Overnight, the most talked-about topic on Durant's personal social media was finally not "Scarlett's bath water" for the time being.

　　A tweet he posted 11 years ago has been repeatedly "reviewed" by countless netizens in the past few hours.

　　At that time, Durant was 21 years old and Harden was under 20.

　　"Congratulations to my new teammate James Harden." On June 26, 2009, Kevin Durant, who was still playing in Oklahoma, "welcomed the new year" as usual and told the team on personal social media about the draft. The newly "taken off" brothers at the conference welcomed them.

　　More than ten years passed in a flash.

In the vicissitudes of life, things are different.

　　Until this morning, foreign media revealed that Harden will join the Nets through a four-way transaction.

So Durant's "old tweet" came in handy again-he and Harden, the former "big brother" and "third brother", will reappear yesterday in Brooklyn.

　　At this point, eight years have passed since they last hit the championship side by side.

This time, Durant once again opened his arms as the "host" to welcome Harden's arrival.

Durant and Harden

　　And the "newcomer" Harden looked from a distance, beside the familiar figure, stood a talented guard side by side; on the side of the court, sat a young marshal who was also not experienced in coaching.

Everything is like that summer in 2009.

　　It is precisely because of this that netizens will be touched by the scene, turning out Durant's tweets 11 years ago, and welcoming "Bearded" in advance.

Every fan who reads Durant's social media can't help but recall the years back then.

　　The part of the long-lost reunion is always easy to touch the heartstrings.

Thunder Three

　　Although a bit vulgar, but for Harden and Durant, it is indeed a period of youth-related years.

Accompanied by the smooth jaws and "slender" arms that now seem to be unfamiliar, is the talented, rising blue youth army.

In front of the TV, the people who love their kind of flying and hiding are often in their youth.

　　Harden and Durant of that year were far from the dominant power they are today.

That Thunder didn't really win a season, but it firmly imprinted the figure in the hearts of fans.

Because at that time, the youth was still firmly grasped by them, and the future was still infinite reverie.

　　This is why the overall game of Game 5 of the 2012 Finals is timed. The team coach Scott Brooks said to the lost teenagers around him: "It is a pity that we did not achieve our goal this year. We still have a long way to go, but there is nothing to let you down and hold your heads up."

　　"Make ourselves stronger this summer. We have to become better and continue to play for each other. After the game, we have to walk to our opponents and shake hands with them. They win with integrity. I know this is hard to accept, but they It really wins justice. Give them compliments and leave the court. Everyone has been great this year, and everyone’s efforts have been remarkable."

Brooks Classic Speech

　　Now, Harden and Durant seem to have a good chance to make up for their regrets.

In a trance, onlookers may also get a time-staggered experience.

　　It's just that there is a day when flowers re-open, and no one is young again.

When Harden and Durant joined hands again, the two had long since turned from the "young man" to the "skittery man"-from their early twenties to their thirties.

　　The eight years that can't be recovered is the reason why they joined forces again are different from before.

　　In their respective years of running, Durant, although he achieved his dream of champions in questioning and ridiculing, suffered a serious injury and restarted the road to rectification; Harden was able to flex his muscles and unleash his talent to the fullest, becoming the MVP again and again. Falling down in the playoffs once, branded himself "weak".

Harden scored the last point for Houston

　　Reunion after a long absence certainly looks beautiful, but for Harden and Durant, the most important thing does not seem to be the reunion itself-they both desire success.

　　This is a beautiful and uneasy reunion. What awaits them is an expectant but sensitive day.

Last season, Harden and Westbrook's brief meeting in Houston is still in sight-it sounds like a warm story, and the ending may not be warm.

　　Not to mention that the Nets are not at peace today. Soon after Harden's trade was exposed, news of Irving and Durant's relationship was alienated.

Harden and Westbrook's combination is not wonderful

　　In the most perfect plan, Durant and Harden will embrace the end of the season, make up for the regret of the year, and at the same time be able to prove themselves; and the other extreme is that all the good things in the past have been defeated by reality.

　　To a certain extent, victory is the key to success or failure.

It seems that all romance in the adult world is an appendage of real interests.

　　In this way, the meeting between Durant and Harden this time after the new year is like a continuation of yesterday, but everything has long been different.

　　The classic speech made by Coach Brooks at the time is no longer applicable.
