As time entered mid-December, less than half a month left before the annual Christmas war in NBA.

For the United States, the significance of Christmas is very huge.

Even the atmosphere and expectations of the United States on Christmas Day are basically equivalent to the New Year in China.

Unfortunately, although the Christmas battle is eye-catching, the Thunder this season has absolutely no chance to taste the Christmas battle.

After all, the schedules of the teams in the new season were already arranged by the league before the start of the season.

Before the start of the season, the Thunder was still a rooster that no one would pay attention to, so more eye-catching occasions like the Christmas game and the NBA opener, there will naturally be no sign of the Thunder.

But recently, there has been good news for the Thunder.

That is, since being signed by the team in the offseason, Livingston, who has been in the recovery stage, has improved a lot.

According to the team doctor's description, Livingston was able to perform some personal training at this time.

Although we cannot participate in high-intensity competitions immediately, we can at least go downstairs to complete some stretching independently.

This will undoubtedly be very good news for the Thunder. Although there is no shortage of people in the Thunder at this time, Livingston's comeback will definitely make the Thunder's rotation more diverse.

Before the start of this season, Livingston's expected return will be in the end of December or early January.

So if you count the time, then Livingston's time is basically consistent.

But as the head coach, Yang Fan was not in a hurry to let Livingston make a comeback, but hoped that Livingston could completely take care of her health.

Even if it takes ten days or half a month to delay, it is not a matter of no interest.

Not to mention that the Thunder this season has not yet encountered a shortage of people. The most important thing is that Yang Fan hopes that Livingston can completely take care of his body.

After all, for a professional basketball player, the body can be regarded as the most precious asset.

In addition, as the Thunder's performance in the new season becomes more and more outstanding, this also makes more and more people believe that the Thunder's performance in the new season is not a flash of inspiration.

Until now, other teams in the league have completely regarded the Thunder as an opponent that cannot be ignored.

Although the Thunder are only ranked lower in the league on the defensive end this season, on the offensive end, the Thunder ranks third in the league with an average of 108.7 points per game.

Among them, Kevin Durant, who is the team's star, is also ranked third in the scoring list.

So in this case, naturally no one dares to underestimate the Thunder anymore. After all, people's impression may be biased, but the team's data will not lie.

……………………

In the next period of time, the Thunder won three more games, increasing the winning streak to five games again.

And after head coach Yang Fan returned from the flu, the team still struggled to lose.

However, although the team once again won five consecutive victories in the season, the team was not as excited as early as the season.

On the one hand, in addition to some habits, more importantly, the five consecutive wins of the season seem to have become a curse for the Thunder this season.

In fact, if we have to make a careful calculation, this is the third time the Thunder has won five consecutive victories in the new season.

But before this, there was no one more victory after five consecutive victories, which increased the number of consecutive games.

It seems that after the team wins five consecutive games, the Thunder must face a failure before they can accumulate victory again.

At first, Yang Fan didn’t believe in this kind of thing at all. This was clearly a coincidence. After all, everyone should believe in science!!

But as the Thunder experienced failures after five consecutive victories, Yang Fan remembered that he had traveled through time and believed in the science of a chicken!!

But despite this, Yang Fan still doesn't believe that there will be a curse of five consecutive victories on Thunder.

After all, Yang Fan, who has been a human being for two lives, knows that these so-called laws in NBA can only be analyzed based on big data.

Strictly speaking, it is just about having fun, and it is difficult to have any real persuasiveness.

Whether it is the Birdman's Law during the Heat or the Pope's Law during the Lakers, this can only be regarded as a coincidence when you meet a coincidence, and then everyone realizes that this is a fucking coincidence!!

So Yang Fan, who firmly believed in this, made up his mind, that is, he must win the next game and break the bullshit curse that the outside world has spread.

At the same time, Yang Fan also did it as soon as he said that, and immediately checked the Thunder's opponent in the next game.

However, when Yang Fan saw the team's opponent's name in the next game, he was obviously stunned, and then his face suddenly collapsed.

"I'm so evil..."

…………………

December 21.

The Thunder, who recently won five consecutive wins in the season, will go to Los Angeles today to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers, the No. 1 Los Angeles Lakers away.

It can be said that Yang Fan doesn't believe the curse that the team will lose after five consecutive victories.

But when Yang Fan saw that his opponent in the next game would be the Los Angeles Lakers, the number one in the league, was obviously stunned.

Because if that's the case, it would be boring...

The Lakers this season can definitely be regarded as the biggest favorite in the league to win the championship. Even before the new season began, the Lakers ranked first in the championship prediction list with a championship rate of 37.8%.

Even though the Boston Celtics is the defending champion this season, under the brilliance of the Los Angeles Lakers, even the Celtics, who just defeated the Lakers last season, can only barely fall into second place.

In fact, the Lakers did live up to expectations this season. They have made great progress since the start of the new season, and now they are ranked first in the league with a record of 23 wins and 5 losses.

So if you should say it, when Yang Fan knew that the team would play against the Los Angeles Lakers next game, Yang Fan seemed to instantly feel that this curse seemed quite reasonable...

It’s not that Yang Fan has the ambition to destroy his own might, but that the Lakers are too strong this season.

In addition to having the three iron triangles, Kobe, Gasol and Bynum, he also has many powerful players such as "Old Fish" Fisher, Ariza and Odom.

Even this Lakers team is not without weaknesses, such as insufficient lineup depth, team locker room discord, etc.

But the key is that no matter how many flaws this Lakers have, they can definitely be called a behemoth in the eyes of the Thunder.

At least before the game started, Yang Fan was already constantly advising the players:

"Guys, our opponents are very strong in this game. They are now the number one in the league, but we are not weak either, so when you get on the field, you can let go and play without any psychological pressure."

"We are playing away in this game, which may become even worse for us, but I hope you can leave all the emotions behind."

"For this game, we don't talk about winning or losing, we only talk about the process. As long as everyone can do their best in this process, it's understandable that even if they lose in the end."

"Remember, as long as you get on the court, you just need to play the game seriously. I will help you with all the factors outside."

"Come guys, let's work hard together!"

“1.2.eon!!”
