Chapter 52: Mind Says No, Body Says Yes.
Durant puffed out his cheeks, feeling as though he had just been inflated like a balloon. Clearly, he had the upper hand, but from Han Sen's words, it sounded as though he was the one getting beaten up!
No way! He couldn't let this slide. If he did, how could he continue to thrive in the league?
Once again, Durant interrupted his teammates' movements, backing Han Sen down to force a one-on-one play.
At that moment, he felt like a kite being repeatedly tugged back and forth.
And the string of that kite was tightly held in Han Sen's hands.
After successfully defending Durant's attack, Han Sen couldn't help but reflect on Durant's overly honest nature at times.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Brooks called Ibaka off the bench.
When a dead ball situation occurred, Ibaka subbed in for Durant.
As Durant sat down, Brooks immediately pulled him aside for some stern coaching.
Watching Durant bow his head and listen to the lecture, Han Sen felt that Durant was somewhat lucky. At least early in his career, he had Brooks as his coach instead of Mike Brown.
Ibaka was a first-round draft pick for the Thunder in 2008, but they had kept him in the Spanish League for another year of training before bringing him into the team this season.
