Chapter 311

Chapter 311 We Will Be Back

No one expected the Thunder to lose the series so cleanly.Just like in the first game, they defeated the Spurs so easily, which is unexpected.

"We will be back!"

These were Westbrook's last words to a group of reporters, calm and firm.

An Luo was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.Although there will always be a winner in competitive sports, why can't I be the winner?I only blame myself for not being strong enough!Maybe it was the same mood when Gobert and Hayward were eliminated by him before!

Not only to reporters, Westbrook said the same to the Thunder players when he returned to the locker room.

"We will be back!"

When An Luo yelled this sentence under the light, his mood was quite complicated.He didn't feel that feeling of sharing weal and woe when he was in No. [-] Middle School, and it wasn't strong at UCLA either.Maybe it's because the time we spent together was too short!

You know, for the first half of this season, he spent the most time with these guys.And everyone gets along very well.

As a rookie, An Luo received a lot of care from everyone.Especially Westbrook, as a senior, he took good care of An Luo.Whether on or off the court, Westbrook can always help him.Especially in the game, his passing always allows An Luo to have a lot of shots.

During that period of downturn, these teammates did not take this opportunity to run on him.Even Oladipo, who has a certain competitive relationship in playing time, got along very well with An Luo, and nothing unpleasant happened.

This is really very lucky for An Luo.The atmosphere in the locker room has a great influence on a rookie like him.

For a long time, everyone has the same title, that is Thunder.Before every game, everyone shouted "OKC" and then stepped onto the field.We sweated profusely on the training ground together, fought tenaciously on the field together; enjoyed victory together and faced failure together.

Unknowingly, An Luo had an indescribable feeling for Lei Ting.Not strong, but pure enough.

Now, the season is over.Everyone parted at this point and began to enjoy a long vacation.An Luo was really reluctant.This feeling is like the silence after a carnival, and there is no way to know what to do.

Westbrook called everyone together in the locker room and talked a lot.An Luo could tell that his heart was also quite heavy.As the boss of the team, he has done well enough this season.But he must be quite unwilling to make it to the Western Conference Finals.

"Then, this season is officially over! Everyone can spend time with their families and enjoy life. But guys, I have to remind everyone, don't be too fat to walk! Haha!"

Then he started hugging everyone.

"Man! We did a good job this year. But it's not perfect yet." Westbrook patted An Luo's head, and then continued: "I didn't do well enough, I originally wanted to take what you have farther But I'm sorry, I can only accept this result!"

It can be heard that Westbrook is just like himself.Blaming yourself for such an outcome is not strong enough.

"No, no, Russell. You have done a great job! It would be impossible for anyone else to do it." An Luo comforted Westbrook, then patted his ass, and said loudly: " Let's work hard together next season, senior!"

"Of course!"

After returning to Oklahoma, An Luo couldn't start enjoying his vacation immediately.

The first is that the team's owner Bennett came to a party at his home after the season ended.All players and staff are invited to attend.Although the team regrets being out now, the Thunder have been quite successful this season.Totally worth celebrating.

After that, we made an appointment to go to a nightclub together.And it was Westbrook who took everyone there.This is rare, anyway, An Luo has never seen it in the past half a year since he came to Thunder.Of course, An Luo himself hasn't been there a few times.What those guys are playing is too noisy and childish!

Later, Donovan also had a conversation with An Luo.The main content is to remind An Luo what aspects of training he should pay attention to during the offseason.He hopes that An Luo can develop his ability to attack with the ball and practice passing more.After all, the more diversified a player's offensive methods are, the less likely he is to be targeted.

An Luo himself understood this point.In the series against the Spurs, the opponent caught this point, which made him quite uncomfortable.Although playing off the ball can be more suitable for Westbrook, if he has an excellent offensive ability with the ball, he will share more pressure for Westbrook.

In Donovan's heart, the most ideal situation is: Westbrook breaks through with the ball and attracts the opponent to double-team, and An Luo can look for opportunities to score from the outside.Conversely, when An Luo was holding the ball on the outside, because he could easily solve the opponent one-on-one, the opponent had to double-team, and then Westbrook cut to the basket and received a pass from An Luo for a layup. .

Don't think that An Luo can relax after all the work together.In fact, he was still very busy in the next few days.For example, Bill Duffy came to An Luo after two days of rest, and brought many things outside the stadium: shooting commercials, new endorsement contracts, business activities with merchants, and so on.For another example, some interviews that were scheduled during the season were also on the agenda, and he had to cooperate to complete them.

After he settles all these things, the NBA Finals will start soon.The Warriors and Cavaliers easily dealt with their opponents, meeting in the final arena for the third time in a row.

And the various awards of the regular season that An Luo has been looking forward to have never been announced.This is another big reform of the NBA this year.The league decided not to announce the results of the awards one after another after the end of the regular season, but to keep the suspense until after the finals and announce them at the awards ceremony.

The reason why An Luo was so concerned was because his bracelet hadn't moved much.As far as he is concerned, this season is over, and it is time to harvest a wave of points.But that thing doesn't seem to call the end of the season.

After much deliberation, there are nothing more than two possibilities.Either wait until the finals are over, and all the games of this season will be over.Either the awards related to An Luo this season will be finalized.
