The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 756 756 The strongest signings!Overtime, overtime!

After losing to the Cavaliers, there will be many Thunder fans clamoring for trades and reinforcements in the future.

After all, they still believed in the means of the Thunder management.

However, despite the gossip flying everywhere, the Thunder officials did not make any response.

In fact, there were meetings within the Thunder team.

They also tried to trade with other teams.

But other teams are not stupid, and the asking prices for those shooters are extremely high!
After some calculations, the Thunder management felt that it would be better to look at the Development League and tap the team's potential.

Moreover, with the return of Zhou Si, the Thunder returned to the winning streak, and all problems were solved.

Among them, the most explosive performance is Durant who played in the Christmas game.

In the next 8 games in the next half month, Durant averaged 40.2 points per game!
Among them, there is naturally the reason why everyone on the Thunder team plays the ball, but Durant's own state is really good.

"This dude is kind of like Kobe.

It is really crazy to average 8 points per game in 40 consecutive games!
KD is fully capable of leading the MVP battle!
The Rockets have 8 wins and 0 losses in the past eight games, and the person who supports the whole team is KD. "

"Thunder fans: Durant is currently playing crazy."

"Nets fans: KD is really hard to defend with his mixed skill set.

There are three points, there are mid-range breakthroughs.

It's really hard to defend people! "

"Lakers fans: He's really unstoppable, unstoppable.

You think you know what he's going to do, but he still scores. "

"Blazers fans: Someone can guard him, but that person is his teammate now!"

"Hahahahaha! It's too real!"

"Blazers fans: Although Durant is eye-catching, Zhou also shines!
Without Zhou's inside defense and rebounding, even if KD maintains such scoring momentum, it will be difficult to achieve such leading results! "

"That's right, Zhou has proven that he is an insider monster!

He is the first person in NBA history who can be called outstanding from the first position to the fifth position! "

Then, Durant, who was interviewed by reporters, responded to the remarks about the team's need to trade.

"We don't need a deal!"

……

During a winning streak, with an official news from the Thunder, they once again returned to the cusp.

"After our discussions with @cousins, he will be back against the Warriors on January 1th!

The strongest signings! "

The league's No. [-] team plus an All-Star?

What else to fight?

On the Internet, the fans are arguing again!

"Warriors fans: I thought the All-Star Game was in February!"

"So we should be honored to see four All-Stars on the same team!

The warriors are trembling! "

"Warriors' Thompson shows no fear!"

"The Thunder are starting their own tour from Golden State."

"Warriors fans: Damn it, what should have come has finally come."

"Cavs fans: This day came so fast."

"Raptors fans: Glad to hear this news, best of luck to all teams in 2020."

"Hahaha!

Then another All-Star joins the Thunder in the 2020 season? "

"No no no!

It was Zhou who brought KD back to the Blazers! "

"Uh... the Blazers' contract is about to blow up!
But the lineup of Lillard + Oladipo + Durant + Zhou + Jokic directly won all 82 games, okay! "

"Absolutely won all 82 games!
Who can beat them? "

"Okay, so the NBA season is only 10 days away.

Direct GG next season?

Let's fast forward to 2021! "

"I knew this day would come, why am I still so angry?"

"It's like the snapping of Thanos' fingers. We all want to stop it, but there is nothing we can do."

"Donovan: "Emmm...

I look at playing the Warriors, then let Cousins ​​come back to limit Love. "

"Thunder hates warriors like stone hammers."

"It's all because of KD."

"Lakers fans: We're going to be blown up!

It's a pity, we who have purple-gold blood don't allow ourselves to be bad! "

"Imagine Cousins ​​being able to guard the paint with Zhous on the defensive end or build a defensive net one inside and one outside.

The offensive end shoots low and doubles! "

"Fear him, run away from him, and Cousins ​​will still come back..."

……

The Thunder were going to meet Cousins ​​with a winning streak, but unexpectedly and reasonably, they suffered their fourth loss of the season.

It was the Thunder's home game against the Spurs on the 11th.

Before the game, although the old Spurs were in a good state this season and defeated strong opponents, not many were optimistic about them.

Unexpectedly, it was this silver-gray army that ended the Thunder's winning streak.

In fact, there are many reasons why the media are not optimistic about the Spurs besides the strength of the Thunder.

First of all, the Spurs, who had won six consecutive victories, did not perform well in the last game.

In the game against the Grizzlies, although the Spurs limited the Grizzlies' scoring to 96 points, they completely collapsed on the offensive end, and the team shot only 36.1%!

They only scored 11 points in the second quarter, and the Spurs only scored 26 points in the first half of the game, setting a new low in the half of the season.

In addition to the poor state of the Spurs team, there is another important reason why the media are not optimistic about the Spurs.

That is, they are really not good at playing back to back.

They are just 1-7 in the second game of back-to-backs this season.

The only good news is that the Spurs' record at home this season is not bad. Their current record at home is 18 wins and 4 losses.

However, this is the interesting thing about basketball. No matter how much you analyze, you never know what will happen if you don’t play.

After the opening, the Thunder seized the opportunity to take the lead, but Aldridge helped the Spurs overtake the score through consecutive singles.

In terms of stability and reticence, Ade is really similar to Duncan!

Then, although the Thunder continued to fight back, Belinelli on the Spurs' side scored three three-pointers that Popovich didn't like in a row, helping the Spurs take a 3-point lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Spurs came off the bench and soared three-pointers. After that, Zhou Si and Durant jointly launched a counterattack to narrow the point difference. The Thunder trailed the Spurs 63 to 70 in the first half.

In the second half, Aldridge made another effort to help the Spurs take a double-digit lead. Since then, the two sides have fallen into a stalemate, and the point difference has been around 10 points.

In the last quarter, as Zhou Si was overwhelmed in the interior, the Thunder slowly tied the score. Although Aldridge scored 10 points in a row at the critical moment, Zhou Si also made consecutive hits and chased after him. At the last moment, Zhou Si turned over and made a jumper to help The Thunder dragged the game into overtime.

However, what the two parties did not expect was that they...

It's not an overtime.

In the first overtime, the two sides chased each other and still tied.

In the second overtime, Aldridge continued to play bravely. Durant missed a key three-pointer on the Thunder team. In the end, the Spurs narrowly beat the Thunder 158 to 156!
