Chapter 201

[Congratulations to the coach for leading the team to win the All-Star Game and get 10 reward points]

[Congratulations to the coach's player Kevin Durant for winning the All-Star Game MVP and receiving a special reward "Star Performance Package"]

After the game, Durant took over the All-Star MVP amidst the cheers of the audience, and Li Sheng also heard the prompt from the system.

I was also surprised. After opening it, I realized that this is something that can extract a star skill.

All-stars are also stars, and what Li Sheng got was acting skills.

[Acting Rating: You have been able to make guest appearances in major film and television dramas without any sense of disobedience]

"..."

This is the biggest sense of disobedience, okay?
Li Sheng secretly slandered, this is the basketball coaching system, if you give me some acting skills, do you want me to act on the bench and pretend to be deep?

I'm not Schneider...

Besides, the guest appearance is just a trick, and this evaluation is worse than nothing.

Li Sheng suspected that the system was trying to deliberately take a funny route, but unfortunately it didn't work at all, anyway, Li Sheng himself didn't laugh.

However, with the [-]-point reward as a base, coupled with the previous gains, Li Sheng's mood has not been affected by this, so he is still very happy.

"According to this time, after a little accumulation, it is almost 100 points again. Next, we need to find some good things and prepare for the playoffs!"

After the All-Star, there are still more than [-] regular season games, and each team basically has to plan for the future.

To sprint to the playoffs, the bad players will continue to do badly, but for a team like the Thunder who are determined to compete for the championship, they must train their troops while maintaining their condition, and avoid injuries, so as to fully enter the playoffs.

Because the wins with the No.2 Spurs are not small, they can relax a lot in the following games, and Li Sheng can also practice some ideas that he hadn't thought of before.

Although they have only lost five games so far, the outside world has been creating public opinion that they will hit the NBA single-season winning record. Even the team has a lot of voices, whether it is the fans, the general manager or the owner, they all put a certain amount of pressure on Li Sheng.

But Li Sheng still insisted on following his own ideas. If they can still break the record in this situation, they will break it, because it means that their strength has reached another level, just like the Dynasty Lakers, like the 17 Warriors, so there is no need to worry about the playoffs.

But if it doesn't work, then let nature take its course and focus on training to keep the state, so as not to encounter Waterloo in the playoffs.

Compared with the regular season, Li Sheng values ​​the honor of the playoffs more.

After the All-Star Game, there were still three days to rest, and Li Sheng and the others did not stay in New Orleans, but returned directly to Oklahoma City.

Then Li Sheng directly gave them three days off to let them have a good rest.

The result may be that this rest, something happened to the rest.

On Thursday, February 2th, the Thunder played at home against the Miami Heat, and it turned out that the team was almost sleepwalking.

Gobert, Antetokounmpo, Reggie, and Westbrook are all out of shape. They can also be said to have All-Star syndrome. Ibaka, Robertson, Ennis, and Lamb can only be said to have rested for too long and have no feeling.

Durant scored a game-high 37 points, but it didn't help. He almost gnawed at the old man. Fisher scored three three-pointers and tried to catch up with the point difference, but was wasted by his teammates.

In the end, the Thunder lost 87:102 by 25 points and got their worst loss of the season.

In fact, it’s not just that they didn’t play well, but also because their opponents played better. The Heat’s rare Big Three were all online, and their role players performed mediocre this time. Battier and Ray Allen were inaccurate on three-pointers.

But the Big Three scored 80 points together, especially Wade, who was in a brave state, scoring 24 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists. Bosh hit the inside continuously and made 12 free throws, which greatly helped the team.

Coupled with James' pocket, when this Heat team can really play the role of a star, their upper limit is still not low.

However, this kind of scene is rare, so in fact, Lei Ting was not very lucky, and he was not sure of it.

After all, it was another loss with less than 90 points...

Losing another game, the outside world's expectations for them to break the Bulls' record have suddenly been lowered a lot. They still felt very promising before, but now they feel less stable.

One is the problem of its own state. This is not the first time that the Thunder's team is not online, and as the season progresses, it may become more and more frequent due to the exhaustion accumulated in the early stage.

Durant's MVP performance this season, it is impossible for one person to take the bottom of the whole team, not to mention that he himself will have ups and downs.

The second is that when the opponent hits them, it is as easy to perform supernormally as fighting chicken blood.

In fact, it was reflected in the previous games, even if it was a bad team, they wanted to take a bite out of them when they met the Thunder.

The so-called NBA has no underdogs, the kind of teams that have no record worries at all may sometimes play better if they let go.

Even in the playoffs, there are situations where strong teams capsize in the gutter, let alone the regular season.

Fortunately, the six teams that the Thunder have lost so far, the Warriors, Nets, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, and Heat, are all playoff teams except the Nuggets, and the Thunder have defeated them all.

However, after all, the Thunder's loss is still something that the outside world cares more about than winning, and the degree of discussion has suddenly increased a lot, and then some bad-mouthing claims have routinely popped up, which seem to be well-founded, but in fact they are completely nonsense.

Just like the NBA often talks about some metaphysics, it is only called metaphysics when the rules are maintained, but once it is broken, it will not be mentioned again.

And is there still less so-called metaphysics that has been broken in the NBA over the years?

Only some "metaphysics" like 0:3 behind, which is difficult to come back, may continue to exist.

Two days later, the Thunder played against the Clippers again at home, and they quickly adjusted back to their state.

In fact, as a coach now, Li Sheng can't usually do much.

After all, the team already has a mature system, and everyone just needs to play according to this framework. Li Sheng often makes adjustments on the field and needs to respond according to the situation on the field, and this also depends on the state of the players.

Fortunately, Ibaka was the first to wake up, and Antetokounmpo and Gobert were also slightly out of the All-Star state.

The best performance in this game is still Durant, who scored 28 points, 15 rebounds and 45 assists on 5 of 11 shots. Ibaka scored 19 points and 9 rebounds. Antetokounmpo and Gobert also scored in double figures. Gobert also had 6 assists.

Westbrook has been in a slump for two consecutive games. In this game, he only scored 13 points on 5 of 14 and made 4 turnovers.

On the contrary, Fisher is a veteran. The two pre-match trainings were in good condition. Li Sheng added him to the roster, and he was able to contribute steadily as soon as he played. This game exploded, making 7 of 5 three-pointers and scoring a season-high 15 points.

The Thunder made 45 three-pointers with a 18% shooting rate, and finally beat the Clippers 121:118.

Today, the Clippers were dragged away by two veterans in their 30s. Crawford also scored 5 points with 36 three-pointers. Barnes dreamed of returning to the gang, scoring 24 points and 7 rebounds, and made 10 of 6 three-pointers.

In addition, Paul, Griffin, and Jordan also played. Paul had 17+10 assists and Jordan had 16+10 rebounds.

Their problem still lies in the rotation stage. Only Collison scored 4 points as a substitute, and it was another day when the Thunder replaced him.
