Chapter Ninety-Three: Swear to Du Xiaoshuai!

When Lin Mu and Durant came to the training ground, the exclusive LOGO belonging to the Thunder had been pasted in the most conspicuous position, as a veteran team that had just changed its name, the jersey numbers of those old stars were still hanging over the arena.

Lin Mu looked up, although those names were not so familiar to him after the 90s, they did not prevent Lin Mu from admiring them in the slightest.

When a generation of stars ends, a new generation of stars will take over the torch in their hands and lead the NBA league to a new era.

From the world-famous "God of Basketball" Jordan, to the never-say-die and proud "Black Mamba" Kobe, and then to the "Little Emperor" James who is proud of his hometown and has been a day for ten years, the inheritance during this period has never been interrupted.

Even at the end of James's career, the "baby-faced assassin" Stephen Curry, who shot through the sky and changed his life against the sky, took over the scepter in the hands of the old emperor.

The times are still going on, but the figure of the older generation will eventually dissipate in front of our eyes, when the memory model lake, these jerseys hanging on the high roof, represent the glory that once belonged to them.

It's a bit of a shame that the jerseys of "Rain Man" Kemp and "The Gloves" Payton didn't hang in the Thunder's arena.

The legendary duo who came from the supersonic speed and made waves in the '90s have their hearts set in the city where they once fought: Seattle.

Of course, the drug-addicted Kemp didn't end up retiring his jersey, while Payton completed an unofficial jersey retirement with the Seattle SuperSonics in 2017.

At the time, Payton made it clear that he would not bring his number to Oklahoma and that he would choose to complete the final ceremony in Seattle.

"Kevin, hopefully one day our number will hang here too, in the most brilliant and brilliant way!" Lin Mu sighed a little, for some reason, those footprints seemed to be right in front of him, they had paved the way for the younger generations, but they had long since disappeared from walking on the road.

"That's a must!"

"I, Kevin Durant, will be the greatest player on this team, and one day, my jersey will surely face the rising sun and retire with glory in front of all the Oklahoma fans!"

"Hehe..."

Lin Mu smiled, if I didn't understand you, I would really be fooled stupidly.

"If you don't win the championship, if you are overturned 1:3 in the playoffs, will you stay here willingly?" Lin Mu asked rhetorically.

"Huh?"

"I can't!"

"At the level of the two of us, how can it be like this all the time!" Durant waved his hand, not taking Lin Mu's words to heart at all.

So what if I'm gone?

Of course, Lin Mu didn't say the last sentence, but the world is impermanent, and it is even more difficult to achieve old age in a team.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there have been only a handful of players who have been able to complete one person, one city.

And those who completed the one person and one city have left a strong mark on the NA illustrated book.

Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, Russell of the Lord of the Rings and Larry Bird of the Celtics, as well as Admirals David Robeson and Duncan of the Spurs, and Dirk Nowitzki, the best driver for the Mavericks.

Of course, in addition, the "smiling assassin" Isaiah Thomas and the Pacers legend Reggie Miller are among the representatives.

If he could, Lin Mu would also like to accomplish such an achievement.

All this is a story for another time.

When Kevin Durant and Lin Mu appeared side by side in the training hall, the Thunder players had already noticed their figures.

"Future Dual-Core."

"Thunder Cultivation Program."

"The young players who lead the team."

Titles like these have long been spread within the team, and those unruly veterans have been cleared out of the team, as evidenced by the Thunder's many draft picks.

Nowadays, the team has the most young players like Lin Mu.

Second-year rookies Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, first-year rookies Jordan Jr., Lin Mu and Yin Baca in Spain, third-year rookie Saab Sephorosa...

The oldest of the starters is 29 years old, and the whole team tends to be younger, which is also in line with the Thunder's recent rebuilding goals.

Young people have always been the most valuable presence in the league, and if you are lucky, a cornerstone player like the Greek Monster can be a strong guarantee for the team for more than a decade!

While being competitive, you can also make a lot of money, which is the most correct way for the alliance to make money!

"Hey, Lin Mu! You're more handsome than you are on TV. The old man of the team, Nick Collison, who has been with the Thunder since the supersonic period, took the lead in expressing his goodwill to Lin Mu.

The moment he saw Collisson, Lin Mumeng slapped his thigh.

One person, one city representative, how did I forget this goods!

Nick Collisson, a player whose jersey was retired by the Thunder, despite his average career stats, is comparable to the Heat's Haslem in terms of team status.

"Nick, you too, you're handsome!" Lin Mu responded with a smile, as a white player, Nick's appearance is still very good, at least much better than the contractor next to him.

With Nick's good start, the Thunder generals greeted Lin Mu one after another, Lin Mu naturally smiled, and his handsome face coupled with the effect of [opposites attract] made him quickly integrate into the team.

One of the "unknown" unspoken rules of the NBA, when a newcomer comes to a team, there is a high probability that he will be bullied by the old players, but here in Lin Mu, there seems to be no such phenomenon.

For a younger team, the atmosphere of the team is far more harmonious than that of the aging team.

"That's all they do in their usual training?"

After sparing a circle, Lin Mu found a very serious problem.

Why is the training intensity of NBA players far less than imagined?

You must know that each team in the NBA has its own nutrition planner, and each player's eating habits and nutrients will be adjusted by special personnel every day to meet the nutritional needs of high-intensity sports.

Compared with the NBA's food, Lin Mu should believe that the NBA's training intensity will inevitably increase.

However, this is not the case.

Comparatively, it wasn't even as intense as their training in college.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with this way of training? "Durant is a little confused, so what is wrong?

Turning his head to look at his teammates in the stadium, there was no difference from usual, everything was normal.

"It's too weak!"

"The way you train is not at all the intensity that a good player should have."

"No wonder you look so good, in such a training environment, you can have a fart promotion!"

"From today onwards, no matter what the others are like, you have to train with me, and you can't leave a day behind!"

"Don't forget, you promised me something at the training camp." After speaking, Lin Mu left directly, leaving only Kevin Durant with a confused face.

What's the situation?

Train together, train together, is it necessary to be so serious?

Lao Tzu is a professional basketball player who lives in training every day, so would I refuse your invitation to train because of this?

Also, don't keep talking about the previous incident, I can't afford to lose this person!

What I Du Xiaoshuai promised, I will never break my promise!

However, what Durant didn't expect was that Lin Mu's training method made him completely collapse!
