The Way of the Center

"Hey buddy, we played well this season and we are ranked second so far. Ω『Although the ranking is the same as last season, due to our increased popularity, the boss said that we are almost within the scope of the March Crazy Championship. Why? So, I didn’t disappoint you and Mike. After you two left, the boss and I did not let the team sink. The new guys are also good, but they... how do you say... .. Personality is not to my appetite, so I still miss you and Mike. By the way, it seems that you two have not been very smooth recently. There are rumors that Mike may be cut by the Trail Blazers, and you, The team is troubled by injuries and the road to the playoffs is not smooth. I can only hope you two are lucky. This is the last regular season of the season. I will soon realize my dream of March Madness. You and Mike have to cheer! No one can lose!"

The Tornado team also had a game today. Before the game, Morris sent An Jie such a text message to encourage the "Tornado Three Musketeers" who were all the best. Since Anjie and Taylor are too busy, the three of them don't have much time to communicate with each other. However, the short text message greetings and chats between the three have not been interrupted.

This is the last regular season of the Tornadoes this season. After this game, the Tornadoes will once again show themselves on the stage of March Madness. Morris was naturally very excited, and such emotions can only be shared with his closest friends. Angel and Mike Taylor are the two closest friends of Morris.

Time really flies. A year ago, An Jie was still fighting for the qualification for March Madness. After only 36o days, An Jie has become a professional player. The stars have played against each other and have participated in the highly anticipated nBa All-Star Weekend, and his goal has changed from March Madness to nBa playoffs.

An Jie is sitting in the team bus at the moment, with a broken lineup back to back into the Oracle Arena. Faced with that group of warriors who have played like chicken blood, this game makes people feel tired just thinking about it.

"Come on, Xiaojie."

"Be careful not to get hurt."

"If you are too tired, tell the coach not to overuse your body."

Except for Morris, Anjie always receives a lot of text messages before every game, Catherine, Divac, parents, Meslav... Whoever it is, Anjie will keep their blessings in his heart.

"Hey, yes, the game is about to go. Believe me, I will show my best performance." And Westbrook is talking on the phone with his family before the game as usual. Everything is so normal, except for Marrick Rose and Thabo Sefrosa, who joined the team before the trade deadline, everything is the same as usual. But An Jie felt a special feeling of the approaching war.

The recovery of the Suns is very rapid, and the Jazz will not easily fall behind under the leadership of coach Jerry Sloan, want to squeeze into the playoffs, indeed every game is a big battle for the Thunder. Especially after losing to the direct competitor Sun in the last game, the situation facing the Thunder is even more precarious.

"Although they are not strong teams against both sides, they always meet, but they always spark. The Warriors played the last second with the powerful Los Angeles Lakers. I believe they have no reason to relax in the face of the Thunder! "Mike Brin once again explained the game of the Thunder. He just wanted to see with his own eyes how the group of young people can get out of difficulties or be directly blocked by difficulties.

"The last game was a shame! What about defense!? What do we practice most!?" Jeff Van Gundy recalled the players who were still warming up early, and in the locker room he asked his subordinates loudly. Lads.

"It's defense, coach." Durant replied in a low voice, and the Thunder were completely brought to the rhythm of the Suns' crazy offense in the last game. Against the Suns, the score of 14o to 122 is the result.

"Defense! Our position! Our help! Our enthusiasm! You all lost to me!" Van Gundy is rarely popular, but the lineup is incomplete, this can't be used as an excuse for the team's chaos. Seeing how the Thunder lads were sleepwalking in the last game, Van Gundy also felt a bit hated for iron and steel.

"No matter how the group of guys at Oracle Stadium play, I want you to keep the defense firmly! They want to beat us again and again with their sudden madness, and use defense to tell them, it's impossible!"

There was silence below, and Van Gundy's scolding made everyone lost in reflection.

"It's another defeated player. This time it is our home court. There is no reason to let this pseudo-strong team play wild in Oakland!" On the Warriors side, although coach Don Nelson didn't say anything, team leader Stephen Jackson did not. Will let go of this opportunity to fan the flames.

Jackson has been dubbed the "bad boy" ever since he played for the Pacers. The reason why the current Warriors are fearless and dare to challenge opponents who are much stronger than themselves is the main reason that Jackson brought about. Under his leadership, the Warriors waved frequently, and even the Celtics Big Three had suffered defeats on them.

After all, Stephen Jackson was the one who led the Warriors to complete the Black Eight miracle. Although he was restless, he was very professional. Victory, this is Stephen Jackson's only goal.

"Monta, don't be afraid later, take more shots. Let the Suns score 14o points, the Thunder's defense is not worth mentioning!" Stephen Jackson patted Monta Alice on the shoulder. This small guard just returned from injury this season, he is one of Jackson's most trusted teammates, because it is him who assisted Jackson and Byron Davis to complete the black eight miracle.

"Don't worry that I will not dare to attack, just because you are unwilling to share the ball." Monta Alice is also not a good stubborn, and his reckless playing style is often criticized by people. But one thing no one dares to deny is that this guy is really good at scoring.

"Hahahaha, I'm relieved! Let's do it! Drive back the rookies who grew up in the greenhouse!"

"Roar!" everyone followed Stephen Jackson with punches and shouted. In the locker room of Oracle Stadium, Jackson is more like the head coach who controls the overall situation~www.NovelMTL.com~The Thunder can't easily give up the chance to win now. Compared with the Los Angeles Lakers and other opponents, the Golden State Warriors are undoubtedly theirs to win Opportunity! Van Gundy and the Thunder can't let the opportunity slip away if they want to make the playoffs! "

While the narrators of various TV stations were still analyzing the situation, the scene had already arrived at the introduction of the players.

Although the Warriors did not perform well this season, it can be said that it has nothing to do with the playoffs. But this group of players who will never admit defeat is deeply loved by the fans. Therefore, when the live broadcaster yelled the names of the Warriors players, the call from Oracle Stadium was no less than that of the Staples Center and other places.

Stephen Jackson pointed to the third Thunder Junior after he appeared on the field, and then made a wiping motion of his neck. There is no doubt that the Warriors' blood was scored by this guy.

An Jie didn't respond so arrogantly, but he clenched his fists. Isn't it just defense, that's the rhythm he likes!

The well-disciplined blue and white lightning and gangster warriors have collided again, but this time, the victory or defeat will be of vital importance to the Thunder! (To be continued.) 8
