The Way of the Center

Chapter 146: : Leadership

"Kevin Durant’s injury is undoubtedly one of the things that all Thunder fans are most concerned about. Coach Jeff Van Gundy has gone to the hospital to get Durant’s examination results. We believe Coach Van Gundy will soon Come out and give us a clear explanation." Many media outlets gathered around the entrance of the hospital, and the hospital security guards stood in battle, fearing that this group of reporters would rush into the ward like crazy.

   Jeff Van Gundy's face was pale, and he ran to the hospital more and more during this time. It is already very difficult to barely produce a nine-man rotation lineup. If Durant is seriously injured, it will be even more difficult for him to choose a person.

   "Damn it!" Since he was in the hospital and needed to be quiet, Van Gundy could only curse in a low voice to vent his unhappy emotions. God loves to tease him like this. Injuries have always been a lingering haze in his vocational team.

   The team was as healthy as a miracle in the first half of the season, but the exhausted players in the second half of the season broke Van Gundy's beautiful fantasy.

   Rick Shanmir walked out of the consultation room, another Thunder player, he almost thought he was the Thunder team doctor.

   "How about? Can I still play this season?" Van Gundy akimbo his hips, his face haggard. This guy, I don't know if he hasn't slept for another few days.

"Good news, old man, good news. The ankle muscles are strained, no bones are injured, and the ankles are very healthy." Shanmir first comforted Van Gundy. Compared with those serious injuries, Durant's muscles were pulled. The injury is indeed good news.

   "But, maybe it will leave a hidden danger for the future." Shanmir licked his dry lips due to the heated discussion. The injury was not big or small.

   "How long will I lose him?" Van Gundy glanced into the ward, and Durant no longer had the painful expression that he had when he was injured.

"At least half a month, although all sprains, Kevin's injury is much more serious than Ann's sprain before. I know that you are a head coach who is very considerate of the player's health. I suggest you give Kevin more rest. I I'm not talking about it now. You will also have to strictly control his playing time in the future. I said that his injury might become a hidden danger in the future." Shanmir took out a cigarette to light it, and found that he was still in the hospital. , Then put the cigarette back in his pocket.

   "Well, thank you Dr. Shanmill." Van Gundy nodded thoughtfully and walked towards Durant's ward.

   An Jie has always been very anxious, Morris’ injury is still a shadow, lingering in An Jie’s heart. If Durant had to be injured for a long time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

   Morris's pain during his injury, Morris's struggle during his injury, not everyone can survive smoothly. An Jie doesn't want his teammates to get into the torment of injuries. Whether it is from the perspective of the game or from his own personal perspective, he does not want to see Durant suffer a major injury.

   "Hello? How? What!? Okay, I see, you come back as soon as possible." The team's assistant coach Alton received a call between the players' training. Listening to that tone, it goes without saying that Van Gundy is calling.

   "How is Kevin?" Anjie asked a question that everyone desperately wanted to know the answer.

   Mr. Alton sighed, then answered slowly. "Seriously strained and need a truce for half a month." After that, he looked up at the few players on the training field.

   "In this half a month, you can only rely on yourself."

   "The leader of Oklahoma City suddenly fell, who will become the new support of the Thunder?" The espn magazine also used a column to analyze the current situation of the Thunder.

"Angel and Westbrook, the two of them are about to take on responsibilities that are not in their age range. Durant will not be able to play in these two weeks, it will be a training for these two 08 rookies. How to be a good leader? This and supporting Durant are completely two concepts."

   It happened between the electric light and flint. Durant had just been diagnosed, and back-to-back opponents followed one after another.

"The six-game losing streak Grizzlies now have a great opportunity to end the losing streak! The Thunder just lost Durant, their morale and strength are greatly reduced. I think Oj Mayo should work harder, he can't keep falling. At the feet of Anjie and Westbrook."

"Coach Van Gundy's rotation will be a big problem. The Thunder are already full of injuries, and now they have lost one of the most important Durant. If I were him, I would definitely feel a headache for the team's lineup. "

   Almost everyone looked down on the Thunder, fighting back-to-back, and away, and the team lost its leader. Although the Thunder still have Anjie and Westbrook, there are many good guys with healthy Grizzlies.

Each sports channel’s studio will be accompanied by a full-length photo of the star of the team next to the team logos of the opposing teams. However, in this game, the Thunder team should use whose photo as the star of the game, it is undoubtedly a Controversial issue.

   China's cctv and various live web media have undoubtedly pushed Anjie to the position of team leader, but in foreign countries, the views of various channels are very different.

   espn puts Anjie behind the Thunder team logo, while Fox chose Westbrook. There are even some channels that put Sabo Sefrosa and Kyle Weaver on it. Everyone has a different player to take over Durant's position, but this just highlights a situation, chaos.

   The fans don’t know who will be the first point of attack. The players don’t know what role they will play and what they will do. As the opponent of the Thunder, the Grizzlies don't know who will be the strong offensive point of the Thunder.

"This season the Thunder and the Grizzlies have their own wins and losses. The Thunder have won a few more games and have a slight advantage. To be honest, I can't imagine what the game will be like, without Durant's Thunder. The Thunder have never lacked Durant before. God knows how the Thunder would play without Durant." The commentators also have different opinions.

   Others are still speculating, but Van Gundy's thoughts are very clear.

"Listen, although Kevin is injured, we are not vulnerable! Come on!" Before the game started, in the player channel, An Jie watched his teammates fall silent one by one, so he decided to do something. Break the embarrassment.

   After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand with the back of his hand facing up. "Old You Tiao" Atkins naturally knew what An Jie wanted to do, so he was the first to put his hand on it to move the others.

   "Ann is right! Kevin was injured early in the last game. Didn't we also win!? What are the Grizzlies? It's just a stepping stone for us to make the playoffs!"

"Yep."

   "******, it's just the bottom team in the Western Conference."

   "That's right."

   Atkins chanted so much, everyone gathered at An Jie eloquently, put all their hands together, and all their heads together.

   "Our defense scares the opponent." An Jie took the lead in speaking, whispering in the crowd.

   "Our breakthrough made the Grizzlies suffer." Westbrook also closed his eyes and said words of encouragement.

   "Our toughness makes the other party overwhelmed!" It was Sefrossa, a Swiss, whose English with a European accent was very unique.

   "To make the playoffs, every game is the key! We can't back down in the face of difficulties, we must beat each other!" Finally, Atkins made a summary.

   Everyone lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and whispered some words of encouragement to the team, as if they were gathering together to pray.

   The team atmosphere is good, everyone is willing to join the team~www.NovelMTL.com~ This is the Thunder's biggest weapon besides defense!

   "Come on, let's go out to fight!" An Jie suddenly yelled, everyone also yelled, and their palms separated quickly. A simple ceremony, but everyone on the Thunder team was full of fighting spirit.

   In college, Mike Taylor was the leader of the Tornado’s locker room. Now in the Thunder, Durant, the taciturn guy, is the leader of Oklahoma.

   Although Anjie does not lead his teammates, he has no prestige as a rookie. But he is active and serious about basketball and his teammates are kind and friendly. He is definitely an indispensable atmosphere regulator in the Thunder's locker room.

   Everyone sees An Jie's actions in their eyes, and everyone knows that An Jie is no problem. Therefore, An Jie's every move in the locker room will not be questioned by his teammates, but can drive others up. So when An Jie spoke, everyone was willing to listen to him.

   They know that this big yellow man is for the good of the team and for the good of everyone. So when Anjie wanted to gather his teammates to cheer each other up, he was not left out.

   The shy Durant does not encourage his teammates like Mike Taylor, so the Thunder team has always lacked a role that can screw everyone together.

   But now An Jie has undoubtedly demonstrated his potential in this area.

   The morale of the Thunder losing its leader? No, you are too simple to think of this team that can make the playoffs after a ten-game losing streak. (To be continued.)
