Chapter 151: This is the battlefield, gentlemen!
At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, at 6:30 p.m. on March 2, Van Gundy had brought his players into the stadium for a pre-match warm-up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since there was still an hour and a half before the eight o'clock game time, the intensity of the warm-up was not great. The players stop and stop, targeted practice, in yesterday's training, Van Gundy has made the players do enough, and now the warm-up only needs to fully activate the body, there is no need to waste too much energy.
Damien. Wilkins was pressing his legs, and he had returned from injury early, but his body had not been able to reach his ideal condition, so Jeff. Van Gundy naturally didn't give him a chance to play. Even if Van Gundy could only rotate with three substitutes, it wouldn't put Wilkins at risk of getting injured again.
But in yesterday's training, Damien. Wilkins was so good that he repeatedly kept Westbrook at bay.
"Get ready for Damien, I need you for tomorrow's game." After training, Jeff. Van Gundy's remarks undoubtedly made Wilkins very excited. His comeback is also a good thing for the entire Thunder team.
The fly in the ointment was that during his injury, the team was a second-round pick Kyle. Weaver shines. Although Weaver is not as good as Wilkins on the defensive end, Weaver's contribution on the offensive end is huge. His impact can make the Thunder more comfortable when switching offense, while Saab. The addition of Sefrosa has undoubtedly further reduced Wilkins' playing time. Sephorosa is also an outside player, and he also has shooting ability that Wilkins doesn't have.
Wilkins wouldn't have complained about anything if it weren't for Jeff. Van Gundy has come in and he may not even get a chance to play right now. In the first game after Van Gundy took over the team, he let Wilkins, who had been on the bench in front, start, a move that undoubtedly made Wilkins very grateful to Van Gundy.
So while he may not have much time to gain in this fight, he intends to use his best performance to conquer Van Gundy again. The virtuous circle of competition has been invisibly spread out in the Thunder team.
"Hey, Damien!" Hearing his name called, Wilkins looked up, only to see a basketball flying towards him, almost hitting him in the face.
"Smack!" Wilkins reacted quickly and controlled the ball with both hands, all of which only happened between lightning and flint, and without a high degree of concentration and quick reflexes, he would not have been able to receive the ball at all, which is also the most basic quality requirement of a professional player.
"Looks like you're in good shape, Damien, I'm glad you're back." To Damien. The person who launched Wilkins' "raid" is none other than the "new core" that the Thunder deserves now, Anjie.
"Come on, pass me a few balls and I'll make a layup." Wilkins smiled and returned the ball to Angel, and the two began a normal set of passes and cuts to warm up.
Relaxed, but serious, that's how the Thunder warmed up throughout the game.
Plain purple short-sleeved, cropped jeans with small feet, and black classic Converse high-top canvas shoes. Tiffany. Giardina's dress today is no longer so gorgeous, and this style of dressing seems to be more in line with the temperament and image of the little girl next door.
"Tickets are given?" Giardina looked at Abrahi's two tickets for the first row of seats and was looking forward to the night.
"Yes, Mr. Presti, the general manager of the Thunder team, made a special trip to send it to me. He was going to invite us to the luxury box, but I think you'd rather be closer to the stadium. Abrahi didn't know why his diva was so interested in basketball, but he could still guess that the luxury box was not the place where Giardina wanted to be.
"Oh! Tiffany! Oh, my God! Why is she here! Outside the Chesapeake Energy Arena, naturally some people recognized this young singer who was not a big hit, but he was famous.
"Oh, can you sign me? Oh my God, is that really you? The female Thunder fan was obviously also a fan of Giardina, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak. Oklahoma City isn't Los Angeles, and it's not uncommon for entertainment stars to appear here.
"That's right, it's me." Giardina smiled softly at the female fans, without any idol at all.
After discovering that someone was asking for autographs, more and more people gathered around Giardina, and it seemed that it would be necessary for Giardina to go through a little more trouble to enter the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"Brush."
"Brush."
"Brush."
"Brush."
Four three-pointers in a row, Dirk. Nowitzki threw it all in. Although it was only a warm-up for the unguarded, it still shows that the "German tank" is in good shape today.
The late Dallas Mavericks didn't delay a second, got off the bus, changed their clothes, warmed up, and got on the court. With Carlisle's leadership, the Texas Cowboys didn't drag their feet at all.
Soon after, reporters walked into the stadium with photographers, and more and more people appeared in the stands, and the atmosphere of the whole game has gradually intensified.
"Hey, Ann, can I delay you a little longer?" Sure enough, the first person the reporters found was not Nowitzki, but An Jie, who had just won the Rookie of the Month award.
"Mr. Colorful Clothes" Craig. Sagarh, who is wearing an aquamarine suit today, is here to interview Anjie, which also proves that Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley must be judging Anjie in the T.NT studio at the moment.
"Just won the Western Conference Rookie of the Year award in February, how do you feel about it?"
"Uh...... It was very exciting, but it was also very stressful because I had to behave well enough to be worthy of the title. Anjie had to bend over as best he could, and Sagar had to lift the microphone as best he could.
"I've been in touch with Big Dream for the past few days, and in the interview he said he'll take the time to come and see you play. Would you be excited if big dreams did come up in a game? I still don't think it matters. Olajuwon's interest in Anjie is the target of Sagar's full inquirement.
'Of course I'm excited, he's the greatest player in my position. If he does come to the Chesapeake Energy Arena, I'm going to do a great job. An Jie is not flattering, although he has been retired for many years, the dance steps of Da Meng still let him remain in people's hearts.
"Okay, one last question, will you go to defend Dirk in this game? You must know that in the last game, you staggered with Dirk, and Dirk scored a full 41 points. ”
Anjie certainly won't forget that game just three days ago, not just because of Nowitzki's 41 points, but also because they lost Durant in that game. After a hard-fought battle, they finally defeated the Germans with Seferosa's stunner, which can be said to be the most intense game in Anjie's career.
"I'm not going to reveal what the team is deploying here, but I'm definitely going to try to defend anyone who is close to the three-second zone." copied the answers, but also hung up the appetite of the fans.
The Mavericks are sure to explode with more power, there's no doubt about it. After a tragic defeat in the last game, they will definitely fight back with all their might this time to snatch back the victory that belongs to them.
The cheers of the fans grew louder and louder, and Giardina felt his blood boiling when he heard the cheers outside in the players' tunnel. That's the beauty of professional sports, and it's not just because of the Chinese boy that she loves basketball.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's congratulate An Jie on becoming the best rookie in the West in February!" Before the game, the official staff of the NBA moved the trophy of the best rookie of the month to the court and presented awards to Anjie.
A crystal clear trophy with a faint watermark of An Jie's photo. An Jie excitedly took his trophy, held the trophy high, and enjoyed the worship of 15,000 people in the audience. Thunder fans have seen their players win this award more than once, but no one can overcount this kind of honor.
"Now, let's get out of Tiffany. Giardina, playing and singing the national anthem. ”
The Thunder and Mavericks players stood in two rows, the lights dimmed throughout the court, and Giardina quickly ran out of the players' tunnel, causing a cheer in the stands.
Giardina took a special look at An Jie when he ran past the Thunder players, and finally, he saw this special Chinese again. However, Anjie paid no attention to Giardina, who stared at him for a few seconds, and his attention fell on Loveski and Dampier, thinking about what to do with them later.
There are sweet-looking girls who don't look at it, but stare at the strong men. If it weren't for the fact that An Jie is a basketball player, his sexual orientation would really be misunderstood.
The beautiful singing voice is still the same, and being able to sing the national anthem so vividly also proves that the young Giardina is not a vase, but a powerful singer.
After the song is finished, the lights are on. Anjie handed the trophy to his assistant coach Alton and headed straight for the centre circle.
The Mavericks' Dampier made no fuss about making eye contact with Anjie, and from that moment on, the Chesapeake Energy Arena was no longer a stage for awards ceremonies and singers.
From this moment on, the Chesapeake Energy Arena has become a battlefield for men! (To be continued.) )
