All the fans saw the determination that LI couldn't wait to appear on a bigger stage!!
This is their team, and this season's Thunder have a blood-pumping offensive rhythm, and they have brought Thunder fans to the top countless times with wonderful shots brought by their talents.
All of the Russian City fans have been with the Thunder for the past year and a half, and the fans and players have grown together.
The Thunder also made the next step into the playoffs in the presence of fans. This is an absolute first for many Thunder fans.
So this season, when the Thunder really confirmed the playoff spots, Thunder fans let go of all criticism and dissatisfaction with management, coaching staff and players.
They began to protect their favorite players, taking the initiative to help the players refute rumors on the Internet, and to fight against black fans.
Die-hard fans are creating the perfect image of the players they love in their sports treasure bags, and they are doing everything they can to promote every Thunder player.
Downtown Ohlahoma City's main thoroughfares, streets, and around the Ford Center are covered with posters of Thunder players.
During this time, the fans of the Russian city were united.
They are ready to use their passion to welcome the Thunder playoffs.
The citizens of Ohlahoma City know that days with basketball games are going to be some of the most exciting sports moments in Ohlahoma for the rest of the day.
When reporters from CCTV and Sina appeared on the streets of Ohlahoma City, they were all shocked by the enthusiasm of the fans in Ohlahoma City.
Soon, Ohlahoma City had a nickname.
"City of Hustle"!!
…………
The Thunder entered the Western Conference playoffs with many giants in just their second season!
The Thunder's ranking has all fans looking forward to their playoff journey.
Tickets to Ohrahoma City's two playoff games sold out in just 10 minutes.
Regardless of the final outcome of this playoff trip, it has proven that the efforts of the Thunder's management and coaching staff in recent years have been successful.
The three seeds they picked in the draft have begun to bear fruit, and the Thunder's average points per game is 31+25+22, which is the highest offensive firepower in the league and rare in history. For two consecutive years, the management selected three future supergiants who averaged more than 20+ per game, so that the Thunder's draft was highly praised by experts and fans.
.....................
"Hurry up and whirlwind!! The ultimate showdown of small balls! ”
"The talent is full of old and strong!"
"Son of the Wind VS Thunder Three Less!"
"Will the young Thunder be able to withstand the Suns?"
The media also warmed up for the upcoming Suns vs. Thunder game before the game.
The Thunder's players rushed to the training gym as soon as the regular season ended.
With four days to go until the playoffs officially start, everyone seems to be unable to wait.
Tactical drills are over.
Westbrook, Durant, Collisson, Danny Green, Gibson, Ibaka, Chandler and others all walked into the locker room.
And Li Forest was waiting in the locker room in advance.
Look at the players in the dressing room are almost all gathered.
Li Linlin pointed to the two large boxes, stood up and glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, this is the first trip to the playoffs for many of us, and I have specially prepared a gift for everyone. ”
Westbrook looked at the two large boxes in front of Li Forest and shouted, "Li, is it a Chinese specialty?" Haha, I am very happy to receive such a gift. ”
Durant picked up a towel and wiped his sweat: "I guess it's an adult toy, one per person, let everyone have a good time before the playoffs, haha"
"Phew!"
Durant's words caused the players in the locker room to burst into laughter.
The atmosphere of the Thunder is getting better and better, and the success of this season has brought the eyes of the world to their sophomore team, and almost everyone has enjoyed the lights of the media and the love of the fans.
"Oh!!"
Collison didn't have ink, and directly opened the two super big boxes in front of Li Linlin!!
A suit was presented to everyone.
Li Linlin looked at his teammates with surprise on their faces and said: "Each person has a suit, no brand label, and the price is about 10,000 US dollars, all of which are worn when we play the opening game of the playoffs, and it will definitely shock the audience when the time comes!" Ha ha! ”
Li Forest shamelessly copied James's practice in his previous life in 2018.
He had the plan in place a few weeks ago and had the tailor measure his teammates, which cost him about $150,000.
Westbrook grew his mouth, picked up a suit in his hand and said, "Wow! Cool, Lee, I love you to death. ”
Harden also looked at Li Forest with a cute face.
He can imagine how shocking the visual impact of the 15 members of the team appearing on the sidelines in uniform custom suits will be.
Customizing suits for teammates is not only a practical use, but also a subtle psychological cue.
Li Forest is learning to follow James's leadership style, learn to agitate the atmosphere, let the Thunder be completely tied together, and the customized uniform suit can also show the atmosphere of unity of the whole team.
"OK, we'll put it all on before the race!! Shock Phoenix! ”
Durant also understood what Li Forest meant, and instantly cooperated with everyone to encourage everyone.
“OK!!”
All the Thunder players were excited to get their suits!
They're going to make headlines together.
After two seasons of running-in, Durant and Westbrook have become more mature, and the greenness on their faces has basically disappeared.
After the start of 2010, Durant threw away his school bag, Westbrook dressed more fancy, and Lee Forest had a little more poise.
...............
April 18, 2010.
"The legend will start tonight! Thunderstorm is coming! ”
Li Forest posted a status with INS!
At night!
The Thunder's playoff opener will begin in Phoenix, who have no home-court advantage.
At 6 p.m. local time in Phoenix, when all 15 members of the Thunder team wore the same style and the same color suit appeared in the pre-game interview area, it caused a very shocking sensation for the media at the scene.
Compared with the Thunder male model team, the Phoenix Suns players looked extremely rustic in their outfits, so the reporters' long guns and short guns instantly slammed towards the Thunder players, and the Thunder generals became the focus of media discussion.
Seeing that the momentum of the entry fell to the downside, this is their home court, this scene in the eyes of the Suns' Amar Stoudemire made him extremely angry, Xiao Si said to the only two reporters around him: "They don't look like they're here to play!" Tonight we will teach these young people a hard lesson who don't know how high the sky is. ”
Steve Nash, who has a 13-year NBA career, MVP for two consecutive years, a top guard in the league, and the offensive core of the team, said: "Haha, I like such opponents, they will regret attracting so many eyes tonight. ”
Nash's eyes were fixed on Westbrook and Lee Forest.
