Chapter 183 183. Victory over the Warriors Again (for subscription)
Donovan, who was about to get up and leave, was stunned, but Li Cha actually said that he had an idea.
Although this second-year rookie is very mature and plays very steadily, he can also play some famous games in the second year of entering the league and successfully enter the All-Star Game starting, but the overall situation will be good?
Even the No. [-] pick like Magic Johnson who can act as the court commander as soon as he enters the league does not see how good he is. There is also the eternal god Jordan. They are the general manager and the owner, but the team has not made progress.
Can you have Li Cha?
"Billy, the selection of the draft at that time was the conclusion I got after asking Lee." Westbrook saw Donovan's hesitation.
Can this be said?Li Cha's heart was a little cold at this moment.
Sell teammates!
If Allen was not selected in the draft but Ferguson was selected normally, then there would be no worries about the backup of shooting guards now.
Ferguson is conscientious and diligent. After Robertson was injured, Ferguson was pushed into the starting lineup, and he has shown the strength of a qualified role player this season and the next season.
Speaking of the draft at this time, Westbrook, do you want Donovan to hate Li Cha to death?
It can be seen that after hearing Westbrook's words at this time, Donovan's expression was a little rich.
In the end it was calm.
"Li, tell me what you think." Did Donovan's seemingly calm tone contain a lot of killing intent?
Li Cha only felt a chill down his spine.
It's not because the temperature in the arena is low after sweating.
"I think the team's problem is not just the shooting guard's backup position, but also the power forward position."
Li Cha's speech first avoided Donovan's question and raised another question.
"Jerami has not yet become a consistent and reliable starter."
After Grant was forced into the starting power forward, he has averaged only 5.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game so far, and Grant does not have a stable three-pointer, and his size cannot always stay in the paint.
It's just because the Thunder's role players and substitutes have almost such data, it seems that the problem is not very prominent.
But think about it seriously, although Adams scored less than 10 points, he has close to 10 rebounds, especially the offensive rebounds in the league.
Robertson is a second defense player, needless to say his contribution to the team.
Although Grant scored similar points, he didn't play a similar role, which made him look a lot weaker.
Donovan was silent for a long time. It's not that he didn't notice this problem, but one more thing is worse than one less thing. Donovan wanted to solve one by one. When Li Cha raised this question, Donovan had to think about it.
"go on."
"The team needs to introduce role player power forward and backup shooting guard at the same time. I think of a team."
"In my impression, no team is selling players for these two positions at the same time." Donovan blinked, and quickly straightened out the players currently on the shelves of each team.
Not putting it on the shelves doesn't mean not selling it.
"The Lakers!" Li Cha didn't go around the bush, and expressed his opinion very directly. Of course, there are some things that need to find more plausible reasons.
"The Lakers?" Even Westbrook and George didn't understand why Li Cha said that.
The Lakers have been rebuilding for many years in a row and won several second picks. Now the team is full of young people and they are all being cultivated. How could they easily sell the future.
Unless it has been determined that there is no cultivation value.
Think about it, Randall, Ingram, Larry Nance Jr., Ball, Kuzma, Pope, Clarkson...all very young.
"The Lakers will not sell their young players." Donovan also has this concept.
"Maybe." Li Cha shrugged, "They only sent Russell to the Nets during the offseason."
"I'm not talking about you, Russell." One is the surname and the other is the first name. Li Cha and Russell are not familiar with each other, so naturally they say the surname, while Westbrook in front of him usually calls by his first name.
Westbrook nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.
In this way, the Lakers are not all not for sale.
Donovan decided to think about this issue seriously after he got down, and now let Li Cha finish, "Continue."
"Yesterday's game against the Lakers started with this year's rookie Kuzma." Li Cha turned around again, guiding everyone to think from the side.
Use events to prove the idea, otherwise why would I think so, if everyone thinks so, then it is a matter of course.
The other three nodded at the same time.
"Kuzma is really good as a starter. He is handsome and capable of playing. Then Randall will not be able to keep his starting position with the Lakers." Li Cha also specially emphasized handsome.
Westbrook and George, who don't care about gossip, may not be able to hear it, but head coach Donovan, who must understand everything and analyze human nature and psychology, may not be able to hear it.
"Brewer has almost no chance in the Lakers. Presumably the Lakers should buy it out."
The Brewer mentioned by Li Cha is Corey Brewer, who used to be a member of the Rockets' leading team. Although he looks thin, he has good physical strength, strong will, and can defend and shoot. In fact, Donovan is also considering this matter.
If the Lakers buy out Brewer, Donovan will definitely ask Presti to sign him with a minimum salary immediately.
But if Brewer of more than 600 million plus a Randall of more than 400 million, a big contract can be balanced.
A big contract that wants to be dumped.
Li Cha knew who the big contract was, but he couldn't say.
If you say it, it will appear that you are too selfish and don't talk about brotherhood.
Whoever the team wants to introduce can provide advice and suggestions, but whoever needs to be expelled and traded is not a deep hatred or it is better not to speak.
When Li Cha mentioned Brewer's name, Donovan accepted Li Cha's idea. If he could think of one place to explain the same concept in the team's employment, then another player, even if he didn't think of it at the moment, must be similar.
Sometimes persuading people is as simple as that.
Donovan, who was silent for a long while, nodded and stood up, "I have received all your opinions, so I will leave first, and you can arrange your own time."
Westbrook was thoughtful, and George had a question mark on his face.
The news of today's All-Star Weekend continues to be an injured replacement.
Brogdon partially tore the quadriceps tendon in his left leg and will miss 6-8 weeks of the game. He will not be able to play in the All-Star Rookie Challenge. Torreon Prince from the Eagles will replace Brogdon as a member of the US team to participate in the challenge.
Aaron Gordon withdrew from the slam dunk contest due to a sprained left hip flexor, Mitchell replaced him, and Mitchell originally participated in the skill challenge, and Hilde participated in the skill challenge.
Porzingis tore the ligament in his left knee and was reimbursed for the season after undergoing surgery. He also missed this year's All-Star game, including the skills challenge and the main game.The league designated Walker to replace Porzingis in the All-Star Game and Drummond to replace him in the Skills Challenge.
Are you sure Drummond will shoot threes?
It's just a feeling right now, this year's All-Stars are really messed up!
On February 2, the Thunder challenged the Warriors away.
The last time the Warriors lost to the Thunder at home, it was mainly because Durant, Green and others underestimated the enemy, and Thompson had no touch. Not only did he lose, but he was also beaten in three quarters.
This time when he came to the Warriors' home court, Durant tried his best to get back to the field.
In the first quarter, Durant scored 7 points on 5 of 17 shots.
But in front of him was an invincible turtle.
威斯布鲁克面对杜兰特从来不知道什么叫退缩，你强那我就比你更强，威斯布鲁克11投9中单节拿下21分3篮板4助攻。
Leading the team to win as many as 42 points with 30:12.
In one game, the data of many players in one game is played, and the efficiency is still so high, which can only show the excitement of this pk.
李茶躲在一旁输送炮弹，4投2中拿到5分3助攻。乔治拿到7分。
In the second quarter, both Durant and Westbrook were tired from playing, and there was no way to continue such a terrible confrontation.
Durant relied on impact to make kills and got 8 free throws, and then the only time he missed a three-pointer and scored 7 points.
Thompson took the offensive baton and made 3 of 2 three-pointers and scored 8 points.
Without Robertson, Li Cha had already tried his best to defend, and there was no way to restrict it well.
But Li Cha also took over the offensive ball from Westbrook and scored 6 points on 5 of 10 shots. George also scored 5 points again.
The two teams were almost tied in the second quarter, 28:27.
After winning 13 points in the first half, the morale of the Thunder was revived and became vigorous.
On the other hand, the Warriors fell again for unknown reasons.
Although Curry launched a counterattack, Durant also scored 9 points again, but other than that, the other Warriors players were unwilling to even shoot the ball, and only made 15 of 6 shots in one quarter.
The Thunder seized the opportunity to bloom more points, especially George scored the highest hit and scored 10 points, Li Cha and Westbrook scored 7 points each.
The single quarter once again led the Warriors by 28 points at 20:8.
After three quarters, the Warriors lost again by 21 points, and were once again beaten in three quarters.
I don't know what Cole is thinking, but Durant must be very depressed anyway, and he missed the game in the fourth quarter, sitting on the sidelines and looking at his teammates on the field bitterly.
Westbrook was also absent, and George and Li Cha continued to maintain a high field goal output, scoring another 4 points in the 15 minutes before the Warriors surrendered.
The Thunder only scored 8 points in the remaining 11 minutes of garbage time.
At 124:105, the Thunder finally won 19 points to take away the second victory against the Warriors.
虽然杜兰特有33分6篮板的出色表现，但是威斯布鲁克的32分9篮板9助攻准三双无疑更加漂亮。
乔治也得到了30分6篮板，李茶29分3篮板6助攻的表现也同样全面。
The Thunder's record has also reached 40 wins and 15 losses, temporarily ranking third in the Western Conference. The Rockets have a 0.5 win advantage in three games less, and the Warriors have a 1.5 win advantage in one game less.
