Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 122
本场比赛雷霆最终以128:119在主场战胜了奇才队，除了砍下43分13篮板8助攻的杜兰特，就要数拿到24分12篮板的伊巴卡和得到了15分9篮板6助攻的字母哥表现最好了。

Brother Antetokounmpo also drove low and went high today. The second half played better and better. Although there are still some flaws, overall it is very satisfying.

In fact, including this game, in the past six games, the most stable of the four rookies is Robertson. His defense can keep the lower limit.

And the team doesn't need him to take on too many offensive tasks, the main thing is to let him lock the arrow on the opposite side.

The restrictions on Wall are done very well today. In the future, experience will be accumulated slowly, and his shooting will gradually improve. He will be even better.

Antetokounmpo, Gobert, and Ennis all have some ups and downs, especially Antetokounmpo, who has the best stats among the four now, because he has more ball possessions, but he makes a lot of mistakes.

Of course, compared with the offensive tasks he undertakes, these mistakes are tolerable. Durant and Westbrook will still make mistakes, and not any playmaker can be as stable as a cannon, let alone such a stable cannon is the king of being overturned...

The key is that now is the period of increasing the ball, and it is worthwhile to be able to train him out.

After the game against the Wizards, the Thunder has won a wave of six consecutive victories. It is currently ranked first in the West and is the only team in the West that has maintained a complete victory so far.

The defending champion Spurs ranked second with six wins and one loss after today's game, followed by the Trail Blazers, Clippers, Texas Xiaoqiang, Suns, Timberwolves and Warriors. This is the current ranking of the top eight in the Western Conference.

However, there have only been six or seven games since the start of the competition, which does not explain the problem. Every year there are some strong starts, but after ten games, they will start to diverge.

But firstly, the Thunder had the previous achievements as a base, and with the core still in place, they would not be able to collapse no matter how they collapsed; secondly, this was achieved without an offensive core.

So don't worry about what the outside world says about the pseudo-strong team, the schedule is good-in fact, including Li Sheng himself thinks so, and also said so in the team, but what he said is mainly to cool down the team, especially the rookies at this time must not be complacent.

Some people really feel that way, it's a bit like being led by the media.

Speaking of this season, the NBA as a whole is really not very strong. In the West, Westbrook is injured, Texas Xiaoqiang has just run in, and the Clippers have never disappointed people. The Mavericks are really old.

Not to mention the Eastern Conference, such a Heat can rush out, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a puddle of mud.

Therefore, in addition to the added difficulty of the powerful Spurs, the journey to win the championship is basically smooth.

Of course, if the opponent is too weak, it may be that the Spurs are too strong. After all, the Western Conference has a [-]% winning rate in the regular season and did not make it to the playoffs.

Of course, I won’t talk about the east, I can only say that everyone who understands understands.

In fact, although the competition in the Western Conference is fierce in the regular season, the situation in the playoffs is basically clear.

The Mavericks and Grizzlies who are currently ranked behind have always entered the rhythm relatively slowly, but they are always much more stable than young teams such as the Suns and Timberwolves, and the hope is still greater.

Moreover, the combat power of each team may be different due to the schedule, the impact of team injuries, trades, ups and downs in status, and tactical targeting.

It is not surprising that there is an accident, it is almost understandable like last year, everything is possible.

Of course, the current record of the Thunder can at least show that the current state is good, so they will definitely be among the best in the new battle strength list-they were only ranked tenth in the league in the last period.

Because it was at home, several players participated in post-match interviews after the game, and the next game was far away, so there was no need for additional training, and everyone disbanded and went back to rest.

Then on Monday of the second day, they first ushered in a good news. Durant won his first week of the season.

Now the best of the week in the NBA is divided into East and West. Last week, the best of the week in the West was given to Paul of the Clippers. First, the Clippers won all three games and the Thunder also won all games but only two games, missing one game.

Yuan Shikong actually had a bad start against the Lakers in the first season opener of the Clippers, but I don’t know if it was because of the influence of Li Sheng. The Clippers did not collapse in the final quarter of this game and won the final victory.

The best of the week in the original time and space is actually Love of the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have won three consecutive victories at the beginning of the game.

But now they lost a game to the Thunder, so although Love's data performance is also very good, he still lost to Paul.

Second, of course, Paul's personal data is also good enough, especially in the game against the Warriors on November 11, he scored 1 points, 42 assists and 15 steals, which can be said to have taken away data in victory.

It may also be because the Clippers had a good winning percentage against the Warriors and Paul against Curry at this time, so the Warriors won the championship in 15 years and the river document said sourly that they did not meet the Clippers.

But everyone knows the story behind it...

The Thunder also won all three games this week. Durant averaged a perfect stat of 29+11+8 per game, and was elected the best of the week in the Western Conference without any suspense. His biggest competitor was Morris, who was originally the best of the week.

This is of course a good start for Durant to compete for the MVP, and the next step will mainly depend on the team's performance.

Although for Durant, the best of the week is just a small honor, but he thought of what Li Sheng said before to help him compete for the MVP this season, so he still proposed to treat him.

Li Sheng thought about it, and simply called Brother Antetokounmpo and the rookies together.

As a result, other people heard about it and wanted to come. In the end, the whole team, including Westbrook and Presti, came over, and then they made it a barbecue dinner directly in Durant's villa.

Of course, this time is not just to celebrate Durant's best of the week, but also a reason to celebrate their unbeaten record and the number one in the league.

Durant didn't have a family and no children until he was in his 30s, but his growth environment can't be considered bad among black players, it can only be said to be average.

He is a standard single-mother family, and his father has not been around since he was a child. Naturally, the family conditions are not good, but his mother must have put a lot of thought into being able to raise him well.

No matter what happens to Durant in the original time and space, his family relationship is not a problem, and his words in the MVP speech, every time I listen to it, people can still feel the greatness and moving of maternal love.

Human beings are inherently complicated, with both good and bad sides. As long as it is not completely corrupted, there is no need to completely deny it.

Durant's professional attitude and skills should not be criticized because of his character and choice, especially after recovering from such a serious injury and still standing among the league's superstars, it is enough to explain the problem.

However, it can only be said that in the game of winning and losing in sports, public opinion judges heroes by success or failure. If Durant can continue to win, maybe there will not be so many criticisms in the future.

After all, no matter the players or the fans, if they win the game, their voices will be louder, and the media are also sloppy, and they like to praise the victor's stinky feet.

"Come on, this cup, I propose, to the coach!"

"That's right, coach!"
