Vol 3 Chapter 35: I believe I can


  
 
 
  -> ->   At the end of the game, Westbrook took the initiative to hug Ibaka.
  He is a man of grievances! Some people left, but still brothers; some people left, but they can only face each other coldly!
   This game is completely a duel between Westbrook and Ibaka. The others are foils.
   Westbrook played 38 minutes, 14 of 21 shots, 41 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists!
   Ibaka played 37 minutes, 16 of 22 shots, 37 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks! Plus a lore ball.
   An Luo's offensive end is still sluggish. But he succeeded in stifling Fournier's performance. The latter made 5 of 14 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 15 points and 5 assists. There were 5 turnovers at the same time.
   Two games, An Luo has completed 5 steals. It's half the difference from 10! Almost 500 three-pointers have been taken. Victory is ahead!
   However, the situation is getting worse and worse. After losing the game, the Thunder have lost three straight. And the next game, it is estimated that there will be more fortunes. Donovan and Westbrook are also under increasing pressure. Questions from the outside world as well as calls for trades and coaching changes made the Thunder public panic.
   But An Luo can only shut himself in the training ground. Now he can do nothing except to shoot three-pointers outside the game and defend hard in the game.
  Some people are worried. Dolovan even arranged a special shooting coach to accompany An Luo in training, hoping to take this opportunity to figure out the reason why An Luo missed the three-pointer. As a result, the trainers sent there began to doubt their professional standards.
   An Luo's shooting posture is very standard, and the rhythm is also very good. But I just can't invest!
   In the game with the Pistons, An Luo still barely completed his task. In addition to contributing two steals on the defensive end, other aspects are still sluggish. However, An Luo's playing time is almost falling to single digits!
   This is a very dangerous signal.
   An Luo's situation also reflects the current situation of Thunder.
   The Thunder players dragging their tired bodies can't find their status at all in Motor City. Even if the "Shen" Andre Drummond was absent, they still lost the game cleanly.
   Westbrook became the only fig leaf in Oklahoma.
   In this game, Westbrook played well. 11 of 21 shots, 33 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists. But his teammates failed to give him much help, and the other four starters added up to only 19 points.
   Four consecutive defeats pushed Thunder to the cusp of the storm.
   The doubts and criticisms that had previously been submerged in the thunder's seven-game winning streak broke out in an instant.
   Westbrook’s ability to lead the team has been doubted by people. Combined with his gorgeous data, it has finally become a "brush" in people's mouth. And these people have forgotten, the last person they became a "brush" was called Kobe! His experience is almost exactly the same as that of Westbrook now.
   However, losing all the time still has a big impact on the Thunder players. Everyone is not in a high mood, and the atmosphere in the dressing room is very dull. Although Westbrook has done everything a boss can do: desperately use various methods to help the team win on the field, take the initiative to take responsibility off the field, comfort and encourage teammates, and practice with teammates...
   Thunder urgently needs a victory to dissipate the haze that has shrouded everyone during this period of time.
   Back in Oklahoma City, the Thunder will face Houston's challenge.
   "Second brother" is in trouble, how can "third brother" stand by? At the critical moment, you have to rely on yourself! No, Harden immediately stood up and gave a big gift. The brotherhood is deep, it can be seen!
   In this battle, the Houstonians suddenly crashed in the fourth quarter. In the 6 minutes before the end of the game, they lost a point and lost their lead. Although Gordon made a three-pointer at the buzzer at the last moment, it was too late and he could only give up victory!
   After winning the game, the Thunder's record became 8 wins and 4 losses, which is barely stabilizing the situation.
   But An Luo's situation is very bad!
   In this game, he only appeared for 5 minutes in the second quarter, and was never sent by Donovan.
   3 shots and 3 irons from outside, only one steal was accounted for in the whole game, which is really horrible. It is conceivable that he will be criticized by those media reporters and commentators for their sharp words.
   But An Luo doesn't care. After the game, he went back to the locker room without saying a word, and then left the Chesapeake Energy Arena alone. There is something in his heart that is not very happy, and he really doesn't want to face the questions of those twittering reporters. Another reason is that he wants to seize every minute and every second to complete the task of breaking the "rookie wall". He really couldn't stand the current downturn.
   As soon as I got home, Westbrook called.
   "Man, where are you?"
   I could hear that he was a little eager.
   "I just got home, Russell. Is there anything you want?"
   An Luo probably knows why the other party made this call. After all, after getting along for a while, he could feel the care of this guy. Of course, he cares for every Thunder player and is a good boss.
   "Then wait, I'll come and find you."
   Soon, Westbrook came over. He knows that An Luo lives here. Not long ago, An Luo invited his family to dinner. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is an alumnus after all, and Westbrook’s wife Nina is also from, and is now a teammate, so she should be closer.
   "Hey, man! What are you doing here alone?"
   Not only Westbrook came, Adams also drove his new car to Anlow's house.
   Adams is definitely the person with the most inconsistent looks and personality. Although he has grown his long hair and beard in the past two years, he looks a bit fierce, but he is actually a very gentle person and very enthusiastic. Recently, there has been more encouragement and concern for An Luo than Westbrook.
   "Hi, Russell!" Anlow and Westbrook gave a hug, then gave Adams another hug: "Steven, you are welcome to my house."
   "Are you training here?" Westbrook looked at An Luo's small court, then shook his head and said, "Ann, why aren't you training in the team's training hall? It's too irregular here!"
   "It doesn't matter, I just practice shooting here!"
   Next, An Luo still did his own thing. Westbrook and Adams became caddies.
   "Ann, don't worry. Most rookies will encounter such a thing, but I believe you will find your own touch soon. The season is still long, and we have enough time to wait for you."
   Feeling An Luo's shooting speed, Westbrook said to him cautiously.
   "I know, Russell. I always believe that I can do it!"
