I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 219 218. Durant Tastes 'Foot Wash'

The consecutive scoring by Chen Long and Rose helped the Bulls regain a safe lead.

The Thunder, which had already decided to play poorly, did not send in the main force to try to chase points. In the fourth quarter, the two teams directly turned the game into garbage time.

Many Thunder fans left the game early in disappointment.

One of the best things about having a young team building foundation is being able to watch them grow, but like being a parent, witnessing the process of growing up is painful in itself.

Durant and Westbrook still have potential, and they played attractive enough early on.

From this perspective, Thunder fans are lucky.

Because more often, the young cornerstones of the team are unable to fulfill their talents at all, and fall early or suffer unfortunate injuries and are forced to fall.

There is no problem with the vision of Thunder's top management. The problem is that their thinking is too speculative. It will never be possible to build a real championship team. Coupled with the appearance of Chen Long, it is as strong as the Thunder's three young men, and they can only be broken up by him in advance. Way to go.

Because Barkley brought his production team to Oklahoma, where they set up a special show video room.

Originally, a program like NBA Insider could change studios, because no one would pay attention to where they were, what mattered was what they said and did.

Barkley extended an invitation to Durant and Chen Long.

Chen Long knew what would happen, so he prepared a can of special bottled water early on, which contained a drink that looked like footwashing water.

And Durant had no idea what was coming.

Durant, who was already interested in being on the show, of course did not refuse Barkley's invitation.

Westbrook is still very envious, but he knows that it is impossible for him to be on this kind of live broadcast at his current level, so he just played a guest role as a driver and sent Durant to the temporary studio.

Durant, who is wearing a casual sweatshirt, has no star quality in front of these staff except for his eye-catching height.

So much so that Barkley pretended not to recognize Durant, and then treated him like a working boy.

Durant thought that the guests on the show would do such a small thing of handing things over, so he didn't refuse.

Then everyone around laughed.

"what happened?"

Durant feels that he has been ridiculed, and his reaction to such things is often very violent. Although Durant has not yet focused on Twitter, Durant has the potential to be a keyboard warrior.

Barkley smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, let's get down to business, what do you think of the city of Oklahoma?"

Durant paused, then praised the city. Seattle is beautiful, but they have better venues in Oklahoma.

For an NBA team, what matters is not who the neighbors are or what the environment of the city is like, but the arena. Compared with the previous Key Arena, the current Ford Center is much more modern as a whole.

Barkley pretended to agree when he heard Durant's words, but in fact he was not listening at all, his mind was on how to lure Chen Long out.

At this time, Kenny Smith, Barkley's partner, said, "KD, we all know that you made an interesting bet with Chen Long."

Hearing this, Durant suddenly shuddered, because he thought he knew why these two people invited him to the show.

But as an adult, you can't pretend to be stupid when facing the camera to confuse the public.

So Durant had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded, "Actually, it's not a bet. I just made a joke with Chen Long."

Barkley laughed, "A joke?"

"That's right, we are both very good at scoring players, especially when I saw his performance, I thought, since we can all score 40 points, why not challenge for a higher score..."

Hearing this, Kenny Smith said with a smirk on his face, "So you just set up a 60-point challenge?"

"Yes, this is really a joke, I'm just curious who can get 60 points first."

Durant's expression was already very uncomfortable, because it's not easy to shake his face and leave directly in this kind of show hosted by NBA celebrities.

But this topic is too embarrassing for Durant.

The scene was quiet for a while.

At this time, the big screen in the studio showed the betting tweet that Durant had deleted.

Then both Kenny Smith and Barkley laughed.

Durant's face turned green.

Because he directly said on Twitter, "If Chen Long scored 60 points before me, I would rather drink his footwashing water... This is impossible. In the next game, I will get 60 points in the game Points, and then end this bet!"

"KD, do you have anything else to say?"

Durant was taken aback, "Okay, this is a bet, but Chen Long didn't take it to heart, we've already communicated..."

"is it?"

After Barkley finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said to another guest channel, "Welcome the head star of the Chicago Bulls, this year's AMVP winner Chen Long!"

Durant stood up directly, because he never expected that Barkley not only invited himself, but also his deadly enemy Chen Long.

Chen Long came up empty-handed, which made Durant slightly relieved.

So he got up and hugged Chen Long, and then pretended to be innocent and said to Barkley, "You guys scared me, really..."

"Does this scare you?" Barkley laughed again, and then blackened himself about the past when he kissed the donkey's ass because he was not optimistic about Yao Ming.

Of course Durant knew the stalk, and everyone was laughing except him.

Barkley asked, "Don't you think this is funny?"

Durant forced a smile and said, "I think everyone gets slapped in the face, it's normal..."

Barkley nodded, "It's normal, but as a man, when we are slapped in the face, we should stand up and fulfill our promises."

Then Barkley looked at Chen Long, "I heard that you have prepared that thing."

Durant stood up directly, his expression was so helpless that he was about to cry.

Chen Long smiled and snapped his fingers, and then the staff came up with a bottle of water and an empty red wine glass.

Durant subconsciously covered his mouth, thinking this is not real, I must be dreaming.

But everything was too real, so he turned to leave, and Barkley stopped Durant, and then whispered to him, "Don't worry, it's not real footwash, but for the effect of the show, and for your reputation, I want you to play along."

Hearing this, Durant calmed down a little, but he gave Barkley a blank look, thinking that it would be better if you told me earlier, which scared me so much that my heart would jump out.

"I remember my bet. Congratulations to Chen Long for scoring 60 points. This is a terrifying statistic. Therefore, I am willing to accept the bet and drink your footwashing water."

Durant unscrewed the bottle cap himself and poured a little drink into a wine glass.

He still shook it in the cup, "Well, you can't hang a cup on this footwashing water..."

Barkley and the others laughed silly, and Chen Long also applauded.

Then, Durant raised his neck and drank the fake foot-washing water, shouting, "I would like to admit defeat, this is a man!"

After this incident, Durant's popularity has not decreased, but has increased. This is the NBA's business entertainment model...
