Charles Barkley arrived at the station early, and although today's show didn't start until 8 p.m. prime time, he was still in the studio three hours early to prepare. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis is probably the most important episode of the season, and they have to give a summary of not only the regular season that has just ended, but also a preview of the playoffs that are to come.

"It's so early today?" said Kenny Smith, looking at the obese Barkley in disbelief, and he was thankful that his partner wasn't late.

"It's a lot of work today, Kenny, and I think I'm going to have to take my job seriously. Barkley sat down next to Smith with a hippie smile and looked at the manuscript.

"You guy, it's good that you know that the task is heavy. There's so much to say this season, and all of this has to be said in today's show. Smith let out a sigh of relief that if Barkley could memorize the manuscript, he would have been much less stressed on himself later.

However, even if Charles Barkley could memorize all the scripts, he would definitely improvise once the show started. Because that's Charles Barkley's style, he came to see the manuscript just so that he wouldn't get too off-topic for a while.

"The West is still playing very well this year, and the playoffs in the West will be especially exciting from the first round. ”

That's right, Kenny, Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers, Black Mamba vs. Yellow Mamba, in the first round, this wonderful competition will be presented in front of everyone, but to be honest, the possibility that the Trail Blazers can complete the Black Eight Miracle is very small. Not to mention that Roy and Oden are two time bombs that blow up and only blow up themselves, the hard power of the defending champion Lakers is actually much better than that of the Trail Blazers. Instead of looking forward to the miracle of the Black Eight, we can look forward to the emergence of the Black Seven this season. Barkley began to skew the subject as he spoke.

This year's Spurs' regular season record is the worst since the 21st century, only ranked seventh in the West, and in fact, the Spurs' record is the same as the Trail Blazers' record, only because the Spurs have won more games against the Trail Blazers, so they are ranked seventh. Kenny Smith immediately caught up with Barkley's rhythm and skipped the Trail Blazers and Lakers to talk about the Spurs, hoping that Barkley wouldn't let the show get stuck.

"Who is the Spurs' opponent? The regular season was surprisingly good, and this year it rushed to the second place in the West! The Warriors' Black Eight miracle was completed on the Mavericks. And the league has also changed the timing of the awarding and announcement of the regular season awards because of Nowitzki. The first round of the Spurs vs. Mavericks will be a key matchup. Barkley really found the point, and with the "help" of his skewed theme, the show's ratings never fell but rose.

The show went on for a long time, and Barkley and Smith introduced the playoff matchups and the regular season against both sides. However, there were two other teams that were left last by the two.

"The last group is Charles, and I'm sure you prefer to watch this group of confrontations than the Spurs and Mavericks. "The Oklahoma City Thunder, Kenny Smith knows that Barkley is going to be spending a lot of money on this young team.

That's right, Kenny, if you want to say that the team with the most improvement in the NBA league this season is undoubtedly the Oklahoma City Thunder, who finished at the bottom last year, last year's ninth, and this year went straight to fifth in the West! The meeting between the rising KD and Anthony is bound to create a huge spark! But ......" Barkley paused at the words.

Although the Nuggets played against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season, although the Nuggets' main lineup has hardly changed this season, their group of interior players with good athleticism but no fine skills are likely to be beaten by Anjie. And Coach George Karl's inability to personally direct during the playoffs due to Adam's apple cancer will also be a big loss for the Nuggets. Although the Nuggets' assistant coach Adrian Dantley is a Jazz celebrity, compared to Jeff Van Gundy, Dantley is still a little bit hot. You know, the playoffs are not only demanding on the players, but also on the team coach!" Barkley's analysis is the first to say, don't look at this big mouth is usually very serious, but he actually knows everything.

"I don't think the absence of Coach George Carr will affect the team, even if he can't be on the field, Coach Karl can operate off the field. It can be said that Dantley is only the proxy executor established by Carl. In fact, the man who was in charge of the game on the field was George Carr. Kenny Smith didn't mean to be against Barkley, he thought it from the bottom of his heart.

"Look at Kenny, the coach's presence is very important in the game. If Van Gundy hadn't been for the poor on-the-spot command, it is estimated that the rockets of that year would not have been in a round of tours. But this season, Jeff Van Gundy's on-the-spot command ability has improved, and perhaps he has been with the Thunder group of young people for too long, and he has also rejuvenated and started to grow a second time. Barkley is optimistic that the Thunder can beat the Nuggets, who are stronger on paper, and Anjie and Van Gundy are the key to whether the Thunder can counterattack.

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

On the morning of April 16, the faint sunlight shone through the window into Anjie's villa.

In mid-April, the weather has begun to gradually warm up, and this ray of sunshine naturally makes Anjie feel vibrant.

He subconsciously blocked the light with his hand so as not to stab his eyes. After that, he shook his head and sat down in front of the bed.

An Jie first looked at the time, half past six in the morning, and then he got up and looked at the calendar, on April 17, he was drawn a big red circle, on that day, the Thunder will play the Denver Nuggets on the road, and An Jie will also play the first game of his career playoff journey at Pepsi Center!

He's not dreaming, he's not fantasizing. Yes, this season, Anjie did not take an early vacation, and he did not have to study where to travel with Durant, Westbrook and others. This season, they have really stepped into the playoffs, and tomorrow, the first game will start, and their journey has just begun!

"Morris, let's go to training!" An Jie walked out of the door and shouted, but Morris got up earlier than An Jie and was already washing up in the bathroom.

"Good night, remember you owe me another two hundred dollars. "After returning home last night, Morris made a bet with Angel that if Morris got up earlier than Angel, Angel would lose him two hundred dollars and vice versa.

"If it weren't for the two hundred dollars, you wouldn't have gotten up earlier than I did. Anjie smiled, pulled out two bills with green flowers and placed them on the head of Morris's bed.

Of course, An Jie said that sentence was just a joke. Even if Morris didn't experience a regular season defeat, even if his performance this season was satisfying enough. But the playoffs are still a word that makes Morris unable to sleep peacefully.

"Ann. ”

"Huh?" Anjie turned his head to see that Morris was ready to go.

"The playoffs are like March Madness, right?"

"It should ...... That's it. Although Anjie played professional basketball for one more year than Morris, in the face of the playoffs, Anjie was a rookie like Morris.

"When we were in college, we didn't play March Madness together, and in the playoffs, we had to make a name for ourselves. With that, Morris stretched out his fist at Anjie.

"You have to come up with a name to come brothers, you have to. The fists of the two interior captains collided together, and after Van Gundy started Morris in the second half of the season, the two former Whirlwind twin towers shone brightly, and Ricard also had a bright face.

However, in the playoffs, the power that these two people will burst out will only be greater!

Two good brothers who don't know each other are heading to the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and the Thunder are also heading for the playoffs.

The regret of only one step into the playoffs last year has finally been filled!

That kind of unwillingness, that kind of sadness, An Jie and the Thunder team know better than anyone else. Now, this opportunity didn't come easily, and if you want the Thunder to pack up and go home in the first round?

Stepping over the bodies of the Nuggets and Anthony is the only option for the Thunder.

Ninth in the West, losing to the Suns, potential, dark horse...... I'm sorry, that's who we used to be. Now, the Thunder are a real playoff-caliber team, and they're ready to make a big splash on the playoff stage! )
