Chapter 420: The Temptation of the O'Brien Cup

A few days ago, when Anjie landed in Oklahoma again, this guy was full of emotion. It is true that Anjie has left too many good memories in the city www.biquge.info of Oklahoma. But now, when An Jie left here again by plane, he didn't have any nostalgia in his heart. He hated failure, and he just so hated the place where he had experienced failure.

Winning a game away from home is definitely a good result in the playoffs. Anjie does not deny that although they lost, the situation of the Trail Blazers in the playoffs is actually not bad.

He wasn't just depressed because the Trail Blazers lost. What's more, but also because he was prevented from doing nothing by his once good brother Morris!

With 16 points, 11 rebounds, 1 block and 5 assists, it's not easy to find a center in this league who can take this kind of stats. But An Jie will not be satisfied, although he cut two pairs, but everyone clearly sees how aggrieved Morris made An Jie play.

For a person who is gradually stepping into the ranks of first-line stars, such data is obviously not up to par.

"Still thinking about the game you just played?" In the dimly lit cabin, Riccard's hoarse voice came into Anjie's ears.

Angel turned her head, barely seeing Ricard's silhouette. Now that most of the people on the plane have fallen asleep, turning on the lights is clearly not a suitable choice. So, An Jie simply started a conversation with the guide in his basketball career in the dark.

"Morris always bites me to death. ”

"It's not Morris, it's your former manager, Jeff van Gundy, who bit you to death. I didn't expect it, that cunning bald head. Rickard pursed his dry lips, he was yelling on the sidelines today. However, his yelling could not change the situation of the game.

"Coach Van Gundy......? He really likes to study the video...... "Anjie has not forgotten how Van Gundy pulled him to watch the game video and study the opponent.

"He should have studied your attacking habits thoroughly, and that guy knows you well enough. The two hit it off, and that's what happened tonight. Like a detective, Riccard analyzed the reasons for Anjie's failure one by one.

"My offensive habits?" An Jie spread his hands suspiciously, sometimes in the face of some situations, what the player should do next is more of a conditioned reflex, rather than through the subtle calculation of the brain. For example, An Jie will choose to suddenly turn around and break through after encountering an opponent who cannot advance, this is An Jie's habit, but he himself doesn't know it. Because in his opinion, it was a natural thing to do.

"I don't even know what my offensive habits are, but I like to shoot with my right hand? ”

"Now go to sleep, Ann, we'll have morning training tomorrow. Hey, I'll help you with that, you know? Now, I want you to sleep in peace. Rickard tapped Angel on the shoulder and got up and returned to his seat. Rickard had already thought of a way to free Angel's shackles, but it wasn't the time to say that.

An Jie stared out of the window of the plane, and the night sky outside was black, making it impossible to see anything. Slowly, An Jie also felt that his eyes became heavy, he changed his sitting position, but fell asleep unconsciously......

...................

"A new generation of Anjie killers!"

"The closest friend, the most terrible enemy!"

"Morris: The real best defensive player!"

Although Morris only had 6 points and 10 rebounds in yesterday's game, he also became the darling of various media headlines overnight through his excellent performance against Anjie on the defensive end.

After all, after a whole season, An Jie has played against countless excellent insiders. But the only one who can restrain Anjie so embarrassed is Morris.

Think about it, if a mediocre guard suddenly restrained Kobe Bryant in the playoffs, that guy would be as popular as Morris. Although An Jie's historical status and honor are far from being comparable to Kobe, this guy is on the inside, just like Kobe, an unstoppable madman with an extremely perverted desire to win.

Therefore, the playoffs are a stage for people to become famous. Every year, there are always a few guys who are tepid in the regular season and become completely popular in the playoffs. And this year, that lucky one has undoubtedly become Morris.

Countless fans are amazed by Morris's defense beyond people's imagination, and countless fans are surprised to find that in college, Morris is a main interior player on an equal footing with Anjie. Of course, the various stories that happened between Anjie and Morris also resounded in the United States overnight.

"The Thunder have now found a weapon to restrain Ann, and this weapon is like the Thunder's key to victory, something that no other team has. They had Morris, and they had a way to beat the Trail Blazers. "There are even some media outlets that have already announced the victory of the Thunder in advance.

Morris looked at the reports about himself, happy and embarrassed at the same time. Happily, he has been committed to defense and rarely gets dazzling statistics, but he is finally recognized by the fans. And the embarrassing part is that he knows that An Jie is not as unbearable as the outside world says! The weaker the media says An Jie, the greater the pressure on Morris.

It's not that Morris doesn't have confidence in himself, he believes he can continue his good performance in the next game. But Morris also knows that Angel is not the kind of person who will sit still. This guy should be working on new ways to deal with himself now, right?

"Ahh

As soon as An Jie's loud voice came out, several team doctors immediately rushed to the training ground with thermometers. Blowing an air conditioner while sweating profusely is indeed easy to catch a cold and fever. An Jie's game with the Lakers has become a classic in the history of the NBA playoffs. But the doctors of the Tear City don't want this classic to fall to the Trail Blazers again.

"Body temperature is 36.5, which is normal!" The three team doctors gathered around An Jie as if they were observing rare animals, and Gerard Wallace on the side was amused when he saw this scene.

"I mean, that's an exaggeration. An Jie wiped the sweat on his head, he was not tired, but frightened by this formation.

"Okay, okay, a false alarm. That's right...... Jace, turn up the damn air conditioner for me!" Rickard disagreed, but his heart was as nervous as the team medics.

Maybe the Thunder didn't expect the Trail Blazers' training atmosphere to be so relaxed, but at least one thing they said was right, and that was that Angel was indeed working with Rickard on a new offensive plan.

"Are you sure I'll be able to pass this alone?" Anjie didn't disbelieve Ricard, but he still felt that it was too easy to break Morris's defense just by forcing his "reflexes" to change.

"Which do you think is stronger, your offense or Morris's defense?" Riccard didn't answer Angel, but asked a question instead.

"Let's go half-pounded. "Although Anjie wants to beat Morris, he has a very high opinion of Morris. This guy's defense is even more tenacious than his own! This is something An Jie has to admit.

"Yes, to put it bluntly, your offense is just as strong as his defense, and don't forget, you're the most versatile center in the league. When Ricard said this, he did not add "one" to the end.

"I don't think there's any technical move that will be a dead end for you, and Jeff Van Gundy is smart enough to study your attacking habits to guess your next move. In this way, Morris will naturally be able to easily defend you. But he's not smart enough, because the only reason he does this is that Jeff Van Gundy doesn't have any means to restrain you, and he can only defend you in this rigid and stupid way. As long as you mess up your attacking sequence, everything he's done will be invalid!" Rickard explained to Anjie the reason why they were training the way they did today.

"So, give me a good practice! If you think broader, not being able to hit your back doesn't mean you have to break through. A tentative push doesn't necessarily mean a turnaround jumper, and a face-frame attack doesn't necessarily mean a forced assault. "Ricard has confidence in Anjie's all-round ability, as long as he can cover this habitual thinking, Jeff Van Gundy's rigid set is completely useless!

"Huh......" adjusted his breathing, and An Jie started hand-to-hand combat under the basket with the trainers holding big cotton pads. Van Gundy is very rigid, and whether Morris is tough or not, Anjie doesn't want to care now. The only truth he is sure of is that sweat can be exchanged for everything! If you want to win, it's very simple, then sweat!

The atmosphere is relaxed but not at all relaxed, and this is what the rose garden is today. The game is on the doorstep, and it's time for the Trail Blazers to establish an advantage.

....................

"Catherine!!! Wow Woo !!!" As soon as Catherine, who was wearing a black coat, took the stage, there were immediately enthusiastic cheers below. Her steps and expressions, as well as her skillful display of clothes, make it impossible for you to tell that this girl is a model who has become a monk halfway.

After a flash of light, Catherine turned to leave, ready to walk backstage. This part of the road, Catherine walked very fast. Indeed, no matter how big a model you are, you must leave the stage as soon as possible, and you cannot continue to linger or perform on stage, so as not to delay the appearance of the next model.

But Catherine went fast, not just because she asked for it. She hurried backstage, took off her flashy coat, and sat down at her dresser to pick up the phone.

"I heard it, and the cheers were incredible. I'm so proud of you, Catherine. Your father, and he will certainly be proud of your accomplishments. An Jie's voice came out of the earpiece, and when Catherine came on stage just now, the phone didn't hang up.

"Tomorrow night, you're going to get a lot of cheers like you're now, right?" Catherine looked at her calendar, tomorrow, the third game of the Western Conference Finals will begin. And this time, the battlefield also traveled from the Chesapeake Energy Arena to Portland's Rose Garden.

"Hehe, by the way, what time will your father arrive tomorrow? ”

"I'll be in Oklahoma in the morning, and I'll be on the plane by now. You don't have to entertain him, he'll take care of himself. Concentrate on preparing for the game, you know?" Catherine's father finally couldn't resist his inner impulse and decided to close his doors for a few days and go to Portland to watch Anjie's game.

"Don't worry, he won't affect my training. This guy is a big fan of the Whirlwinds, and he must be happy to see Coach Ricard again. An Jie could already imagine the bearded man's ecstatic expression.

"No, we're only happy to see you win the game. Catherine is not only Anjie's girlfriend, she is also one of Anjie's most loyal fans. And this sentence undoubtedly speaks to the hearts of all Trail Blazers fans.

"If I win the championship, I'll propose to you!"

"I know, we said okay, I'll wait for you. ”

"Trust me Catherine, it's coming, it's coming......"

When basketball and love are linked, no one knows what will happen. But what is certain is that Anjie, this kid, is bound to give Morris and Van Gundy a headache for a while.

At that time, Catherine almost put aside her fledgling career to go to the hospital to accompany An Jie, who was reimbursed for the season, and An Jie knocked out the big teeth of the photographer who plotted against him in order to protect Catherine regardless of the pressure of public opinion. When Angel is not going well, Catherine's phone call can reinvigorate him. But when Catherine is scared, Anjie's voice will make the girl feel safe...... Catherine and Anjie always support each other, keep moving forward, never stopping. Now, it's time for both of them to reap the rewards of their careers and lives.

The championship, the desire for this thing, has taken over Anjie's entire brain......
