Chapter 115 Young People's War
Oklahoma is a magical place.
The New Orleans Typhoon disaster was severe that year, and the Hornets moved to Oxford City for a year, which made the people of Oxford City feel the feeling of the NBA home court for the first time.
Then, they actually fell in love with this feeling crazily!
That's right, I just fell in love with it. Even if the Oshima City is not big and it is not a big city, the people of the whole city have unanimously asked for an NBA team on their own territory.
You know, as a new army, Charlotte Bobcats have only been in the NBA for seven or eight years, and the league will theoretically not expand its troops at this time.
However, they were lucky. The Seattle Supersonics happened to be the first boss who didn't want it anymore and was about to sell it. When the league saw that Oklahoma was really active, they decided to move the Supersonics from Seattle to Oklahoma and changed its name to "Thunder".
This incident alarmed many people at that time, especially the former supersonic celebrities. They said that they had nothing to do with "Thunder" and that they were supersonic people.
Especially "Gloves" Gary Payton, the most powerful card in modern Supersonics and the only superstar who won the best defensive player as a point guard. When the Thunder proposed to retire his jersey, he decisively refused! The reason was that he had nothing to do with the Thunder.
Payton is indeed backbone, and the Seattle people are also very touched, so in 2017, Seattle unofficially retired Payton's No. 20 jersey.
Tsk, I don’t know how the Thunder felt at that time, because in 2017, haha, the "35" jersey that the Thunder originally trained and most promising to retire, is no longer here...
Of course, that's all a story. Now, Thunder Boss is still Durant.
As for the second child...well... at present, it should be Westbrook.
Why? Because last season, Westbrook's three big data were 164.98 and Green was 1561.8. Westbrook's role was greater than Green, so Green had to retreat from the position of "Double Young Master" with Durant in 2007.
But even if he retreated, the third brother belonged to him. Harden is still young and his beard has not yet grown out, so he can only be the fourth brother.
However, Green probably hasn't had many days in the Thunder, and it should be getting closer to the day he was traded.
Therefore, the only one who became famous afterwards was the "Thunder Three Young Masters".
Han Miao suddenly remembered a very classic movie "Let the Bullets Fly". Although it is a time period and the movie has not been released yet, this does not prevent Han Miao from remembering the classic clips in it.
There is also a Goose City in the movie, and there are also three giants in it!
Moreover, the more Han Miao thought about it, the more interesting it became. It seemed that the current status of these three people should be a bit similar to that in the movie.
If we look at it this way, Huang Silang should be Durant, the old overlord of Ox City, and Zhang Mazi is Westbrook. Harden is a bit miserable when he wants to become the boss of Ox City. He is a master and is still struggling.
Thinking of this, Han Miao suddenly didn't worry about the Thunder Team.
He is worried now that his private account is 100,000 yuan less, and this time it is still US dollars.
"Oh, you are a millionaire, why are you worried about?"
After collecting Han Miao's $100,000, the system was obviously satisfied and accepted the task for Han Miao. The reward for this task was very attractive, and Han Miao couldn't be moved.
"What do you know? My money is all in my sister's place. She is my agent, okay? I'll give you 100,000 yuan for no reason. How do I explain? Do you think my sister is a fool?"
The system stops talking, and this kind of family matter has nothing to do with it, it doesn't care.
...
Oklahoma, Thunder Training Hall.
The entire Thunder team is training.
Coach Brooks is a young coach, and the entire Thunder team is basically young. It can be said that they are the same as the 76ers, and they are both young soldiers in the league.
However, Brooks has Durant in his hand. After several years of training, this second place in 2007 is now one of the most terrifying scoring machines in the league. After winning the scoring champion, some people have said that he can replace Anthony as the league's second small forward.
Durant does have that strength, especially when his shooting is getting more and more accurate, Anthony does not have much advantage in facing him.
So the Thunder have this ace, and they are still very competitive in the West.
Moreover, Westbrook, who was ahead and Harden, had more and more mature performance this year. Westbrook averaged 20 points per game, replacing Green and becoming the most powerful helper around Durant.
As the sixth man, Harden is excellent. Harden has a good position in the Thunder's substitute lineup and can ensure the continuation of the team's firepower.
So, in the West, where there are many giants, the Thunder can currently score 6 wins and 3 losses, which is quite good!
"Philadelphia 76ers? You can win."
To be honest, Westbrook doesn't care much about the 76ers because he doesn't think the 76ers can pose a threat to the team.
Not to mention anything else, just Durant, who can stop him in Philadelphia? Moreover, his level has improved now. How could the rookie point guard of the 76ers stop him?
This is a total crushing game!
"Russell, don't be careless, they beat Boston."
Coach Brooks is still relatively cautious, perhaps because both sides are youth troops, Brooks has an inexplicable favor for the same type of team.
"It's just good luck, but none of the other strong teams won."
Westbrook is sometimes like this. If you don’t have it, that’s not possible. To put it nicely, this is called clear distinction between love and hate, and to put it ugly, it is willful...
Anyway, when Durant left later, he once hinted that Westbrook had problems with his personality and style of playing.
"Russell, listen to the coach."
Durant, who had just finished his shooting practice, said while wiping his sweat.
In fact, Durant's personality is not suitable for being a boss. He lacks a domineering attitude and is more suitable for being a second-in-command. However, at present, he can't be the boss in Thunder.
When Westbrook saw the boss talking, he immediately shut up because Durant is still in the highest position in the Thunder, and Westbrook cannot be compared with him.
As for Harden and Green, um... they don't like to talk at such times, and they don't have enough weight.
"The 76ers are young people like us, so their athletic talent is no worse than us. The point where we have the most advantage is offset. Therefore, don't think about playing fast, Russell, you have to control the rhythm!"
Because the Thunder are young, the game is very fast. The point guard is Westbrook. This guy who rushes hard for a moment when he disagrees will often speed up the pace of the game.
Fortunately, most of the main players of the Thunder are under 25 years old. Young people can run, and Westbrook's pace is fine if they speed up, and they can also exhaust their opponents.
However, the 76ers are also young. If Westbrook still fights like this this time, the Thunder may have fallen into a tough battle.
"Okay, coach, don't worry, we will definitely win 76ers. You have to believe us!"
Westbrook still looked indifferent. In his opinion, he thought that if he could win, he would definitely win if he could win!
Coach Brooks shook his head helplessly, "Alas, they are all young people, why is this precious point guard in his own country less stable than the opponent's young Chinese?
