LeBron James, this guy, Anjie often saw on TV before, but he didn't expect that he could compete with such a person. But at the same time, James's strength is more terrifying than what he saw on TV. Only after confronting him with his own hands can you understand the power of that guy.

He scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in 43 minutes. Even after playing on the court for a long time, his shooting percentage was still as high as 58! This is the strength of the hyped future league No. yi. If it weren't for his young and never won the championship, the "future" prefix might have been removed.

As the Thunder's number one offensive point, Anjie scored 23 points and rebounds in the game, but only 5 assists. The first is because Anjie has more independent attacks, so there are naturally fewer passes. The second is because Durant wasted too many opportunities, and several wonderful passes failed to become assists.

However, 5 assists are no longer missing from the center position.

Like Yao Mingyi, James originally planned to treat Anjie to dinner the next day, but due to the intensive schedule of nBa, Anjie had to reject James' kindness.

After No. 2yi finished this game with the Cavaliers, the next day, all the Thunder team members would fly to Atlanta to prepare for the game against the Hawks the day after tomorrow, which is the 23rd.

After confronting James, the third young master of Thunder felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He was already physically tired, and he thought that he would immediately run a long distance again the next day, and then continue playing the game on the third day, so they felt even more exhausted.

This is the life of professional players. Behind those glamorous stories, more are training, flying, playing games, training, flying, playing games... This cycle repeats itself, and persists in a full 82 games. If you are "fortunate" to enter the playoffs, then congratulations, when others have already started to enjoy the holidays, you must also pay for the championship, and such efforts are still very likely to not be rewarded.

The next day, the Thunder only left Oklahoma after regular training, so it was already eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Atlanta.

As soon as he got off the plane, Anjie felt that he was not even breathing. There was no way, after all, Atlanta was located on Mount Abala, which was 350 meters above sea level. As one of the three major mountain cities in the United States, the thin air here made Anjie not recover yet.

After completing all the procedures, the Thunder bus passed through downtown Atlanta in a low-key manner. When all the players checked into the assigned hotel room, the time had already turned into 10 o'clock in the evening.

An Jie fell down and lay down on the bed. He really didn't understand where the players who went out for fun after the game got their energy.

Even though Angel is coming to Atlanta for the first time, even if the night view of Atlanta outside the hotel is very charming, the tired Angel is not even interested in going out.

"Damn, I brought several sets of clothes, but I didn't have time to wear them out and wander around." Westbrook, who lived in a room with Anjie, only packed his luggage. The No. 0 defender's dressing taste was very unique and avant-garde, and it was often the focus of reporters' cameras.

"Let's go to bed, Russell, do you really think the boss brought us to Atlanta for a trip?" Anjie was not like, two pieces of clothes and some daily necessities, which were almost all his luggage.

If Westbrook's teammate was a guy like Michael Beasley at this time, maybe he would have been tempted to go out and fool around with Beasley. Fortunately, Westbrook was arrogant and Anjie was relatively restrained, which made them form a good complement and mutual restraint. Seeing that Anjie was asleep, Westbrook had to stay in the hotel obediently.

But even so, the tired Thunder still couldn't find their form in the next day's game.

Perhaps it was really because of the fact that the Thunder Third Young Master had spent too much physical strength when fighting against the Cavaliers. Now on the court, the Thunder players felt that they could not take any steps. Because of Ricard's devil training and Ba's intensive schedule, Angel knew how happy Ricard's physical training was in the past.

Although it is a home game, the Hawks, which play back-to-back games, are not in much better shape. The offensive efficiency of the two teams is extremely low, and the number of low-level mistakes increases, making people unable to believe that this is a confrontation at the yiba level.

The two teams are not comparing who can do better, but comparing who can avoid becoming the worst one. In the end, the young Thunder still "winned" the competition for who is the worst.

Yi made two mistakes throughout the game, and this data directly reflected the Thunder's performance in this game. Jeff Van Gundy was so angry that he broke a brand new tactical board. Seeing that he had no sleep all night, the countermeasure he thought of was not cracked by his opponent, but was ruined by his own players. Who can be tolerated as a coach?

In the end, the Thunder lost the last away trip before Christmas 98-88, which is also the first time since Jeff Van Gundy took over the team, the Thunder have won the bitter fruit of a series of losses.

"The team has gone from five consecutive victories to two consecutive losses now. What do you think has caused the situation like this now?" At the press conference after the game, the reporters naturally would not spare the Thunder general.

"My guys and I don't know how to write the word "rest". If the league can shorten the regular season schedule, then our condition will definitely be much better." Jeff Van Gundy used the media as a weapon and once again complained about the league's extremely unscientific schedule.

"What you mean is that as long as the Thunder are physically strong, you can beat the Hawks?" The picky reporters will have two of them in each press conference.

"I have never said such words, this is what you said." Faced with such a reporter, Jeff Van Gundy's way of dealing with him was to be indifferent to him.

"An, you only scored 3 points and 7 rebounds in this game. Do you think your body can't keep up with the pace of the nBa schedule?"

"I just don't feel good, and the nBa schedule is not difficult for me." Even if I tell lies, I cannot admit that he is exhausted now.

No matter what the Thunder team says, the newspapers on the next day are still full of doubts about them. What are the nature of weak teams exposed, and what are the four-game winning streak plus five-game winning streak are just a rebirth. With various titles and various imaginations, the Thunder players and coaches also threw these newspapers into various trash cans.

Although they lost the ball, all the members of the Thunder knew that as long as they could get a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, they would definitely be able to show their true level in the next game. If the outside world wants to say it, let them say it. What the Thunder loves to do the most is to surprise everyone.

The next day after the game, Christmas Eve arrived as scheduled. No matches were arranged on this day, and all members of the Thunder team also received two consecutive days of holidays on Christmas Eve and Christmas.

However, today, the outside of the Chesapeake Energy Arena was covered with snow, and the team was on vacation. Even Van Gundy temporarily put down his work and returned to his family. However, Anjie was still wearing only a jersey in the training ground and sweating.

He doesn't stop practicing more during his holidays, which is a habit that Anjie developed in college. Tomorrow Christmas, this year's Christmas should be much more lively under his arrangement than last year, so there is really no time to train tomorrow, so Anjie can only complete tomorrow's part on Christmas Eve.

From the time she drove into the arena in her down jacket at noon until now at 8 o'clock in the evening, An Jie has never left the training ground. In this cold winter, An Jie soaked the entire four jerseys with his sweat.

Anjie is so tired that he can't speak. There are security guards at the Chesapeake Energy Arena 24 hours a day, so Anjie doesn't have to worry about leaving too late.

He lay on the physiotherapy bed in the locker room, but of course, the physiotherapy therapist had already gotten off work. An Jie stared blankly at the white ceiling in the locker room, full of expectations for tomorrow's Christmas Eve.

"My father and mother should have been on the plane now, right? Let them play in the United States for a few more days this time so as not to get tired of their bodies in a hurry. Of course, there is also that girl... The two places have been separated for so long, and we can finally meet again tomorrow." Thinking of this, the tired Anjie smiled happily at the ceiling.
Chapter completed!
