Chapter 222 The end of the month
With an easy victory, everyone in Thunderclap was very happy.Westbrook's face was full of smiles at the press conference!
He didn't hesitate to praise his teammates.
As the leader of a team, you must have the attitude of "Victory is due to your teammates playing well, and loss is your own problem".In his words, joy was as thick as water, almost flowing out.
After the game is over, the Thunder generals can finally rest for a day.
After An Luo finished dealing with a group of reporters, he drove his "Bumblebee" out of the Chesapeake Energy Arena.The others didn't stop there too, and went home.Four games in five days, even these professional players are exhausted.Fortunately, the team is constantly winning, and everyone is in a good mood.
Feel good and sleep soundly!
After An Luo returned home, he slept comfortably.I didn't get up until noon the next day!He was still a little surprised, after all, he hadn't slept like this for a long time.
After getting up, An Luo started training.This is the homework that he will not miss every day.
In fact, for every professional player, daily training must be maintained.Proper training is necessary to maintain your body's condition and improve your technique.In the NBA, there has never been a shortage of talented people, but those who can play well have never been those who rely solely on talent to play.
An Luo can be lazy.But he has always had a sense of apprehension.He was afraid that on that day, his current abilities brought by the bracelet would lose their effectiveness.Just like the rookie wall back then, he didn't want to experience that feeling of helplessness again!So he kept training all the time.
Physical fitness, strength, ball control, running, three-pointers, free throws...
These basic skills are the content of his training.Although the effect is not obvious, for An Luo, it can make him feel at ease.What's more, what he did was not completely useless.Over time, his various abilities will definitely improve to a certain extent.
Training is very boring.But those who can endure loneliness will achieve something.
After completing all the training sessions, An Luo began to eat.Regarding this point, An Luo was not so harsh on himself.Of course, he is not as strict with himself as James, but he doesn't eat everything.An Luo does not eat sugar and fried food.Pork is also eaten less now!If you really want to eat it, you can do it yourself and make something for a toothbrush festival!An Luo, who grew up with Father An, still has some skills.
In the days without competitions, An Luo is actually quite boring!When I was at UCLA, I had to go to class, and I would accompany Tang Xiaoru to the streets and alleys of Los Angeles from time to time.
Now, he is alone.
Bill Duffy often came to his house, but most of the time, An Luo didn't like to hear what he said.Regarding endorsement and investment, he doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand.
An Luo felt that the money he received from Thunder was enough for his own expenses!He conservatively estimated that if he could play for 15 years, he would not be able to use up the wages he earned in his lifetime!
Fu Yao is also busy!Her own affairs, as well as the things An Luo didn't want to deal with, had to be resolved by her.As a parent, you are the child's reliance at all times.
In November, the Thunder's last game was played on the 29th.The opponent is the Eastern Conference team, the New York Knicks.
This is not a strong team.Although they have a lot of very good players, they are not a strong team.
The Knicks have not made the playoffs for three consecutive seasons.The team's wins in these three seasons were 37 wins, 17 wins and 32 wins.This is not intentional, this is also the most embarrassing part of them.Unlike the 76ers, Lakers and other teams, they obviously work very hard every season, but their final record is still terrible.
Their efforts can be fully reflected in the data.Last season, the Knicks allowed 100 points per 107.6 possessions, which ranked 18th in the league.But with the league's 26th pace of play, they were able to control the average conceded points to 101.1 points per game, which ranks 10th in the league.Judging from their poor record, it is indeed not easy to reach the top ten in the league with one statistic.
Although they did a good job on the defensive end.But the team's offense was terrible.The team scored only 100 points per 104.6 possessions last season, which ranked 24th in the league.You know, they have Anthony, the top scorer in the league.
The Knicks' style of play is very old.The entire league is playing fast and using three-pointers, while the Knicks are still persistently sticking to the inside and playing low singles.They rank 23rd in the league in three-pointers attempted, 24th in field goal attempts and 20th in field goal percentage.Moreover, this team is also obsessed with singles, and their assists rank 26th in the league.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the "triangle tactics" that team president Phil Jackson has always insisted on.Many people think that without Jordan and Kobe, the triangle tactics are just a joke.Of course this is a bit extreme.But it turns out that the Knicks team is indeed not suitable for the triangle tactics.
So this season, Phil Jackson relented.They changed the head coach and Hornacek took over.The player from the Jazz is a master of the pick-and-roll and fast basketball.Since the new season, he has not completely given up the triangle tactics, but absorbed some useful things for the team.So far, the effect of such changes is still very good.At the beginning of the season, their record was very good, and they were once ranked third in the Eastern Conference!It's slipped a bit now, but it's still firmly in fifth place.
As the team's number one star, Anthony naturally hopes to go further.He hopes to unite his teammates well and call on them to work together to improve the team's record and competitiveness.
"Our goal for the new season is to enter the playoffs and strive for a better ranking." Anthony said, "I hope to lead them to improve the competitiveness of the team, which is very important, because we are a team, only the team The best results come from working together.”
For the Thunder, this game is another one that must be won.They are constantly working hard to shorten the gap with the Clippers.Every game is crucial, especially the one that should be won, must be won!
Moreover, Derrick Rose of the Knicks has a relationship with Westbrook.
When he was in the NCAA, it was Rose who eliminated Westbrook's team and shattered their hopes of winning the No. 12 championship in team history.So every time he saw Rose, Westbrook was very positive.
This time is no exception.Even the current Ross is no longer the same Ross from back then!
