"We didn't lose to the Thunder, we just lost to the referees. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info "Jerry Sloan was open-mouthed, and he pointed the finger at the referee who blew Boozer for a final foul. To him, that ball was just reasonable physical contact and didn't constitute a foul at all.

Sloan has been in the NBA for many years, has experienced numerous victories, and has also suffered defeats. However, such humiliating failures as today are very rare.

Because of a rebound, because of a penalty, the Thunder won the lost game after Durant's failed shot.

Sloan lost very unconvinced, and the Jazz, who fought back-to-back, performed no worse than the Thunder!

But one point behind is also a point, and the only thing to blame is Anjie for working too hard, and he just grabbed rebounds on the heads of Oku and Boozer. As for Boozer's final foul decision, it was actually a real foul, but Sloan, as the coach of the team, had to stand by his own players.

Although it was not a thrilling sports battle, grabbing offensive rebounds and killing the game through free throws still made Anjie highly praised.

With 16 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Anjie's score was not high because Durant and Westbrook took up a lot of shots. However, it was precisely because of the rebound and two free throws in the final seconds that he became the focus of the whole court.

Of course, Anjie and Durant were praised, and Westbrook, who underperformed, naturally received a lot of criticism.

"He's too lonely, too egoistic!"

"This kind of shooting percentage shouldn't be dominated all the time, and if he was reduced and added to Ann, we wouldn't even have to be dragged until the last second to win the game. ”

"Russell we know you're trying to play for the team, but don't keep shooting when you can't shoot. ”

All these words made Westbrook not too happy with the victory in this game. He's been playing like this since high school, and now he can't change it.

"I just didn't feel good today. "Westbrook gave himself a push, and he had no intention of making a change. Crazy shots, crazy impacts, frequent scoring cuts, as a point guard, Westbrook's mind is full of these.

Aren't we having Anjie? Why do I still need to organize?

With that in mind, Westbrook and the Thunder entered 2010 and entered the bottom two-thirds of the regular season.

There is no holiday in the NBA this year's New Year's Day, but there are only six teams to play, and those six teams do not include the Thunder, who defeated the Jazz the day before.

Although there was no game, Anjie and they did not get a rest. On January 2, the Thunder will play the Bucks on the road, and today, Anjie can only spend his Lantern Festival night on the plane.

As soon as he got off the plane, An Jie received a call from his parents. Relatives and friends at home gathered together to eat dumplings to celebrate this traditional Chinese festival of family reunion.

And Anjie can only talk to her parents at the cold and biting Milwaukee airport. Although his parents only came to Oklahoma City to accompany him during his injury, the feeling of missing his family was still irrepressible on the holiday day.

"I checked the weather on the Internet, and it was cold in Milwaukee, and my bones were very cold. When you warm up before the game, be careful so as not to make another mistake. An Shiran's simple instruction made An Jie feel extremely warm.

"I know Dad, it's quite cold for us now, wear more protective gear to keep your injured foot warm, otherwise it will hurt again." An Jie still remembers what his father was injured for, and now, he can be regarded as helping his father realize his dream.

"Hey, Ann. Just as An Jie hung up the phone, An Jie heard someone calling him behind him.

Turning his head, it was Westbrook in a scarf and snow boots.

"What's wrong Russell?" Anjie was a little strange, why did Westbrook come to find him in private.

......In the cold wind of Milwaukee Airport, two guys who had just turned from boys to men stood opposite each other.

"Well, call me tomorrow morning when you go to training, and I'll follow along for a while. "Westbrook is shy because he's ashamed of his recent performances.

"Haha, what else do I have to say. You'll have to get some rest tonight, because waking up early in cold Milwaukee is a painful thing. Anjie smiled and patted Westbrook on the shoulder, those who criticized him from the outside world just didn't know him well enough......

There are many people who scoff at Westbrook's style of play of rushing in with the ball regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, and Westbrook's efficiency in these games is indeed not high.

But this style of play makes Westbrook have to make physical contact with those big men on the inside. Does it hurt? It hurts. But in Westbrook's view, this is the most effective way to attack, both scoring goals and causing damage.

After being stopped again and again, Westbrook will not choose to give up. He will pick up the ball on the next attack and continue to rush inside until he scores.

Although Westbrook's shooting percentage was low in these games, his breakthrough disrupted the opponent's defense very well, and indirectly allowed Anjie and Durant to get more opportunities.

Westbrook is such a person who "admits death", although Anjie's statistics are somewhat affected by Westbrook's style of play, he is still willing to help this teammate who joined the team at the same time as him. Because Westbrook's original intention is also for the good of the team.

Since this guy won't stop, there's no point in arguing with him and complaining about him. It's better to help him get back into shape and help the team win!

The next day, Anjie knocked on the door of Westbrook's room early in the morning, and the two had a simple breakfast at the hotel, and then headed for the Bradley Center training ground, which had been opened.

The Thunder players are provided with training at Bradley Center's No. 2 training field, which is not used by Bucks players in most cases, and is only scheduled for various fan events and pre-season rookie tryouts.

So, Anjie and Westbrook don't have to worry about them meeting tonight's enemy in advance. The two can train away from home without being disturbed.

As usual, An Jie first picked up the basketball and shot at random, firstly to warm himself up, and secondly, to try the ball sense.

"Ann, your training intensity is so high, how do you keep your performance consistent. Looking at Angel, who was taking care of himself, Westbrook asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"I didn't train very hard, and although it was long, it was all within my acceptable range. Now I don't feel like I was in college, even if I practiced myself in college, as long as the progress was not completed, I would force myself to continue. I was scolded by Divac for doing this, and now, to be honest, the NBA schedule is too dense, and I've learned what it means to be in moderation. An Jie was talking, but the work in his hands did not stop.

"But for me, it's really not good to practice. As long as I don't play for a day, I feel like my sense of the ball will suffer. "In fact, Anjie is just a psychological effect, maybe ordinary people will indeed lose their sense of ball if they don't play for a month, but for players of their level, the sense of ball is not so easy to disappear.

At this moment, Westbrook has changed his shoes and practiced shooting with Anjie.

"I really admire you, nine times out of ten when I called you, I was still training. Westbrook didn't go to Anje for a long time, but most of the time Anjie turned him down on the grounds of training.

"What do you think is wrong with me these games?" Westbrook said as he shot the basketball, which was still not made in the field when no one was marked.

"The choice of shots is not very reasonable, I am not talking about breakthroughs, breakthroughs are your style, they are your strengths, even if you can't score directly, you can still make kills. But sometimes you have a bad shot selection from the outside, and you have the worst shooting percentage against the defense. Anjie was blunt, and there was nothing polite between him and Westbrook.

"I want to play as reasonably as you do, just ......" Westbrook shook his head, and once he stepped onto the pitch and started the heat of the game, he would surely put that advice on the back burner. But no matter what, in these games, he has to try to change, try to make the team better.

The three Thunder Boys will not exclude each other for the sake of data, they know that only when the three of them really work together to break out at the same time is the most dangerous time for the Thunder team.

Westbrook hopes he can catch up with Anjie and Durant quickly so as not to hold him back.

The two '08 rookies stayed at the No. 2 training ground at Bradley Center until noon, and Anjie knew that the Bucks should suffer today......

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

The two young players get along very happily, An Jie is not the kind of person who likes to compete for fame and fortune, as long as the team can win, he can accept most of the sacrifices. Among them, this includes letting Westbrook and Durant take the shot.

This is due to An Jie's personality, off the court, he is very docile and humble to his teammates.

But in the eyes of many businessmen and team managers, the relationship between Anjie and Westbrook is not so simple.

Managers on other teams will certainly use Westbrook as a trigger to persuade Durant or Ander to leave.

The team has won five in a row, and the overall performance of the three young people is very good, and everything looks very normal and bright. However, in the NBA league, teams will always have endless battles in order to compete for players.

The foreshadowing is a little longer, but it doesn't mean that the competition for the Thunder three less by other teams will never come. A single fuse is enough for those cunning businessmen to find a breakthrough. There are countless great combinations in this world, but there are only a handful of combinations that have really fought together from beginning to end...... (To be continued.) )
