Vol 3 Chapter 52: End of month

The victory was easy, and the Thunder were very happy. Westbrook's face burst into laughter at the press conference!
He praised his teammates without hesitation.
As the leader of a team, you must have this attitude that "wins are all your teammates play well, and losses are your own problems." In his words, the emotion of joy was as strong as water, and it was about to flow out.
After the game, the Thunder can finally rest for a day. After dealing with a group of reporters, Anlo left the Chesapeake Energy Arena in his own "Bumblebee". The others did not stay longer and went home. Four games in five days, even these professional players are exhausted. Fortunately, the team continues to win, and everyone is in a good mood.
In a good mood, sleep soundly!
After An Luo went home, he slept comfortably. I didn't get up until noon the next day! He was still a little surprised, after all, he hadn't slept like this for a long time. After getting up, An Luo began training. This is his homework that he will not miss every day.
In fact, for every professional player, daily training must be maintained. Proper training is necessary to maintain one's physical condition and improve technique. In the NBA, there is never a shortage of talented people, but those who can play well are never those who rely solely on talent to play.
An Luo can be lazy. But he has always had a sense of anxiety. He was afraid that that day, his current abilities that relied on the bracelet would be useless. Just like the original rookie wall, the feeling of helplessness, he didn't want to experience it again! So he has been training.
Physical fitness, strength, ball control, running, three-pointers, free throws...
These basic skills are the content of his training. Although the effect is not obvious, for An Luo, it makes him feel at ease. Moreover, what he did was not completely useless. Over time, his various abilities will certainly improve. Training is very boring. But only those who can endure loneliness will achieve something.
After completing all the training sessions, An Luo began to eat. For this, An Luo is not so harsh on himself. Of course, I am not as strict with myself as James, but he did not say to eat everything. Sugars and fried foods are not eaten by Anluo. Pork is now eaten less! If I really want to eat it, I will do something by myself and make something for the sacred ritual! An Luo, who grew up with Daddy An, still has some skills.
In the days without games, An Luo was actually quite boring! When I was in the past, I still had to go to class, and from time to time I would accompany Tang Xiaoru to the streets and alleys of Los Angeles.
Now he is the only one.
Bill Duffy came to his house often, but most of the time, An Luo didn't like to hear what he said. Regarding endorsements and investment, he does not understand and does not want to understand.
An Luo felt that the money he had received from Thunder was enough to spend on himself! He made a conservative estimate. If he could play for 15 years, he would not be able to use up his wages in his entire life!
Fu Yao is also busy! Her own affairs, as well as the things An Luo didn't want to deal with, had to be solved by her. Being a parent is the child's support at all times.
In November, the Thunder's last game was played on the 29th. The opponent is the Eastern Conference team, the New York Knicks.
This is not a strong team. Although they have many very good players, they are not a strong team.
The Knicks have not made the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. The team's wins in the three seasons were 37, 17 and 32 wins. This is not deliberately showing bad, it is also their most embarrassing place. Unlike the 76ers, Lakers and other teams, they obviously work very hard every season, but the final record is still terrible.
Their efforts can be fully reflected in the data. Last season, the Knicks lost 107.6 points per 100 possessions, ranking 18th in the league. But with the 26th tempo in the league, they can control the average of 101.1 points per game, ranking 10th in the league. Judging by their poor record, it is indeed not easy to have a statistic to make it into the league's top ten.
Although they did a good job defensively. But the team's offense is too bad. The team only scored 104.6 points per 100 possessions last season, ranking 24th in the league. You know, they have Anthony, the top scorer in the league.
The Knicks' style of play is very old. The entire league is playing fast, using three points, and the Knicks are still sticking to the inside and playing low singles. They rank 23rd in the league in three-point attempts, 24th in field goal attempts and 20th in field goal percentage. In addition, this team is still obsessed with singles ~ EbookFREE.me ~ their assists rank 26th in the league.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the "triangle tactic" that the team president Phil Jackson has always insisted on. Many people think that without Jordan and Kobe, the triangle strategy is a joke. Of course this is a bit extreme. However, it turns out that the Knicks team is really not suitable for triangle tactics.
So this season, they changed their head coach. Hornacek, the player from the Jazz, is a master of pick-and-roll and fast basketball. In the new season, he did not completely give up the triangle tactics, but absorbed some useful things for the team. So far, the effect of such changes is still very good.
After some changes, the Knicks have no small ambitions, and as the team's number one star, Anthony naturally hopes to go further. He hopes to unite his teammates well and call on them to work together to improve the team's record and competitiveness.
"Our goal in the new season is to enter the playoffs and strive for a better ranking." Anthony said, "I hope to lead them to improve the competitiveness of the team. This is very important because we are a team, only a team The result of working hard together is the best." For the Thunder, this game is another one that must be won. They are constantly working hard to shorten the gap with the Clippers. In addition, Derek Rose of the Knicks has a connection with Westbrook.
When he was there, Rose officially eliminated the Westbrook team and shattered their hope of winning the twelfth championship in team history. So whenever I met Rose, Westbrook was very positive. He always felt that he wanted to find all the things he lost when he was young. Even if Ross is now, it is no longer comparable to Westbrook.
