Chapter 205 I Believe I Can
At the end of the game, Westbrook took the initiative to hug Ibaka.
He is a man with clear grievances!Some people are gone, but they are still brothers; some people are gone, but they can only look at each other coldly!
This game is completely a duel between Westbrook and Ibaka.Everyone else is a foil.
威斯布鲁克出场38分钟，21投14中，砍下了41分12篮板16次助攻！
伊巴卡出场37分钟，22投16中，得到了37分9篮板4封盖！外加一个绝杀球。
An Luo's offensive end is still sluggish.But he managed to restrain Fournier's performance. The latter made 14 of 5 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws. He scored 15 points and added 5 assists.There were 5 turnovers at the same time.
In the two games, An Luo has completed 5 steals.From the number of 10, the difference is half!Almost 500 three-pointers have been shot.Victory is just ahead!
However, the situation is getting worse.After losing this game, the Thunder have lost three games in a row.And the next match is probably going to be more ominous than good.The pressure is also mounting on Donovan and Westbrook.The doubts from the outside world and calls for a trade and coaching change made the Thunder generals panic.
But An Luo can only lock himself in the training ground. He can't do anything except rush to shoot three-pointers outside the game and defend desperately during the game.
Some people are anxious.Dolovan even arranged for a special shooting coach to accompany An Luo in training, aiming to take this opportunity to find out why An Luo missed the three-pointer.As a result, the trainers who were sent began to doubt their own professional standards.
An Luo's shooting posture is very standard, and the rhythm is also very good.But just can't make it!
In the game against the Pistons, An Luo still barely completed his task.In addition to contributing two steals on the defensive end, other aspects are still sluggish.However, An Luo's playing time has almost dropped to single digits!
This is a very dangerous signal.
An Luo's situation also reflected Thunder's current situation.
The Thunder players dragging their tired bodies couldn't find their form in the Motor City at all.Even if "Zhuang Shen" Andre Drummond was absent, they still lost the game cleanly.
Westbrook became Oklahoma's only fig leaf.
本场比赛，威斯布鲁克发挥出色。21投11中，得了33分、15个篮板和8次助攻。但队友未能给予他太多的帮助，其他四个首发加起来只得19分。
The four-game losing streak pushed the Thunder to the cusp.
The doubts and criticisms that had been submerged in Thunderclap's seven-game winning streak broke out in an instant.
Westbrook's ability to lead the team has been doubted by people. Combined with his gorgeous data, he finally became a "brush" in people's mouths.And these people have forgotten that the last person they called a "brush" was Kobe!Its experience is almost exactly the same as Westbrook's now.
However, losing all the time still has a great impact on players like the Thunder.Everyone is not in a high mood, and the atmosphere in the locker room is very dull.Although Westbrook has done everything a boss can do: on the court, he desperately uses various methods to help the team win, off the court, he takes the initiative to take responsibility, comforts and encourages his teammates, and trains with his teammates...
The Thunder desperately needed a victory to dispel the haze that had shrouded everyone for a while.
Back in Oklahoma City, the Thunder will face Houston's challenge.
"Second brother" is in trouble, how can "third brother" stand by and watch?At critical moments, you have to rely on your own people!No, Harden immediately stood up and gave a big gift.Brotherhood is deep, it can be seen!
In this campaign, the Houstonians suddenly collapsed in the fourth quarter.In the 6 minutes before the end of the game, they did not score a point and lost their lead.Although Gordon made a three-pointer at the buzzer at the last moment, it was too late and he could only give up the victory!
After winning this battle, the Thunder's record became 8 wins and 4 losses, barely stabilizing the situation.
But An Luo's situation is very bad!
In this game, he only played 5 minutes in the second quarter, and he was never sent by Donovan again.
3 shots from outside and 3 irons, only one steal was recorded in the whole game, which is really appalling.It is conceivable that he will be attacked by those media reporters and commentators with sharp words next.
But An Luo didn't care.After the game, he returned to the locker room without saying a word, and then left the Chesapeake Energy Arena alone.He felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he really didn't want to face the questions of those chattering reporters.Another reason is that he wants to seize every minute and every second to complete the task of breaking the "rookie wall".He really can't bear the current downturn.
As soon as I got home, Westbrook's call came.
"Dude, where are you?"
It could be heard that he was a little anxious.
"I just got home, Russell. What can you do?"
An Luo probably knew why the other party made this call.After all, after getting along for a period of time, he can feel the care this guy takes for him.Of course, he takes good care of every Thunder player and is a good boss.
"Then you wait, I'll come and find you."
Soon, Westbrook came over.He knew that An Luo lived here, and An Luo invited his family to dinner not long ago.After all, he is an alumnus, and Westbrook's wife Nina is also from UCLA and is now a teammate, so he should be closer.
"Hey man! What are you doing here all by yourself?"
It wasn't just Westbrook who came, Adams also drove his new car to An Luo's house.
Adams is definitely the most mismatched look and character.Although he has grown long hair and a beard in the past two years, he looks a bit fierce, but he is actually a very gentle person and very enthusiastic.More encouragement and concern for An Luo recently than Westbrook.
"Hi, Russell!" An Luo and Westbrook hugged, and then hugged Adams again: "Steven, welcome to my house."
"Are you training here?" Westbrook looked at An Luo's small court, then shook his head and said, "Ann, why don't you train in the team's training hall? It's too irregular here!"
"It's okay, I'm just here to practice shooting!"
Next, An Luo still did his own thing.Westbrook and Adams acted as caddies.
"Ann, don't worry. Most rookies will encounter this kind of thing, but I believe you will find your touch soon. The season is still long, and we have enough time to wait for you."
Feeling the speed of An Luo's shooting, Westbrook said to him cautiously.
"I know, Russell. I always believed I could do it!"
