"I got off the plane. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Catherine typed a few simple words on the screen of her phone, and after that, she skillfully clicked the send button.

This text message was naturally sent to An Jie. At this moment, Catherine has arrived as promised, standing on the land of Portland.

Casually raising her head, Catherine saw a huge poster of An Jie. Most people who have just landed, the first thing they see in Portland is this poster.

For the away players, this poster is definitely quite eye-catching. But for Catherine, Angel is already one of Portland's icons. His huge poster on a building outside the airport couldn't have been more appropriate.

"Ding-dong." An Jie, who was running on the basketball court, heard the ringing of his mobile phone, but he did not immediately look through his mobile phone, but continued his movements on the training court.

Although there are still a few hours before the start of the game, the Trail Blazers are fully in preparation. They can't stop now, they just keep running on the training ground. The last battle, and now the word, falls to the head of the Trail Blazers.

If the Trail Blazers lose this game again, the series total score will become 3-0. Although it has not been eliminated, no team in the history of the NBA has been able to complete a comeback from 3-0 down. Anjie is willing to challenge history, but the playoffs are not a place for him to gamble. Therefore, the outcome of this game will directly determine the direction of the entire playoffs. wins, the suspense is still the same, and if you lose, then Anjie's 11-12 season can basically be said to be over.

Not just Anjie and Ricard, everyone knows the importance of this game. Therefore, today, it is no longer An Jie who came to the training ground in advance to warm up, but the whole team!

"That's it! Safety, complement defense, supplement defense! Pretty! Rickard watched the players on the pitch as they practiced their tactics, clapping his hands with high-fives to emphasize the tactics.

So far, Anjie has done a very good job of defending the area around the three-second zone. Rickard hopes that the changes he makes will allow his best defensive players to perform well. Of course, the most important thing is to be able to break the losing streak for the Trail Blazers.

"Alright, let's rest first." As soon as Ricard's whistle blew, everyone stopped their movements and turned their heads to look at the young rookie coach in unison.

"Now that everybody's stopped all training, if you're too busy, come to the office and study the Spurs game footage. I know you're all holding your breath right now. Don't worry, when you're on the field, there's time for you to play! "Ricard now has to restrict the training of his players, and if this continues, by the time the official game begins, the guys will already be exhausted.

The Trail Blazers players are eager to pull one back at home, and the fans here are also coming to the Rose Garden early to prepare for the upcoming big game.

There are still a few hours before the start of the game, so fans will not be able to check in for admission. Even so, many people gathered in the square outside the rose garden, holding signs, taking photos with each other, and giving interviews. The liveliness here is no worse than that of the venue later.

"What is it that underpins your belief that the team will definitely win?" Wu Hua felt very curious, now the Trail Blazers can be said to be at a disadvantage, and the Spurs are undoubtedly strong. So what is it that makes this group of fans always have a heart to win?

Therefore, Wu Hua began to look for fans to do street interviews in the square outside the rose garden.

"Faith? I grew up in Portland, and since my dad's generation, my whole family has been a big fan of the Portland Trail Blazers! Even if the team falls into the doldrums, our enthusiasm will not be extinguished! After all, this is my hometown team! And, we also have Ann! A young man with dyed red hair replied excitedly to Ricard.

"In the first game, Ann's performance was a bit out of order. It's normal, even Jordan, there are times when he doesn't play well. Ann has been so immarely this season that he even won the Defensive Player of the Year award. But once in a while one or two games don't play well, we can all understand that. As for the second game, those damn referees were disgusting. I believe in Gerald. Wallace scored four fouls in five minutes, which is definitely not within the normal range! But now, we have an informant Ann, and we may be more or less biased by the referee when we play at home. With these conditions, I don't think the Spurs can still beat the Trail Blazers! A black fan in a slightly older grade had a completely different answer than the previous one.

"The answer is simple, we have the best defensive player!" The last fan Wu Hua interviewed was a college player who was burly and was now wearing Anjie's No. 00 jersey. Anjie's story was one of the biggest motivations for him to give up tennis in college and choose basketball. Although he is more talented in tennis, this young man prefers basketball. He believes that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely be like An Jie, break the shackles of congenital deficiency and get harvest.

Wu Hua found that the group of guys who came to the Rose Garden to carnival and wait for admission had different reasons. But the only thing they have in common is their belief that the Trail Blazers can win. Some people may have a good reason, while others just believe in Anjie!

"You know Ann, so many people are counting on you." Wu Hua looked up at the sky of Portland, the sun had gradually set, and night was quietly coming. The gates of the Rose Garden finally opened, and the black crowd lined up to enter.

"I hope you don't let them down." Wu Hua took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance passage for media personnel. He knew that what would happen inside later would be enough to suffocate everyone. While the air is still so light, take a few more breaths. Later, the atmosphere inside is not something that everyone can bear.

"Remember! Defensively, we have to leave no stone unturned! In the first two games, I thought that a tight man-to-man defense was the best way to contain the Spurs! I was wrong, their subtle movement and unmistakable pick-and-roll made it easy for one-on-one defense to break through. So today, we're going to use all the things we're going to practice! Zone defense is the mainstay, supplemented by man-marking! Try to use that simple and effective method on offense, and the defensive end is our main battlefield! Rickard clenched his fist and slammed the tactical whiteboard hard. At a time when the whole league is increasing the number of rounds and increasing the attack power. Only he, Ricard, intends to fight for victory with defense. He didn't know if he was crazy, but he knew that this was the only way for the Trail Blazers at the moment!

When the players from both sides poured out of the players' tunnel, the atmosphere at the Rose Garden scene was really as Wu Hua thought, suffocating!

"The scene was crazy! I'm so glad I was able to sit here and talk about the game! "Kenny. Smith's voice appeared on television. This time, T.NT sent their signature trio to the scene to comment!

Some of the fans were waving their scarves, while others were tapping with balloon bats. In short, their passion was not extinguished by the embarrassment of falling behind 2-0.

The excited An Jie has also been bouncing, and he and Duncan, who is opposite him, have also formed a huge contrast.

"These guys, it's like they're the ones who are leading 2-0." Burris. Dio looked around puzzled, wait, later, you won't be able to get up!

The referee threw the basketball into the air, and the overexcited Anjie jumped high, overtaking Duncan's more palms and winning the first attack for the Trail Blazers!

At that moment, countless words written "RIP. CITY" sign was held up by the fans. Under a fierce cheer, Raymond. Felton also withstood Parker's entanglement and successfully controlled the ball to the top of the three-point line.

Directly into the penalty area, no psychedelics, no smoke bombs, Felton implemented Riccard's arrangement, and the attack was simple!

After An Jie got the ball, even Duncan, who had experienced countless big scenes, swallowed his saliva. He was still the same as before, ready to jam all the routes on An Jie's right and force An Jie to attack with his left hand.

But An Jie didn't plan to solve the problem in an easy way this time, he tensed the muscles of his whole body, began to dribble, and rushed backwards!

Back slash! An Jie plans to compete with Duncan in the most brutal way!

The current Duncan naturally does not have any advantages physically. For his age, Duncan has done a good enough job. He has been gritting his teeth and persevering, hoping to successfully lock An Jie out of the penalty area within five seconds of his back hit.

Anjie's advancement effect is not obvious, but it still advances some distance. Seeing that he was not far from the forbidden area, and the time of five seconds on his back was about to come. An Jie suddenly turned around with the ball, hoping to face the basket to complete the offense.

An Jie's turn this time did not rely on skill, but on speed and body.

He turned around with great agility and squeezed Duncan out with his body. In an instant, Duncan was left behind by An Jie!

Seeing this, the experienced Burrese. Dio ran to the basket without thinking about it, An Jie's eyes were staring at the basket, he was definitely going to dunk!

As everyone knows, when Dior was just about to jump and block, An Jie unknowingly passed the ball out of Dior's head!

Because the pass was so fast, Dio didn't have time to reach out and steal. He only felt a gust of wind hang over his ears, and then, he just reflexively looked back.

Aldridge had already shot the basketball, and the basketball had once again slashed over Dior's head. Only this time, it's going to the basket!

"Nice fit, Ann draws the bag and assists Aldridge's shot. Oh my God, it's a really simple tactic, but it's very efficient. Think about it, if Dior doesn't make up the defense, then Ann will definitely be able to complete the dunk. If Ann's passing skills weren't that good, then this assist wouldn't have come to fruition. So, don't look at it as a simple combination, but in fact, it requires a lot of skill from the players. "It's just an average shot score, but Kenny. Smith saw a lot of things from it.

Although the Trail Blazers scored a goal in the opening game, the Spurs players didn't take it to heart. The Trail Blazers' offense has always been strong, but their defense......

Tony. Parker holds the ball, and the man who blocks for him is the young Leonard. Parker skilfully accelerated and bypassed Felton's defense to a 45° angle.

"The French Little Sport" just wanted to shoot a basketball, but found that Gerard. Wallace, grinning in front of him!

"Changing guards so quickly!?" Parker didn't expect Ricard to use a joint defense, he thought it was Gerrard. Wallace's change of guard is very fast!

There's no way, the current defense of the Trail Blazers really makes it difficult for you to tell whether they are man-to-man or joint defense. Because in one defense, the Trail Blazers used both ways to defend at the same time.

Parker saw that he had no room to accelerate, so he handed the ball to Dio. Christian Dior held the ball with his back in the mid-range position, while Duncan was away from the box. The purpose of his doing this is to pull Angel out and then ......

Leonard's abrupt getaway made Felton react a beat slower, and Dio was also an inside player with excellent playmaking. Seeing Leonard start, Dio hit the ground and passed, and gave the ball to the young small forward.

Leonard received the ball, did not dribble, but directly took three steps to prepare to attack the frame! At this time, An Jie suddenly rushed back to the forbidden area and crossed in front of Leonard! If Leonard insists on playing, luck seems to be able to make a foul, and if he is unlucky, he will definitely eat a bloody shot!

On second thought, Leonard suddenly passed the ball during the break. Now that An Jie came to make up for the defense, Duncan must be in an empty position!

Duncan also made a good gesture of catching the ball and making up for the penalty area, but still couldn't stop the Spurs from scoring!

Just when Duncan was about to make a shot, Leonard's pass was intercepted by a big hand!

"Gerald. Wallace, he peeps at Tim. Duncan has been around for a long time! "Wallace is indeed looking after Tony, who came out of place. Parker, but at the same time, Duncan in his defensive zone, Wallace also has a watch!

After the successful takeout, the Spurs continued to beware of the Trail Blazers' long passes in the backcourt, hoping to force them to make mistakes.

However, the Trail Blazers players weren't in a hurry. They ran to the front court unhurriedly, and they didn't have any intention of playing fast attack at all!

"Are you ready to grind slowly with us? Hmph, interesting. Popovich put his chin together and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. It seems that the Trail Blazers don't plan to put a lot of effort on the offensive end, and they plan to stay on the defensive end to use the physical strength they need to run!

Slow-paced? Positional warfare? Come on, that's what Spurs are good at!

A steal wasn't enough to break up the tough Spurs. If you want to go hard, just give it a try!
