Although the methods are relatively inferior, the marketing accounts did get what they wanted.

The influx of parties Fans provided them with a large amount of traffic.

Gonghuo creates conflicts, attracts some extreme fans to join in, and makes comments that lower their intelligence, and the post becomes popular immediately~~

On December 15th, Thunder returned to the home court.

Back-to-Back versus Clippers.

Today's Clippers is still led by Griffin.

Shi Ye Ming Ye, because of the poor record in the previous two years, Clippers couldn't see any hope in Playoffs, but Griffin did not ruin himself by forcing the game to be closed. (In 2017, because of Thunder's record changes, Clippers was not fighting Jazz but Rockets, and then Griffin was not reimbursed, but was simply thrown to death)

Therefore, Clippers did not pack Griffin away, but even so, the performance could not be improved.

Today's terrifying environment for Western Conference makes Clippers walk on thin ice and cannot win at all...

And Griffin is already 29 and will soon be thirty.

Although Harris, which was traded from Thunder this year, performed well.

Compared with last year, Harris, who came to Clippers, took over a lot of the ball.

While output increased, efficiency only declined slightly.

And the cooperation with Griffin can be considered a tacit understanding.

After all, Griffin looks rough and his playing style seems explosive, but in fact his skills are very delicate, and his passing and movement control are both top-notch among Power Forward.

When Harris is at the third position, it also covers up his internal defense Weaknesses to a certain extent.

Therefore, the level of Clippers this season has actually improved compared to last season.

But I can't stand being surrounded by perverts.

Thunder, Warriors, Rockets, Nuggets, Jazz, Lakers, Pelicans, none of them are weak.

Even Trail Blazers can overpower them.

Just relying on players of the level of Griffin, Harris, Zubac, and Lou Will, it is already very good that Clippers can hold Western Conference in ninth place.

After all, when they faced the Eastern Conference team, their winning rate was actually pretty good.

But in the civil war of Western Conference, there are some bad records.

After Paul left, Clippers has never had a player who can serve as the brains of the team.

So far, the player with the highest number of assists in the team is Griffin, who averages 6.5 per game.

That's outrageous.

This night's game is also sending warmth to Thunder.

Thunder easily won the game without even exerting much effort.

Davis was still in average form, shooting only 7 of 16 from the field and scoring 19 points and 11 rebounds.

Chen Xi regained the hot state when he was leading the team alone. He made 16 of 24 shots from the field and scored 42 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists with Double-double's data, leading the team to victory.

For Clippers, Griffin 24+10, Harris 18+7, Lou Will 13+6, and Harrell on the bench, got 17 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, giving Thunder briefly caused some trouble. He and Lou Will cooperated very well with Pick-and-Roll. They caught Thunder replacing Weaknesses who was not good enough at position 4 and 5, and the score was once close.

But after Chen Xi came back on the stage, Thunder immediately stabilized its footing, and then went all out to beat Clippers 13-2 and won the game.

After Back-to-Back ended, Thunder took a short rest for a day and faced Bulls again who came to play away from home.

We faced off against Odie again, but this time Thunder unfortunately failed to have the last laugh.

Bulls Iron Triangle, the firepower is still fierce.

And Brow is still very weak.

Chen Xi made 13 of 26 shots from the field and scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists.

But Thunder still lost the game 109 to 115.

Davis is in a very strange state, unable to make any mid-range shot.

The opportunity obviously came up, and there was no problem with my posture.

It's like banging iron.

Chen Xi also observed it during daily training.

The strange thing is that the hit rate of Brow and Mid-range in training is no different from before, and even slightly improved.

It seems like this is either really bad luck or a psychological problem.

I hope it's not a psychological problem...

Chen Xi shook his head and turned towards Odie.

Start the post-match pleasantries.

<Just an ordinary social interaction>

December 19th.

Thunder challenges Kings away from home.

Facing Interior of Cauley-Stein's level, Brow finally found his form. He made 13 of 24 shots from the field and scored 29 points and 13 rebounds.

After Chen Xi saw Brow's Mid-range pick up at the start, he also gave up a lot of the ball and kept giving Davis the ball, hoping that he would get back to his form.

Therefore, he only made 9 of 17 shots in the game and scored 23 points, 2 rebounds and 12 assists.

Fortunately, Davis seized the opportunity and performed stably. In the end, Thunder 109 easily defeated Kings by 99, winning the game and refusing to lose in a row.

After finishing the game with Kings, Thunder's next stop is Utah.

Another challenge to Team Jazz.

<League's weird schedule>

However, the difference between this game and the previous one is that Westbrook, who had been out for a month, finally made his comeback.

Recently, Thunder's record has been ups and downs, and successive losses have also made Turtle Turtle a little anxious.

He is eager to come back and help the team.

In fact, during the two-game losing streak, he wanted to come back, but was persuaded to go back by Chen Xi.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose in one or two games, Thunder's primary goal is to stay healthy.

If you are too eager to come back, if you get injured again, it will not be finished.

Although Westbrook's physical fitness is trustworthy and he is not a glass person, he has suffered a lot of serious injuries in his career.

This is a problem that is basically unavoidable for players like Interior, not to mention that Westbrook is now 30 years old and his career is about to go downhill.

If there are no injuries, he should still be able to walk smoothly on this road, but if he gets a serious injury or something, then he may very well be on the verge of a cliff-like decline.

The more classic ones are like Iverson. In that era, Interior attacked Interior like crazy under Contact, and then liked to fight with injuries, and ended up with a whole body. This was also a major reason why he was so sad in the later part of his career.

Iverson without speed is like a tiger with broken teeth.

Back to the game.

Westbrook's performance in the first game back was not very good, but fortunately it was not bad either. He made 9 of 19 shots from the field and scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, a near triple-double~~

Chen Xi continued to be humble and gave the ball to the other two core players to help them regain their form. They only made 9 of 16 shots and scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

Brow also maintained a similar efficiency to the previous game, making 11 of 20 shots and scoring 26 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists.
