Chapter 675: Chapter 232: Earthquake Strikes, Training "Jordan" (6K Chapter Included!)_4

Under the comfort of loyalist James, Durant’s mood improved a lot.

Since the finals, Durant and Westbrook had no further communication.

But for this little brother who has always supported him for the past three seasons, how could Durant have no feelings at all?

Just...

Already immersed in James’ sweet talk, Durant didn’t care about that so-called brotherhood anymore.

Yes, Durant knows better than anyone that it was his acquiescence that led to Westbrook’s trade.

As for why he can now accept Westbrook’s departure with peace of mind?

Because just as James said...

Durant also believes Howard is more suitable than Big Westbrook for the current Knicks.

So, when James took the most appropriate time to offer a reason that could convince Durant to accept Westbrook’s departure...

With no other thoughts in mind, Durant immediately accepted the fact that Big Westbrook was traded.

"Brown, I think you’re right."

At this moment, turning his gaze to loyal James, Durant said, "Friends come and go, only the championship banner flies in the wind."

...

The significant trade between the Knicks and the Magic undoubtedly became a hot topic in the basketball world.

And as promised last year’s playoffs to strengthen the Lakers roster, Kupchek brought another earthquake to the basketball world a week later.

Jazz’s old coach Sloan fulfilled his promise to let Chris Paul leave this summer.

Furthermore, among Paul’s potential destinations, Sloan made it clear: "I will only send Chris to a team with championship-contending strength."

Preparing for retirement, the old coach Sloan left his last tenderness for Paul, his beloved student.

Thus, Kupchek made his move.

On July 8, as the Lakers agreed to send Monta Ellis, Lamar Odom, and a future draft pick, Chris Paul, Qin Yue’s former college teammate, officially donned the Lakers jersey.

With Paul helping manage ball distribution.

Plus, with my reliable shooting rhythm.

Kobe can focus more on scoring for the Lakers in the new season, instantly igniting his ambition to lead the Lakers to another championship.

And shortly after the Lakers and Jazz reached a deal, Qin Yue, busy training Butler and Green, was asked by reporters about the Lakers for the new season.

Why is Qin Yue, a Warriors player, being asked about the Lakers?

Of course, because...

Upon joining the Lakers, Paul made a bold statement, saying he would personally end Qin Yue’s reign over the NBA.

In response, Qin Yue laughed and said, "I’m glad Chris has such ambition, but if he wants to beat me, he’s clearly a hundred years too early."

Little Gasol, Kobe, Klay, Paul.

Undoubtedly, if placed in history, this is also a lineup that could dominate the league for at least a few seasons.

However, at this current time point...

Just like the Knicks acquiring Howard can only challenge the Warriors as contenders.

Facing Qin Yue, the new GOAT.

Even though these teams eager to break the Warriors’ championship monopoly have assembled various luxury lineups, none of them dare to say they can surely win the championship.

Because last season, that unrivaled deity has already proven no one in this era can match him.

And speaking frankly, despite how much the Warriors’ competitors might be frustrated...

This summer, compared to these two earthquakes shaking the basketball world...

What truly interests Qin Yue is Jimmy Butler, currently undergoing his guidance after shaving his head as he wishes.

"Like! So much like!"

Nearby, gazing at Big Jiba, who not only looks identical to young Jordan but at least appears carved from the same mold, Grover couldn’t help but sigh, "Is he really not Michael’s secret child? How can he look so much like Michael?"

Hearing this, Qin Yue thought that this is surely one of the reasons he is fascinated by Butler?

Although outwardly, Qin Yue’s idol is no longer Jordan.

Only Qin Yue himself knows what kind of feelings he holds for the old GOAT.

Now, no matter how the outside world stirs.

Qin Yue just wants to focus his energy on guiding this young player who looks remarkably like Jordan.
