The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Page 1002

Durant is undoubtedly the number one contributor to the team's promotion. He averaged 29.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game in the series, showing an extremely versatile performance.

His two hit rates are as high as 50% and 41%.

It is no exaggeration to say that his performance has reached at least 70% of Tang Tian.

At the press conference after the game, the reporter couldn't hold back his curiosity, and once again asked Durant the previous question, and this time it was more aggressive.

"We all want to know who that friend is? Is it Scarlett Johansson as the outside world says."

When this question was asked, the other reporters looked at each other in blank dismay.

Apparently they felt that this reporter would not get an answer, and that he would be pissed off by Durant.

After all, in front of Durant, Scarlett is a sensitive word.

"No, it's not."

But to everyone's surprise, Durant smiled and shook his head.

It seems that he is in a really good mood to advance to the semi-finals.

"I know if you don't say it, you will guess all possible people. Well, in fact it is Don, and he gave me this advice."

After Durant answered, the audience immediately exploded.

It turned out that that person was Tang Tian!

In other words, Tang Tian and Durant are friends now?

Enemies become friends?

This is definitely big news.

Sure enough, after the news was reported, social media exploded in an instant.

"Damn Tang can become friends with Durant, I suddenly feel that there are no unresolvable conflicts between people!"

"Tang's personality is so charming. At the beginning, so many people didn't like him because of his skin color. Now, from league presidents to coaches to players, and even old enemies all regard him as a friend. Who else?"

"I heard that Scarlett has been pursuing Tang for a few years... Oh yes, and Emma Watson, so you have to add female stars to the list..."

"I found out that I fell in love with Xiaoshuai. Although Xiaoshuai is very ugly and not very good-looking, and he likes to stalk people online secretly, but he has a real temperament!"

"Yeah, look at who he chose first in the All-Star Game? Curry! He is the kind who can really be a friend. Whoever provokes him will hate him, and whoever treats him well will be nice to whom!"

"This is probably the most down-to-earth superstar?"

"That's right, who can love a female star for 9 years these days? I think Xiaoshuai is worthy of our respect for this alone, he is a billionaire!"

390 Chapter [-] Battle of Destiny

When Tang Tian saw the news report the next day, he also showed a look of surprise.

To be honest, he didn't actually treat Durant as a friend. What he did was just what a high-quality boss would do to an employee.

But Durant saw him as a friend.

This change came a little quickly.

But after thinking about it, it seems understandable.

Durant has played in the NBA for so many years, and there are only a handful of players who have a good relationship with him.

Lawson and Beasley who had known each other since they were teenagers, George and Ibaka after entering the NBA, plus Curry, they are gone.

Westbrook used to be counted as one, but later they became enemies because of their surrender to the enemy. Even if they reconciled later, they could only be superficial brothers.

So in other words, Durant hopes to be recognized by others, largely because of lack of love.

After Tang Tian poached him to the Pelicans, the World Cup, the beginning of the season, the All-Stars, and the playoffs, all his actions were to help him.

Everyone's personality and growth environment are different, which makes them have different needs for "love" from the outside world.

Durant felt that this had reached the level of "love", so he treated Tang Tian as a friend.

After Tang Tian understood it, he was a little flattered. This was the first time he was treated like this by others.

But since Durant regards him as a friend, he also treats him as a friend.

Everyone in this alliance is a multi-billionaire, which is also doomed to many people with their own personalities and self-centeredness when they act.

Durant is rare, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The Pelicans eliminated the Rockets 4-1, but on the other hand, the series between the Lakers and the Kings is not over yet.

Andrew Wiggins scored 40 points as soon as he beat James, helping the Kings reverse the away game and win, turning the big score into 2-3.

The next game is played at the king's home court, and the kings have the opportunity to drag the game into the tiebreaker.

This is the most unexpected set of matches in the first round of this year.

Looking back, the deal that the Kings made on the trade deadline not only helped them get back to the playoffs, but also hoped to advance to the second round, which was really bloody.

The Pelicans waited for the winner between the two teams, the live broadcast of the sixth game, and Stevens also arranged for the players to watch the live broadcast during the video.

In the end, the Kings still had a gap in overall strength. They lost the game 93-103 and were eliminated 2-4.

But with the Lakers playing like this, they have already lost gloriously.

Then, the opponent of the Pelicans in the second round is also determined, the old rival Lakers.

After watching the video, the team members left one after another.

Tang Tian stopped Durant and called him to his office.

Durant was a little surprised, but he also looked forward to it.

"Nervous now? Play LeBron next game."

Tang Tian asked Durant to sit down and chat while making coffee.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Durant is quite honest, it can be seen that he also regards Tang Tian as a friend as the media said before.

"I think this is your chance."

Tang Tian brought the coffee to Durant while he was talking.

Durant took the coffee and looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"Leave me aside, you've never beat LeBron before, even at 35 years old, the media and the fans put you behind him."

Tang Tian sat down and looked up at Durant.

The words were a bit harsh, Durant frowned slightly, but still nodded.

His career was really full of failures, first being suppressed by James, then by Curry, and then by Tang Tian.

"This year's Lakers are honestly not as strong as last year, so if you can beat them, you can change this situation and even become No.1."

Tang Tian's words made Durant suffocate.

When he was in the Thunder, he challenged Kobe and James in high spirits.

But at this age, he was desperate after last season, because he found that he failed when he was young, and he had no chance at all when he was at his peak.

Even if he stays in the Lakers, he will always be the same as before, the second child in a thousand years.

Until Tang Tian retired, he was recruited to the Pelicans, and he beat himself to play the peak season.

This is an opportunity for him.

Beat James, beat Leonard, beat Antetokounmpo, then he is No. 1 in the league.

"This is the battle of your destiny."

Tang Tian opened his mouth to help him make a summary.

"You have to give it your all because nobody knows what's going to happen next season and maybe it's your last chance."

Tang Tian didn't want to pour chicken soup on Durant, he just told Durant the reality.

Because Durant said to treat him as a friend, so as a friend, he has to do this kind of reminder.

Durant looked at Tang Tian for a while, then nodded.

The game between the Pelicans and the Lakers is two days away.

At this time, the East and West playoffs have also entered the semi-final stage one after another.

In the East, the Bucks swept the Bulls 4-0. After DeRozan was traded, LaVine and Booker became the new garbage brothers in the East.

The Celtics eliminated the Magic 4-1. Vucevic played better in the playoffs this year than last year, but there is still a gap between the Magic and the Celtics in overall strength.

The Pacers defeated the Nets in a tiebreaker 4-3. It was a pity that the Nets lost, but the good news is that Yi Jianlian can rest early to prepare for the Olympics.

The Raptors lost to the Pistons 2 to 4, and the Pistons completed the next gram.

Jaylen Brown proved that he is really not good, the contract of the Raptors and Lowry has officially expired, and they will basically enter the reconstruction next season.

The matchups in the Eastern Conference semifinals also came out, the Bucks played against the Pistons, and the Celtics played against the Pacers.

Both the Bucks and Celtics advanced, and overall there were no surprises.

In the West, the semifinal matchup between the Pelicans and the Lakers has been determined.

In the first round of the remaining two groups, the Spurs and the Warriors played unexpectedly. Curry was in full swing. The Warriors once tied the Spurs 2-2.

However, the Spurs' overall strength is still strong, and in the end they eliminated the Warriors 4-2 to advance to the second round.

The Mavericks and Clippers also played unexpectedly. Doncic performed even better in the second year. Last year, the Clippers eliminated the Mavericks 4-1.

This is the real NBA version of the Yangtze River.

Playing according to this rhythm, Antetokounmpo over there has not really become No. 1, but Dongcic has already caught up here.

Not to mention that Tang Tian may come back again, and that Tang Tian now knows Lin Yi who also has the system Davidson.

The NBA really feels like it is about to usher in a new prosperous age.

Of course, that's all in the future. As each team finishes the first round, the second round will start soon.

The day before the game, the entire Lakers team arrived in New Orleans. After last year, the second season of the Lakers and Pelicans will start immediately.

The first thousand and 390 five chapters, my fate is up to me

In the training session of the Pelicans game day, many media reporters came to the venue.

After the training was over, they gathered together as soon as possible.

As a former Laker player, Durant was the main subject of their interviews.

Although Durant would refuse interviews most of the time, they still did not give up trying.

To their delight, Durant did not refuse this time.

"What do you think of tonight's game, you played for the Lakers last season, but now you meet them in the semifinals?"

"The lineup of the Lakers this season has not changed much from last season. Will you feel pressure in the face of many former teammates?"

"You've never beat LeBron before, are you confident this time?"

……

The reporter's questions were like cannonballs, one after another.

After Durant signaled to come one by one, he answered one by one.
