Now, the whole world is overwhelmingly lamenting Carter's aging. The whole world is also talking about Anjie's volleyball hat against Monta Ellis in the last moments.

But in An Jie's eyes, now, his world is only Catherine and the child in her belly.

The sense of belonging to the family is something that everyone needs urgently when they reach a certain stage. For Anjie, she already has a wife and will have children soon, but she can't be with them all the time. Such a situation will make Anjie need this sense of belonging more than anyone else.

When she's with Catherine, he can pretty much leave basketball behind, even now that the playoffs are in full swing.

"Oh, oh my God!" An Jie held an umbrella just as Catherine stepped into the hotel lobby, and Catherine suddenly shouted in surprise.

"What's the matter!?" An Jie immediately went up to help, and even a few hotel waiters in the lobby nervously surrounded him.

If An Jie's wife does something to them, I'm afraid these waiters will all be fired.

"Baby he...... He's moved!" Catherine's expression changed from horror to laughter. "You know what, Ann is moving! This is the first time I've felt him move!"

The expressions of the hotel waiters relaxed, and An Jie squatted on the ground, pressing her ears against Catherine's stomach.

This may be the reaction that every man will have, but it is obvious that An Jie is unlikely to hear anything.

"Mr. An, I suggest you go back to your room and rest. A smiling professional woman stood solemnly in front of Mr. and Mrs. Anjie, who was the lobby manager of the hotel.

"Okay, thanks for the concern. An Jie had a happy smile on her face, I don't know if it was because she won the competition, or because of Catherine and her own children......

Back in the room, Anjie and Catherine kissed passionately. The two couples who haven't seen each other for so long naturally miss each other very much.

Catherine began to look at An Jie's head, and when An Jie was knocked to the ground by Bogutra, the pain was in An Jie's flesh, but the injury was in Catherine's heart.

In fact, An Jie plays in the NBA, and every action that hits An Jie is equivalent to hitting Catherine's heart. Every time Angel is violated, Catherine's heartbeat suddenly accelerates with nervousness.

But Catherine never complained, just silently endured the pressure. Because she knew that if she chose such a man, she had to support him. Catherine can't let her worries and tears become something that An Jie has to worry about on the field.

Angel took Catherine's hand off her head and held it tightly in her big hand.

"Don't worry about me, baby. I said that I would let you have a healthy husband and let your children have a healthy father, and I will definitely do it, and I will never break my word!"

"I knew you would, and from the day you won the championship and proposed to me, I knew you were going to keep all the promises you said. Catherine let go of her coldness on the catwalk, and her gentle eyes may only be seen by the bearded man and An Jie.

"Take a shower and rest Catherine, it's getting late. ”

"You too, my beast......"

Catherine must have returned, which is why Anjie left in a hurry last night. Rickard could tell this from Angel's radiant expression.

Of course, almost all the players had a smile on their faces today. Because of the first round of the playoffs, they passed without danger.

That's right, it's really only 3-0 on aggregate. The Trail Blazers still need one more win to qualify for the next round.

However, when the game came to this point, even Nowitzki himself probably didn't believe that he could make history and complete the comeback from 3-0 down.

The gap between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers is huge, with the Trail Blazers being the best team in the NBA this season, and the Mavericks just catching up with the eighth place in the West on the last train of the playoffs.

Now Riccard is more concerned about the Rockets and Clippers than the Mavericks.

Currently, the Clippers are temporarily leading with a 2-1 aggregate score. But Ricard can see that the Clippers have never really had the advantage.

On the Rockets' side, due to injuries and the lack of strength of the bench players, McHale only has eight players who can participate in the rotation. In a high-intensity competition like the playoffs, the eight-man rotation is not something that can be persevered by gritting your teeth.

Look at the way Harden almost collapsed after each game, and you can see how inhumane such a game is for the Rockets.

But the more he researched it, the more Rickard felt that the Rockets and Clippers weren't as powerful as they seemed.

The Clippers' bench weakness and defensive mess have not been resolved much compared to last year. On the Rockets' side, Rickard is reluctant to question McHale's coaching ability. But from the video of the game, he couldn't see what McHale brought to the Rockets.

In key moments, it is usually Harden and Howard who each solve the problem with a single game. It's hard for such a team with an immature system to last long in the playoffs.

In this way, the only two teams in the West that still pose a threat to the Trail Blazers are the Thunder and Spurs.

"Boss, this isn't a video of the Mavericks' game, right?" Anjie's sudden voice startled Ricard.

"Scared the hell out of me!, isn't the training over?" Ricard, who was sitting in his office, looked at his watch.

"Hehe, it's time to rest, I'll come and see you. An Jie said, leaning his head in front of the screen.

"The Rockets and the Clippers, I'm working on our next opponent. ”

"If I had to choose, I'd rather go with the Rockets. Because in this way, they are left with only Harden as the scoring point. "The current Anjie will not threaten Howard out of position at all.

"Hopefully, Dwight has been doing a great job in the playoffs, and I'm afraid you'll be able to play against him. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, boss. No matter what opponent we meet, we will break them one by one!" Anjie gave a thumbs up to Rickard, whether it was the Rockets or the Clippers, just let it go!

On April 28, 2014, it was still the American Route Center Arena in Dallas. Today, Mavericks fans are noticeably less excited than they were in the last game. And Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks sitting in the audience, has also been keeping a face.

After all, it is not pleasant to have a person to wait for failure to come. If nothing else, this will be the Mavericks' last performance on their home court this season.

Nowitzki waved his hand to greet the fans in the stands, the last game, even if you lose, you have to hold your head up and lose!

As soon as the game began, it was clear that the Mavericks had all but given up their resistance.

The simple tactics, the careless movements, the thoughtless shots...... Maybe now, Monta Ellis is thinking about where he's going to play next season, maybe Hellam Porter is thinking about whether he's going to play for an extra year, maybe Calderon is thinking about where he's going on vacation. But regardless, Ricard could see that no one on the Mavericks roster was thinking about how to win the game.

Ellis, who caused a lot of trouble for the Trail Blazers in the last game, started with a desperate throw, and perhaps, this guy also hopes to use this last game to brush up the stats.

What about Nowitzki? The Germans were enjoying the game. He doesn't care if he wins or loses, and he can't afford to care. Nowitzki only wants to do what he wants on the basketball court, so his shooting percentage was frighteningly low at one point.

The Mavericks' best performance of the game was DeJuan Blair, a short center who was once a Spurs foul and now a little fat and didn't look like a professional athlete.

This guy scored 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting today, which can be said to have made An Jie "suffer".

There is no way, who made An Jie not bother to jump at all when facing Blair? If it weren't for luck, Blair really wouldn't have been able to score.

As for Vince Carter, this guy is the most active guy on the Mavericks roster today. After losing the last game, Carter kept asking himself, "Am I still useful?"

In order to find out, Carter also made crazy shots today, especially from beyond the three-point line.

However, Carter's 2-of-9 shooting percentage still made him a big slap in the face from reality.

Carter is undoubtedly still useful, and if he could, Anjie would even consider signing Nelsey with the highly responsible veteran. It's just that now his use can no longer be compared with the past.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, some fans were already leaving. This is the end of the Mavericks' journey this season, and if you want to watch the game, let's come back next season.

When the red light on the rebound came on, Catherine and Aldridge's mother, who were sitting in the luxury box, applauded happily.

Due to their respective physical reasons, both Anjie and Aldridge did not want their beloved woman to squeeze around in the stands. And this easy victory also made the two women in the box feel extremely comfortable.

After the game, Anjie, who scored 28 points, and Aldridge, who scored 20 points, waved in the direction of the luxury box.

See, your men, you've won another great battle!

98-85, the Trail Blazers won a game in Dallas without suspense. The Mavericks were also officially eliminated with a score of 4-0.

"Enjoy your holiday, Dirk, you'll need a better helper next season!" Anjie hugged the kind German goodbye after the game.

"Don't envy me, I'll continue watching your game on the beach with a drink. Nowitzki's mentality is much better than Anjie imagined, and even if he is swept away, he can still make jokes.

After all, for a veteran who has been in the league for 16 years and won a championship, what frustration and joy is there that he has not tried?

Easily advanced to the second round, and the strength of the Trail Blazers has been fully revealed. The Trail Blazers are not a regular season team, and 72 wins are not good luck, but hard work!

Next, they will also face stronger opponents.

Rockets, Clippers, Thunder, Spurs, or the Heat and Trail Blazers in the East?

Whoever it is, let it go! The defending champion will break down all obstacles one by one!
