Chapter 257 The Best of the Second Month
After the end of the game with the Grizzlies, the Thunder officially bid farewell to 2016.
This year, for the Thunder, has really been full of ups and downs.They were once very close to the stage of the finals, but they became the background of others.They had a roster that was the envy of the entire league, but it collapsed in the summer.When everyone felt that they were going to be undervalued, they made up their lineup through trades and drafts, and played the second best record in the league.
This year, for An Luo, was also a year of ups and downs.When he first entered UCLA, he was unknown. Under the circumstances of being underestimated, he carried UCLA to win the NCAA national championship in Houston.With honors such as the MOP of the Final Four, the NCAA scoring champion, and the most outstanding player, he fell to 13th in the draft.When everyone was watching the joke, he used his super scoring ability to shut everyone up.
In general, the process of this year was very exciting, and the results did not disappoint everyone.An Luo is satisfied with his past year.When he first entered the league, he was able to get a place in the team and make his mark among more than 400 players, which is already very good.Especially for a Chinese defender, it is not easy.
New year, new weather, just entered 2017, An Luo received a series of good news.
On January 1, the league officially announced a series of awards for December 1.An Luo once again won the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference.He averaged 2016 points, 12 rebounds, 21.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 1.3% from the field, 1.6% from three-pointers, and 58.3% from free throws.For a rookie, this kind of data is already quite good!What's more, An Luo still played data as a substitute.
在奥拉迪波缺席的几场比赛中，安洛场均上场34分钟，能够砍下26.5分2.2篮板1.2助攻2.5抢断。已然是明星级别的球员了！
After scoring 41 points in the game against the Grizzlies, An Luo's reputation has risen a lot.Of course this is for American fans.In China, An Luo is already a superstar comparable to Kobe and James!
The second thing is about the All-Star game.
There is no doubt that An Luo will definitely be invited to participate in this year's rookie competition.In addition, there is a three-point contest. I believe that the organizing committee will definitely not let such a sharp shooter like him go.After all, An Luo has ranked first in the league so far, both in terms of shooting percentage and average number of goals per game.
What surprised everyone the most was that, judging from the first stage of the All-Star voting that had already started, An Luo's name was impressively listed, and the number of fans' votes was not low.You know, in order to avoid what happened to Yi Jianlian from happening again, the league has restricted the voting of overseas fans.Otherwise, An Luo will steadily enter the All-Star Game this season.
Even under such circumstances, An Luo still has a chance to be selected for this year's All-Star Game.It can be seen how many people like him.
Of course, fan votes don't fully determine which players are eligible for the All-Star Game.Because starting from this year, fan votes will only account for 50% of the total votes, and players and media votes will each account for 25% of the total votes.
No player wants to see a rookie become an All-Star.Therefore, An Luo himself has no expectations about entering the main match.
But it's also something to be happy about.Because of this matter, An Luo made a special call to share with Tang Xiaoru.The other party was also pleased with his achievements.
The Thunder generals who returned to Oklahoma City ushered in the game against the Clippers after a day off.
In the recent period of time, the Clippers, which have been affected by injuries, have lost 5 consecutive games.Their record also plummeted.The same goes for the Clippers tonight, with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin both sidelined.Let this game lose its suspense, but it is still very exciting.
The Thunder players who returned to the Chesapeake Energy Arena looked very excited.Westbrook has adjusted his state.And Oladipo's comeback is the happiest thing for everyone.Even An Luo was very happy.
Oladipo's return allowed An Luo to return to the team's sixth man position.His playing time and distribution of the ball in the game will be compressed accordingly.But An Luo didn't complain about Donovan's decision.Nor is there anything bad to say about the Oladipo product.After all, he is still a rookie, so there is no need to worry about everything.
Sometimes, a proper step back will leave a very wide space for yourself.
Oladipo's luck is still good.The injury healed quickly, and the opponent he encountered when he came back was famous but weak.
Rivers has had a hard time recently!With two core stars missing all of a sudden, he can barely piece together a decent starting lineup.Rivers Jr., Redick, Pierce, Mbah a Moute and Jordan Jr.
In contrast to the Thunder, Donovan is caught in the trouble of happiness.Oladipo returned from injury and returned to the starting lineup.An Luo, who just scored 41 points, sat back on the bench and led the second team.
The Thunder are now going through a very difficult time.After the storm, it must be sunny and sunny.
Before the start of the game, Westbrook took his teammates to a simple pre-match mobilization in the player channel.On one's own territory, one must have a hearty victory.
When the players were warming up, the resounding "O~K~C!" in the Chesapeake Energy Arena still echoed in the ears of every Thunder player.It has been drifting outside for several days, and they miss it very much!
Especially Oladipo, he has been away from this field for many days!Sitting in a chair every night and watching your teammates play isn't fun.
Now, he is finally back from injury.During the warmup, Oladipo was looking for his shooting touch from beyond the three-point line.It seems that he recovered very well, and he shot quite accurately every open three-pointer.
An Luo was asked by Donovan to complete a set of free throws.His free throws are really eye-catching.So far, his free throw percentage is only 7%, which is obviously not the level that a scorer should have.
Ten minutes before the start of the game, Donovan called everyone together.This is already the practice of the Thunder.For each game, Donovan will study the opponent's characteristics in advance, and then tell his players: what to pay attention to during the game, how to avoid the problems that he is prone to, and how to grasp the opponent's weaknesses to score.
Even if he is facing an incomplete Clippers like tonight, he will go all out to prepare.Moreover, he will also ask his players to treat the game with the same dedication as he does.
