding, many netizens who came here wanted to see how the performance of Li Linlin, known as China's No. 1 defender, would be.

"Hello everyone, this game is still me and Ma Jianma's guide to explain for you...."

The narrator Moufan skillfully made the opening remarks.

"Coach Ma, what do you think of today's game?"

"Today's Thunder's Durant is absent, plus it is the second game of a back-to-back, although it is at home, but it is not physically advantageous, and the Thunder will play very hard."

"Well, yes, the team's top scorer is not up, and the impact on the Thunder is great, so do you think the Thunder have a chance today?"

"There are definitely opportunities, first of all, to limit Paul's tandem with the team, not to let him bring the Hornets to the rhythm, and then Westbrook and Lee Forest have to play the last game so that the Thunder have a chance to win."
