Among the 30 active head coaches of the NBA team, Mr. Popovich is undoubtedly the one with the highest prestige, and he is also a single class in terms of wit and humor.

Under the old man alone, Carlisle was undoubtedly in the echelon immediately behind, saying that Barria would start instead of Matthews, and sure enough, against the Thunder, the horse's legs were sitting on the bench to rest.

Two small defenders in their early sixties partnered in the backcourt and also started the game, and there are probably not many coaches in the league who dare to do this, but the tactician Carlisle dares to play like this.

Probably after really familiarizing yourself with tactics and lineups, and reaching the level of returning to basics, you can indeed be so casual.

Chen Zhi has no opinion on this, anyway, he will still face to face with Wei Shao on the court.

Puerto Rico Baria is obviously angry about Wei Shao, who has had conflicts on the field, Barria is not tall, but he is indeed tough, he has probably been in Wild Texas for a long time, and his personality has been integrated with the tough guy spirit of Texas cowboys.

If a small man is not tough enough in the NBA, it is obvious that everyone can be the target, and every small man knows this, so they usually show tougher on the court than many big players, such as Filton who dared to punch Adams in the stomach and point at the opponent's nose.

However, Westbrook apparently didn't take his conflict with Barria to heart.

There are countless unexpected conflicts on the basketball court, and a guy like Westbrook, who often has a hot brain, will probably pass after the conflict has passed, and he will never take it to heart after calming down.

Besides, he's a league superstar, and Barria is just a role player, so there's no need for Westbrook to compete with Barria from any point of view.

What bothered him this summer was not some role players of the Dallas Mavericks who were eliminated by them last year, but Kevin Durant, who was once a good brother and chose to leave the Thunder for the Warriors.

Even if he pretended not to care, he also announced in front of the media that it didn't matter if he was okay with Durant, who had left, but a few big words were clearly written on the face of the turtle: unhappy!

Last year, they led the Warriors 3-1 and had a great chance to enter the Finals again, but they were eventually reversed by the Warriors, which is undoubtedly very sad, but do you really blame yourself for this result?

In the crucial sixth game, the Thunder sat at home, which was the best chance to beat the Warriors, admittedly they didn't play well in that game, 10 of 27 shots, and 5 three-point shots, but in that game, the worst person on the team was undoubtedly Durant himself, 10 of 31 shots, 1 of 8 three-pointers, and the efficiency was outrageously low. Of course, in this game, the Warriors' Klay Thompson's performance was indeed too against the sky.

But this year's comeback, the outcome is still unknown, after all, they were once only one step away from entering the Western Conference finals again, and there can be no second time after a poor performance like the sixth game of the Western Conference finals!

No matter when, as long as the Thunder team has him and Durant, which team they play against, they have a chance to win.

They could have continued to dominate with the Thunder, but Westbrook, who was naturally tough, couldn't understand why Durant was so weak and ended up being a traitor, and finally joined the Warriors, the opponent who stopped them in the Western Conference finals.

The championship ring is important, but is the heart of a man and the responsibility of being the spirit of a team really not important? Maybe since James, everyone really doesn't have to insist on this kind of style anymore, the first person in the league is still like this, and the second person can naturally be like this.

After Durant chose to leave, the overwhelming public opinion pointed not only at Durant, but also at himself.

Durant's behavior seems to verify that sentence, the only one who can prevent Durant is Westbrook! It's as if he really made Durant choose to leave Oklahoma in the end.

As for the situation within the Thunder team, Westbrook is naturally very clear.

Whenever people mention the team of the league's first person James, he is a well-deserved absolute core, but the team of the league's second person Durant is not the case.

However, after Coach Brooks was fired by management last season and coached by Coach Donovan, who is good at using guard players, his status in the team has indeed become higher, and it can be clearly felt from the use rate that every game, his touch opportunities are more than Durant's, in other words, after Coach Donovan coached, Durant does play more without the ball than before.

Durant does have a lot of shots per game, but the number of shots and the ball are two completely different concepts, and Durant's role in the Thunder has indeed been weakened, which may be an important factor in his unhappiness.

If this trend continues, Westbrook will likely end up being the de facto boss of the Thunder, there's no doubt about that, and even over the course of the season, the issue has been raised by the media and fans several times.

At the end of the day, this is at most a question for Coach Donovan, how much can it have to do with himself?

Hearing that the Dallas Mavericks live DJ had started introducing the players, Willbrook touched the two bracelets on his wrists.

One represents a departed best friend, and the other is engraved with the motto: hy not!

As the motto says, why not?

Now that Durant chooses to leave, he is destined to become the boss of the team, and he wants to lead the Thunder team to fight with other teams alone this season, it is a man who has to face it, so why not lead the team alone, and brush him in the dark! Well? Let's kill him in the dark......

The Dallas native is not destined to have much applause for himself, and Russell Westbrook knows that last season was not a good time with the Dallas Mavericks.

Looking around the stands, Westbrook was shocked to find that the audience for this game was actually full! Big ball market, there are so many rich people!

Oh, by the way, Dallas has a salary cap this year! Westbrook, who has been immersed in his own world in the offseason and kept the annoying media out of the way, heard the news from his teammates.

Looking at the Dallas Mavericks players who had just huddled together and shouted slogans, the old Dirk looked like he was going to play in this game, but he certainly couldn't play for a few minutes, and the young man who was patting him on the shoulder and talking to something looked like he had lost the draft with the highest salary.

It's a lot taller than it looks rumored, and its body doesn't look strong enough to feel threatening!

As for the looks, it must be a little worse than me! His relatively featureless appearance, although it looks very comfortable, is not popular in the fashion industry at all, and ugly must be ugly!
