KD

"Hehe!"

Seeing the puzzled expressions of everyone, Gentry briefly explained the details of the trade.

Regardless…

It's a great joy for everyone that a player as outstanding as Curry can join the Suns, and the cheerful Curry quickly became acquainted with everyone.

As for why Curry came over,

It naturally can't be separated from the efforts of Carlos, Nash, and Austin.

In the previous battle between the Suns and the Warriors, Carlos hammered Curry, hammered him again, and then fooled him, constantly instilling the idea of overlapping positions with Monta Ellis.

At the same time…

Nash , the two-time regular-season MVP winner,also had multiple exchanges with Curry. His guidance and invitation were highly valued by Curry.

Moreover…

Agent Austin, on the side, kept hinting, and Curry eventually felt that the Warriors were not suitable for his development. He actively sought a trade, and at this time, the Warriors' management had not yet realized Curry's potential.

Thinking that Monta Ellis was better than Curry, they facilitated the trade.

"Come on!"

"Don't talk too much for now; the Thunder vs. Magic game is starting."

Indeed…

On the live TV broadcast, the game began. Howard dominated, grabbing the basketball above Krstic's head, showcasing the talent belonging to the 'Superman' vividly.

Following that…

In the post against Krstic, a step and a powerful dunk directly on Krstic's head.

"Boom!"

Unreasonable and powerful, the resounding dunks made the basket groan continuously.

Inside showdown…

'Superman' Howard, from offense to rebounding, completely dominated Krstic, who, if we say Howard is a college student, then Krstic is, at most, a sixth grader.

Crushed!

However… the Thunder's strength lies not in the inside but in the outside 'Big Three.'

While most guards have a poor efficiency in layups under Howard's defense, Westbrook can penetrate, showcasing the 'Turtle's' strength.

Not to mention Durant.

Since entering the league, he has been destined to wear the halo of 'genius'—penetrating, shooting, defending, he can do it all, and with astonishing efficiency.

Claiming to be 206 centimeters but actually standing at 211 centimeters.

No one taller than him is quicker, and no one quicker than him is taller. Scoring for him is as simple as reaching into a pocket.

As for 'The Beard' Harden, a second-year player like Curry, his growth is also astonishing. In his second season, he has already secured the position of the strongest sixth man on the bench.

In fact…

With his skills, he could easily be a starter.

It's just… due to considerations about ball distribution, letting Harden come off the bench might maximize the overall strength of the Thunder.

"Three quarters played, the game is intense," Curry said.

"Yes..."

Nash agreed and then frowned, "Last season, the Magic made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, while the Thunder reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time. But now they are giving the Magic a tough fight."

"The progress of the 'Big Three' is too fast. Their talents are truly powerful. One can't help but sigh; the Thunder's luck is off the charts, actually selecting three super-strong players within three years."

"That's right..."

Carlos nodded at this, as a time traveler, he had the most say.

Durant, Harden, and Westbrook are not just strong; they are explosively strong. The future of these three is at the level of regular-season MVP."

"KD" Durant even won the FMVP for two consecutive seasons.

These 'Three Musketeers' are just incredibly strong.

In the midst of discussions…

The Thunder and Magic game entered the last quarter, the decisive three minutes of the match. 

"Boom!"

First, Howard aggressively attacked Krstic in the paint, performing a violent dunk.

Next…

After shaking off Westbrook, he swiftly drove to the basket.

Then…

Receiving the ball again in the paint, he attracted a defensive double-team, passed to the perimeter to Nelson, who then found Lewis open in the left corner. Lewis took a three-point shot.

"Swish!"

Clean shot…

Afterwards…

Howard once again restricted Harden's drive in the paint.

Within 2 minutes, Howard dominated both ends of the court, increasing the Magic's initial 1-point lead to 6 points, leaving little time for the Thunder.

Only 1 minute left.

Are the Thunder about to lose?

No!

Durant hasn't agreed to that!

Harden's drive was blocked, but fortunately, Krstic tipped the rebound out, Durant caught the ball on the perimeter, facing Lewis.

With a ball fake and a drive using his left hand.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, Durant leaped like a spring, shooting a mid-range jumper against Lewis's block attempt.

"Swish!"

The mid-range shot went in…

The Magic remained calm, playing steadily. Nelson controlled the tempo, found the best opportunity, and once again passed the ball to Howard in the paint. Durant immediately went over to double-team with Harden.

"Whoosh!"

Howard still moved the ball to the outside, and Lewis once again got a three-point opportunity. He raised his hand for a three-point shot, seemingly effortlessly, but the three-point shot didn't have enough force and bounced out of the basket.

"Clap!"

Durant secured the rebound, and with 38.3 seconds left, he quickly dribbled into the frontcourt, facing the guard Nelson, with almost no hesitation.

From downtown!

"Swish!"

Clean shot…

Scoring 5 consecutive points, narrowing the gap to just 1 point, Durant's big heart made the entire arena boil, and on the defensive end, he continued to focus on Howard.

This time…

Howard did not pass the ball to other teammates but chose to strong-drive to the basket himself, unfortunately missing the shot.

13.4 seconds remaining.

The Thunder had one last offensive possession, and Durant had the ball. He faced the forward Turkoglu's defense on the perimeter, slowly dribbling to find an offensive opportunity.

Last 3.7 seconds.

"Swoosh!"

Feigned drive, sudden step-back, and then a three-point shot. Turkoglu dared not foul, only reaching out to interfere, turning to look at the spinning basketball in the air.

Very nervous!

Everyone was very nervous!

Could it be a game-winning shot?

"Swoosh!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the ball passing through the net.

The three-pointer went in.

A game-winning shot from Durant, the Thunder won against the Magic.

"Wow!"

"So amazing!"

Curry was wide-eyed, amazed by Durant's game-winner.

"Kevin is so strong!"

Dragic also stared, Durant scored 8 points in one minute, reversed by 6 points, completing the game-winner, shocking Dragic with his big heart.

"Truly ferocious!"

Nash shook his head and sighed, "These three have too much talent, rising in strength too quickly. This year, they have a high probability of being a dark horse!"

"That's right…"

Carter also nodded, speaking seriously, "The Thunder's Big Three is so strong. Tomorrow night's game against the Thunder, everyone must be serious and can't take it lightly."

"Yeah…"

Everyone nodded.

"Thunder's Big Three?"

Carlos murmured, his eyes indeed ablaze!
