Super Heavy Artillery

At the beginning of the season, Wes Ann brook and others felt very uncomfortable at the beginning of the new season. In ESPN's forecast of regular season performance in the new season, thunder, as the defending champion, has only 50 wins.

50 wins a lot! In such a competitive West, there are not many teams that can win 50. For any team, at the beginning of the season is considered to be able to win 50 games, is a happy thing. But thunder is not the same, this is not a very optimistic forecast. You know, thunder won 66 games last season, and played 60 + Games in the regular season for two consecutive years. However, compared with several other mainstream media, ESPN is already the most optimistic about thunder. Even so, they are only slightly optimistic about thunder than other media.

In the thunder people's hearts, although a Paul George is missing, they still have Westbrook and anlow, and the overall strength has not been greatly reduced. Paul George is really strong, but Gallinari is not far behind. You know, in the past season, Gallinari played 33 minutes per game, and was able to hand over 19.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists, with an overall shooting rate of 46%, of which, the three-point shooting rate reached 43%. Paul George's average per game was much better than Gallinari's last season, but he made more shots. His overall shooting rate was only 43%, and his three-point shooting rate was only 37%.

But this is just the thunder's own view, in the outside world, they are a double a super star, and Gallinari is just a quasi all star player, the gap between the two is not small. After all, the gap between star players and ordinary players is not reflected in those figures. The impact on both sides of the team's attack and defense, the explosive power at the critical moment, the catalytic effect on other players, and so on, ordinary players must not do well. It's very easy for stars, especially superstars, to do these things as long as they want to. This is also an important reason why some teams quickly degenerate into fish bellies after their stars left.

In this way, it will be very difficult for thunder to extend the performance of the previous two seasons in the new season. At least, the mainstream media and basketball players are not optimistic about them. You know, for both the clippers and the Lakers, ESPN has predicted 60 + games.

However, such predictions are not taken seriously by anlow and Westbrook. At the beginning of each season, people make all kinds of predictions. Different people and different media will have different views. There will also be various versions of "seed" teams coming out. But in fact, most of these predictions will turn into jokes as the race progresses.

"The championship is always our goal. In the first two seasons, we were successful. We beat all the opponents and became the final winner. I think that this season we should be able to maintain the momentum to attack the championship. I believe we have that ability and we have that experience. "

In the face of the media, Westbrook did not deliberately cover up his own ideas. Of course, maybe it's a protest against the bad news about Oklahoma. He's very confident when it comes to hitting the championship.

"We have won the championship for two years in a row. Every time, our opponent is very strong. But we worked together, all of us tried our best, and finally we defeated them. It's the result of all of us, and I, ANN, Paul, Steven, and so on, are part of it. Now, the new season is starting again. We are very aware of that state and we have enough experience to face any opponent. I will tell the new team-mates what we have done in the first two seasons and we will work together, just like the two previous seasons

"I know a lot of people don't think highly of us. But I don't agree with that. Our overall strength has not weakened, darroni and Shay are very strong guys! They will bring us more different things, our game will become different, but in any case, we will still be the most powerful contender for the championship. What I want to say is, don't look down on us. After all, we were champions in the first two seasons

When asked about the deal with the clippers, Westbrook showed no particular emotion.

"It's true that something quite special happened in the last off-season. Our team made a deal with the Los Angeles team and exchanged players. It's quite normal. There's a lot of trading going on every season. It's no surprise. Paul is a very good player and in the past two years, he has been the key for us to win two championships

"No one has a different choice. Paul is from Los Angeles. It's natural that he returns to Los Angeles to play. I believe that in the coming new season, he can lead his team to play a good result

Except for Westbrook, almost all the players of thunder last season were asked by the reporters and media. Although the speeches are different, the meaning is very unified: thunder will not be weakened by the departure of Paul George, and will not give up the pursuit of the championship because of the change of personnel.Among them, the most confident person is Anluo. Westbrook is confident, but still not as good as anlow.

"The championship of the last two seasons has been Oklahoma thunder, not Russell Westbrook, not ANLO, not Paul George. This is a team with a championship blood, and we players are just one of them. This team will not be different because of the lack of who, and will not stop its direction because of the change of some personnel

"We are still a championship team, just like Los Angeles, Houston, Auckland, Milwaukee, Brooklyn. I have a lot of confidence in our team and we will have an unexpected season, just like two years ago, when there were no more people watching us. But it turned out that we had the last laugh. "

Many people agree with the remarks of Anluo and Westbrook, but many people are not optimistic about them. But no matter look good or not, there are always some people who are unswervingly moving towards the championship.
