i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 136 [Fish swimming upstream]

The Thunder have been pretty good since the start of this season, with 3 wins and 1 loss, the same record as the Warriors. The key is that the schedule is good.

It can be seen that Stern is also training these guys from the Thunder, and they are indeed up to date.

In the 11th and 12th seasons of the previous life, the Heat were fully integrated and reached the finals after a bumpy journey. They were overjoyed to face the immature Thunder and won the championship.

If my little emperor hadn't used his might to kill them, the three brothers of the Young Guards would have really succeeded in realizing their dream.

Precisely because of winning the championship, the Heat persisted for another year and won another championship. Then they were filled with joy and prepared to establish the Heat dynasty and advance all the way to the finals.

Oh, when he met the aging Spurs, James remembered the scene when he made it to the Finals for the first time and was easily sent away by the Spurs. That year, Duncan said something to him:

"The future is yours!"

James waited 7 years to meet Duncan again in the Finals. The No. 21 rookie was already old, and the Spurs were nothing special, but they were severely beaten after a few games.

Duncan once again stated: "The future is yours!"

My emperor saw that the Heat had lost their ambitions and had not established a dynasty. The Heat could no longer improve him. He remembered his "original intention" and returned to the Cavaliers.

As a result, the Thunder never made it out of the Western Conference and entered the Finals. Later, Durant faced the rising Warriors and had a sudden epiphany after being defeated.

If you can't beat it, just join.

Because of this, the Warriors have no flaws.

But now because of Xia Yin's existence, the alliance has long become different.

At least Shain won't give the Thunder another chance.

Xia Yin thought about it all the way and came to his villa.

Looking at the two-story villa in front of him, Guigui was really envious, and Harden's eyes were also staring straight at it.

They knew Shain's home in Los Angeles, and had also visited his home in Phoenix and his ranch in Santa Barbara.

But now this big villa costs millions of dollars, right?
Plus the oncoming butler and a few security guards.

Harden and Turtle looked at each other, "It's great to have money!"

Adu has money, after all, he has a new contract, plus a sneaker contract, and various endorsements.

But in the face of Xia Yin's attitude that was incompatible with basketball players, he still lowered his head.

"Come on, we're here."

At this time Curry and Allen also came out to greet them.

"Haha, you are here, come in quickly!"

Turtle smiled and stepped forward to hug Kurialian. They were already very familiar with each other and were considered good friends.

"You guys did a pretty good job, Mr. future mvp?"

Curry chuckled. It was not easy for Turtle to say this. This was an indirect recognition of his strength.

Guigui patted A Lian's arm and said, "Well done, I live up to Xia Yin's high opinion of you."

Allen is an honest man, but he is also familiar with Guigui. He smiled and said in a deep voice, "It's because I am stronger."

Guigui didn't say anything more. He was a man who knew what he was doing. It could be seen how hard Xia Yin worked to train A Lian.

Coming here, Turtle seemed to be the talker of the Thunder, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. Adu remained silent, and Harden followed suit, but after all, they were all acquaintances.

"Okay, stop bragging. Let's go. The house is ready and dinner is ready."

The group of people walked into the villa and started eating.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Guigui felt warm in his heart. He and Xia Yin have been friends for several years, and they still ate a lot of Chinese food with Xia Yin.

Now on the table, there are many dishes that Guigui likes. Xia Yin sometimes doesn't say it with his mouth, but there are many things in his heart.

Just like when he quit the American Blues Association to support Xia Yin, there was no movement at first, but once there was movement, it was a big deal.

Since knowing Xia Yin, Guigui has never seen him mistreat one of his own. He is a man who does great things.

Harden and Adu have also eaten a lot of Chinese food and know how to use chopsticks, but the big table in front of them with 21 dishes is really luxurious.

Because there was a competition, no one drank, so Xia Yin entertained them with the red robe given by the leader after winning the World Championships.

"What kind of drink is this? It tastes weird." Harden asked after taking a sip of tea.

Guigui looked at his third brother and said with disdain, "This is tea. In ancient times, only nobles could drink it. This tastes very mellow. I think it is a good thing. Xia Yin, why don't you introduce it to me?"

Xia Yin smiled and said, "This is Dahongpao. The price is about 1.5 US dollars for 50 grams. It is not very popular in the market. There is a price but no market."

Harden's hand holding the cup shook. Could it be that he just drank hundreds of dollars in one sip?Maybe more.

This is much more expensive than gold.

Adu quickly picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It felt a little bitter but left a fragrance on his lips and teeth, which gave him a special feeling.

"Is it so expensive?" Turtle also asked.

Allen explained, "Because this is a very valuable tea over there, and the output is very rare."

Xia Yin laughed loudly, "We are all brothers. I am very happy that you can come over. No matter how expensive it is, it is still a drink, so feel free to drink it."

Several people stopped talking.

Curry sipped the tea. He had just eaten a lot of vegetables. Now he drank a cup of hot tea and felt very comfortable in his stomach.

I sighed in my heart, the boss is so kind, I always think of them for all good things.

A few people were drinking tea and chatting, feeling quite inexplicable.

As we chatted, we talked about tomorrow's game, even the playoffs, and even our goals for this season.

Adu finally had a chance to speak. This dinner was quite frustrating for him, but he wanted to lose face. If someone invited him to a meal, he couldn't quarrel with the host, right?

"This season we are all about rushing up and going as far as we can until the end, and the Thunder are ready."

Turtle and Harden both agree with Adu's words. After several years of polishing, the Thunder have indeed the ability to stir up troubles.

Adu raised his eyebrows and said, "Xia Yin, your goal this season is just to enter the playoffs. Isn't this a bit simple? You are Xia Yin!"

Curry opened his mouth to refute Durant, but was interrupted by Xia Yin.

Xia Yin squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "The Warriors were just established and you have accumulated a large number of high-ranking players."

As soon as Xia Yin said this, Adu smiled instantly. Did you, Xia Yin, ever feel inferior?It’s really rare.

"But, with me here, I believe no one will underestimate the Warriors, and I also believe that my hand-picked teammates will bring surprises to this league."

Even Guigui laughed at these words, "Xia Yin, although your results at the start of the season are good, it will take a long time for the people on your team to practice and gain a foothold in the Western Conference." "To be honest. Yes, I still haven’t figured out why you did this. Doesn’t this make it more difficult for you to prove yourself?”

Turtle is outspoken and says whatever he has to say.

Xia Yin said quietly, "Life always requires challenges, and no one has ever done it? What's going on with the Pistons?"

"They won a championship by relying on defense. The Warriors also have the same opportunity, but they still rely on offense."

"Similarly, the Warriors, the Warriors, must have the courage to move forward and dare to try. Only those who find a new path in this way can achieve greater improvement in their historical status."

Xia Yin's words made Guigui fall into deep thought. He raised his head and extended his thumb to Xia Yin, "You are good, I admire you."

Adu replied bitterly, "I don't know what to do? How many seniors are pitiful to everyone, how special are you?"

"The enemy who is defeated by me will never be regarded as an opponent by me. There will only be one person in front of me, and that is only me."

Xia Yin glanced at Adu indifferently and said, "I'll give you time to catch up until you can't see me in the distance. Just wait and see!"

At this point, Turtle and Harden looked at each other, sighed at each other, and began to pinch each other again. It was obvious that Adu was very happy to hear that he was a guest, and now he is like this again.

After listening to Xia Yin's words, Adu's head shook, and he suddenly felt confused and a little angry.

But he was hurt.

"Well, Xia Yin, that's it for today. We're going back. When you go to Oklahoma, we'll treat you as a guest."

Guigui stood up and pulled Adu up again. Adu didn't hesitate at all. He was so embarrassed that he obeyed and got off the stairs.

Xia Yin said as he sent them out, "You have a good chance this season, but we are not jealous."

"Why don't we just see who can go further in the playoffs."

Durant became excited when he heard this, "It's a comparison, I still don't believe we can't beat the Warriors who rebuilt the team."

Turtle opened his mouth at the side, but didn't say anything.

Harden looked at this and that, and had various thoughts in his heart, but he was a good person and would not speak out easily.

"Let's wait and see!"

After seeing off a few people, Curry said behind him, "Boss, we must win tomorrow's game."

Shain patted him on the shoulder, "Then you should quickly lift the seal. I'm waiting for Stephen Curry to become a league superstar."

Allen smiled on the side, pulled Curry and walked out.

He suddenly felt a bit of pride in his heart. Speaking of his years in the NBA, except for his first year as a rookie, he has always been influenced by Xia Yin, but this also made him skyrocket.

He believes that the Thunder will suffer a big loss in tomorrow's game.

The next day, the game was held as normal.

Last night, Curry talked about the attitude of Durant and the Thunder in a small group of teammates, without Shayne.

Everyone attaches great importance to this game. After all, if Xia Yin wants to compete for the regular season MVP, he must suppress Durant and Rose.

Pekovic directly sent a message in the group, "Brothers, let the Thunder guys have a taste of our power tomorrow."

For a time, there was a hundred responses.

Pekovic is worthy of being a big brother, but he also admires Xia Yin. After all, Xia Yin really leads by example and teaches by words and deeds. He really has a leadership style and everyone is convinced.

After all, Xia Yin is only in his third year in the league.

The next day, before the game.

Everyone on the Warriors bench was eager to try, and they looked at each other with malicious eyes.

Xia Yin's inner peace is a good thing. Only the team in the group can burst out with powerful power.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors played a fast break. Curry handed the ball to Shain. Shain broke through with the ball, rushed into the paint, but made a back pass, and the basketball returned to Curry's hands again.

Durant was shown off. Curry jumped directly behind him and shot a three-pointer. The speed was so fast that Westbrook didn't even have time to react. The basketball had already fallen into the basket and he hit the three-pointer.

3:0
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook broke through with the ball, and Durant recruited from the outside. However, Turtle faced the inside of David Lee and DeAndre Jordan without any fear and rushed in.

Curry couldn't stop the extremely brave breakthrough, but no matter how bad it was, the Warriors' inside line wouldn't give him a chance and blocked Turtle's layup route.

Westbrook made a zombie jump shot. The basketball bounced twice on the rim and fell into the basket.

When Adu saw the ball scored, he didn't say anything. He had such a good opportunity just now. You pass the ball.

Although I can't defend Xia Yin, how much can he defend me?But the ball went in after all.

In the next round, Xia Yin held the ball from the outside and beat Adu in isolation. Without any hesitation, he continuously exchanged hands and dribbled, coupled with a back turn to pull back, opening up space, and shot a three-pointer directly.

Hit again, 6:2.

"I won't let you score so easily again."

Xia Yin ignored Adu's threat, "Then come and try. I'll wait for you."

Adu punched the cotton, and Adu was so angry that he reached for the ball and hit Xia Yin alone.

The height difference between the two is about 10cm. Adu must have lied about his height to avoid being assigned to the power forward position. This is an old-fashioned operation.

Adu's ball was open and closed, but he was really strong. He just found a little space and then directly faced Xia Yin and made a strong shot.

He has been trained in the past few years. Guys like him are historical scorers and are not so easy to defend.

Even though Xia Yin had tried very hard to influence the ball, the ball still bounced off the backboard and then fell into the basket obediently.

In the next round, Shain and Paul George ran a pick-and-roll, rushed inside and got an easy layup.

Adu looked gloomy on the side and couldn't defend himself. At most, they would blow each other up. Even if Xia Yin's hit rate was higher, the blows wouldn't work.

Xia Yin's explosive limit is really high and cannot continue like this.

The Thunder started to pick up the pace, which was exactly what Shain wanted.

Steal Westbrook with one hand and block Durant with the other.

Mistakes will increase as the speed increases. Warriors outsider Xia Yin covers the sky with one hand. This is his specialty.

Nelson and Cole were communicating on the bench, "If Yin wins the Defensive Player of the Year award again this summer, he must thank his outside teammates. He has too many opportunities to steal and block shots. He has to rush back first to defend against fast breaks, and even just Even the inside line needs him.”

Cole was also deeply moved, "Every second he spent on the court was not wasted, and he was always doing positive things."

Xia Yin didn't know this. He was just trying his best on the court. After all, the Warriors were weak.

The Warriors and him are like fish swimming upstream. Only by fighting for opportunities can they leap over the dragon's gate.
