Chapter 646

At the moment Los Angeles Kuaisuan and Oklahoma Thunder announced the trade, the whole basketball world was swearing.

Anyone who opens a computer or mobile social media page sees a screen full of vulgarities.

Who the hell could have imagined Durant going to the Kuaisuan?

"Fuck this basketball, what meaning does it still have? I'm gonna buy Kuaisuan tickets!"

"Durant and Fan Xi are double scoring champions, plus Giannis, Rubio, and a group of elite interior players—what are other teams even playing for? Hurry up and prepare for the 16-17 season."

"Now, the only worry for the Kuaisuan is whether they can achieve a 98-game winning streak next season, all the way to the championship."

"The NBA finale is over, Jordan, can you still sit tight? Jie Ke is about to win six in a row, your Thus we include: English position is gone!"

"Kevin Durant abandoned his own kingdom, he chose to defect to Jie Ke, this is simply a disgrace."

"Durant chooses a road harder than Le Bu Lang Zhang Si's, the difference being he will get a championship, while Le Bu Lang Zhang Si will again come up empty-handed."

"Jieke Fan destroyed the league's ecology; more and more superstars will defect to him. I despise this behavior, but I will definitely go watch Kuaisuan's games next season."

"The Thunder didn't lose anything; they lost Durant but gained Leonard, maybe Leonard is stronger, maybe not. Come on, Oklahoma's Los Angeles brothers!"

"Thunder didn't lose anything; they lost Durant, got Leonard, maybe Leonard isn't necessarily stronger. Come on, the Los Angeles brothers of Oklahoma!"

Fan Xi did not go look at the trade news domestically.

To him, this is completely unimportant.

Kevin Durant, however, is a sensitive person; he argues with netizens every day using an alt account.

It must be said, his mental fortitude is not very strong.

He once even switched to the wrong account. He replied to a provoking fan using his main account, speaking in a third-person tone: "You guys only dare to spray Kevin Durant online, making yourself seem omnipotent." When you leave the internet, you still have to return to your miserable, unsatisfactory life. And Kevin Durant can immediately go play with Jieke Fan; they will together win the championship, drink the most precious red wine, and light the most expensive cigar.

He once even dialed the wrong number. He replied to a provoking fan using his main account, and spoke in a third-person tone, saying: "You only dare to spray Kevin Durant online, making yourself seem omnipotent." When you leave the internet, you still have to return to your awful, unsatisfying life. And Kevin Durant can immediately go play ball with Jieke Fan; they will together win the championship, drink the most precious red wine, and light the most expensive cigar.

Durant was once again pushed to the forefront of controversy.

Many basketball stars began to jump out and attack him.

Shaquille O'Neal was the first to speak up, saying: "In our era, this is unimaginable; originally in my mind, Durant was one of Jie Ke's biggest rivals, a superstar capable of sniping the Western Kuaisuan; who could have imagined he would join the Kuaisuan?"

After Kevin Durant was called out, he didn't care and just let loose. On his personal homepage he publicly criticized O'Neal: "Shaquille O'Neal also has nothing worthy of respect. In the Eastern Conference he also accomplished nothing, after being repeatedly dealt with by Jordan. Didn't he also choose to jump ship, leaving Orlando for the Lakers?"

"If it weren't for Hardaway, he couldn't make the finals. If it weren't for Kobe, he couldn't win three straight. If it weren't for Wade, what could he do? Every day he pretends to be optimistic, heehee haha, but he's actually petty. He still hasn't apologized to David Robinson for fabricating facts? Among the four big centers, his scheming is the deepest! He's the hardest person to deal with."

"If not for Hardaway, he couldn't make the finals. If not for Kobe, he couldn't win three-peat. If not for Wade, what could he do? Every day pretending to be optimistic, heehee haha, actually just narrow-minded. He still hasn't apologized to David Robinson for fabricating facts? Among the four big centers, his scheming is the deepest! He's the hardest person to deal with."

Charles Barkley also criticized him, Barkley said Durant's move was betrayal; originally thought he could be a driver, but he ends up being a passenger.

Kevin Durant directly @Barkley's account, saying: "This is learned from you. Back then you weren't shamelessly signing a minimum contract to join the Rockets, were you? You weren't trying to hug the legs of the two-time champion Rockets, were you? Unfortunately, Olajuwon can't even move you; you're destined to be someone who lives off your mouth. You can't even be a passenger properly!!!. biqupai."

Durant directly @ Barkley's account, saying: "This is what I learned from you. Back then you weren't joining the Rockets on a minimum salary with a thick face, were you? You weren't trying to latch onto the two-time champion Rockets' thighs, were you? Unfortunately, even Olajuwon couldn't move you; you're destined to be someone who lives off his mouth. You can't even handle being a passenger!"???. biqupai

Kevin Durant criticized Pierce: "You got sprayed by Jie Ke in the Nets. Your Finals VP is stolen from Kevin Garnett."

ESPN commentator Bill Simmons said Durant made a historically lowly downgrade choice.

Kevin Durant directly replied: "You the hell predicted five times that Jieke Fan wouldn't win the championship, and got slapped five times."

The Kuaisuan PR team never expected Kevin Durant to be this fierce.

After the trade, Kevin Durant went online at high intensity for 36 hours, he trashed talk to the point that no one dared to argue with him.

This guy really can trash talk.

Shaquille O'Neal was left speechless by him; he's currently a commentator on TNT, but he sensibly shut his mouth, no longer discussing Durant's issue, because Durant really has the goods, and he even said he got all of O'Neal's mistresses' data.

Ku Pu Qie Ke said in the transoceanic call with Fan Xi: "Next season we will see a qualitative leap in public opinion; Durant's keyboard can match our entire PR department."

Fan Xi burst out laughing, this really is a splendid trade.

Leonard and Westbrook have a good relationship; he can also develop well in the Thunder, although Westbrook is prone to hot-headedness, but Leonard is very calm, and they are also tactically complementary.

Kevin Durant and Fan Xi also talked on the phone; he honestly expressed his thoughts on the call.

"My contract only has one year left, so I'll only play one year for the Kuaisuan. If I jump to another strong team, I'll still get criticized, and they can't offer a chip like Leonard."

"I get criticized at the Kuaisuan, but I can win a championship; if I jump ship later, people will be visually fatigued and won't spray me. This year we won the championship, next year you'll have to go to the Eastern Conference. I'll look for a strong team in the West and still be able to win a second championship."

After hearing that, Fan Xi even felt like smoking a cigarette. Durant 6 ah. The internet let him play it out, and the 36 Strategies also let him play it out.

"Your plan is seamless, simply perfect. But there is only a slight flaw," Fan Xi said.

"Your plan is seamless, practically perfect. But there's only a tiny flaw." Fan Xi said.

"Next next season, if I go to the Eastern Conference, why can't I win the championship?" Fan Xi asked Kevin Durant.

"You definitely can't win the championship; next next season I plan to go to the Warriors!" Kevin Durant still isn't smart enough; one sentence exposed his true thoughts.

"You definitely can't win the championship; next season I plan to go to the Warriors!" Durant still isn't smart enough; one sentence exposed his true thoughts.

Fan Xi likes candid Durant. "You understand betrayal. Kevin. In this area, Le Bu Lang Zhang Si has to learn from you for a lifetime."

Kevin Durant is also proud: "Don't look at my small head; there's plenty of wisdom inside."

Durant is also proud: "Don't look at my small head; there's plenty of wisdom inside."

On the wisdom tree grow wisdom fruits, and the wisdom fruits are all Durant, with not a bit of brain platinum.

The shock of this trade lingers on.

It became the biggest news of the offseason.

Fan Xi shuttles between domestic and the US; he finally has a long vacation, although every day of it he's changing diapers. This makes him terribly miss the arrival of the new season.

When Kevin Durant came domestically for promotion, Fan Xi even went to set up a stage for him.

His popularity exploded domestically because he joined the Kuaisuan; his team says he made a wise decision. Because criticism is temporary, but these concrete benefits are permanent.

Follow Fan Xi, and the championship won't be lacking.

Follow Fan Xi, and the championship won't be lacking.

Michael Jordan was saying in private, Durant isn't being upright—how could he join the Kuaisuan? Isn't this pushing me into a fire pit?

Jordan now can only boast about his six championships.

Because even the most hardcore Jordan fans have to admit that Fan Xi winning five championships with three teams is harder than Jordan's two three-peats. Of course, some say Jordan could have won nine straight if he hadn't retired for two years mid-career.

Anyone would say that about hypotheticals.

The point is, Fan Xi demonstrated 'no ifs,' making his competitors resort to 'ifs.'

Fan Xi returned to Los Angeles only at the end of September, after which the Clippers began their new season training camp.

Durant chose the number 7 jersey with the Kuaisuan.

When taking the team photo, Fan Xi looked at the roster and couldn't help feeling surreal: this golden age—who could have imagined it three years ago?

Who wouldn't be dazed?

Center Jokic, Mili Xiqi; power forward Capela, Huaiti Seda; small forward Durant, Antetokounmpo; shooting guard JR Smith, Ray Allen; point guard Fan Xi, Rubio; plus backup Isaiah Thomas.

No wonder ESPN this year has made the Kuaisuan the top favorite to win the championship.

How are we supposed to play this?

Kobe Bryant, talking about the neighboring Clippers' roster at training camp, said: "I won't comment on their moves. I want to say, Jie Ke is an asshole!"

When reporters asked Fan Xi how he viewed Kobe's question, he said: "I'm not the asshole. The real asshole is their general manager—why don't they buy out Kobe, let him join the Kuaisuan on a minimum contract? Everyone on Earth knows how badly Kobe wants a seventh championship; if he came here, I could satisfy him."

Fan Xi and Kobe traded barbs through the media.

Fan Xi left Lakers fans speechless.

Because of what Fan Xi said, the only way for Kobe to win a seventh championship and surpass Jordan is to join the Kuaisuan.

But how could the Lakers buy out Kobe? How could they let him play for their cross-town rivals? Wouldn't that accelerate the Lakers' decline? The Kuaisuan are already league leaders, they've taken the lion's share of the Los Angeles market—why not just hand over the Lakers' shares to them as well?

Speaking of shares.

Jimbas, the Lakers' helm, actually proposed a wonderful idea, saying to Fan Xi: "How about we cross-hold shares? I'll take a portion, you take a portion, and we'll share the risk."

Fan Xi did not agree.

Never mind whether the league would approve this model; just looking at the rising market values of both teams, the Kuaisuan would surely lose out.

One thriving, one declining—how could we swap?

You're sharing the risk, but I'm just adding bad assets.

In the preseason opener, the Kuaisuan ran into the Lakers.

It's just the preseason—let the rookies get some playing time.

Kevin Durant brought the subs on and just kept swishing shots—he was so happy.

Rubio's passes to him were smooth and good.

Huaiti Seda's outlet rebounds made him ecstatic, and the screens from Mili Xiqi and Jokic were top-notch—those two can even catch and shoot, with extremely strong playmaking ability.

Durant just needs to catch and shoot.

He had never felt this before; he realized basketball could be this easy.

He scored 52 points in this game.

If it weren't for worrying about negative impact, the Kuaisuan would have kept him on the court and he could have scored 60.

Because it was so great, there were open spots everywhere.

In the past, Durant found it hard to score high in a game; partly because his own explosive athleticism isn't enough—scoring thirty or forty points a game is easy for him, but getting fifty or sixty is hard… which is why his fans joke that he's hit-or-miss.

But with the Kuaisuan, he only needs to do one thing—shoot. He's playing too easily.

The energy expenditure for fifty or sixty points is about the same as for thirty or forty normally.

"Jie Ke, I feel I can win another scoring title this year," he told Fan Xi.

Fan Xi said: "No, you won't win the scoring title this year. We're playing average basketball this year—you need to embody the idea of 'everyone for me, I for everyone.' Don't keep thinking about scoring on your own; you also need to let everyone participate."

In the second game, Fan Xi set an example for him.

He showed him what a 'volley of arrows' means.

Fan Xi started with Ray Allen, Yannis, Capela, and Jokic.

Not long after tip-off, the scoring spread out—Fan Xi and Ray Allen shot from beyond the arc, Yannis drove the baseline in various ways, Capela dunked in the paint, and Jokic facilitated from the high post.

The San Antonio Spurs cried foul, saying it wasn't martial.

They couldn't stop it at all; after one quarter, Fan Xi was benched.

Even so, the Kuaisuan won by 24 points, successfully paying tribute to Kobe.

The preseason games were merely an appetizer, basically a way to slim down Mili Xiqi and Jokic.

Other Kuaisuan players kept in great shape, but these two let themselves go.

Fan Xi decided to step up the intensity, but although these two are fat, they're still agile—actually making them harder to handle.

Every time Fan Xi watched Jokic gulp down burgers and soda, he couldn't help wondering: what kind of inhuman physique does this guy have?

Durant also meant well, suggesting Jokic pay attention to a healthy diet so he could play a few more years.

Jokic is still optimistic: why play that long? Play ten-odd years, make enough money, then go back home to race horses!

Durant took a look at Jokic's weight, fast approaching three hundred pounds, and asked: "How big are the horses in Serbia?"

I don't know, but anyway when I go back, they'll have to slim down a notch.

Durant gave a thumbs-up: "I like your humor."

The regular season came quickly.

The Kuaisuan's season opener opponent was the Heat.

The Heat are currently stunned.

After Le Bu Lang Zhang Si left, Howard also left—Howard went to Atlanta, and the Hawks gave him a twenty-million-dollar annual salary, signing for three years… I don't know what the Hawks were thinking, but they were pretty generous.

Pat Riley wasn't that generous—he's now just phoning it in, doing no offseason acquisitions at all, just lying low.

Wade announced he was going to have surgery, James went back to his hometown, leaving a mess.

Now only Bosh is holding on, with Mario Chalmers also there.

Fan Xi saw it and felt pitiful, really wanting to recite a poem: "Ancient road, setting sun, thin horse…".

Boom!

At the start, Durant drove into the paint and gave Bosh a dunk.

Fan Xi has beaten the Heat five times; he only feels sympathy for the Heat.

But Durant doesn't have that; he still remembers how the Three Giants would hit him every time they saw him.

Now that Durant has the Kuaisuan as support, shouldn't he strike back hard?
