Chapter 127 The Sharks are causing trouble! The ‘proud’ Durant?
"Su, you don't have to be in a hurry to come back when we play against the Thunder tonight!"
Before the game, in the locker room, O'Neal confidently said to Su Bai,
"We will definitely win tonight, and we will definitely win beautifully!"
Su Bai looked at O'Neal and smiled, "I wish you had said that when we were playing against the Spurs."
O'Neal's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile, "That's different. You have to lead the battle of revenge with your own hands!"
Su Bai chuckled.
He doesn't talk much when he beats the mighty Spurs, but he gets excited when he beats a super weak guy like the Thunder.
Not to mention O'Neal's strength, at least he is really thick-skinned.
It is said that the Thunder's record is somewhat similar to that of the Warriors, except that the Warriors are 8 wins and 1 loss, while the Thunder are 1 win and 8 losses.
After relocating from Seattle to Oklahoma City and changing their name from SuperSonics to Oklahoma City, it seems that they have not yet brought good luck.
The performance is still the same!
"The Thunder don't have a human shield on the inside, how about relaxing tonight?" Su Bai said to O'Neal.
Su Bai felt that there was really no pressure to win the Thunder, so he prepared to make his brothers happy.
O'Neal did not agree immediately, "Durant from the Thunder team clamored to compete with you before the game. Why don't you respond?"
"Not interested." Su Bai waved his hand and said.
His goal this season is to win the championship, and Durant, at least for the past two or three years, has nothing to do with the championship.
By the way, Durant's exclusive "Best Defensive Player" Westbrook was selected by the Thunder without any surprise. It will be even more difficult for the rest of the Thunder to build a championship lineup.
Soon after, the battle between the 2007 duo began at the Oracle Center.
Su Bai did what he said, he really didn't focus on attacking or defending Durant.
Instead, the responsibility of defending Durant was given to Azubuike and Tony Allen.
Durant's average data per game this season has increased to 25.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists. His shooting percentage has also increased to 47.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage has reached 42.2%.
Although he has not yet grown into the super future warrior who can attack with no blind spots, Durant is no longer the iron king who became a devil last season.
In addition, Durant had very few offensive moves during this period, which was just enough to give Azubuike and Tony Allen some defensive experience.
Except for Durant...there is really no one in the Thunder who can beat him.
Jeff Green is still very immature, and Westbrook is even tougher than Durant last season. Therefore, the Thunder's current task is really not to produce results, but to perform poorly while allowing a group of talented young people to improve.
Then in this battle, O'Neal felt great.
The Thunder's center is Chris Wilcox. This guy is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. How can he guard O'Neal?
Therefore, the Warriors fans at Oracle Arena enjoyed many of O'Neal's shark dunks!
119 to 95, the Warriors defeated the Thunder with 24 points and avoided two consecutive losses.
At the end of the game, Warriors fans celebrated wildly and loudly.
Although their record last season also successfully topped the league for a while, this season they have almost never fallen from the top of the league.
So far, many experts are still saying that the Warriors' record is inflated and will definitely be brought back to its original form.
But those Warriors fans don’t care!
Moreover, if we are not favored but can achieve such a good record, doesn't it mean that we are awesome?
After the game, Durant, who scored a game-high 41 points, shook hands with Su Bai, with excitement in his eyes.
After Durant left, O'Neal, who scored 38 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks, asked curiously, "Is that guy very proud?"
"It just took 30 shots to score 41 points. What can he be proud of?"
Su Bai, who scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists in this game, smiled and said, "Maybe he thinks this can prove that his scoring ability is better than mine, right?"
"Pfft!"
O'Neal couldn't help laughing, "To be honest, it's really impressive for a sophomore to average 25 points per game, but...he doesn't look at what kind of pervert he chooses to provoke.
By the way, Su, you should definitely be the scoring champion this season, right?"
Su Bai nodded.
He currently ranks first in the league in scoring with 34 points per game!
And he does have the idea of winning the scoring title.
Jordan’s template plus Curry’s three-pointer, it’s unreasonable to not win the scoring title again!
Of course, more often than not, Su Bai would like to focus on team growth.
Competing for the championship is the goal, and the scoring title is just a convenience on the way to the championship.
O'Neal didn't know what Su Bai was thinking, otherwise he would have said something bad.
The gap between Su Bai and Durant now is really wider than last season!
…
After easily beating the Thunder, the Warriors got off to a good start again, until they lost to the Wizards in consecutive road trips on November 25.
The Wizards during this period were also an underdog, to be precise, they were the super weak team in the Eastern Conference. Their record so far was 1 win and 10 losses, making them a strong contender for the No. 1 pick.
However, the Warriors lost against such a super weak team.
The Wizards team broke out, making 8 of 15 three-pointers, and the team's shooting percentage was as high as 53%. Moreover, the Warriors rarely missed three-pointers tonight.
"It's okay, everyone, cheer up. Don't be depressed. It's okay to lose once in a while. Aren't we still number one in the league?" O'Neal said to encourage morale on the special plane flying to Boston.
"They are tied for first place in the league!" Su Bai corrected, "If I remember correctly, the Lakers and Celtics both have a record of 12 wins and 2 losses!"
"Next we have to be more serious."
"Especially you, Shaq, if you work harder tonight, we may still win tonight."
O'Neal spread his hands and said: "I can't fight for that 16-point difference by myself!"
"I'm an old man, just do it."
Everyone on the Warriors team laughed.
The Wizards' interior defense capabilities are not weak, especially the "superstar below the head" O'Neal faced tonight, McGee, is really not that easy to deal with.
"I won't talk about the past. You have to work harder tomorrow night against the Celtics.
Back-to-back or something like that, my old bones may be of limited help."
O'Neal began to "pass the blame" in advance.
Su Bai smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely try my best tomorrow night."
"The Celtics are a rare and good opponent!"
Although Su Bai can't remember whether the Celtics reached the finals this season in their previous life, everything is a little different now. Anyway, the Celtics, who are currently No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, are really likely to reach the finals.
Therefore, Su Bai was still willing to put in more effort against the imaginary enemy.
Hearing what Su Bai said, O'Neal and the other Warriors generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Su Bai's current scoring average ranks first in the league, they always feel that Su Bai's strength is more than that. That guy is more like playing for fun. He will only be serious when facing the top teams.
stand up.
…
That afternoon, during a break at a training facility in Boston, O'Neal looked at his cell phone and shouted excitedly: "Hey guys, here comes the troublemaker."
"Rondo from the Celtics said that Su's previous statistics were all revealed, and he wants Su to 'reveal his true colors' tonight!"
"Su, Rondo is so arrogant, you can't beat him up?"
Facing O'Neal's trouble, Su Bai waved his hand helplessly,
"Let Rondo say whatever he likes."
Just when O'Neal was about to continue to support the fire, Su Bai continued,
"I hope he is in the strongest mood after the game."
"Whoa oh~"
O'Neal and a group of Warriors players heckled.
There's something good to watch tonight!
…
"Hey, Lily, why are you here?"
