After losing to the Cavaliers, there were many Thunder fans clamoring for trades and reinforcements in the future.

After all, they still believe in the methods of the Thunder management.

However, despite rumors flying all over the place, there was no official response from the Thunder.

In fact, there were meetings within the Thunder team.

They have also tried trading with other teams.

But other teams are not stupid, and their asking prices for those shooters are extremely high!

After some calculations, the Thunder management thought it would be better to look at the Development League and explore the team's potential.

Moreover, with the return of Zhou Si, the Thunder have returned to the winning streak, and all problems have been solved.

Among them, the most explosive performance was Durant who was in great form during the Christmas game.

In the next half month, Durant averaged 40.2 points in 8 games!

Of course, it's because everyone on the Thunder team is doing the ball, but Durant himself is also in really good shape.

"This guy's condition is a bit like Kobe's.

Averaging 40 points in 8 consecutive games is really crazy!

KD is fully capable of leading the MVP race!

The Rockets have 8 wins and 0 losses in the past eight games, and the person who supports the whole team is KD."

"Thunder fans: Durant is playing crazy right now."

"Nets fans: KD is really difficult to defend with his mixed skill package.

There are three-pointers, mid-range and breakthroughs.

It’s really hard to defend people!”

"Lakers fans: He is really unstoppable and unstoppable.

You feel like you know what he's going to do, but he still scores."

"Trail Blazers fans: Someone can guard him, but that person is now his teammate!"

"Hahahaha! It's so true!"

"Trail Blazers fans: Although Durant is eye-catching, Zhou is also shining!

Without Zhou’s interior defense and rebounding, even if KD maintains this scoring momentum, it would be difficult to achieve such results in leading the team!”

"Yes, Zhou has proven that he is a monster inside!

He is the first person in NBA history who can be called outstanding from position one to position five!"

Then, in an interview with reporters, Durant responded to the statement that the team needs to trade.

"We don't need to trade!"

…

During a winning streak, with an official piece of news from the Thunder, they once again returned to the forefront.

“After discussions between us and @Cousins, he will return against the Warriors on January 18th!

The strongest signing!"

The league's No. 1 team adds another All-Star?

What else to fight?

On the Internet, fans are quarreling again!

"Warriors fans: I thought the All-Star Game was in February!"

"So we should be honored to see four All-Stars playing on the same team!

The brave man trembles!"

"Thompson of the Warriors shows no fear!"

"The Thunder are starting their own tour starting in Golden State."

"Warriors fans: Damn it, what is supposed to come will come after all."

"Cavaliers fans: This day comes so fast."

"Raptors fans: Glad to know this news and wish all teams good luck in the 2020 season."

"Hahaha!

And then another All-Star joins the Thunder in the 2020 season?"

“No no no!

It was Zhou who brought KD back to the Trail Blazers!"

"Uh...the Blazers' contract is going to blow up!

But the lineup of Lillard + Oladipo + Durant + Zhou + Jokic directly won 82 games!"

"Absolute victory in 82 games!

Who can beat them?"

"Okay, so there are only 10 days left in the NBA season.

Directly GG next season?

Let’s fast forward to 2021!”

"I already knew this day would come, why am I still angry?"

"It's like Thanos snapping his fingers. We all want to stop it but there's nothing we can do."

Donovan: "Emmm..."

If I look at playing against the Warriors, let Cousins ​​come back and limit Love."

"Thunder hates Warriors the most as if they were stone hammers."

"It's all because of KD."

"Lakers fans: We are going to be blown away!

It’s a pity that those of us with purple-gold blood don’t allow ourselves to be ruined!”

"Imagine Cousins ​​being able to guard the paint with Zhous on the defensive end or building a defensive net inside and outside.

On the offensive end, the shooting in the low post blossomed!"

"Be afraid of him, avoid him, and Cousins ​​will still come back..."

…

The Thunder were originally preparing to welcome Cousins ​​with a wave of consecutive victories, but unexpectedly and reasonably, they suffered their fourth loss of the season.

It was a game between the Thunder and the Spurs at home on the 11th.

Before the game, although the old Spurs were in good shape this season and had defeated strong opponents, not many people were optimistic about them.

Who would have known that it would be this silver-gray army that ended the Thunder's winning streak.

In fact, there are many reasons why the media are not optimistic about the Spurs besides the strength of the Thunder.

First of all, the Spurs, who had won six consecutive victories, did not perform well in the last game.

In the game against the Grizzlies, although the Spurs limited the Grizzlies' scoring to 96 points, they completely collapsed on the offensive end, with the team shooting only 36.1%!

They only scored 11 points in the second quarter, and the Spurs only scored 26 points in the entire first half, setting a season low for halftime scoring.

In addition to the poor state of the Spurs team, there is another important reason why the media is not optimistic about the Spurs.

That is that they are really not good at playing back-to-back games.

This season they only have a record of 1 win and 7 losses in the second game of back-to-back games.

The only good thing is that the Spurs' home record this season is pretty good. Their current home record is 18 wins and 4 losses.

However, this is the interesting thing about basketball. No matter how much you analyze, you will never know what will happen if you haven't played it.

After the opening, the Thunder seized the opportunity to take the lead, but Aldridge helped the Spurs take the lead through consecutive singles.

In terms of stability and reticence, Ade is really similar to Duncan!

Then, although the Thunder continued to counterattack, Belinelli on the Spurs' side scored three three-pointers that Popovich didn't like to help the Spurs take a 10-point lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Spurs substitutes scored three-pointers. After that, Zhou Si and Durant jointly launched a counterattack to narrow the point difference. In the first half, the Thunder trailed the Spurs 63 to 70.

In the second half, Aldridge once again exerted his efforts to help the Spurs gain a double-digit lead. Since then, the two sides have been in a stalemate, with the point difference remaining at around 10 points.

In the last quarter, with Zhou Si tumbling inside, the Thunder slowly tied the score. At the critical moment, although Aldridge scored 10 points in a row, Zhou Si followed up with hits one after another. At the last moment, Zhou Si turned over and made a fadeaway jumper to help.

The Thunder dragged the game into overtime.

However, what both parties did not expect was that they...

What is going to be played is not overtime.

In the first overtime, both sides chased each other, but the game was still tied.

In the second overtime, Aldridge continued to play bravely, and the Thunder's Durant missed a key three-pointer. In the end, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Thunder 158 to 156!
Chapter completed!
