“…… Hey. ”

Oklahoma, November 3, 2013.

The Thunder's home court, a world-renowned game, is about to start.

In fact, if the time is pushed back more than five days before the start of this game, the expectations for this event will be even higher.

This is the first time that two teams who traded each other in the summer to make a big move to change blood in the new season.

Not to mention the grievances between the Thunder and the Kings in previous seasons - Gu Yu, the main core of the Kings team, emerged in the game against the Thunder, and for the first time jumped out of the character of "the violent man who beat Kahn" and became the scoring master in people's minds - just say that in this game, how many players will face their old clubs is enough to attract attention.

Westbrook, who was almost abandoned by the Thunder, packed up and left. A season ago, no, just before the start of the playoffs last season, the team told Wei Shao categorically that he is an indispensable part of the team's future, and no matter what adjustments the team makes, he and Durant brothers will not be traded away.

The reason why he specifically asked Wei Shao to say such a thing is also because Harden was traded, which more or less affected the mood of the Thunder. The management knows that when the playoffs start, the team has a complete lineup, and the morale of the army is stable, it is possible to play well.

However, soon after, Wei Shao was injured in the first round, and although the Thunder passed the test and advanced, when Wei Shao came back, he was taught a hard lesson by the old Spurs.

"For every minute of play, Wei Shao's worth will decrease by one million."

There are even media critics who say this kind of thing, although the words sound a little exaggerated, but the words are not rough, but they are also the truth.

Has the Thunder been thinking about trading since that time?

People don't know the answer.

But some people speculate that the Thunder management may have made this decision earlier.

Because of the follow-up Thunder series of trading moves, Wei Shao was undoubtedly excluded from the beginning. Long-term plans? Sorry, only Kevin, no Russell.

Therefore, Wei Shao has such a hot temper, how he will behave in the face of the old master, which makes people look forward to it very much.

In addition, the performance of the Kings' two quasi-All-Star players against their old club is also exciting.

Trading away Evans and Cousins, the Kings are almost no different from tearing down a rebuild. Two of the three cores of the team have gone, and there have been great changes in terms of tactical play and team style. Putting aside how the Kings played in the new season, Evans and Cousins were swept away, and there was no resentment in their hearts, and no one believed it.

"Probably one of the candidates for the competition of the year!"

So a week before the start of this game, NBA officials, as well as a number of media, have been overwhelmingly publicized. It doesn't matter if you don't watch any of the games this season, but this confrontation, you have to watch.

Pity......

“…… Well? Gu Yu was warming up on the court, and the moment he shot the basketball, he heard a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice.

Looking back, Gu Yu's expression became a little complicated.

"It's me." Standing behind Gu Yu was not the two former brothers Evans or Cousins he imagined: "Kevin." ”

“…… Well, hello. Gu Yu nodded, his eyes crossed Durant's body, and looked at the Thunder halfcourt behind him, trying to find the figures of those two people.

“…… Bang bang! ”

It was like there was some kind of wonderful bond, at the moment when Gu Yu cast his gaze, Evans was holding a basketball and looked over, and as soon as his eyes made contact with Gu Yu, he immediately dodged, turned around and dribbled the ball, and continued to warm up.

"Give it to me!" Cousins also glanced at Gu Yu, but he also left immediately after the same look, and directly opened his hand to ask Evans for the ball.

"Whoosh——!

The sound of passing that made Gu Yu extremely familiar sounded, and Gu Yu could imagine with his eyes closed, with Evans' habits, in which direction the ball would pass, what rotation strength it would be, what rebound height, and what angle of hand.

The same goes for Cousins.

“…… Bang——!!! ”

Receiving the ball and turning, Cousins seemed to vent some anger, holding the ball in both hands and smashing the ball into the basket.

“…… Hum! After landing, Cousins turned around again, this time, he did not avoid Gu Yu's gaze, but stared at Gu Yu angrily, as if he was staring at his father-killing enemy, gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and then continued to warm up.

“YEAAAAAAAAH——！！！”

At the home of the Thunder, the fans shouted, Cousins's large avatar kept waving on the side of the stands, and the fans who entered in early to watch the warm-up obviously loved the new signings very much.

God knows how much Thunder fans love and hate Wei Shao.

Only God knows how much Thunder fans expect a point guard who can distribute the ball reasonably and control the tempo rationally, and a center who can dominate the basket and punish opponents with footwork and singles.

Today, it's a dream come true.

"That ......" Durant's words pulled Gu Yu out of this scene: "Russell...... Didn't come? ”

"Nope." Gu Yu shook his head, no longer looked at Evans and Cousins—the two seemed to be whispering, not knowing what to say—and looked at Durant and said, "After being banned that day, Coach Wingbucket asked him to reflect, saying that if he didn't recognize his mistakes and didn't review the whole team, he wouldn't let him watch the game with the team. ”

“…… Haha, there's no way he agrees. Durant was too familiar with Wei Shao, and smiled: "I can imagine his expression when he hears these words." ”

"yes, ha." Gu Yu was also happy, nodded and recalled: "He yelled at everyone, first at me, then at Coach Winged Bucket, and then at all his teammates. When he finally left the court in a huff, Paul George went up to try to grab him, but he threw him away......"

Speaking of this, Gu Yu's words were stunned and did not continue.

Durant, who also knew what Gu Yu was feeling in his heart, said with a straight face: "Paul...... How's it going? Mostly emotionally, the blow was a bit too big. ”

It's the best age to get on the ball, and it's time to come to a new team and have a chance to make a difference.

Paul George, however, could only spend time on his sickbed.

It's hard for others to imagine how hard it feels to feel.

Gu Yu shook his head and did not answer.

"Then ......" Although Durant knew that it was a little too ruthless to talk about injuries at this time, he really wanted to understand the situation, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still asked: "What about Andrew?" This season, he seems to be ready to put everything back on the basketball court, and this injury, he may be a little ...... It's hard to accept, right? ”

"It's okay." Gu Yu shrugged and said: "Although he seems to be sensitive and is also a strange guy who is difficult to serve, he has much more experience than Paul in the face of injuries." Although the injury was not light this time, he also suffered more serious injuries and finally survived. So we don't worry too much about him, he can handle it. ”

"That's good." Duran nodded.

"Well, it's fine." Gu Yu also nodded.

"Just ask." It could be seen that Gu Yu had countless questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he didn't know whether to ask them or not, Durant smiled understandingly: "It's time for me to comfort you." ”

"Cut, Lao Tzu doesn't need comfort." Gu Yu's mouth was very stiff, he pouted, and at the end he couldn't help but ask: "Your run-in seems to be quite successful, those two guys...... It's a bit difficult to get along with, right? ”

"It's really hard to get along with." Durant smiled bitterly, "Tyrek is a ...... People who don't know what they're thinking are more gloomy and don't talk much. Whether it's training or playing, it's just playing your own ball and going your own pace. But fortunately, he is now a very reliable point guard, with a good rhythm, timing of advancement, and a good ratio between shots and passes. In particular, the details of breaking through the ball and breaking the ball are just right. Honestly......"

As he spoke, Durant reflexively looked at the King's bench to make sure that he didn't see Wei Shao's figure, so he lowered his voice and said to Gu Yu: "...... It's much more comfortable with Terrick than with Russell. ”

"I understand." Gu Yu nodded, smiling.

How could Gu Yu not understand?

Once upon a time, Evans was not what he is now, playing in basketball hell at the time, with only himself in his head, with no questions about the future of the team or teammates, and he was simply the least popular player on the court.

And now, he can become a good point guard who is qualified in all aspects and outstanding in some aspects, and Gu Yu's credit is undoubtedly the greatest.

has the experience of working with a super scorer like Gu Yu, and Evans and Durant are naturally not difficult, everything is logical.

As long as it's good.

Gu Yu thought so, and glanced at Evans, who was talking to his teammates about tactical running positions and making various passing gestures.

As long as you get used to the new team, it's fine.

"Isn't it time to ask DeMarcus?" Durant saw what was in Gu Yu's eyes and said with a smile: "I'll take the initiative to say it." ”

"Thank you." Gu Yu nodded.

"He's very short-tempered, and although he doesn't have you as short-tempered, it's also very difficult to get along with." Durant scratched his head and said, "No matter what I say, he seems to be angry." He gets angry when the game goes well, he gets angry when the game doesn't go well, he gets angry when he shoots more, and he gets angry when he shoots less. But he has improved a lot this summer, if nothing else, I think he has the strength of 20+10 this season, and there will definitely be a place for him as an All-Star. ”

"It's good." Gu Yu nodded, everything that should be understood is finished, in this way, it is good.

Tyreco, DeMarcus.

It doesn't matter if you're happy or unhappy, angry or hateful.

I want you to be okay with your new team, play the basketball you want to play the most, and then ......

"Tell them."

Gu Yu raised his eyes, and the hesitation and complicated emotions in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a terrifying murderous aura that sent chills down his spine.

"Fight hard, give full play to your strength, today, I want them, go out on their knees ......!"

Ten minutes later, the game begins.
