Chapter 166: The record is equal
Andrew. Morris received a prize from Iowa State University today for his outstanding performance in the NCAA. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Taking advantage of the school's fifteen-thousand-dollar award, Morris bought his mother a beautiful dress and a suit, not too high-end, but very finely made. Of course, Morris's father also got a coveted Cimano brand fishing rod.
His parents have supported him for so many years, and now, he has finally earned his first money from playing.
Although the March Madness Cyclones were once again in the round of 16, Morris was excited to see himself in the NBA in a few months' time.
Morris' pick-up prediction is very shaky, and the only thing that is certain now is that he will not make it to the second round. But for Morris, being selected in the first round is already a success.
"Play well, Ann, we'll meet on the pitch next season."
"Ahh An Jie, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly sneezed, and he immediately put on a training jacket when he felt a little cold.
98-79, with only one and a half minutes left in the game. In the first game of April against the Nets, the Thunder made garbage time happen.
The Nets, who have completely lost their playoff hopes, have no intention of fighting, and the most positive person on the court is first-year rookie Brooke. Lopez, but unfortunately, when he met An Jie, he couldn't make any waves.
With an easy victory, the Thunder got off to a good start on April 1, once again closing the gap with the Jazz.
The 1st is also the day when the Rookie of the Month is announced. The Grizzlies' O.J. Mayo finally got his wish and won a Western Conference Rookie of the Month award. However, An Jie will not pay attention to that thing at all now, the Grizzlies have long lost the qualification to participate in the playoffs, and An Jie and the Thunder still have to work hard for playoff tickets.
On April 2, although the Thunder did not play, they ushered in a news that is just as worthy of cheer as the victory.
At the Pepsi Center in Denver, Jerry. Sloan's Predator Jazz lost 104-114 to the Nuggets, who finished second in the West. In the face of the Thunder's relentless pursuit, the Jazz seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure behind them.
As the season gets closer and closer, Presti gets busier. He has to look for rookies to draft in the summer, to find players worth signing in the summer, and of course, who needs to shoot in the Thunder now.
He's playing the ideas of other players, and the general managers of the other 29 teams are also playing the ideas of the Thunder players. There are even more offers about Anjie than Durant's!
Sixteen teams have asked him about the possibility of trading Anjie, and most of them have offered terms that are not worth Presti's offer at all, but there are several very tempting offers.
Of course, Presti is not an idiot, he will not decide Anjie's future so early. Now that Angel has cut two double-doubles in a row, Presti won't let him step Jeff. In Green's footsteps. Because whether it is from the data or from the performance, Anjie is better than the Jeff back then. Green is much better.
The change of personnel in the team is a matter for the general manager, and Anjie, as a player, his job is to play well for the team. And he's confident in Presti and his performance, and he doesn't believe the Thunder will sell him, after all, Anjie is now an integral part of the Thunder's defense.
On April 3, the Trail Blazers, who have already secured a playoff spot, visited Oklahoma City to once again challenge the equally young Thunder.
Although the playoff spot has been locked, that doesn't mean the Trail Blazers will let their guard down. After all, there is no team in the world that wins too much.
With 35 points and 11 assists, the Trail Blazers deserved to be the owner of Brandon. Roy proved why they were fourth in the West with a big double-double.
This season even Greg. Oden missed few games due to injury, but "Yellow Mamba" still shouldered the responsibility, so that the Trail Blazers fans finally ushered in the revival of the team.
Face LaMarcus. Aldridge and Joel. Purzbilla, the two interior players, was relatively soft defensively, and Anjie scored a team-high 22 points and had eight rebounds. But in this game, Anjie only handed out 4 assists, not because he reduced his passing, but because most of the balls he passed were not scored by his teammates.
Durant scored 13 points on 4-of-13 shooting, while Westbrook scored just 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting. It is true that the three Thunder are still not all dumb, but the two guys who are the most fierce on the offensive end have not been able to play at a high level. In such a situation, Anjie's 22 points are difficult to pick.
This may be the reason why the Thunder team has not been able to get a playoff ticket so far, as a common problem of rookie players, the performance of the Thunder three young players is still too unstable. They can push the Spurs into a corner when they're strong, but sometimes, they're beaten by a team like the Clippers who are at the bottom of the West.
107-84, the Thunder lost at home at a critical moment.
I don't know whether God hates the Thunder or favors the Thunder, when Sanshao was defeated at home, all the members of the Thunder team immediately rushed to the locker room and watched the live broadcast of the NBA game around the small TV.
The Timberwolves take on the Jazz on the road, and it looks like a game without suspense. But Lefou's brave performance drove the Jazz into a desperate situation.
In the last 30 seconds, the Timberwolves' projection small forward Mike . Miller hit a two-pointer to give his team a one-point lead at 103-102.
In the time that followed, Delong. Williams' two consecutive irons kept the score until the end of the game. The tired Iron Blood Sir was already driven crazy by the Thunder team behind him.
25 points, 15 rebounds, 10-of-20 shooting, Kevin. Lefou's performance in this game was almost comparable to his performance in college. The '08 rookie can be said to have turned the league upside down this year, and most of the various upsets are from the hands of the '08 rookie.
The eventual winner of Rookie of the Year has also become even more confusing.
The Jazz and Thunder both lost, and their gap remained the same.
The competition between the two sides in this half month can be said to be the most fierce competition in the entire league, until April 15 is about to come, the Thunder and Jazz have not been able to distinguish the winner!
"There's one last game left in the regular season! The fate of all teams has been decided! Only the Jazz and the Thunder, they are the only two teams in the league that have not been separated! The battle for eighth place in the West is much more fierce than we thought! Both teams are 47-34! Fate is undecided! "Kenny. Smith and Charles. Barkley's show, the theme naturally fell on the Thunder again. This year, the two of them talked about the Thunder a lot of times, which was unexpected.
No playoff spot has been confirmed until the final regular season game, and this has not happened before.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that the Thunder, who were still rebuilding and relying on the support of rookies, could come this far. Therefore, in this last game, the Jazz and Thunder can be said to be in the spotlight.
On April 15, the Jazz will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have a playoff spot assured. The Thunder, on the other hand, met an opponent they least wanted to meet, the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns and Thunder are just two wins away, but they only have one last game to play. It was the Oklahoma City Thunder that reduced the Phoenix Suns to the point where there was no playoff to play.
The Cavaliers have entered the playoffs, and James will definitely choose to rest in order to challenge for the championship. Therefore, the Jazz will not encounter any strong obstruction in this game.
The Phoenix Suns, who didn't make the playoffs, are perhaps the team that most wants to see the Thunder lose. If you don't let us in, you won't be able to succeed!
Stoudemire, who has returned from injury, has long wanted to meet this Chinese kid again!
In a fateful battle to decide a playoff ticket, the Thunder faced a worst opponent. (To be continued.) )
