After all, a healthy Yao Ming is the greatest asset for Supersonic in its efforts to rebuild.
On the other side, in the East, the much-anticipated series between the Knicks and the Magic ended with the Knicks sweeping the Magic 4-0.
This was a series that was a happy ending for everyone involved.
Facing his old team, the Magic, with the help of his big brother Jas, the "Magical Beast" Howard achieved revenge against the local dia and fans in Orlando with dominating statistics, averaging 21 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 blocks.
After the ga, Jas even stood up for Howard, saying, "I don't know why the Orlando dia dislike Dwight so much, but I think the facts have proven that Dwight is not the forever immature kid they think he is."
Howard won what is, up to now, the most important series of his life.
And Jas, through this series, successfully won over Howard.
As for the Magic?
Sorry, not only did the Magic fans not feel bad for being humiliated by Howard upfront, the Orlando dia even stated afterward: "A great trade! Orlando will surely rise again under Russell Westbrook's leadership!"
Big Westbrook turned in splendid stats during this series against the Knicks, averaging 34 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists per ga.
Despite losing the series in a sweep because of the Magic's overall weaker team strength.
Orlando fans saw this as definitely a series where the Magic lost, but Westbrook didn't.
"As long as we give Russell enough helpers, he's practically ssiah at 191 cm tall!"
However...
The reason why this series was just almost happy for everyone...
is primarily because in the always-injured NBA, the original Knicks' star Kevin Durant surprisingly suffered a double blow in this series.
Just because he couldn't beat Jas doesn't an the otherwise shrewd Durant didn't gradually realize that recently Jas's tone when talking to him was getting increasingly off.
Especially before the series started.
When Jas proactively proposed that the team help Howard pad his stats.
Durant didn't understand, shouldn't he, as the Knicks' Head of the Family, prove himself in front of his forr little brother Westbrook?
Moreover, in various public occasions lately, Durant noticed that Jas rarely ntioned the Knicks as the team led by him during interviews.
Now, Jas usually says: "'KD' is still young, I believe under my guidance, he'll get better day by day."
In Durant's view, it's as if he's beco Schrodinger's Head of the Family today.
Only on nights when the Knicks lose does Jas not hesitate to say: "I hope people don't put too much pressure on 'KD', as the absolute leader of this Knicks, he is only twenty-three."
When losing, you take the bla.
When winning, all the credit goes to .
Yes, only at this mont does the overly naive Durant realize that the once loyalist in his heart, Jas...
turned out to be playing the role of Sima Yi from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
It's just a pity that Durant hasn't read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Otherwise, how could he have let himself, the undisputed absolute leader of the team, gradually beco the current 1.5-tier leader?

PS: Sorry for writer's block today, sorry for the late and short chapter. (Tomorrow Ah Qiao will surely attempt a ten-thousand-word update again to prove himself!)
