Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 121 121. Another Wave

Oklahoma is located in the south-central region of the United States, and there are many water sources nearby. There are many rivers and lakes, but the watershed is small and has little impact on the environment.

Westbrook drove Richard slowly all the way, and the destination was one of the small rivers.

Located in the southern suburbs of Oklahoma, the upstream of the river is a groundwater lake, which was built into a park. After going down the river, the river is rushing and slowing down. On some wider sections of the river, platforms for people to fish can be built.

Fishing in a river with such currents feels weaker than sea fishing, but it is much more fun than fishing in lakes.

But obviously Westbrook can't appreciate this kind of happiness, and would rather come to pick up Richard alone.

The two came to the fishing place. It turned out that most of the team's players had arrived, including Huestis and Collison, who hadn't been there last time, and Felton, who was newly signed to the team.

Felton is short and stocky, and looks like a solid mass. It can be seen that he is very stable whether he is playing ball or fishing.

If you want to run, you have to be able to run.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that most of the players were guarding the fishing rods, and everyone had different expressions, Richard was a little puzzled.

"Fishing competition." Westbrook replied lightly, "George organized it."

Although I don't know if George, as the head star, used this method to unite and unite the players when he was in the Pacers, but it is obvious that this method does not work well in the Thunder.

You see people sitting and dozing, some chatting, and others with no one in front of the fishing rod at all.

On the contrary, George himself had a great time, the smile on his face was from the heart, and the feeling of sunshine complemented today's weather.

Just at this moment, George caught another fish, and he pulled the fish out of the river easily with his arm, and flew to the shore in an arc with a string of water splashes.

George erected the fishing rod, stretched out his hand to catch the fish, hooked and let go, and with a few simple movements, he took the fish off the hook and threw it into the bucket beside him.

Does this also build arm strength and accuracy?
Tucao is Tucao, but I have to admire George's fishing level is really strong, while other teammates are a bit horrible.

oh.Of course, apart from Collison, it is better to be patient when you are older. Currently, only he has fish in his bucket.

"Do you want to participate?" Westbrook's smile couldn't tell whether it was joking or sincere.

"No, I'd rather play with my phone on the side." Richard quickly slipped away and joined the viewing area behind.

"Russell! Your fishing rod has also bit the hook. I caught a few for you." George waved at Westbrook.

Westbrook only stood together with George, trying to learn to fish.

After being exposed to the scorching sun for an afternoon, Richard felt that the skin on his body was about to fall off, and finally George put away the fishing rod contentedly.

"Come on, let's judge the final results!" George looked like a fisherman with a bucket and a fishing rod.

Will anyone seriously fish?

well?There are fish in everyone's bucket, and there are not many. What motivates everyone to do an activity that has never been touched so well.

"The result is obvious, Nick Collison has the most, and he will win the 5000 yuan reward in today's fishing competition!"

Following George's announcement, everyone applauded sparsely.

It turned out to be evil money, no wonder.

George obviously has more fish than the others. It seems that George should be the winner of the big prize.So you don't participate in the game as a referee, right?

"Come to my house at night, and I will cook fish for everyone!" George continued to work hard to integrate into everyone.

"Today's wine will be paid by me who won the game." Collison borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and took out the money to pay for everyone.

So George already bought a house in Oklahoma?Comparing people to people, it makes people mad!

After notifying Luo Xi that he had to spend the night with his teammates, Richard followed the large army to the mansion rented by George.

The rent is more reasonable. Who knows, I will stay in Oklahoma for a few years.

Those who can cook all enter the kitchen to help, while those who can't cook gather in the living room to continue chatting.

I don't know who turned on the TV. The sports channel that athletes will definitely watch happens to be a basketball program.

Maurice Dennis, another commentator who has nothing to do with Richard, is interpreting the recent transfer market.

"The operation of the Warriors this year can be said to be a great success. Not only did they successfully make an appointment with Curry, but they also retained Durant with a relatively low salary. With the addition of a three-point scorer like Nick Young, the Warriors' offensive firepower in the new season is even stronger!" Dennis is summarizing the operation of the Warriors.

"What's so interesting about this, turn it off." Robertson reached for the remote control.

"Mr. Dennis, what other teams do you think have successfully operated during the season, as far as it is concerned." The host asked.

"It seems that the Thunder and the Rockets are fighting with all their strength. Of course, the Spurs are one of them, but their core lineup is almost unchanged. It is more about tactics and training, and has little to do with team operations." Dennis talked eloquently.

"The Thunder operate like a textbook."

Robertson got the remote control, but didn't press it to close. Everyone smiled and looked at Robertson. Robertson put down the remote control and put his hands on his head and leaned on the sofa, pretending to be stupid.

The host was surprised by Dennis's evaluation, and asked: "The Thunder traded Paul George at the risk of being in vain. Why do you still get such a high evaluation from you?"

"Whether Paul George's transaction is successful can't just look at this one transaction, but should look at it as a whole."

"First of all, the Thunder retained the successful core lineup of last season: Westbrook, Richard, Adams, and Robertson. It can be said that the offensive and defensive ends have not changed much. Last season, Westbrook won the MVP and the best team, Richard was the best sixth man, Robertson was the best defensive second team, and Adams averaged nearly 10 rebounds per game. Such a team can be said to have both offense and defense, and is good at disrupting battles. No one wants to meet them."

Hearing such comments, everyone looked at each other with a smile and high-fived each other.

"Second, the Thunder's contract renewals have achieved very good results. From our point of view, Westbrook has lost 500 million per year; Richard has also saved at least 1400 million per year from 300 million. If some teams that need stars can sign 2000 million, it is possible; Robertson is cheaper, and the defensive second team players only earn 1000 million per year. All of them are cheap."

Westbrook, Richard, and Robertson all shrugged. Everyone is saving money for the team, which is also a manifestation of team cohesion.

"As for the traded Oladipo and Sabonis, it is indeed worth cultivating players who can become big players in the future, but if the Thunder want to maintain their championship competitiveness and grasp Westbrook's peak time, they cannot continue to wait."

"I believe that Westbrook's salary cut is also related to this. If the Thunder is willing to hit the championship, Westbrook will choose to cut his salary. Otherwise, the 4000 million-year contract will directly lock the team's operating space."

Dennis's analysis ability is very powerful. Hearing the host's facial expression constantly changing, if it wasn't for the show, he would probably have clicked his tongue.

"What about Paul George? He only has a one-year contract, and he announced that he is going to play for the Lakers. If he can't get anything this year, the Thunder will have nothing. Why do you say that this deal is not risky?" The host continued to ask.

"Let's continue to look at the Thunder's current lineup. Outside Westbrook and Richard form a double gun. Don't forget that Richard's average of 20 points per game last season was achieved under the condition that Westbrook had a large number of shots. If Westbrook reduces unnecessary shots this season, the team's scoring ability will be even stronger."

"As for Paul George, he has off-the-ball ability, doesn't particularly occupy the ball, and has a strong finishing ability. For the Thunder's lineup, it is just reinforcement, and there is no mutual restriction."

"Don't forget, George is still a very strong defensive player. I don't need to elaborate on how competitive a team with a balanced offense and defense is."

"So, next season, the Thunder's strength will go a step further. It's an exaggeration to say that they can definitely enter the championship ranks." Dennis' words are like a stone falling into the water, more like water dripping into a hot oil pan.

"Wow~~" The players in front of the TV exclaimed, it is a dream to compete for the championship, but if they really have to face it, some still can't believe it.

Only Westbrook and Richard remained calm.

And there was George who heard the sound from the kitchen.

"If the Thunder can show enough dominance and championship strength this season, who says Paul George won't choose to renew his contract? Must he go to the Lakers and continue to lead a team of young people beyond the threshold of the playoffs?" Dennis's words became more powerful, directly hitting George's heart, and George's eyes changed.

"I love this Dennis!" Kanter yelled, clapping his hands.

The host took out a piece of paper, rubbed it, and said, "Mr. Rashawn Merritt also said in another program before that Richard only has the ability to start. If he loses the sixth man's possession, he will fall to the altar. Maybe he won't even be able to perform like last year."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Dennis very seriously, "Mr. Dennis, you are good friends, how do you read Mr. Merritt's words?"

Why is Merritt everywhere?Richard seems to have been targeted by Merritt.

"Oh~~" Everyone looked at Richard again, "Li Cha, prove it to him!"

"Prove it to him!"

"Of course." Richard smiled indifferently, but swears fiercely in his heart.

"What Lashawn said has his analysis. As the third offensive option, whether Richard can play or not depends on him. In my opinion, if Richard can play well, it is the Thunder's competitiveness." Dennis leaned his hand on the table in front of him.
