Chapter 140: Revisiting the Golden State
"Hey man, we've had a good season, second so far. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Although the ranking is the same as last season, due to our increased popularity, the leader says that we are almost in the range of the March Madness tournament. Well, I didn't let you down and Mike, and I didn't let the team sink after you two were gone. The new guys aren't bad either, but they're ...... How so...... Personality doesn't have my appetite, so I still miss you and Mike. By the way, it doesn't seem like the two of you have been going well lately, there are rumors that Mike may be cut by the Trail Blazers, and you, the team has been plagued by injuries and the road to the playoffs has not been smooth. I can only wish you both the best of luck, this is the last regular season game of the season, I'm about to fulfill my dream of March Madness, and you and Mike have to do the good work! No one can afford to lose! ”
The Whirlwind team also had a game today, and Morris sent such a text message to Anjie before the game to encourage the "Whirlwind Three Musketeers" who dominated the game that year. Since Angel and Taylor are so busy, the three of them don't have much time to connect with each other at all. However, the brief text message greetings and chats between the three of them have never been interrupted.
This is the Whirlwinds' final regular season game of the season, and after this game, the Whirlwinds will once again show themselves on the stage of March Madness. Morris was naturally very excited, and such emotions could only be shared with his closest friends. Anjie and Mike. Taylor is Morris's two closest friends.
Time really flies, a year ago An Jie was still fighting for the qualification for Crazy March, just over 360 days later, An Jie has become a professional player, has played against stars who can only be seen on TV before, has participated in a much-anticipated NBA All-Star Weekend, and his goal has also changed from Crazy March to NBA playoffs.
An Jie is sitting in the team bus at the moment, heading back to back to Oracle Arena with a broken lineup. Facing that group of warriors who have fought like chickens again, this game is exhausting just thinking about it.
"Come on Xiaojie."
"Be careful not to get hurt."
"If you're too tired, tell the coach not to wear out your body too much."
In addition to Maurice, Anjie always receives a lot of text messages before each game, Catherine, Divac, parents, Muslav...... No matter who it is, An Jie keeps their blessings in his heart.
"Hey, yes, it's going to be a game. Trust me, I'm going to give my best. Westbrook, on the other hand, was talking to his family on the phone before the game, as is customary. Everything was so normal, except for Malik, who joined the team before the trade deadline. Ross and Saab. Outside of Sephorosa, everything is the same as usual. But An Jie felt a special feeling that a big war was coming.
The Suns' recovery has been swift, and the Jazz have been recovering from the old coach Jerry. Sloan's leadership will not be easily left behind, and if you want to squeeze into the playoffs, every game is indeed a big battle for the Thunder. Especially after losing to their direct rivals Suns in their last game, the situation facing the Thunder is even more precarious.
"Although the two sides are not strong teams, they always have a spark when they meet. The Warriors played the mighty Los Angeles Lakers to the last second in their last game, and I'm sure they have no reason to relax against the Thunder! "Mike. Brin once again commented on the Thunder's game, and he just wanted to see with his own eyes how the group of young people could get out of the predicament, or simply be blocked by the difficulties.
"The last game was a shame! What about defense!? What do we practice the most!? "Jeff. Van Gundy recalled the warm-up players early, and in the locker room he loudly questioned his boys.
"It's defense, coach." Durant replied in a low voice that the Thunder were completely carried into the rhythm of the Suns' frantic offense in the last game. Against the Suns, the score of 140-122 was the result.
"Defend! Where we stand! Our Defense! Our positivity! You've all thrown it away for me! Van Gundy rarely gets angry, but the squad is incomplete and that doesn't excuse the team's mess. Looking at the sleepwalking performance of the Thunder boys in the last game, Van Gundy also had a feeling of hating iron and steel.
"No matter how those guys at Oracle Stadium play, I want you to defend well! They want to defeat us again and again with a sudden madness, and use defense to tell them that it is impossible! ”
There was silence below, and being scolded by Van Gundy like this, everyone fell into reflection.
"It's another defeat, this time it's our home field, there's no reason to let this pseudo-strong team go wild in Auckland!" The Warriors are on their side, although Don. Coach Nelson didn't say anything, but team leader Stephen Murphy. Jackson would not let go of this opportunity to fan the flames.
Jackson has been dubbed the "bad boy" since he played for the Pacers. The reason why the current Warriors are fearless and dare to compete with opponents who are much stronger than themselves can be said to be the main reason for the banditry brought by Jackson. Under his leadership, the Warriors have frequently played extraordinarily, and even the Celtics Big Three have suffered defeats against them.
After all, Stephen. Jackson was the man who led the Warriors to the Black Eight Miracle, and he was restless, but very professional. Victory, this is Stephen. Jackson played the only goal of the game.
"Monta, don't be afraid later, make more moves. With the Suns scoring 140 points, the Thunder's defense is not worth mentioning at all! "Stephen. Jackson patted Monta. Alice's shoulder. The small guard has just returned from injury this season, and he is one of Jackson's most trusted teammates, because it was he who assisted Jackson and Byron. Davis completed the Black Eight Miracle.
"Don't worry I'm not going to attack, I'm afraid you won't want to share the ball." Monta. Alice is also not a good stubble, and her reckless style of play is often criticized. But one thing that no one dares to deny is that this guy's scoring ability is really strong.
"Hahahaha, I'm relieved! Let's do it! Drive back the rookies who grew up in the greenhouse! ”
"Roar!" Everyone followed Stephen. Jackson shouted with a fist. In the locker room at Oracle Stadium, Jackson is more like the head coach who is in control.
"The Thunder can't easily give up their chance to win now, and compared to opponents such as the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors are undoubtedly their chance to win! Van Gundy and the Thunder can't let their chances slip away if they still want to make the playoffs! ”
While the commentators of various TV stations were still analyzing the situation, the scene had already come to introduce the starting players.
Although the Warriors' poor results this season can already be said to have nothing to do with the playoffs. But this group of players who never admit defeat is deeply loved by the fans. So when the announcer shouted the names of the Warriors' starters, the call at Oracle Stadium was no less loud than in places like the Staples Center.
Stephen. Jackson pointed at the Thunder Sanshao after appearing, and then made a neck wiping motion. There is no doubt that the Warriors' chicken blood was scored by this guy.
An Jie didn't respond so arrogantly, but he clenched his fists. Isn't it just defense, that's the rhythm he likes!
The disciplined blue and white lightning and the banditry warriors collide again, but this time, the victory or defeat will be crucial for the Thunder team! (To be continued.) )
