9 a.m., in a conference room of a hotel in Oklahoma City:

"This morning meeting ends here, everyone can leave."

"Everyone, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you." Landry, who had just left and was injured but had not played but came to Oklahoma City, stopped everyone.

"Seeing that everyone was sleeping soundly on the plane, I didn't wake everyone up. Where are we going to have this away dinner?"

"No problem. Just eat. It would be perfect if you don't have to pay."

"What about you, what do you want to eat?" After listening to the random group, Landry asked other people's opinions.

"It's unique, after all, this is not New York, it's not Los Angeles, it's not Miami." Since the city is not fancy, other people's opinions this time were surprisingly the same.

"Okay, then I'll go pick it up. If it doesn't taste good, don't have any problem with me."

"OK……"

…………

…………

At 13:30 in the afternoon, inside a famous steak restaurant in Oklahoma City.

"Have you all finished eating? Does anyone else need it?" Seeing that the plates of the other thirteen people were almost empty, Landry spoke.

"That's almost it."

"Okay, you don't need to eat so much before the game!"

"Everyone, just like the previous two away games, will you take out your cards?"

Although he didn't quite understand Landry's words, the appearance of the black hat made him understand everything almost instantly.

"Here, I have a call and I have to go out and take it. If it were me, just come out and let me know." While he was taking out the card, Yang's cell phone rang.

"Benjamin, what's wrong?"

"Play hard in this game and try to keep 30 in a row. If you can get 50 or 60, your next big endorsement is not far away."

"Who is so crazy to choose me, a rookie who has only played 6 NBA games?"

"Both Footlocker and McDonald's are interested. You have already scored 30 points in 6 games, so you need to work hard to make them put aside their concerns."

"I understand, please wait a moment." Turning his head, Yang found the place he was looking for.

"How much does it cost for Box 3?"

"20,500 US dollars, this is the price after discount and tax, whether it is cash or credit card."

"Swipe your card."

…………

…………

"Sir, this is the bill you spent at the hotel and you need to pay it."

"I need to take a look! Wait a minute." After looking at the bill handed over by the other party, Yang could only helplessly shake his head:

wifi bill x1

Lollipop x6

Scented candle x4

"How much is the total?"

"Total, $75."

"Give"

"With the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks at 4 wins and 5 losses behind them, the Charlotte Hornets at 4 wins and 4 losses, and the Milwaukee Bucks following closely, this game is not easy for the Philadelphia 76ers, who are eighth in the Eastern Conference.

There is a loss.”

"There is good news for the 76ers in this game. Kevin Durant strained his left hamstring in the game against the Wizards two days ago and will not be able to play in this game."

"But the bad news is that the 76ers' injury list for this game is also hard to describe:"

"Covington is out with a knee injury, Marshall has a season-ending shoulder injury, Richaun Holmes has strained his right Achilles tendon, Landry has soreness in his right wrist, Tony Wroten has ankle discomfort, plus Embiid has been sidelined for a long time, 76

Currently, there are only 9 people who can play on the court."

"The 76ers have indeed changed their starting lineup; the starting point guard is TJ McConnell, and the shooting guard is still E'Twaun Moore, who is a regular at the 2nd position of the team this season, and Young, who usually appears at the 1st position, due to Kerwin

Dun was injured and was pulled back to the small forward position. The power forward and center have not changed at all and are still Grant and Noel."

"For the Thunder, because Durant was unable to play, the starting lineup became point guard Russell Westbrook, shooting guard: Anthony Morrow, small forward: Andre Roberson, power forward: Ibaka, center: Adams

"

Facing the opening jump ball with Adams, Noel finally achieved a clean victory.

After the jump ball, Thunder head coach Donovan showed the pertinence he had as a college coach:

Robertson, who was a guest as a small forward in this game, directly pushed up the waist without saying anything.

Since the 76ers usually let the other four people get familiar with the ball in the first round, or create dunk opportunities for Noel.

So Young didn't try to crack the phenomenon.

McConnell, who was put into the starting lineup, also lived up to Coach Brown's trust and gave Noel a dunk opportunity without Young touching the ball.

Since he was targeted, Young also chose to target him on the defensive end:

Facing Robertson, who could only shoot three-pointers from the corner, Young stood directly on the edge of the three-second zone. He was ready to help Noel resist Westbrook's impact.

"With such a radical defensive strategy, does he really not care about Robertson at all?" Due to Durant's absence, this game was not broadcast live on ESN, TNT, and ABC.

Facts have proved that Young's worries were not unnecessary at all. Since the outside defense system of the team's leader and help defender had an arm broken, the 76ers allowed Westbrook to get inside in the first defensive round.

Except for McConnell who was deployed outside to deal with Moreau, the entire 76ers team was recovered near the three-second zone.

Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, we prefer to go to the Tiger Mountains

Facing the restricted area that was already clogged to the extreme, Westbrook still chose to go for a layup.

"Pa"

Seeing the opportunity, Young poked the ball towards McConnell's position.

It has to be said that McConnell is the 76ers who are most familiar with the habits of Young Stadium.

When the ball came to him, he swung it towards the front court with a clear conscience.

"McConnell threw the ball forward. There were no 76ers players in the frontcourt. It seems like it was a mistake by the 76ers!" This Thunder local commentator fully demonstrated his attitude.

We just talked about the tacit understanding, and now we are slapped in the face. This is not Young's style. When the ball came to the 45-degree three-point line on the left, Young, who was running with all his strength, controlled the ball.

He quickly threw the ball in his hand without even aiming.

"This goal will definitely not go in..." Before he could finish his words, a chill hit the commentator's head.

Starting from the game against the Raptors, after making a difficult three-pointer, Young directly celebrated by spreading his index finger, ring finger, and middle finger.

"Timeout." When the Thunder were about to serve the sideline ball, Donovan requested a timeout.

"Do you still remember the defensive strategy I told you before the game?" At this time, Donovan had already turned from sunny to stormy.

"Play positionally and take action when necessary. Make reasonable use of the first four fouls during the fast break. If you can't pull him down, you'd rather give him a layup than let him shoot a three-pointer."

"Then tell me how you did it, how you made him pick up the speed so easily, how you made him complete the shot so easily. Have you forgotten that he just scored 7 3-pointers for the Raptors in the previous game?
