Chapter 338: The Great War After the All-Star Break

After the All-Star Game, the photo of Anjie and Durant jointly lifting the All-Star Game MVP trophy dominated almost all media headlines. Durant scored 38 points www.biquge.info and 7 rebounds, and An Jie scored 29 points and 11 rebounds, making them the protagonists.

Originally, the gathering of the Thunder three young people was one of the main highlights of this All-Star Game, and if Westbrook's statistics were good enough, the NBA officials might let the three of them lift the All-Star Game MVP trophy at the same time. In short, this All-Star Game basically ended in a happy ending.

Angel and Catherine had a romantic trip to Orlando, and Angel also reannounced her return after a year at the All-Star Game.

These days, Anjie is always immersed in happiness. But just when the regular season just resumed, Anjie and his trailblazers were hit in the face.

After returning from the All-Star break, Anjie was given a day off. But after that, he had to play back-to-back games with the team to "warm up".

Their first opponent is the Denver Nuggets, who beat them by 20 points last time. Although the current Nuggets are inferior to the Trail Blazers in terms of hard power, people originally thought that An Jie, who shined in the All-Star Game, could easily lead the team to win the first game of the back-to-back schedule. Unexpectedly, from the first minute of the game, the competition was very anxious.

"Watch him, watch him, watch him......" Seeing Ty Lawson control the ball again, Ricard muttered to himself on the sidelines. Ty Lawson's form was surprisingly good in this game, and even the experienced Raymond Felton couldn't take him for granted.

This time, though, Felton's defense was pretty good. He forced Ty Lawson to retreat, so that Lawson could only stagger a few steps to stabilize the ball and reorganize the attack.

"Well done!" Ricard secretly shook his fist, but in the next second, he realized that he was still too happy too soon.

I saw Ty Lawson throw the basketball into the air, and Aldridge was just about to start, only to find that Kenneth Farid, the more athletic "half-orc", had already taken off!

Farid's ability is definitely worthy of his nickname, and like a ferocious beast, he grabs the basketball and slams it into the basket. It was already Faried's sixth goal on Aldridge's head by using his athleticism to his advantage.

"Coach George Carr must have been happy today because he laid out everything and the Nuggets players were in place. There are many different opinions about the positioning of the Nuggets this season, but today, it is the Nuggets that has evolved to its final form. Such a team, even without a superstar, is just as competitive!" Kenny Smith has rarely seen a Trail Blazers opponent play such a beautiful game. Indeed, I don't know what drove the Nuggets who were not selected for All-Star Weekend, but they played so well today.

It may be for this reason that the Nuggets players are stimulated. Anyway, the Nuggets are on their home court today, completely in control of the tempo.

Anjie worked very hard to score inside, but the rest of the Trail Blazers were too lacklustre. The Trail Blazers have always been known for their integrity, and George Karl and his Nuggets have taught the Trail Blazers a good lesson today.

Perhaps after half a season, the Nuggets finally got full control of George Karl's strategy. They hit a lot of shots from the outside today, and maybe when the Nuggets feel better, they will be really hard to stop.

In the end, the Nuggets will complete their revenge at the Pepsi Center. The last time the Trail Blazers beat the Nuggets by 20 points, how many Nuggets fans hold a grudge because of it. Now, they finally let out a bad breath.

99-104, the Trail Blazers lost by only 5 points. But for Nuggets fans, the win in this game was enough to tie them with the Trail Blazers.

An Jie scored 26 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in this game. But in the face of the Nuggets, where everyone can score, Anjie's data can't change the outcome of the game.

Perhaps it's because they're so focused on Game 2 of a back-to-back schedule that the Trail Blazers players can't concentrate because of it. Speaking of their opponents who watched the second game with their backs, the mere mention of that name was enough to keep everyone on guard......

"Ann, will the loss of this game affect your form tomorrow against the Heat!?" Sure enough, there weren't a few questions about the game after the game. All of them have their focus on tomorrow, the game that starts on March 1, when the Trail Blazers host the Heat!

"We have lost this game and this defeat is a thing of the past. I don't know why a match that has already ended affects the course of the next game. An Jie hated reporters asking such meaningless questions, so he didn't answer angrily.

"We all know that tomorrow is going to be your first career against the Heat Big Three. Do you feel nervous? How do you feel about facing them?" However, due to injuries, this is the first time An Jie has to face them.

'Tomorrow is going to be a normal game, there's nothing to be nervous about. The Heat are very strong and we will be in the best shape to take on the opponent. Anjie didn't know why reporters always hung those three guys from the Heat team in a high position. As if all their opponents, should be afraid.

I'm sorry, Anjie is not a first-year rookie, nor is he the kind of elegant guy. Now he is just a man who has just lost and is in a bad mood.

In the face of the strong, An Jie will only be more excited!

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

From the Heat's 106-89 victory over the Wizards on Feb. 10 to March 1. The Big Three, led by James, have never lost.

The Big Three, who have been running in very tacit this season, have finally shown their terrifying strength. If the current Heat team is put in the Finals, the Mavericks really won't be able to win again.

It is precisely because of the strength of the Heat team that people will pay attention to this game. Because even though the Trail Blazers just lost, they have long been considered one of the best teams in the West!

The declining Los Angeles Lakers, the Nuggets without Anthony, the tepid Grizzlies, and the down-and-out defending champion Mavericks...... This year, the situation in the West can be described as a sea change, on the contrary, two young teams like the Trail Blazers and Thunder, have rushed to the forefront of the West.

At the beginning, people were looking forward to seeing the showdown between the Thunder and the Heat Big Three, but unfortunately, An Jie's sudden injury and transfer made all this exist in the fantasies of fans. But now, even if it's just An Jie, fans are still looking forward to this matchup.

The Trailblazers, led by An Jie, have a traditional style of play against the Heat, who are made up of the Big Three and have almost given up on the inside. Two very different basketball ideas, a head-to-head confrontation between the top two in the East and West. After half a season, this race is finally on the agenda!

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

How well does Pat Riley know Anjie? I don't know it well! When Anjie was still working hard in the NCAA, Pat Riley had already begun to observe Anjie. At that time, Riley didn't expect the Cavaliers' little emperor to wear the Heat's jersey, and the only thing he could do was find a good helper for Wade in the draft.

When the Bulls drafted Derrick Rose, Pat Riley had to face a choice. This choice bothered him for two months, but a second before making a decision, he still didn't make up his mind.

In the end, Pat Riley still put the treasure on Michael Beasley, the "No. 1 high school student in the United States" and also performed well in the NCAA. As it turned out, this was probably one of the biggest regrets of Pat Riley's life.

But he didn't expect that a few years ago, he was still painstakingly recruiting An Jie, and now, he has the deadliest combination in the league. If Anjie had come to Miami, history might have been different.

When Pat Riley saw Angel on TV again, he was overwhelmed with emotion. A few years ago, who could have guessed that Michael Beasley, who shocked the whole country, would be so down, and who could have guessed that a Chinese who was only selected with the 12th overall pick would now become the star of the Trail Blazers.

So not to mention the fans, even Pat Riley, the general manager, is looking forward to this game. In the end, who will survive his own Heat Big Three and Anjie, who missed back then, this answer even Pat Riley can't wait to know.

"Ann, we're okay, right?" lost to the Nuggets yesterday and will face the Heat today. Aldridge, even as the team's second-in-command, did not hide his concerns.

"Don't worry, let's fight LaMarcus, no matter how strong the Heat triumvirate is, they are also people. Just like us, they're going to miss shots, they're going to miss out, they're going to get a lot of money, and of course, they're going to eat my big hot pot. Speaking of this, An Jie smiled. But in the eyes of outsiders, An Jie's smile is not charming at all, but very hideous.

"Hey, Elvis, what about you, how are you?" Aldridge always felt at ease as long as Anjie stabilized the situation. He knows that An Jie is not the kind of person who just talks but doesn't do it. He was confident, and so was the Trailblazer.

"Don't worry about me, LaMarcus, you better think about how to deal with Bosh later!" Gerard Wallace shot nervously, and it was never easy to play against LeBron James.

"Just do your best, Elvis, don't make yourself nervous. What? You still want to keep a clean sheet against LeBron?" Anjie saw that Aldridge was already very relaxed, so he ran to pinch Gerard Wallace's shoulder again. He knew that if he wanted to win this game, he couldn't do it on his own. He has to adjust the condition of his teammates so that the Trail Blazers will have a better chance of winning.

The pre-game warm-up was over quickly, and it was probably the most serious pregame warm-up the Trail Blazers players have ever done this season.

On the opposite side, the Heat triumvirate approached the center circle, and just by getting close, these three people could exude a powerful aura. The rest of the Trail Blazers stood in place, but only An Jie greeted him alone.

"How is the kid, the legs are okay, right?" Wade asked about An Jie's injury in a friendly manner. Anjie failed to join the Heat that year, and Wade was also very regretful. He still remembers how good the young boy who came to the Heat team for a tryout was back then.

"It's not fully recovered, but it's enough to play this game! LeBron, didn't you say you're going to recruit me? Why did you come to Miami alone? After answering Wade, Anjie joked with James again. In this alliance, it seems that most people have a good relationship with An Jie. Except, of course, Stoudemire and David Lee.

"With you, Dwayne and I might be out of work. "James is now almost the number one in the league, but against Anjie, he didn't play big.

"Alright, no kidding. Hey, my brother and I will be hospitable to you today. I hope you have a great time in the Rose Garden. An Jie put away the hippie smiling expression and issued a serious warning to the Big Three.

"We're not going to be polite, if there's anything to entertain, let's take it all out!" Finally, Wade and James patted An Jie on the shoulder and retreated outside the center circle. Heat starting center Joe Anthony walked in and prepared to jump with Anjie.

"Do you know Joe, we'll fight later, you have to stay away!Otherwise, I'm afraid it will affect you" In the first second, An Jie decided to provoke his opponent. If the opponent can lose his mind, he will only benefit.

Joe Anthony didn't respond to Anjie, and he had to be careful not to foul him. In short, no matter what An Jie said today, he could only endure it! First of all, do a good job of jumping balls.

"Let's get started!" Pat Riley lit a cigar for himself. He's been a long, long time and hasn't been so looking forward to the start of a game.

The Trail Blazers, who have been rejuvenated this season, will be a tough battle against the big three of their great-sized giants. But for the fans, it's a great game not to be missed!

Time, let's go!
