Happy times are always short-lived, and after the adventure with Megan and Rosie, Lin Mu returned to the home stadium early the next morning and continued the training plan every day.

"Lin, where did you go last night?"

"I don't participate in the team's nightclub team building activities, is this still your usual life?"

"Lin, you're a big loss! The little lonely in the nightclub last night was very cool, and all of them were bee-waisted and thin-buttocked. ”

Under the questioning and showing off of his teammates, Lin Mutang smiled: "I went to play a truth or dare last night. ”

The Thunder General looked puzzled: "What's so fun about Truth or Dare, aren't you making trouble!" ”

Lin Mu smiled and said nothing, even your three-legged cat kung fu can understand the happiness in it?

Brother's Truth or Dare is a joy you can't imagine!

......

April 16th!

The penultimate day before the playoffs begin!

At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams in the East and West divisions are in full swing preparing for the upcoming playoffs, and those teams that are at the bottom of the rankings can already go home for the holidays and go fishing.

Lin Mu's two good brothers, Wei Shao and Le Fu, had long been lying flat at home, bored with the messages on their mobile phones.

Lin Mu was naturally "harassed" by the two, it was nothing more than some playoff cheers, if you lost to the other party, we would wait to see your jokes and other words, Lin Mu was too lazy to reply, and directly turned off his mobile phone, blocking all interference from the outside world.

In the last two days, I must fill my state, not only Lin Mu, but the whole team!

Durant has long put away his fighting machine, Kevin Keyboard Man Durant will disappear for a while, and the ups and downs on the Internet will have nothing to do with Du Xiaoshuai in the future!

As for the other players, 28 cards are a little nervous and work all day to relieve boredom, and Jeff Green wants to prove that even if the team is full of talent, he has his own place!

Little Jordan?

Lin Mu didn't let him do anything, you just eat the cake on the inside, this is more important than anything!

Lowry?

Together with Dragic, he watches the opponent's game footage every day, which is even more terrifying than head coach Scott.

Why are people so nervous?

First, the Thunder are mostly young people, most of whom have no playoff experience, and the starting five Tigers can't find a player who has participated in the playoffs.

After all, it is a completely different game in the NBA league from the regular season, and the level of competition and intensity of the game is not the same as that of the regular season.

The referee's relevant penalties will also be more lenient, after all, in 2009, the current league atmosphere is more conducive to ruthless confrontation between bodies!

The second is that the Thunder's first-round opponent is indeed strong, the San Antonio Spurs, which is a very insurmountable difficulty for the Thunder!

(The western rankings are as follows:

1. Los Angeles Lakers

2. Denver Nuggets

3. Houston Rockets

4. Oklahoma City Thunder

5. San Antonio Spurs

6. Dallas Mavericks

7. Portland Trail Blazers

8, Utah Jazz)

(The eastern rankings are as follows:

1. Cleveland Cavaliers

2. Boston Celtics

3. Orlando Magic

4. Atlanta Hawks

5. Miami Heat

6. Philadelphia 76

7. Chicago Bulls

8, Detroit Pistons)

In the face of the old and spicy GDP combination and the unpredictable Popovich, the new coach of the Thunder, Scott, is also racking his brains, and in the past two days, he has been frantically analyzing with the think tank what changes the Thunder have to make in order to defeat their opponents in the playoffs.

The first trip to the playoffs should not be taken lightly!

Although the outside world is more optimistic about the Thunder advancing to the second round, this is only an analysis of big data, and it may be difficult to play a key role in really applying it to the court.

After all, the difference in strength between the two teams is not as obvious as imagined.

For this reason, Scott started a debate within the Thunder team in a humane way.

With a squad full of young players, Scott rightfully thinks he can listen to some of the inner thoughts of the players.

28 Ka: "I don't know, I just think the Spurs are very strong because they have the toughest power forward in history: Tim Duncan!" ”

28 cards did not shy away from expressing their worries, which is also the most concerned issue of the Thunder generals.

Tim Duncan, the legendary player who debuted at the top of his game, how much trouble can he bring to the Thunder in the game?

Even though he's 32 years old, the damage to the Thunder's interior during the regular season has been immeasurable.

What does the Thunder have to do to limit Duncan's ravages on the Thunder's interior line?

You know, 28 cards alone can't stop Duncan!

Lowry: "Tony Parker, if it's a one-on-one defense, I probably can't limit his play. ”

Lowry also said what he was worried about, an All-Star level point guard player, Tony Parker's aggression is more aggressive than traditional point guards, and if anything, Lin Mu is more inclined to classify Parker as a point guard.

Durant: "They've got a lot more playoff experience and we're strong, but it's not clear what kind of energy they can play in the playoffs. ”

"Of course, I'm still very confident in my attack."

Everybody's voiced their opinions, everybody's voiced their inner concerns, very similar to the coaching staff's thinking, which are all issues that the Thunder need to address in the playoffs.

"Lin Mu, what do you think?"

When everyone finished speaking, Scott asked Lin Mu in the corner.

Moment!

All eyes were on the 20-year-old.

The leader of the Thunder, what does Lin Mu think about the next game?

"San Antonio Spurs?"

"It's true that they are strong, but in the absence of Ginobili, this team is already more than half less soulful!"

"Maybe you're right, but either way, it's a war that must be won!"

"Go all out, the first time of youth, you don't need to leave any regrets!"

Lin Mu knew in his heart that the atmosphere in the team was a little gloomy, this was not a lack of confidence in his own strength, but a natural fear of the unknown.

With no playoff experience, and even head coach Scott is leading the team to the playoffs for the first time, and it is inevitable that they will be afraid of an old-school powerhouse like the Spurs.

But!

In Lin Mu's eyes, this year's San Antonio Spurs, the Thunder definitely have great hopes of defeating their opponents and then successfully advancing to the next round of games.

"The First Evolution"

Because, their hero in desperation, the eagle that soared over the Pampas: Manu Ginobili, was reimbursed for his injuries!

In the summer BJ Olympics, Ginobili suffered another injury and had to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle, missing the first 12 games in the 2008-2009 season; Before the All-Star break, he played 33 minutes and scored 32 points, and once again hung up the exemption card because of a right ankle injury; Just after returning at the end of March, he suffered a stress fracture of his right ankle at the beginning of April, and was reimbursed for the season.

In his previous life, it was precisely because of Manu's absence that Duncan tasted the first playoff first-round exit in his life.

Ginobili: Spurs' eternal desperate hole card!

In 2010, the San Antonio Spurs were going through the experience of Tim. The worst performance of the Duncan era is different from last year, and there is no reason for them to bring in Jefferson this year and play this virtue.

Manu. Ginobili will soon have a contract extension in six months, at which point Spurs general manager. Buford, however, told reporters who asked related questions:

"Can anyone tell me what Manu can bring us now?"

Back in time to last year's NBA playoffs!

The role players played their last shot of the championship season, with Bowen, Finley, Barry, and Horry all at the age of 35, and Duncan's partners Oberto and Elson on the inside were also at 32 and 3.

The Spurs were pulled back into the race for the Western Conference after a team-best 17-3 start. Popovich played his last card at this point: Ginobili started and the results were immediate.

The Spurs have won 15 of their 16 games and are back in first place in the West with an 11-game winning streak.

During this time, Ginobili scored a superstar performance of 22+5+5 with a 49% shooting rate, and overturned James' handicap with 46 points in the game against the Cavaliers before the All-Star break. Among them, he used a 100% shooting percentage to get 18 points and 4 assists in the final quarter, and he didn't have a single turnover.

This season, Popovich has relied heavily on the individual strength of the GDP trio, and the playing time of these three is also the highest in several years, with Ginobili playing more than 30 minutes for the first time this season, and as many as 35 minutes in the start. That wasn't a good sign, and Popovich immediately pulled him off the bench.

Sure enough, when he was forced to a 0-2 deficit by Paul's Hornets again in the Western Conference semifinals, Ginobili started again.

The Spurs won four of their last five games and climbed to the Western Conference finals.

The series against the Lakers has exposed all of the Spurs' weaknesses this year.

The role players are aging, Kobe Bryant frequently pulls Duncan out a little bit with a mid-range jumper after entering the Spurs trap, and where is Odom's opponent after the rest of the old Finley is misplaced; Duncan spent too much in the regular season, shooting less than 60% of his free throws in the series; Ginobili suffered a middle finger injury in his left hand and a groin strain, and the assist-to-turnover ratio was 15:16.

It was also from this game that Ginobili started the game, and the hidden danger of too long was exposed!

This season's injury reimbursement has planted the seeds for the whole Spurs team.

Whether the Thunder, the upstart on the rise, can beat their opponents in the first round is difficult for even veteran commentators to give a clear answer.

April 17th, the last day before Game 1 of the playoffs begins!

Home of the Thunder, Ford Center!

As an NBA team that just moved in this year, the Thunder are crucial for Oklahoma.

In American society, sportsmanship is more inspiring.

It is precisely because of this that American sports superstars can grow like mushrooms after a rain.

That night, Ford Center Arena has become a sea of blue, the very uniform blue clothing, the blue lightning bolt on the chest is draped on the bench, and every fan can get a logo jersey belonging to the Thunder's home court!

The huge banner has appeared in the big square outside the arena, the twin stars of Durant and Lin Mu are shining, Coach Scott's head is bowed and meditating, and the young faces of a group of young people are presented in front of everyone.

They will be the hope of this city, this team, for many years to come!

The 19599 tickets have long been sold out, and everything is ready to wait for a gunshot tomorrow night, and the first playoff matchup between the Thunder and the Spurs will attract the attention of countless people at Ford Center!

That night, Lin Mu rarely did not appear in the training hall, and at this moment, he was enjoying the happiness brought by foot massage with Durant.

"It's going to be a game tomorrow, is it really okay to do that?"

Durant is a little weak-hearted, although it is very important to relax appropriately before the game, but this relaxation is inevitably too much!

"Don't like it?"

Lin Mu closed his eyes slightly and asked a little jokingly.

"It's not, it's just...."

"A little bit of a weak heart."

"Alright, it's out of the way!"

"At your level, should you be blown up, or should be blown up!"

In the face of Lin Mu's "ridicule", Durant was not happy on the spot.

"TMD, don't blame me for not saying it in advance, tomorrow, I, Kevin Durant, will be on the court!"

After saying that, Durant even stood up excitedly, causing a roll of the technician in front of him.

Separated from Durant, Lin Mu stepped on the small broken leaf and walked home alone.

"Time flies."

In the blink of an eye, the 82 regular season games are like a passing cloud, and the crazy scenes of the past have long been a bit ambiguous, and now, all that exists in my mind is the cruel playoffs that are about to begin!

As the first playoff trip in his life, Lin Mu had an indescribable feeling.

Craving?

Excited?

Fear?

Afraid?

Maybe neither, just pure inner anxiety, some mediocrity disturbing themselves.

"Still not strong enough!"

Lin Mu shook his head, if he was really so invincible, what else did he need to worry about?

"Eat one bite at a time, step by step, no matter what, I will be invincible in the future!"

After saying hello to the eldest brother on night duty, Lin Mu returned to his villa and unexpectedly found that the lights inside were still on.

What's the situation?

Burglar?

Lin Mu was vigilant, after all, in the United States, it is possible for bandits to attack high-end villas at night.

Quietly approaching the door, Lin Mu had already heard a burst of sound coming from inside.

"How's this dress?"

"Great!"

Listening to the conversation inside, Lin Mu understood that there were two people trying on clothes in their own home, and they really didn't see anything outside, and they completely regarded this place as their own home.

Lin Mu couldn't bear it, and instantly turned into a big bad wolf and pushed the door open.

The scene in his eyes made Lin Mu a little dumbfounded!

One black and one red, the imaginary cool clothes did not appear in front of him, but two Spider-Mans, staring at themselves with big eyes and some surprise.

The figures of models and actors must be maintained regularly, and professionalism allows these people to maintain an excellent living condition.

Lin Mu finally realized the happiness of those role players in his previous life, but both of them were masked, and they couldn't tell who was who for a while.

"Don't say it!"

"I want to feel for myself who is Megan and who is Rosie!"
