Chapter 210 He chose the most difficult road (tenth
"I think he should be able to endorse sports drinks."
O'Neal said with a laugh.
"No, I think some male health supplies would be more suitable and lasting enough."
Barkley talks in a lot of slutty words.
"Did Wade use the one?"
O'Neal said with a big laugh.
Wade was PSed on a small card for male health care products, and he teased him for the whole season.
O'Neal's words immediately made Barkley and Smith laugh.
Before the game started, they boldly predicted that Durant would perform poorly tonight, but they didn't expect that they really hit the nail on the head. The three of them were so happy now.
The Thunder launched a strong counterattack under Harden's leadership in the opening stage of the fourth quarter.
But Ginobili immediately launched an offensive and stabilized the momentum and pulled the gap to 20 points.
Because of the huge gap in points, Durant and Westbrook did not make another appearance in the fourth quarter.
Durant looked very sad. He was holding his hands up and was about to slap Tang Tian.
As a result, he slapped his face directly on his face, and his face was swollen.
In the last few minutes of bench players, the Spurs finally defeated the Thunder 108-96 away.
They won their first victory after the All-Star Game and continued to consolidate their position as No. 1 in the Western Conference.
The Thunder played the best in the best performance of Harden. He played for 25 minutes, made 7 of 15 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws, contributing 23 points and 4 assists.
Westbrook scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, while Ibaka scored 8 points and 10 rebounds.
Although Durant also scored 26 points, he made 10 of 29 shots and was very inefficient.
Parker made 11 of 13 shots and efficiently scored the team's highest 25 points and 9 assists, Duncan scored 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Ginobili scored 20 points and 5 assists.
Tang Tian focused his main energy in this game against Durant, and he only made 6 shots in the whole game.
3 of 6 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, 2 free throws, scoring 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 1 block.
Of course, the data does not reflect Tang Tian’s value in this game.
Anyone who has watched the game knows that Durant has not been able to "beat" Tang Tian in this game, and even has low efficiency in being defended, and is a little embarrassed on the court.
"So that's what it means to beat me. I'm sorry, I'm not sure about it. The first time I've seen it."
"After watching the game, I think James Harden is more like the leader of the Thunder. Durant is like an angry kid, completely disregarding the team, just trying to fulfill his promise, and he failed."
"It's not really Durant's fault. Coach Brooks has been asking him to attack, from coaching staff to teammates, this is a team with the Kevin Durant label."
"This is definitely not the model that the team should have. I think Durant should learn to pass the ball like LeBron."
"Brother, although you're right, I have to remind you that LeBron hasn't won the championship yet."
"Yes, brothers basketball has not been successful yet.(?⊙ω⊙)?"
"No, this season will be successful, this season's Heat are significantly stronger, and they will win the championship this year."
"If I don't win the championship, I think LeBron's historical status will be questioned like never before."
“He chose the hardest path.”
“Isn’t there a harder road?”
"Hey! Hey! You guys are off topic, we are discussing Durant!"
"Okay, but in fact this is just a regular season game. The Thunder and the Spurs still have a good chance to meet in the Western Conference Finals this year. I thought that if Durant played like today, then the Thunder would lose the game..."
"That's impossible. Durant is just not in the form tonight. When he feels, the quality of his defense has no effect on him."
"It seems to be true!"
"That's the truth, otherwise I'll wait and see it in the playoffs!"
"Wait, why is this person's speaking style exactly the same as Durant's trumpet before? Is this the new one he registered?"
“…”
...
The hot discussions among fans on Twitter made the game extremely lively.
But this time, if fans make jokes on Durant’s Twitter, Durant didn’t use his big number to show up to criticize others.
However, you can feel from his speech in the trumpet that he is obviously not convinced and is trying to re-record himself in the playoffs.
Winning the Thunder is a very good start for the Spurs after the All-Star game.
What made Popovich more satisfied was Tang Tian’s high-intensity defense throughout the game, which allowed him to put him on the court with confidence.
Although Jefferson was absent due to injury, Tang Tian's performance in these two games has fully won the trust of Popovich.
He is already the best choice for the Spurs' starting lineup at the third position.
Time flies, and it is March 11th in a blink of an eye. The Spurs played 6 games after the All-Star Game, with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.
In addition to losing to the Bulls, the overall performance was quite perfect, and the chemistry also reached its peak after the start of the season.
Jefferson also made a comeback during this period.
However, he played against strong teams continuously, and Popovich did not immediately arrange for him to play because he did not want to destroy the team's existing chemistry.
It was not until before the game against the Wizards on the 12th that Popovich decided to let Jefferson play.
The Wizards' record this season is poor, just better than the Bobcats, which is the best time to come back.
However, Jefferson directly refused, and he did not even appear at the game.
After playing against the Wizards, Jefferson also sent an email to the Spurs management through his agent.
He expressed his doubts about the team's distrust of him in the email and hoped to get more playing time.
Jefferson renewed a four-year, 38.8 million yuan full guarantee contract with the Spurs in the summer of 2010.
In other words, including this season, he has a contract of three years, so the team cannot cut him at this time.
Moreover, he just returned from injury and the trading value is very low, so he is sure that the Spurs will not trade him and will eventually compromise and give him playing time.
If this is changed, it may be done, but Jefferson seems to have forgotten who this team has the right to speak.
Spurs boss Pete Holt and Popovich have an extremely close relationship, and general manager Buford is also Popovich's former assistant.
Popovich is definitely not just a head coach in the Spurs.
After Jefferson's email arrived at the management, Popovich was immediately angry.
After obtaining management's acquiescence, he directly announced an indefinite ban on Jefferson until the day he was traded to leave the team.
In terms of team interests, it is not sensible to keep a player with a contract of nearly 10 million.
But unfortunately, Popovich is such a tough person. He has been with the Spurs for twenty or thirty years, and he is really the only one who dares to do this.
