LeBron James, this guy has often been seen on TV before, but I didn't expect that I could compete with such a person. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But in the same way, James's strength is more terrifying than what he sees on TV. Only after fighting him in person will you understand how powerful that guy is.

He scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in 43 minutes on the court, and even after playing on the court for a long time, his shooting rate was still as high as 58%! This is the strength of the first person in the future league who has been hyped up, if it weren't for the fact that he was still young and had not won a championship, the prefix "future" could have been removed.

As the Thunder's number one offensive point in this game, Anjie scored 23 points and 10 rebounds, but only had 5 assists. The first is because Anjie has more independent attacks, so there are naturally fewer passes. The second is because Durant wasted too many opportunities, and several wonderful passes failed to turn into assists.

However, 5 assists, in the center position, is not less.

Like Yao Ming, James originally planned to invite An Jie to dinner the next day, but due to the intensive schedule of the NBA, An Jie had to refuse James's kindness.

After playing this game with the Cavaliers on the 21st, the next day the Thunder will fly non-stop to Atlanta to prepare for the game against the Hawks the day after tomorrow, that is, on the 23rd.

After confronting James, the Thunder and the three young men all felt physically and mentally exhausted. They were already tired, but when they thought that they would have to run a long distance again the next day, and then continue to play on the third day, they felt even more tired.

That's the life of a professional footballer, and behind those glamorous stories, it's more about training, flying, playing, training, flying, playing...... And so on and so forth, for a full 82 games. If you're "lucky" enough to make the playoffs, congratulations, you'll have to give everything for the championship while others are already enjoying the holidays, and there's a good chance that that the effort won't be rewarded.

The next day, the Thunder departed from Oklahoma after regular training, so by the time they arrived in Atlanta, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

As soon as he stepped on the plane and stepped on the soil of Atlanta, An Jie felt that he was very uncomfortable even breathing. After all, Atlanta sits on Mount Abara at an altitude of 350 meters. As one of the three major alpine cities in the United States, the thin air here has not eased up for a while.

After all the formalities, the Thunder bus made a low-key ride through downtown Atlanta, and by the time all the players had checked into their allotted hotel rooms, the time had become 10 p.m.

An Jie directly turned his head and lay down on the bed, he really didn't understand where the players who went out to have fun after the game got the energy.

Even though Anjie is coming to Atlanta for the first time, even if the night view of Atlanta outside the hotel is very charming, the tired Anjie has no desire to go out at all.

"Damn, I brought several sets of clothes, and I didn't have time to wear them out and hang out. Westbrook, who lives in the same room as Anjie, took a lot of effort to pack his bags, and the Zero defender has a unique and avant-garde taste in dressing, and is often the focus of reporters' cameras.

"Wash and sleep, Russell, do you really think the boss brought us to Atlanta for tourism?"

If Westbrook's teammate had been a guy like Michael Beasley, he might have been tempted to hang out with Beasley. But fortunately, Westbrook's personality is flamboyant, and Anjie is relatively restrained, which makes them a good complement and mutual constraint. Seeing that An Jie had fallen asleep, Westbrook had no choice but to stay in the hotel obediently.

But even so, the tired Thunder still couldn't find their form in the next day's game.

Maybe it really took a lot of physical strength for the Thunder to play against the Cavaliers, and now on the court, the Thunder players feel that they can't take a step. Due to the training of the Riccard devil, Anjie's physical strength in the NCAA is already considered top-notch. However, in the face of the intensive schedule of the NBA, Anjie realized how happy Ricard's previous physical training intensity was.

Although playing at home, the Hawks, who played back-to-back games, were not much better, with the two teams having extremely low offensive efficiency and an increase in low-level turnovers, making it hard to believe that this was an NBA-level matchup.

It's not about who can do better, it's about who can avoid being the worst. In the end, the young Thunder still "won" the battle for who was the worst.

With 12 turnovers in the game, this statistic is a straightforward reflection of the Thunder's performance in this game. Jeff Van Gundy was so angry off the field that he smashed a new tactical board, watching his sleepless night come up with a countermeasure that was not cracked by the opponent, but so ruined by his own players, which coach could bear it?

In the end, the Thunder lost their last road trip before Christmas 98-88, which was also the first time that the Thunder swallowed the bitter fruit of a losing streak since Jeff Van Gundy took over the team.

"The team went from five wins in a row to two in a row, what do you think caused the situation to be where it is now? "At the post-game press conference, reporters will naturally not spare the Thunder generals.

"My lads and I don't know how to say rest anymore, and if the league could have shortened the regular season, we'd be in a much better shape. Jeff Van Gundy used the media as a weapon to once again complain about the league's extremely unscientific schedule.

"You mean that as long as the Thunder have enough energy, you can win against the Hawks?"

"I didn't say anything like that, here's what you said. Jeff Van Gundy's response to such a journalist is to be indifferent to him.

"Ann, you only had 13 points and 7 rebounds in this game, do you think your body can't keep up with the pace of the NBA schedule?"

"I just didn't feel good, and the NBA schedule wasn't difficult for me. Even if he tells a lie, he can't admit that he is exhausted now.

No matter what the Thunder guys say, the next day's newspaper still questioned them. The essence of what weak team is exposed, and what four consecutive wins and five consecutive wins are just a return to the past. All sorts of headlines, all sorts of brainstorms, and the Thunder players and coaches threw these newspapers into all sorts of trash.

Although they lost, the Thunder knew that as long as they could get a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, they would be able to play their true level in the next game. Let them say what the outside world likes to say, the Thunder's favorite thing to do is to surprise everyone.

The day after the game, Christmas Eve came as scheduled, on this day the NBA did not schedule any games, and the Thunder team also got a rare Christmas Eve and Christmas two consecutive days off.

However, today, the outside of the Chesapeake Energy Arena has been covered in snow, the team is all on vacation, and even Van Gundy has temporarily put down work to return to his family, but Anjie is still sweating in the training ground wearing only a jersey.

He doesn't stop practicing on his days off, which is a habit that An Jie developed in college. Tomorrow Christmas, under his arrangement, this year's Christmas should be much more lively than last year, so there is really no time to train tomorrow, and An Jie can only finish tomorrow's share on Christmas Eve.

From noon wearing a down jacket and driving his car into the stadium to 8 o'clock in the evening, An Jie has never left the training ground for a single step. In this cold winter, An Jie soaked four jerseys with his sweat.

Anjie is too tired to speak now, and the Chesapeake Energy Arena has security guards 24 hours a day, so Anjie doesn't have to worry about leaving too late.

He was lying on the physiotherapy bed in the locker room, but of course, the physiotherapist had already left work, and An Jie stared blankly at the white ceiling in the locker room, full of anticipation for tomorrow's Christmas Eve.

"Father and mother must have been on the plane by now, right? And, of course, the girl...... After so much separation, we can finally see each other again tomorrow. Thinking of this, the tired An Jie smiled happily at the ceiling.
