Chapter 46 The end of the regular season

The 2008-2009 season is nearly halfway through, and the Christmas game is about to begin. Of course, the Thunder, which is the last in the league with 5 wins and 34 losses, has no right to participate in the Christmas game.

The players have gone home to spend Christmas with their families, and Presti is alone at home preparing to watch other teams' Christmas games.

Originally, Anjali wanted to come to accompany Presti, but Presti refused, joking about not accompanying her parents to accompany me on Christmas, how much resentment her parents would have towards me at that time, she resolutely refused for the future.

By the way, I probably forgot the results of other games, but he still remembers the Christmas game clearly. He remembered that Los Angeles finally defeated the Boston Celtics 92:83 in this year's Christmas game, which also ended the opponent's 19-game winning streak.

Thinking of this, Presti used all 30 of his only 20 to buy the Los Angeles Lakers to win. After buying, he went back to the sofa and started watching the Christmas game.

When the game between the Lakers and the Celtics ended, the Lakers beat the Celtics 100:93. Presti secretly rejoiced when he saw the score. Fortunately, he didn't buy the score. It seemed that something changed because of his arrival.

The next day, the players all returned to the arena to start training and prepare for the next game, and Presti watched from the sidelines.

When the game officially started, everyone knew that the Thunder's losing streak was about to start again. Everyone was speculating whether the Thunder would break the league's losing streak. Some companies even offered odds.

The Thunder seem to have become the talk of the league when it's boring. While people are talking about the Thunder's losing streak, Presti will of course be pulled out to ridicule.

Of course, the Thunder team led by Presti will certainly not let everyone down. After the Christmas game, the Thunder team once again lost wildly. Except for the Shipu run by WOJ, all the websites said that some media ridiculed it.

Finally, when the All-Star Game was over, not long after the Thunder won the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets in a row, people suddenly found that the Thunder seemed to be different. It is worth mentioning that after the Christmas game, Baron Davis injured his ankle and did not play again. Davis won the last two games in a row.

On this day, the Thunder will play against the Atlanta Hawks at home. The Hawks at this time are not the ones who will be slaughtered by others. The Eagles in this period are also regular visitors to the playoffs, and their strength should not be underestimated.

When Presti passed through the player tunnel, the reporters surrounded him again. Previously, because of the Thunder's repeated losses, Presti's popularity had dropped to the extreme, and after winning the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets consecutively, the popularity also increased.

"Hi Presti, have you guys made any adjustments during the 23-game losing streak?"

"Hello, Presti, after winning the Lakers and Nuggets in a row, does it mean that the ball king is back on track?"

"Hello, Presti, what kind of goals do you want to achieve in the next schedule?"

……

Presti patiently listened to the reporter's questions. When the last reporter finished asking, Presti smiled, his face full of confidence, and said: "I just want to say one thing, we will win all the next games."After finishing speaking, Presti pushed aside the reporter and returned to the players' bench.

The reporters glanced at each other, and they could see disdain in each other's eyes. They shook their heads and sat on the sidelines to wait for the game to start.

Presti did not adjust the starting lineup, because they have gradually adapted to the position and played better and better.
Durant's breakthrough with the ball, Westbrook's off-ball shooting rate and off-ball running, Dragic's organization and breakthrough, Jordan's defense and frame protection, Mbah a Moute's small throw and defense, Jeff Green's defense and breakthrough have all improved a lot.

Although these improvements can't secure the win, they can bite the score, and finally rely on the system's exchange to let Baron Davis end the game.

And this game is still a familiar rhythm. The two sides went back and forth in the first three quarters. Although the Thunder only took the lead in the first quarter and fell behind in the next two quarters, they were never separated by more than 5 points. In this way, the two sides entered the decisive stage of the fourth quarter.

From the beginning to the middle half of the fourth quarter, the Hawks once led the score by 10 points. Everyone thought that the Hawks were going to win the victory. After Presti called a timeout, the next Baron Davis went berserk.

How does Baron Davis shoot from the outside? After breaking into the inside, he can throw the ball into the box even if he is fouled hard.

Finally, with 8 seconds left in the game, the Hawks led the Thunder by 2 points, and the Thunder controlled the final attack.

After Presti called a timeout, he only said a few words and handed the ball to Davis.Back in the game, when the ball was strenuously given to Davis, two people had already come up to double-team, and Davis was two steps away from the three-point line.

In this case, with Davis' height, it is basically impossible to make a move. Even if he makes a move, it is probably not sticky.

However, I have a system! , I saw Davis holding the ball, turning around and throwing it away!
The red light is on!Goal in, lore! !
Presti stood up and applauded, then immediately left the court, he does not want to be interviewed now.

At this time, various sports websites once again put the Thunder on the headlines. They won three consecutive victories, and all of them are playoff teams. Maybe they are really on the right track.

Of course, while people were discussing Davis' three game-winning goals, they emphasized Presti's summer operations, and Davis's signing was worth it.

Up next: Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Kings
There is no doubt that they all won, and won these few games. Presti didn't use the system. People finally started to really face the Thunder, which has won 7 consecutive victories. At this time, the news headlines have become, "Can Presti regain his magic and win the game?" "Can the Thunder keep the winning streak?" "Who can stop the Thunder."

The Thunder, which has ended its four-game streak, will return to the home court to face the challenges of the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and Miami Heat.

Everyone thought that the Thunder would end their winning streak. As a result, the Thunder slapped everyone in the face again, winning all three games, and both the Rockets and the Spurs relied on Baron Davis' winning goal to win.

At this time, the Thunder has attracted the attention of the league, and all the teams that played against it wanted to defeat the Thunder and end its winning streak, but none of them succeeded.

When the Thunder played against the Philadelphia 76ers in the last game of the regular season, after Baron Davis threw the ball in the backcourt and made a magical lore, it was officially announced that the Thunder ended the regular season with 18 consecutive victories after the All-Star Game.

At this time, everyone believed that the Thunder would catch everyone's attention next season. Davis was named the league's most reliable man and a player with a big heart, while Presti had a good eye for drama and was the best manager. Davis, who was signed during the offseason, was considered the best operation.

But to everyone's surprise, as soon as the regular season ended, Presti actually announced that after the free market opened, Dragic and Baron Davis would be put on the shelves.
