Start without the ball

Chapter 284

Khelcey Barrs III - Westbrook's best friend.

A gifted young boy, Bals was once known as the No. [-] high school student in the United States. Unfortunately, he went to heaven.

On that day, Westbrook grew from a 15-year-old youthful and ignorant basketball boy to a real man who shouldered the hopes of his best friends.

Westbrook shouldered the dreams of two people at the same time.Westbrook on the court has two souls, one is Westbrook and the other is KB3.

But the simple Westbrook in the spotlight also lost his day. The departure of Kevin Durant caused heavy losses to the Thunder. Westbrook struggled to lead the team to the playoffs. drifting away.

Westbrook's talent is beyond doubt, but the championship is like a distant star in the sky, elusive.

Outstanding talent makes him unwilling to be ordinary, and he will definitely leave a strong mark in the league. In the end, Westbrook found his way to prove himself---data.

Triple-doubles, large triple-doubles, and consecutive triple-doubles, this once became the meaning of his game.

During this period, the Thunder traded Carmelo Anthony and Paul George. The combination of the three shocked the league.

However, in the playoffs, the Thunder with the Big Three was swept out by the Utah Jazz, which made Westbrook sink deeper and deeper on the data road. He forgot his once lofty goal, and he forgot the basketball dream that his best friend could not achieve.

The Thunder players compromised with him, the coach compromised with him, and even the management team compromised with him. No one came forward to criticize his actions.

And now, Li Haoyu did it.

He mercilessly accused Westbrook in front of all the Thunder players.

When the three simple letters KB3 come together, it has a very important meaning to Westbrook.

He knew that he had lost, not to Li Haoyu, who was in front of him who was about to confront him head-on, but to himself!

He forgot the championship dream that his best friend could not achieve.

This is an unforgivable mistake!
Westbrook once wanted to hold the trophy in his arms, pointing his finger to the sky, and fulfilling the dream for his best friend.

But, what has he done all these years!
Anger, remorse, and emotions flooded into his heart like a flood, and the iron-blooded Westbrook, who was as resolute as iron, could no longer hold on.

He rushed out the door and walked all the way to the door of the training hall.

Amidst lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down.

Westbrook stood at the entrance of the arena, letting the raindrops hit him frantically.

A trace of bitter crystals slipped from Westbrook's cheeks.

On May 5, a large number of Thunder fans wearing blue jerseys gathered outside the Pisacek Energy Center, and they chanted the slogan "Thunder up".

Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals is about to start here tonight, and TNT has arranged for O'Neill and Barkley to be the commentators tonight.

O'Neal: "In the last game, the defending champions recovered their invincible and smooth offense, and the extreme rotation on the defensive end also put a lot of pressure on the Thunder. Facing such a strong opponent, the Oklahoma City team won the playoffs. Losing for the first time since, they have to adjust."

Barkley: "I heard that the Thunder players held an internal meeting the afternoon before yesterday, and they tried to solve the problem."

O'Neill: "When I was in the Lakers, as long as there was a meeting like this, I would have a big fight with that stubborn guy. In the end, we all played the game with anger, and the opponent was very miserable. I don't know the meeting of the Thunder. how's it going."

Barkley: "The gossip said that Russell did not participate in the team training yesterday morning, but he was not absent in the afternoon training. I can't wait for the game to start."

After a full stretching preparation, everyone in the Thunder returned to the locker room under the leadership of Donovan to make final preparations.

Everyone in the locker room looked serious. Donovan didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing when he saw the thunder.

"The last game was a wake-up call that the sleeping Jaguar has woken up.

Today, we returned to the familiar home court and the familiar locker room. We still have 2 fans cheering for us on the sidelines. We will do our best to win this game! "

Felton stood up, raised his right hand, and everyone gathered "one two three"

"Thunder!"

Roaring out the team name in unison, all members of the Thunder walked out of the locker room, and the entire Warriors team had already entered the arena amidst boos all over the sky.

The lights of the Pisacek Energy Center dimmed, and a beam of bright spotlights shone on Thunder's channel, and everyone appeared on the stage amidst DJ's heroic introduction.

When Grant finished his appearance, the DJ said in a loud voice with a long drag:
"Upcoming is the champion of the three-point shooting contest, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, the MVP of the All-Star, from the University of Pennsylvania, our hopeful star Li! Hao! Yu!"

Huaguo Li!Huaguo Li!Huaguo Li!
Amidst the rhythmic shouts of the fans, Li Haoyu stepped onto the battlefield tonight.

George came on stage later, the DJ paused for a few seconds, and the cheers of the fans reached their peak.

"Use your warmest shouts to welcome our MVP, who has averaged triple-double historical data for three consecutive seasons, Russell Westbrook from UCLA!"

Today's Westbrook didn't scream or run excitedly. From the moment he stepped on the court, his eyes were always gazing at Stephen Curry on the opposite side of the court!

Westbrook's eyes made Curry feel creepy. He felt like a prey in Westbrook's mouth, and he would be torn to pieces at any time.

Fortunately, everyone has finished their appearance, and the ceremony will soon end.

A few minutes later, players from both sides returned to the bench to make final preparations. When Westbrook turned and walked to the bench, Curry was relieved. He never wanted to be stared at by Westbrook again.

Steve Kerr said impassionedly: "We showed enough dominance in the last game, and we also need to be aggressive in this game.

According to the arrangement before the game, we must keep an eye on Li. As long as we can limit the off-ball movement of the Huaguo defender, the victory of this game will definitely belong to us!

Remember, you are a united team, you have an invincible offensive, and you have a solid defense line like a copper wall. Today, in the Thunder's territory, we must turn the host and tell them that this league is still controlled by our warriors ! "

Cole observed the player's state, and he found that his favorite Stephen Curry was a little absent-minded.

"what happened to you?"

"Coach, I'm fine, but Russell is a little different today."

Cole: "Don't worry about it, he has no shooting ability. Even if he breaks into the inside or hits low, we have excellent defensive rotation to deal with it! He is nothing to worry about. What we have to worry about now is Lee!"

Tengxing commentary seat.

Ke Fan: "G3 of the Western Conference finals is about to start, and who will win is still unknown. It's really exciting!"

Yang Yi: "On one side is the awakened league king, and on the other side is the energetic upstart on the court. I can't wait!"
