Nine Hundred and Eighty-Nine: The Call that Changed the Alliance Pattern

A bald middle-aged man is carefully studying the itinerary of his biggest client this summer.

Obviously, this is a lot of work. The man frowned and looked very tired.

At this time, basketball fans all over the world are enjoying the ultimate battle between the Grizzlies and the Warriors. But as a basketball fan, he has no thoughts. He has not finished the work at hand.

Looking at the complicated schedule, the middle-aged man rubbed his temples, and then glanced at the tattoo on his arm.

On his arm, the two Chinese characters "patience" are tattooed. He was only 19 years old when he got these two characters tattooed, and he got them tattooed in Miami.

And whenever he encounters any trouble, he will look down at his tattoo and look at these two Chinese characters.

Afterwards, he was able to calm down again and concentrate on his work.

This trick has proven successful over and over again, and he has been using it for decades.

The middle-aged man finally calmed down and prepared to continue working, but his cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.

"What the hell!" The man threw away the mouse angrily and took out his phone. He was ready to scold the caller.

But when he saw the caller ID on the phone, the man's anger disappeared instantly. Because the call came from the biggest client he served.

"Kevin, what's wrong? Are you still up so late?"

The Kevin the man is talking about is none other than Kevin Durant, the super scorer who was injured this season!

"The Grizzlies won, Rich. They beat the Warriors, 4-1, and Link is going to the Finals again." Durant's voice was very low, and he seemed to be in a low mood.

"Really... I really don't know what to say. They actually won even though Link was injured." Richie Kleiman, who had a Chinese tattoo on his arm, curled his lips.

He believes that Durant must be in a bad mood now. On the surface, the Western Conference finals between the Grizzlies and the Warriors seems to have nothing to do with Durant recuperating at home.

But as Durant's manager, his partner and friend, Rich Kleiman knew that the last thing Durant wanted to see was for Link to win.

"He succeeded again, didn't he?" Durant smiled self-deprecatingly. As a star who has attracted much attention since entering the league, he still has 0 MVPs and championship rings until now.

And what about undrafted Link? Two consecutive MVPs and two championship rings. Now, we are working towards the third one.

Durant found that he was getting further and further away from the Link who he looked down upon at first.

The gap between him and Link has become wider and wider.

He felt that he was truly a failure. In the 11-12 season, when the Thunder reached the Finals and faced off against the Heat, he originally thought that he was about to reach the peak of his career. He thought that he was about to taste the taste of a championship. Son.

The results of it? Until now, he has not even touched the edge of the championship!

This year, he could only watch Link on his way to victory and success from the sofa at home.

As Link's nemesis, he's really, really unhappy.

Because if Link wins again this year, he will be completely thrown away by Link!

In the face of the dynasty established by Link, titles such as scoring champion and super scorer will become worthless!

Why can only Link rule this era? Why can only he win? ,

Why do I always play a supporting role? ?

Durant was very unwilling and depressed. After the game between the Grizzlies and the Warriors, the text message he unexpectedly received gave him the idea of ​​making some changes.

We can no longer let Link rule like this!

"Success? No, they still have the finals to play, Kevin. LeBron is in very good shape this year. Who will succeed in the end is not certain." Rich Kleiman continued to comfort him. Now Du Lant is in a bad mood, so just follow his advice.

"No, I don't think so. The Cleveland Cavaliers...maybe not strong enough." Durant is not a three-year-old child anymore, and he cannot be coaxed with a few words.

"Even so, you will soon get the opportunity to challenge Link next season. It doesn't matter, we still have time, and we still have a long way to go."

"Next season... are you saying I'm going to get a chance at Oklahoma? I've lost confidence, Richie. In Oklahoma, in the front office, in... ...." Durant paused, but decided to continue, "...I have lost confidence in Russell Westbrook!"

Durant said, looking at the text message in his hand. This text message was sent by Draymond Green after the game between the Grizzlies and Warriors.

The content is just one sentence, "See what we're missing? We need you, come on."

But this simple sentence gave Durant some different ideas.

Oklahoma? Who says you have to beat Link in Oklahoma?

Can Oklahoma make it? For millions of dollars, they were willing to let James Harden go. The lineup for the finals fell apart at the drop of a hat, and there haven't been any very successful signings in so many years.

Can Oklahoma make it? Russell Westbrook's stupidity seems to be something he can't change in his lifetime. At every critical moment and crucial game, Westbrook always misses the mark.

As soon as his mind became hot, even Durant himself couldn't touch the ball and could only watch him destroy the game again and again!

Can Oklahoma make it? Without him this year, the Thunder didn't even make the playoffs! Durant believes that if the same situation were applied to the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies would not even be able to make the playoffs.

If Oklahoma cannot succeed, will he continue to watch Link riding on his head?

The more he thought about this, the more indignant Durant became.

Maybe the way to defeat Link isn't in Oklahoma.

Where is it? Durant doesn't know either, but at least Oakland looks like a place with answers.

"What do you mean, Kevin?" Rich Kleiman realized something was wrong. Durant seemed to be more than just in a bad mood.

"It's nothing, I just want to discuss with you and discuss things this summer. Next season will be the last year of my contract with the Thunder. But if I remember correctly... we have player options, we have options to jump out rights in the final year of the contract.”

"Out of the contract? Are you serious? This is not in our plan!" Rich Kleiman swallowed. If Durant really breaks out of the contract this summer...

That will definitely cause a big earthquake!

As Durant's manager, he is even more busy this summer.

"I haven't decided yet, so I want to discuss it with you and start planning today. I think maybe it would be good for me to make some changes now."

"Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

"Because I'm tired of Link being the protagonist of this alliance, Richie. He has won enough. Now, it's time for me!"

"Tell me, do you already have a place you like?" Rich Kleiman guessed that someone should have skipped him and contacted Durant directly.

"Not yet, but if I had to count, Auckland would be my favorite place."

"Oakland!?"

Richie Kleiman took a deep breath. The phone call he accidentally made with Durant is very likely to be a phone call that changes the entire league...

First, it was James who returned to Cleveland last year, and now Durant.

Link, this guy, has driven so many people crazy.
