Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 51
"The Greek captain scored another triple-double, and the Thunder finally won. After winning the key game, they ranked first and won the Orlando Summer League championship!"

"Is this the vision of a rookie coach? The Thunder's four rookies performed amazingly in the summer league, or will they help the Thunder become the favorites to win the championship in the new season?"

"Presti announced that the Thunder will not sign new players for the time being, and the team's roster has been determined. The Thunder's new season KD + four rookies will dominate the world?" (Ibaka: Where did you put me?)
"Thunder coach Li Sheng: We will be the strongest team in the new season!"

"The Thunder coach said that Durant is the best player in the league, Westbrook will return from injury, and the Thunder will wait and see in the new season."

"Xia Lian performed well, is this rookie coach unusual?"

"The Greek star expressed his gratitude to the team for choosing him, and promised to help the team win the championship!"

With the end of the last game of the summer league, the outside world began to discuss for a period of time, about this event, and the rumors surrounding the event.

The most watched team in the Summer League this time is undoubtedly the Thunder. With the controversy and discussions on Li Sheng and others, their attention has remained high, and it can even be compared to the enthusiasm of some regular season teams.

The only regret is probably that the game was not broadcast live, but after the audience increased, more and more live videos were streamed out. The definition may not be so high, but the exciting feeling of the scene is still immersive.

In the last game, the Thunder almost played their own home game, and the audience was basically cheering for them. This was probably an important reason why the opponent was inaccurate for a while.

Originally, the gap between the two teams wasn't that big, but it turned out that the locals and the Thunder took over, and the morale went up and down. It would be a strange thing not to win.

In the end, there were three teams with the same record, but because of the relationship between victory and defeat, the Thunder ranked first, so they became the first champion of this event.

Of course, not many people take this championship seriously. The focus of everyone's discussion is still on the Thunder and Li Sheng.

The Thunder was originally one of the most watched teams in the league, but it was because of the double juniors before, but now there is a new coach like Li Sheng who has been controversial as soon as he joins.

Correspondingly, the four rookies selected by him also began to reap the enthusiasm that they had never experienced in another time and space when they entered the league. It is not known whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for them.

When Li Sheng and the others took the "trophy" and led the team back to the Thunder for a rest, the new episode of TNT's program went on as scheduled.

The situation has changed a lot after a week, but at this time they will definitely not let it go. This is still a hot topic, not to mention that each had their own positions at the beginning, and now it happens to be an end.

Lord Bargain, who plays the "villain", said, "Although I have been a villain again this time, I am happy to be the spur of new stars. I welcome more and more people to join our legend."

Kenny said he was "playing with the wind", and O'Neill also said with a smile that he regretted not betting with him this time, otherwise he might see him kiss the ass of the donkey again.

But then Barkley argued strongly that the summer league is the summer league, and the regular season is a different game. Although Antetokounmpo's performance is getting better and better, but in the official game, it will be a brand new beginning. Whether he can adapt at that time depends on how he plans to spend this summer.

These words seem to be demeaning and suspicious, but they are not without expectations.

Obviously, it is not appropriate to continue to play the role of "two-faced" at this time, and the direction of public opinion is also changing. When everyone thinks that young players should be given more support and encouragement, they will not be stingy with their praise.

To put it bluntly, there is no need to worry about the positions of these commentators and host guests, because their positions are generally on the side of the audience or a part of the audience, as if appearing in the commentary booth on their behalf.

On the surface, everyone seems to have their own supporters, but in fact, most people just want to watch the excitement, the exciting games and the good performances of the stars.

This is probably what true neutral fans like to watch, but this kind of situation is too rare after all. If you have no position and will be questioned, it is better to set one for yourself first. Anyway, no matter whether you support it or get slapped in the face, you will have reaped the benefits you deserve.

Make money, not shabby.

At this time, another guest, the legendary shooter Reggie Miller, who was invited this time, smiled and started another topic: "What do you think of the Thunder's head coach thinking that KD is currently the strongest player in the league?"

When a topic ends, a new topic is naturally needed to attract traffic and spark discussions.

At the end of the Summer League, the media asked Li Sheng to look forward to the Thunder's new season, especially in the absence of Westbrook, what kind of performance KD will lead the team. Li Sheng's evaluation of KD also caused some controversy.

After all, there has never been a lack of discussion about which player in the league is the strongest. This is a topic that has always been controversial, no matter who says it.

During the three consecutive championships of the Lakers, O'Neal was undoubtedly recognized as the strongest player in the strongest team, and he was unstoppable in dominating the inside. All teams in the league that aspire to win the championship have a standard tank center configuration, which is prepared to fight against him.

Later, the Pistons, Spurs and Heat won the championship successively, but the Pistons were considered "civilian champions" without a single outstanding point. Duncan was not as dominant as O'Neal, and Wade was just a third-year rookie.

Until the Lakers won two consecutive championships again, Kobe, as the head player at this time, is naturally qualified to compete for the title of strongest.

It's a pity that he soon fell with injuries, and the Lakers also began a long period of poor performance.

At this time, James came to Miami to form the Big Three brothers. Although the public opinion was quite harsh, but after they entered the finals twice and won the championship, they still hoped that his era would finally come.

To put it bluntly, "Baotuan" is a black spot, but as long as you win the MVP, the championship and the FMVP, after a few years, there will still be a bunch of media and fans who only honor public opinion and praise you as the league's No. 1, the "goat" of the new century.

Many people say that James' reputation began to improve after the championship in 16. In fact, when the Heat won the first championship, many people have already started to talk about it. This is "the winner is king".

When I went to the Heat, a bunch of people said that he had lost the chance to become a goat. After 16 years, wouldn't a bunch of people start to praise him?

But it is a pity that because of the arrival of Li Sheng here, James' second championship fell through.

Lost in the finals again, and even when the public opinion was dominant before the game, he lost to the Spurs, who were considered old, small, and not dominant, and didn't even make it to the tiebreaker.

In the past three years with the Heat, they have entered the finals three times and lost twice. What kind of horse is this? (Mavericks, Spurs: Are you polite)

Next, there is still the last year of James' contract, and the media began to speculate that if he still fails to win the championship next season, this may be his last year with the Heat.

As for which team he will go to at that time, anyway, many teams are already preparing to clear their contracts to welcome the arrival of the "King".
