Chapter 875 Thunder City
Although Brand was reimbursed for the season again due to injury, it was a big blow to the Clippers, but after all, the season is still in progress, and everything has to look forward.

And most of the season, the team spent without Brand, so for Brand's reimbursement for the season, the Clippers should not be affected too much, but they can't have all the members. It's really a pity to play.

While speaking, Lan Shengli led the team to Oklahoma to challenge Brooks' team, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"Long time no see, Mr. Brooks~!"

"Welcome to Oklahoma City~!!"

The two former Clippers scouts and assistants met and seemed very cordial.

"I stole the Harden I want to choose, I will always remember this account~!"

Brooks joked.

"Haha, you snatched away my UCLA student Westbrook, so this matter is considered even~!!"

Lan Shengli also responded with a smile.

"Haha~, after the game is over, let's find a place to have a drink and chat~!! My treat~!"

Brooks continued.

"Good~!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

Don't look at the two people chatting happily now, when the game starts, they will definitely give their all for the victory of the game.

After all, no one wants to lose in such a duel.

After a brief greeting with Brooks, Lan Shengli soon saw another old acquaintance, that is Russell Westbrook.

"Hey, rookie coach, how are you doing recently~?!"

Here Westbrook walked towards Lan Shengli with an innocent smile and said.

"The rookie coach is fine recently, haha~!"

Lan Shengli responded, and the two embraced tightly.

Unlike Brooks, who only got along for just three months, Lan Shengli and Westbrook worked together at UCLA for a season. Although it didn't last a year, it added up to nearly 8 months.

At that time, it was Lan Shengli's suggestion that made Westbrook a starter in his sophomore season, and also made him shine in that season, becoming a lottery rookie.

If there is no suggestion from Lan Shengli, I am afraid that Westbrook can only play as a substitute for Collison. Even if he goes to the NBA, he may not be a stable starter like he is now.

And in that season, Lan Shengli guided Westbrook in a lot of technical things, which made Westbrook improve a lot of problems, and generally became better.

"Time flies so fast, it seems like yesterday we were watching videos together in the UCLA video room, and now we have come to the NBA, it's really unbelievable~!"

Westbrook said.

"Your performance also makes me feel unbelievable. You can contribute 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in your rookie season. It's really amazing~!"

Lan Shengli praised it.

"If it wasn't for the Thunder team to intercept you, you would be a member of our Clippers, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to say with a smile.

"Forget it, man, you are still low-key as always, you are the incredible person, you are the youngest coach in the history of North American professional sports~!! Do you know what this means~?!"

Westbrook shook his head first, then spoke.

"What~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"There are only two possibilities for this situation. The first is that you are a genius, you are a person who was born to become a basketball coach and NBA head coach~!!, and the second is that everything is just a daydream, haha~! !"

Westbrook said half-jokingly.

Two people "commercially blow each other" up.

"Haha~!!, well, then I'll choose the first one~!!"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"Although our relationship is not ordinary, you should also know that after the competition starts, there will be no friends, so in order to win, I will go all out~!!"

Westbrook said with a firm expression.

"This is professionalism, don't worry, I will let my team members take good care of you tonight~!!"

Lan Shengli stood up and said.

Although the two of them talked a little bit with a hidden knife in their smiles, it didn't make people feel worried.

In a blink of an eye, the game will begin.

Because of Brand's reimbursement for the season, Gooden filed a trade application, so the Clippers' starting lineup returned to the beginning of the season.

Hill, Harden, Johnson, Thornton and Jordan.

Let Thornton play the four again.

The Thunder team has no injuries, and it can be said that they are strong and strong.

Westbrook and Sefoloza partnered in the backcourt, Kevin Durant and Jeff Green partnered in the frontcourt, and the center was Serbian white insider Kostic.

"Such a starting lineup is already strong enough. With Tyreke Evans sitting under the bench, and the Spanish black insider Ibaka, and the white insider Collison, the depth of the Thunder's lineup is really good enough. That's it~!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

The starting players from both sides enter the field, and the game will start soon.

Because the Thunder has a tradition at home, that is, until the home team scores the first goal, all the fans will not sit down, so before the game started, all the fans stood up to watch the game, as if the game had already passed. Same at the last moment.

While speaking, the jump ball was over. Although Jordan got the ball, the active Westbrook judged the landing point in advance, ran to the frontcourt, jumped high, and grabbed the ball in front of Hill. The ball is under control.

Perhaps Westbrook was extremely excited about the winning team against Shanglan.

Just like Le Fu's state before.

Here Westbrook did not wait for his teammates to get in position, but directly lowered his center of gravity and broke through.

The Clippers players are still a little out of shape, and they haven't reacted to Westbrook's attack so quickly.

But after all, the Clippers had a lot of people, which blocked Westbrook's route.

But Westbrook didn't panic, and threw the ball directly towards the basket.

Because the attention of the five Clippers is on Westbrook at the moment, no one noticed Durant who cut in from the 45-degree three-point line on the wing.

Durant took off like a superficial touch, stretched out his long arms to get the ball, and directly poured the ball into the basket.

"Duang~!!!"

The Thunder hit an alley-oop in the opening game.

"Yeah!!!!!!"

All the fans were as excited as witnessing a lore.

That piercing shout was really like thunder.

"The City of Thunder really deserves its reputation. A fierce battle is inevitable. Come on, whether it is Mr. Brooks or Westbrook, the victory tonight must belong to me~!"

Lan Shengli thought swearingly.
