On the morning of the Thunder, the Lakers signed free agent Carman with a one-year salary to supplement the now weak interior line. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Carman played for the Mavericks last season, averaging 10 points and 5 rebounds per game, and his strength is still there, but he cracked the metacarpal bone in his left foot near the end of last season, which led to the season reimbursement, and he did not find a job this season and has been staying at home in Los Angeles.

Carman was selected as an All-Star in the Clippers, played in Los Angeles for seven or eight years, he just wanted to find a job in Los Angeles, the Clippers and the Lakers did not sign him, so he has been idle, and immediately after signing with the Lakers, he had a physical examination, the league estimated that he didn't want the Lakers and the Thunder to play too ugly, seeing that the Lakers wanted to sign someone, he passed the signing application very quickly, and Carman flew to Oklahoma at noon, and rushed to the Pizza Chek Energy Center during the warm-up.

"We're going to win, I always believe in our quality and my teammates, do you believe in yourself?"

Before the start of the game with the Thunder, Liu Ren gathered his teammates together and said very confidently.

Liu Ren's current thinking is that no matter other factors, if he feels that he can't win, then he can't win, anything is possible, why not fight, why do you feel sorry for yourself?

If a teammate is injured, it is injured, and complaining can't be changed, since this is the case, it is better to play well, everything is more important than the performance on the field.

Liu's optimistic mindset has affected his teammates, Thackeray and Nick Young are originally optimists.

Nick Young responded: "Of course, we're going to win, I'm going to kick the Goose City guys in the ass!" ”

"That's right, Uncle Thackeray is going to play today, kick them in the ass hard, it feels great to start!" Thackeray got 8 points, 7 rebounds and a miraculous 4 assists in the last start, which was eye-catching, this guy doesn't seem to be just swinging a towel, the standard big center physique, although the athleticism is a little worse, but the flexibility is very strong, and the hands are good.

"It's a pity, Robert, the coach asked me to start today, you better play me as a substitute, I'll help you kick their ass, you go and kick the substitute's ass." Whiteside said in a calm tone that no matter what he encountered now, he would not put in a little more effort just like his actions on the court.

"Don't be like this, uncle, I finally started once......" Thackeray cried bitterly, holding his head.

"Hahaha......" everyone else laughed, and the dark clouds hanging over the heads of the Lakers seemed to be swept away.

"Hassan, you're going to start, are you ready?" Liu Ren patted Whiteside on the shoulder and asked.

Whiteside shrugged: "There is no difference between starting and coming off the bench for me, I'll grab all the rebounds, you guys can shoot with confidence!" ”

That's what you want!

When Whiteside was on the court, Liu Ren was most at ease, and there was such an inside monster, which was properly reassuring.

……

Stepping into the arena of the Pizza Chek Energy Arena, Liu Ren felt a very different feeling from Staples, the entire stadium was filled with blue atmosphere, and almost all 20,000 people wore T-shirts of the Thunder team, and the loyalty of fans in small cities was vividly reflected.

Liu Ren, when they played, everyone shouted beatLA, just like in the playoffs two years ago!

The Lakers will definitely not experience those miserable three years this time, the Lakers in the eyes of the fans are still the same Lakers, and Thunder fans are very eager to beat the Lakers!

Liu Ren is very sure that he will not let his team be so miserable, not to mention that now the Lakers have a very talented core lineup, and it is impossible to follow the old path of the Lakers in his previous life!

When it came time for the home team to play with the Thunder, the whole stadium cheered loudly, from Westbrook to Sefrosa to Perkins to Ibaka, and finally to Durant, the cheers of the fans at the Pizza Chek Energy Arena reached its peak.

Entering the pre-game preparation stage, the NBA is an entertainment league, the game is the highlight, and there are many other places to play, and today there is a small event before the game, a marriage proposal ceremony for an injured and disabled military member.

The heroine is not beautiful, very ordinary, but she is the love of the soldier, and in the heroine's surprise tears, the fans cheered and applauded.

During the show, the Thunder duo Durant and Westbrook found Liu Ren.

"Hey, Liu, you've played well this year, especially you." Durant was the first to speak.

Durant has a hard time talking to the media, and his relationship with the media has not been good, but he has a good relationship with Kobe Bryant and is still more polite to Lakers players.

However, this is not the case with Westbrook, there are several people in the league who are very similar to the young Kobe Bryant's personality, except for Lillard, the most similar is Westbrook.

Westbrook picked up on Durant's words and said, "Yes, you guys did a great job, but that's because they didn't meet us, and we won today. ”

Liu Ren wanted to follow Durant's words politely, such as complimenting Durant, who should win the MVP this year, but after Westbrook took over the conversation, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

But Liu Ren is a person who is afraid of things?

"You won the victory? Sorry, we are the number one in the West, and we will be the number one in the West after today. Liu Ren unceremoniously shot back at Westbrook.

Then Liu Ren turned his head to Durant and said: "Kevin, I think you will definitely win the MVP this year, I think you are probably the best player in the world, do you want to come to Los Angeles?" Let's win the championship together! ”

The atmosphere became more awkward, and Durant felt very comfortable listening to Liu Ren's words, but could he say this in front of Westbrook? He knows that his teammate is already moving towards the boss position, but the relationship between the two is really good, he is a striker who has a certain ability to hold the ball but mainly attacks without the ball, Westbrook is a ball dominant defender who needs a lot of ball, one of the two can attract the defense to create space for teammates to break through, and the other can break through the attraction bag to create empty opportunities for teammates, and the two have a high degree of fit.

So although Westbrook's actions on the court are like fighting for the power of the boss, the two have a good relationship in private because of the non-conflict style of play.

"OK, I'll wait and see who is the number one in the West after tonight!" Westbrook pulled Durant and left.

Durant could only give Liu Ren an apologetic look.

The star with a tough personality is very popular with fans, but he is hated by his peers, Liu Ren can be regarded as understanding, compared to his personality after a few years of working boy, his personality is much more sleek.

However, Westbrook's words gave Liu Ren another reason to win this game!

The Spurs began to rotate in the second month, their first month schedule was sweet, but the second month was very tight, Popovich has always maintained the habit of abusing vegetables in the regular season and making efforts in the playoffs, losing games against the Grizzlies and Clippers, and the record has become 16-4 like the Lakers, tied for the first place in the league with the Lakers and Pacers.
