Chapter 588 Heroes Twilight
The results of the first round of voting for the 2019 All-Stars will not be announced by the league until January 1. On January 3, that is, one month later, TNT will announce the list of starting players live. On February 1, the list of substitutes will be announced.It's been a long wait.But for players like An Luo, they must also focus on the next game.
After Christmas, An Luo had a rare two-day rest.Donovan announced after getting off the plane that he will not organize everyone to participate in training for the next two days, which can be regarded as a compensation for the players who cannot spend Christmas with their families.Of course, including himself.
On the second night back in Oklahoma, all Thunder players, support team, coaching team and management team gathered in the villa of team owner Bennett.They held a carnival here that belonged only to Lei Ting's own people.
Wine, cigars, music, dance...
Every year, Bennett throws a party like this.He likes to wrap up and enjoy winning.Since the Thunder's next two games are on the road, the celebration came earlier this year.
Bennett made a review of the team's performance in the past year.He affirmed the achievements of this year in all aspects including the championship, and expressed his gratitude as a true Oklahoma native to a championship team like the Thunder.And, look ahead to the new year.
He made no secret of his desire for more championships.Of course, everyone present thought so.
Except for participating in this carnival, An Luo stayed at home with Tang Xiaoru the whole time.After formally meeting the parents of both parties, the two lived together openly.Although the Tang family put a lot of pressure on An Luo, Tang Xiaoru's parents did not object to their being together.Therefore, An Luo can be regarded as a double harvest in love and career.But in half a month, Tang Xiaoru will return to Los Angeles and go to UCLA to continue her studies.
Apart from losing a battle, An Luo had a pretty good Christmas.But this is only a temporary relief.Game by game is the main theme of professional players.
On December 12, An Luo followed the team to Phoenix.Having been bored at home for two days, An Luo felt a little vain.Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes!This is really on point.
As a result, his state in this game was not particularly good.
However, Westbrook showed his power this night!Paul George was injured, An Luo was in a downturn, and Westbrook could only be a father and a mother again.With a group of teammates waiting for food, they shot down the sun tenaciously.In this game, Westbrook played 18 minutes and contributed 40 points, 46 rebounds and 10 assists in a triple-double when An Luo only contributed 11 points. He made 28 of 17 shots, and his shooting percentage exceeded 8%!Among them, 5 of [-] three-pointers were made, which surprised everyone even more.
"Russell has always been an omnipotent player! As long as he wants, he can play such a game every night." In the locker room, An Luo faced the reporters and praised Westbrook bitterly After a while.When asked about his downturn, he was also very calm: "We have a long season, we will play 82 regular season games, and there will be more intense playoffs. Few people can put their best form Keep it going all season. Didn't play very well offensively tonight, but I knew I could do something defensively to help the team. So we ended up winning."
The sun is also very uncomfortable, this is the second time in a row that they have met the Thunder just after losing.Of course, the most uncomfortable person has to be the champion Lang Ayton.The last time the Thunder lost to the Lone Ranger, he was wiped out and dropped to the top of Tanhuaxiu Dongcic; this time, his performance was very good, and he looked a bit like the future super insider of the league.But the Thunder then lost to the Lone Ranger, and the key player was still Doncic.
In the final battle in 2018, the Thunder met the Lone Ranger.I lost last time, and this time, I also lost.
In fact, it was a pity that the Thunder lost this game.They are ahead of each other most of the time.Moreover, at most times, the lead was nearly 20 points.
As soon as the game started, An Luo changed the downturn of the previous game.In his first attack, he easily relied on his running position to find a chance to shoot in the right corner.And, throw the ball in.Then, after Jordan hit Adams with a strong back hook and hit the iron, An Luo quickly went down to catch the ball, caught the Lone Ranger's back defense and easily hit a chasing three-pointer from outside the right three-point line.Then it got out of hand!When he was replaced by Donovan in the 7th minute after playing, he had already scored 16 points!Only 2 points shy of the last full game in Phoenix.
But just like taking turns taking turns, Westbrook, who performed well in the last game, was suddenly possessed by Phoenix's An Luo.He missed one of his five field goal attempts in the first quarter.If he hadn't controlled himself in the next few minutes, this number would have been even greater.
After being beaten 10:0 by the Thunder, Doncic and Barnes stood up.The two teamed up to retaliate against the Thunder with a 9:0, stabilizing the situation on the court.Then, the pair fell into the rhythm of "You Jump I Jump".The Thunder hit one iron, and the Mavericks hit one iron; the Thunder scored one goal, and the Mavericks scored one goal.
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides scored 29:28, and the Thunder led by 1 point.
Whether it was An Luo who scored 16 points, Westbrook who smashed the basket, or Doncic who stood up to help the team out of the predicament, they were not the protagonists of this quarter.Even, they are not the protagonists of this game.When there was 1 minute and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, the whole arena remembered the earth-shattering cheers and applause.Because, everyone saw a familiar figure appearing on the court-Dirk Nowitzki.
Everyone knows that this season is Nowitzki's last season with the Lone Ranger.Therefore, the moment he caught the ball, the shouts of "MVP" in the American Airlines Center Arena resounded through the sky.We all cherish such moments.
Run, catch, shoot, hit!
Like every night before, Nowitzki was doing what he does best.His three-pointer helped the team overtake the score for the first time.
Every city has a city hero.Dirk Nowitzki is a hero in Dallas.But all players will grow old one day.The twilight of a hero is the most helpless thing.But these veterans will always be the most valuable asset of a team.Whether it's on or off the field.
