"Cameron, can you explain why your shooting percentage suddenly became so low in the second half of the game!?"

"Russell, what do you think about Cameron Anthony's ups and downs in its condition!?"

"Coach Billy Donovan, how do you solve the problem of Westbrook and Cameron Anthony in the distribution of ball rights!?"

At the press conference after the game, the Thunder, which played away and lost the game, was unexpectedly popular with reporters.

Of course, the reporters came to interview the Thunder not because of how good they performed, but because they just lost an important game with a huge 18-point difference. Anthony, who is closely related to the loss of this game, is still one of the core of the Thunder.

You know, this duel was already hyped by the media before it started. The popularity of the Thunder and the Trail Blazers even far surpassed the Spurs and Warriors on the other side.

Losing under high-profile circumstances, the Thunder were besieged by reporters became a foregone conclusion.

"There is no problem between Cameron and Russell. Their shooting distribution is very even. After all, we have played like this for a season. Today, we can only say that our defense is not good enough. It doesn't matter who shoots." Donovan was actually a little dissatisfied with Anthony's performance in the second half. In the second half, this All-Star small forward wasted too many opportunities. Even if he only seized half of those opportunities, the Thunder would not be in trouble.

But no matter how dissatisfied, Donovan will definitely not express his dissatisfaction at this critical moment. And he also believes that Anthony will not play in every game. Similarly, Anger and George on the Trail Blazers will not play so well in every game.

"Coach Ricard, how do you think of Ann's five blocks in this game!" Like the Thunder, the media reception room on the Trail Blazers was also crowded with people. But unlike the Thunder, the reporters asked Ricard's questions, which made the guy laugh from ear to ear.

"How do you view it? When you see Westbrook, Cameron, Anthony and others can only use crazy shooting to fill the gap on the outside, you will know how I view it. An completely blocked our penalty area, causing the Thunder's offense to stagnate for a while. Five blocks? If there weren't a few good chances and were swearing into fouls, An would have more than five blocks!" Ricard was very proud of Anger's defense.

Angela Morris' combination is indeed very powerful, so powerful that even a team like the Thunder with strong offensive firepower is helpless.

"Coach, how much impact do you think Damien's absence has had on the team?" Another reporter with silk glasses stood up and raised his hand to ask. Ricard obviously looked at the guy with a very different look.

Although this problem is common, it is actually digging a hole for Ricard! If Ricard said something to Lillard, the next day, the media would definitely turn the news title into "The coach is dissatisfied with Napier's performance and said he was disappointed!"

Ricard smiled lightly and pointed it at the microphone. "Losing Damien is a loss to the entire series, because he was injured by a malicious foul, and the series was less exciting. Fortunately, we still have Napier. His excellent performance ensured the victory of the game and also made the fans proud to continue to see high-level games. Okay, the next question!"

Ricard's answer was perfect, and this young reporter was still too young. If he wanted to make a cliché from the old fox, he had to be more cunning.

After the press conference, except for the reporters, there were only a few players participating in the press conference.

Coincidentally, on the way back to the locker room, Angel met Westbrook and Anthony, who had just attended the press conference.

Anthony glanced at Anger and left on his own. However, Westbrook could not pretend to not see him like Anthony.

"Hey, congratulations, man, you guys are playing well." Westbrook forced a smile and fisted Anger.

"Okay Russell, you don't have to congratulate me. I know, you must be very upset now. Who will be happy if you lose the game?" Angel did not smile and said thank you, but encouraged Westbrook to release his true thoughts in his heart.

"Huh, man, you still know me. That's right, I'm in a bad mood now. Brother. 18 points are apart. Are you fucking serious? Why are you a person who is so cruel to start with you!?"

"Hahaha, that's right, this is my brother! Hey, we have agreed before the game, don't be ruthless! Look, I did what I said." An Jie smiled proudly.

"Wait, An, you won't keep winning like this. Have a good rest, our business is not over yet." Westbrook said, walking past Anger. Anger turned around and looked at the back of the O-skirt. As an opponent, this guy is very difficult. Don't think that an 18-point victory will not stop Westbrook. As long as he is not eliminated, Westbrook will never know what giving up means.

Maybe this victory will make the subsequent game simpler, but maybe this game will make every game more difficult? The playoffs are a cruel game where you will never know the result if you don’t win the fourth game.

The night after the loss, when the whole team returned to the hotel to rest, Westbrook and Anthony were still leaning blankly against the technical stand of the Moda Center.

"Do you know why I chose to leave the Nuggets to go to the East?" Russell." Looking at the seats around, Anthony suddenly asked Westbrook this question.

"Why? Because New York is a big city?"

"No, because of the 2o1o playoffs, we were ambitious and defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder!" Anthony suddenly raised his head. Back then, Russell was his opponent.

"I remember! The Thunder and the Nuggets fought six games before they finally decided to win. That series was indeed difficult, but you also brought us a lot of trouble." Westbrook also recalled that year. Unfortunately, after passing the Nuggets level, the Thunder were won by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round.

At that time, Kobe was still the most powerful alliance ruler. But now, it is the second year after Kobe retired.

"To be honest, Russell, the one who left the deepest impression on me in the playoffs that year was not you, nor Kevin, but Ann! Although Ann was just the third scoring point of the Thunder at that time, he was just doing some support and defense work. But when I lost the game, I told myself to leave the West quickly, Cameron. With this big man in the West, it was difficult for the West to rush out. So in the middle of the second season, I insisted on going to the New York Knicks to work with another big man with awesome talent and irreconcilable with Ann. Later, it turned out that my decision was correct. Ann ruled the entire West and even the entire league. We could only be covered by his light." Annony looked up at the ceiling of Moda Center, with all his thoughts.

"Then why are you back?" Russell asked quippedly.

"Because I was thinking at the time, why can't we rule the league? So, I came to Oklahoma!"

It was obvious that Anthony's answer touched Westbrook. A competitive guy like Westbrook could not have no feelings for such words.

"I did not perform well in the second half of today. I promise I won't be so impatient in the next game." Anthony knew that from the coach to his teammates, they were all caring for themselves, so he didn't say it. In fact, he knew very well that his poor performance in the second half of the game was the main reason for the team's big defeat.

"I'm so happy to work with you, Cameron." Westbrook climbed onto the technical table. Sooner or later, he will climb here and become a winner!

"Want to see the scenery above?" Westbrook stretched out a hand at Anthony!

"The day after tomorrow, we have to do a big fight here!" Anthony said, holding Westbrook's hand and climbing to the technical stand.

The vision of the winner is so good...
