Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 335 335. Comeback Statement
Since the opponents in the second round, the Rockets and the Spurs, have not yet been decided, the Thunder got two more days of rest.

Although the Spurs' resistance is very tenacious, Aldridge and DeRozan are not opponents of Harden who is at his peak. With the addition of Paul, the Rockets' entry into the second round is a certainty.

The Thunder also seized the opportunity to train seriously, targeting the Rockets' three-pointers.

Li Cha also had to seriously study how to deal with Harden.

After defeating the Lakers, the Thunder did not celebrate.

It's just the first step in the rough going forward in the playoffs.

"Everyone! I'm late." Westbrook entered the arena from the outside, and his teammates' training clothes were already soaked.

Westbrook's greeting didn't make anyone stop, and he didn't care, but immediately took off his coat and stepped into the court.

The trainer passed a ball in time, and Westbrook immediately joined the enthusiastic training.

As early as five days ago, Westbrook had joined the team to train together. From the beginning, he was a little cautious. Now, Westbrook has confirmed that his exercise will not cause pain, which means that he has fully met the conditions for a comeback.

Under normal circumstances, I have tried breakthroughs, changes of direction, and dunks. Westbrook needs to exert more than [-]% of his strength before he will feel uncomfortable.

After joining the training for two days and trying to fight again, the team finally reached a consensus with Westbrook, which is to come back in the second round.

"I can't wait to get back to my teammates," Westbrook said to reporters.

The comeback is still under the excellent opportunity of the team sweeping and eliminating the Lakers.

With the current state of the team, it is possible to play against the Rockets, and Westbrook's comeback at this time will inject greater strength and confidence into the Thunder.

Thunder suddenly seemed to have a second spring.

"Russell, did you see that the team came back after entering the second round of the series? You think Li Cha can't lead the team past the second round, right?"

There are always good journalists asking provocative questions.

Westbrook's expression is very subtle, and the smiling face is obviously very blunt. With Westbrook's character, such a question will only get one answer.

Just when everyone thought Westbrook would say "next question", Westbrook's smile returned to nature.

"You're wrong. I'm not worried about where Li Cha will go. What I'm worried about is that if I don't play for a season, I won't be able to get a championship ring."

It is really rare when Westbrook has a high emotional intelligence.

This remark not only answered the reporter's question, but also expressed his confidence in the team, and also expressed the team's idea of ​​wanting to win this year in a joking way.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

At the beginning of the season, the Thunder was indeed full of hopes of hitting the championship. Various media reports and evaluations of the Thunder were also very optimistic. After all, there is an all-around guard, a striker with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and a shooting guard with super scoring ability. Such a powerful lineup can wrestle with any team.

And he also proved himself in the game.

However, a whole season has passed, and because of the injury, everyone can see what the Thunder are now. Even if Westbrook returns from injury at this time, can he recover [-]% of his state?
Even if it can be restored to a [-]% state, there is still one George missing.

Even if the Thunder were lucky enough to sweep the Lakers in the first round, it was only because James lacked helpers and the Lakers' shooters were too scumbag.

And the further you go, the stronger the opponent you will face. It is really very difficult to win the championship.

The honor of the championship also makes many outstanding players almost unable to enter the Hall of Fame.

Such as Nash, McGrady, Yao Ming, Webber, etc., or there will be Anthony, Howard, Paul in the future.

In order to fulfill their aspirations in the career they love, many players desperately want to join a strong team at the end of their careers to affix the last golden brick for themselves, but they return home in frustration and retire depressed.

Such as Malone and Payton.

But this is the NBA, this is competitive sports.

Westbrook said this in line with the players' pursuit of the championship, and even slightly vilified himself, saying that he came back to win the honor of the championship, and he killed the words that provoked him to distrust other players.

But how could the reporters not know that Westbrook's comeback is to fight against stronger opponents.

"Russell, is the Thunder's goal this year to win the championship?" Another reporter boldly asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

"Our goal every year is to win the championship, so we will continue to introduce players, strengthen the lineup, and hone newcomers. The Thunder has never been a team that easily admits defeat, so I also overcame injuries and returned to my teammates. I want to fight with everyone for victory!"

Westbrook's voice was full of emotion, and it sounded really encouraging. If the Thunder players were on the scene at this time, they would definitely be given a severe injection.

Even if all the reporters present at this time were known for their calmness, they were all infected by Westbrook's blood.

Although thousands of people stop me, I will go!
"Now the Thunder's tactics are based on Li Cha. Russell, if you come back in the playoffs, will it disrupt the team's tactics? If you redesign the tactics now, it will have a greater impact on the team."

This reporter is a fan of the Thunder. Even if he is not a fan, at least he supports the Thunder. Otherwise, he would not ask such a question.

Of course, it may also be used to obtain information for the opponent team.

"During the season when I was injured, Lee undertook the burden of the team very well and made great progress in scoring. Now the team's tactics revolve around Lee. This is the state that has been used this season. I will not destroy this state."

"I will join in and cooperate with Li to play! We have been playing together for two years, and there is still a tacit understanding. I will be Li's strongest support."

Westbrook's words caused an uproar again. The former boss said that he would become the younger brother's assistant. Is this abdication?
Even if Li Cha's performance this year proves that he can drive the team forward, Westbrook is not only the core of the team's tactics, but also the spiritual pillar of the Thunder team.

Could it be that Westbrook will be traded?

Oklahoma wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

That undoubtedly offended all the fans.

The press conference lasted a long time.

It was originally just a simple matter of Westbrook making a comeback statement, but with Westbrook's own traffic and a good mood, the reporters got a lot of news materials that they thought were very explosive.

That's when Westbrook was late for training.

The outside media made a fuss, but the Thunder's training was not affected at all.

The Rockets failed to resolve the series in Game [-] and were dragged to the home court of the Spurs. If they lose in Game [-], they will be dragged into the tiebreaker. Excessive physical exertion and the Thunder game will be very unfavorable.

The Warriors also failed to eliminate the Clippers, and the two sides also entered the sixth game.

The Blazers and Jazz's Tianwangshan Jazz won.

Except for the Thunder, the other three series have all entered 3:2.

This really surprised the fans. The least favored team entered the second round first, and then waited for other opponents. There were at least two games before they waited.

Although I am worried that the competitive state will cool down, it is also good to get a rest.

This also fully demonstrates how fierce the competition in the West is.

The west is strong and the east is weak has become a status quo that has to be accepted.

In the East, the gap between the top four and five to eight is very obvious.

The Raptors eliminated the Pistons 4:1.

The Celtics swept out the Pacers 4:0.

The Bucks swept and eliminated the Magic 4:0.

Digital Man eliminated the Nets 4:1.

In the semifinals, the Eastern Conference will also start to fight hard.

The Raptors and the numbers, the Celtics and the Bucks, the four teams are hard to distinguish.

Finally, two more days later, the West also completed the series, and the three teams played 4:2 to eliminate their opponents.

The Warriors will face the Jazz in the second round, and the Rockets will be the opponents of the Thunder.

Except for the Thunder's next win, the others are the picks to win the series.

In this way, the Thunder has become a standout, a different kind.

It has become a dark horse in the hands of some audiences and gamblers.

You must know that the Rockets lost to the combination of Li Cha and George at the beginning of the season. Although the Thunder lost consecutively to the Rockets, it was not easy for the Rockets to win.

Now that the combination of Westbrook and Li Cha has returned, both sides are a backcourt combination, and there is a fight.

Moreover, Anthony was abandoned by the league after playing for the Rockets for a year. It would be difficult to have such an effect if the Rockets had not contributed to it. The reason is that the Rockets exaggerated Anthony's shortcomings infinitely.

It is impossible to say that Anthony has no hatred or anger towards the Rockets, but now that he has the opportunity to defeat the opponent, I believe Anthony will definitely play a strong confrontation in the game.

With such speculation, the game between the Thunder and the Rockets has suspense.

On April 4, the Thunder players came to Houston to be a guest at the Rockets' home court.

The cities where the two teams are located are not far away, and the climate has not become an advantage. The rest still depends on the players to decide.

"Russell! I'm so happy for you to see your injury recover!" Harden came to the side of the Thunder before the game.

Westbrook and Li Cha stood with hands behind each other, facing Harden.

Anthony stared bitterly at his teammates from last year in the distance.

"James, you should feel sorry for yourself." Westbrook started spamming trash without a game.

"Don't talk about that, I'll take you to the nightclub after the game!" Harden blinked at the two.

"I will not accompany you!" He was ruthlessly rejected by Li Cha and Westbrook!

　Yes, the recent update has been a bit delayed because the book is almost finished.

　　I once said that when it is time to end, I will end it, and I will write a relatively perfect ending.Stay tuned.
