"Coach George Ricard, the team has won 10 in a row. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Before the start of this season, not many people were optimistic about you at all. Do you think you've slapped those guys hard right now?" The focus of their interviews also fell on the center of the topic of ten consecutive wins.

George Ricard's temper has led to his bad reputation among the media, and this guy who swears his mother when he has nothing to do always makes reporters blushing and thick-necked, but he can't fight back. So now, this seemingly friendly but ill-intentioned journalist is also further provoking contradictions between him and other media outlets.

"Ten wins in a row is a good result and I knew we could do it before the season started. As for whether this counts as a slap in the face, I don't know. I never look at the nonsense of people who don't understand anything. So how ridiculous those ridiculous statements are, I don't quite know. Anyway, if we lose in the next game or the next game, and the winning streak is broken, there will be a group of people who will jump out and say bad things about us. It's really boring to comment on this group of people, they will always buzz around you like flies. Even if you have won the championship, people who are not optimistic about you are still not optimistic about you. This time Rickard didn't say a word dirty, but he belittled the media who were against him as useless.

An Jie on the side almost couldn't help laughing, Riccard's scolding skills are really no worse than his own back singles.

"You just talked about the championship, so coach, this season, will the championship be your goal?"

"You've got to be kidding me, we've been trying to win the championship all season. The reason why Anjie wanted to play in Portland in the first place was because he knew that we were a championship team worthy of the name! You are only now asking me if our goal was to win the championship, so what was our goal before? Was it to travel around the United States for free in the light of David Stern? Or to travel around the country one day at a time. Rickard mocked both journalists and the inhumane schedule of the NBA's shrunken season. Rickard was a mouthful of words when he was still in the NCAA, and he was even complained by the parents of the players for this. When it came to the NBA, a place with a global audience, Rickard thought he would be a little more restrained. But unexpectedly, the nature is difficult to change.

"Phew!" some reporters looked at Rickard with disdain, obviously it was after Anjie came that the Trail Blazers soared. Now, Riccard has portrayed the Trail Blazers before Anjie's arrival as a strong championship contender.

Of course, Riccard knew that the team had changed dramatically because of Anjie's arrival, but in the face of this group of media that was more poisonous than his mouth, Riccard was unwilling to give them good words.

Anyway, if this kind of thing is said and he is not responsible, Rickard will not worry about whether it is true or not. As long as the Trail Blazers have a bad performance, thinking about the nasty remarks in the newspapers, Rickard feels that there is nothing uncomfortable about what he said.

After winning 10 in a row, Anjie's signature shoes have finally made progress. Now Nike has made a few pairs of prototype shoes for Anjie to try on, don't you say, these prototype shoes Anjie is really more comfortable to wear than other shoes.

After all, this is a tailor-made sneaker for Anjie, and all the components are designed according to Anjie's height, weight and technical characteristics. These archetypes are very satisfying, but the only downside is that they still look too bulky like other center shoes.

But its chief designer smiled and waved at An Jie. "These shoes are still unrefined prototypes, and the main purpose is to try them on and see if they fit your needs on the court. In terms of styling, we will make great improvements in the future, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

"Comfortable is comfortable, but I want to increase the stability of the boot, and I need a good support point to protect me from injury when I am fighting for a rebound or a block and then landing on the ground. I don't think these sneakers have any advantage over other shoes in this regard. AnJie is becoming more and more aware of this team of Nike designers, so he will become more and more bold in making demands.

"Hmm......" The chief designer held his chin, and what An Jie just said didn't seem to be unreasonable. They put all the focus on lightness and compactness, but they neglected the first and most important point for the center, stability.

"Ann, what are you going to name your sneakers, Anjie Generation?" Looking at this pair of prototype shoes, the chief designer also felt that it was time to make the next step.

"It seems that the naming of basketball shoes can only be like this. An Jie thought about it, aren't the names of all the signed shoes the names of the players plus the algebra of the sneaker series?

"If you can......" However, Anjie found that the sneakers were named after him, which didn't seem so appropriate. These shoes not only belong to him Anjie, but also in this era of small ball, in this era of rampant outside, one of the few pairs of basketball shoes tailored for the center. He felt he should give the sneakers a bigger definition.

"Mr. Landry. An Jie, who was in deep thought, suddenly turned his head and called out the name of the chief designer of his sneakers.

"What, what do you have in mind?" Landry looked at An Jie with interest, although it was the first time to participate in the design of basketball shoes, many of An Jie's ideas were very interesting.

"Why don't we call it the Way of the Center?"

"Center? huh...... It's quite novel......" Landry looked at the excellent prototype in front of him with confidence, coupled with this novel name and Anjie's super popularity, the law that the center must lose when he comes out of his shoes will be broken......

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

The team is on a 10-game winning streak and has made great strides in signing shoes. During this time, Anjie's life can be described as very smooth, but all this smoothness is only short-lived. Before the end of the season, any victory will be wiped out in an instant. Just because you win now doesn't mean you can win later.

Not long after the joy, the Trail Blazers and An Jie once again devoted themselves to intense training.

On this day of tactical training, Riccard really put a lot of effort into it. Their offensive routines were the most drilled this season, and many people would confuse two similar tactical runs, resulting in the team repeating an unsuccessful tactical run over and over again.

"Don't be lazy, give me honest running tactics! I tell you, I don't care if we have a game to play tomorrow, I just know that if you don't know these tactics today, even if you practice until 12 o'clock at night, you have to continue to practice for me!" Ricard has never paid so much attention to the Trail Blazers' offensive tactics, one is because the Trail Blazers are a defense-oriented team. Second, it is because of the tactical conditions created by Anjie and Aldridge that they are enough to defeat most opponents.

But tomorrow, their opponents won't be defeated so easily. A complex tactical running plan is a necessity to deal with them!

"This is Portland, damn it, I could smell the blood in the air as soon as I got off the plane. "On the other side of the Portland International Airport, the next opponents of the Trail Blazers have just landed on Portland. A dark, strong player gulped in Portland's air, and he looked at the huge poster of Anjie, the butcher who made Portland a place that many NBA players didn't want to come to a second time.

"In the past, most of the time we came here to play was easy and enjoyable, but I didn't expect the league to change so quickly. Now Portland, I don't know how many teams have become a graveyard. A slightly shorter black player walked up to his teammate, and Anjie's huge poster may have been deliberately hung at the airport by the City of Portland. In this way, as soon as other teams land, they will immediately feel a lot of pressure.

"Don't worry, Tony, this won't be our graveyard. They've got to be able to break through our defense!" a tall white player patted the guy named Tony on the shoulder. He is the well-deserved core of this team, and he, like Anjie, is also a center forward!

"I believe in you, Mark, and I believe you can make Anjie very embarrassed. But I have to say, we'd better be careful. Tony Allen trusts his Spanish team-mate, but he also knows that the Chinese is no worse than Marc Gasol.

"Okay, let's go to the hotel and check in! No one can be weak in tomorrow's game!" said Lionel Hollins, the current Memphis Grizzlies coach who was the last to step off the plane. He shouted at his players to get out of the way, they had to take time to rest before they could make a splash the next day.

Yes, the next opponent of the Trail Blazers is the Memphis Grizzlies, who are also out of the mainstream and rely on the interior and defense, which are almost abandoned by the league, to play to the fourth place in the West!

The matchup between two teams with very similar styles and rankings is definitely enough to make the game extraordinary!

It's no wonder that Rickard paid so much attention to the pre-game offensive running drills, after all, ordinary offense can't break through the Grizzlies' black and white defense.

Third in the West and Fourth in the West, Inside and Inside, Defensive vs. Defensive. And, of course, the best part, the center and the center!
