Chapter 82: Advice

The last place Anjie wants to go into now is the team's training ground on the first floor of the Chesapeake Energy Arena. As soon as www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion stepped into this stadium, a strong sense of depression came to his face, and this feeling filled the air of the entire training ground and lingered.

Anjie was the third to arrive, and Durant and Westbrook were already shooting warm-up on the training floor. Durant is indeed relatively quiet off the court in normal times, but Westbrook, who usually giggles, has a lot less smiles and words during this time.

It's been almost a month since the start of the 08-09 season, but the Thunder have only managed one win in the month. For the three young people who were full of expectations for the new season, this blow is indeed a bit big.

12-1 win, the Thunder and Lakers are both first in the latest power rankings, but the Thunder are the last one. In the face of such an achievement, how can three competitive young people laugh?

However, even if the team's results are poor, Durant and Westbrook still have a chance to play hard. And An Jie has not played more than 13 minutes in nine consecutive games, not only does the team not know how to play, An Jie now feels as if he is about to not play.

The three young men practiced in the training ground like this, and no one paid attention to anyone. It's not that there is a conflict between them, it's that they are really not in the mood to do such a thing as saying hello now.

Just when the three of them were thinking about themselves on the training ground, the culprit who caused the total collapse of this team, P.J. Calesimo, came in.

All three turned their heads to look at their head coach and didn't greet him, and Calesimo hurried into his office, looking preoccupied.

Calesimo closed the door to his office and slumped back in his chair, and the day finally came.

A few hours earlier, Presti had called Calesimo and given him an ultimatum that if the Thunder lost one more game and ended a ten-game losing streak, Presti would have to fire him as head coach.

If Presti hadn't seen everyone coming out of the Spurs, Callesimo would have been fired a long time ago. This general manager gave Calesimo opportunities again and again, but Calesimo also challenged Presti's bottom line with repeated failures.

The Thunder are indeed not a strong team, but Calesimo has to at least give people a little hope, and he has to at least let the Thunder play something. Unfortunately, under the coaching of Calesimo, the Thunder team with full potential has a bleak future.

Calesimo has always used the Thunder's sparse roster as an excuse to cover up his lack of coaching ability. However, at this point, Calesimo's shield can be regarded as completely useless.

Tomorrow, November 21, 2008, the Thunder will host the Hornets led by Chris Paul. Whether Kalesimo's job can be saved or not depends on this game.

Thinking of this, Calesimo suddenly rushed out of the basketball hall, he had to supervise the group of guys to train all the way, otherwise he would really lose face after tomorrow's game.

"Anjie!What's the matter with you!?You can't cover this kind of ball!?"

"Russell!

"Mason, if you can't do it, give me an honest water dispenser tomorrow!"

It was unprecedented for Kalesimo to shout from the sidelines of the training pitch, but this did not boost the motivation of the players, but only increased the disgust of the players. Pathetic Kalesimo, who has not yet learned how to get along with his players. If the coach and the players don't even have a good relationship, how can the team get results?

The sudden increase in the intensity of training has no effect other than to make the players waste energy, which even Presti in the office knows, but Calesimo has lost his mind in order to save his job.

After the training, An Jie went home directly, and he had given up training for a week. Anyway, no matter how hard I train, I can only sit on the cold bench and act as a spectator in the end. Not being recognized for your efforts is one of the easiest factors for people to give up.

As soon as he entered the house and lay on the sofa, An Jie's mobile phone rang. Generally, family members and Catherine will not take the initiative to call in order not to disturb An Jie's training, and they will call them when An Jie is free.

"It can't be Catherine worrying about me again, right?" An Jie thought, and took out the phone. However, the name of the caller ID on the phone screen surprised An Jie.

"Is that you, buddy?" asked An Jie cautiously.

"Who the is your fellow, you coward. On the other end of the phone, there was Morris's yelling voice.

An Jie was speechless for a while, he didn't know why Morris suddenly called to scold him.

"Why, after becoming a star, the life of a drunken fan has made you fall?" Morris and Anjie are like this, completely open-mouthed.

"Look for yourself how you've played in these few games, no, it's not a few, it'******s been nine games in a row, what have you been doing on the field? I said, if you disgrace the Whirlwinds, I'm not going to admit to having you as a teammate. An Jie understood the intention of Morris's call, but An Jie had heard enough of this conversation in the past few days, and he was already immune.

"Can I be blamed for that? It's all because the manager didn't give me a chance. An Jie responded indifferently.

"Oh, listen! This sissy has already started to make excuses for herself! Who do you think you ****** are!? You're just a twelfth pick, a rookie who was abandoned by the team as soon as he was drafted. Why is the manager giving you a chance, do you think you're LeBron or Cameron?" Morris's words became heavier and heavier. Even if An Jie admits that Morris and he are good brothers, Morris is talking like this, and An Jie is a little angry when he listens.

"What's wrong with you?" Anjie suppressed the anger in his heart, and he tried to convince himself that Morris had no ill intentions.

"No, I just want to tell you that you keep making excuses for yourself like this, I really look down on you. With that, Morris hung up. Morris on the other end of the phone suddenly regretted that he had gone too far, and hoped that kid would wake up.

An Jie listened for a long time to the phone that had already been busy, and every word Morris said just now pierced his heart.

Morris, his former best friend on the Whirlwinds, now says the same about him. Speaking of Morris, how have the Cyclones played recently? Anyway, I was free today, so Anjie turned on the computer and entered the official website of the NCAA.

Clicking on the basketball section of the NCAA Sports League, An Jie skillfully opened the record table of the Big 12 League. The Whirlwinds are much better than the Thunder, and they are currently in third place in the Big Twelve League.

Anjie clicked on the highlights of the most recent game, which was last Sunday's Whirlwind game against the Missouri Tigers.

In the first 30 seconds, Anjie watched with enthusiasm, and Anthony Ben's dunk and Cruze's three-pointer made him feel like he was back to the good old days. But when he reached the thirty-second second, An Jie's eyes suddenly widened!

On the screen, a big black man in the No. 32 jersey of the Whirlwinds viciously covers the layup of the Missouri Tigers small forward. This jersey Anjie is all too familiar, and for a while Anjie wore it every game, even when he went to the NBA team tryout a few months ago, Anjie wore this jersey.

The person on the screen is none other than Andrew Morris!

"Maurice he ...... He's back!?" Anjie turned off the video in disbelief and directly found out the data of all the games of the Whirlwind team this season. Sure enough, Morris played in every game, and although he didn't play much, Morris's performance was much better than Anjie's.

It was only then that Anjie understood the meaning of Morris's nasty words just now. Morris is fighting hard for Anjie and Taylor, and now seeing Anjie sinking like this, Morris has to remind his good brother in his own way.

Morris has experienced a lot more pain than Angel has experienced, ruptured his Achilles tendon and is out of action for almost a year. Anjie's setback is not a setback at all compared to Morris!

At this time, An Jie realized how weak he had become, and just didn't get enough playing time, and An Jie began to give up on himself. As everyone knows, Morris, who has suffered more than himself, is now working hard for his future. Thinking of this, An Jie felt ashamed of herself!

"Hmph, damn the big brute, I won't lose to you this time either!" An Jie suddenly came to his senses, and those suppressed feelings were swept away in an instant. Now he only wants to fight, eager to give his best on the court!

Tomorrow's game will be a game that will decide the fate of many people! Whether Calesimo can stay in the team and whether An Jie's strong return can be successful, these will be revealed one by one in tomorrow's game!
