Vol 3 Chapter 418: The hero is late

The results of the first round of the 2019 All-Star voting will not be announced by the league until January 3. On January 25, a month later, TNT will broadcast the list of starting players. On February 1, the replacement list was announced. This is a long waiting process. But for the players like Anluo, they must also put their energy into the next game.
　　 After Christmas, An Luo rarely got a two-day break. It was announced after Donovan got off the plane that in the next two days, he would not organize everyone to participate in training, which was regarded as a compensation for the players not being able to be with their families on Christmas. Of course, including himself.
　　 The next night after returning to Oklahoma, all the Thunder's players, logistics team, coaching team, and management were all concentrated in the villa of team owner Bennett. They held a carnival here that belonged only to the Thunder themselves.
　　 wine, cigar, music, dance...
　　 Every year, Bennett holds such a gathering. He likes to summarize and enjoy victory. Since the Thunder's next two games will be away games, this year's celebration came earlier.
　　 Bennett made a review of the team's performance in the past year. He affirmed all aspects of this year, including the championship, and expressed his gratitude to the Thunder for such a championship team as an authentic Oklahoma. And, looking forward to the new year.
　　 He did not hide his desire for more championships. Of course, everyone present thinks so.
　　 Apart from participating in this carnival, An Luo has always stayed at home with Tang Xiaoru. After meeting the parents of both parties formally, the two lived together in an upright manner. Although the pressure on An Luo from the Tang family was really great, Tang Xiaoru's parents did not object to them being together. Therefore, An Luo can be regarded as a double harvest in the love career. But in half a month, Tang Xiaoru will return to Los Angeles to continue school.
　　 Apart from losing a battle, An Luo had a pretty good Christmas. But this is only a temporary relaxation. Game after game is the main theme of professional players.
　　Day, An Luo followed the team to Phoenix. After being at home for two days, An Luo felt a little vain. Gentle Township, Hero Tomb! This is really in place.
　　So that, his condition in this game is not particularly good.
　　 However, Westbrook has shown his power this evening! Paul George was injured, Anro was down again, and Westbrook could only be a father and a mother. With a group of teammates waiting to be fed, they stubbornly shot down the sun. In this game, Westbrook played 40 minutes and contributed a triple-double of assists when An Luo only contributed 18 points. In the field, the shooting percentage is over 60%! Among them, he made 5 of 8 three-pointers, which surprised everyone.
"Russell has always been an omnipotent player! As long as he wants, he can play such a game every night." In the locker room, Anlo faced reporters and praised Westbrook bitterly. Something. When asked about his downturn, he was also very calm: "We have a long season, we will play 82 regular season games, and more intense playoffs. Few people can put their best form. For the whole season. Tonight did not perform well on the offensive end, but I know that I can do something to help the team on the defensive end. So we finally won."
　　 The Suns are also uncomfortable. This is already the thunder after they have just lost twice in a row. Of course, the most uncomfortable person has to be the champion Lang Ayton. The last time the Thunder lost to the Lone Ranger, he was cleaned up and fell to the Tanghuaxiu Dongcic City; this time, his performance was very good, a bit like the league's future super insider. But the Thunder then lost to the Mavericks, and the key player is still Doncic.
　　 In the final battle of 2018, the Thunder met the Lone Ranger. Last time I lost, this time I also lost.
　　 Actually, it was a pity that the Thunder lost this game. They are leading each other most of the time. Moreover, at the most, the lead was nearly 20 points.
　　 As soon as the game started, An Luo changed from the downturn of the previous game. In his first offense, he easily relied on his running position to find a shot opportunity in the right corner. And, throw the ball in. Then, after Jordan's strong back hit Adams with a hook and iron, An Luo quickly caught the ball, grabbed the lone ranger back to the defensive base, and easily hit a chasing three-pointer outside the right three-point line. Then it was out of control! When he was replaced by Donovan in the 7th minute, he had already scored 16 points! Only 2 points less than the last game in Phoenix.
　　 But it was like taking turns to sit in the village. Westbrook, who performed well in the previous game, was suddenly possessed by Phoenix's An Luo. He missed five shots in the first quarter. If it weren't for him to control himself in the next few minutes, this number might be even bigger~EbookFREE.me~ After being beaten 10:0 by the Thunder, Doncic and Barnes stood up. The two teamed up to retaliate with a 9:0 thunder wave and stabilized the situation on the court. Afterwards, Shuangjian fell into the rhythm of "　I　Jump". Thunder hits one iron, Lone Ranger hits one iron; Thunder scores one goal, Lone Ranger scores one goal.
　　 In the first quarter of the game, the two sides finished and the Thunder led by 1 point.
　　 Whether it is An Luo who scored 16 points, Westbrook who smashed the basket, or Doncic who stood up to help the team get out of trouble, they are not the protagonists of this season. Even, they are not the protagonists of this game. When there was 1 minute and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, the whole stadium remembered the shaking cheers and applause. Because everyone saw a familiar figure appearing on the court-Dirk Nowitzki.
　　 Everyone knows that this season is Nowitzki’s last season in the Mavericks. Therefore, when he received the ball, the shout of "MVP" in the American Airlines Center Arena resounded across the sky. Everyone cherishes such a moment.
　　 Positions, catches, shots, hits!
　　 Like every night in the past, Nowitzki does what he does best. His three-pointer helped the team take the lead for the first time.
　　 Every city has a city hero. Dirk Nowitzki is the hero of Dallas. But all the players always get old. The lateness of a hero is the most helpless thing. But these veterans are always the most valuable asset of a team. Whether on the field or off the field.
