Chapter 848 An Outstanding Young Man
Winning a game is always exciting.Winning games in a row is even more exciting.
Therefore, at the press conference after the game, whether it was the head coach Donovan or the two core players Westbrook and An Luo, they all had a satisfied expression on their faces.
"Every time we come to this city to play, we will make the best preparations, play the best form in the game, and play the best performance, because we all know that if we are a little negligent, we will leave with regret. . The Jazz are a strong team, and it's important for us to be able to win games."
When talking about the matchup with Mitchell, An Luo was extremely excited.
"He's a really good guy! We won the game, but I don't think I won the matchup against Donovan. I know, we have a lot of similarities, and people always get Let’s evaluate together. I don’t think it’s an annoying thing, it doesn’t bother me, and I like the comparison…”
Compared to the happy atmosphere on the Thunder side, the atmosphere on the Jazz side was a bit gloomy.
"I think the players performed very well in the game, whether it was attacking or defending, we can't blame them. After all, in order to win the game, everyone did their best. Although the result is regrettable, we should not be blamed for it. Frustrated. After all, our opponents are the champions of last season and last season. Whether it is strength or experience, they are enough to win this game. We still need time to adjust the lineup, once we can play our full strength Fighting power, everything will be different. I have full confidence in this..."
In the face of aggressive reporters, Snyder defended his players with a livid face.
"Donovan is the core of this team, his performance is beyond doubt. In this game, he did everything he should do. Rudy is still the most worthy of our trust, his defense and Rebounding is an insurmountable hurdle for our opponents. Of course, we can't judge players based on statistics alone. We can't ask Mike and Bojan to do more. After all, this is what they are as members of Salt Lake City. Played the first game. They are all outstanding players, we should keep looking forward to them, keep looking forward to our team..."
Whether it was the Thunder's praise or the Jazz's defense, after this game, many people still stood up and criticized the Jazz's operations this summer.After all, Rubio was let go by them, and he has already completed a stunning enough debut in Phoenix.
Everyone in the Thunder returned to the hotel where they stayed after leaving the energy solution arena, and no one went out for entertainment.For one thing, Salt Lake City itself is not the place where these guys like to spend their days and drinks, and the entertainment life here is relatively lacking.Second, the game against the Jazz is only the first of their back-to-back games. They must take a good rest and then return to Oklahoma to meet the challenge of the Washington Wizards.
The NBA schedule is relatively dense, which is not a small burden for most professional players.Back-to-back games are even more irritating.
After a good night's sleep in the hotel in Salt Lake City, An Luo and the others packed up their things and set off on their way back to Oklahoma.Due to time constraints, everyone in the Thunder boarded the bus and went straight to the Chesapeake Energy Arena after getting off the plane.
When getting off the bus, both Westbrook and An Luo looked cool.However, everyone's faces didn't look like they were going home.After all, after a tiring journey, what awaited them was a great battle!
In fact, there is still some gap in the paper strength of the two teams, the Thunder and the Wizards.Although the Wizards' backcourt John Wall and Bradley Beal are also the top combination in the league, injuries ruined John Wall and the Wizards now.This season, although the Wizards have not officially announced that John Wall will be reimbursed for the season, it can be known from the reporters' revelations that this guy is basically unable to appear in this season's game.At least, the regular season cannot return from injury.In other words, the Wizards of this season have become Bill's team again.
To say that the Wizards team is really miserable.After they picked Hachimura Rui in the draft this year, it also indicates that the Wizards will enter the rebuilding state again.In fact, it's only been five or six years since they last saw the light of day when they completed a rebuild.
The Wizards at the time, after getting rid of the troubles of Arenas' junk contract, got Wall, Bill and Porter from the draft in a row.Wall is the point guard, Bill is the shooting guard, and Porter is the small forward. The three of them have become the main structure of the Wizards, plus some high-quality role players. The Wizards returned to the playoffs in the 2013-14 season, and the first round was 4: 1 kill the bull.
In the next four years, the Wizards made the playoffs three times.Although they have not been able to go too far in the playoffs, both Wall and Bill have been selected as All-Stars and have become the league's famous backcourt double guns. Their future is what everyone looks forward to.
But then, Porter left for Chicago, Wall suffered an injury, and the entire Wizards resisted on Bill's shoulders.Of course, Bill didn't disappoint.Last season, Bill played 82 games, averaging 36.9 points, 25.6 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 5.0 minutes per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 47.5%.After this season of training, Bill squeezed into the league's first shooting guard echelon.However, if the Wizards want to become a playoff team again, it is still quite difficult in terms of the current lineup configuration.
How shabby is the current Wizards lineup?Apart from Beal, there is no other player who is well-known.Ismail Smith?Isaac Bonga?Thomas Bryant?This guy doesn't have a name yet!Davis Bertans?The players from the Spurs are barely well-known...
"Bradley is a very good guy. I played against him, whether it is offense or defense, he is a very difficult guy. I am looking forward to another match in the coming..."
After An Luo finished complimenting Bill to the reporter, he suddenly froze in the face of the Asian reporter's body temperature.For the Wizards who are about to play against each other, he knows a Bill.An Luo didn't have much impression of the other players.
"Rui Hachimura? Uh...I know him...a wonderful young man..."
