Kevin Durant, the Thunder's franchise star, had a terrible shooting night. He went just 3-for-19 from the field, 0-for-5 from three, and 3-for-4 at the line, finishing with only 9 points, 4 assists, 1 rebound, and 1 block.

But Durant knew Zhou Ze too well and had no intention of exposing him. He merely said, "Mm, okay."
"Oh, right. Make sure your wedding is after the Finals..."
"You know..."
"This year's championship will be mine again."
Zhou Ze said it casually.
Seeing Zhou Ze so confident, Durant rolled his eyes, utterly
