The Way of the Center

Chapter 188: : The real test

   Even though the team is going to Detroit tonight, Van Gundy's regular training during the day did not relax the players at all. This season has just begun, and Van Gundy must alert these young people, not to stun their heads just because of a game victory.

"What's wrong with you, Ann, what time did you come back yesterday." In the daily necessary confrontation training, Anjie's defense against Morris missed five consecutive shots, which was a rare situation in the past. .

   "Come back to Morris, let's come again!" To talk about what Anjie learned during the few days of training with Kobe, it is a "bad habit" that is demanding of his own training.

   Repeat, repeat, when everyone else has rested, Angel and Morris are still repeating on the training ground. The two men's training vests were soaked, and the floor was full of sweat dripping from their faces. But for these two guys, no one asked for a break.

   "Ann, Morris! Stop practicing, go to sweat, we have to rush to the airport!" It was not until Jeff Van Gundy came forward to terminate the one-on-one training between the two.

   This scene is almost like the situation where Ricard came forward to stop when the two met heads-up for the first time.

   "I hope you feel better tomorrow than today, Ann." The result of training is that Morris has the upper hand and Anjie misses a lot of shots.

   Fortunately, the tired Anjie did not have a game today. Otherwise, after the first performance, he would not be able to continue the second game immediately, and he would definitely be used by critics to make a big fuss. It seems that sleeping too late is not good for rest, but it really has a great impact on the competitive state.

   Van Gundy and Morris were still worried about An Jie's condition the next day, but An Jie scored his 16th point in the game on the second day with practical actions.

"The Ben Wallace after returning to Detroit is no longer the big Ben of the year! He can't withstand the impact of the Eastern Tower at all, Ann! Turn around and make a jumper, and then enter! The inside control of the league, it's time to change hands! "

   An Jie changed from yesterday's downturn in training and performed well. In the case of Westbrook frequently sending wonderful passes, Anjie once again became the team's second output point after Durant.

   In addition to Anjie, everyone else on the Thunder team also performed very well. They weren't overwhelmed by the big victory in the first game.

   "93 to 83, the game is over! The people in Auto City are not the ones who can stop the powerful Thunder in the new season. The Detroit Pistons lost two straight games, and the Thunder won two consecutive victories!”

   An easy road trip ended in victory, Anjie scored 24 points again and grabbed 12 rebounds. Only the number of assists was only 6, because Westbrook sent 10 assists alone.

   Westbrook has more than double-digit assists in two consecutive games. This is no coincidence, but Van Gundy did it deliberately.

   Trained Westbrook into a point guard who has excellent offensive ability but can also control the overall situation. This is an extra goal Van Gundy has set for himself. Therefore, tactically, Van Gundy has delegated more of the organization's tasks to this increasingly mature No. 0 guard.

   With a record of victory, the time has come to November. In the face of the Portland Trail Blazers who performed well last season but started the season unfavorably, the Thunder won again.

   On November 1, the lineup was complete. The Blazers, who played six games with the Rockets in the playoffs last season, also lost to the fully upgraded Thunder.

   "Glassman" Oden, who played all over the court, scored 10 points and 12 rebounds in this campaign, but An Jie's 16 points and 11 rebounds were even better.

   Durant feels really cold in this game, only 3 of 20 shots, and his shooting rate is horrible. So Jeff Van Gundy temporarily adjusted the offensive focus, making Westbrook this game crazy again. He put the matter of organizing the offense behind his head, and he attacked when he took the ball.

   Because of this, Anjie has once again assumed the role of an offensive organizer, so that not only Westbrook benefits, but also Morris and Ibaka, who are inside with Anjie, can also get a lot of opportunities.

   In the end, despite Durant's poor shooting percentage, with the joint efforts of the remaining Thunder players, they still won in Portland with a score of 83 to 74 and continued to maintain their undefeated golden body in the season!

   "The Thunder are unstoppable. They suffered a ten-game losing streak at the beginning of last season. This season, I bet they can start a ten-game winning streak!"

"The Thunder is already one of the strongest teams in the West, but many people are unwilling to admit it. Because most of the players who lead the Thunder are just rookies. Although they are rookies, the ability of the Thunder's three minors can already be called For being a superstar!"

"The third-year Durant and the second-year Westbrook and Anjie, plus a group of puzzle characters suitable for the Thunder’s three young masters, the strength of the Thunder team is different from last season, and each team should set its own right. Mentality."

   Almost all the media are full of praise for the Thunder. Up to now, the NBA has only five teams that have not tried and failed, and the young Thunder is one of them.

   Although this team is highly anticipated, when they really show their strength, they still make everyone stunned.

   Except for the time to pick up Giardina, Anjie has resumed the first "tradition" of going to the training ground.

Even though the team only returned from Portland last night, even considering that Van Gundy, who must have been exhausted after the two road trips, postponed the training time to 8:30, Anjie still arrived early and started the day. training.

   In the season when the weather is getting colder, Anjie also wants to sleep more in the quilt. But when he thinks of the opponent he will face tomorrow night, An Jie is so excited that he can't sleep, only playing basketball can alleviate his emotions.

   "We will fight in the low post next season!" This is the last text to Anjie when Kobe leaves the training camp in the summer. Whether Kobe remembers it or not, Anjie hasn't forgotten it.

   Unlike last season, it took more than a month to meet the Lakers. This season, the Thunder will meet the defending champion early.

   On November 3, which is tomorrow, the Thunder will play at home for the second time this season. However, the opponent they will face this time is unmatched by the previous teams.

   Los Angeles Lakers, the 08-09 season championship, Kobe Bryant, the 08-09 season fmvp. The honourable Purple and Gold Legion once again stepped into Oklahoma City, ready to take away the victory.

   Anjie knows what kind of person Kobe is, so he dare not rest, for fear that Kobe will practice one more minute than himself before the game.

   put his back on his back, shook his shoulders, leaned back for a jumper. An Jie used this method to throw the ball for the fourth time. He knew that this action would become a big killer for Kobe to score points tomorrow!

   The Thunder did not win even one victory over the Lakers last season, but this season, An Jie will not allow this to happen again!

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

   When Kobe came up to say hello to him~www.NovelMTL.com~ An Jie realized that four months have passed.

   In four months, Anjie helped the Chinese team stand on top of Asia, and he also won the honor of the Asian Championships mvp. In the new season of the NBA, he has also played three games.

"You know what I did in the summer, and I won't be merciful later." Kobe didn't just say it casually. According to his personality, he would definitely be madly guarded by Anjie in the game. Inside.

   "Don't think I will treat you nicely after a few meals in Houston, come on, and play a good game together." Angel and Kobe hugged, as he expected before the start of the season.

"Angel and Kobe participated in the Olajuwon training camp at the same time this summer. We can look forward to the performance of these two fellow brothers in the low position later." Mike Brin has done a lot of homework and the new season has begun. It's been a week, but espn is broadcasting the Thunder game for the first time. This gives Mike Brin enough time to collect all the commentary materials.

   They are friends, and they are also their worst enemies. As long as in the west, Kobe will inevitably become a stumbling block on Anjie's road to success. Anjie and the Thunder are also a big hurdle that the Lakers had to cross.

   The first real test the Thunder faced was finally overdue.

   The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers will test the real strength of the Thunder for the entire league. ! (To be continued.)
