Chapter 400 400. Durant's New Trend

After the game against the Thunder, the Lakers went to Sacramento, the capital of California, to challenge the Kings away.

In the game against the Kings, Liu Ren finally scored more than 30 points again. With Kobe, Korver, and Gasol resting, he once again regained his glory. He scored 22 points and 14 rebounds on 37 of 11 shots in three quarters, leading the Lakers to take the Kings lightly. Get two consecutive victories.

Several veterans are resting in rotation, because the next opponent is the Warriors who are basically firmly seated in the second place in the Western Conference.

After Durant was basically reimbursed in the regular season, the Thunder had lost three games in a row, and suddenly fell from competing with the Warriors for the second position to sixth. The gap between the Warriors second in the Western Conference and the Grizzlies sixth in the Western Conference was already very small. , A wave of three-game losing streak for the Thunder has basically gone far.

As the season progressed, the Warriors got better and better. Randall improved faster than people expected, much faster than Green's rookie season. He basically had Green's organizational skills last season. He relied on his physical rampage to attract defense. Creating opportunities for teammates is very powerful. Unlike Green's organization of offense that depends on his teammates, Randall digs inside to attract double-teams. Physical talent is sometimes really incomparable.

Of course, the Warriors gave Randall a lot of playing time is also one of the reasons. After all, he was one of the top picks in the past. Randall got several times more playing time than Green in his rookie year.

On the morning of the 24th, the Warriors arrived in Los Angeles by car from Oakland. The two places are not far away.

Then, the smelly and shameless Curry brought Thompson and Randall to Liu Ren's house for lunch.

As the hostess, the chick was naturally generous and warmly entertained, and she took the big loli to buy vegetables and cook together.

And Liu Ren looked at Curry with disdain.

Curry was uncomfortable with Liu Ren's gaze, and said, "Hey, boss, why are you so stingy, isn't it just because of your popularity that you have gained a little Twitter followers?"

"You still have the face to spend money after doing something bad to your heart." Liu Ren said with contempt.

Curry felt helpless towards Liu Ren's narrow-mindedness, and the two teammates next to him widened their eyes when they watched the conversation between the two. No one could have imagined that the two giants of the league would talk like this.

Curry quickly changed the subject: "By the way, boss, I have something very important to discuss with you today."

"Huh?" Liu Ren asked curiously: "Didn't it be hard for you to come to Los Angeles once to grab a meal?"

"It's all seen by you... Ah bah! Of course not!" Curry didn't expect what he said in his heart, and immediately denied: "I heard a very important news before I came to Los Angeles."

Although he was a little shameless towards Curry, Liu Ren was still very curious about what happened: "What's wrong?"

Curry's expression became serious: "Yesterday Durant was transferred to your best orthopedic hospital in Los Angeles for surgery. Before the surgery, he asked Chris Paul to go to the coffee shop and talked for more than an hour."

Liu Ren raised his eyebrows: "Could it be?"

Curry nodded: "Yes, Durant can jump out of the contract early this summer. To be honest, I am not optimistic that Westbrook can lead the team to the playoffs alone. If Durant is reimbursed in advance, it is basically equal to him. The season is over, I think what he is discussing with Paul at this time is probably to join forces!"

The expressions of Randall and Thompson also became dignified. If Durant went to the Clippers, it would be tantamount to an extremely strong opponent for them.

Now it is only the Thunder or the Clippers, even if they are all healthy, they are not too difficult opponents against the Warriors or the Lakers. The most difficult opponents are the Grizzlies, Spurs, Rockets, Mavericks, and Pelicans. The teams in the division, all the teams in the Southwest Division are famous for their hard bones in the playoffs.

And this year, the five hellish teams in the Southwest Division are all in the playoffs, and the Mavericks are also on the verge of the playoffs. Maybe the Mavericks will step into the playoffs after the Thunder falls.

Both Curry and Liu Ren looked at each other with worried eyes.

a long time……

"By the way, Stephen, would you like some red wine with your lunch?" Liu Ren asked suddenly.

"Well... that's great, but I only drink double, don't you try to knock me out and cause me to lose my game." Curry seemed to think that this was Liu Ren's trick.

"Bao bao, you've seen all of this. I haven't seen you for a few days, and my brain has improved a lot." Liu Ren seemed to be praising.

"..."

"..."

Thompson and Randall were stunned, weren't they worried about Durant joining the Clippers just now?Wasn't the atmosphere still so serious just now?How did this topic jump so fast?Where did that heavy feeling just now go?
The younger Randall, with a more lively personality, couldn't help asking: "Stephen, boss, aren't you guys talking about Durant? You haven't said what impact his joining the Clippers will have on us!"

Curry glanced at Randall like an idiot: "Whether Durant goes to the Clippers or not is none of our business? He didn't come to our Warriors. If he came to our Warriors, I would have a good drink to celebrate."

Liu Ren also looked at Randall like an idiot: "That's right, he didn't come to our Lakers, he came to the Lakers... I still have to play power forward, it's too tiring, and our team doesn't have many players." money."

"..." Randall was at a loss for words for a moment, his mind was not the kind that turned very fast, and he was completely confused for a while.

On the contrary, Thompson and Curry went to see Liu Ren more often, knowing that the two of them would become funny when they sat together, and their thinking jumped greatly.

"Then why were you discussing Durant just now?" Randall was indeed a curious baby, and wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

Curry looked embarrassed.

Liu Ren said: "Can't you see that this guy wants to change the subject? Where Durant goes is none of our business. Even if there are more Clippers, he will not be my opponent for the Lakers."

Curry answered at this time: "Of course it won't be our Warriors' opponent. Remember, you two, our opponent is only the man's team in front of you. We must defeat him!"

"Hey, it's not good to say something like that in front of my face, and you'll be eating at my house later?" The corner of Liu Ren's mouth twitched.

"Oh... I forgot that boss is still here..."

"..."

"..."

Thompson has met Liu Ren many times since Curry took him to train with Liu Ren for the first time in the summer. Why did Curry and Liu Ren, two serious people who were rumored to be serious, turn into funny when they got together? - It's not very clear than this, but it's not surprising if you see more.

And Randall was the first time the boss took him out to meet a superstar, so he was a little excited, and he was still looking forward to what kind of person Liu Ren would be in private.

Liu Ren's reputation has changed rapidly recently, from the conflicts with Kobe at the beginning, asking the team to trade Korver to seek revenge... and a series of bad reputations. Yin others.

Although many fans think that the Lakers' approach is very immoral, it is true that after the exposure, the Lakers unexpectedly gained more fans. This kind of funny-forced team can still be loved by many fans.
