Chapter 122: A Strong January

The massacre, the exhausted bulls were powerless in overtime. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Derrick Rose's two beautiful goals were all the Bulls could do in overtime.

Looking at Anjie and Westbrook, who high-fived each other, Rose knew that his road to winning the Rookie of the Year award was still very bumpy. Maybe he didn't have any opponents in the east, but in the west, these two guys were already one goal ahead of him.

"28 points, 12 rebounds, and another career high in points, do you want to know what kind of stats Derrick Rose has got?" This time, the reporter sent by ESPN to the scene was actually blonde sister Doris Burke. She's definitely a front-line reporter for ESPN, and she usually appears in high-profile games, especially in the playoffs and Christmas games. Her presence here also highlights ESPN's focus on this game from another aspect.

"Derek must have gotten two doubles, and we suffered a lot from his breakthrough today. Angel was impressed with Rose's perverted breakthrough and ability to dodge blocks in the air.

"16 points, six assists, that's the stats Rose got today. In the second half, your defense kept Rose at bay, and four of your five blocks in the game were from Derrick Rose, and you were able to play like that against the top pick, do you think it's a bit unfair that the NBA didn't award you last month's Rookie of the Year?" Doris Burke was kind, but there was also a mystery in her question.

"There's nothing unfair about it, Russell and Derek are very good players and they deserve that honour, it's just that I played better in this game, but that doesn't mean they're not as good as me. Anjie replied very tactfully, praising himself for both Westbrook and Rose.

"Okay, thank you Anjie, congratulations on getting the Man of the Match and winning the game. "It's not the first time that ESPN has rated An Jie as the best in the game, and they are really optimistic about this Chinese.

Not only ESPN, but also managers of other teams are gradually showing more interest in Anjie. There have been more and more faxes on Presti's desk lately, and many team managers have privately inquired about the possibility of Presti trading Anjie. But Presti's answer was particularly consistent, not tradable!

Anjie has only played for less than half a season, and he has already shown considerable potential. Presti's brain is not broken, Durant, Westbrook and Anjie, these three people will be the central axis of the Thunder in the next five or even ten years, and Presti will also build a lineup around the three of them in the future. It's okay to trade, but Presti's asking price is definitely unacceptable to most teams.

After this match, Anjie has surpassed O.J. Mayo and his teammate Westbrook in the rookie prediction list in a row, and is only second behind Derrick Rose. Even last year's first-class centre-forward Greg Oden failed to do that. Inside players, it's been a long time since there's been so much attention.

With this victory, the Thunder have moved to 10th in the West and 14th in the league. The Thunder, who won just 20 games last year, are now a team with a chance to make the playoffs. For a team that has gone through a 10-game losing streak, this transformation is already quite impressive.

After beating the Bulls, the Thunder went all the way and won several opponents in a row.

The Nets, Jazz, and Pistons, all three of these teams were defeated by the Thunder, who were in the limelight. Aaron Iverson was furious after the game, he couldn't believe he could lose to three rookies, and twice in a row!

Everyone is expecting another five-game winning streak from the Thunder on January 18 when they travel to the East to take on the Miami Heat.

Watching Anjie score easily on the court again and again, Pat Riley's face became more and more ugly. The rookie had tried out at the American Airlines Center, and even Riley had a good chance of keeping him at the American Airlines Center to assist Wade. But it's a pity that this time An Jie came back, but his identity became an enemy of the Heat team.

Looking at his hand-picked "All-American First Talent", Pat Riley wished that he could turn back the clock, and if he could make another choice, he would definitely be willing to use the second pick to pick Anjie instead of choosing a Michael Beasley who couldn't find his rhythm for a long time.

Dwyane Wade finds himself having to do everything in his power to score points at the rookie center, and the guy who was so nervous during the tryout at the American Airlines Center that he couldn't even speak has now become one of the Thunder's most cold-blooded killers on the inside, specializing in stifling the Heat's offense.

However, the overall strength of the Heat team is always above the Thunder, in addition to the 32 points and 10 assists of "Flash" Wade, the Heat team also has five players scoring double-doubles.

On the other hand, the Thunder are really a team that relies on rookies to support them. Durant scored 31 points, Anjie 22 points, Westbrook 18 points, and the three rookies still performed eye-catchingly, but apart from the three of them, the Thunder did not have a fourth player who scored more than 10 points.

Mario Chalmers, who was selected in the second round of last season's NCAA MOP, is undoubtedly an eternal regret in his heart. However, in this game, he played at the level that MOP should be in front of Westbrook.

Chalmers, who got the chance to start, scored 13 points, although the score was not high, but compared to Michael Beasley, who "slashed" four points on one of four shots, he performed very well as a second-round pick.

Pat Riley couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if the two people he had chosen were Chalmers and Angel......

Although Pat Riley regretted that the Thunder were still strong, the Heat still won 104-94 against the Thunder under the leadership of the Flash. Wade knows what Iverson has been going through lately, and he doesn't want to repeat the Pistons' old path, and the Flash refuses to suffer on the rookie.

The dream of a five-game winning streak was ruthlessly shattered by the Flash, but now no one will question the Thunder, no team can win all the time, and the Thunder's three rookies have done well enough.

The Thunder were given a rare two-day respite after the loss to the Heat, and on the third day they will travel to Oakland to face old rivals Golden State Warriors again.

The Warriors consider themselves very close to the Thunder, mainly because of the incredible performance of the Warriors in the first meeting between the two sides. So the confrontation between these two teams is always very exciting.

The Thunder and Warriors did not disappoint the fans, with both sides playing high scores and strong offensive desires.

The Thunder all scored more than 20 points, while the Warriors' Stephen Jackson, Kailana Azubuuk and Kerry Margeti also scored a lot.

Jeff Van Gundy really can't understand why every time the Warriors meet the Thunder, they behave like they have been beaten with blood, and everyone is eager to tear the basket apart.

However, in the final moments, Jeff Van Gundy forced the players to focus more on defense, and in the face of the sudden increase in defensive intensity, the Warriors played very inefficiently in the last few rounds, and the Thunder also seized the opportunity to win the crazy game in one go.

122-118, such a high score did not displease Jeff Van Gundy, because the Thunder's defense actually allowed the Warriors to score 118 points.

Durant scored 30 points, Anjie 27 points and 10 rebounds, Westbrook 26 points, and the collective outburst of these three young people forced the Warriors to swallow the defeat.

And An Jie's frequent cutting of large doubles has already become the darling of the media and fans. There are fears that after Yao Ming and O'Neal retire, the league's traditional centers will disappear. But now, the appearance of An Jie can be regarded as a successor to the position of center forward.

The data is getting better and better, and AnJie has more and more commercial contracts. These things will undoubtedly take up a lot of Anjie's training and rest time, and it is not without reason why many NBA players have been stagnant for several years.

"Well, now that this guy is so popular, aren't you going to sell me these photos? Wait, isn't this another self-written and self-directed news, are you sure your photos are real? ”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to shoot fake news. Do you know this girl? Yes, no, why would I pick an unknown girl to hype up if I want to hype? A man smug looked at the photos in his hand, which he had secretly taken more than a year ago, when An Jie was still a nobody playing in the NCAA.

"Very good, I want all your photos, if something goes wrong you have to carry it alone, I won't help you. With that, the other man hung up the phone.

As soon as a person becomes famous, he has almost no private life to speak of. All the time, almost every corner of life is exposed to people's gaze.

Revealing other people's privacy for money is what journalists and media outlets do best. (To be continued.) )
