Chapter 82: Advice
The place Anjie is most reluctant to go to now is the team training ground located in the Chesapeake Energy Stadium. As soon as he stepped into this stadium, a strong sense of depression came to his face. This feeling filled the air of the entire training ground and could not be removed.
Angel was the third one to arrive. Durant and Westbrook were already warming up on the shooting in the training ground. Durant is indeed quieter off the court, but Westbrook, who is usually laughing and laughing, has less smiles and words during this period.
The O8o9 season has been almost a month since it started, but the Thunder have only won a decent victory in this month. For the three young men who were originally full of longing for the new season, this blow is indeed a bit big.
Yi2 lost and won. The latest strength rankings are both the Thunder and the Lakers, but the Thunder are just the bottom. Faced with such a result, how can the three competitive young people laugh?
However, even if the team's performance is poor, Durant and Westbrook still have the chance to play. And Anjie has not played for 3 minutes in nine consecutive games. Not only the team can't play, but Anjie now feels that he seems to be about to play.
The three young people practiced their own practices in the training ground, and no one paid attention to each other. It was not that there was a conflict between them, but that they were really not in the mood to say hello now.
Just when the three of them were thinking about each other on the training ground, the culprit that caused the team to collapse completely was p.J. Caresimo came in.
All three turned their heads to look at their head coach and did not say hello to him. Calesimo hurriedly walked into his office, looking very worried.
After closing the door of his office, Caresimo collapsed into a chair. The day finally came.
A few hours ago, Presti had called Caresimo to give an ultimatum. If the Thunder loses again and suffers a ten-game losing streak, Presti will have to fire Caresimo as the head coach.
If Presti hadn't been fired because everyone came out of the Spurs. The general manager gave Calesimo a chance again and again, but Calesimo also challenged Presti's bottom line with his failures again and again.
The Thunder is indeed not a strong team, but at least Calessimo has to give people some hope. At least he has to let the Thunder play something. Unfortunately, under Calessimo's coaching, the Thunder, whose potential is already full of potential, has a bleak future.
Calesimo Yi has always used the excuse of the Thunder's lineup as a waste of time to cover up his lack of coaching ability. However, at this point, Calesimo's shield has completely lost its effect.
Tomorrow, on 21, 2018, the Thunder will face the Hornets and Calesimo's job led by Chris Paul at home. It depends on this game.
Thinking of this, Calesimo suddenly rushed out of the basketball court. He wanted to urge the group of guys to train throughout the process, otherwise he would be really disappointed after tomorrow's game.
"Anjie! What's wrong with you? You can't even cover such a ball!?"
"Russell! You should score this goal!"
"Mason! If you can't do it, I'll keep the water dispenser honestly tomorrow!"
Calesimo shouted at the side of the training ground in an unprecedented way, but this did not increase the players' enthusiasm, but instead only increased the players' disgust with him. Sadly, Calesimo, he has not learned how to get along with his players until now. Even the relationship between the coach and the players is not harmonious, so how can the team achieve results?
The sudden increase in training intensity did not have any effect except for the players wasting their physical strength. Even Presti, who was sitting in the office, knew this. However, Calesimo had already lost his mind in order to save his job.
After the training, An Jie went home directly. He had given up training for weeks. Anyway, no matter how hard he trained, he could only sit on the bench and serve as a spectator. His efforts were not recognized, which is the easiest factor that makes people give up.
As soon as he entered the house and lay on the sand, Anjie's cell phone rang. In order to avoid disturbing Anjie's training, the family members and Catherine would not call on their own initiative, and they would wait for Anjie to call them after they were free.
"Catherine is worried about me again, right?" An Jie thought, and took out the phone. However, the name of the caller ID on the phone screen surprised An Jie.
"Is it you guy?" An Jie asked cautiously.
"Who is your fucking friend, you coward?" Morris's curse came from the other end of the phone.
Angel was speechless, he didn't know why Morris suddenly called to scold him.
"Why, after becoming a star, your life of luxury has caused you to fall into?" This is the case between Morris and Angel, completely unrestrained.
"You can see your performance in these games by yourself. It's not a few games. I've played nine games in a row. What have you done on the court? I said, if you embarrass the Tornado team, I wouldn't fucking admit that you have you as a teammate." An Jie understood the intention of Morris calling, but An Jie has heard enough of this conversation in the past few days, and he is already immune.
"Can you blame me? It's all because the head coach didn't give me a chance." An Jie responded indifferently.
"Oh! Listen! This sissy has started to make excuses for yourself! Who do you think you are? You are just a 12th pick rookie, a rookie who was abandoned by the team just after Yi was selected. Why should the head coach give you a chance? Do you think you are LeBron or Cameron?" Morris' words became heavier. Even if Anger admitted that Morris and he was good brothers, Anger was a little angry when he spoke like this.
"What's wrong with you?" Anjie suppressed the anger in his heart, and he tried hard to convince himself that Morris had no malice.
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that you keep making excuses for yourself because you're so called like this. I really look down on you." After that, Morris hung up the phone. Morris on the other end of the phone suddenly regretted it. Is it a bit too much for him to do this? I hope that kid can wake up.
Anjie listened to the phone call that had already appeared for a long time. Every word Morris said just now hurt his heart.
Morris, his best friend in the Tornado team, now he actually said that. Speaking of Morris, how has the Tornado team played in the recent game? Anyway, Anjie turned on the computer and entered the official NCAA
Clicking on the basketball section of the ncaa sports league, Anjie skillfully opened the Big 12 record list. The Tornado team's performance is much better than the Thunder, and they are currently ranked third in the Big 12 league.
Anjie clicked on the highlights of the recent yi game, which was last Sunday's Tornados against the Missouri Tigers.
In the first thirty seconds, Anjie was very passionate. Anthony Ben's dunk and Cruze's three-pointer made him feel like he had returned to the good times in the past. However, when he was watching him at the thirty-two seconds, Anjie suddenly widened his eyes!
On the screen, a black man wearing the No. 32 jersey of the Tornado team fiercely covered the layup of the Missouri Tigers small forward. Anjie was so familiar with this jersey. For a while, Anjie wore it in every game, even when he participated in the nBa team trial a few months ago.
The person on the screen is nothing but Andrew Morris!
"Morris...he returns!?" Anjie turned off the video in disbelief and directly found out the data of all the games of the Tornado team this season. Sure enough, Morris played every game. Although he didn't play much time, Morris' performance was much better than Anjie.
At this time, Angel understood the intention of Morris saying those ugly words just now. Morris was fighting with Angel and Taylor as his goal. Now seeing Angel so despair, Morris had to remind his good brothers in his own way.
What Morris experienced was much more painful than Anjie's experience. The Achilles tendon ruptured and he had been on the verge for almost 1 year. Compared with Morris, Anjie's setbacks were not considered setbacks at all!
At this time, An Jie realized how weak he had become. He just didn't get enough playing time, and An Jie began to give up on himself. However, he didn't know that Morris, who was more tortured than he was, is now working hard for his future. When he thought of this, An Jie felt ashamed!
"Hmph, damn Damanniu, I won't lose to you this time!" An Jie suddenly felt excited, and those depressing feelings were instantly swept away. Now he only longed to fight and wanted to do his best on the court!
Tomorrow's game will be a game that determines the fate of many people! Whether Kalesimo can stay in the team and whether Anjie's strong return will be successful, these will be announced in tomorrow's game!
