Chapter 1 fxck!

"fxck!"

Durant cursed loudly in the locker room.

Just when his teammates thought he was going to smash his phone again, unexpectedly, it was just a curse.

But Westbrook was at the press conference at the moment, and no one dared to run into the line of fire.

Durant picked up his backpack and left the locker room directly.

After he left the arena, he didn't get on the team bus, nor did he take a taxi back to the hotel. Instead, he put on his hood, carried his backpack, and wandered alone on the street aimlessly.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and he pulled up his collar.

This damn place, New Orleans!

It's mid-March now, spring has just arrived, the temperature is low at night, and the humid environment in New Orleans makes it even more uncomfortable.

"Kevin? Are you Kevin?! God!"

As he was walking, a woman walking towards him recognized him and shouted excitedly at him.

Durant ignored her and continued walking forward.

"Wait, Kevin, I'm your fan, a die-hard fan!"

The woman chased after Durant.

"Can you sign my name?"

Most of New Orleans are Tang Tian fans now, so it's rare to meet a Durant fan here.

But Durant was in a bad mood. After turning his head and looking at her, he walked forward again.

The woman showed a disappointed expression, but she probably knew that Durant was in a bad mood after losing the game, so she didn't continue to chase him.

"i.don't.want.die.alone..."

Durant's phone rang in his pocket. His ringtone was Scarlett's cover of the theme song of "Frozen Journey", "Young and Beautiful."

He looked at it and saw that it was Westbrook calling.

He hesitated and pressed mute, then put it back in his pocket.

He really wanted to be alone and think about his future.

Tang Tian's progress from a role player to almost the league's number one player has been shockingly exaggerated.

Although it's upsetting, the fact is that he's no longer a match.

And Tang Tian also has a group of excellent teammates around him.

Davis is now a top ten or even top five power forward in the league;

Jokic is even more talented, and he will have the opportunity to become the league's number one center in the next two or three years;

Holiday is the most simple and unadorned player, he is the best point guard among players who don't need to hold the ball.

Bojan is even seriously underestimated. His defense is close to the league average, and his three-pointer is definitely first-class.

And Ariza, who is injured and hasn't returned, is one of the best defensive wings in the league.

These people are much stronger than the Thunder's current teammates.

He can't beat Tang Tian now, and his teammates can't compare to the Pelicans.

And he gradually felt that the coaching staff was shifting the ball to Westbrook.

If he continues to play like this, he will be stuck forever, and he will have no chance to turn around in his entire career.

No, that's not the future he wants, absolutely not!

During the All-Star Game, he and Curry had a long talk. They didn't talk about playing together, but just about basketball skills and the future.

Two people who admire each other are really in sync.

Next summer is really his chance to play with Curry, with Thompson, Green, Iguodala and those teammates.

He will definitely be able to beat Tang Tian and the Pelicans.

And he is a completely free agent, and it is his choice where to go.

But...

There are several major problems facing him now.

One is Westbrook. The two have played together for so many years, and their brotherly relationship is very deep.

If he abandons his brother at this time, not to mention that his relationship with Westbrook will break down, he will definitely be poked in the back by the Thunder fans.

Another is those remarks he made on social media.

When Tang Tian left the Spurs to go to the Pelicans, he used his main account to post comments about "traitor."

What if he leaves the Thunder in the end?

Isn't this slapping himself in the face?

And later he also said with that small account "Godfather Fan" that had been verified, that he would definitely stay in the Thunder until he won the championship.

Now the words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.

If he really leaves, one can imagine how bad his image will be.

The opportunity is right in front of him, but he has blocked himself.

He took a long breath of cold air and shook his head vigorously.

He really understands James' experience with the Cavaliers now.

For superstars, the championship is the most important criterion for measuring their value.

The reason why Bill Russell is so respected by the NBA is because he is the Lord of the Rings, with so many rings that he can't wear them all on both hands.

Jordan was able to become the god of basketball. In addition to his super-first-class strength, his two three-peat championships were also very important.

As for others, "Big O" Oscar Robertson was strong enough, averaging a triple-double per season, but he only had one championship in his career, and his reputation was obviously not good.

Not to mention those without championships, Karl Malone, Dominique Wilkins, Alex English...

Malone is mentioned more because of his legendary status, but the others are really unknown.

No one wants to be one of those people.

James has already won the championship, and he is already 28 years old, and he doesn't have much time to squander.

As he walked and thought, it was like there were two little people fighting in his mind.

One wanted him to go to the Warriors and create the future with Curry, and win his own n championships.

One wanted him to stay with the Thunder and become a city hero with Westbrook.

In the end, neither of them defeated the other.

Just then, he came to an intersection, and the light was red.

He took out his phone and looked at it. There were n missed calls.

Except for two, one was from Donovan and the other was from his agent, the rest were all from Westbrook.

He felt a warmth in his heart.

He picked up the phone and called Westbrook back, and told him that he was outside buying something and didn't pay attention to the phone.

Westbrook was a little anxious, but he calmed down a lot after hearing what he said.

He hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Westbrook still cares about him.

And after answering the phone, he made a decision.

In the remaining games this season, including the playoffs, he will go all out to fight to the end.

If he can win the championship, he will stay with the Thunder with Westbrook.

If not, then he will go to Curry and start a new chapter in his career.

The green light at the intersection was on, and he was about to move forward when he suddenly noticed someone standing next to him, who looked familiar.

He remembered that this was the person who had asked him for an autograph before.

Unexpectedly, he ran into her again by such a coincidence.

The woman looked expectant, and it could be seen that she was excited about meeting Durant twice.

"You want an autograph?"

Durant said.

The woman nodded frantically.

"Pen?"

Durant said with a smile.
