The Way of the Center

The massacre, the exhausted Bulls had no power to fight back in overtime. Two beautiful goals from Derrick Rose were all the Bulls could do in overtime.

Looking at Anjie and Westbrook who were high-fiving each other, Rose knew that his road to winning the best rookie was still very bumpy. Maybe he didn't meet any opponents in the East, but in the West, these two guys are already one goal ahead of him.

"28 points and 12 rebounds, once again scored a new high in his career, do you want to know what kind of statistics Derek Rose got?" This time the reporter sent by ESPN to interview on the spot was actually Jin Dajie Dolly Silk Burke. She can definitely be regarded as ESPN's first-line on-site reporter. Usually, she will appear in games with high gold content, especially in the playoffs and Christmas games. Her appearance here also highlights ESPN's attention to this game from another aspect.

"Derek should have gotten a double-double, anyway, his breakthrough made us suffer a lot today." Anjie was deeply impressed by Rose's abnormal breakthrough and ability to avoid blocks in the air.

"16 points and 6 assists. These are the statistics that Rose got today. In the second half, your defense contained Rose's swing very well. 4 of your 5 blocks in the entire game were blocked by Derek. Rose’s shot, you can play such a performance against the No. 1 pick, do you think it’s unfair that the NBA didn’t award you the Rookie of the Year last month?” Doris Burke was kind, but in her question Also hidden mystery.

"There is nothing unfair. Both Russell and Derek are very good players. They deserve that honor. It's just that I played better in this game, but this does not mean that they are not as good as me." An Jie answered very smoothly, boasting all about Westbrook and Rose.

"Okay, thank you An Jie, congratulations on getting the best player of the game and winning the game." This is not the first time ESPN has rated An Jie as the best player in the game, and they are really very fond of this Chinese look good.

Not only ESPN, but managers of other teams are also showing increasing interest in Anjie. Recently, there have been more and more faxes on Presti's desk, and many team managers have privately inquired about the possibility of Presti trading Anjie. But Presti's answer was very consistent, untradeable!

An Jie has only played for less than half a season, and he has already shown considerable potential. Presti's brain is not broken yet, Durant, Westbrook and Angie, these three people will be the central axis of the Thunder in the next five or even ten years, and Presti will also revolve around them in the future Three people to build a lineup. It's okay to trade, but Presti's asking price is definitely unacceptable to most teams.

After this game, Anjie has surpassed O.J. Mayo and his teammate Westbrook consecutively on the best rookie prediction list, ranking second only behind Derrick Rose. Even last year's No. 1 pick at center Greg Oden couldn't do that.

It has been a long time since an inside player has received such attention.

Through the victory of this game, the Thunder's ranking has reached tenth in the Western Conference and 14th in the league. The Thunder team, which only won a total of 20 games last year, has now become a team that has a chance to hit the playoffs. For a team that has experienced a ten-game losing streak, such a transformation is already quite amazing.

After defeating the Bulls, the Thunder made great strides all the way, winning several opponents in a row.

The Nets, Jazz, and Pistons, these three teams were all defeated by the thunderous Thunder without exception. Allen Iverson was very angry after the game. He couldn't believe that he would lose to three rookies, and it was two consecutive times!

Everyone is looking forward to the Thunder team giving everyone another five-game winning streak. On January 18, the Thunder team will go to the East, and they will challenge the Miami Heat away.

Watching An Jie scoring easily on the court time and time again, Pat Riley's expression became more and more ugly. This rookie has tried out at the American Airlines Center, and even Riley has a great chance to keep him in the American Airlines Center to assist Wade. But it's a pity that this time Anjie came back, but his identity became an enemy of the Heat.

Looking at the "No. 1 Talent in the United States" selected by himself, Pat Riley wished to turn back time. If he could make another choice, he would definitely pick Anjie with the second overall pick instead of choosing a Michael Beasley, who has been unable to find the rhythm of the game for a long time.

Dwyane Wade found that he had to do his best to score points against this rookie center. The guy who used to be so nervous that he couldn't even speak during the trial training at the American Airlines Center has now become an insider of the Thunder. One of the most cold-blooded killers, dedicated to strangling the Heat's offense.

However, the overall strength of the Heat has always been higher than that of the Thunder. Apart from "The Flash" Wade's 32 points and 10 assists, five players from the Heat scored in double figures.

On the other hand, the Thunder, they are really a team supported by rookies. Durant scored 31 points, Angie scored 22 points, and Westbrook scored 18 points. The performance of the three rookies is still eye-catching, but apart from the three of them, the Thunder has no fourth player with more than 10 points.

Mario Chalmers was selected in the second round last season. This is undoubtedly his eternal regret. But in this game, he played the level that mop should have in front of Westbrook.

Chalmers, who got the chance to play, scored 13 points. Although the score is not high, compared with Michael Beasley, who "slashed" four points with one of four shots, his performance as a second-round pick is very good. Not bad.

Pat Riley couldn't help but imagine, if the two people he chose were Chalmers and Angie, what kind of picture would it be now...

Although Pat Riley was regretting it, and although the Thunder's three young men were still strong, under the leadership of the Flash, the Heat still defeated the Thunder 104 to 94. Wade knows what happened to Iverson recently. He doesn't want to repeat the old path of the Pistons. The Flash refuses to suffer from rookies.

The dream of five consecutive victories was ruthlessly shattered by the Flash, but now no one will question the Thunder. No team can win forever. The three rookies of the Thunder have done well enough.

After losing to the Heat, the Thunder got a rare two-day respite. On the third day, they will go to Oakland to face their old enemy Golden State Warriors again.

The Warriors think they are very close to the Thunder, mainly because the Warriors played an incredible performance when the two sides met for the first time. So the confrontation between these two teams is always very exciting.

The Thunder and the Warriors did not disappoint the fans. The scores of the two sides were very high and the offense was very strong.

The Thunder's three players all scored more than 20 points, and the Warriors' Stephen Jackson, Kailana Azubuike and Kerry Maggette also scored a lot.

Jeff Van Gundy really doesn't understand why the Warriors always act like they've been beaten when they meet the Thunder. Everyone wants to tear the rim apart.

However, at the last moment, Jeff Van Gundy forced the players to focus more on defense. Faced with the sudden increase in defensive strength, the Warriors played very inefficiently in the last few rounds. The Thunder also seized the opportunity and went all out. Won this crazy game.

122 to 118, such a high score made Jeff Van Gundy not satisfied, because the Thunder's defense actually allowed the Warriors to get 118 points.

Durant scored 30 points, Anjie had 27 points and 10 rebounds, and Westbrook had 26 points. The collective explosion of these three young people made the Warriors have to swallow the defeat.

And Anjie frequently scored large double-doubles, and he has already become the darling of the media and fans. People are worried that after Yao Ming and O'Neal retire, the traditional centers in the league will disappear. But now, the appearance of An Jie can be regarded as a successor to the center position.

The data is getting better and better, and Anjie's business contracts are getting more and more. These things will undoubtedly take up a lot of Anjie's extra training and rest time. It is not without reason why many nba players have stagnated after several years of playing.

"Well, this guy is so popular now, are you still planning to sell these photos to me? Wait, this is another self-written and self-directed news, are you sure your photos are real? European managers who know Anjie are not easy to mess with."

"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to shoot fake news. Do you know this girl? Yes, I don't. If I want to hype it, why should I pick an unknown girl to hype it?" A man looked at himself proudly The photos in his hand, these photos were secretly taken by him more than a year ago, when An Jie was still a nobody playing basketball.

"Very well, I want all your photos. If something goes wrong, you have to carry it alone. I won't help you." After finishing speaking, the other man hung up the phone.

As long as a person is famous, he has almost no private life to speak of. All the time, almost every corner of life is exposed to people's gaze.

To reveal other people's secrets for money is what journalists and the media are best at. (To be continued.) 8
