1087: I want MVP too (5/5)
On December 28, Westbrook scored 29 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists, helping the team defeat the already desolate Miami Heat by 12 points.
In this game, the "Turnacle" once again scored a very exaggerated triple-double. Especially the number of 17 rebounds, it can be said that it exists in response to those who use the blackmail him to grab his teammate's rebounds.
In today's game, facing the Heat, where Whiteside was in charge, the Thunder grabbed a total of 46 rebounds, while the Heat only had 32.
In the whole game, the Thunder grabbed a total of 14 more rebounds than the opponent!
And today, "Aquaman" Adams also scored 9 rebounds. Although the rebound count was not double-digit, to be honest, there were also quite a lot of 9 rebounds.
Under such circumstances, Westbrook still grabbed 17 rebounds strongly, which undoubtedly proves that he is not relying on "brushing" to get data.
Westbrook responded to everyone's insults and doubts with his own practical actions!
After the game, reporters asked a question that excited everyone.
"Congratulations, Russell, this is another great victory. In the next game, you will lead the team to face the Memphis Grizzlies for the first time this season. Do you think the Thunder can still maintain a winning streak in the face of such a strong opponent?"
That's right, on December 30, two days later, the Grizzlies and the Thunder will usher in their first head-on battle this season.
Somewhatbrook has been full of controversy recently, and everyone is looking forward to this game.
Many fans are clamoring to let Link let Westbrook know what a real MVP is, so that he can become the greatest player without brushing the data.
Therefore, the reporter also grasped the key point, which was equivalent to asking a very sharp question.
"I just won this game, I just wanted to enjoy the victory now. But there is no doubt that I will not miss any chance to win."
It can be seen that Westbrook does not want to challenge Link. After all, Link has not been asked for Westbrook these days.
Based on the principle of "non-aggression", Link and Westbrook's relationship has been eased so far.
Of course, the biggest reason why Westbrook didn't challenge Link was because he knew that that guy was really not easy to mess with!
But it is obvious that such an answer cannot satisfy the appetite of fans.
Media people and fans do not intend to admit Westbrook's achievements just like this.
After the game, Bill Simmons, who has always hated players to swipe data the most, finally couldn't sit still.
He published an article in his column specifically discussing Westbrook, who averaged triple-double miracles this season.
This article naturally continues to show his profound skills in poisonous tongue. However, this time, his goal of poisonous tongue changed from Link to a "divine turtle" back then.
"I snatched 17 rebounds to prove that I didn't make any data? I'm so laughing! Adams did snatch nine rebounds in this game, but 6 of them were frontcourt rebounds! And Westbrook's 17 rebounds were all backcourt rebounds! Now, have you seen something??"
At the beginning of the article, Bill Simmons directly refuted the "evidence" that Westbrook did not brush data.
The data of this game cannot explain any problem at all.
All 17 rebounds were backcourt rebounds. As a center who could grab 6 offensive rebounds, Adams actually had only 3 backcourt rebounds.
If someone says that this data is fine, that would be a real ghost.
"Stop your behavior, Russell. Average triple-double is not that great, victory is great. We all know that you want to prove your greatness after Durant leaves, but your energy is in the wrong place!"
"I think it's stupid to rank Westbrook first in the MVP rankings. He's not even a good leader. Look at how hard Oladipo plays with the rest of the Thunder, you know what role Russell plays, and you know why Kevin Durant was in a hurry to escape from Oklahoma."
"If Russell Westbrook really got the MVP because of his average triple-double, I swear that he would definitely become the most soccer MVP in NBA history! That's right, it's even more so than Dirk in 2007!"
"In addition, I strongly agree with the view that Link will let Russell know what a real MVP is. In the 30th game, Link will press Russell to the ground and rub it hard. The real strong man is disdainful to swipe data."
Bill Simmons, as always, squirted at Westbrook's big squirt.
Westbrook, who has always been furious, could not bear this? He immediately started a trash-talking offensive battle with Bill Simmons on social media.
Under this topic, both sides will naturally mention Link intentionally or unintentionally.
On December 29, the day before the game started, Westbrook simply gave an ultimatum to Bill Simmons during an interview during the media opening hours.
"Shut up your mouth, you're just a penman. If Link really has the ability to get MVP, he will prove it to everyone. Since that's the case, let's open your eyes tomorrow! See if it's whether Link holds me or I step on him."
As soon as the words "Turtle" were said, Link began to feel a little uncomfortable.
Just quarrel with Simmons. What does it mean to step on me? I'll mess with you.
Besides, Link is also very disgusted with the fact that data is being brushed. Although it requires strength to brush data, such as players like Dion Waiters who can't even give him the right to take action are everywhere in the league.
But if you brush it, just brush it, and you can refuse it while brushing it. It's really not decent.
And from the bottom of my heart, Link is actually very eager to win this year's mvp.
Until now, Link has only won the regular season MVP twice.
Because the team's record was not so good last season, MVP was thrown to Curry, who led the team to a record of 73, and his dream of MVP three consecutive times was also ended.
So this year, in addition to the championship, Link also really wants to get back the personal honor of MVP.
After finally solving Harden and James, they now have another Westbrook fight with him for MVP, and Link is also very annoyed.
Since that's the case, let's educate the "Divine Turtle" a little tomorrow.
But until now, Link has not made any statements related to Westbrook, and he is still patient.
On the Internet, the verbal battle between Westbrook and Bill Simmons is getting worse and worse, and Westbrook mentions Link more and more times.
"He is already a past tense, I will prove it."
"Anyway, I'm the number one person on the MVP rankings. If Link is really capable, why is he not the number one?"
"I'm looking forward to fighting with him, I'm looking forward to defeating an opponent that Kevin can't beat!"
At the same time, Thunder fans also began to join in the fun, and they all said that the Thunder would win a big victory at the Federal Express Arena.
The omnipotent Westbrook will take over as the overlord of the Link League.
From Westbrook to Thunder fans, they all have a sense of being arrogant.
Link didn't want to join the verbal battle, and they were proud.
So, Link had to simply respond on his social media.
There is no swear word in this sentence, and there is not even any questioning Westbrook, but it pushes the whole situation to **.
"In tomorrow's game, it's impossible for someone to get a triple-double again. That's right, I said."
As soon as Link said this, it was equivalent to directly igniting the fuse.
The two explosive barrels he and Westbrook, now they will definitely be blown up in pieces as long as they are together!
"Is it really okay to say that?" Rachel looked at Link's social media updates and said, "Westbrook will be very angry."
"Don't worry, although saying this is a bit hurtful, Russell is really not a difficult guy to deal with."
Chapter completed!
