"666666! Brothers! Slogan! Lakers championship!"

"Is this year's playoffs so exciting? The Lakers overturned the Thunder as soon as they started! The following is a mistake!"

"Lin Tian's desperate three-pointer delayed Kobe's retirement battle!"

"To be honest, I think the Thunder have the potential to compete for the championship this year, but they actually fell in the first round? It's unbelievable!"

"Lin Tianzhen really performed superbly! Durant was eclipsed in front of him!"

"I thought Lin Tian was invincible enough in the regular season. Who knew that the playoffs would be his real stage!"

"As a fan of Durant, my mother's mood is really mixed right now!"

"Brothers! I have a hunch that Durant will leave the Thunder this summer!"

…

"Ahhhh! Oh my God! I've been promoted! I've been promoted!"

Xiaoxue threw away the pillow in excitement and kissed Lan Lan heavily on the cheek again and again.

She never dreamed that the Lakers would defeat the Thunder, which ranked third in the Western Conference.

Lan Lan finally pushed Xiaoxue away, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaoxue! Can't you be more ladylike? If you win, you win!"

"Do you know what a buzzer beater in the tiebreaker means? The opponent is the Thunder with twin stars!"

"I don't know. I just know that today's game looked really enjoyable. Even though I haven't watched much football, I'm very excited."

"Hey! I won't tell you anymore! I have to write an article quickly!"

…

Pisacek Energy Center Arena.

Everything has settled, and it seems like it never started.

Durant, wearing jersey No. 35, is still standing where he was defending Lin Tian just now.

He looked forward with a slightly dull look, as if he was still immersed in Lin Tian's goal just now, and was out of tune with the people around him.

Yin Baka next to Durant kept shaking his head and mumbling something.

Westbrook vented his anger on the basketball. He picked up the ball and slammed it to the ground, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction.

After a long while, Westbrook seemed to remember something, walked up to Durant who was in a daze, and gently patted Durant on the shoulder: "KD, our luck is so bad.

Let’s fight again next season!”

Durant seemed not to have heard what Westbrook said, his face remained expressionless.

Just when he was about to leave the arena, he remembered that he had not congratulated the Lakers, so he walked towards Kobe with complicated emotions.

After briefly congratulating the Lakers players, the dejected Durant silently walked to the locker room.

The players' tunnel was lined with home fans.

Although they were extremely dissatisfied with the team's performance today, they were very fond of Durant who played the whole game and shouted to Durant from time to time:

"KD! You've tried your best! We all see it! It's not your fault!"

"KD! Let's fight again next year!"

"We are still young! We have a lot of opportunities!"

Durant just lowered his head. He did not high-five the fans who encouraged him, and he did not even dare to look into the eyes of the fans who had favored him for nine years.

When the Chinese rookie hit that fatal three-pointer, Durant knew it was time to leave.

…

Although it was not at the Staples Center, the entire Lakers team celebrated on the court for five minutes.

Kobe kept repeating one sentence to Lin Tian: "I knew you wouldn't let me retire tonight!"

After returning to the locker room, Lin Tian was doused with water by his teammates again.

Nick Young also picked up his phone and took a few videos.

He didn't forget to show off his serve, taking a selfie and saying: "Guys! I don't need to say much about my serve, right?"

Howard smiled and said: "Come on! Nick! Stop putting gold on your face, haha!"

"Hey hey hey! Dwight, if you were in charge of serving, I dare say you wouldn't even be able to serve."

"Who said that? It's just a serve! Isn't it a simple matter?"

Lin Tian didn't want to listen to their bickering. After he finished changing his shoes, he had time to look at tonight's data sheet.

Unexpectedly, tonight he unknowingly scored 50 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, 3 blocks and 6 turnovers.

Such data can no longer be described with just the word almighty.

The best player for the Thunder today was undoubtedly Durant. His statistics were 39 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 5 turnovers.

Lin Tian and Durant both played more than 40 minutes.

Tonight, it would be no exaggeration to describe them as giving everything they had.

But lady luck is on the Lakers' side.

I don't know who it was who suddenly joked: "Haha! KD almost cried after being beaten tonight!"

Lin Tian then remembered that the Thunder in his previous life reached the Western Conference Finals this season and almost overturned the Warriors!

But after all, they still led 3:1, but were overturned by the Warriors.

Durant was so sad that he left the Thunder directly.

In this life, the Thunder were overturned by the weaker Lakers! Durant's departure is probably even more inevitable.

But whether Durant will go to the Warriors will be a big question mark.

Because Lin Tian believes that they now have the qualifications to challenge the Warriors!

The post-match interview lasted for more than an hour.

When Lin Tian, ​​Kobe, and Howard returned to the locker room, other Lakers players were still waiting for them in the locker room.

Although it was getting late, Bass Jr., who was far away in Los Angeles just now, still called and said that he would treat them to a supper tonight and he would pay for it.

Although everyone is not short of money, no one will refuse if they can give the boss a meal.

So, after the players left the Pisacek Energy Center, they went straight to one of the most expensive restaurants in Oklahoma City.

They spent $100,000 in one night, mostly on drinks.

When we got back to the hotel, it was already 4 o'clock in the morning.

Lin Tian was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed without taking a shower.

The next morning, Lin Tian rarely got up too early.

According to the team's arrangement, they will fly to Los Angeles at two o'clock this afternoon, so there is no need to rush.

Only then did he turn on his mobile phone.

Last night, even if he went to the Western restaurant, he didn't have time to check the time.

As he expected, there were many unread messages on his phone, including messages from Sistine.

Sistine: Oh my god! What an amazing night! Lin! Congratulations on making it to the Western Conference Semifinals! I'm so proud of you!

Lin Tian: Thank you! Sistine, I’m sorry, I was too tired last night and didn’t look at my phone.

Two minutes later, Sistine responded.
Chapter completed!
