Standing pretty old

Chapter 524 Another wave of eight consecutive victories
"Russell, I heard you've become a starter?" Ruan Erniu said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"That's right, it's just a starter, it's not a big deal." Er Niu could imagine Westbrook's arrogant expression on the other end of the phone.

"Hey! I just watched the game, why don't you just kill the Cavaliers! With such a performance, I won't treat you to dinner when I come to Atlanta tomorrow!" Ruan Erniu continued to tease.

"Come on, you and James are competing for the number one position in the league, what does it have to do with me now? Just wait, one day, my name will appear on this stage after all," Westbrook said confidently, "On that day, Both you and James will be defeated by me!"

"Okay! I'll wait for you. Just kidding, come to my house for dinner tomorrow, you and KD come together, and my girlfriend and I will entertain you at home?" Ruan Erniu said.

"Well! I've also wanted to meet your muse. I heard that she is also from California. You should bring her to Los Angeles to play together in summer." Westbrook said.

"Come on, summer is busy participating in the Olympic Games, and she also has to go to work, how can I go to Los Angeles together when I have time? Or, find time to get together this summer?" Ruan Erniu said helplessly.

"Okay, Nina will definitely become friends with her. I'm about to get on the plane, and when I get to Atlanta, we'll talk about it after meeting."

"OK! Welcome to Atlanta!"

The two hung up the phone afterward, and there was going to be a match tomorrow, but with the personal friendship between Er Niu and Westbrook, they still had no problem making a phone call.

On December 12, the Hawks ushered in the Oklahoma City Thunder at home.

Westbrook has finally secured his starting point guard position, and the Thunder's start tonight is quite surprising:

C Joe Smith

PF Jeff Green
SF Drummond Mason
SG Kevin Durant

PG Russell Westbrook

The Thunder suffered a lot of injuries. Fortunately, none of the three players (Durant, Jeff Green, Westbrook) were injured. The team has a solid framework, which is the foundation for the Thunder to go further.

The Thunder play back-to-back away games, and there are too many young players who do not know how to allocate their physical energy reasonably. It is a dream to do everything on the defensive end, so they will definitely want to make breakthroughs on the offensive end.

For the Eagles, he forced him to be strong, with the breeze blowing over the hills, firmly grasping the transition of offense and defense, a variant of 3-2 defense, and the tactics of actively fighting counterattacks remained unchanged.

In the first quarter of the game, neither side opened up. At 24:26, the Eagles only led their opponents by two points.

Jon Jonson didn't feel good. He only made 6 of 2 shots. The statistics are very comprehensive. He scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists. But if he plays better, the Hawks can lead even more.

In the second quarter of the game, Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen went crazy at the same time, and the score was instantly opened up. At 19:35, it was another two-quarter game that opened up the score.

At the beginning of the season, the league said that the Eagles can't afford to provoke them in three quarters, but when they encounter relatively weak teams, it has become the norm to seal the victory at halftime.

The Thunder, which trailed by 18 points at halftime, set off a wave of counterattacks in the third quarter, but Atlanta was obviously superior. Even if Durant scored 12 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist in a single quarter, the Hawks were still fine. Slowly, the game was gradually included in the bag.

In the final quarter of the game, the score has been stretched to 25+, but the Thunder still refused to give up. Coach Scott Brooks, who had just taken office, made the Thunder's three young men fight until the last moment.

In his opinion, even a big loss to the defending champion is a very valuable game experience, which can give the Thunder's talented boys a huge harvest.

The young OKC is unwilling to admit defeat, and the ATL at its peak is also happy to play with them. Anyway, it is a continuous home game, with plenty of physical strength, and idle is idle.

The two teams played offensive basketball in the second half of the game, and both sides maximized the speed of offensive and defensive transitions.

Therefore, despite the large point difference, the home fans still watched with great interest and were quite happy.

At 94:115, the Eagles took advantage of their opponents by 21 points, and this season, for the first time in the team, two players had a triple-double in one game.

Ruan Erniu scored 31 points, 17 rebounds, and 12 assists, while Jon Jonson scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists.

Although the Thunder lost the game, San Shao's stats did not fall short.

Durant scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, Jeff Green scored 18 points, 14 rebounds, Westbrook also scored 18 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds efficiently.

After the game, it was time for Er Niu and Jiong Jisen to comment on the newcomers.

囧囧sen just complimented his opponent casually, and didn't express much.

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "Russell has become an official starter. I am very optimistic that he will become an All-Star player. Durant? I think regardless of his age, he is already an All-Star player. gone."

Still the same sentence, Erniu is obviously only a second-year player, but why does he have no sense of disobedience when he evaluates other rookies.

It can only be said that some people are born to be legends!
Of course, there are still many reporters who value Erniu and Jiongsen’s triple-double records more. The two also talked about their opinions. They generally praised each other and strengthened their determination to defend the title. The press conference also It ended with a round of applause.

After the game, Ruan Erniu took Westbrook and Durant to sit on the "Knight XV" he had just acquired, and Lao Gu drove them home.

The three young people enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at Er Niu's house, and Er Niu also introduced Han Meimei to two friends.

After dinner, the three chatted nonsense again.

*** will soon officially take over as the president of the United States;

The United States is still in deep economic crisis;

Rihanna and Taylor Swift are already making their mark;

A boy named Justin Bieber is preparing to fly from Maple Leaf Country to the United States for development. He never thought that he would be rejected by the people of the two countries in the future;

The two giants of the NBA, yellow and green, have risen again, but the Atlanta Hawks have sprung up without any signs, and the Cavaliers this season have also changed from the past. LeBron James seems to be walking on his own path to glory...

The Thunder left Atlanta the next day, and they will go to the Motor City to challenge the Pistons.

Ruan Erniu continued to take Atlanta. In addition to training, he also accompanied Dr. Han and Eddie to zoos, museums, and historical memorials during the rare free time during the season.

It wasn't until December 12, four days after the game against the Thunder, that the Hawks faced the Bulls at home.

It was another offensive battle, and the Bulls also played the game with a gamble mentality, but the Hawks' offensive power was even better.

Jon Jonson broke out in this game and completed a new season high: 31 of 16 shots, including 6 of 4 three-pointers and 6 of 5 free throws. He scored a total of 41 points, 8 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Ruan Erniu did not give up too much, making 18 of 14 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, 10 of 7 free throws, scored a large double-double with 36 points and 24 rebounds, and firmly suppressed the Bulls' inside line.

The Eagles' twin stars scored 77 points together, and it was so difficult for the Bulls to win a victory, even Ben Gordon and Derrick Rose scored 60 points together.

At 117:135, in the game where the strong have their own strong players, the Eagles had the last laugh and won eight consecutive victories!

On the second day, Ruan Erniu also took time to shoot a group of Adidas commercials with Rose. The two played each other with great joy, as if announcing that they would rule the future NBA.

After the Bulls' game is over, the Eagles are about to usher in their last opponent in 7 consecutive home games-the Denver Nuggets.
