Chapter 123: The Stolen Secret
California, Los Angeles. Small �
Angel did not see his idol, nor did he see the purple and gold color. He stood panting in the three-second zone of Staples Arena, and the Los Angeles Clippers player wearing a white home jersey on the outside made another shot.
"Eric Gordon! Three-pointer!" In the last 49 seconds of the game, the Clippers' O8 rookie Eric Gordon scored a key goal to make the team lead five points in the last moment. People are now discussing Westbrook, discussing Derek Ross, discussing O.J. Mayo, and even the 12th overall pick, and he, the seventh overall pick, is rarely mentioned.
Today, facing the limelight Angel and Westbrook, Eric Gordon made a big blow without warning. He made 2 of 9 shots, yi2 of 4 free throws, 5 of 6 three-pointers, and his real shooting percentage was as high as 84! Eric Gordon has scored a full 4 points until now! Such scoring data is something that the above-mentioned people have never gotten!
After scoring the goal, Gordon received cheers from the entire Staples Center. At this moment, he was Staples' king. Although the Clippers were always teased as "Los Angeles Team 2", at least today, all fans are crazy about the Clippers, and all fans are fascinated by Eric Gordon.
"Incredible game! The O8 rookie is really surprising! Derek Ross has become the hope of the Chicagoans. Kevin Love has won the main position with his double-double performance. O.J. Mayo has become synonymous with superstars in Memphis, while Westbrook and Angel assist Durant in the playoffs. Now! Eric Gordon uses 4-point performance to focus everyone's attention on him. He wants to prove that the competition for the best rookie of the year also has his share!" Mike Brynn enjoyed it. This year, it is obvious that the superstars in the league such as Iverson are gradually getting old. The generations with James are gradually taking over the league, and Angel and others have formed new forces that cannot be ignored! The entire league has begun to change.
Jeff Van Gundy could only complain in his heart about God's injustice to him. Damien Wilkins' defense was absolutely flawed, but unfortunately, Gordon could score the ball no matter what, unreasonable!
In the last 49 seconds, Westbrook quickly advanced, and the Thunder are now five points behind, and all the pressure is on them.
Durant raised his hand to ask for the ball after a back-run. At this moment, Angel had not been able to catch up. Westbrook made his own pass, allowing Durant to get the basketball as he wished.
"Kevin Durant's mid-range shot! No! The Thunder missed the opportunity!"
Just when everyone was desperate, Russell Westbrook suddenly jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound in the messy inside line. Without thinking, Westbrook immediately made a layup on the spot, but with the interference of many Clippers players, the ball still fell out.
"Anjie! He stands out! He took offensive rebounds high! Another chance from the Thunder!"
Facing the penalty area full of people, Anjie did not have the same mentality as Westbrook's strong attack. His calm pass allowed Durant, who was outside the three-point line, to get another chance!
"Bang!" Durant's open three-pointer still didn't make a goal! An Jie jumped again. This time he did not catch the ball, but made a tip-in!
"Beautiful tip-in, Anger pulled the Thunder back from the cliff."
The difference between three points and 38 seconds, the yi-changing has not yet been achieved!
Everyone undoubtedly focused on Eric Gordon for the Clippers' offense. However, Gordon, who was confident, was still boldly trying to pull up and shoot in the face of Wilkins' tight defense.
"Can this ball be scored? No! If this ball is scored, it would be incredible! Although Gordon's previous performance is dreamy enough, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Thunder. Can the Third Young Master of the Thunder kill the game!" Mike Brynn has put all his emotions into the tense game.
There were ten seconds left in the game. After borrowing the pick-and-roll, Durant held the ball again! He had completed the final shot, but this time he was a little confident.
"Durant made continuous iron shots at the last moment! He couldn't stand up when the Thunder needed him the most!"
Sure enough, Durant missed the key ball again. Fortunately, Anjie still stuck his position and grabbed the offensive rebound again!
Anjie's old opponent DeAndrew Jordan immediately put pressure on Anjie. As long as Anjie is not allowed to play 2, he will be considered to have completed the task.
Indeed, there is not much time left now, and it is useless for the Thunder to get two points, not to mention that An Jie can't guarantee that his shot will definitely bring two points to the team. They need three-pointers!
With only five seconds left, Anjie boldly passed the ball, and the end point of this time became Westbrook.
Westbrook shot as soon as he received the ball. He was nervous and seemed to be a little hasty when he took the ball, as if he could not control his movements well.
"Oh! The Thunder's finalization ability at critical moments is really weak! They got much more opportunities than the Clippers, but they couldn't grasp it either!" Yes, Westbrook's three-pointer also hit the box.
This time, An Jie didn't even have the chance to grab the rebound. When the basketball started to fall, the whole game officially ended. The Third Young Master of Thunder failed to kill the game. Their lack of ability to handle the ball at critical moments made them kill themselves.
Staples Center, where Anger dreams of coming. Now, the audience is full of deafening cheers. The judging of the fans of Los Angeles is famous for the entire NBa. However, at this moment, all of them are crazy about the performance of Eric Gordon, a rookie in the yi grade.
When he arrived in Los Angeles, Anjie did not expect that he would leave as a loser.
Angel only scored yiyi points in this game, while Westbrook only scored 3 points more than Angel. Westbrook made only 4 of 3 shots, and the poor shooting percentage was the main reason for his low score today. But Angel's low score was not because of anything else, because Durant took up too many shots today, and he and Eric Gordon scored back and forth, and Durant could easily fall into the rhythm of competing with others.
With 39 points, Durant neither defeated Gordon, nor the Thunder could defeat the Clippers, the former defeated player Jeff Van Gundy, and had no choice. In the last moment, he had no other choice except relying on these three slightly frizzy young men.
Eric Gordon did not say hello to Angel and Westbrook after the game, but looked at the two guys with a proud look on their faces. The scores of these two guys today are only more than half of his. Yi, the best rookie in the West in February? The second best rookie of the year? Gordon only used yi games to suppress these two guys!
Before the game, everyone was detrimental to the Clippers because the Thunder's performance was really strong in the month. But now, Eric Gordon has made a strong response to others' contempt.
The reporters surrounded Eric Gordon and Kevin Durant had a few around him, but Angel and Westbrook rarely met anyone who came to haunt him.
Just as An Jie was about to enter the player channel, a guy wearing thick glasses pulled Angel.
"An! Can it take up some time for you?" An Jie turned his head. He had never seen this reporter before.
"I am Kenny Kanbiak, a reporter from Mosaike Entertainment."
Mosaike Entertainment News? Anjie has never heard of this media. Are they really a sports media?
"May I ask, Miss Katherine Watsonlin, is it really your girlfriend?" The reporter wearing glasses asked a question that had nothing to do with the exciting game.
"What!?" Anjie suddenly frowned. How did they know about Catherine!
"Uh... Is Miss Katherine Watson really your girlfriend?" This reporter was interviewing an athlete for the first time. He was frightened by Angel's serious expression.
An Jie did not answer, but turned around and ran back to the locker room. The team lost the ball and An Jie was already disappointed enough, and now he seemed to think something worse was already happening.
"Hey An, what's wrong with you?" Westbrook was puzzled when he saw Anjie hurriedly opening the locker in the locker room and taking out his cell phone.
Anjie called Catherine and it was connected in a few seconds.
"An, the school gate is full of reporters now, I don't know how to get out." On the phone, Katherine spoke first.
"Don't panic, ask your dad to pick you up. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Morris and the others to take you out!" This is exactly what Anjie is worried about. Catherine is a serious girl and Anjie's right girlfriend. It is logical that there is nothing to be ashamed of such a thing being announced.
Indeed, there is nothing shameful about this, but Anjie is not worried about this, but after the relationship between them is announced, Catherine's peaceful and happy life will be broken!
Faced with reporters' questioning, the paparazzi at home were surrounded and lived in the spotlight. It did not make people feel relaxed, but it would only make people feel more tired. They should always pay close attention to their words and deeds. Anjie and Catherine both hoped that she could complete her studies safely and then go to Anjie in a low-key manner. However, now, the plans of these two people have been completely disrupted.
Most American girls are eager to stick to NBa players and start living a high-exposure and high-income life from then on. However, Catherine pursues simple peace. She hopes that she can still go to her own restaurant to do chores after school, hopes to watch Anjie's game silently in her small room, and hopes to go shopping with her friends unscrupulously. But now, Catherine is also half a public figure.
Now An Jie only has a question in his mind, who announced the news.
The only reporter who knew about Anjie and Catherine's relationship was Wu Hua. Anjie thought about it and immediately canceled Wu Hua's suspicion. If Wu Hua wanted to do so, he would have announced the news long ago without waiting until now. Who would it be?
