Chapter 926 The Third Type of Forward

The Bulls' winning streak lasted [-] games, ending with the mighty Golden State Warriors.

Before the game, the bulls with strong momentum were highly anticipated, but as soon as the game started, the expectations of the outside world became "what thirteen consecutive victories? That's all."

The Warriors chopped them off like vegetables.

This night, the tsunami brothers composed of Curry, Durant, and Thompson scored 81 points together.

At the beginning of the season, the Warriors lost consecutive games due to running-in reasons, but the obvious talent quickly allowed them to regain their strength.

The biggest advantage of having an unrivaled championship lineup is that it can attract veterans who aspire to win the championship with a reduced salary to join.

So, David West and Zaza Pachulia are the dark phoenixes that the Golden State sycamore tree has attracted this summer.

The two veteran players each played a role in the game, and the Bulls did not regard this game as a must-win battle. Bai Jidong only played 26 minutes.

The end of the winning streak looks very frustrating, and Bulls coach Hoiberg does not regard this as a bad thing.

"The pressure of the winning streak is too heavy, and it binds everyone's hands and feet. This defeat came just right, and we need it." Hoiberg said.

In mid-December, the Timberwolves played an away game against the Thunder, which is known as one person, one city.

The Thunder defeated the Spurs last season and almost kicked the Warriors into the abyss in the Western Conference Finals. They only almost succeeded.

If they make it to the Finals, maybe Durant won't leave.

But there are not so many ifs in life, and it just happened. Westbrook and Durant, the contemporary combination of Wang Bo, disbanded, leaving Westbrook alone to guard Oklahoma City.

If you regard the road to the championship as a math problem, and most stars in this era will adopt the first solution, which is more convenient, fast and simple, then you will understand, come up with the second solution How precious is the person who made the plan.

This is why many people understand but hate Durant's decision, but admire and respect Westbrook's choice very much.

On the day of the Thunder's opening game, Westbrook handed over a data sheet with 32 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists.

For Westbrook this season, the outside world is full of expectations for him, MVP, averaging a triple-double, without Durant, he should complete a staggering blowout in terms of personal data, which is enough for him to be in people's hearts" Megatron" image.

Westbrook's triple-double record is still going on, but Bai Jidong doesn't like his playing style.

"Did you see it? "Oselle Robbbrook" is winking at you." Bai Jidong suddenly attacked Rondo.

Rondo just concentrates on shooting. He is the kind of terminally ill patient who "can't shoot in his life".

"Rajon, if I were you, I would have given up a long time ago." Bai Jidong never advocated giving up, but if someone worked hard for something for more than ten years, from the age of 19 to the age of 30 If it still doesn't work, it's better to wash up and sleep, don't waste time.

Your time is very precious, don't waste it on such rubbish things.

"Russell is about to score a triple-double on your head, are you still so excited?" Rondo gave Bai Jidong a contemptuous look.

Bai Jidong said confidently: "On my head? Impossible. I will end his consecutive triple-double record tonight."

As of tonight, Westbrook has won a triple-double in seven consecutive games.

It is an exaggeration to say that if Westbrook didn't get a triple-double in the game now, it would almost be a news headline.

The Thunder's seven-game winning streak, Westbrook's seven consecutive triple-doubles.

This summer, after Durant announced that he would leave the Thunder to join the Warriors, the eyes of the world turned to Westbrook, expecting him to express his opinion on this matter, and some voices of speculation pointed to the superstar.

However, Westbrook didn't talk, didn't give the media room to play, and let the fans wait in vain. Even if Durant has been trying to close the relationship, he has arranged the schedule according to his own way.

The media who lost a topic that could be crazily hyped and the people who eat melons shifted the focus of Westbrook's attention to "loyalty".

As a result, Westbrook and the Thunder signed a three-year extension to suppress these nasty voices.

Before the game started, Westbrook walked up to Bai Jidong and said, "You guys will lose tonight."

"Winning or losing is not important, the important thing is not to let you get a triple-double, you just wait and see." Bai Jidong specifically told Butu, "Pay more attention to their defensive rebounds, and don't let Oserl hit the defensive rebounds."

"Uncle Wolf, who is Oser?"

Bai Jidong put his arms around his waist, young people nowadays really don't understand humor less and less, don't you understand?
"He means that even if other Thunder players get rebounds, Russell can't get rebounds." Rondo added.

Only then did Butu understand, "So that's the case, don't worry, I know it well."

New Zealand's giant Adams set aside the ball for the Thunder, and Westbrook was determined to give the Timberwolves a shot.

Bai Jidong had just settled down, and was about to find an opportunity to help Rondo double-team Westbrook, when Rondo's defense lost his position.

That's Rondo, and he was passed in one step.

His breakthrough has the charm of the peak Rose, and he seems to be in no one's land in the flickering, but he has his own distinctive characteristics.

Butu's defense was in place, but failed to defend.

From Westbrook's breakthrough, we can see a bit of Wade's style at the peak. Even if there are two defenders blocking the way in front of him, he can still open up a huge space and score with difficulty.

"The young people nowadays can fly, can you still keep up with them?" Wade looked at Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong said, "This is a serious issue."

"It seems that you are not confident." Wade laughed.

It's not that he lacks confidence, it's that Bai Jidong doesn't think Westbrook can eat him up in one go.

Yes, Westbrook's instant explosive power is indeed amazing, and the moment of activation may be faster than everyone's reaction.

That kind of starting speed can give him the upper hand. If the defender's footsteps are slow, the defense will be broken all at once.

Bai Jidong is not that kind of defender. He is indeed old, and his defensive steps are not as fast as when he was young, but the decline in speed is relative to himself, and it is still very fast in the eyes of others.

Moreover, more than 30 years of experience are not in vain. His skills, his reactions, and his confrontation are beyond the imagination of a defender like Westbrook who is on fire.

As soon as it came to the offensive end, the Bulls became active.

Bai Jidong set a screen for Wade, handed over the high post to Rondo, and then passed the high post layout.

The effect of covering Wade was revealed. Butu lobbed to the basket and assisted Wade to score a layup.

After that, it was Westbrook, who was the engine and end point of the Thunder.

After Butu was transferred out, only Tai Gibson was left under the basket.

Westbrook will never let go of this opportunity, striding in like lightning, jumping up and dunking.

Westbrook's dunks are particularly reminiscent of James. That kind of powerful and aggressive domineering has extraordinary charm. At the same time, because of his different body shape, he can make a more stretched and elegant flight.

"This is Westbrook, he is such a powerful guard, he has enough talent, and he has the opportunity to realize it on the court!"

Bai Jidong shook his hair, "My soft hair alone is enough to envy Mike for a lifetime."

"Why did you mention Michael all of a sudden?" Wade asked.

Bai Jidong said: "Mike said a while ago that the current player Riocell is the most like him, this is simply nonsense!"

"Everyone has their likes and dislikes."

"You are wrong. Mike is no longer the Mike who dared to say to the team owner, "If you have no money, you should sell the team". He is now a vampire and a snobbish businessman. Do you understand?" Bai Jidong slandered Jordan in front of Wade.

Probably he didn't know, Wade once said: Michael is my second father.

"OK, fine." Wade was noncommittal.

"What is OK? I'm telling you very seriously. Be serious." Bai Jidong chased Wade's butt and muttered non-stop.

Wade was extremely irritable, "White Wolf, we are playing."

"All right…"

"Bonu, what is the white wolf doing? He should be moving, should be doing other things, why is he chatting with Dwayne all the time?" Hoiberg asked.

What should Vashabek say?Said that he often did this in the Timberwolves, because he forgot to play the game because of the chat?No, the young people here are all his fans, so you can't tell them this thing that will damage his image.

"Maybe they are discussing the tactics of this round." The honest Vashabek has also learned to tell lies.

What happened later was a bit embarrassing. Bai Jidong and Wade "discussed" for a long time, so that the time of running tactics was wasted, and Wade finally played singles with the ball.

"They discussed this for a long time, and they came up with this?" Hoiberg's face turned black.

Vashabek didn't know how to explain it, and now the situation was beyond his control.

Wade's shots are solid and his rebounds are high.

Butu wanted to grab a rebound, but was blocked by the combination of Adams and Sabonis Jr.

Although Westbrook is also in the penalty area, Adams' position can take the rebound as long as he reaches out.

As a result, he didn't take it, allowing Westbrook to jump up and snatch the rebound in front of him.

At that moment, Bai Jidong's mouth grew bigger than Wang Dalu's, and his eyes stared scarier than Brother Octopus.

"Snapped!"

Bai Jidong raised his hand and slapped him. The foul stopped Westbrook's counterattack.

Then give Adams and others a thumbs up, "Good job! You are all good job!"

"Uncle Wolf, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I'm really old."

"It turns out that in addition to power forwards and small forwards on the basketball court, there is also a type of forward called a card forward."
