Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 306 226 [The Situation]

"The Oklahomans have learned their lesson. They understand that for a superstar, vicious personal attacks and racial discrimination will not frustrate his desire to fight, but will make him fight and explode with amazing energy."

"The bayonet told everyone in the third game of the series that he is not a guy who is easy to beat, and he is not good at taking the humiliation when someone offends him, he will make the strongest fight back, of course , all of this is based on the premise that he has the ability to terrorize."

In fact, the atmosphere at the Thunder's home court was as low as freezing point.

For the home fans, for many consecutive seasons, this team has always degenerated from hope to despair. Every season is the most promising year, but every season is the least hopeful year.

From the era of Thunder Four to the era of Thunder Gemini, and then to the current new Gemini.

This team seems to lack the most fundamental thing to want to win the championship.

That kind of thing should be the foundation of the championship.

It's just that time has changed, who knows when that kind of thing will appear.

At least for now, it's not possible.

Therefore, for some fans, Xiao Zhan hopes that this team can be completely dismantled.

It started with the failure of this series this season.

Start all over again.

This is a choice of last resort.

Because this team, or the leader of this team, Russell Westbrook, has used many seasons to prove to everyone that he is an excellent player, but not this team, the city's leader. Championship catalyst.

"The atmosphere of the freezing point at home gave us a message. All of this is a bit sad, but in fact, in the history of the NBA, this kind of tragedy is really not uncommon. There is only one O'Brien Cup every season, so some players are born winners, while some players are destined to be miserable throughout their careers”

When the game started, Bayonet really fulfilled his remarks before the game started, he would not take the lead in the whole series without the slightest slack.

On the contrary, he showed his desire to fight in the game as always.

People understand that in this case, if they want to give up the bayonet attack, there is only one way, and that is for the Thunder to surrender immediately.

But in reality, this is not possible.

People don't know why, when the whole series is gone, Russell Westbrook's desire to attack is very strong in this game.

He scored 16 points in the first quarter, leading the Thunder to show a tenacious style of play.

This makes people's eyes bright, but it also makes many people feel bad about it.

"I don't know why, I always feel that this may be Russell Westbrook's last game with the Oklahoma Thunder. I don't know why, and even my idea is a bit ridiculous, but in fact, it really likely to happen"

Kenny Smith, who never liked to joke, actually said such a thing at this time.

"Whether it's Russell Westbrook or Paul George, they have just completed their contract extensions with the Thunder, so I don't think this will happen. If the news after the last game is true, then I would rather believe the head coach Donovan will be the one to leave, because for the Thunder, even if the management is determined to rebuild, neither Russell Westbrook nor Paul George should be part of the trade.”

Charles Barkley immediately disagreed.

From his perspective, at least at this stage, Russell Westbrook and Paul George are not for sale in the Thunder.

"This is not the point. The point is that once the Bayonets lead the Dallas Mavericks to win the O'Brien Cup this summer, the situation in the entire league will undergo tremendous changes, and the existing situation will be completely broken. By that time , in fact, anything can happen"

Shaq O'Neal responded to Kenny Smith's point of view from another angle. In his opinion, it is not impossible for Kenny Smith's point of view to happen, because when the entire overall situation has changed dramatically, the so-called impossible It's not really impossible anymore.

"Since the Miami Heat's big three won the championship, whether it was the final outbreak of the San Antonio Spurs' gdp combination in the middle, or the rise of the Golden State Warriors later, or the San Antonio Spurs' blockbuster again last season, in fact, in the past ten years, the main theme of the league There has been no change, that is, the core configuration of the winning team is the Big Three.”

"In other words, building the core configuration of the Big Three to win the championship has become a fact recognized by everyone, and it is also a proven very successful configuration to win the championship."

"However, this accepted fact is being broken this season"

"Do you understand what I mean? Bayonet is undoubtedly a superstar, but what about the entire Dallas Mavericks? As far as this season is concerned, the regular season is okay. Once it comes to the playoffs, Bayonet, if there is no card Mellen Anthony's unexpected return to the top, I'm actually not that optimistic about the prospects of this team's championship"

Shaq continued.

He talked about a very core thing.

That is the winning configuration.

What he means is that once the Bayonets can lead the Dallas Mavericks to the championship, the tradition of winning configurations that has lasted for nearly ten years will be broken.

Because judging from the current situation of the Lone Ranger playoffs, this team is at best a double giant team.

"I wouldn't say this is a renaissance. Although the early 21st century is also the core configuration of the two giants to win the championship, it is different. It is still a two-team model. It can't be said clearly in one or two sentences, but there is one thing. I still have to emphasize that once the Dallas Lone Ranger can really win the championship, the situation in the league will definitely change this summer.”

Shaquille O'Neal seemed very confident in his judgment.

On the court, when the second quarter was over, the score unexpectedly did not open. On the contrary, in the case of Russell Westbrook's unexpected runaway, before the halftime break, the Thunder at home Also has a 5-point lead.

For those who followed the game, this was a surprise, because the Thunder never took the lead after the first two quarters of the series.

"This will make this game more or less suspenseful, but that's all. At least I don't think it is a bad situation for the Dallas Mavericks to be behind by 5 points. Or that sentence, the two teams There is a gap in overall strength, and this gap will be more obvious in the whole game."
