0723: [Western Shura Field](1/2)
Durant fell into a trap.
In other words, he was plotted by Li Zhen, and he was unable to escape from his own shortcomings.
He really does not have the ability to hold the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and then launch an attack...or, in other words, he does not have the ability to hold the ball through half the court and complete the attack under Li Zhen's candy-like defense.
Russell Westbrook has stepped up.
It’s hard for Master West to pass the basketball around again.
Durant persisted for a while in the next two rounds, but when he got two balls, he failed to complete an effective attack. This caused Westbrook to stop passing.
Watching Li Zhen's score surpass his own, and the Thunder also fell behind.
But Durant couldn't say anything else.
"Your playoffs are about to start. If you and Russell fall out at this time, your playoffs will become difficult. Moreover, people will think that you are destroying team unity for the honor of the scoring champion."
Li Zhen said to Durant with a smile on his face when there were 2 minutes left in the game.
Because Durant's expression became very ugly at that time, and he hoped Durant would not do anything to Westbrook.
If you go out to fool around, you must stand at attention when you are beaten.
Durant's outcome tonight was doomed. When Li Zhen started to use conspiracy against him, he had no chance of winning.
Unless he scored desperately in the first quarter.
But he missed it.
Even if he is resentful towards Westbrook now, he has no choice but to accept it in general.
The game will end soon.
Just like ice cubes melting in water.
This is a wonderful game.
"It would have been better if Westbrook didn't force his presence at the last moment."
Reggie Miller said on TV.
He obviously had the opposite effect.
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith from the TV station next door understood it clearly. After all, they knew Li Zhen better.
"127:123!"
The Los Angeles Clippers won the game easily.
Li Zhen scored 52 points in a single game, and Kevin Durant also entered the bill with 46 points.
However, he lost the scoring title.
Li Zhen still gave him a hug at the end. After all, this guy is his little brother. And the reason why he competes with himself for the scoring title is just because he wants to be little Kevin's shooting teacher.
There is no hatred for each other.
"Actually, you should be lucky." Li Zhen patted Durant on the back of the head: "If we lose to you in this game, you will meet us in the first round of the playoffs."
Durant was adamant, and he replied: I want to touch you in the first round.
hehe.
Li Zhen showed a strong smile.
Young people are still too naive.
At this time, reporters have gathered around. They can't wait to interview the two parties involved in the scoring championship battle and ask them what they think after the victory has been decided.
"Actually, Kevin Durant's scoring level is higher than mine. It's just that my overall level is higher than him." Li Zhen said with a smile on his face: "It was a fluke to win."
"Bruce has more scoring methods than I thought. He is an extraordinary attacker." Kevin Durant also respected him as a guest: "I can completely accept losing to him. I believe that if he loses to him tonight
He can completely accept losing to me."
"No!"
Li Zhen next to him quickly waved his hand: "This matter is completely unacceptable."
When the reporter heard this, he immediately sensed the huge news information and quickly asked: Why can't you accept it?
Li Zhen remained silent, saying that it had nothing to do with basketball.
Then the reporter asked: Is it because of other things? We saw Scarlett bringing her son to the scene today...
"Stop it!" Li Zhen quickly prohibited the reporters from divergent thinking. "Let's talk about the playoffs."
As the dust settles on the last game of the regular season.
The Western Conference playoff situation has been very clear.
The Los Angeles Lakers top the list.
Although the Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the Los Angeles Clippers, they still ranked second.
The Houston Rockets failed to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in this matter, and they are still third.
The San Antonio Spurs are ranked fourth.
The Memphis Grizzlies are ranked fifth.
The Clippers secured sixth place in the Western Conference with their victory in the last game.
The Denver Nuggets dropped from sixth in the Western Conference to eighth in the Western Conference due to three consecutive losses in the last three games.
The Dallas Mavericks moved into seventh place in the Western Conference.
In this way, the matchup situation in the first round of the Western Conference has also been released.
Lakers vs. Nuggets. This is also a group of old rivals.
The matchup between the Thunder and the Mavericks is also quite interesting.
As the big winner of last summer's misfortune, the Houston Rockets formed a small Big Three and will fight against the Los Angeles Clippers. Although this is something Houston doesn't want to see, but there is no way, sometimes fate is like this.
The Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs will continue to fight this season after their duel last season. Last season, the Grizzlies defeated the top. This season, the Spurs are trying their best, and they can be regarded as enemies meeting again.
"So, are you worried about the new Big Three formed by the Houston Rockets? James Harden, Andrew Bynum, and Pau Gasol are just like the comeback of the Lakers last season. And Phil Jackson also joined Houston last month."
A reporter from TNT asked: "Last season, many people discussed that the reason why you defeated the Lakers in the first round was because the Lakers did not use an authentic triangle offense.\u001d"
Li Zhen thought that the reporters' switching was really smooth.
But his expression also smiled, and he said: "We will take the Rockets very seriously. However, I think you should ask them whether they are worried about us, not whether we are worried about them."
Li Zhen showed a rare display of dominance.
He is so confident that he cannot see the fact that the Clippers are currently in the lower zone.
Of course, no one will treat the defending champion as a lower level player.
At least... Westbrook emphasized on the other side that he did not want to meet the Clippers in the first round.
Oh, right.
Scarlett Johansson also spoke generously about her son. What’s interesting is that Kevin has no stage fright in front of the camera. This kid is simply born for big scenes.
He actually grabbed the microphone handed over by the reporter and played with it for a while, and even blew into the microphone to make a sound.
The cute little moves captivated the audience in front of the TV.
And when Scarlett said, "Kevin, stop playing around," the reporters and their own gossip fans were thoughtful.
They quickly remembered the tongue twister Kevin Durant said before. Before that, they didn't understand why Durant said he would give the scoring champion trophy to Kevin.
It turns out it was meant to be given to this little Kevin.
So... the battle for the co-authored scoring title is about who can give the trophy to this adorable kid?
Is this a family matter?
Durant responded to this matter the next day. He said that the reason why he wanted to be the scoring champion was because he wanted to be the coach of Scarlett's son, because he wanted little Kevin to become an NBA star in twenty years.
Scoring champion.
However, Bruce does not want him to become a shooter. He hopes that he can practice more offensive skills instead of playing a passive offensive role.
The media suddenly realized this.
After going back and forth, it turned out to be a dispute over routes.
So many melon-eating people were dumbfounded.
"Although I didn't win the scoring title, I will definitely give guidance to Kevin in the future. Look forward to it...it will still be 18 years until Kevin joins the NBA."
Durant did not forget to say something on TV in the end.
It is worth mentioning that Kobe Bryant firmly opposed it afterwards.
He thinks Durant is misleading people.
"I have already made an agreement with Bruce that I will be Kevin's future coach. I will teach him a full set of offensive techniques... Only when you are capable can you win the scoring title."
Kobe Bryant also joins the route fray.
To be continued...
