"Of course I think we're going to win tonight."

Kevin Durant was still confident in his pre-game interview with ESPN.

As the youngest scoring champion in history, even if the second and third brothers in the team are beaten by the Duke Dog, he can't lose the position. What's more, he originally thought that he was better and should become the third-ranked superstar in the NBA.

And in ESPN's pre-game predictions, they actually favor the Thunder to win by a narrow margin.

"In terms of the talent of these young teams in the league, I think the Thunder are the only ones who can take a slight lead over the Chicago Bulls. Their management has unearthed several cornerstone players in a row through precise draft vision, and has broken into the camp of the top half of the Western Conference at a rocket-like pace. ”

McBrin commented on Chicago before the game: "This season, Kevin Durant has strengthened his offensive ability with the ball, and he has no shortcomings on the offensive end, and he is becoming an all-time scorer. Westbrook's progress over the summer has been noticeable, with the World Championship gold boost to his confidence, whether it's his trademark stiff shot or straight points under the basket. ”

"Then there's James Harden, who has stepped up his European breakthrough this season and has gradually improved his grip from beyond the three-point line. Coupled with the newly developed tricks of cheating, he's getting closer and closer to his template. ”

"A year ago, many basketball fans were still very puzzled as to why James Harden's draft template was Ginobili. How could they be linked by a fat black man with thick hair and an emaciated white man with a bald head and early death? Maybe this video can give you some answers. ”

McBrin said with a smile, the director timely called James Harden to single Ginobili, the two fell to the ground after a small collision, and the superb performance made Tim Duncan stunned. This caused the whole studio to laugh, and in fact, the audience in front of the TV also leaned back and fell in laughter.

It can be said that the three young thunderers have their own characteristics.

Big brother Durant shoots accurately on the court, and his long hands and feet are like monsters, and his minions can easily tear apart the opponent's defense.

The second brother, Westbrook, has a strong ball style, a historical level of athleticism, and a straight-up, straight-down, zombie-like shot as if his whole body is a taut spring.

The third brother, James Harden, although he looks the most reckless, has the most slippery style of play, and is good at using the rules... This season has become a strong contender for the league's best sixth man.

In addition, there are Ibaka, Green, Collison and other elite generals. It currently sits in fourth place in the competitive West, behind the Spurs, Lakers and Mavericks. If the Thunder are placed in the East, they can now tie the Orlando Magic for second place in the East.

That's probably why Durant thinks the Bulls' record in the East is just that.

And Derrick Rose's injury is also considered to be a key factor in the outcome of the game, at least Bill Wharton emphasized the importance of Derrick Rose in his analysis, and he believes that Snoopy cannot lead the team alone against the Thunder with the trident. And he repeatedly stressed: "This is the multi-core era, and the old days when you could beat your opponent with just one superstar are gone." ”

His words really speak to the league trend. With Boston forming the Big Three of old-school stars and Miami holding the Big Three, it is inevitable that there will be more giant teams in the league in the future.

However, Reggie Miller has always insisted: "This game is a competition between the first players of the new generation, and I think Snoopy will beat Kevin Durant." Win or fail the game. ”

This made Bill Wharton laugh and joke: "Look, this is the argument of a hardcore Duke fan." ”

Backbite!

The whistle blew and the game began quickly.

When the Thunder shoot the starting lineups: Collison, Serge Ibaka, Sofrosa, Durant and Westbrook.

The starting lineup on the Bulls' side is: Joakina Noah, Boozer, Rohr Deng, Korver, Snoopy.

Syllable!

As soon as the whistle blew, Joakinoah jumped up and slapped the basketball to Snoopy, who didn't give face to Collison, a veteran of the class of '03.

Snoopy received the basketball and immediately rushed forward, and Westbrook quickly chased after it.

But now it's 5v5, not a pre-match 'one-on-two' game.

In that kind of confrontation, Westbrook's impact is superior. But when the two of them were in the official game, the power of the little duke was revealed.

When he made a quick change of direction in front of Westbrook, and the next second his footsteps landed on the left side of Westbrook, Westbrook quickly returned to the defense, but turned and crashed into Boozer...... Boozer is the Bulls' most keen player to cover Snoopy. Because... I can eat bread!

When the Younger Duke completed the lightning raid on Westbrook, Ibaka quickly switched his guard. The Daphne agency's standout defender is very good at defending breakaway guards, and he can force defenders to deform with his strong body, and then take them off when he goes to the basket.

But when he leaned over and tried to push Snoopy into the corner... Burst!

On the first impact, he was pushed half a step away by Snoopy.

At the same time, the young duke suddenly picked up the ball and took two steps into the air in the box, and Ibaka tried to chase it.

But after all, it was still a beat slower.

Snu spreads his wings with an eagle and soars into the sky, or like a hurricane passing through and the waves crashing against the rocks...... Rumble! A violent dunk slammed into the Oklahomanian's basket.

The enthusiasm of the United Center was ignited instantly, and the camera swept over, and countless fans wearing the number 10 jersey cheered. The old DJ at the scene shouted the name of the Duke in a rough voice amid the cheers in the sky.

"Now his style of play is getting more and more intense, and his influence is no longer a single female market. This quarter, his original sneaker sales data has caught up with Kevin Durant in North America, and the gap with Bryant is very small, if it continues to grow like this, it will even surpass LeBron James and become the king of North America! ”

The Adidas manager said nervously to Derek Rose next to him.

For Adidas, his ace star is on the same team as Snoopy in Nike's camp. It is both an opportunity and a challenge.

Previously, Duke Dog's style of play was unpretentious, more like a blue-collar player. So his signature shoes don't sell particularly well in North America, and male fans don't pay for them. And Derek has become the best-selling series of Adi brand basketball shoes because of his strong style of play and gorgeous playing style. At that time, they were very happy.

But now, with Snoopy's style of play changing dramatically this season, his sneaker sales figures have become the third in the North American market this quarter, surpassing not only Durant but also Rose's signature shoes.

This makes the Adi brand extremely anxious.

They even wanted Rose to make an early comeback as a way to salvage the momentum.

However, the Bulls did not accept the suggestion. Now that the Bulls' medical department is controlled by Timberlake, he will never let any player at risk of injury play, not even Snoopy...... In fact, he was also reused by the Bulls for successfully preventing Snoopy from playing, insisting that his hand-eye coordination had not recovered. And as Snoopy has become more and more physical, his status on the team has also risen, and Gary Foreman can't wait to kiss him every day when he sees him.

"Snoopy and I are teammates, not rivals."

Ross said to Ballmer impatiently, "Please don't stir up a wedge between us. ”

"It's not provocative, Derek. We just want you to get on the pitch as soon as possible and continue your style of play instead of following Snoopy's advice. He's your teammate, yes, but he's also the owner of the Duke brand. You know, we're competitive in business. Ballmer emphasized.

This made Rose shake his head speechlessly.

He didn't want to mix in these boring business competitions.

He was adamant in his heart that Snoopy was not the kind of person who would make insidious calculations for the sake of commercial gain.

In fact, his concern now is that Snoopy is getting too close to Westbrook.

Before the game, he sat in the VIP box above the arena and watched Snoopy and Hardenway play less, they were so happy, and I heard that they played black and Warcraft together last night, which made him quite anxious when he didn't know how to play online games.

And, just now. After Snoopy's slam dunk, he even turned around and high-fived Westbrook. Although, it looks like he's trash-talking to Westbrook.

But how can anyone laugh and talk trash talk?

is so happy, it's clearly 'flirting'!

Now in the third year of the '08 class, the player who has actually made a name for himself is already starting contract renewal negotiations. Snoopy's side is still unmoving, what if he follows James's peak huddle and goes to a certain team with Westbrook/Harden and Curry?

Rose looked anxious.

Kevin Durant hit a three-pointer on the court.

Rolle Deng is a proven defensive giant, but Durant is too difficult to defend, a guy who can play center in the current league with a height and an amazing arm span can still shoot so accurately, he is not a pervert Who is a pervert?

Looking back, Snoopy and Carlos Boozer completed the block, went deep under the basket to attract the defense, and then quickly returned the pass, Boozer received the basketball and shot easily...... Swish!

The basketball was caught.

Bingo！

Carlos threw his fist very excitedly, and then did not forget to shout at Kevin Durant: "You can never defeat Snoopy, there is only one man in this league who makes Scarlett swoon, and that is Snoopy...... Prevent!! ”

Boozer's sudden trash talk made Durant frown.

In fact, Snoopy is also confused.

Joaquin Noah next to him sighed with emotion: Mr. Boozer's sycophancy has improved again. We all know that we have saved the country by using our strength to fight the curve.

Noah suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

I can't let Boozer eat it alone, and I practiced mid-range shooting in the offseason. Although it is said that because I have been playing beach volleyball with supermodels for a long time, my shooting posture is more feminine than that of a woman, but the shooting rate is really not low.

At this thought, Joaquin Noah hurried to the front court and did his best on the defensive end. He knows that Snoopy likes players who are motivated and hardworking.

The comeback will definitely pay off.

When he tried his best to interfere with Westbrook's powerful dunk into a layup, and missed, Snoopy grabbed the rebound and pushed the counterattack, and immediately gave him a ground-hitting pass, and Noah received the basketball and volleyed it directly: after the defense interfered with Wei Shao's successful dunk, the offensive end once again succeeded in dunking Wei Shao's head.

When the cheers rang out, the excited Noah didn't forget to bow his head and complain about Wei Shao: "Russell, do you see it?" Height is the greatest talent God has ever given you! I stand in front of you like a father holding his son and looking at the sea. ”

Young Master Wei was quite unhappy when he said this, and muttered indignantly: "What are you dragging, Lao Tzu will call Noah if he gives birth to a son in the future!" ”

His broken thoughts made Snoopy shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking that Young Master Wei really would never give in, he was taken advantage of on the court, and he had to win it back in bed.

But... Noah is indeed a good name.

The game continues.

The two sides come and go, the score rises alternately, and no one can really contain anyone for a while.

The first quarter ended as Snoopy missed a buzzer-beating shot from beyond the three-point line.

The Thunder relied on Westbrook and Kevin Durant to temporarily lead the Bulls 31-30 in the first quarter.

Kevin Durant scored 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting in the first quarter, and his performance was beyond reproach, and no player on the Bulls could stop him, whether it was Rolle Deng or Ronnie Brewer later. Had it not been for Westbrook's two failed attempts to rush to the basket and multiple poor shot selections, the Thunder would have had a good chance of extending the score to double digits. ”

Bill Wharton opened his mouth in the commentary booth. Previously, during the commentary, he also criticized Westbrook vigorously, believing that his style of play was inefficient and did not pass the ball to the hot Durant.

"The Bulls' style of play is very reasonable, and Snoopy has shown his ability to defend and counter-attack as always. His six assists in the quarter were a testament to his playmaking talent, while he also grabbed three rebounds in the restricted area. Reggie Miller praised the little Duke's performance: "After this game, he will have a triple-double without surprise." ”

Subsequently, McBrin made a summary.

His summary is simple. Kevin Durant and Snoopy each played their own role, Snoopy remains the most versatile player on the roster, and Kevin Durant is also declaring himself a strong contender for the league's best scorer.

As for who is better, McBrin's opinion is: "Whoever can win this game will be the first person of the new generation!"

This statement is beyond reproach.

In each case, winning is everything!
