v1 Chapter 261: X factor (four / five)
The locker room was silent for a while.
"All come with me to the recording room."
In the end, Brooks broke the atmosphere.
The players stood up one after another.
Westbrook went to raise Durantra now too.
After a short conflict within the team, this returned to calm.
In the video room, Brooks began psychological education for the team members.
The effect can be seen from the players' faces.
He is good at rookie training. This kind of chicken soup is obviously inferior to those of Doug Rivers.
After psychological education, the team members are preparing to go back one after another.
"Hey, James."
Before Harden left, Westbrook called out to him.
"I think you need to sit down and talk to Kevin."
Westbrook continued.
"Kevin made you come?"
Harden asked.
Westbrook shook his head.
Harden smiled helplessly.
"I think you need to sit down and talk to him. We must be united if we want to win."
Westbrook continued.
"Russell, do you think the problem is really with me?"
Harden looked at Westbrook seriously, then spoke.
Westbrook froze.
Before he could turn around, Harden had turned and left.
"James!"
Westbrook shouted again, and Harden put on his hood without looking back, and disappeared directly from the end of the passage.
The Spurs won the first game, the team morale is very good.
Popovich is also in a good mood, and these days have only arranged daily shooting and defensive training.
You know that Durant hasn't won so many points, and the Spurs have a great advantage in the series.
Three days passed quickly.
On May 29, the Thunder and the Spurs West decided to continue the second game at the ATT Arena at home.
Locker room before the game.
"Don, are you going to spit Durant again tonight?" Dior asked Tang Tian as he changed his clothes.
His remarks drew a laugh from other roommates.
This stalk has recently become more popular than bath water.
"He will adjust."
Tang Tian said seriously.
Although he knows that Durant is not a real death now, he is already a superstar in the league.
Superstars are very capable of self-adjustment.
And Durant wants to win.
The night of the game was still very much watched, and the TNT Big Three all came to the sidelines.
The heat of the first game of the Western Conference was unexpected, and this game was also well watched.
But after the game started, everyone was stunned.
Not the Spurs.
The Spurs played almost the same as they played. The only change is that Tang Tian didn't make a lot of shots.
What brought this change was the changes of the Thunder.
Kevin Durant.
This season's scoring leader, the league's second small forward scored 41 points in the last game, this game 0 shots in the first half!
All his energy was devoted to defending Tang Tian!
Even if Westbrook and Brooks persuade him, he just won't do it!
As a result, the Thunder were 15 points behind the Spurs at halftime!
During the intermission, Brooks and Durant were chatting alone.
Harden was there to talk to Perkins aside.
Westbrook saw the scene and suddenly realized that the problem might really be with his good brother.
Back in the second half, Durant still didn't do much.
The game of death has become unstoppable.
The Thunder finally defeated the Spurs 91-109, trailing 0-2 in the series.
This game played completely differently than everyone expected.
Even Tang Tian was embarrassed. He wanted the Thunder and Durant to make adjustments, but he would not think of such adjustments if he wanted to break his head!
After the game, fans also fry on social media.
"Durant stop bathing ?! Why did you suddenly give up?"
"Maybe he finally realized that the bath water was not delicious."
"I think there is something wrong with the Thunder. The Thunder all shot in Westbrook. He made 35 shots by himself."
"Really, Harden only made 10 or fewer shots in this game. What happened?"
"I was so excited as a stab. Is this going to lie in the finals?"
"Popovich: I haven't worked hard yet, you have fallen."
...
Outside speculation is not groundless, the Thunder are really at stake.
Even this situation is not controlled by head coach Brooks.
After the first two games of the Western Conference, the Thunder also flew back to Oklahoma City.
The next two games of the series will be played at the Thunder's home.
The Thunder returned home and Brooks arranged daily shooting training.
Harden and Durant are still not looking at anyone.
After training, Harden left early.
Westbrook called Durant to the bathroom alone.
"Kevin, don't hold your breath anymore, do you want to watch our efforts for the season just because this ends here?"
Like Harden, and more directly, Westbrook has a much more outgoing personality than Harden.
But Durant was not angry. Harden was just a teammate for him, but Westbrook was his friend.
"We need Kevin Durant, the Durant who will score, and the Durant who will lead the team."
Westbrook said, and stretched out Durant's chest.
Durant didn't speak, but nodded.
The same thing depends on who says it.
Harden said it was useless, Brooks said it was useless, but Westbrook said that Durant could listen.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that if he continued to fight like this, he would lose more than the peak of life at his fingertips.
And their efforts for one season, and even the future of this team.
"That's right!"
Seeing Durant's head turned, Westbrook showed a smile on his face and walked out against Durant's shoulder.
Brooks' pressure of 0 to 2 left him under great pressure. After studying in the office for a long time, he walked out with a briefcase.
As he walked through the bathroom, he froze when he saw Westbrook and Durant hugging each other.
What are they both?
But I saw a smile on Durant's face ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ I was relieved.
It seems that the next game, the team should not be so passive.
The third game of the Western Conference started at Pisacek Energy Arena.
Although the 0-2 situation is behind, and although the team looks a little bit volatile, the enthusiasm of the fans in Russia has not diminished.
This small city team has a very solid fan base.
The Pisacek Energy Arena's attendance was bursting. The fans held up four KT boards, and the atmosphere was extremely strong.
When the Thunder team members came out, there was a cheer.
What makes them even more excited is that Westbrook took Durant's arm with his left hand and Harden's shoulder with his right hand. The three came out laughing and laughing!
