Super Heavy Artillery

In early July, Bill Duffy and Fu Yao accompanied An Luo to Oklahoma to complete the contract with the team.

　　 First of all, the Thunder conducted physical tests and trials on An Luo. This is a must. Only after passing can you sign with the team.

　　 An Luo signed a four-year contract with the Thunder and the total value is approximately 10.34 million US dollars. The first two years of the midterm are guaranteed contracts, and the third and fourth years are team options. All first-round rookie contracts are basically the same now, but there is some gap in salary values.

　　 After signing the contract, An Luo is a member of the Thunder. Presti finally said to Anlo: “Welcome to the Oklahoma City Thunder!”

　　 Then, the Thunder officially announced that they had signed with An Luo.

　　 An Luo will play in the Thunder No. 8 jersey in the new season. He didn’t continue to use his No. 1, since he is the 13th overall shooting guard, then follow the idol’s path!

I don’t know if those gossiping media will report in this way one day in the future: In 2016, the league left a No. 8 shooting guard with the 13th pick in the first round, but another 13th pick in the first round came. No. 8 shooting guard.

　　 An Luo thinks it’s interesting.

　　 After the official signing, An Luo can quickly enter the upcoming summer league. Training for the Thunder has already begun. But An Luo must first find a place to stay.

　　 An Luo doesn’t matter, anyway, he can live by himself and live anywhere.

　　 Yes, An Luo wants to have a space that belongs only to him. It’s not that he doesn’t get along well with his wife. In fact, Anluo’s relationship with his mother is better than most mother-child relationships in China. It’s just that when people grow up, they will naturally think about independence.

　　 Finally, with the arrangements of Bill Duffy and Fu Yao, An Luo rented a small villa in an upscale community about one kilometer from the Chesapeake Energy Stadium. There is a courtyard, but it has been transformed into an open-air basketball court. An Luo is also very satisfied with this residence. Then, the two took An Luo to buy a car. Because I learned from Westbrook that Oklahoma City’s public transportation is very inconvenient and requires a car to travel. It just so happened that some time ago, An Luo had already obtained his American driver’s license.

　　 An Luo chose a Chevrolet Camaro. In the United States, this thing is really not expensive, and I drove away for less than $30,000. Although An Luo has signed a contract now, he has not yet received his salary. So it was given to him by Fu Yao.

　　 If you have a car and a house, it’s settled down. Oklahoma City has a great environment, but Anro has no time to enjoy it. The day after he signed the contract, he immediately went to Orlando with the team to participate in the summer league.

　　 On July 3rd, the 2016 Orlando Summer League officially opened. This time the participating teams include 10 teams including Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers.

　　 Generally, the main players and main substitutes of each team will not participate in the summer league. They will seize all the time to rest. Players participating in the summer league can include fringe players of the team, free agents, NBA Development League players, international players and so on. These people have only one goal, which is to use the summer league to gain trust and not be cut, and strive to have a good performance in the next season. For example, some highly promising high school or college players sometimes use the summer league to prove their strength, which is very good for them in the future draft.

　　 The Thunder players are all sophomores and rookies this time, but not many have contracts. Westbrook came to Oakland with the team this time to cheer on his junior brother An Luo. He had seen An Luo play, but it was college basketball.

　　 In the first game, the opponent is the Dallas Mavericks.

　　 The two teams always played very close together. Although it is a summer league, for many players participating in the game, this is their official game in the NBA. So everyone played very seriously.

　　 Until the last 10.4 seconds of the game, the Mavericks still led by 2 points. But at the crucial moment, An Luo stood up and hit a three-pointer with 3.6 seconds left in the game. It is with this ball that the Thunder finally beat the Mavericks by 1 point.

　　 In the whole game, five Thunder scored in double figures. In addition to scoring the winning three-pointer, Anluo also scored a team-high 20 points, plus 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Dakari Johnson had 12 points and 9 rebounds, and Mitch McGary had 13 points and 3 rebounds.

　　 On the Mavericks side, 4 people scored in double figures. Andre Dawkins scored a team-high 16 points, Van der Bleu scored 14 points, Maquistig had 9 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds. But it’s worth mentioning that in this campaign, the Mavericks made 18 turnovers, while the Thunder’s turnovers were 0. However, other people’s hit rates are average, and they haven’t been able to convert mistakes into points.

　　 Westbrook is very excited. It’s not that the team won, but because of An Luo. The team has such a stable scorer without the ball, for his style of the first position, it couldn’t be more comfortable. And Westbrook can see that An Luo’s defensive skills are not weak, and he can help the team in the NBA~www.wuxiax.com~ An Luo himself is very excited, can his three-point shooting ability? Perfectly adapting to the NBA’s longer three-point line, which he has been worried about, is also something everyone is worried about.

　　 It seems that my bracelet is still very humane. He specifically made several three-pointers from a position close to one meter away from the three-point line, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

　　 After a fight, An Luo felt dull. Such a group of players hovering on the edge of the NBA temporarily gather to play games. There is almost no tactical cooperation. Most offenses rely on personal ability. These guys are basically the ones who don’t let go when they get the ball.

　　 The next day, July 4th. A piece of news was announced, which caused a violent turmoil in the entire league.

“Whether as a player or as an individual, I understand that I need to change. I am eager to grow and find a right track. Leaving the city I am accustomed to, go to a new city, where can give me the best opportunity to let I grew up to be a real man. So, I decided to join the Warriors.”

　　 Durant in the “Player Forum”, Durant announced this decision. He left the Thunder for nine seasons and brought his talent to the Warriors. Teamed up with the Splash Brothers and Green to form the most luxurious Big Four combination in the history of the league.

　　 Of course the most injured are the Thunder fans and Westbrook. Especially the latter, you know, a few days ago, he and Collison had a meal with Durant and had a great conversation. Durant categorically told Westbrook that he would not leave and would stay in Oklahoma City.
