The Way of the Center

♂,

After seeing the red light on the backboard, Jerry Sloan immediately smashed the tactical board in his hand into two. ?? Facing the Cavaliers on James’ rotation, his team actually performed so poorly.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, he heard the assistant coach say that the Thunder led the Suns by 11 points. For the Suns, who have lost their hopes in the playoffs, they certainly won’t hinder the Thunder too much. In Oklahoma City, those young people should have been celebrating their victory.

“Boss!” Unexpectedly, the assistant coach sitting next to Sloan turned his head abruptly and stared at the score on the phone screen.

“What’s the matter?” Jerry Sloan glanced at the phone that his assistant was holding, but the too small font made him unclear about what was written on it. Isn’t it possible…

“The Suns won on the away game! We…we are the eighth in the West!” The assistant coach shouted excitedly, and the players who had just left the field did not know what they had given birth.

Jerry Sloan snatched the mobile phone from the assistant coach, 99 to 98. The Suns did not give up resistance. They counterattacked in the fourth quarter and defeated the youth army of the Thunder.

“Huh.” Jerry Sloan let out a sigh. It’s ironic that the team played so poorly and even made the playoffs. God actually gave him and Jazz a chance, then he will take it and cherish it!

“You played so badly!” Putting down the phone, Jerry Sloan began to scold his players from the bench.

“Thunder and Suns, their performance is more qualified to play in the playoffs! Now God has given you a chance to redeem, I hope you can seize it!” No joy, no excitement. After scolding, Jerry Sloan walked straight to the player tunnel. Only the players of the Jazz are left, and I don’t know whether to cry or laugh.

“The game is over! Ann couldn’t seize the opportunity! The Thunder fell at the gate of the playoffs!” Kenny Smith was very sorry. The Thunder and the Suns contributed a wonderful game to the audience and the commentary.

“This is West Kenny, this is the **** West.” Even Charles Barkley took it seriously once. The Suns, Thunder, Jazz, let these three very good teams compete with each other for a place in the playoffs, it is indeed too bloody.

“Anyway, these two teams deserve our respect. They are worthy of everyone’s applause.” After speaking, Reggie Miller was the first to applaud. The rookie’s hard work, the veteran is unwilling. In this game, everyone saw a lot of different things.

After seeing the basketball knocking out of the box, An Jie suddenly fell to the ground. He stared blankly at the orange ball bouncing on the ground, because of him, the Thunder’s efforts for a season were in vain.

“Get up, like a man!” A wide palm appeared in front of An Jie, and An Jie looked up, it was O’Neill.

An Jie took O’Neill’s outstretched hand, and the big shark pulled hard, and An Jie only gave some force to his leg and stood up.

“Why, I want to cry!? This is your first season, just a rookie! What you have to do is keep fighting, not crying like a boy. Your road is still long!” O’Neill didn’t know himself. Why do you want to say this to this Chinese boy? He should be happy as a winner. But watching this excellent guy who was in the same position as himself was rejected from the playoffs, he always felt that he should do something.

“Okay kid, neither of our brothers made the playoffs this season. Next season, we will have a good time in the playoffs. No one is allowed to be absent. One season is not a kid, let alone you This season has been quite successful.” O’Neal and An Jie hugged and whispered in An Jie’s ear a whisper that only the two of them could understand. In this twilight period of the center, it is very rare to meet a respectable opponent.

The photographers surrounded the two giants one by one, shooting all the pictures frantically. Wu Hua is no exception, holding a camera and squeezing into the crowd. But he is more trying to figure out the inner emotions of the two big guys.

“Shaq, you won’t be able to beat me anymore in the days to come.” An Jie punched O’Neal’s strong chest.

This guy is more interesting than Yao! O’Neal also smirked and punched in response. At the end of my career, I actually met another Chinese who could compete with me. O’Neill became more and more curious about China.

Westbrook and Durant akimbo, waiting for their big brother to return. They don’t blame An Jie. Without An Jie’s hard work for a season, the Thunder would not be able to make this step.

The last shot is missed, and it is possible to put it on everyone. An Jie’s daring to take on this responsibility is already very remarkable.

18 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks and 6 assists. Can you expect a rookie center to do better? An Jie’s stats against O’Neal and Stoudemire are good enough.

“Hey guys, I failed.” An Jie scratched his head embarrassedly and missed the lore, so that he didn’t know how to face his teammates.

“We failed Ann, we. We all have a part in losing.” Durant and Westbrook greeted them, and the three rookies put each other’s shoulders on each other and walked off the court.

“It’s okay boys! You are the best players in the entire nBa!”

“Spend your holiday well, we will be even better next season!”

“We are no different from winners!”

Giardina wanted to rush to the court to talk to Anjie after the failure, but looking at the current situation, she should not disturb Anjie. At this moment, it belongs only to this group of men who are gloriously defeated.

The road back to the dressing room was not smooth, and the three young masters who were shouldering each other were blocked by reporters.

Although they had just experienced the biggest defeat of the season, the three young men unexpectedly smiled and chatted with each other casually.

“I want to visit China this summer, how about you Kevin?” Westbrook turned his head to Durant.

“If the three of us are together, that’s okay.” Durant made an ok gesture.

“I’m worried that you will be so fat and out of shape after eating my mother’s food. At that time, Van Gundy and Mr. Presti will not spare me.” After O’Neill’s words, Anjie was also right. Try to be optimistic.

Shark is right, this is just the first step in his long career. Although his performance with his teammates this season is not perfect, they have a clear conscience. Now, it’s time to relax their tight nerves a bit.

Pushing open the locker room door, the reporters had to give up filming and wait outside the door. After all, the players’ locker room is not a place where you can enter anytime.

Van Gundy sat tiredly in front of the whiteboard, and when he took over the Thunder’s “mess”, he didn’t even think about making the playoffs. But the performance of his players made him feel ashamed of this idea at the beginning.

“Okay guys, sit down.” Van Gundy waved his palm to signal the players to be quiet.

“Thank you for enriching my coaching career. It is a great honor for me to cooperate with you this season.” Jeff Van Gundy stood up and bowed to the players. When he was about to give up his job as a head coach, it was these lads who put him on the right track again.

“We have to thank you too, boss. We wouldn’t be able to make this step if it weren’t for you.” An Jie stood up and said this sentence and won the approval of all his teammates.

The protection and care of Jeff Van Gundy’s opponents are naturally seen and remembered by the players. No matter how busy you are, you can always see Van Gundy in the hospital when you are injured.

No matter how early you come to the training ground, Van Gundy must have been working here for a long time.

Action is the best way to conquer others. Even the head coach is no exception.

“Okay guys, I have to go to that **** news conference. Who of you wants to go?”

As soon as Van Gundy’s voice fell, the three thunder masters stood up in unison. Van Gundy will take all three of them to attend 80% of the press conferences this season. And these three people have also become accustomed to participating in the news conference after the game.

“Let’s go, the reporters must have been waiting impatiently.”

………………..

“Ann’s last shot was shot against the defense of two people. Didn’t it break your arrangement!”

“If Ann passes the ball at the last minute, is the team already within the playoffs?”

“How did the tactics of the last shot be arranged in the beginning?”

The reporters all pointed the finger at Anjie, it was precisely because he missed the last shot that led to the team’s failure. Only An Jie, who was on the court at the time, knew that to shoot, that was the only choice.

“Ann’s choice is okay, we just lack some luck.” Van Gundy didn’t fall into the trap of reporters at all.

“What is the team’s goal for next season?” English with this accent is not American. Sure enough, the person who raised his hand and stood up was Wu Hua.

“Next season? People think we should be bad. After all, our rebuilding work has just begun. But next season, our goal is still the playoffs!” Van Gundy is full of confidence, as long as the three young people around him are not. Question, then the Thunder will have no problem!

“Ann, if the full score is 10, how would you rate your rookie season performance?” The espn reporter asked this cliché, but it is always eye-catching.

“Seven points, many times my performance is based on the support of my teammates. Without them, I would not have performed so well.”

“What about Russell? How would you rate him?” The reporter smirked.

“7.5 points, if his pants can have fewer holes, I will give him 8 points.” An Jie also made fun of Westbrook’s unique style of wearing. Westbrook is not embarrassed, but instead He also laughed. Today, he is wearing a pair of black jeans full of holes.

It’s up to people to make a joke. If it’s Anjie and him~www.wuxiax.com~, there is no problem at all.

Chesapeake Energy Arena did not sink into sadness and regret as people thought, on the contrary, the atmosphere here was cheerful and lively.

This is not because the Thunder team is not enterprising, but because they and outsiders know that the Thunder team is really full of hope. This season, it was just a foreshadowing before they succeeded.

An Jie’s first NBA season has finally come to an end. After a long career, even greater difficulties will be waiting for him to personally defeat.

On April 15, 2oo9, the o8-o9 season nBa regular season officially ended. Vs24, the yellow-green battle, the Spurs counterattack, the focus of everyone’s discussion is concentrated on the playoffs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder quickly disappeared into the playoffs. However, the threat of the three young people to the alliance is gradually increasing.

(Recently, I have been busy and can only stabilize two changes. It may take a while to add updates for you.
