Vol 3 Chapter 326: 1 cut is just beginning

The Chesapeake Energy Arena floated ribbons, and everyone was ecstatic for the Thunder's Western Conference championship this night. We have been looking forward to this result for many years!
As losers' warriors, they are very uncomfortable. Last season they won 73 wins and were full of spirits, but they lost the finals. Last season, Durant joined the Warriors, once again reached the finals, and cleanly defeated the old rival Warriors. With a team of champion warriors and the league's strongest scorer, this lineup is enough to establish a new dynasty. Everyone thinks this way, even themselves!
But the truth is cruel. Not to mention the establishment of a dynasty, now there is no chance to defend the title!
Cole sat on the bench with a wry smile. He didn't expect the game to become like this. In the first half, his team was vigorous and always dominated the game. Although in the third quarter, the opponent's strong offense fell under the wind, but in the last quarter they have been clinging to the score. But that few points, like a moat, they have not turned over.
Next, he should take a good look at it and explain how to give everyone an explanation! If you lose the game, someone has to stand up and take responsibility. There are many problems in the Warriors, but the biggest problem is that he didn't use these people well. Although it is not a "pattered hand of natural cards", it is an indisputable fact that he did not play well.
Except for Cole, Curry is definitely the one with the most responsibility. As the team's head star, he really did not play well in this series. Under the "care" of Robertson and An Luo, he rarely performed brilliantly. The booming Curry two seasons ago seems to have become a thing of the past. Of course, this has a lot to do with Cole's formation. But more important is his own state. Curry seems to have lost the spirit of being an enemy of the world! He has not been able to play his role as the core of the team, even at the most critical moment, he dare not make a move. In this playoffs, Curry's consecutive key misses have taken a huge blow to his confidence. Also lost Cole's trust. In many cases, he believed Durant more.
In fact, Durant is one of the few Warriors who can leave the game with his head high. Especially in these five games with the Thunder, he averaged 35+ per game, which has conquered everyone. Even Oklahoma fans have rekindled their nostalgia and resentment for him because of this performance. But he is the most painful!
Seeing Westbrook standing next to the technical stage like an emperor, enjoying the cheers and cheers of the Chesapeake Energy Arena fans, he felt very uncomfortable. Six years ago, he also stood there, enjoying it all. At that time, he, Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka were young and energetic. He launched a challenge to the first person in the league, his Heat. Although he failed in the end, he always believed that the future belongs to Thunder, and belongs to him and this group of brothers.
Unfortunately, the reality is too cruel. After a series of changes, the Thunder stumbled and never managed to climb the mountain of Xijue. During this period of time, he has won countless personal honors, and his historical status has continued to rise. However, his most desired championship is getting farther and farther. So that in the end he could only leave the city to pursue the final honor. Now, it took this team two years to once again stand on the stage of the finals. And their last blockade was themselves. Why isn't Durant suffering? If I had known that I would not leave at the beginning, maybe I could get everything I wanted last year.
Of course, all this is not important to the Thunder people who are immersed in the joy of victory. This city has new heroes and new hopes. Next, they will lead the city's expectations and once again attack the championship.
Westbrook quickly returned to the court, and then went straight to Durant. This time, there was no dissatisfaction or resentment in his heart. All the unhappiness at the beginning turned into dust and disappeared in the years. He hugged Durant, and then whispered in the other's ear: "Kevin, I will do what we haven't done before. Watch it!"
Durant was very embarrassed, he didn't even know what to say for a while. Finally, he barely squeezed out: "Come on!"
This scene was caught by the reporters. As you can imagine, this photo will stretch out countless stories. But no matter which story, Westbrook's role is the one that people are most willing to see.
After the game, the league awarded the Thunder the Western Conference championship trophy. The players of Anluo also put on the western championship commemorative shirts prepared before the game~EbookFREE.me~ This dress, they have already brought them when they went to Auckland!
Westbrook stood in the middle of the court holding the trophy, Anlow and Paul George left and right, and the other players surrounded the three. Collison, a veteran player, carrying a bottle of champagne, sprayed wildly at the players. Although it was a bit face-off, everyone laughed very happily.
"Before the game started, we were ready to end this series in Oklahoma. Both players and fans hope to witness the birth of this moment in this arena. Fortunately, we did not let everyone Disappointed, and didn't let myself down." Donovan could no longer hide the joy in his heart in front of the reporter. He rarely expresses his emotions on such occasions, but today is obviously different from the past.
However, while Donovan was happy, he still had some lingering fears. He sighed: "Two years ago, we also got here. But that time we lost! Over the past two years, we have been thinking about how to do better. In fact, we also had this opportunity last year. But At that time, the tacit understanding between our lineup and the players was much worse. But this season, we have Paul, and we have Russell and Ann. We all come together for the same goal. We are close to each other, Support each other. So we did what we didn't do before!"
However, for the Thunder, the current situation is only one hundred and fifty. The Western Conference championship is not their ultimate goal. For the Thunder, this season is just beginning. The slightly better thing is that the Eastern Cavaliers and Celtics are still playing inextricably. They have enough time to study their opponents and fully prepare.
