The Way of the Center

♂,

Andrew Morris today received a bonus from Iowa State University to reward him for his outstanding performance in the ncaa arena. ?

Taking advantage of the school's $5,000 reward, Morris bought a beautiful long dress for his mother and a suit for himself that was not considered high-end but was very well-made. Of course, Morris' father also got a coveted Simano fishing rod.

His parents have supported him for so many years, and now, he has finally made his first money from playing football.

Although the March Madness Cyclone team once again stopped in the round of 16, Morris was very excited when he thought that he would be able to stand on the nBa arena in a few months.

Morris's draft prediction is very unstable, and the only certainty now is that he will definitely not fall into the second round. But for Morris, being selected in the first round is considered a success.

"Play well, and we can meet on the court next season."

"Ah!" An Jie, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly sneezed, feeling a little chilly, and immediately put on his training jacket.

98 to 79, only one and a half minutes left in the game. In April's first game against the Nets, the Thunder allowed garbage time to appear.

The Nets, who have completely lost their hopes in the playoffs, have no intention of fighting. The most active person on the court is the first-year rookie Brook Lopez, but unfortunately he meets An Jie, and there will be no storm.

With an easy win, the Thunder celebrated a good start on April 1, and once again approached the gap with the Jazz.

The 1st is also the day when the rookie of the month is announced. The Grizzlies’ o.J. Mayo data brush finally got his wish and won a Western Conference Rookie of the Month. But An Jie doesn't pay attention to that thing at all now. The Grizzlies have long been disqualified from participating in the playoffs, and An Jie and the Thunder have to work hard for the playoff tickets.

On April 2, although the Thunder did not have a game, they ushered in a news that was just as worthy of cheering as the victory.

At the Pepsi Center in Denver, Jerry Sloan's Iron-Blooded Sirs lost 1o4 to 114 to the second-ranked Nuggets in the Western Conference. Facing the thunderous pursuit, the Jazz seemed almost unable to withstand the pressure behind them.

As the season is getting later and later, Presti is getting busier and busier. From now on, he has to look for rookies who need to be selected in the summer and look for players who are worth signing in in the summer. Of course, who needs to be shot in the Thunder is also a question he must consider.

He is playing the idea of ​​other players, and the general manager of the other 29 teams is also playing the idea of ​​the Thunder players. About Anjie’s quotation, even more than Durant’s quotation!

Sixteen teams asked him about the possibility of trading Angel. Most of the teams offered conditions that were not worthy of Presti's contribution to Angel, but there were also a few very attractive proposals.

Of course Presti is not an idiot, he would not decide Anjie's future whereabouts so early. Now that Angel has scored double-doubles again and again, Presti will not let him follow in Jeff Green's footsteps. Because both in terms of data and performance, Anjie is much better than that of Jeff Green.

The change of team personnel is a matter for the general manager. As a player, Anjie’s job is to play well for the team. And he is full of confidence in Presti and his performance. He doesn't believe that the Thunder will sell himself. After all, Anjie is now an indispensable part of the Thunder's defensive end.

On April 3rd, the Blazers, who had already secured a spot in the playoffs, visited Oklahoma City and once again challenged the same young Thunder.

Although the playoff spot has been locked, this does not mean that the Blazers will relax their vigilance. After all, there is no team in this world, it would think too many wins.

With 35 points and 11 assists, the well-deserved owner of the Trail Blazers, Brandon Roy, proved their reason for being fourth in the Western Conference with a large double-double.

This season even though Greg Oden missed very few games due to injury, "Yellow Mamba" still shouldered the responsibility, so that the Blazers fans finally ushered in the team's revival.

Facing the relatively soft defense of LaMarcus Aldridge and Joel Przybila, two insiders, Anje scored a team-high 22 points and 8 rebounds in this campaign. But in this game Anjie only sent 4 assists, not because he reduced the pass, but because he passed the ball, most of which were not scored by his teammates.

Durant scored 13 points on just 4 of 13 shots, and Westbrook scored 12 points on 4 of 12 shots. The Thunder's three masters did not all misfire, but the two most aggressive offensive guys failed to reach their level. Under such circumstances, An Jie's 22 points are also difficult to play a major role.

This may be the reason why the Thunder have not been able to get tickets for the playoffs so far. As a common problem of rookies, the performance of the Thunder's three minors is still too unstable. They can push the Spurs into desperation when they are strong, but sometimes they will be defeated by a team that is the bottom of the Western Conference like the Clippers.

1o7 to 84, the Thunder lost at home at a critical moment.

I don't know whether God hates the Thunder or favors the Thunder. When the three players lost at home, all the Thunder rushed into the locker room and watched the live broadcast of the nBa game around the small TV.

The Timberwolves challenged the Jazz in an away game. But Love's brave performance pushed the Jazz into a desperate situation.

In the last 30 seconds, the Timberwolves shooting small forward Mike Miller hit a two-pointer to help the team lead 1o3 to 1o2 by one point.

In the ensuing time, Deron Williams made two consecutive irons to maintain the score until the end of the game. The tired Iron-Blooded Sir had been driven crazy by the Thunder behind him.

With 25 points and 15 rebounds, 2o and 1o from the field, Kevin Love's performance in this game is almost comparable to his performance in college. o8 rookies this year can be said to have upset the league, all kinds of upsets, most of them come from the hands of o8 rookies.

The final winner of the rookie of the year has become even more confusing.

The Jazz Thunder lost both, and their gap remained the same.

The competition between the two sides in this half-month can be said to be the most intense competition in the entire league. Until April 15th, when it was about to arrive, the Thunder and the Jazz had not yet been able to distinguish the winner!

"The last game of the regular season is left! The fate of all the teams has been determined! Only the Jazz and the Thunder, they are the only two teams in the league that have not distinguished themselves! The fight for eighth place in the Western Conference is better than Our imagination is much more intense! Both teams are 47 wins and 34 losses! Fate is undecided!" Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley's show, the theme naturally fell on the Thunder team. This year the two of them talked about the Thunder more often than not.

Playoffs have not been confirmed until the last regular season, and this situation has not happened before.

What people did not expect was that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is still being rebuilt, and the Thunder, which is supported by rookies, can actually get to this point. Therefore, in this last game, the Jazz and Thunder can be said to have attracted much attention.

On April 15th, the Jazz will face the Cleveland Cavaliers who sit back and relax in the playoffs. The Thunder encountered an opponent they least want to meet, the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns and Thunder are only two wins away, but they only have the last game to play. It was the Oklahoma City Thunder that reduced the Phoenix Suns to the point where there were no playoffs to play.

The Cavaliers have entered the playoffs, James will definitely choose to rest in order to hit the championship. Therefore, the Jazz might not encounter any strong obstruction in this game.

But the Phoenix Suns, who did not enter the playoffs, may be the team that most hopes to see the Thunder lose. Don't let us in, you don't want to succeed!

Stoudemire, who has returned from injury, has long wanted to meet this Chinese boy again!

In the battle to determine the fate of the playoff tickets, the Thunder encountered one of the worst opponents. (To be continued.)
