"Don has three more pairs! 9th consecutive triple-double! Equals Chamberlain's record of consecutive triple-doubles! ”

"What's so strange about this, Don is now equal to a triple-double + win, if you tell me that Don didn't get a triple-double one day, that's the news!"

"It makes sense, I used to think it was difficult to have three pairs, but this is really easy when it comes to Tang!"

"This is probably the legendary ease! If I were the Pelicans' opponent, I wouldn't have to win, just find a way to stop Don from getting a triple-double! ”

"It's easy to say, it's impossible to stop Don, you can only limit him, and you can even only pray that he doesn't feel good, and Whiteside is a lesson from the past!"

"Speaking of Whiteside, the Pelicans seem to be playing the Thunder in the next game, right? According to him, this is a duel between two 'brushes'? ”

"If you don't say that I didn't pay much attention, Don is going to play Westbrook this time! A head-to-head between two players who average a triple-double per game! ”

"Breaking a back-to-back triple-double record above the head of a player averaging a triple-double per game? It sounds a bit tongue-inting, but it's exciting! ”

"Westbrook certainly doesn't want to! He cares about this! He'll show the state of the warrior before! ”

……

The Pelicans and Thunder game was three days later, and before that, the Thunder had a home game against the Magic.

The Magic are currently second to last in the West and have long since dropped out of playoff contention, but they have been in good form lately, winning three of their five games.

That was also evident in the first half, when they led the Thunder 49-44 at halftime.

Both teams had average hands, but Westbrook still had 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the half.

By the end of the second half, Westbrook's shooting percentage dropped, and the Thunder scored only 16 points in a single quarter, while the Magic fired 28 points across the board, and had a 17-point lead by the end of the third quarter.

Seeing that the Thunder were about to lose, it was Westbrook who stepped up, scoring 22 points in a single quarter, and made a steal before the end, throwing in a chase three-pointer to tie the score, and the two teams went into overtime.

By the end of the fourth quarter, Westbrook had 53 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

The two teams played an equal regular season, but no one expected that the overtime would be completed as a one-man performance for Westbrook.

He came up and sent two assists in a row to play a wave of 4-0, and he also managed to get a 50+ triple-double.

After that, he scored four points in a row to extend the lead to eight points.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and fans are looking forward to Westbrook being able to impact the 60+ triple-double that Tang Tian has just set.

But it's a pity that the Magic didn't want to be a backdrop like the Cavaliers, and they defended hard in the end, and Westbrook couldn't make consecutive shots.

In the end, the Thunder played a 10-0 overtime game to beat the Magic 112-102.

Westbrook's stats were fixed at 57 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.

He failed to tie or break Tang Tian's 60+ triple-double, but the triple-double of 57 points was also terrifying.

And he shot 21 of 42 in this game, with a shooting rate of 50%, which is nearly 8 percentage points higher than the season shooting rate.

Of course, more importantly, he led the team to complete a 17-point comeback.

It was undoubtedly the best fight of his career.

The game was played vigorously, and there was a lot of discussion on social media after the game.

"50+ triple-doubles for two people in one season! It's insane! ”

"I feel more and more that Whiteside is really bad in the brain, Don and Westbrook's triple-double shooting rate is over 5 percent, god brush!"

"I think Westbrook must have been spurred on by Don's back-to-back triple-doubles, and I can see that he's really cared about that this season!"

"If you care about it, if you care, you can score a triple-double of 57 points, so you can't blow up in a direct confrontation?!"

"I'm afraid that this next game is really going to be Mars touching the Earth!"

……

The fans were talking, and the media did not miss the excitement.

"True and false triple kings."

FOX Sports makes a lot of saliva with just one news headline.

The stylistic flowering of Journey to the West has not yet begun, but they first brought out the real and false Monkey King in Journey to the West.

However, such a title is indeed ruthless enough, and anyone with a discerning eye knows at a glance that if you have to distinguish between truth and falsehood, Tang Tian must be true, and the fake is naturally Westbrook.

After all, the two teams are now in a position to record.

To put it bluntly, one is a triple-double that can win, and the other is a triple-double that can't.

Such news headlines are the usual style of FOX and completely provoke the saliva of fans on both sides.

Perhaps because there was too much saliva, the Thunder's training on game day was not open to the public.

After the training session, the players rested in the locker room.

Westbrook's expression looked serious all the time.

He has a good relationship with Tang Tian, but these descriptions and reports from the media make him very unhappy.

"Russell, you're real."

Adams, who was on the side, saw his expression and spoke.

Westbrook heard this and turned to look at him.

"Tonight you will prove that you are real."

Adams repeated.

Westbrook's otherwise serious expression suddenly smiled.

Durant's departure has turned him paranoid and a stats maniac, and he needs to average a triple-double per game to prove that the last thing Thunder management has left is the most worthwhile.

But some games, he won't do that, like he used to fight the Warriors, he just wanted to win.

There is now a pair of pelicans.

On the one hand, there is this kind of media momentum, once he loses, he will be confirmed with a fake identity.

On the other hand, and more importantly, if the Thunder end up making the playoffs, the first round opponent is likely to be the Pelicans.

If they can win the game in front of them, then they will have a big psychological advantage when they really challenge the Pelicans as challengers.

"Yes, I am."

He smiled and nodded.

That night, the Thunder and Pelicans game kicked off at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The attendance was full.

The direct duel between the two triple-double kings of the alliance is the night of whether Tang Tian can break the record of consecutive triple-doubles.

There is a gap in the quality of the two teams, but the excitement of the game will not be bad.

During the pre-game warm-up, Tang Tian and Westbrook greeted each other in the center of the field.

The two met three years ago, and the relationship between the three All-Star Game was better than the year, although they were not as close as the hard brothers, they were also good friends.

This greeting is routine.

However, the photographer at the scene was very good at creating an atmosphere, and after the two said hello, he began to cut the shots non-stop.

The emotions of the fans at the scene were hung to the fullest.

Obviously, Tang Tian and Westbrook are the protagonists of tonight.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started one after another.

The Pelicans, on their side, are the regular lineup.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook and Oladipo on the perimeter, Roberson and Sabonis on the front, and Adams at center.

At this time, the on-site photographer gave Tang Tian and Westbrook slitting shots.

Tang Tian was calm and calm, and Westbrook was serious.

In the cheers of many fans at the scene, the "identification" of the real and fake Monkey King began immediately.
