Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 296. Chapter 296

On December 12, the things that had been hanging around finally came to fruition.

The Knicks traded with the Thunder, sending Lance Thomas and a 2020 second-round pick for Randle.

Uh... I have to admire the detonator. Randall can still get a second-round pick like this, or the Knicks management's operation is too incomprehensible.

Moreover, the Knicks have lost interest in Porzingis and have already traded with the Lone Ranger, sending Porzingis to the Lone Ranger who has always liked European players.

Or is the Knicks trying to push Randall?

Without the core Knicks, almost all of them are short-term contracts. By the offseason, at least 5000 million salary space will be vacated. If the operation is good, two superstars can be introduced.

Replacing Randall at this time is to ensure that the team still has a certain degree of competitiveness and stabilize the mentality of the fans who are about to explode. In addition, there will be corresponding chips to provide when signings in the offseason.

If Randall is worth playing, he will definitely not implement the player option. It is an operation to sign first and then change;

And Lance Thomas will be bought out by the Thunder. The Thunder don't trust Thomas. He played more than 14 games with the Thunder in the 15-20 season, and then he was traded to the Knicks. He could only average 3-6 points per game in the Knicks for three seasons.

After the buyout, you can also avoid a lot of luxury taxes, which is a good deal. As for the players, you can sign players with a minimum salary in the free market later.

When the news of Randall's trade came, Li Cha sighed deeply.

Destiny is gradually changing, and many things are changing, but the world's ability to correct is also very powerful. Randall finally went to the Knicks.

Maybe there he can get what he wants.

At this time, what Li Cha wanted was to improve his record. The team had dropped out of the top eight, which was completely unacceptable, although the focus of discussion among fans recently was not the record, but the MVP ranking.

And he also raised objections to his failure to enter the top ten discussions. This is the fans' love for him, but it is inevitable that they will talk about the record.

Well, not only the fans, but even Li Cha himself couldn't stand it.

On the 17th, the Thunder continued to host the Bulls at home.

The last time the two teams played against LaVine, he made 9 turnovers and won. Li Cha was a little sour. Today, LaVine cannot continue to have good luck.

The teammates are in good spirits. Randall has not played in many games. Now even if he is traded, it can no longer affect everyone's mood. Instead, the matter has come to an end, and everyone is relieved.

After saying goodbye to the unpleasant things, the players cheered up again.

Among the losing streaks of the previous teams, some were due to bad luck, some were due to physical strength, and there was no factor of morale or strength in it.

Now, the players are even more motivated, and even Donovan's spirit has returned.

The Bulls are Rose's mother team, and he loves and hates the Bulls for Rose. What he loves is that he opened his most glorious moment in the Bulls, and what he hates is that he didn't get enough protection, and eventually died here.

This kind of love-hate relationship is the most difficult for people to choose. Under the dilemma, I can't show my best state and strength.

But after so many years of wandering and wandering, and getting used to seeing the cold world, Ross has become very strong in his heart, and his choices have become much tougher.

Whether it is love or hate, Ross must use his best performance to show the other party.

Rose started the scoring mode at the beginning. This scoring momentum made fans think that Rose would have another 50-point night.

50 points is so easy.

But Rose's outburst added a super chip to the Thunder's victory.

Coupled with Li Cha's steady output of high scores, the Thunder finally ended their five-game losing streak.

For the Bulls, LaVine was completely restrained by Li Cha. Although he didn't make 9 turnovers like the previous game, he didn't score 27 points like the previous game.

李茶22投15中再砍下36分7篮板5助攻3抢断，迫使拉文只拿到了17分6助攻，还有7次失误。

Rose also scored 25 points and 8 assists.

105:117, the Thunder won by 12 points.

The Thunder has re-formed two shots from outside, plus Nunn and Robinson's three-pointers, Allen's blocks and Adams' rebounds, the Thunder's offensive and defensive systems have tended to be balanced at this time.

If the Warriors' starting lineup is a perfect team composed of top players from all positions, then the Thunder is now a perfect team with no flaws.

When Curry saw the Thunder's game highlights, there was anxiety and concern in his expression.

"Thunder's flaws are gone...the next time we encounter it, it will be very difficult to fight." Curry muttered to himself.

On the 19th, the Thunder challenged the Kings away, and the Thunder once again defeated their opponents without bloodshed.

李茶25投15中得到38分5篮板5助攻，罗斯也有20分6助攻入账。

At 109:92, the Thunder performed very well on both offense and defense.

As a result, the Thunder's record has improved to 15 wins and 15 losses, and the ranking has advanced one place to ninth in the West, only 0.5 wins away from the previous one.

Thunder's morale was high at this time.

On the 22nd, the game between the Thunder and the Jazz was held in Salt Lake City.

The game against the Jazz was very intense.

Although the Jazz won the last game, they were obviously not satisfied. Qiu, who was eliminated by the Thunder last season, wanted more victories to make up for it.

In addition, Li Cha has had a grudge against the Jazz since his debut, and many milestones have been achieved in games against the Jazz. The Jazz's hatred for Li Cha has never subsided.

Mitchell, who was in the second grade, also grew rapidly, and became more skilled in cooperating with Gobert inside and outside, quite a bit like Malone and Stockton growing up, but Malone was the main offensive inside at that time, and now Mitchell is the main offensive on the outside.

The performance of the Thunder is also very good, and it is not wrong to lose in the away game in the end. The two teams did not decide the winner until the last moment. Mitchell relied on his overwhelming touch to kill the Thunder.

At that time, Li Cha had already sealed the ball, but Mitchell insisted on staying in the air for a few tenths of a second, and finally lost his balance before landing, and the ball was scored.

108:109, the Jazz narrowly won by one point.

李茶23投14中得到35分6篮板4助攻，米切尔30投16中拿到42分5篮板5助攻。

On the 23rd, the Thunder ushered in the Timberwolves back to back at home.

The Timberwolves finally entered the playoffs last year, but the key player Butler was traded during the offseason, leaving two potential players, Towns and Wiggins.

Last year, many coaches said they liked Towns as the core to rebuild the team, and Wiggins was still the No. [-] talent who surpassed James.

As a result, at the beginning of this season, the two exposed their personality problems.

A brush, a lazy.

The Timberwolves have once again fallen in the hands of these two top picks, and they are at the bottom again this season.

The season has only been played for a little more than a third, and there is a chance to make it to the playoffs, but first the core of the two top picks must change their concepts.

But before the change, such as this one, the Thunder had already taken advantage.

Originally, after playing back-to-back away games, they were physically flawed, but the Timberwolves played slowly, and if they could not break through, they floated outside and shot, allowing the Thunder to hide their disadvantages.

As for positional warfare, offense is what Li Cha is good at. The Thunder is now monolithic in defense. If you want to defeat Thunder with positional warfare, you need a few superstars.

The two champions of the Timberwolves are obviously not superstars.

At 98:104, the Timberwolves successfully lost again, and they were one step closer to the No. [-] pick.

李茶20投12中得到32分4篮板6助攻。

The two champions, Wiggins hung up with 19 points, Towns scored 30 points and 12 rebounds, but he was beaten into a sieve.

The Thunder's record returned to 50.00% again, with 16 wins and 16 losses and continued to stabilize at 9th.

After 32 games, Li Cha realized that Christmas is coming soon.

There is still a Christmas game to be played this year. It was originally scheduled to be in Houston on the 25th, the home court of the Rockets. There will be a super collision between the Thunder and the Rockets.

But now that the Thunder has lost two superstars, I don't know if the league regrets arranging such a game.

Ratings... The Thunder has Li Cha, and China has a lot of attention. The Rockets used to be China's home team, and they have a lot of fan base, so there shouldn't be any worries.

However, in such a game, the probability of the Thunder winning is very small.

According to official current calculations, the probability of the Rockets winning has reached 78%.

The probability of the gaming company is even more exaggerated, and the probability of the Rockets winning has reached 85%.

Even if the Cavaliers at the bottom of the league play against the Warriors, the probability is about the same.

The pre-publicity has already begun, and the Christmas Lake Brave War may be more attractive. James and Curry’s grievances in the finals for many years will be placed in the Christmas war. It is impossible to see the two duel in the finals this year. There will definitely be many fans watching.

Even Li Cha himself wanted to watch it.

Smiling slightly, first of all, it is better to spend Christmas Eve with Luo Xi.

On the 24th, Li Cha did not go to training, but just went for a morning jog near his home. It is more important to be with his family during the holidays. Li Cha also told the three rookies about this matter, and obviously they are also very supportive.

Li Cha's morning run was also when Luo Xi hadn't woken up. Seeing that it was about the same time, Li Cha turned back and returned home.

Along the way, every household posted a lot of decorations, which looked very festive. If it weren't for the fact that Oklahoma is a bit southerly, it would have been even more atmospheric if there was snow.

It was only then that Li Cha remembered that he had been too focused on the team's affairs recently, and he didn't do any decorations at home, nor did Luo Xi, probably because he was busy with graduation.

Back home, when Li Cha entered the door, he saw Luo Xi tidying up.

"Do you want to go out?" Li Cha was a little surprised. Luo Xi woke up so early and had already packed everything.

"Yeah, go to Westbrook's house. Let's go buy some gifts first. Do you think I look good?" Rosie turned around.

"Ah? Going again?" Although the Christmas Eve was spent at Westbrook's house for the past two years, this year he didn't contact him.

"You are so busy, it was Nina who contacted me, I miss little Nuoah too, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Rosie, if the Westbrooks see you being so excited, you will be molested again.
