You rarely see An Jie having such a moment of embarrassment. He is now lying limp on the court, with Morris and Ibaka who are ready to support him on both sides.

When ordinary people have a high fever, even normal activities are very inconvenient. But Anjie not only has to move, but also plays in the fiercest battle arena. And this movement lasted nearly forty minutes.

Every time Van Gundy puts Anjie on the court, it is a challenge to his own psychology. He was reluctant to let Anjie fight with such pain, but Van Gundy had no choice. Besides, Anjie has been chatting in Van Gundy's ears, and he wants to fight hard!

"Let me go on the court, I really don't want to sit down. You can let me rest for a minute or two after I play continuously. But don't let me sit like this." This sentence , Is what Anjie said the most to Van Gundy today.

Now, the entire Lakers team are celebrating their hard-won victory, and the Thunder team are all gathered together. Their focus is the Chinese center who collapsed to the ground after the game.

An Jie didn't want to move at all now, and every move was a cruel torture to his muscles and nerves. At the beginning, he still had the belief in winning, which supported his non-stop fighting. But when this belief was shattered, An Jie felt as if his body had been emptied.

But he didn't want to just lie on the ground, he didn't want to make himself look like a loser.

"Help me up now, buddy, I think about it." An Jie stretched out his hands, now it is very difficult for him to stand up by himself.

If An Jie knew in advance what pain he would endure, he would definitely not choose to experience it again. In this game, Anjie was completely supported by determination and perseverance. He has no strength, no sleep, nothing. But the Lakers' twin towers will not relax on Anjie because of this. On the contrary, in the tiebreaker, the two insiders of the Lakers were more active and tougher.

Especially in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, An Jie had no idea how he spent it. Every time he runs, every time he comes into contact with the opponent's body, he will have a splitting headache and aching muscles. He completely relied on his instinct on the basketball court to complete the game.

In the 1997 Finals, in Utah's fifth game, the Bulls' Jordan scored 38 points against a high fever and won the game. But now Anjie is still too far away from Jordan. In the same battle with illness, the results of the Thunder and Bulls are quite different.

Anjie only had 15 points and 8 rebounds in this game, but he still sent out 3 blocks and completed the defensive task very well. Even Kobe Bryant had several somersaults in Anjie's hands.

Although not as great as Jordan, what Anjie has done is enough to win him the respect of everyone.

When the No. 16 big man was pulled up by Ibaka and Morris, and when Anjie leaned softly on Morris, the stands at the Staples Center burst into applause.

They did not applaud for the victorious Lakers, but for An Jie, for the man who feared pain and fought to the last minute.

Los Angeles fans are arrogant, except for the Lakers, it is difficult for them to treat other teams friendly. But when a player achieves An Jie's level, it is enough to conquer this group of arrogant fans.

The last visiting player to win applause from the audience at Staples was Yao Ming, who played "The Return of the King" in the Western Conference semifinals last year. This year, it's still the Western Conference semifinals, and it's still a Chinese player. An Jie once again impressed the world with his practical actions.

An Jie slumped weakly on Morris, while Morris supported An Jie and walked towards the player channel step by step. At this time even Kobe also ran over to confirm Anjie's situation.

Kobe initially thought that An Jie's fever was just a boring rumor, and An Jie's excellent performance in the first quarter made him firm this point of view. But the farther behind the game, Anjie's performance became more and more wrong. Only then did Kobe know that Anjie was really in the game with such a great pain.

Even if Kobe and Anjie have a good relationship in private, even Kobe was moved by Anjie's behavior and spirit. But the game is the game, there is no mercy in the game. There is only one winner, and Kobe wants to be that winner.

But now that the game is over, the relationship between the two has once again changed from an enemy to a friend. It is normal for Kobe to be concerned about it.

Until he was helped into the locker room, An Jie didn't know what happened just now. The last thing he remembered was the dazzling score on the big screen. 104 is 111, which is the only number Anjie remembers. He knew he had lost, he was unwilling to want to clenched his fists, but found that he didn't even have the strength to do so.

"Drink some water." The team doctor also followed An Jie's footsteps into the locker room. After the game was over, they had to prepare An Jie well.

At this time, the mobile phone in Anjie's cabinet had been blown up. But these people who called are not concerned about the results of the game, but about Anjie's condition. Even Catherine and Divac, who were far away in Europe, learned the news for the first time.

But the unconscious An Jie couldn't notice the vibration of the phone in his cabinet. He just took off his shirt and leaned against his cabinet weakly. He is thinking about all his experiences this season, because from now on, the 09-10 season belonging to him and the Thunder is completely over.

The entire locker room was staring at An Jie, and even the teammates who got along with each other day and night had to respect An Jie. They all know that if the same thing happens to them, they may not even be able to wear a jersey. But everything Anjie has done surprised everyone.

"Damn, I wanted to clean up the old rival of the Suns in the Western Conference Finals..." After a long time, the weak Anjie's finally spoke.

"You can't even take care of me now. I'm really afraid that your brain will be burned out. Your IQ is not high." Morris let out a sigh of relief when he heard An Jie speak.

"Don't brag about Morris, it's just you... You lost to me the first time you singled out. Did you forget?" An Jie never spoke softly to Morris, even when he was sick.

"Who said that I lost that time? It was Coach Ricard who stopped the game. He was afraid that you would lose confidence." An Jie can still joke, which shows that his brain is not broken.

Suddenly, the lifeless dressing room gradually became active. It is a pity to lose to the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals, but what is more precious is the process of this group of young people along the way.

At the beginning of the season, everyone knew that the Thunder would increase their strength. But no one of the media thinks they can rank fifth in the West. In the playoffs, the Thunder were defined from the beginning as the kind of "taste something new and go home" team. However, they literally reached the Western Conference semifinals and forced the defending champion to hang by a thread.

They lost, lost the game, lost seven points, lost the tiebreaker, and were eliminated from the playoffs.

They also won, won the respect of their opponents, won the recognition of fans, and most importantly, won this unforgettable playoff experience.

The steps are up step by step, and no one can step up to the top in one step. The playoffs this time are just the first training for them. Even someone who is as strong as Jordan has passed years of experience before finally creating glory.

Losing the game, winning the respect, the Thunder fell in front of the Lakers, undoubtedly became synonymous with this sentence.

Fans all over the world now know the strength of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Anjie's fans have grown rapidly after this game. But the Thunder players didn't think about it. Now they just want to be in the locker room well, after the only short period of time left at the end of the season...

An Jie was sitting in the locker room and infused fluid, while the others were chatting with each other. No one feels good after being eliminated, and the way to alleviate this emotion is to communicate.

Van Gundy stood at the door of the dressing room without saying a word. The locker room now belongs to the players only. As the head coach, he should not interfere.

The Thunder's journey is over again. As a team that has no hard requirements for results, they can go to the present, which has greatly exceeded the management's expectations.

Another journey of the Thunder has also begun~www.NovelMTL.com~ As a team with the most potential, their future upside space is huge. Perhaps it won’t be too long to see the Thunder in the finals.

The night sky of Staples is dotted with countless shining stars, which indicates that the California sun will continue to shine on this bright city of angels the next day.

An unremarkable meteor passed through the Milky Way. He only brightened for a while before completely disappearing from people's vision. But under this starry sky, the most dazzling thing happened to be the meteor.

They flew by, falling, flying, falling, and across the sky again and again, just to leave their mark in the sky, even if it was at the expense of burning themselves. Although life is short, it has been very extraordinary. It doesn't understand why other stars are content with the status quo, and are not willing to fight to the death.

An Jie can just give up the game, and relying on the annual salary of the current rookie contract, he can live a long time comfortably. But he just wanted to create a different landscape, and mediocrity scared him more than sacrifice and hard work. So he has never relaxed his training, even if he has to endure pain, he is willing to fight to the death.

Today, Anjie is Staples' meteor. Although fleeting, it is impressive enough. When this guy stands up again, can you guarantee that he will be a meteor next time? Maybe after experiencing these, he will become the brightest star in the sky, never falling to the ground.

The fierce Western Conference semifinals finally came to an end, but the final outcome did not develop in the direction of a fairy tale. However, the Thunder achieved this step, and it can also be said that they have won.

They hit a blockbuster, and the blue and white lightning left a deep mark on the NBA map...
