Chapter 140: Revisiting the Golden State
"Hey man, we played well this season and are ranked second so far. Although the ranking is the same as last season, due to our increased popularity, the boss said that we are almost within the range of the March Crazy Championship. How about it, I did not let you and Mike down. After you two left, the boss and I did not let the team sink. The new guys are also good, but what do they say... Sex
It doesn't fit my appetite, so I still miss you and Mike. By the way, you two seem to have not been very smooth recently. There are rumors that Mike may be cut by the Trail Blazers, and the road to the playoffs is not smooth due to injury. I can only hope that you two will have good luck. This is the last regular season game of the season. I am about to realize my dream of crazy March. You and Mike must work hard! No one can lose!"
The Tornado team also has a game today. Before the game, Morris gave Anjie such a text message to encourage the powerful "Tornado Three Musketeers" back then. Because Anjie and Taylor were too busy, the three of them didn't have much time to contact each other. However, the short text messages and greetings and chats between the three never interrupted.
This is the last regular season game of the Tornados this season. After this game, the Tornados will show themselves on the stage of March Crazy again. Morris is naturally very excited, and this emotion can only be shared with his closest friends. Angel and Mike Taylor are the two closest friends Morris has.
Time really passes quickly. A few years ago, Anjie was still fighting for the qualification for March Crazy. After just over 36o days, Anjie has become a professional player and has played against the stars who can only be seen on TV. He has participated in the highly anticipated nBa All-Star weekend, and his goal has also changed from March Crazy to the nBa playoffs.
An Jie was sitting in the team bus at this moment, carrying a broken lineup back to back to the Oracle Arena. He had to face the group of warriors who were like blood. This game was exhausting just thinking about it.
"Come on, Xiaojie."
"Be careful not to get hurt."
"If you are too tired, tell the coach, don't over-drain your body."
Except for Morris, Angel always receives a lot of text messages before every game, Katherine, Divac, parents, Meslav... No matter who it is, Angel remembers their blessings in his heart.
"Hey, yes, the game is coming soon. Believe me, I will show my best performance." Westbrook was on the phone with his family before the game as usual. Yishi was so normal. Except for Marik Rose and Sabo Seifrosa, who had just joined the team before the trade deadline, everything was no different from usual. But Anjie felt the special feeling of a war coming.
The Suns' recovery is very rapid, and the Jazz will not fall behind easily under the leadership of old coach Jerry Sloan. If you want to squeeze into the playoffs, it is indeed a big battle for the Thunder. Especially after losing to their direct competitor Suns in the last game, the situation faced by the Thunder is even more steep.
"Although they are not a strong team against both sides, they always spark whenever they meet. The Warriors played against the powerful Los Angeles Lakers in the last second. I believe they have no reason to relax in the face of the Thunder!" Mike Brynn explained the Thunder again. He just wanted to see with his own eyes how those young people would get out of the predicament, or be directly blocked by difficulties.
"It's a shame to go on a game! What's the defense? What's the thing we practice the most??" Jeff Van Gundy recalled the players who were still warming up early. In the locker room, he loudly questioned his men.
"It's defense, coach." Durant replied in a low voice. In the last game, the Thunder were completely brought to the rhythm of the Suns' crazy attack. Playing against the Suns, the score of yi4o to yi22 is the result.
"Defense! Our position! Our assisted defense! Our enthusiasm! You all lost it for me!" Van Gundy rarely became popular, but the lineup was incomplete, which could not be used as an excuse for the team to get messed up. Looking at the Thunder boys who were sleepwalking in the last game, Van Gundy also felt a little disappointed.
"No matter how those guys at Oracle Stadium play, I want you to keep your defense firm! They want to defeat us again and again with their sudden madness, and tell them that it is impossible!"
Below was silent, and everyone was scolded by Van Gundy so much that everyone fell into reflection.
"It's another defeat, and this is our home court. There is no reason to let this pseudo-strong team play wild in Oakland!" On the side of the Warriors, although Coach Don Nelson didn't say anything, the team leader Stephen Jackson would not miss this opportunity to fan the flames.
Since Jackson played for the Pacers, he has been named "bad boy". The reason why the Warriors are fearless and dare to challenge opponents who are much stronger than themselves is that the banditry brought by Jackson can be said to be the main reason. Under his leadership, these guys of the Warriors often play, and even the three Celtics have suffered defeats on them.
After all, Stephen Jackson is the one who led the Warriors to complete the Black Eight Miracle. Although he is restless, he is very professional. Victory is Stephen Jackson's only goal in playing games.
"Monta, don't be afraid later, take more action. Let the Suns get yi4o points, the Thunder's defense is not worth mentioning at all!" Stephen Jackson patted Monta Alice on the shoulder. This little defender just returned from injury this season. He is Jackson's most trusted teammate, because it was him who assisted Jackson and Byron Davis to complete the Black Eight Miracle.
"Don't worry that I will not dare to attack, just be afraid that you will not want to share the ball rights." Monta Alice is not a good person, and his unrestrained style of playing is often criticized by people. But there is something that no one dares to deny, but this guy is really strong in scoring ability.
"Hahaha, I'm relieved! Let's do a big fight! Hurry up the group of rookies who grew up in the greenhouse!"
"Roar!" Everyone followed Stephen Jackson and shouted. In the locker room at Oracle Stadium, Jackson was more like the head coach who controlled the whole situation.
"The Thunder cannot give up the chance to win easily now. Compared with opponents such as the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors are undoubtedly their chance to win! Van Gundy and the Third Young Master of the Thunder can no longer let the opportunity slip away, if they still want to enter the playoffs!"
Just as the commentators from various TV stations were still analyzing the situation, the stage of introducing players was already coming to the scene.
Although the Warriors' poor performance this season can be said to have nothing to do with the playoffs. But this group of players who never give in are deeply loved by fans. Therefore, when the live broadcaster shouted the names of the Warriors players, the call from Oracle Stadium was no less than that of Staples Center and other places.
After Stephen Jackson appeared, he pointed at the Third Young Master of Thunder and then made a neck wiping action. There is no doubt that the Warriors' blood was shot in by this guy.
An Jie didn't respond so arrogantly, but he clenched his fists. Isn't it just defense, that's exactly the rhythm he likes!
