Chapter 228 Durant's Growth

Chapter 228 Durant's Growth

Some are happy, some are sad, and some are wandering outside.

While the Raptors were celebrating the championship, the lonely Ge Feng stood by Xia Shilan's bed in a coma, anxiously waiting for Xia Shilan to wake up.

In the Warriors locker room, the players packed their bags very lonely and prepared to go home.

Except for Durant, Curry and Thompson who are going to attend the press conference, the other team members have bought air tickets and are ready to go home to reunite with their relatives.

The loss in the finals was a huge blow to the Warriors players. Many players were so frustrated that they didn't say a word, looking at Durant with resentment.

Durant was also silent.

This time, it was rare for him not to post news on Twitter immediately.

Durant paid the price for his youth.

If Durant hadn't been too conceited in the first two games and had to be serious with Ge Feng on the court, the Warriors would not have trailed the Raptors 0-2 at the start.

It's useless to regret now. Durant can only complete self-salvation by playing a more exciting performance next year.

The Warriors locker room was eerily quiet.

Most of these role players are for the championship ring, willing to take the lowest basic salary in the league in the Warriors.

But the result was not as good as they imagined.

After losing the finals, most of the Warriors' players had the idea of ​​leaving.

The warrior dynasty fell into mist overnight.

Soon, only Durant, Curry and Thompson were left in the locker room.

Curry turned his head and glanced at Durant, who was silent, with a complicated face.

Long before Durant came to the Warriors, the Warriors were already champions.

After Durant came to the Warriors, his tactical status was incompatible with the Warriors' team basketball.

Every time basketball rotates to Durant, it is handed over to him for singles, or a simple cooperation between him and Curry. Durant has never really participated in the Warriors' rotation system.

Durant is like a chicken rib of the Warriors, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard.

This alone is fine, at least the Warriors still have a high probability of winning the championship.

But the price of Durant underestimating the enemy has to be borne by the entire Warriors. Is this fair?

Kerr walked to the locker room and asked them to join the press conference.

The three followed Cole without saying a word, and walked towards the press conference.

The reporters in the audience were black and white.

Crowds of people.

When the reporters saw Durant coming out, they were all whispering and discussing something.

If there are so many reporters in normal times, the Warriors must be very happy.

But it's different after losing the championship. The situation now is that the more reporters there are, the more panicked they feel.

"May I ask Durant, although you played well in the next three games, your downturn in the first two games is undeniable. What were you thinking about in the first two games?"

The reporter's first question was aimed at Durant.

Durant sat between Curry and Thompson, and both of them turned their heads to look at Durant.

Yeah, what the hell were you thinking about the first two games? !

This is the answer that Curry and Thompson really want to know.

Durant pinched his chin, looking very sad.

"Uh...I admit that I was out of shape in the first two games, and I was sorry for the Warriors. Please continue to believe in me. Next year, I will definitely use practical actions to bring the Warriors a second championship trophy."

There was another whisper in the audience.

As we all know, Durant's two-year contract with the Warriors will expire this summer. By then, Durant's final destination is still a mystery.

But Durant actually announced his choice directly to the media.

Immediately, a reporter asked: "Durant, do you mean to stay with the Warriors next year?"

"uh-huh."

Durant shrugged his shoulders: "Why not? The Warriors are a very great team. They have changed an era. I am happy to continue to serve the Warriors. Apart from this factor, I have to make up for my personal mistakes."

The reporters finally understood that Durant was showing favor to the Warriors management!

Durant also wants to make a comeback next year and strive for his second FMVP trophy.

I have to say that after this year's frustrating finals, Durant has really matured.

Durant understood the meaning of responsibility.

As we all know, players who expose their plans for the coming year in advance of the contract will bring him huge loss of profits.

Because if the player's next home is clear, not only his favorite team will prepare to offer the player a squeeze contract, but other teams that are interested in the player will also wait and see to test the player's loyalty.

It's definitely a thankless thing to do, but Durant did just that.

Cole was surprised when he heard this, and then glanced at Durant with a smile.

Durant really knows how to take responsibility...

The last two press conferences have ended one after another, and social media has not stopped for a moment.

Warriors Official Media Forum.

"A blessing in disguise, Durant may completely grow into the best player in the league because of this failure."

"Yes, Durant is no longer the Durant who likes to fight with fans. He understands that with greater ability comes greater responsibility."

"Durant finally doesn't want to drink Scarlett's bath water anymore, he only wants to drink Ge Feng's blood now."

"I look forward to the Warriors fighting the Raptors next year and regaining the championship that should belong to us..."

"Coach Cole, give Adu another chance! He will definitely return!"

Raptors official media forum.

"We are the champions!"

"I'm so excited. I didn't expect the first championship in the history of the Raptors to have three rookies!"

"Yes, the Raptors have been very lucky in the past two years. Whether it is Ge Feng, Siakam or the first-year freshman OJ Anunoby, they are all worthy of the rookie champion!"

"It's a pity that there can only be one person on the FMVP list at a time. Otherwise, I think both Ge Feng and Van Vleet may be elected as FMVP..."

"Yes, yes, especially Ge Feng, his key ball performance is really wonderful, it can be called world-class."

"That's right, there was also Ge ​​Feng who played against Durant in the second game. It was also very good! It was because of Ge Feng that the Raptors had the opportunity to win two games in a row, paving the way for subsequent victories."

"Ge Feng is the smartest brain of the Raptors, which even the talented Leonard can't do!"

"Did you find out that Xiao Hua didn't announce the results of the FMVP selection this year. If you want me to say, this year's FMVP is Ge Feng, right?"

"Upstairs you dare to think too much, but I also think it's possible... The scene where Ge Feng took the trophy away from the old man is really cool! Xiao Hua must be furious, otherwise why didn't Xiao Hua make the FMVP selection results public?"

"Yes, yes, yes! We want to unite and ask for the results! We want the results of the FMVP votes..."

"Ge Feng is too unexpected. Kobe also entered the league for the third season before forming an OK combination with Shaquille O'Neal to win the NBA championship! I didn't expect Ge Feng to be a year earlier than Kobe! It's too exaggerated!"

"Do you still remember Ge Feng's wild words in his rookie season? He said that he would lead the team to win the championship. At that time, I laughed at him... But now, please allow me to apologize to Ge Feng in public! Ge Feng! Forgive my ignorance!"

"+1 upstairs."
