Chapter 403: Partner on the field, partner on the field
Get up, clean up the bed that was messed up by yourself, and after a simple wash in the bathroom, An Jie put it on and prepared to start her new day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a fantastic two-game winning streak at home, Angel had to move on, had to say goodbye to Catherine, had to say goodbye to that lovely group of fans, and with an aura of victory, once again stepped into San Antonio, stepping into this area that the Trail Blazers had been unable to conquer.
Five-star hotels, which are standard for the Trail Blazers to go out and play on the road, however even against Paul. For Allen, the owner, it would be too much of a luxury to have a single room for every player on every road trip. A two-person room can not only save costs, but also make the player's accommodation comfortable, and two people living together is also more conducive to promoting the relationship between teammates.
Don't underestimate the private relationship between the players, this thing can even directly affect the performance of two people on the field.
If the relationship between two people is cold in private, then they will not trust each other on the field. If the two have a good relationship in private, then they will be willing to share the ball with each other on the court. Although professional footballers want to completely separate their private lives from work, at least when it comes to interpersonal relationships between teammates, work and life cannot be separated.
The two leading stars of the Trail Blazers, Angel and LaMarcus. Aldridge is a great example of a good partnership. Not only are they the team's best friends in private, but on the field, Anjie and Aldridge's exquisite interior cooperation again and again has also made countless opponents miserable. As a result, Rickard always divided the two of them together every time he assigned a room.
"Wake up so early?" Aldridge still had his eyes closed, and Anjie even thought that his partner hadn't woken up at all, but in fact, Aldridge had heard all the movements in the room clearly.
"Can't sleep, Lamarcus, you know, we've never won in San Antonio in the playoffs?" Anjie said and opened the curtains, the sky in San Antonio was gray, and the weather should not be very good in the past two days.
"Started to worry? You're worried enough, and if you want to win the game, you have to at least make sure you're energetic, right? Aldridge opened his eyes, picked up his watch on the bedside table and looked at the time.
"Hell, it's only half past five, and it's getting brighter and earlier in the day. Hey, tonight's game, I'd love to win it too. Aldridge sat up and stared at Angel earnestly.
"Your suggestion?"
"Lie down and sleep for another hour, trust me, full of energy, it won't hurt you." After saying that, Aldridge fell down again, not because Aldridge was not nervous, it could only be said that An Jie's nerves were too tight.
An Jie lay back on the bed, but to his surprise, he was immediately surrounded by a thick sense of sleep. Maybe Aldridge was right, he should get some rest......
When they arrived in San Antonio yesterday due to a thunderstorm, the plane on which the Trail Blazers players were traveling was unable to land.
After several hours of waiting, when the rain had almost stopped, the plane was finally allowed to land. So when Angel and the others stepped into San Antonio's land, it was already past 12:5 a.m. The players who trained in Portland all afternoon were already exhausted, and Anjie was no exception.
So today, despite the evening game, Ricard didn't plan to start training too early. By the end of the game, both sides were already familiar with each other, and there were fewer and fewer secrets between Ricard and Popovich. Training and abrupt tactics have made it difficult to influence the situation, and the players' on-the-spot play is the key to the series.
The players' presence was an uncertainty beyond Ricard's control. The only thing he can do is make sure the players get enough sleep and are full of energy. So the early training was canceled, and it was a matter of course.
However, An Jie, who was used to getting up early, still woke up early, but under Aldridge's persuasion, An Jie still fell asleep......
"Ann's shot! No, this is a feint, Ann shook Duncan who came to block with her footsteps, this basket is so beautiful, full of the charm of the "big dream" Olajuwon! The ball went in, and the Trail Blazers extended the margin again. Oh my god Charles, it was Ann's 17th goal of the game, and it was Ann's 17th shot......
"Duncan is on the inside, huh? Instead of attacking, he passed the ball to Ginobili. The Argentines start directly! Serpentine Breakthrough! Ann's lateral movement was fast, but Ginobili still scored the ball, and, the referee said, Ann fouled the defense, and the Spurs had to add a penalty! ”
"Lost, lost completely! The Portland Trail Blazers can't be on the Spurs' turf at all, and the Spurs won't be hurt at all! ”
"The Portland Trail Blazers can't be on the Spurs' turf at all, and the Spurs won't be hurt at all!"
This sentence has been repeated, repeated, repeated in An Jie's mind. It wasn't until the distraught An Jie suddenly opened his eyes that he realized that the scene just now was just a dream.
At the beginning, An Jie dreamed of all good things, such as setting a record by himself, such as the Trail Blazers moving twice in a row. But the further back he goes, the more terrifying An Jie's dream becomes. It wasn't until that commentary kept echoing in An Jie's mind that An Jie was able to wake up.
San Antonio, ATT Center, has never won here...... In the past two days, An Jie's mind has been full of these three things. So much so that when his brain is resting, it will constantly recall these three pieces of information.
"What a fucking damn one!" An Jie scolded and looked up at the window, it was still gray outside, and it was already raining lightly.
San Antonio, this place is like a dark cloud in the sky right now, hanging over Anjie's heart.
The adjusted Spurs, who are playing at home, are bound to fight back. An Jie knew very well in his heart that if they wanted to win this game, they would have to pay the same price.
Maybe you're going to get leg cramps? Maybe Aldridge will be made to an emotional outburst by that Dior ruffian? In any case, it is destined to be a tough battle.
You know that hard times are coming, but you still have to face it. Who doesn't feel depressed when they encounter this kind of thing?
"Ann? What are you in a daze? Still the familiar voice, still the familiar face, Aldridge pulled Angel back to reality after waking up in a daze.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" An Jie shook his head vigorously, trying his best to keep the damn thing behind him.
"Let's go, the boss has already told us to leave for the ATT center."
"Oh." An Jie replied simply, his expression still sluggish. Although Aldridge and An Jie have only known each other for less than a year, he still knows An Jie's character more or less so far this season. This guy is rarely so quiet when facing acquaintances.
"Ann."
"Huh?"
"Damn, you give me some spirit! Let the fans at the ATT Center see how powerful the league's most offensive interior combination is. With that, Aldridge stretched out a fist at Anjie.
Although they were separated by a bed, in front of the slender arms of the two, this distance was nothing at all.
"Damn, let them see!" Anjie also stretched out his arm and bumped punches with Aldridge. If Duncan and Dior saw this scene, their hearts would definitely be more painful than An Jie just now!
Ricard had the team gather in the lobby on the first floor and then take the bus to the ATT centre. Although it has been rainy in San Antonio today, there are still countless fans wearing raincoats or umbrellas, holding signs to welcome the Spurs home, and also "attacking" the incoming Trail Blazers by the way.
It was definitely an important game, so Ricard didn't dare to do any high-intensity training before the game. Simple tactical drills and warm-up intra-squad confrontations were all Ricard had arranged before the game.
At the beginning, in the face of training, An Jie was still confused, still bored and anxious about the upcoming battle. But after a while, he was fully engaged again. This kind of transformation is not An Jie's sudden explosion of the small universe or something, after all, this is not the world written by a cartoonist, and An Jie is not the kind of comic character who is a little too happy and persistent.
The reason why Anjie has changed his mentality is completely because Aldridge has completely stimulated his competitive state!
"Ann! What the hell! Seeing Aldridge score an easy goal on Anjie's head again, Ricard couldn't stand it anymore. Although this confrontation is only a warm-up confrontation, An Jie is too distracted.
"Hey, sorry, sorry." Angel smiled at Ricard, but just a minute later, Aldridge scored again.
"Are you going to use this state to go to the ATT Center and face Duncan? I'm telling you, Ann, if you play like this, Duncan's old man will eat you in this game! Riccard's yelling echoed through the training ground again, and this time, instead of laughing, Angel swallowed with a serious expression.
The third time, Aldridge flashed directly past An Jie with a beautiful jump step to complete the violent dunk. This time, when An Jie picked up the basketball on the ground, he made a gritted tooth movement.
"You're not going to come, really, LaMarcus."
"It's just training, it's just training." Aldridge deliberately understated, which even angered An Jie's fighting spirit.
A person's nature, no matter how much it is suppressed, will suddenly explode under some kind of stimulus.
The lion in the circus may be obedient, but once you starve it for three to five days, it will become a terrifying killer again.
An Jie has been depressed today, but in the face of Aldridge's challenge, An Jie's competitiveness has begun to trouble again!
"Come on, LaMarcus, and show me what else you have in store for what else you have to deal with that cunning Dior." An Jie said, putting on a defensive posture, and the smile on his face no longer meant sorry, but looked very hideous.
That's right, that's the smile. Others may feel worried when they see An Jie's smile. But Aldridge only felt relieved when he saw An Jie's smile. Because he knows that An Jie is really in battle now!
In the training session that followed, Aldridge wanted to score on Anjie's head, which was extremely difficult. Anjie is unreserved and has shown his quality as the best defensive player.
"LaMarcus this kid ......" Ricard smiled and shook his head, don't look at Aldridge's usual taciturn, this guy has quite a lot of ideas.
But from another side, Aldridge also has to know An Jie well enough to effectively stimulate him and arouse his competitive spirit and will to fight!
Judging from the current training, Aldridge is in excellent form, and he has also helped Anjie to regain his form.
I hope these two big men can continue their performance in the official competition and kill all sides!
"That's it! Stop! Fifteen minutes later, we played! Ricard looked at his watch and stopped training against him.
Another major battle in the ATT center, An Jie this time, but he is determined to conquer this place!
