Chapter 876 Durant Returns to Oklahoma

The so-called invisible pretense refers to pretense that is not intentional.

Tang Tian really didn't do it on purpose.

Because the Pelicans won consecutive games in November, as of the day before Thanksgiving, they had won 16 consecutive games without losing!

They also overtook the Warriors with a record of 15 wins and 1 loss and reached the top of the Western Conference!

Deron was in a sluggish state, and Brog stepped up. After the latter entered the rotation, he steadily contributed 8.6 points and 2.6 assists per game, and his three-point shooting rate reached 43%!

Stephenson was injured, and Joe Harris took over. Although the latter didn't score much, he also shot 41% from three-pointers!

As the game progressed, Ariza gradually regained his form and returned to the starting lineup!

The lineup is constantly changing, but what remains unchanged is victory!

While showing the terrifying depth of the lineup, the Pelicans are also proving what Tang Tian said, they are just doing what a defending champion should do!

The Pelicans don’t have a game on Thanksgiving Day.

However, there is a game that attracts much attention on this day. The two teams are the Warriors and Thunder.

The two teams that get the most attention this season are the Pelicans and the Warriors, but the two players that get the most attention are Tang Tian and Westbrook.

Tang Tian averaged a triple-double in the first week of the season. Although the data was later dropped due to three-quarter check-ins, his current near-triple-double data of 30.2 points, 9.3 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game are also quite dazzling.

And Westbrook is averaging a triple-double so far!

Averaged 31.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game!

Although his shooting percentage of 42.5% is low and his record of 9 wins and 7 losses is average, it does not hinder his dazzling statistics!

This is a standard triple-double per game!

After Harden, Durant, and Ibaka all left the team one after another, only Westbrook was left among the Thunder's four young players.

And because of Durant's departure, Westbrook became a little extreme, chasing a triple-double every night.

His idea coincides with the advice Jordan gave Tang Tian. The only difference is that one can win, but the other may not.

Because Westbrook averages 9 backcourt rebounds per game, while the Thunder's starting insiders Adams and Sabonis only have 7.2 combined, the term "Car forward" is officially known to fans.

Westbrook has also changed from a competitive player to a controversial star.

Those who support him say that he performed at the peak of his career after leading the team alone, while those who are not interested in him say that he is a standard triple-double.

The controversy will have no outcome, but the game between the Warriors and Thunder has attracted much attention.

Because this is the first time Durant has returned to Oklahoma City after leaving the Thunder to join the Warriors!

And, this game is on Thanksgiving Day!

The alliance is really good at shaping topics.

This game was so hyped before the game that Tang Tian also took Davis to his manor to train and watch the game on offseason days.

Seeing Davis appear in his manor with a mohawk on his head, Tang Tian almost fell to the ground laughing.

As Davis's personality gradually turned extroverted, Tang Tian's private relationship with Davis became closer.

Of course, more importantly, he saw the shadow of himself and Duncan in Davis.

At first, he changed his hairstyle to avoid Duncan's touch on the head, and now Davis also changed his hairstyle to avoid his touch!

The two people were holding two buckets of popcorn in the living room, watching the game live like a movie.

After Durant left, the Thunder made a deal to send Ibaka away and exchanged the second-place pick Oladipo from the Magic for the gradually improving situation.

The current Thunder is a team of two people, plus Kanter and Adams.

The Thunder are now as strong as they are ninth in the Western Conference. They have withdrawn from the championship and are working hard for the playoffs.

The Warriors are the standard favorite to win the championship, and there is a gap in strength between the two teams.

However, after the game started, the reaction was different from the strength.

Westbrook suddenly no longer wanted a triple-double. His eyes were red and murderous, and he just wanted to win.

On the other side, Durant may feel guilty, and his shooting performance was very poor.

Although Curry and Thompson performed well, the Thunder team was holding their breath and wasted their lives.

Oladipo scored 20 points in three quarters, Adams had seven frontcourt rebounds in three quarters, and Sabonis had four three-pointers in three quarters...

At the end of the three quarters, the Thunder and Warriors were tied at 80!

It has to be said that the strength of competitive sports is not absolute. The influence of some off-field factors is likely to directly determine the outcome of the game.

After all, this is a game, not a series. Just like the Olympics, the chance of an upset in a single game is very high.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Thunder, led by Westbrook, beat the Warriors 12-2, suddenly gaining a double-digit lead!

And Cole, as usual, did not call a timeout except to replace the main force.

The Warriors were unable to catch up with the score, and the balance of victory began to tilt infinitely towards the Thunder.

In adversity, Green kept roaring at Durant off the court. This approach finally inspired Durant's fighting spirit.

Durant began to enter death mode, facing Robertson's continuous unreasonable three-point shooting.

Under his leadership, the Warriors began to chase points frantically, and finally tied the score at 110 one minute before the end.

At the critical moment, Westbrook rushed into the paint with confidence that he would kill, and after confronting Durant, he scored 2+1, directly igniting the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Just after the referee's whistle sounded, uniform shouts of "traitor" rang out from the scene.

This sentence, which was originally tweeted by Durant himself and later mentioned by Tang Tian on Twitter, was finally returned to Durant by the fans.

But it's a pity that Westbrook's extra penalty missed.

Looking back, there was a controversial scene on the court.

Curry missed the three-pointer at the buzzer. After grabbing the offensive rebound, Green had a physical confrontation with Adams and lost control of his body weight and took two steps.

But the referee did not blow the whistle. After Green regained his footing, he passed the ball to Durant, who made a direct three-pointer to help the Warriors take the lead.

The scene was filled with boos, and Thunder coach Donovan roared angrily on the sidelines.

But the referee did not change the penalty, and after the whistle was blown, they would not change it according to the rules.

With less than 5 seconds left in the game, Durant's quasi-kill almost killed the game.

Moreover, the Thunder's previous stalemate with the Warriors had already used up the timeout, so they could only serve from the backcourt.

Westbrook caught the ball in the backcourt and ran wildly. He rushed to the three-point line in the frontcourt and ran out of time. He took a super long three-pointer against Thompson.

This was a very difficult shot, and the red light came on after the ball was shot, and the Thunder had no other chance.

"Uh-huh!"

But the ball was thrown in, and the entire arena was instantly ignited.

Westbrook defeated the Warriors!
