The bet between Link and Bill Simmons, two "live treasures", once again shocked the entire basketball circle.

The commentator and the player bet that shaved their heads is something that has never happened in the world sports world.

Although Link and Simmons have done these "extraordinary" things more than once, shaving their heads on the spot can be said to be quite exciting.

However, the bet between Link and Simmons did not occupy all the news pages. Because on the same day that Link and Simmons reached the bet, the Oklahoma City Thunder broke out again.

Before the start of this season, Durant had a long standoff due to a fracture of the metatarsal bone in his right foot.

Westbrook led the team and finally survived until February, but Durant fell again.

Durant was injured again in the game at the end of January, but the problem was still lies in his right foot.

However, this time, the injury is even worse than before. The Thunder officially announced last night that Kevin Durant will undergo a right foot bone transplant.

You can tell by the name that this is a major operation and takes about 12 weeks to recover.

Unless the Thunder can hold on until the start of the finals, Durant will basically have no chance of returning to the court this season.

In other words, Durant will most likely be reimbursed this season!

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Oklahoma City Thunder. You know, before Curry emerged, Durant was considered the only player to resist Link.

In fact, it is not just for the Thunder, but for the entire league, Durant's season reimbursement is also a big loss.

He is undoubtedly one of the most important players in the league. Without him, the league will lose its excitement.

The news of Durant's season reimbursement diverted the influence of Link and Simmons.

Most people believe that after Durant's season reimbursement, the Thunder are completely finished. Although they still have Westbrook, at least for now, Westbrook is not a qualified leader.

Due to Durant's stop-and-off relationship this season, the Thunder's record is already very bad. Even if the Thunder eventually enters the playoffs, it will be difficult to compete with other strong teams in the West.

Everyone thinks that the Thunder is over. The Thunder's record of 24 wins and 24 losses is not optimistic. Durant is reimbursed for the season again, and the Thunder will definitely fall directly.

On February 5, the Oklahoma City Thunder ushered in their first game after losing Durant completely. The opponent is the New Orleans Pelicans, who currently has 26 wins and 22 losses and has Anthony Davis, the new superstar.

"This game will be the beginning of the fall of the Oklahoma City Thunder." Before the game began, such a view was recognized by most people.

But the process and results of the competition surprised everyone.

As soon as the game started, the Pelicans players performed well and were about to win the Thunder with an incomplete lineup. In addition to Anthony Davis, other Pelicans players also scored continuously.

But with the Pelicans performing well, the Oklahoma City Thunder tied 15-15 with the Pelicans in the first half of the quarter.

Until now, only three players from the Thunder have scored records. The reason why they can still tie the Pelicans is Westbrook!

Westbrook was almost alone in supporting the team. After the first quarter, he had already made 8 of 10 shots and scored 19 points!

19 points in a single quarter, with a hit rate of 80%. Both data and efficiency are very exaggerated.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Westbrook came off the court and the Oklahoma City Thunder's offense immediately stopped. They only scored 2 points in 4 minutes.

The Pelicans also seized the opportunity and overtook the score in one fell swoop. It seems that the fall of the Thunder is an unchangeable fact.

However, after Westbrook returned, the situation immediately changed.

The No. 0 defender joined hands with Reggie Jackson to score 10 points in the second quarter, making 11 of 15 shots in the entire half, scoring 25 points.

Although the Thunder are still behind, the Pelicans are not 100% safe.

In the third quarter, Anthony Davis began to play, widening the score difference to double digits in one fell swoop.

This time, it was Westbrook again. He and Ibaka scored 22 points together, and they finally overtook the ball with a tough stubbornness!

At this time, local fans in New Orleans began to feel restless. They were worried that the Pelicans would not be able to hold on, after all, this was their best opportunity to get rid of the Thunder, a direct competitor. If they missed it, it would be a pity.

In the fourth quarter, the final battle began. The two teams played very anxiously, but the young Pelicans finally failed to last.

In the last five minutes of the game, the New Orleans Pelicans actually experienced an embarrassing gap period of not scoring for five minutes.

In the most critical five minutes, the Pelicans didn't score a single point. It can be seen that what a terrible disaster this is.

Westbrook did not waste such an opportunity, and he took the opportunity to lead the team to win the game. In the end, he won the game with super data of 45 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds.

"102 to 91, the Oklahoma City Thunder held on to the end after losing Durant! They withstood the huge pressure and won the final victory. I have to say that this is an exciting victory!"

"The Pelicans only scored 15 points in the last quarter, while Westbrook scored 9 points in the last quarter. They had 45 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game. Those who don't know must have thought Link had transferred to the Thunder."

"People say that Russell Westbrook cannot lead the Thunder forward steadily, but today, he stubbornly fought back with his actual actions. Even if Kevin is not here, Oklahoma will not enter the doomsday!"

Westbrook is completely famous this time. When a player can pull the team out of despair with explosive data, he can gain everyone's love.

The result of this game undoubtedly made New Orleans fans very sad. The happiest thing was the resurrected Oxford fans. Durant's absence seemed to have forced a better Westbrook.

But there was another person at this time, who was happier than Oklahoma fans.

This person is Bill Simmons!

After February, Harden, who missed the best of the month last month, seemed to be hit hard, and February suddenly became boring.

After two games, Harden scored 18 points and 21 points in one game. Not only is the data not good, but you can also clearly see the fatigue displayed by Harden on the court.

There is no doubt that Harden's current state is completely incomparable to January, and the best month in February is basically out of the way.

What about Stephen Curry? He is still strong. But after the amazing start of the season, his influence is declining.

Just when Simmons was still worried that Link had no opponent, Westbrook came with 45 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Now, Link has another month's best contender!

With Durant's season reimbursement, Westbrook will undoubtedly receive unlimited fire rights!

And the unlimited fire power means that Westbrook's data will definitely not be too much. As long as he can ensure that the Thunder's record is not Waterloo, there will be a great chance of winning the best month!

Moreover, due to the All-Star Game in February, there are very few games.

Fewer matches mean fewer variables. Therefore, it is further reduced to the difficulty of Westbrook's ability to maintain excellent data.

This also greatly increases Westbrook's chances of getting the best month.

Bill Simmons believed that it would not take too long for him to see Link shaved his head!

Get all the best players of the month in a season?
