"Although Perkins' contract is not big, only 8 million, but after Durant and Westbrook received the maximum salary, the Thunder team does not have much salary space left!"

Yu Jia talked eloquently.

“The boss doesn’t want to pay the luxury tax, so one of Harden or Ibaka must leave!

Of the two, Harden is the better player, but Ibaka has lower salary requirements and is more difficult to replace in terms of functionality.

We all know the next story. Harden went to Houston and Westbrook was injured last season.

Hey, this is the tragedy of small cities!"

"Teacher Yu Jia, what do you think of tonight's game?"

"Although I am also a fan of Xiao Zhou and may surpass Durant in the future, but I think Durant is the better player now!

And the Thunder are the better team!

Therefore, the Thunder has a higher probability of winning this game.

Moreover, this season Durant always has a murderous look in his eyes and has been called the Grim Reaper by many fans!

He wants to prove himself at all costs and will definitely go all out to defeat the Trail Blazers tonight!"

Ke Fan next to him had a look of helplessness on his face~

Teacher Yu Jia, don’t be so rational!

Just brag about Xiao Zhou and that's it. Fans love to hear this!

…

The scene has entered the opening ceremony stage.

Every Trail Blazers player was booed when he came on the field, and Zhou Si was the worst among them.

And what about our classmate Xiao Zhou?

He smiled and opened his arms in a hug, as if he didn't know what fear was?

Maybe he was confusing boos with cheers again?

The Thunder players came out with much more momentum than the Trail Blazers!

The fans cheered much louder than usual!

Especially when Durant appeared on the court, the huge noise of the fans seemed to summon the boundless thunder to transform into a battlefield where the God of Death wields his scythe!

The Trail Blazers' starting five has not changed, they are still: Zhou Si, Lillard, Matthews, Millsap and Pekovic!

For the Thunder: Point guard: Westbrook, shooting guard: Sefolosha, small forward: Durant, power forward: Ibaka, center: Perkins.

On the court, Durant seemed to have completely entered the "god of death" state, and said coldly to Zhou Si:

"Zhou, although I admire you very much, I will not hold back on this game!"

"Well, I will do my best too!"

Zhou Si replied seriously!

He feels a little excited now!

Standing in front of him is one of the players with the strongest scoring ability in NBA history. He is the best whetstone to test his defensive strength. Besides, he also has a reason to go all out!

In front of the TV, many fans were also staring at the TV attentively. They had drawn this game on the schedule a long time ago!

1vs35!

The sharpest spear vs the strongest shield!

The Trail Blazers’ ten-game winning streak!

The Thunder’s battle to claim the top spot in the Western Conference!

There are really countless things to see!

At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, with a whistle, the referee threw the basketball into the air, and the game officially began!

Pekovic easily returned the basketball to half court.

Although the "Big White Bear"'s bounce is average, it is still much better than Perkins, who can only jump ten centimeters.

The boos at the scene were deafening!

Farke, we KD haven’t challenged you yet, how dare you, a rookie, take the initiative!

"Defense! OKC!"

"Defense! OKC!"

"Defense! OKC!"

Amid the uniform and shocking roars of Thunder fans, Zhou Si dribbled the ball to the top of the center arc!

Zhou Si also knows that challenging KD alone is not the best choice, but...

…

"What the hell? Limit Durant's scoring to less than 10 points?"

Zhou Si was also a little speechless when he received the system's real-time task last night.

Because they had to play the Grizzlies back-to-back after beating the Thunder, Zhou Si also voted in favor when the coach suggested that they conserve their energy for this game against the Thunder and go all out for the next game against the Grizzlies.

The regular season is so long, there are many trade-offs to be made, which is why it is so rare to have a long winning streak in the NBA.

Although Zhou Si didn't want to lose in this game, he was prepared to listen to the coach's arrangements, and he planned to put the showdown with Durant in the future.

It was an away game, back-to-back, and Zhou Si also knew that the coach's arrangement was correct.

However, when Zhou Si turned his attention back to the mission, he didn't realize how terrifying the desire to win in his eyes was!

…

"This is not a good choice!"

Even Barkley is not optimistic about Zhou Si challenging Durant.

"Yes, although Durant is sometimes soft, he is never a loophole on the defensive end!"

Kenny Smith continued.

"In the past few games, Zhou's scores have hit new lows. Maybe he wants to prove himself in a hurry."

Kenny Smith is right. After other teams figured out Zhou Si's playing style in the past few games, many teams chose to strangle Zhou Si's three-pointers and baskets. Zhou Si's scoring became more and more popular.

The lower.

Although Zhou Si's three-point ability value has been rising and he can forcefully score points, he did not choose to do so. Instead, he chose defense and support to win the game!

Score?

It doesn't matter!

Just win, and...

My goal is to be the best defensive player!

…

At the top of the arc in the middle, Zhou Si dribbled the ball and looked at Durant, who was lowering his center of gravity.

Haha, everyone thinks I’m here to score, right?

Boom, boom, boom!

Without any warning, after his teammates opened up the space, Zhou Si rushed straight towards Durant!

The momentum is like a male lion pounces on his prey!

It doesn't look like it's for a breakthrough at all, but like...

Play with your opponent like a pet?

snort!

Do you really think I'm easy to bully?

Durant adjusted his position!

Although in the eyes of the world Durant is only a scoring killer, he is also very confident in defense!

"Boom!"

A loud sound of muscle collision resounded throughout the audience!

Durant directly used his body to interrupt Zhou Si's breakthrough rhythm. He is not a weakling like Parsons.

On the court, Zhou Si did not stop the ball, but took advantage of the situation and turned sharply to the right, like a vigorous cheetah, passing Durant cleanly!

"Fake!"

Durant endured the pain in his chest and quickly pursued the defense!

This kid is really going all out!
