When Jerry Sloan saw the red light on the rebound, he immediately smashed the tactical board in his hand in two. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Facing the Cavaliers with James resting, his team actually played so poorly.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, he heard the assistant coach say that the Thunder led the Suns by 11 points. For the Suns, who have lost their playoff hopes, they certainly won't hinder the Thunder too much. In Oklahoma City, the young men must have been celebrating their victory.

"Boss!" Unexpectedly, the assistant coach sitting next to Sloan turned his head sharply and stared at the score on the screen of his phone.

"What's wrong?" Jerry Sloan glanced at his assistant's phone, but the small font made it difficult for him to read what was written on it......

"The Suns won on the road......! We're eighth in the West!" the assistant coach shouted excitedly, and the players who had just come off the court didn't know what was going on.

Jerry Sloan snatched the phone from the assistant coach's hand, and 99-98, the Suns did not give up their resistance, and they fought back in the fourth quarter to defeat the Thunder, a youth army.

"Whew. "Jerry Sloan breathed a sigh of relief that the team was playing so badly and making the playoffs. God has given him and Sir a chance, so he will take advantage of it and cherish it!

"You're playing so badly!" Jerry Sloan began to reprimand his players from the bench after putting down his phone.

"Thunder and Suns, their performance is more qualified to play in the playoffs! Now God has given you a chance to redeem, I hope you can take advantage of it!" After scolding, Jerry Sloan walked straight to the players' tunnel. Only the Jazz players were left, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"The game is over! Ann couldn't take his chance! The Thunder fell on the door of the playoffs!" Kenny Smith lamented that both the Thunder and the Suns contributed a great game to the audience and commentary.

"This is Kenny of the West, this is the fucking West. "Even Charles Barkley was a rare serious one. The Suns, Thunder, Jazz, it is indeed too bloody to have these three very good teams compete with each other for playoff spots.

"Either way, both teams deserve our respect. They deserve everyone's applause. With that, Reggie Miller was the first to applaud. The hard work of rookies, the unwillingness of veterans. This game made everyone see a lot of different things.

After An Jie saw the basketball knock out of the frame, he suddenly fell to the ground. He stared blankly at the orange ball bouncing on the ground as he unleashed a season of hard work by the Thunder.

"Get up, like a man!" A wide palm appeared in front of An Jie's eyes, and An Jie looked up to see that it was O'Neill.

An Jie held O'Neill's outstretched hand, and the big shark pulled hard, and An Jie only gave a little force to his legs, and then stood up.

"Why, this is going to cry!? This is your first season, rookie! You still have a long way to go!" O'Neill didn't know why he was saying this to this Chinese kid, he should have been happy as the victor. But seeing this excellent guy in the same position as himself being rejected from the playoffs, he always felt that he should do something.

"Alright boy, neither of us made the playoffs this season. Next season, we're going to have a big game in the playoffs, and no one is allowed to miss it. A season isn't a big kid, and you've been quite successful this season. O'Neill and Anjie hugged and whispered in Anjie's ear that only the two of them could understand. In the twilight of this center, it is very rare to meet a respectable opponent.

One by one, the photographers gathered around the two giants, frantically shooting all the pictures. Wu Hua was no exception, huddled in the crowd with a camera. But he was more figuring out the inner emotions of the two big guys.

"Shaq, in the days to come, you won't be able to win against me again. Angel punched O'Neal in the firmness of the chest.

This guy is really more interesting than Yao! O'Neill also laughed evilly and punched in response. At the end of his career, he actually met a Chinese who could compete with him. O'Neill's curiosity about China grew.

Westbrook and Durant crossed their backs and waited for their big brother to return. They don't blame An Jie, if it weren't for An Jie's hard work for a season, the Thunder team wouldn't have been able to get this far.

The last shot is missed, and it can happen to everyone. Anjie dared to take on this responsibility, which is already very remarkable.

With 18 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 6 assists, can you expect a rookie center to do better?

"Hey guys, I failed. An Jie scratched his head embarrassedly, and lost the lore ball, so that he didn't know how to face his teammates.

"It's us who failed Ann, us. We all have a share in losing. Durant and Westbrook greeted each other, and the three rookies put their arms on each other's shoulders and walked off the court.

"It's okay boys! You're the best players in the NBA!"

"Spend your holidays, we'll be even better next season!"

"We're no different from the winners!"

Giardina wanted to rush to the stadium to talk to An Jie after the defeat, but looking at the current situation, she still didn't want to disturb An Jie. This moment only belongs to this group of men who are still glorious despite defeat.

The road back to the locker room was not smooth, and the three young men who were shoulder-to-shoulder with each other along the way were blocked by reporters.

Although they had just experienced their biggest defeat of the season, the three young men were unexpectedly smiling and chatting casually with each other.

"I'd like to go to China this summer, what about you, Kevin?" said Westbrook, turning his head to Durant.

"If the three of us are together, that's fine. Durant made an OK gesture.

"I'm worried that you'll get fat and out of shape when you eat my mother's cooking. When the time comes, neither Van Gundy nor Mr. Presti will spare me. Under O'Neill's words, Anjie is also trying to make himself optimistic.

The big shark is right, and this is just the first step in his long career. He and his teammates have not been perfect this season, but they have a clear conscience. Now, it's time to let their tense nerves relax a little.

Pushing open the locker room door, the reporters had to abandon filming and wait outside the door. After all, the players' dressing room is not a place that can be entered at any time.

Van Gundy sat in front of the whiteboard tiredly, and when he took over the "mess" of the Thunder, he didn't think about making the playoffs at all. But the performance of his players made him ashamed of his idea in the first place.

"Alright guys, sit down. Van Gundy waved his palm, signaling the players to be quiet.

"Thank you for enriching my coaching career and it's been a great honour to work with you this season. Jeff Van Gundy stood up and bowed to the players. When he was ready to give up his job as manager, it was the lads who got him back on track.

"We have to thank you, sir. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be this far. An Jie stood up and said this sentence, which won the approval of all his teammates.

Jeff Van Gundy's protection and care for his subordinates, the players naturally see it in their eyes and take it to heart. No matter how busy you are, when you're injured, you can always see Van Gundy in the hospital.

No matter how early it is, when you get to the training ground, Van Gundy must have been working here for a long time.

Action is the best way to conquer others. Even the head coach is no exception.

"Alright guys, I've got to go to that damn press conference, which of you wants to go?"

As soon as Van Gundy's words fell, the three young thunderbolts stood up in unison. Van Gundy will bring the three of them to 80% of his press conferences this season. And these three people have also become accustomed to attending press conferences after the game.

"Let's go, the reporters must have been waiting impatiently. ”

....................

"Ann's last shot against the defense of two people, did it break your arrangement!"

"If Ann passes the ball in the last minute, is the team already in playoff range?"

"How did you set up the last shot in the first place?"

Reporters all pointed the finger at An Jie, because he missed the last shot, which led to the team's defeat. Only An Jie, who was on the field at the time, knew that it was the only choice.

"Ann's choice was fine, we just lacked some luck. Van Gundy didn't fall into the trap of the reporters at all.

"What is the team's goal for next season?" Sure enough, the person who raised his hand and stood up was Wu Hua.

"Next season? people think we should be in a mess because we're just starting to rebuild. But next season, our goal is still the playoffs!" Van Gundy is confident that as long as the three young guys around him are okay, then the Thunder will have no problem!

"Ann, if it's a 10-out of 10, how would you rate your rookie season?" the ESPN reporter asked the cliché, but always catchy, question.

"Seven points, a lot of the time my performance is based on the support of my teammates. I wouldn't have behaved so well without them. ”

"What about Russell? How many points do you give him?" the reporter smirked.

"7.5 points, if his pants could have been less hole-in, I would give him 8 points. Anjie also joked about Westbrook's maverick dressing taste, and Westbrook was not embarrassed, but laughed along. Today, he's wearing a pair of black jeans full of holes.

Joking also depends on the person, if it is An Jie and him, then there is no problem at all.

Instead of sinking into sadness and regret as one might expect, the Chesapeake Energy Arena has a cheerful and lively atmosphere.

It's not that the Thunder team doesn't know how to make progress, but because they themselves and outsiders know that the Thunder team is really full of hope. This season is just a foreshadowing of their success.

Anjie's first professional basketball season has finally come to an end, and even bigger difficulties will await him to overcome in the long career that follows.

On April 15, 2009, the 08-09 NBA regular season officially ended. 23vs24, the yellow-green battle, the Spurs counterattack, and the focus of everyone's discussion was on the playoffs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder quickly disappeared into the playoff rush. However, the threat of those three young people to the alliance is gradually increasing.
