The battle with the Thunder is not only about the team's position, but also about the two core figures in the team, Lin Fei and Durant, these two are the two strongest scoring people in the league, since this season, several Durant is almost the two of them take turns sitting on the scoring list, even now, although Lin Fei is the second on the scoring list, but only 0.5 points away from Durant, in front of the top scorer, this gap is likely to be reversed in a game.

When the media was still hype, a good news came for the Warriors, the core point guard of the Thunder team, Westbrook was injured and needed a month to recuperate, in terms of importance, Westbrook will not be worse than Durant, this injury is likely to be fatal for the Thunder, not to mention competing with the Warriors, even entering the playoffs is very stressful. At this time, the Thunder's coach will definitely increase the bet on Durant, without an offensive guard like Westbrook, maybe the playmaking ability will not have much impact, but it is one less important scoring point. Another point that must not be ignored is the impact on the morale of the Thunder.

However, one factor that cannot be ignored is the schedule. The Warriors have 4 back-to-backs in the next games, as well as a few stronger opponents, the Lakers and several other teams may be hurdles that the Warriors can't cross, while the Thunder schedule is relatively easy, they only have one back-to-back. So both teams are relatively optimistic.

In the next game between the Warriors and the Bobcats, Lin Fei started again, facing such a team with a half-court defensive tradition is almost Lin Fei's forte, the opponent's joint defense is empty for Lin Fei, one after another three points, teammates also began to value the cycle of the ball, that is, when Lin Fei passed the ball, he would find more opportunities for Lin Fei to complete the most painful blow. Lin Fei scored 40 points again in the game. This also allowed him to score 8 times or more in his rookie year as a player with more than 40 points (if it weren't for Lin Fei's ultra-low scoring situation in a few games, his score is estimated to be at the top of the scoring list). And Durant in the next game with the Timberwolves, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Durant also scored 40 points, and he still suppressed Lin Fei on the scoring list.

Lin Fei scored 35 points again in the next game, and Durant also scored 40 points. The two-man show seems to have instantly become the highlight of the NBA. It's almost as exciting as the playoff battle. With the outbreak of the two people, the MVP selection of the two is also rising.

ESPN is on Durant's side, and they are more optimistic about Durant, because Durant has worked hard in the league for so many years, has more experience, and knows more how to win games, and Lin Fei is now gradually developing in the direction of the core of the Warriors, but after all, for a team, Lin Fei's ability to lead the team is still a little immature. Another media in the United States is more inclined to Lin Fei, because they believe that the Warriors are now giving Lin Fei the opportunity to build, so they try to create more opportunities for Lin Fei to control the team, and the Thunder have indeed established Durant's core low position, they have a more mature tactical system, and they will generally follow the tactics to execute, and will not rely too much on Durant's scoring ability, while the Warriors are the opposite, they may deliberately let Lin Fei score, This is very helpful for Lin Fei to improve his scoring ability.

The media is now divided into two distinct factions and is beginning to debate. The two media platforms have always gone in different directions. Casinos in the black market in the United States have even begun to have scoring champion bets, and the odds were 1:2 for Durant and 1:2.5 for Lin Fei at the beginning. These data are all analyzed by some people with some professional ability. Since then, the odds have been constantly changing.

The Warriors established Lin Fei's core style of play and achieved a 12-7 record, and the Thunder led by Durant also achieved a 13-6 record, that is, the Warriors are one win behind, and now the Thunder team has grabbed the fourth place in the West, and the Warriors are fifth in the West, but this gap may only be temporary, because the last game can decide who can have home court advantage in the playoffs, if the Thunder wins, they naturally have home court advantage, but if the Thunder team wins, the two teams have the same record, just look at the division recordWhile the Warriors have a slightly better division record than the Thunder, the Warriors will still have home-court advantage. Many of the team's pillars have begun to rest, but neither the Warriors nor the Thunder have given up for this home-court advantage.

There is also a very coincidental thing is that Durant directly took over the game of the Thunder team in the few games that Wei Shao was absent from, and after Wei Shao returned, the score slipped a little bit, and in the last 19 games, he averaged 33 points per game, which is unbelievable, and you look at Lin Fei You are even more unbelievable, Lin Fei averaged 33.1 points per game.

It's interesting to look at the scoring list, Lin Fei is now averaging 29.74 points per game, while Durant is averaging 29.94 points per game. The difference is tight by 16 points, and there are two possibilities for Lin Fei to win the scoring title in the last game, one is that Durant plays abnormally, and the other is that Lin Fei plays extraordinary.

Recall that there have been several classic scoring title battles in history. In the 1977~1978 season, the Spurs' iceman George Gervin and the Nuggets' Sampson competed for the scoring title and scored crazy points in the last game. Sampson, who played first, scored 73 points, which would require Gervin to score at least 58 points to surpass the former. As a result, Gervin scored 33 points in the second quarter (the most points scored in a single quarter in the NBA) in the subsequent game against the New Orleans Jazz, and he finally scored 63 points in this game, averaging 27.22 points per game for the season, and won the scoring title by 0.07 points ahead of Sampson (27.15 points). And 16 years later, on April 24, 1994, the last game of the NBA regular season. O'Neal, who plays for the Magic, leads Robinson by 0.06 points per game on average, and which of the two will eventually win the scoring title will depend on their respective final games. Robinson's game started first, and his teammates went out of their way to feed him the ball, giving him a whopping 41 shots in the game, and the opponent Clippers seemed to be deliberately playing "admiral", giving him 25 free throws. Robinson finished with 71 points and improved his scoring average to 29.787 points per game for the season. That would require O'Neal to score at least 68 points in the subsequent match with the Nets to claim the scoring title. Faced with this impossible task, O'Neal ended up scoring only 32 points and averaging 29.346 points per game for the season, making a mess in the final battle for the scoring title.

Recall that those two games were not a direct collision between two people competing for the scoring title, and now Lin Fei and Durant are a direct head-to-head collision. The day before, all major sports newspapers used the two as covers, and the two looked at each other with fierce eyes, building momentum for this annual battle.

A miracle will be born again in Lin Fei and Durant, which has undoubtedly become a topic of great anticipation.
