Chapter 418: Wicked Person? Winner!
Oklahoma City is like the brightest star in the Oklahoma Milky Way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As the capital of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City is always one of the most shining cities. And after the Seattle SuperSonics moved into Oklahoma City, the city's popularity in the United States skyrocketed.
Nowadays, Oklahoma City and victory can be equated. In the regular season, they went into the playoffs with a second-place finish in the West, which surprised fans all over the world. In the playoffs, he defeated two old rivals, the Nuggets and the Lakers, and even made the very young new Thunder who entered the Western Conference Finals go straight to the championship. But today, on a starry night that should have been a good mood, the atmosphere in Oklahoma City seemed a little off.
"Not really. A wrinkled, fifty-year-old black man twisted the volume switch on the car radio.
"106-99, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost at home, losing their first matchup in the Western Conference Finals!" The voice coming from the radio was very clear, and the old man was sure that he had heard correctly, so he angrily slammed the steering wheel.
"Hey, old thing! It's green, you can't go!" In the rearview mirror, a young man sticks his head out of the window and yells at an old man who listens to the radio. At the same time, he also made the gesture that could express all emotions with just his middle finger.
"Damn it!" the old man in the taxi started the car and drove slowly past the traffic light. He's been listening to the game on the car radio, and he's in a bad mood right now. He was going to call it a day at once, and get some of his buddies to go to Old Lucy's bar for a few drinks. Thunder, thunder, thunder...... How can you lose at such a time?
Watching Anjie win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena once again, Oklahoma City fans couldn't be happier.
In the past, Anjie's victory represented the victory of the Thunder team. But now, Anjie's victory will only represent the defeat of Oklahoma City.
"You won...... Not badly played. "Morris didn't say much to Anjie after the game, he couldn't let Anjie continue to work hard. Although Morris had been very successful defensively today, allowing Anjie to score only 26 points - 26 points is definitely not a high score for a guy like Ahn. You know, Brook Lopez can occasionally score 28 points, and Robin Lopez can occasionally score 20 points.
But Morris's mood is definitely not good, even if he keeps a clean sheet against Angel but the team loses, Morris is still not happy.
10 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, a center can get this kind of data when facing Anjie, which is already very remarkable. But Morris felt that he had not done enough.
"You've tried your best, Maurice, and I'm having a hard time playing with you. Hey, what, throw in the towel?" Seeing that Morris was not in a good mood, Anjie patted his biggest opponent of the series on the shoulder.
"You're just lucky to win, boy. I'll get it back in a day's time. Morris smiled at Anjie, the big brute can talk like this, it means that he is fine.
Bidding farewell to Morris, who had lost, and looking at his teammates who were so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, Anjie still couldn't let himself celebrate wantonly at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Winning the victory, even if he stepped on the corpses of his former brothers, An Jie would not feel sad. This is the NBA, a league where most of the opponents are friends in private. But you can't just give up victory just because the other person is good friends with you. Otherwise, An Jie and the Thunder would not have been eliminated by Kobe's Lakers that year.
The Chesapeake Energy Arena is also AnJie's former home stadium, and this group of Thunder fans still loves and supports him very much after he leaves. Anjie couldn't allow himself to celebrate the victory here, and he didn't want to break the hearts of the Oklahoma City fans.
Ann walked quietly to the players' tunnel, he did not give interviews to reporters, nor did he stay with Aldridge and others, but walked directly into the players' tunnel. Maybe in An Jie's heart, this is still his home. He couldn't do anything to hurt his former family in front of them. "The NBA league is indeed brutal, realistic, and commercial. But in this, as long as you are serious enough, you can still find some scenes full of human touch. Mike Brin watched Anjie's performance, which made him fall in love with this player from a foreign country without hesitation.
Oklahoma fans got a little comfort, but Anjie's small gesture still couldn't fill the sadness caused by the Thunder's loss.
Obviously, the Thunder team seemed to be overpowering the Trail Blazers in the whole game, but in the end, why did the game be lost?
"The Trail Blazers played very calmly, and they never rushed even when they were behind. They did that very well, so, as you can see, we lost this game. At the post-match press conference, Van Gundy gave his answer to the question that everyone wanted to know.
"So what do you mean, Coach, that Westbrook and Bledsoe made several unsteady mistakes that led to the team's final loss?" a malicious reporter stood up and asked the question in front of Westbrook.
Westbrook glared at the reporter, but the fat, bald, oily reporter was not frightened by Westbrook's eyes.
"No, I'm just saying that the Trail Blazers are calm enough, and that doesn't mean I think Russell and Eric have a problem handling the ball. We are all responsible for losing, and that responsibility should not be placed on any one person. Russell scored 24 points in the game, and Eric also scored 16 points off the bench. Without them, we wouldn't be where we are now. 'There's no problem with Westbrook and Bledsoe's handling of the ball? Of course not, Van Gundy will have to talk to his two defenders about it when he gets back to the dressing room. But all of that was said behind closed doors by the Thunder. To the outside world, Van Gundy is of course on his side. This is one of the reasons why Van Gundy has been able to earn the trust of his players.
"It's. The fat reporter muttered to himself in his heart and sat back dissatisfied. However, more people present were in awe of Van Gundy in their hearts. Westbrook glanced at Van Gundy, grateful that he had been sheltered by Van Gundy, even though he knew Van Gundy would do so.
Maybe in the next game, I should really repay this meticulous coach with a better performance.
"35 points, a new playoff scoring high, you must be very happy!?" At the Trail Blazers' press conference on the other side, the atmosphere was much more lively. Unlike in the past, the focus of reporters today was not on Anjie, but on the second highest score of the Trail Blazers after Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, who scored 36 points after Durant
"I really enjoyed today's game, I had a very hot hand today, and it seemed like as soon as I made a shot, the basketball would definitely go into the frame. And so it was, I scored a lot of goals on Ibaka's head. Of course, I was able to do all of this because of the cooperation of my teammates. After speaking, An Jie stretched out his fist and touched An Jie. If it weren't for Anjie to deliver ammunition for himself and attract defense for himself, he would not have been able to score such a high score.
"How do you feel about winning a crucial playoff game at your old club?" The second question brought the focus back to Anjie.
"I'm really enjoying playing here and I'm amazed that there are fans cheering and applauding for me. I'm going to put my best foot forward and let the fans watch the best game. Anjie's answer was clever, avoiding all sensitive questions and winning the hearts of the fans. However, this is also exactly what An Jie really thinks in his heart.
"The Trail Blazers' victory is inseparable from their calm offense, and their calm offense is inseparable from the close cooperation between the Trail Blazers players. Ahn dished out nine assists today, and both on the outside and inside, Ahn was able to give his teammates a chance. Although I only scored 26 points, I'm sorry, my words seem a bit inappropriate, because 26 points is actually not a low score. In short, Ann used his unfazed 26 points to overshadow Durant's crazy 36 points and Westbrook's crazy 24 points. If the Trail Blazers can win, they will win because AnJie is smarter in handling the ball and leading. After the game, T.NT TV did not end the show in a hurry, but asked the three commentators to make a summary of the game after the game.
"You said you missed a little bit of Kenny, the Trail Blazers could win, and they won on Anna's superb fake fall. O'Neill laughed and said this, but only drew Kenny Smith's eyes.
O'Neill said this with no malice, and he understood that there was nothing shameful about fake falls. As long as you can win, you're the truth, you're the hero, you're the guy who only scored 26 points, but the limelight overshadowed the guy who scored 36 points.
There are no good and bad guys in the NBA, only winners and losers. Angel's game-changing fall may have drawn the ire of many people like Bledsoe. But there's a fact that the Trail Blazers already have a head start in the Western Conference Finals!
This is more important than anything else.
Oklahoma City's bright summer nights may not be perfect, but Anjie's former teammates won't give up easily.
There's a lot more to do to win the series......
