The big red headline "Defensive Player of the Year of the All-Time!" appeared on the major newsstands in the United States, and the San Antonio Post intends to tell all San Antonio fans around the world the news of the Spurs' 2-0 lead in a more eye-catching way.

"In terms of average blocks per game, Anbi is no better than Ibaka. Average rebounds per game, Ambi can't beat Howard and Love. Defensive efficiency?If this guy's defensive efficiency is really good, then how did we play our smooth offense? Maybe, after winning a Defensive Player of the Year, Ann's mentality started to swell, and he started to think that he was the best player in the league. But in my opinion, Ann's current performance is completely ineligible for the award, and the current 2-0 aggregate score is the best proof of this. "The San Antonio Post is sharp and unrelenting. No way, by the end of the regular season, the Spurs had already won ten in a row. Entering the playoffs so far, he has not tasted defeat. Their excellent performance is the biggest backstage of these hated media. Otherwise, if you ask the reporter who wrote this article to tout the Bobcats, you dare to bring him down, and he may not dare to write it.

After returning to New York after attending the fashion week performance, Catherine also saw this eye-catching red headline at a newsstand, and below the headline, it was accompanied by the angry expression of Anjie and the referee arguing.

An Jie has always been a master of provocation, he can make his opponent so angry that his face is red and his neck is thick, and he will not be affected by any kind of counterattack by the opponent. But this time, he was rarely completely enraged. But it wasn't the players on the field who angered him, it was the referee!

Fortunately, An Jie stopped in time yesterday, if the plot is too serious and he is banned for one game, then there will be no difference between the Trail Blazers and death.

Catherine almost covered her mouth and finished reading the article, because the news published by the San Antonio Post not only praised the Spurs, but also criticized Anjie for nothing. Even growing too tall was interpreted by them as a shortcoming.

I believe that An Jie himself has also seen a lot of such comments. Catherine, who was extremely worried, took out the phone and dialed An Jie.

However, I called several times, but the phone was not answered. At this time, there are countless people who call An Jie like Catherine.

An Jie lay on the wooden floor of the training ground of the Rose Garden Arena, staring blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling, letting sweat run down his ears.

The overwhelming news, newspapers and phone calls all upset An Jie. It was annoying enough to fall behind 2-0, but now a bunch of people are jumping out to say that they are not, and An Jie is not in the mood to answer the phone.

But this time, the caller was very persistent. An Jie thought that the caller would give up sooner or later, but the damn ringing rang for the sixth time.

An Jie picked up the phone, looked at the caller ID, and connected it without hesitation.

"I'm sorry baby, I was just training. An Jie didn't expect that the busy Catherine would call herself in the early morning, so she told a white lie, so as not to make Catherine think too much.

"Ann! you...... Are you okay?" Looking at the earpiece, Catherine didn't know how to comfort An Jie.

"Yes, great...... No, I'm not good, I've had a bad time lately, Catherine. An Jie found that this time, it was difficult for him to force a smile again.

"Those reports ......"

"That's all shit, I haven't seen any of it. An Jie looked around, but there were a lot of newspapers on the wooden floor that he called "shit".

How could it not be watched? How bad he played in these two games, An Jie himself knew very well. The first game was forced by Duncan to be inefficient, and although the second game improved, the thing that happened at the end also pushed An Jie to the forefront.

Now, apart from Portland and China, the whole world is waiting to see the joke of Anjie, the best defensive player. This is the first time that an Asian has won this honor. Even Yao Ming back then didn't do it. Therefore, while attracting much attention, the pressure on An Jie's back is even greater. He is now under the magnifying glass of fans all over the world, and the slightest mistake will be brought to the table to talk about.

After moving to the Trail Blazers, he finished fourth in the West, swept the Clippers, and won the Defensive Player of the Year. An Jie's 11-12 season is really too smooth, and many people who watch the excitement want to see this kid out of trouble once.

It was the first time that An Jie felt that the arrival of the next game would make people so anxious.

"It's time for the next game, it's time to go to Portland, right?" Catherine saw that An Jie was silent for a while, so she planned to find a new topic.

"That's right, our home ......" defended the home field, a word that put a lot of pressure on Anjie for the first time.

"I'll come and see you play, Ann. ”

"But you've just come back......"

"Don't say it, I'll come and see you play. I want to see how wrong these "shit" articles are!" Catherine spoke in An Jie's tone, making An Jie smile for the first time since last night.

"Do you want me to pre-order a No. 00 jersey for the Trail Blazers?"

"And, of course, the Trail Blazers' scarves, baseball caps, oh yes, you'll have to get me all the tickets for the front row seats. ”

"Alright, let's go book a flight. I think a lot of fans want to see how we lose tomorrow. Okay, I'm going to show you!" An Jie clenched his fists, these comments will become the most ridiculous words after tomorrow!

"Well, hey, you know, most people in this world, they don't know about you. Be yourself, what they like to say has nothing to do with who you really are. Catherine had just returned from Europe, and she had no rest to get her time off from New York to Portland. But in order to show her support for Anjie, even if it was a little hard, Catherine did not hesitate.

"Fool, am I the kind of fragile person? Okay, I've got to keep training. We'll talk again when we get to Portland. In the end, An Jie, as a young man, naturally took care of his own face. But now, all the negative news has brought to Anjie's pressure, and it has been swept away. At least he knew that it wasn't that the whole world didn't look favorably on him. There are always a few people who are willing to stand behind him.

As soon as they hung up the phone, the Trail Blazers players walked into the training ground one by one. It's almost time to train, so everyone is in place.

"Oh my God, what are you doing here?" Aldridge looked at the wooden floor, covered with newspapers, his eyes full of surprise.

"The best Defensive Player of the Year of all time? Can they think of such a cliché title? Oh my God, you don't really believe these stupid things they say. Marcus Camby picked up a random newspaper and flipped through it. An Jie, this kid, won't be hit.

"Not all of it. Anjie began to clean up the training ground that she had messed up and threw all the newspapers with the scary headlines into the trash.

"What does that mean?"

"Meaning, they should write in the newspaper that the best defensive player of all time is the best player of the year, and I guess they should have misspelled a word or something. The strongest is written as the most watery. Angel said, winking at Marcus Camby.

Camby also smiled and shook his head, it seemed that he was a little overly worried.

"What are you talking about?" Soon after, Riccard also stepped into the training ground with a briefcase. He also had a newspaper in his hand, and looking at the big red headline, Anjie could guess that it must be the damn San Antonio Post again!

"Ann is correcting a serious logical error?, don't you have a copy of the San Antonio Post with the wrong word?" Aldridge gestured to the newspaper that Ricard was tucking under his armpit.

"This?" Rickard pulled out the newspaper, and the bold red headline immediately appeared.

"I bought this for your training!" Ricard tore the newspaper in his hand into pieces, and then placed them on the floor according to a certain pattern, and glued them together.

An Jie felt that the scene in front of him seemed a little familiar, did Jeff Van Gundy also teach them in this way......

"Defense, let's practice defense today!" Sure enough, these scraps of paper were used by Ricard to mark the defensive position!

Although not as delicate as Jeff Van Gundy's paper, this simple and crude approach is more in line with Ricard's style.

"Playing against the Spurs, it's a mistake we've made for a long time. We've put so much energy into the offensive end. We were always thinking about how to pass, how to run, how to deal with Duncan and Dior's difficult guys. No, I've decided, let's not dwell on that now. Their defense makes us sad, and it's good, and we make them sad too!From now on, I want all of you to get into a state where defense is paramount!" Ricard finished, gesturing to the pieces of shredded paper he had pasted on the floor. The monstrous red headline in the San Antonio Post has been shredded in the training ground of the Rose Garden.

"These fragments represent the blind spots that we had in the first two games. The Spurs are a team that is particularly good at passing the ball, and their offense can be spread anywhere in the half, which is not something that can be contained by casual defense. What we need to do now is to close these defensive blind spots, and to do that, man-to-man defence is certainly not enough. The solution I came up with was to combine man-to-man defense with combined defense!" Ricard said, his hands clasped together hard.

The disadvantage of joint defense is that it is easy to shoot and the disadvantage of man-to-man is that the offensive side will get more space. But in order to contain the Spurs, fighting like a mad dog on the defensive end is something the Trail Blazers must do now!

Since the NBA has a three-second defense rule, the center can't stay under the basket all the time. In FIBA rules, the most important part of joint defense is the center blocked under the basket!

However, Ricard has confidence in Anjie, although he can't stay under the basket, he can use fast lateral speed and good defensive awareness to complete the defense under the basket in time. Ricard believes that Anjie is the best defender!

"Listen, Ann, your defensive range is under the basket! No matter how much Duncan and Dio pull apart, as long as they are out of your area, you don't have to pay attention. But for the rest of you, unless there's someone to defend in the area, you're going to have to stick to the opposition like a man-to-man defence!" Ricard knew that this combination of defending would be a serious test of the team's chemistry and physical strength. And in this way, their complexity on the offensive end will also be greatly reduced. After all, it is impossible for the players on the field to do everything at the same time.

In the previous two games, the Spurs' transmission and off-ball blocking caused them too much trouble. Although the Spurs will get more opportunities to shoot three-point after the joint defense, at least, Rickard is the most secure scoring means for the Spurs!

There is no such thing as a perfect tactic in this world, even the triangular attack of the Zen master back then, or the magnificent Princeton of Adelman, all have their corresponding shortcomings. But Ricard is willing to let Anjie take on a greater responsibility.

2-0, the Trail Blazers lost all two of their road games. In the playoffs, it's a really bad situation.

But even so, it doesn't mean the Trail Blazers will give up. They are a team that is bigger than an individual, and Anjie is a player who is suitable for surviving in the Ricard system!

"Okay, I know your brains are running out! That's why I'm putting marks on the floor! Let's take our time, practice slowly. Until this half-court defensive blind spot, it has become a minimum!" Rickard blew the whistle from his pocket before he could enter the office to put his bag away.

The Trail Blazers players split into two groups and took their places.

Well, maybe the whole world thinks that the Trail Blazers have lost, and the whole world thinks that Anjie has been revealed.

But as the pioneer and An Jie who are the center of the topic, they don't plan to go with the flow!

Sweat, that's the only thing you would have in a rose garden today!
