"Hey, Katherine."

Katherine has left the United States now and she cares about Anjie's career, but she didn't watch the series between the Lakers and the Thunder. It's not for other reasons, but just because her job is too busy. Just like Anjie now, what kind of thing does she have to care about the fashion circle?

The fact that Angel beat Brown not only made Angel popular, but also made Katherine's popularity quickly. Although it was not a good incident, the result was very good.

With his first amazing appearance and under the influence of news operations, Catherine's position in Img has rapidly improved. Now, Catherine has gone to Milan with the company, a famous Italian cultural city and a global fashion center. Here, a medium-sized fashion show will be held soon, and this is also the first step for Img to push Catherine to the world.

Catherine was very lucky. The company agreed to her request to take her father to travel with her. Now Catherine is his father only his relatives. It’s just a pity that another man in her life cannot walk with her. Catherine really wants to appreciate the scenery of Milan with Angel.

In Italy, in addition to fashion, another biggest theme is football. Especially in the city of Milan, you can always see fans wearing AC Milan or Inter Milan jerseys on the streets. But there are also many outliers among them. Although there are few people who like basketball, there are still some.

Katherine could only watch Angel on TV occasionally in her free time. Usually, she had to continue working after watching for only a few minutes. So when she received Angel's call today, Katherine was very surprised.

Angel said that during the playoffs, he hoped that he could concentrate on preparing for the game. He did do so. Since playing with the Lakers, he has hardly spoken to his teammates and people other than his coaches, even his parents, Divac and Ricard are no exception.

"An!? What's wrong with you?" Catherine rarely heard Anjie be so listless.

"Not much? Haha, haven't called for several days, are you not used to it?" Anjie laughed. Giardina was indeed beautiful and enthusiastic enough, but Anjie found that he could only find that feeling in Catherine.

"It's already midnight in the United States now? Why are you not sleeping yet? Why are you not playing well in the game? I read from the news that you already got the match point yesterday?" Catherine looked at her watch. Milan City has just been illuminated by the sun, which also means that it is early morning in the United States.

"I can't sleep, I feel...I feel that my psychological pressure is so great. I'm very tired. Catherine, this series is too hard." The tough guy, butcher, never give up. This is the impression Anjie gave to the outside world. But this guy who is only 20 years old also has a weak face. Perhaps only Catherine can know what the real Anjie looks like.

When playing against the Nuggets, the two sides also fought for a full six games before they decided to win. But at that time, Anjie didn't feel particularly tired. Because the Nuggets were not the Lakers, Kobe Bryant's name would not surround you, and when you close your eyes, the face of the champion's double towers would not appear in front of you.

Anthony is very good, but he is not like Kobe, which will make the Thunder nervous. Even if the Lakers are 20 points behind, as long as Kobe is present, Anjie will be nervous.

Brazilians and Kenyon Martin also brought trouble to Anjie, but once Anjie defeated them, they were no longer threatening. But the Lakers' Twin Towers that Anjie imagined were not like this. Anjie defeated them a hundred times, and they would stand up again a hundred times.

Especially Bynum, this guy may have a bad temper, a bad character, and a low basketball IQ. But to be honest, his spirit of losing repeatedly but willing to fight again and again really made An Jie very impressed.

When Yi thought of this, An Jie felt that his head was too long. It seemed that this series was too long...

"There is a lot of psychological pressure...but this is the playoffs, An. People say that the playoffs are cruel, not just because of the game itself. If you are really tired, you can tell the coach that he will give you a rest and he will understand you." Catherine became anxious. It has been almost three years since she played NCAA. An Jie has never said that she is under great pressure. Now An Jie will say this, and she must feel really uncomfortable.

"Ha, thank you Catherine." Now, people will say that the Thunder has already won the match point, so we have to cheer up. The Thunder has only one game to advance, so we have to cheer up. But Catherine is the only one who reminds Angel to take a break.

"I believe you are safe. If you want to get honor, you must undergo training. If you stick to the formation, you will pass for a while."

After talking to Catherine on the phone, Angel felt much more relieved. It was not that Catherine taught him what to do, but that after sharing the blockage in his heart, the pressure would naturally be much less.

However, An Jie can relieve stress for himself, so no one else in the Thunder team will definitely find a way. There are more than An Jie who feels stressed and physically exhausted. You know, most of his teammates are rookies who have just entered the league.

During the training the next day, the players were still working hard. They carefully completed every task and every training scheduled by Van Gundy. But Van Gundy could also see that the pace of these young men was very heavy.

The active atmosphere during training is gone. Now everyone is thinking about how to defeat the Lakers and how to defeat Kobe. As for the others, they have no intention to think about it. The more this happens, the more pressure the players are, the more they hope to find a way to win, such a vicious cycle.

Everyone's emotions can affect the people around him. Now, except for Van Gundy and Anjie, everyone else is in a heavy heart. Anjie is an excellent center, and Van Gundy is an excellent coach, but they are not excellent psychological counselors. Anjie did try to relieve stress from his teammates in the locker room, but they all ended in failure.

Just yesterday, the three Celtics defeated the Cavaliers who had the Little Emperor and the Sharks, and eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4-2. What does this mean? This means that the entire second round, only the Lakers and the Thunder have not yet decided on their victory or defeat.

Now, fans all over the world only have this NBa game to watch. Thunder fans all over the world hope that the Thunder, who gets the match point, can break through the siege. These expectations are heavily pressed on these guys who have just been in the early 20s. Is the Lakers not under pressure? As the defending champions, they are under greater pressure! But don’t forget that they were champions, and they have experienced these moments long ago and have been used to it. But for everyone in the Thunder, every step is the first time. Every time, they will be at a loss.

The Thunder are working very hard, and they will not give up. But everyone has a heavy psychological burden in their hearts. The Thunder ushered in the sixth showdown with the Lakers at home in this heavy atmosphere.

"We must win!"

"We have won the match point and we will advance!"

"The Thunder are definitely the winners. We hold the match points, we play at home, and we have the advantage of everything!"

In the locker room before the game, the Thunder players were speechless. They were nervous. They were afraid that if they couldn't win and could not advance, they would disappoint many people. The outside world seemed to have decided that the Thunder would be the winner, but the Lakers did not think so. The Thunder players knew this, they were afraid that they would not be able to fulfill the imagination of the outside world.

For young people, this is a very normal psychological problem. But in the cruel playoffs, a little bit of psychological burden will affect your swing.

When the game started, people felt that the game was a bit weird. The Thunder team was still the same Thunder team, and their performance was normal, but they just felt that it was weird and they couldn't tell what was the weird one.

"The Thunder are playing too cautiously! They can't let go and dare not do anything! Westbrook's ball can actually be shot just now, but he is afraid that he will waste opportunities, and the opportunity will pass by him like this." It was not until Kenny Smith made an analysis that the fans found out where the Thunder was strange.

Yes, this young team is no longer frivolous, no longer bold, and no longer plays vigorously.

"This battle of Kings Mountain is really important to the Thunders. You must know that this is the only home court for the Thunders. If they cannot win the Lakers to advance today, it will be more difficult to advance in the next game! But because this game is too important, the Thunders players can't let go. Being cautious is a good thing, but everything must be done. After being too cautious, the Thunders will not play well and cannot exert many advantages." Reggie Miller was anxious to see that the Lakers are in a very good state today. As long as the Thunders swings a little better than usual, they are likely to win the game and advance to the Western Conference Finals. But it is precisely because of their excessive caution that they cannot get the initiative in the game.

The Thunder are always only 5 to 8 points behind the Lakers, and it can be said that the score difference is not big. However, these young men who are good at chasing points have been unable to fill in this subtle gap. Although the Thunder is home, the rhythm of the entire game is under the control of the Lakers.

The Thunder fans yelled until their voices were hoarse until they couldn't yell. But even so, they still couldn't help the young people on the field unblocked.

Anjie is the most sober among them. He successfully assisted his teammates in scoring with a few extremely high viewing passes. But Anjie is not Kobe, he can only temporarily improve the morale of his teammates, rather than keeping his teammates' morale like Kobe.

Finally, Kobe passed Seversa and broke into the inside. Artest felt good today. He made three-pointers three times in the previous game. It was precisely because of this reason that Durant hesitated when facing a key decision.

If this were the case in the past, Durant would definitely move across without hesitation to stop Kobe. But today, he was afraid that Artest would get the ball and hit a three-pointer after he made up for defense. He was afraid that Kobe would get a free throw opportunity after he made up for defense. He was afraid that Kobe would get a free throw. He was afraid of various situations. In the end, he chose the most conservative plan he thought was and continued to defend Artest!

It was precisely because of KD's hesitation and excessive caution that Kobe easily made a jump shot in the three-second zone. Anjie's defense was very fast, and his fingers almost hit the basketball, but he was still so short of it.

After the goal was entered, the Lakers pulled the score difference to 5 points again, but the time left for the Thunder was only 8 seconds...

After that, the Thunder, which dared to fight and fought, was still not resurrected, and excessive caution at critical moments was even more terrible. Durant arranged the ball according to the tactics but did not dare to take action without completely getting rid of the defense. The result was that he wasted too much time, which eventually led to the Thunder being unable to turn the situation around.

yio8 is yio3. Under the gaze of everyone, the Thunder team lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain and lost the advantage of holding the match point.

After the game, Kobe flew hard to the audience at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. You all hope to see us being eliminated here. Sorry, your hopes have failed!
Chapter completed!
