Westbrook's injury has a great impact on the Thunder.
Harden has been sent away during the offseason, and now if Westbrook is injured again, the Thunder will have no hope this season.
The reason why the Thunder management said that the season is likely to be reimbursed is because Deng Fang is still a life-saving straw.
As soon as Westbrook's injury was determined, the Thunder management immediately found Deng Fang.
Westbrook's situation is different from Rose's. As long as the injury is healed, it will be no problem to play the game.
Deng Fang did not refuse and readily made an offer - 10 million!
However, Deng Fang made a request, that is, he is not responsible for the "after-sales service" - as long as he can play and play after the treatment, he will not care if he gets injured later!
Westbrook's annual salary this season is US$13.67 million, and Deng Fang's offer is completely conscientious.
Precisely because it is a conscientious price, Deng Fang is not responsible for after-sales service.
Although Deng Fang added conditions, the Thunder general manager did not hesitate and immediately agreed to the offer.
There are very few quotes below the annual salary in Deng Fang. This price is worth it!
What's more, Westbrook's body is in very good shape. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is made of steel. This injury was a complete accident.
Accidents are not that easy to happen. If they happen often, it would not be an accident!
After 10 million was received, Deng Fang immediately treated Westbrook's injury.
After touching his knees and trying to jump twice, Westbrook snorted: "I'm fine, Beverly, just wait for me!"

In another game, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 105:99.
In this game, the two teams have always been very close. The Grizzlies played very well from the outside, and the Black and White Bears also kept causing damage in the penalty area.
However, the Spurs are very sophisticated and have high tactical literacy. They kept clinging to the score and waiting for the Grizzlies to make mistakes.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Spurs suddenly exerted their strength and took the lead in one fell swoop, which they maintained until the end of the game.
Compared to the Grizzlies, the Spurs' defense is not much worse, and their offense is more reasonable, so it is expected that the Spurs will win.
…
The top three teams in the Eastern Conference all won, and the fourth-placed Nuggets also learned from their humiliation and took advantage of their home court advantage to beat the Clippers and successfully tied the score at 1:1.
There is not much difference in strength between the Nuggets and Clippers. The last game between the two teams did not decide the winner until the end.
In this game, the Nuggets turned up the intensity right from the start, playing well on both offense and defense, taking the lead throughout the game and maintaining it until the end.
For the Clippers, this result is not bad. A win on the road will complete the task, and they can't ask for more.
…
In the East, the Heat defeated the Bucks 98:86 at home and successfully won their second victory in the series.
Although the Bucks are a weak team, the Heat did not underestimate the enemy. They were very focused throughout the game and did a very good job on the defensive end, successfully blocking the Bucks' backcourt with two guns.
Monta Ellis made 2 of 7 shots in the game, only scored 7 points, 5 assists, and 4 turnovers, which was very inefficient.
Jennings took a lot of shots, but his efficiency was lower. He made 3 of 15 shots and 0 of 7 three-pointers. He only scored 8 points, 5 assists, and 2 turnovers.
When the two guns in the backcourt are defended like this, it is impossible for the Bucks to win.
In fact, the Heat's offensive performance in this game was not good. They only made 6 of 19 three-pointers and a shooting percentage of 31.6%. However, under their airtight defense, the Bucks performed even worse, with three points in the game.
He made 4 of 18 shots from the field and his shooting percentage was a pitiful 22.2%!
In addition, the Heat also took 26 free throws and hit 22 of them. This alone is 12 points more than the Bucks!
It can be seen that the Heat have high ambitions and ideas this season. Even if they face a weak team, they will not relax and give their opponents no chance.
…
Like the Heat, the Knicks, second in the Eastern Conference, also relied on defense to win the game at home.
The Knicks know very well that it is impossible to play offense against the Celtics. In this case, let's play defense!
Defense mainly depends on attitude. As long as you work hard enough, it usually won't be too bad.
Everyone defended with all their strength, but the team with stronger offensive talent won in the end.
In this game, the Knicks' offensive performance was average. Only three people on the team scored in double figures. The top scorer was Carmelo Anthony. He made 11 of 24 shots and scored a game-high 34 points.
Four Celtics players scored in double figures, but the highest scorer was Pierce's 18 points. He made 8 of 19 shots and 1 of 5 three-pointers. His efficiency was very low.
The final score of the two teams was 87:71, which shows how hard the defense worked and how low the offensive efficiency was!
The Warriors have scored more than 70 points in halftime in many games!
Without the control of Ray Allen and Rondo's connection and defense, the Celtics have no hope this season.
…
Unlike the Heat and Knicks, the Pacers, third in the Eastern Conference, won the game at home by relying on offense.
Both teams performed well on the offensive end in this game, with four players scoring in double figures. The difference is that Paul George, who scored the most points on the Pacers' side, scored 27 points, while Harris, who scored the most points on the Hawks' side, only scored 17 points.
.
The Hawks shot well from three-point range in this game, making 9 of 23 shots from the field, with a shooting percentage of 39.1%. However, the Pacers were even higher, making 10 of 25 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 40%!
In terms of free throws, the Pacers made 21 of 29 free throws, while the Hawks made 11 of 20 free throws. In terms of rebounds, the Pacers made 47 while the Hawks made 41. In terms of turnovers, the Pacers also made 4 fewer mistakes.
The leader scores more points, makes more accurate three-pointers, makes fewer mistakes, rebounds more, and makes more free throws. It would be strange if the Pacers don't win!
The final score between the two teams was 113:98. The Pacers scored more points than the Eagles in every quarter and maintained their lead until the end.
…
The top three teams in the Eastern Conference all won, while the fourth-placed Nets unfortunately lost.
Although there was no Rose, the Bulls relied on their tenacious defense to only score 82 points in this game, and finally won the away game with a score of 90:82.
In this game, the Bulls did a very good job on the defensive end. The Nets were completely out of control. They shot 4 of 21 three-pointers in the game, with a poor shooting percentage of only 19%. They shot 9 of 82 in the game.
The hit rate is only 35.4%!
Three people from the Nets scored in double figures, with Lopez scoring the most. He made 7 of 14 shots and scored a team-high 21 points.
Luol Deng scored the most points for the Bulls, with only 15 points. However, five Bulls players scored in double figures, and all players scored, with the least one scoring 5 points.
With excellent defense and all the troops, this Bull deserves a victory.
After losing this game, the score between the two teams was 1:1.
