v3 Chapter 955： True and false monkey king

"Tang has triple-doubles again! The ninth consecutive triple-double! Tied Chamberlain's three-double-history record!"

"What's weird about this, Tang is now equal to three doubles + winning. If you tell me one day Tang didn't get three doubles, that's the news!"

"It makes a lot of sense, I used to think that the triple double was difficult. It was really easy for Tang here!"

"This is probably the legendary skill! If I'm an opponent of the Pelicans, don't even think about winning, just think of a way to prevent Tang from getting a triple double!"

"Easy to say, it is impossible to stop Tang. You can only limit him, even pray that he feels bad. Whiteside is the lesson learned!"

"Speaking of Whiteside, it seems the Pelicans will play the Thunder next game, right? According to him, this is a showdown between the two 'brushes'?"

"Don't you say I didn't pay much attention, this time Don will play Westbrook! The confrontation between the two players who averaged three doubles!"

"The players who averaged three doubles per game broke the record of three consecutive doubles? This sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is exciting!"

"Westbrook is definitely not willing! He cares about this! He will come up with the status of a warrior before!"

...

The Pelicans and Thunder played three days later. Before that, the Thunder had a home game against the Magic.

The Magic now ranks second to last in the West and have long since retired from the playoffs, but they have been doing well these days, winning three of five games.

This situation was also reflected in the first half. At the end of the half, they led the Thunder 49-44.

Both teams have average touches, but Westbrook still scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first half.

In the second half, Westbrook's shooting percentage dropped, the Thunder only scored 16 points in a single quarter, and the Magic opened the whole line with 28 points, three points by the end of the lead 17 points.

Seeing that the Thunder was about to lose, it was Westbrook who stood out. He scored 22 points in a single quarter and made a steal before the end of the game.

After four quarters, Westbrook has scored 53 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

The two teams played equally in the regular season, but no one expected that the overtime game became Westbrook's performance.

He came up with two consecutive assists and a wave of 4 to 0, and he successfully won 50+ triple doubles.

After that, he scored 4 points in a row, expanding the lead to 8 points.

There is no suspense about the outcome, and fans are looking forward to Westbrook's impact on the 60+ triple double that Tang Tian has just set.

But unfortunately, the Magic don't want to be the background board like the Cavaliers. They worked very hard in the end and Westbrook failed to make consecutive shots.

In the end, the Thunder played a 10-0 overtime and defeated the Magic 112-102.

Westbrook's numbers are fixed at 57 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.

He failed to equalize or break Tang Tian's 60+ triple-double, but the 57-point triple-double was also terrifying.

And he made 21 of 42 shots in this game, shooting 50%, nearly 8 percentage points higher than the season.

Of course, more importantly, he led the team to complete a 17-point reversal.

This is without a doubt the strongest battle of his career.

The game played vigorously, and social media continued to talk after the game.

"50+ triple doubles for two people in one season! This is crazy!"

"I increasingly think that Whiteside is really bad at his head. Don and Westbrook's triple-double hits are more than 50%. What a special brush!"

"I think Westbrook must have been stimulated by Tang for three consecutive doubles, and I can see that he really cares about this season!"

"Do you care if you care, you can score 57 points and triple doubles, then the direct confrontation is not allowed to blow up ?!"

"I'm afraid that Mars will really touch the earth this next game!"

...

The fans' discussions have flown, and the media has not missed such excitement.

"True and false kings."

FOX Sports earned saliva just by being a news headline.

The two styles of Journey to the West have not yet started, but they first removed the true and false beauty monkey kings from Journey to the West.

However, such a title is indeed cruel enough, and everyone with a good eye knows that if you have to distinguish between true and false, Tang Tian must be true, and the fake is naturally Westbrook.

After all, the two teams are now on record.

In plain words, one is a triple-double that can win, and one is a triple-double that cannot win.

This news headline is the usual style of FOX, and it has completely raised the saliva of the fans on both sides.

Perhaps because the saliva was too much, the Thunder's training day was not open to the public on game day.

After the training, the team members rested in the locker room.

Westbrook's expression always looked serious.

He has a good relationship with Tang Tian, ​​but these descriptions and reports in the media have made him unhappy.

"Russell, you are real."

Adams on the side saw his expression and said.

Westbrook turned to look at him when he heard it.

"Tonight you will prove that you are real."

Adams repeated.

Westbrook's original serious expression suddenly smiled.

Durant's departure made him paranoid and turned into a data madman. He needs to use an average of three doubles per game to prove that the Thunder management finally left him most worthy.

But in some games, he will not do that, just like playing the Warriors before, he only wants to win.

And now to the Pelicans.

On the one hand, it is this kind of momentum of the media. Once he loses, he will be held in a false identity.

On the other hand, it's a more important part. If the Thunder finally reach the playoffs, the first round opponent is likely to be the Pelicans.

If they can win the current game, then when they really challenge the Pelicans as a challenger, they will have a great psychological advantage.

"Yes, I am."

He nodded after he laughed.

That night, the Thunder and Pelicans game started at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Attendance at the scene was full.

The direct confrontation between the two triple-double kings of the league is the night that Tang Tian can break the record of consecutive triple-doubles.

There is a gap in the strength of the two teams, but the excitement of the game must not be worse.

When warming up before the game, Tang Tian and Westbrook greeted him in the middle of the field.

The two met three years ago. The three-year All-Star Game has a better relationship each year, although they are not as close as the hard-working brothers, but they are also good friends.

This greeting is a routine business ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but the photographers on the scene will create an atmosphere. After the two of them say hello, he starts to cut the lens continuously.

The emotions of the fans at the scene were hung.

Obviously, Tang Tian and Westbrook are the protagonists tonight.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started one after another.

Here is the regular lineup for the Pelicans.

The Thunder had Westbrook and Oladipo outside, Robertson and Sabonis on the front, and Adams on the center.

The on-site photographer gave Tang Tian and Westbrook a split lens at this time.

Tang Tian calmly, Westbrook was serious.

In the cheers of many fans at the scene, the "identification" of the true and false Monkey King began immediately.
