Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 57. 57. The Carnival Before Christmas Eve

Richard was unprepared, and he couldn't help shivering due to the chilling feeling in his heart.

In an instant, the locker room exploded, and the teammates rushed over with malicious smiles, everyone's mobile phone was holding a water bottle, and all kinds of water bottles were filled with water without exception.

Some squeezed the water out and sprayed it on Richard's body, some poured the water out all at once, some felt that it was not refreshing enough, opened the lid and poured it directly on the head, and they were also splashed with water.

Westbrook was among them, cheering and celebrating the victory with everyone.

Although Richard's body was cold, his heart gradually warmed up. The atmosphere of the team was very good. We fought hard for the victory together and were happy for the outstanding performance of our teammates.

After pouring the water, everyone dispersed, leaving only Richard standing there wet, smiling foolishly.

Collison handed Richard a towel.

On the flight back, Richard slept very well. The game consumed too much energy, and he couldn't fall asleep when he got to the dormitory.

Then replay the process of today's game.

Richard recalled the technical movements on the court in his mind, decomposed them step by step, simulated them in his mind, and practiced the movements that he was not familiar with on weekdays.

Especially the finishing shot, facing the same defense, I would not dare to shoot on weekdays, but in that state I did not hesitate.

Of course, it is also because you can understand your opponent's movements that you can be confident in making moves.

For that state of ecstasy, the first thing that Richard thought of was... this name is so ugly, first choose a name to make yourself feel better.

By fully concentrating and maximizing one's ability, isn't this very similar to the situation in a certain anime?Then call it "zoom"!

With a cool name in hand, the next step was to figure out how to activate "zoom".

Improving concentration is definitely one of the conditions.

Richard tried his best to increase his concentration and tried to activate it, but 5 minutes passed to no avail.

Does it need to match with basketball?
Holding the basketball, Richard focused all his attention on the basketball, but there was still no result.

It can't have to be in the game.

I had also activated zoom in a trance before, such as in a one-on-one fight with Sneijder.

That can only be tried again in the next game, but the consumption, benefits and side effects cannot be tested.

Putting down the zoom test, Richard checked his status again. During the game, he found that his skill attributes had been greatly improved. What is it like now...

Hey, another task has been completed.

There is a reward to take, Richard put aside checking the status without hesitation, and opened the task information.

"Score 25 points in the game (completed). Reward: Medal Fragment*1."

"Score 30 points in the game (completed). Reward: Medal Fragment*1."

"Score 35 points in the game (completed). Reward: Medal Fragment*1."

Completing three missions in one game is really an explosion of luck.

But what the hell is this medal fragment?How long does it take to collect a medal?
"Medal Fragments: Every three medal fragments can be synthesized into a random medal, and the obtained medals may also appear."

Three fragments combined into one medal, that's just enough!
Make sure to synthesize!

Richard clicked the synthesis button excitedly, only to see three jigsaw puzzle-like things rotate, gather in the middle, and merge with each other.

Rubbing his hands, Richard is looking forward to a new improvement!
Wait, what does the last sentence that the existing medals may also appear mean?Is it possible to have the same badge?What if the same happens?
Waste fragments?

Richard's back was cold.

I finally got a few fragments, if I wasted like this, I would cry and faint in the toilet.

Just when Richard was thinking wildly, the medal has been successfully synthesized and appeared in the fusion position.

Does the successful synthesis mean that this is a new medal, and the fragments are not wasted?
Richard carefully checked the description of the medal, although it will not change anything if he is not careful, there is always a knot in his mind.

"Insight Medal: You can understand the opponent's thinking by reading the opponent's actions, and further improve the success rate of offense and defense. There is a positive relationship between the success rate of insight and concentration."

What were you thinking just now?I got it!

Richard was shocked, with this medal, it is even more powerful.

I really want to be a tiger.

On December 12, the day before Christmas Eve, the Thunder traveled to Boston to challenge the Celtics.

The league did not arrange a Christmas game for the Thunder this year. Of course, the nationwide live broadcast of the game must be a team with higher attention, so as to attract more attention and ratings.

And the Thunder can no longer be listed as a strong team after the offseason, so naturally they don't have this treatment.

But who would have known that the Thunder would still be in the top four in the Western Conference after the start of the season.

And Westbrook can average 28+ triple-doubles per game, ranks in the forefront of the league in scoring and assists, and can also enter the top 20 in rebounds.

This slap made the alliance's face hot, and another slap was Richard's strong joining.

The undrafted pick who didn't even deserve a name at the beginning of the season has now scored 36 points in a single game.

This kind of performance is not a flash in the pan. The last game against the Pelicans was the first time that Richard played more than 30 minutes. The data in the previous ten games averaged 15 minutes and 16 points per game.

Efficient and able to digest the ball, Richard's ability suddenly reached an admirable level.

But the strange thing is that against the Celtics, Richard is still not the starter.

Donovan didn't explain it, and Richard could only think about what Donovan said to himself back then, that he was "an important firepower on the bench".

Just like Louis Williams in the Clippers, he is not a starter but scores higher than the starter, and his tactical status is more important.

By the way, that was about the 17th season. Lu Wei is still under the Rockets Harden this season.

At the beginning of the game between the two teams, the Celtics played the background of the veteran team, played steadily, took the lead in scoring, and blossomed more points.

Westbrook responded with a jumper.

Isaiah Thomas is only 175 tall, and it is much easier to hit him with a pull-up jumper than a breakthrough.

The Celtics developed Thomas Jr. to the extreme in the 16th season. Although it was a defensive loophole, their offensive tactics completely revolved around Thomas Jr., and they could match any opponent in terms of scoring.

On the defensive side, a zone defense is arranged, so that other players can make up for Thomas Jr.'s loopholes, and they won't be easily blown up by opponents.

As for the forced pull, there are not many teams with a high shooting percentage, and there will only be one or two good shooters in a team, not necessarily guards, just focus on defense.

Others use offense to make up for deficiencies.

Thomas Jr.'s ball control like a butterfly makes many tall defenders have no choice. Once he rushes into the penalty area, he can use his extremely fast pace and turn around to play with the center and score easily.

The Thunder also had never fought against such an opponent before, so they fell into a disadvantage at the beginning.

Westbrook became the god of war again, relying on mid-range shots and breakthroughs to maintain the score gap.

Oladipo still felt cold and didn't score 2 points until he was replaced.

Richard replaced Robertson in the 8th minute. When he came on the field, he vaguely heard someone applauding. Hey, I didn't expect to have fans present.

Richard began to concentrate as soon as he came on stage, and he wanted to try to activate the zoom.

But no matter how focused he was, Richard still didn't activate zoom.

However, the increase in concentration has greatly improved the offense and defense. The opposing player can't take advantage of Richard, and he was almost robbed several times.

On the offensive end, Richard even grabbed Thomas Jr. and beat him up.

If you don’t want to be in the position, you can change. If you change to Thomas Jr., you can pull out. If you are defensive, you can retreat. The 20 cm height difference makes Richard stand in an absolutely invincible position. You can avoid the defense by just raising your hands. Richard’s mid-range shot is another nightmare for Thomas Jr.

Westbrook's mid-range shots are not very high, and even if he is forced to pull up, he may not make it. Thomas Jr.'s defensive pressure is not great.

But Richard is different. He has been hitting mid-range shots and he has become a practice state when facing Thomas Jr., without any interference or obstruction in front of him.

The hit rate is super high.

If the switch fails and the two sides attack, Richard will return the ball to Westbrook, and Westbrook can attack the inside again by staggering the defense.

Soon, under the double guns in the backcourt, the Thunder kept chasing points and achieved a lead at halftime.

The Celtics had to change their tactics. When Richard was on the court, he hid Thomas Jr. so that the opponent could not score easily. When Richard was not on the court, he let Thomas Jr. play to chase points.

This turns the initiative into a passive, and the scoring efficiency will naturally not be high.

And the players defending Richard did not limit Richard who played well. Richard scored 10 points by taking a step-back shot, and scored 4 points for breakthrough layups and dunks. Adding three-pointers and free throws, Richard scored 24 points on 13 of 8 shots in 21 minutes.

Westbrook also scored 30+ triple-doubles in a row, leading the Thunder to defeat the Celtics with 33 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

Double-kill opponents in the season.

Richard's efficient scoring performance resonated among the fans.

"This Richard ate some kind of fairy fruit and suddenly became very powerful!"

"Richard has performed strongly since he entered everyone's field of vision, but now he is just continuing to perform."

"The shot is so accurate, Richard started hitting the mid-range again, which is impressive!"

"This is the charm of basketball! It's not fun to shoot three-pointers all the time."

"Three-pointers are the trend of the times. Whether the mid-range can return to the game and become a regular weapon really needs to be considered. After all, Richard can rely on the mid-range to kill opponents, which is really amazing!"

"Richard! Are you a Christmas gift from God?"

……

Discussions on social media are in full swing, and on the other hand, Richard is also preparing for his Christmas Eve, so he can't just stay in the dormitory overnight.

Anyway, I am also considered a high-income group, go out for a while!
　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for an investment, and in addition, the recent double monthly ticket, can give a little bit.

　　It will be on the shelves tomorrow, please support us a lot!
