Van Gundy looked in the mirror, confirming that he was neatly dressed and meticulous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this bald guy is always like this, he thinks that a person's image is neat, not only for himself, but also for others. Not to mention the Western Conference Finals...... It was a big stage that he had never touched before. You know, the last time Van Gundy led the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals was before 2000. After 12 years, he once again brought his team to the division finals, which was definitely a milestone for Van Gundy. So he didn't want to dress inappropriately on such occasions.

"How was your rest last night?" Van Gundy's wife suddenly hugged the growing man from behind, and his aging rate soared for the sake of the Thunder. If she could, she would have liked her husband to be a commentator instead of a team manager.

"Last night was probably the deepest sleep I've had this season. Van Gundy held the hand on his shoulder, and since the Thunder had settled the Western Conference semifinals opponent earlier than the Trail Blazers, Van Gundy had plenty of time to study the Trail Blazers. Now, he had done everything he could beforehand, so last night, Van Gundy, who had been under constant high pressure, was in his bed before 12 a.m.

"That's good, breakfast should be almost ready, I'll go to the kitchen and look at it, and you'll be waiting for me at the table to read the newspaper." Van Gundy's wife walked into the kitchen, and he could even smell the toast. A glass of milk and a newspaper were ready for him to be placed on the table, and Van Gundy took two big breaths, what a peaceful morning. But he knew that in a few more hours, the atmosphere and environment of his life would be very different!

After breakfast, saying goodbye to his wife, and driving his dilapidated but still reluctant car, Van Gundy began to make his way to the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The closer he got to his destination, the farther away this peaceful life became. If he still can't live up to his championship dream this season, then maybe it's time for him to retire......

Van Gundy shook his head, now is not the time to think about retirement. At least this season, he has to continue to fight with the Thunder, and the toughest part of the playoffs will start tonight.

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

Van Gundy walked through the empty tunnel of players, it was not yet time for the team to assemble for training, and he came so early just to do some preparation. Don't underestimate the low-intensity warm-up training before the game, the quality of this training will greatly affect the performance of the players on the field after a few hours.

To Van Gundy's surprise, however, he seemed to faintly hear the screeching sound of the sneakers rubbing against the wooden floor. Since An Jie left the Thunder team, he rarely saw someone come to practice in advance early in the morning. Morris, Durant and Westbrook occasionally come early to practice, but only occasionally. The inquisitive Van Gundy pushed open the door to the training ground, and the guy who was training inside was a guy he knew very well, but also a little strange.

"Ann!?"

"Hey, sir, you're still here so early, as you used to be. An Jie picked up the basketball and smiled stupidly at Van Gundy.

"This is the home team's training ground, you boy. Van Gundy shook his head, Anjie made this guy look like he was still a member of the Thunder team. Van Gundy would have liked to have been part of the Thunder, which would have a better chance of winning a championship. Although Batum was obtained from the Trail Blazers, the strength of the Thunder team has been greatly improved. With him, Durant doesn't have to play forty minutes every game. But the role of the French striker has never been comparable to Anjie.

"Hey, hey, get used to it. Thinking that you shouldn't have started training yet, I'll borrow this venue to use it first. What's going on, the team is ready, right?" Anjie simply sat down next to Van Gundy, intending to talk to him.

"Don't worry, Ann, you're all set, what about you? Rickard, that kid, has he come up with a lot of ideas?"

"The boss is just like you, and he's been chewing on tactics for the past few days. You don't think about a lot of things for me, do you? ...... "Anjie found that although he was already a member of the Trail Blazers, he still couldn't get rid of the name Van Gundy. He couldn't call Van Gundy by his first name, nor could he name the estranged term "coach." Boss, An Jie loves to call Van Gundy that, even if Van Gundy is no longer his head now.

"Do you want to spy on the military? Hahahaha, when you get to the arena, you will naturally know. Go and keep practicing, I'...... I'm sitting here. ”

Looking at Anjie's figure running on the court, Van Gundy was full of emotion. Break up for a season, and who would have thought that they would meet again on the stage of the Western Conference Finals. Anjie has not changed, although this year in the Trail Blazers, he has entered the ranks of first-line stars like his former partners Durant and Westbrook, but he still has not relaxed his requirements. There is no squeezing of the training time. His heart that loves basketball and loves to win is still exactly the same as when he was a fledgling.

But An Jie has also changed, this season An Jie won personal honors is soft, and he also has his own exclusive signature shoes like other stars, and he has also set career records and even NBA records this season. He's changed, he's stronger than the Anjie coach Van Gundy had before!

"Boss, boss?" it wasn't until Anjie shouted loudly twice that Van Gundy pulled Van Gundy back from his thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I'm going to the away team's training ground first, and you'll have to start training soon as you do, so I'm going to stay for fear it's not suitable. ”

"Oh oh, go go, go. Actually, it doesn't matter if you stay here, really. Van Gundy doesn't worry about his secrets being revealed, and he never treats Anjie as an outsider.

"Forget it, I've got to meet up with my team. See you on the field!" Anjie winked at Van Gundy and turned to leave. Yes, now, Anjie has a different team with him as the core. His team is no longer the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"See you on the field. Van Gundy looked at Anjie's tall back and whispered to himself. He really doesn't want to be an enemy of An Jie, and he really hopes that An Jie can lead the Trail Blazers to better results. But the premise of doing so does not include stepping on the corpse of the Thunder team.

An Jie stepped out of the door of the home team's training ground, and Van Gundy knew that from this moment on, he and An Jie had changed from a relationship between master and apprentice and friend to one that had to fight to either die or live with me.

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

"OKC!OKC!OKC......" The neat shouts of the Chesapeake Energy Arena were louder than any previous series. In the blue sea of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Anjie finally saw the oppressive feeling brought by this place.

As one of the owners of this place, An Jie is very adaptable to such an atmosphere. But Matthews, Aldridge and others were obviously a little nervous by this formation.

"You son of a bitch!" Hearing someone greeting him with swear words, instead of getting angry, An Jie smiled. In Oklahoma, only one person would talk to him like that.

Anjie turned his head, and sure enough, Andrew Morris, a strong man, was walking towards him with his arms outstretched.

"What the have you eaten, what the hell have you eaten, how do I think you're better than before. "The two hugged each other, a scene that you rarely see in a field like the Western Conference Finals.

"Hey, you just need to know, I'll eat you later. As he spoke, Morris proudly flexed his muscles. Morris is no joke, and right now, he's one of the league's top interior defenders. The Thunder's ability to reach the Western Conference Finals is inseparable from him and Ibaka's almost perverted interior defense.

"Morris, you're not a small boy. ”

"Hey, chief. When he saw Ricard, Morris was also respectful. During his two years in college, Rickard didn't punish himself, but for some reason, he just couldn't hate this sweary coach.

"What, you're here to spy on the military?" Rickard also joked with Morris, in fact, he was not afraid of Morris coming to spy on anything. Just as Van Gundy still treats Angel as his own, Ricard doesn't treat Morris as an outsider.

"Don't worry, boss, we have to win, and we have to win in a righteous and bright way. Morris patted his chest, this guy seems to be unruly to outsiders, but in front of his own people, he is definitely a loyal representative.

"Big man, how does it feel to go home?" After that, Westbrook also greeted Anjie. Then there is Durant, Ibaka, Seferosa......

For a moment, An Jie even thought that he was still one of the group. However, before the game began, he realized that he had to stand across from the enthusiastic crowd.

Angel looked behind him, Aldridge gave him a thumbs up, Gerard Wallace clapped his hands to cheer himself up, Matthews drew a cross on his chest, and Filton pressed his legs...... An Jie smiled, although the group of guys on the other side was very powerful, but now he has a new team with the same strength!

"It's been a long time since we've fought each other. Let me get on with that unfinished heads-up!" Morris had just finished saying when the referee threw the basketball into the air.

Anjie and Morris both jerked upwards as if they were wound up.

The fans were shouting, and the voices were exactly the same as they were back then. But this time, what Anjie wants to do is not to let the Thunder win, but to let them lose at home!

On May 27, 2012, the scorching summer day had arrived. The same fanatical Western Conference Finals have officially begun!
