Chapter 164, Talent and Jokes!
Away games have always been difficult to play, especially consecutive away games, but Li Forest didn't expect it to be difficult to play like this.
In the first game of the road trip, the Thunder beat the Spurs 88 to 98.
Offensively, Manuplus Parker, who had recovered his health, exploded in unison with Duncan, and the Thunder were powerless to parry.
Defensively, Popovich worked out a plan to restrain the Thunder's singles tactics.
The Thunder played extremely hard in San Antonio this time.
Lee's weakness of shooting more than breaking through is infinitely magnified. Westbrook's weakness in shooting was also targeted. Durant can't be so calm in the face of the pinch attack.
The Thunder lost by 10 points in this game.
Two consecutive defeats.
Lee Forest had 10 points and four assists.
……
Game 2 of the road trip, Thunder 90-95 Hornets.
Chris Paul faced Lee Forest and Westbrook to fully demonstrate his demeanor as one of the league's top point guards.
Li Linlin's white chocolate passing experience and the pirated version of the Wonderful Legend King met the genuine Queen Bee Wonderful Legend King, which seemed extremely immature.
The sassy pass is thrown out in front of Paul like a child's house......
Westbrook, on the other hand, has more turnovers than assists.
Durant regained the memory of playing the Iron King last season in this game.
After three consecutive defeats, three young people continued to slump, and Li Forest scored 12 points and 6 assists.
……
The third game of the road trip.
Thunder 111 to 115 Trail Blazers.
In this battle, the three young thunderers faced Huang Mamba and Ade.
The two teams played against each other for a whole game, and in the end, the Thunder missed a key shot at the last moment due to excessive physical exertion, and Westbrook lost.
Four-game losing streak. Lee Forest had 20 points and 3 assists in this game.
……
The fourth game of the road trip.
Thunder 95 to 98 Bobcats.
Lynx waits for work.
The Thunder are in the middle of their road trip.
The Bobcats' Gerard Wallace and Felton broke out together, and the Thunder three were still suffering from physical problems, playing iron frequently, and finally lost by three points, and were successfully avenged by the Bobcats.
The Thunder made 18 of 60 shots in total, and the shooting percentage was pitiful.
Five straight defeats. Lee Forest shot just 6-of-16 from the field and finished with 15 points and three assists.
In the fifth game of the road trip, the Thunder faced the Eastern Conference underdog Wizards.
Thunder 99-119 Wizards.
It was a back-to-back game, and after the Bobcats, the Thunder went straight to Washington. Their physical fitness was at its limit.
Antoine Jamison, Blatche both broke out, completely blowing up the Thunder's interior.
The overall strength of the Wizards is actually similar to that of the Thunder, and it is also a weak team.
But they ran into the Thunder, who played four in a row, and Durant played normally, but Westbrook. With Li Forest, they are still inefficient, and their heavy footwork makes them unable to keep up with the offensive rhythm of the Wizards, and defense has become an ornament.
The Thunder's heavy defeat on the road is not news.
And in the final moments, Westbrook, the iron man who has never been out, accidentally sprained his ankle when he hit the basket in garbage time, and went off the court with an injury, and needed to be out of action for 2 weeks.
After six consecutive defeats, Li Forest scored 11 points and 4 assists.
After five straight road trips, the Thunder are back at home.
The Thunder are back at home and desperately need to get back into shape.
The first game after returning was against the Kings.
But in this crucial battle, the king's outside line is bursting.
Kevin Martin hit nine three-pointers, Udri and Salmons both went on a rampage, and with Westbrook's absence, Lee Forest struggled to stand alone on the guard.
At the last moment, Durant couldn't score the ball.
The Thunder lost again.
Seven consecutive defeats, in this game, Li Linlin started the game, got another double-double, 20 points and 11 assists.
After this battle, the Thunder have lost seven in a row, and conflicts have begun to appear in the locker room.
Straight Chris Westcox publicly blamed boss Durant for the team's loss.
Durant just glanced at Wilcox and didn't respond.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the locker room was tense.
Westbrook and Li Forest were silent when they heard this, thinking about how to change the current situation.
Westbrook caused a backlash from Brooks after he sprained his garbage time.
There were also contradictions between the generals.
Trapped internally and externally, the Thunder at this time urgently needs victory to get rid of the decline.
This is the first time that Li Forest has experienced such a long losing streak and such a poor dressing room atmosphere.
After losing at the beginning, Li Linlin felt very sad and wanted to get revenge immediately and want to win the next game.
But.
Tournaments are not something you can win if you want to.
Over time, Li Forest also became slowly numb.
This losing streak has fully demonstrated the rookie nature of the Thunder, and everyone on the team is extremely unstable, including Durant.
After the Thunder's loss, the record also returned to the second-to-last position in the West, only better than the Clippers' record.
The Thunder are tied for the second to last place with the King, and are ranked behind the King because they are at a disadvantage in the engagement.
The Thunder's losing streak continues.
The second home game after the Ford Center trip will once again take on the San Antonio Spurs.
This is the third meeting between the two sides this season.
In this matchup, the Thunder's style of play is still being figured out, plus Westbrook is absent.
Popovich's tactical arrangement beat Brooks again, and the Spurs took the lead from the opening and firmly controlled the situation.
GDP is on the back foot again, beating the Thunder for the third time this season.
The score was 96 to 90 for the Spurs and the Thunder.
At this point, the Thunder had lost eight in a row.
……
After this game, everyone was waiting to see when the Thunder's losing streak would end.
The media in Russia began to criticize the atmosphere in the locker room, the ability of Sanshao to lead the team, and the management.
…… External public opinion has also begun to favor Thunder, and they are no longer praised as the pride of the sky.
At the same time, some media broke out photos of the whole Thunder team hugging women drinking in a bar.
Alcohol, woman, losing streak.
All of this comes together and doesn't need to be explained.
As soon as the photos came out, all the Thunder players were fiercely criticized, and a bunch of senior stars came out to tell them that professional players should drink less.
……
On Li Linlin's side, the photos that came out of the team hotel with Lin Yuner in New York were also exposed.
…………
Talent? Future?
Now it looks like the Thunder is the joke.
Consecutive losses can wear out all the positive energy and all the tolerance.
Presty, who was originally going to renew his contract with Li Forest, also stopped negotiating work, and he began to reassess the value of Li Forest.
Lee Forest's points per game average during the losing streak has dropped to 15 points, which has helped the team little to win.
And his rookie ranking is also ranked behind Rose, Mayo, Beasley, and Love because of this round of consecutive defeats.
Wei Shao was not much better, and followed closely behind Li Linlin.
…………
At this time, the thunder, which was already in a desperate situation, seemed to have ushered in the dawn of victory.
This time, the Thunder are facing the challenge of the Los Angeles Clippers who are the bottom of the game.
Fans, management, coaching staff, and players are pinning their hopes on the Clippers to end their losing streak.
Pre-game.
The Thunder were full of fighting spirit, and the Ford Center was filled with spectators who came to support the Thunder.
However, throughout the game, the Thunder's interior once again exposed a huge problem, unable to attack and defend.
Little Jordan seemed to have reached his peak in an instant, guarding the inside line and giving Durant 3 risks, worthy of his name Jordan.
On the Thunder side, Li Linlin's hand is still tangled, and the hit rate is touching.
Durant is stuck in infinite singles.
On the Clippers' side, Byron Davis returned from injury, his condition was back and his condition was restored, and the Clippers' offense was sorted out in an orderly manner.
Eric Gordon hit multiple difficult three-pointers from beyond the three-point line......
In the final moments, Durant's calf hit Jordan Jr.'s knee during the breakaway.
Retired again.
After Durant went off the court, the Thunder suffered a breakthrough shot from Davis.
Li Forest became the boss.
When the whistle blew for the end of the game, the Thunder couldn't win the game.
On the scoreboard, the Clippers are 100-99 Thunder.
1 point defeat.
Nine consecutive defeats.
This defeat completely shattered the entire Thunder, and now even the Clippers, who are in the bottom of the list, dare to lose.
The boss was furious, and the fan media began to spray, and their goal was not to mess up.
The local media in Russia are starting to run out of patience.
And the rest of the league is waiting to see the Thunder's jokes, looking at the Thunder, who claims to be infinitely talented, like this?
Durant's injury made the Thunder worse again.
Two main forces were injured.
What's next for Thunder?
Are you going to break your losing streak?
Li Forest?
Will he be able to handle it?
Meanwhile.
Presti immediately initiated a trade to bolster the inside line.
At the end of January, the Oklahoma City Thunder signed Nenad Kostic to a three-year, $15.6 million contract, bringing the Serbian center back into the NBA.
Nenad Kostic was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 24th pick in the first round of the 2002 NBA Draft, but didn't make it to the NBA until 2004.
During his four years with the Nets, Kostic averaged 11.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game and was a technical interior player.
The Thunder signed him to flesh out the inside line to win the weak.
During the eight-game losing streak, the Thunder's interior weaknesses have been amplified, and both Wilcox and Collison and Johan Pedro have proven to be ineffective.
The trade went on as the Thunder sent Wilcox, whose contract expires this year, and then Wilcox, who was still restless in the locker room, traded him to the New York Knicks, who sent out Marik Rose.
The transaction continues.
The Oklahoma City Thunder reached a three-way deal with the Bulls and Knicks, and forward guard Saab Sefrosa joined the Thunder as a backup to help survive Durant's injury.
Saab Sephorosa is a physically fit wing defender who can play against taller small forwards or cover point guards with his reach.
Under his seemingly crazy defense, Sephorosa is very cool-headed, he can clearly judge the opponent's breakthrough route, rarely deceived by the opponent's numerous feints, and his natural defensive sense allows him to lock the opponent's passing route at any time, forcing the opponent's offensive arrows, and repeatedly running in the attack but it is difficult to receive the ball, and it consumes a lot of physical energy.
Sefrosa is not only an excellent individual defender, but also complements the team's interior defence.
However, Sefrosa has a stiff hand and a single offensive means, mainly shooting in the open position and cutting under the basket to score, with deviation in three-point ability and unstable mid-range shooting.
Durant's injury can only put him on top.
In addition, Johan Pedro still renewed his contract with the Thunder, a one-year base salary guarantee.
At this time, the Thunder's interior lineup has been reshuffled, but the practical effect is not yet clear.
During the losing streak, there was also a gap between Forest-Lee, Westbrook, and Durant, and there was almost no communication between the three off the court.
Jeff Green's play has been up and down.
He was forced to switch to the No. 4 position after Durant joined the Thunder, but Green is not a good rim protector in terms of a No. 4 position.
It seems that the internal line problem has not been fundamentally solved.
…………
The Thunder's next opponent is the Denver Nuggets, who are second in the West.
This time, no one is optimistic about the Thunder
The media, commentators, fans, and pundits all believe that the Thunder will have their 10-game losing streak.
They can't even beat the Clippers.
Everyone wants to see what kind of farce will happen in the Thunder locker room after this loss.
…………
"Li Linlin? An average player, it's just luck to win LeBron and Dwayne, and I'm going to blow him up. I prefer to fight against Durant than this rookie, but KD is actually injured, so there's no way. ”
After Anthony won by a big score against the Mavericks, he was asked by the media what he thought of his opponent in the next game, and he gave the above answer.
The Thunder have lost nine in a row, and after today's win in this game, they have won eight in a row, and the two teams are in very different states.
Li Linlin's grievances with the Four Heroes are well known, and Paul, Wade, James, and Anthony are known for their iron relationships.
Now Anthony has not met Li Linlin, and the media is looking forward to their showdown, looking forward to how Anthony will avenge the other three.
"Hey, man, I heard that rookie was shaken down by Kobe, you say, how many times can I shake him off when I'm in a position with him? Haha"
Iverson wiped his sweat, echoed Anthony's words, took over the topic of the media, and also scolded Li Linlin.
Iverson scored 43 points in today's game, and the team's winning streak made him proud.
When the media heard this, they all became excited.
The Nuggets are now aiming their firepower at Li Lincheng,
Okay, there's a topic.
One by one, there was chicken blood, and there were headlines.
…………
Li Forest has just finished training and is ready to drive the Thunder team's special car back first, and he doesn't have time to buy a car yet.
In the underground parking lot, when Li Forest was just about to get into the car.
A male Asian reporter walked over with a microphone.
"Lee, is the girl who came out of the hotel with you your girlfriend? Is it Lin Yuna from Girls' Generation? ”
Paralysis, another gossip reporter.
Li Forest has also been annoyed enough recently, and after the photos were exposed, the news about his relationship began to heat up.
Coupled with the team's losing streak, the relationship with Westbrook and Durant is now very tense, and Li Forest really doesn't have the heart to think about these troubles.
The media photos did not take Lin Yuna's face.
At this time, Girlhood was not yet popular enough to be known to everyone, so most of the media were just guessing about the identity of the girl who lived in the same hotel as Li Forest in New York.
Fans across Asia are speculating about who the girl who came out of the hotel with him is.
The only thing they know for sure is that they are Asian.
Li Forest has now been dubbed "Asia's No. 1 Defender" by the media. Coupled with his handsome face and coquettish and elegant technical movements, there are a group of female fans who have been fascinated by him.
A lot of Milanese-style brain-dead fans gathered together through forums, post bars, Q groups, etc., and discussed the news about Li Forest every day.
After a period of fermentation, Li Linlin's Twitter followers are approaching 5 million.
As soon as they heard Li Linlin's scandal, they were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, for fear that the idol would really come out and announce their relationship.
Leave comments on Twitter.
Li Forest didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble often took the initiative to come to him.
"I'm sorry, this is my personal privacy, please let me go. I'm going back. ”
Li Forest didn't want to take care of this stubble.
If you are a journalist, you need a lot of perseverance and talent.
Li Forest got into the car directly and drove away, regardless of him.
