226 [Situation]
"The Oklahomans learned their lessons and understood that for a superstar, malicious personal attacks and racial discrimination cannot thwart his desire to fight, but will make him be full of fighting spirit and burst out with amazing energy."
"The Bayonet told everyone in the third game of the series that he was not a guy who was easily defeated, and when others offend him, he was not good at enduring humiliation and would make the most powerful fight back. Of course, all this was based on the premise that he had terrifying abilities."
In fact, the atmosphere at the Thunder's home court is as low as freezing point.
For home fans, for many consecutive seasons, this team always regressed from hope to despair. No season is the most promising year, but every season is the most promising year.
From the era of the Fourth Young Master of Thunder to the era of the Gemini, and then to the current new Gemini.
This team still seems to lack the most fundamental thing to want to win the championship.
That kind of thing should be the foundation of the championship.
It’s just that time has passed, and people know when that kind of thing will appear.
At least for now, it is not possible.
Therefore, for some fans, Xiao Zhan hopes that this team can be completely broken down.
It starts with the failure of this series this season.
Everything starts over.
This is a last resort choice.
Because this team, or the leader of this team, Russell Westbrook, has proved to everyone for many seasons that he is an excellent player, but not the team, the city's championship catalyst.
"The atmosphere of home freezing point gave us a message. All this is a bit tragic, but in fact, in the history of NBA, this kind of tragedy is really not uncommon. There is only one O'Brien Cup in each season, so some players are born winners, while some players are destined to be tragic throughout their careers."
When the game started, the bayonet fulfilled his comments before the game started. He would not be able to lead the entire series without any slackness.
On the contrary, he showed his desire to fight as always in the game.
People understand that in this case, there is only one way to give up the attack by the bayonet, that is, the Thunder immediately surrendered.
But in fact, this is not possible.
People don’t know why, when the whole series is over, Russell Westbrook has a strong desire to attack in this game.
He scored 16 points in the first quarter and led the Thunder to show his tenacious game style.
This makes people shine, but it also makes many people feel distressed about it.
"I don't know why, I always think this might be Russell Westbrook's last game with the Oklahoma Thunder, I don't know why, even my idea is a bit ridiculous, but in fact, it's really possible that it can happen."
Kenny Smith, who has never liked to joke, actually said such words at this time.
"Whether it's Russell Westbrook or Paul George, they have just completed a contract renewal with the Thunder, so I don't think this will happen. If the revelations after the last game are true, then I would rather believe that coach Donovan will be the one who left, because for the Thunder, even if the management is determined to rebuild, neither Russell Westbrook nor Paul George should be the part that can be traded."
Charles Barkley immediately made a different opinion.
From his perspective, at least for this stage, Russell Westbrook and Paul George are both non-sale products of the Thunder.
"This is not the point. The point is that once the bayonet leads the Dallas Mavericks to win the O'Brien Cup this summer, the situation in the entire league will change tremendously, and the current situation will be completely broken. At that time, in fact, any situation is indeed possible."
Shake O'Neal responded to Kenny Smith's point of view from another perspective. In his opinion, Kenny Smith's point of view is not impossible, because when the overall situation changes dramatically, the so-called impossible will not be really impossible.
"Since the Miami Heat's Big Three won the championship, whether it was the final outbreak of the San Antonio Spurs' GDP combination in the middle, the rise of the Golden State Warriors later, or the San Antonio Spurs' once again made a splash last season, in fact, the main theme of the league has not changed in the past decade, that is, the core configuration of the team winning the championship is the Big Three."
"In other words, establishing the core configuration of the three giants combination to win the championship has become a recognized fact, and it is also a very successful championship configuration."
"However, this recognized fact is being broken this season."
"Do you understand what I mean? The Bayonet is undoubtedly a superstar, but what about the entire Dallas Mavericks? As for this season, the regular season is fine. Once it comes to the playoffs, if there is no accidental return to the top of Cameron Anthony, I am actually not so optimistic about the team's prospects for winning the championship."
Shaq O'Neal continued.
He talked about a very core thing.
That is the championship configuration.
What he meant is that once the bayonet can lead the Dallas Mavericks to win the championship, the tradition of winning the championship that has lasted for nearly ten years will be broken.
Because judging from the Mavericks' playoffs to the current situation, this team is at best a double giant team.
"I won't say this is the Renaissance. Although it was also the core configuration of the two giants' championships in the early 21st century, it was different. It was still two modes. It was not something that could be clearly stated in one or two sentences. But one thing I still have to emphasize is that once the Dallas Mavericks can really win the championship, the situation in the league will definitely undergo a huge change this summer."
Shaq O'Neal looks very confident in his judgment.
On the court, when the second quarter was over, the score was unexpectedly not widened. On the contrary, when Russell Westbrook unexpectedly ran away, the Thunder, who played at home, had a 5-point lead before the halftime.
This is a surprise for those who are following this game, because the Thunder never took the lead after the first two quarters.
"This will give more or less suspense in this game, but that's all. At least I don't think it's a bad situation for the Dallas Mavericks. As I said, there is a gap in overall strength between the two teams, and this gap will be more obvious in the whole game."
Chapter completed!
