This Forward is Not Serious

118 to 88.

The Nets finally defeated the Bucks in their home opener.

Antetokounmpo played well, scoring 27 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in three quarters. Especially in the first quarter, he scored 15 points in a single quarter, which was eye-catching.

Or, according to Durant, he played like a Spartan warrior.

Although in the end, just like the hero of the story, King Leodani of Sparta, he died a clean death.

In the last quarter, Antetokounmpo sat on the sidelines for the entire quarter, and his mood was extremely low.

After all, with Scott's encouragement, he mustered up the courage to face the enemy, but the final result was a blow to the head.

After the game, both sides shook hands.

"Hey! Giannis, have you heard the story of the 300 Spartans?"

Durant suddenly spoke while shaking hands with Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo looked stunned. He didn't know how Durant knew the content of his chat with Scott.

Did this guy install a listening device on himself?

"You fight like a Spartan."

What Durant said next made him feel a lot better.

The recognition from an opponent, especially a superstar like Durant, is very satisfying.

"Although he died like a Spartan warrior."

But what Durant said next made him freeze on the spot.

Lin Ying on the side was stunned for a moment.

Durant is a bit of a loser this time.

Fortunately, it's Antetokounmpo. If it's Green, he has to fight him.

"Why don't you ask me why I said that?"

On the way back to the locker room after the handshake ceremony, Durant smiled and spoke to Lin Ying.

"That's what you would do."

Lin Ying replied calmly.

Durant now feels more and more that Durant has a tendency to bring network keyboards into reality.

"Have it?"

"There's none?"

Durant was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"But this time I have an idea. I want Giannis to work harder. After all, we rely on him to maintain our status in the first round."

This time it was Lin Ying's turn to be stunned.

He didn't expect that Durant would even consider this.

This is his contempt for Durant.

However, Durant doesn't know Antetokounmpo well enough.

With this Giannis mentality, if Antetokounmpo goes dark, he will really step on their feet, and they will be the ones who suffer in the end.

Although Durant has experience, this thing is just like the offense and defense in a basketball game. Defense is always passive, after all, it is impossible to defend against.

"Kevin, stop doing that, have you forgotten why Draymond is so annoying?"

Lin Ying did not say it directly, but asked in a different way.

Durant also slapped his head after hearing this.

Maybe the game has been too easy this season, and he didn't even realize it.

"I see."

He nodded.

After all, you don’t have to rely on your opponent to maintain the intensity of the game. You can do it with more practice.

…

"Matthew, don't do that dangerous move you did last."

In the Bucks locker room, Antetokounmpo sat next to Dellavedova and said.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Dellavedova made a very bad move. When Nene was picking up the ball, he was lying on the ground and directly clamped Nene's legs with his legs. Let Nene lose center of gravity.gif.

Thanks to Nene's quick enough reaction to put her hands on the ground in time, otherwise she might have been injured.

"Don't you want to win?"

But what he didn't expect was that Dellavedova asked him directly.

"Of course I want to win!"

Antetokounmpo immediately raised his voice, which immediately attracted a burst of glances from other teammates.

"But not in this way, we must be fair and honest and use our strength to defeat them!"

It can be seen from the fact that he sent money to his family without leaving any money, that Antetokounmpo is originally a kind-hearted person;

From the fact that Scott used 300 Warriors to encourage Antetokounmpo, we can see that Antetokounmpo met a very positive coach.

When these factors come together, Antetokounmpo is destined to be such a person now, and he hopes to win fair and aboveboard.

But Dellavedova's next words made him freeze on the spot and fell into a very long period of silence.

"Is that possible?"

What is soul torture?

Just like when you tell someone that you are determined to marry Liu Yifei as your wife, and then someone asks the same question as Dellavedova:

"Is that possible?"

Antetokounmpo wanted to say that of course it was possible, but it was so powerless to say this after a tragic defeat.

And that's after he's already played so well.

To put it in a bad way, the Bucks and Nets are like children fighting with adults. No matter how courageous you are, you can't change the strength gap between the two.

Unless, like Dellavedova is doing now, some dirty tricks are used.

For example, give an adult a crotch attack, such as a hard bite somewhere.

"No, then we won't get the glory if we win. I won't do that."

Antetokounmpo said in a very determined tone.

After saying that, he stopped communicating with Dellavedova, took his bag and left the locker room.

At this moment, his back looked so majestic.

If this was in an anime, it would have to be accompanied by a BGM from "Slam Dunk".

But looking at Antetokounmpo, two words couldn't help but pop out of the corner of his mouth:

"young."

But just after saying this, another person appeared in his mind unconsciously.

How could James not be such a young man back then?

Although he didn't experience that with James, veteran Ilgauskas always told them about James' glorious deeds at that time.

But in the end, even someone as strong as James chose to compromise and even learned to push others.

Because these are all part of basketball.

Antetokounmpo is still young and he will understand this one day.

Although, that might take a little time.

…

A week later, the Nets swept the Bucks 4-0.

Antetokounmpo played very hard, averaging 25+10 per game in four games, and he was guarded by Lin Ying for a long time. A player who was playing in the playoffs for the first time could play like this. The data already shows his superstar potential.

For comparison, Middleton, who was also playing in the playoffs for the first time and was the second leading scorer due to Parker's injury absence, averaged only 15 points per game and shot less than 40% from the field.

However, Antetokounmpo's performance is not enough to help the Bucks win even one game.

After the last game, Antetokounmpo left the locker room without saying a word.

Then he went to a bar for the first time in his life.

There he got himself drunk.

In a daze, he didn't know where he was. He only knew that when he woke up early the next morning, there were two women lying next to him.

He shook his head and felt a pain in his head when he wanted to get up, so he immediately pressed his head with his hand.

However, his action soon caused a gasp, because he hit a woman next to him.

"sorry."

He immediately apologized.

But soon came the laughter of two women.

I don’t know if this laughter is laughing at Antetokounmpo’s youthfulness at this time, or his performance last night.

Antetokounmpo put his hand on his head and finally recalled some scenes from last night.

His face suddenly turned red.

In fact, it's not his fault. He is either playing or spending time in the training hall, and he is very sensitive in that regard.

But fortunately, these two girls are professionals, so his performance last night was constantly improving.

And his physical fitness is really good, so there is room for continuous improvement.

He sat up, then took out his wallet, took out some money, gave it to the two women, and asked them to leave first.

After the two women left, Antetokounmpo took a look at the condoms flying on the ground, stood up, picked them up and threw them into the toilet and flushed them away.

When he was a child, he heard a story about a celebrity who played like this and threw the condom directly in the trash can.

As a result, more than a year later, a woman came to his door and said she had his child.

The celebrity couldn't even remember the girl's name and thought she was here to blackmail her, but it turned out that she went to identify her and it was really his child.

This perfectly illustrates what it means that reality is stranger than fiction.

His operation was very detailed.

After sending away the two women, he couldn't help but blush as he recalled the fragments of last night's scenes.

Alcohol is indeed a numbing thing, and he actually left all his worries behind for a period of time.

Moreover, this is the first time he has experienced happiness outside of basketball.

Ball control training can't only be done at the training ground. It's a pity that we didn't have the opportunity to try how to break the press. The defense last night was still very loose.

But soon, the redness on his face gradually faded away.

Alcohol can make people forget all their worries, but it is only temporary.

On the contrary, when I woke up and thought about the worries that were still there, the worries became more intense along with the pain in my head.

This loss told him that he simply cannot defeat the Nets now.

He was really like Kira who was force-fed and ate an artificial Devil Fruit, except that Kira ate the SMILE fruit, while he ate the Pain Fruit.

So how can we beat this Nets!

Thinking about it, his head hurt even more.

He relaxed for a moment, stood up, opened the water on the bedside, and poured it into his mouth directly like drinking oral liquid.

After he burped, he felt a little better.

He thought of Dellavedova, and then naturally he thought of James too.

James should have faced the same problem as him back then. He was first unable to defeat the Celtics and Pistons, and was unable to break out of the Eastern Conference.

In the end, they broke out of the Eastern Conference, but were still ruthlessly tortured by the Western Conference teams.

So in the end, there was no other way, and James chose a path that carried great pressure: teaming up.

To this day, and because of his move, James' historical status is more touted by the media than confirmed by the players.

One of the most true things is that you will hear many players in the league say that Kobe Bryant and Lin Ying are their idols, but when it comes to James, they will only say that he is the top two small forwards in history.

The latter is an affirmation of strength, while the former is not only an affirmation of strength, but also worship.

Fans may use honor to evaluate a person when discussing players in the future, but these words are another kind of affirmation that cannot be reflected in honor, and that cannot be replaced by any amount of honor.

So Antetokounmpo does not intend to take that path, because he and James pursue different things.

It’s just that if he doesn’t take James’ path, which one will he take?

If this were in Los Angeles or New York, he could try to recruit some less famous but suitable players to pitch.

But this is Milwaukee.

So is there really no other way?

Antetokounmpo soon felt a headache again.

This question may bother him throughout the summer.

…

"It's great! Come on, cheers!"

At Lin Ying's house, Swift took out the red wine he had collected, and Lin Ying and Durant finally had a drink after a long time.

"Kevin, I don't want to throw up."

Lin Ying said, shaking the red wine glass, and then took a sip.

If you drink red wine as water, you will vomit.

Durant smiled and took a sip.

"I can only drink a little bit with you. Cyndia and I are currently preparing for pregnancy."

"...preparing for pregnancy?"

This Lin Ying was a little surprised. For them, pregnancy is usually a matter of course.

"I have to give Xiao Lin Yi a wife as soon as possible, so that I don't waste my efforts in cultivating him."

fall.

Lin Ying held his forehead.

Durant really just wants to keep his wealth to others!

"Then you have to work hard."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

He doesn't want to have any baby kisses, but what is certain is that if Durant really gives birth to a daughter, Xiao Linyi will play a lot more with her, and the possibility of being together will be higher than others.

I just don’t know if Dicker can neutralize Durant’s appearance.

"Do you think Giannis got drunk?"

Durant said after taking a sip of wine.

"You know again?"

"I guess, if it were me, I would be beaten so severely that I wouldn't know how to continue without getting drunk."

"Especially after what you said."

Lin Ying nodded.

In the arena, what could be more difficult than being ridiculed and then getting beaten?

However, Durant's goal of this operation was indeed achieved. Antetokounmpo played very bravely, and the Nets won the next few games not as easily as the first game.

The status and so on were just revealed.

"The next step is to play against Jimmy."

Durant continued, gritting his teeth as he said this.

Earlier tonight, the Hornets also successfully defeated the Wizards to advance to the semifinals.

And they were the Wizards who swept them 4-0, which is incredible for a fourth seed.

The main reason is that both Walker and Butler are in surprisingly good condition.

Lin Ying couldn't help but smile.

The Hornets are the root of all evil right now.

Otherwise, in that game with the Hornets, Durant would not have clashed with Butler or become an old enemy, and he would not have become the "new forcing king."

Now when we meet again in the playoffs, I don’t know what will happen again.

"So, how are you going to play this series, like let them put someone who can pray on you to guard you?"

ps: There are still available at night.
