An Jie leaned against the glass of the plane window and looked at the dark clouds outside expressionlessly.

It is already twelve to twenty midnight, and there are only a few faint soft rays of light in the entire cabin. Most Thunder players are already asleep before 6.

But An Jie couldn't sleep. It was not because the seats on the special plane were not comfortable enough, but because he was still worried about his defeat tonight.

The fans of the Chesapeake Energy Arena shouted his name wildly, and every time he scored, whether it was a key or not, he would be praised by the fans.

This group of the cutest people gave Anjie the greatest trust and expectation. However, this time, the game did not follow the perfect script. Faced with the Pistons, Anjie was unable to lead the team to turn the tide again.

The comeback battle attracted much attention and finally lost to an opponent who shouldn't have lost, swallowing the longest four-game losing streak this season.

Thinking of this, An Jie couldn't sleep. Tomorrow, the Thunder will play back-to-back games with the Rockets at Toyota Center. Bad spirit will greatly affect his condition. An Jie knew that, but he just couldn't forget this failure that shouldn't have happened.

"Go to bed quickly. If you don't sleep later, you will have to get off the plane." Apart from Anjie, another person who was not asleep was naturally Jeff Van Gundy.

"I can't find the feeling of playing basketball. I feel like I'm not adaptable on the court." When Anjie saw Van Gundy coming to sit beside him, he expressed his distress.

Yi had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Although the data was not as amazing as before, and although the shooting percentage was slightly worse than before, to be fair, Van Gundy was already very satisfied with Anger's data tonight.

"Don't hold on yourself the expectations imposed by others on your back. In the comeback battle, you can score 30 or 40 points? Snatch more than 20 rebounds? Lead the team to win the game in three quarters? If you are a fan, you will also expect Yao Ming to be able to come up with such data when he returns. But think about it, is this realistic?" After the discomfort after returning from injury, several excellent centers under Van Gundy have encountered such problems. And such a guy is Yao Ming from the same country as Anjie.

"You always feel that you should show amazing performances to prove that your body is fine. You don't need to prove that you can play, as it means that your body is fine. If you care too much about your data, you will be restricted and unable to perform."

Angel thought, and at the same time, piles of light could be seen under the plane. The Thunder arrived in Houston.

"After arriving at the hotel, I will appropriately postpone the regular training time tomorrow. Don't think so much. You just need to play in tomorrow's game as usual. Everyone wants you to get good data, 3o3o is better. But if you satisfy the fan's fantasy about you every game, is that possible?" Van Gundy patted Anjie on the shoulder. Young man, the technical problems are small, and the psychological problems are the biggest.

Do you keep your mind calm? It's really that simple?

An Jie moved his injured leg, and to be honest, there was nothing strange. He didn't need to prove it to anyone, he knew his condition best!

................

"After Yao Ming and McGrady were both injured and Artest left the Lakers, people defined the Rockets this season as civilian teams, believing that they are the candidates at the bottom of the West. However, perhaps the "Ewing's Law" was fulfilled. The Rockets' performance this season was actually very good. They have defeated teams like the Mavericks, Cavaliers, and Lakers. Of course, the highly anticipated Thunder have lost to the Rockets twice before. Although the Rockets have no stars this season, their integrity has turned everyone into stars." Before the game, Charles Barkley analyzed the game situation for the audience.

"So, I think the Thunder's losing streak will not stop here. They have lost to the Rockets twice before, and the Rockets' overall offense is something that Van Gundy and the rookies cannot defend. Although Anjie returns, everyone has seen his condition. I advise the Thunder fans not to have too much expectations for him. After all, it is not short to leave the court for a month." Before the game began, Barkley supported his old club and completely looked down on the Thunder.

At this moment, Anjie and the Thunder naturally couldn't hear other people's comments about them. The Thunder players all changed their clothes in the locker room, while Van Gundy wrote and painted on the whiteboard. Everything was like usual, without any abnormality.

Anjie slowly put on the blue yi6 jersey and stuffed it into his flirting pants. Morris said that this number was a curse, which made the Tornado fall under the yi6 two consecutive times.

"You'd better change the number as soon as possible, otherwise this bad luck will be brought to nBa." Morris once joked with Anjie like this.

Angel doesn't think that this number represents a curse or a bad luck. In his heart, that top 6 was the best memory of his life. They defeated the No. 1 pick, they lost Morris, they waited for the invitation call for the championship, and they beat Stanford University... There are bitterness and sweetness, blood and tears.

"Anjie bless Iowa State!" Even the shouts would reappear in Anjie's ear from time to time.

Wear a strap, wrap gauze around our knees, put on protective gear, and took out the brand new sneakers sent to him by Nike. The cuts are so calm and natural, yes, a normal mind, a normal mind...

After all the equipment was worn, An Jie got up and jumped around in the locker room. The passion for the game had slowly spread across him. Although he was playing back to back, An Jie wanted to play quickly than anyone else!

Van Gundy knocked on the whiteboard, and everyone's attention was on the guy who was getting fewer and fewer.

"Listen carefully, guys, this time I don't want you to waste my efforts or your own efforts." After that, Van Gundy began to arrange the tactics to use to go on stage later.

In fact, every team and every coach have a generally unchanging tactical idea. If nothing unexpected happens, this tactical idea will be used throughout the season. Each time the arrangement is just a detailed adjustment to the opponent. Therefore, the tactical arrangement before the game does not take much time.

The warm-up ended soon, and cheers from Toyota Center became louder and louder. Van Gundy finally confirmed everyone's physical condition. There was no player introduction ceremony for Toyota Center today. They will start preparing for the game after going out directly from the player channel.

"Remember An, don't worry about what data and performance others want you to take. As usual, hey! Let's take away the victory!" Van Gundy first told An Jieyi personally, and finally, he raised his voice and shouted in the player channel to ensure that the players could hear themselves in the noisy cheers.

As he got closer and closer to the court, cheers became louder and louder. The flash had already flashed at the exit of the player's passage, and Westbrook lowered his head and kissed some of his wristbands.

Durant painted a cross on his chest, and he was a loyal believer.

Morris closed his eyes and enjoyed the noise of the scene. His current rituals were hard-won.

"Huh, victory, victory." An Jie took a deep breath and gently hammered his chest. The huge number yi6 on his back also swayed.

Suddenly, the security personnel at the exit of the player passage rushed Durant, who was standing in front, and made a "ok" gesture, and they were about to appear!

"Let's go! It's time for us to get on!" Durant was usually taciturn, but today, after the team lost four consecutive times, he had to yell.

While yelling, Durant trotted and led the team to approach the court.

"Take away the victory, we will take away the victory!" An Jie, who was at the end of the team, also agreed, and he jumped and was eager to try.

"Boom!" The moment he walked out of the player's passage, the noise at the scene instantly became several times louder.

The scene was bright, with strange screams from DJs, insults from Rockets fans, and the speech of the commentators on the sidelines.

An Jie familiarly sucked the atmosphere around him, the same taste, the same feeling. He has not changed, the court has not changed, it is just his own mentality.

Now, he wants to make sure that his mentality does not change.

"are, you, ready???!!!!!!!" The dJyi formation shouted at the scene, and the formation immediately came out in the stands to cheer. Anjie and Scola stood in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

The shadow of injury? Go to hell!

Anjie took the lead and fought for the first opportunity to attack. Costic received the ball from Anjie and quickly passed the ball to Westbrook.

Westbrook took the ball slowly and Aaron Brooks lowered the center of gravity and quickly entered the game state.

An Jie did not ask for the ball at the low post, and he would not deliberately get the data to prove himself. In the last game, he attacked too much and played not very reasonable. This is why he only hits 46.

This time, Angel mentioned that he had made a pick-and-roll for Durant without a ball. The latter immediately dazzled past Anger with tacit understanding. Rockets captain Sean Bathir was completely restrained by Angel's excellent quality pick-and-roll. Durant ran to the bottom corner on the left, almost empty.

At the same time, Westbrook made a breakthrough, but suddenly his wrist trembled while he was moving. The basketball obediently flew to the bottom corner on the left and flew into Durant's hand.

At this time, Battier had just gotten rid of his entanglement with Angel, and Scola had to give up the inside and take the initiative to pounce on Durant, who was missing.

Durant naturally ignored the opponent's forward pounce. He still jumped confidently and took action. The first ball seemed to be bound to win!

"Bang! What went against my wish was that Durant made the first open shot on the court and hit the basket and failed to hit.

Scola quickly turned his head and looked for the direction of rebounding.

At this moment, a guy wearing the Thunder's away blue jersey flew to Scola. Of course, there was also the conspicuous back number, yi6.

"Bang!" Another loud noise from the basket, but this time was not caused by ironwork.

"An! The forceful and heavy buttons are added! The Rockets must be careful. The Eastern Tower is very excited today!"

"Ah!" An Jie roared angrily, as if he had vented many discomforts in his heart.

On the first goal of the game, An Jie tried his best!
Chapter completed!
