Chapter 734: The Reaper

After An Jie broke Lefou's 53-game double-double record and became the first person in the NBA, with a good mood, the day after the game, An Jie invited the whole team to have dinner at home, which can be regarded as taking everyone to have a serious Spring Festival.

An Jie's teammates naturally did not refuse the invitation of the locker room boss, and An Jie's family cooked deliciously, which is a well-known thing within the Trail Blazers. It's too late for these guys to have a chance to eat a good meal.

"Damn, what is this? What is this?" Iguodala was dumbfounded as he looked at a table of dishes he had never seen before. He originally thought that the Chinese would cook dumplings and eat them for the New Year. But now Iguodala has found that he still thinks too much about the creative ability of the Chinese.

Before the dishes were ready, some dishonest guys secretly ate them with their hands. When the bearded man brought a large plate of beautiful and delicious braised lion heads to the table, this group of "hungry wolves" finally couldn't help it.

Whether they use chopsticks or not, these guys are all picked up randomly. Meyers Leonard even used chopsticks as a fork to poke food.

"Mom, I'll just say, you don't have to worry about not being able to eat all these things. Looking at his teammates who were gobbling up at the dinner table, An Jie couldn't help but smile.

"That's it, Auntie, don't worry, we will eat all the food and live up to your wishes!" Even Aldridge, who is usually more reserved, is completely free to eat today.

This group of big bosses is really not polite to An Jie.

After dinner, everyone chatted casually in groups of three or five. An Jie's house is big enough that even if the whole team is crammed in, it won't feel too crowded.

An Jie, who was originally helping Catherine clean up the dishes, was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by someone, and An Jie turned his head to see that it was Ricard.

"Can you come out and talk to your man? Rickard deliberately bowed to Catherine as if he were an old-school gentleman.

"Come on, let's go to the balcony and talk. An Jie's eyes were full of contempt, don't look at this guy who is polite now. But in reality, Ricard is definitely a fake rogue.

The two walked through the bustling living room to the windy balcony.

Rickard couldn't help but wrap himself in his clothes, and Anjie instinctively clasped his hands around his chest.

"What's the matter? It's so mysterious. Angel leaned his back against the balcony fence, and Ricard was lying on top of it facing the fence.

"It's nothing, I just want to talk. This summer...... A lot of people are going to renew their contracts. Ricard said, lighting a cigarette for himself. Since having a daughter, he has fewer and fewer opportunities to smoke at home.

"Yes, in a blink of an eye, many people's contracts have been fulfilled. Angel didn't seem to have heard Ricard's concerns.

"Everybody has done really well over the last few years and I'm sure all of them will have a pretty big pay increase when their contracts expire. ”

Batum has been clamoring for a salary increase for a long time, and now he can get his wish. Angel smiled at Ricard, but he noticed that Ricard's expression was very serious.

"That's right, almost everyone's wages are going up. But have you ever wondered, Ann. The league's salary space regulations may not allow us to meet everyone's requirements and conditions. ”

"What do you mean ?......"

"I would say that the group of guys who are in the same room with us right now, this summer, will probably leave a part of it. Ricard turned and looked at the group with reluctance.

This year's Portland Trail Blazers are perhaps the strongest in history. Whether it's a starter or a substitute, the mix of personnel is very reasonable. Moreover, after this group of guys is combined, the dressing room atmosphere is also very harmonious.

Hopefully, the Trail Blazers will be able to complete a three-game winning streak this year, and Ricard knows that the ruler of the NBA league will not always be the Trail Blazers. Maybe after this year, the Trail Blazers will really change a lot.

"Who knows what will happen in the future? This alliance is like this, I have long been used to the comings and goings of my teammates. Don't worry, no matter what, this year, we must create a dynasty!" An Jie did not think as much as Ricard thought, grasping the moment, this is what An Jie is most concerned about now.

Maybe this summer, because of the renewal issue, there may really be a lot of people who will leave. But it's useless to worry about that now, because the players are going and staying, which is something that belongs outside the basketball court. And things off the basketball court, Anjie and Ricard can't control.

While Angel and Ricard were talking, Aldridge suddenly pushed open the balcony door and stuck a head out of the room.

"It's getting late, everyone is ready to go back, do you want to come along?" Aldridge pointed to Ricard's watch, which was already nine o'clock in the evening. Tomorrow, the Trail Blazers have games to play at home. The players need to rest early and not play too late.

Ricard looked at Anjie, who nodded lightly at his manager.

"Then I'll go, you can rest early, tomorrow's game, you can't take it lightly. Rickard patted Angel on the shoulder and joined the crowd.

Anjie and Catherine walked to the door to see their teammates off one by one, and only turned around and returned until their car's taillights were completely engulfed by the darkness in the distance.

Anjie has been reminiscing about his conversations with Ricard, who and Trail Blazers general manager Nell Orsi were the closest to each other. He is well aware of what the team's next signings will be.

And so far, the Trail Blazers have not extended the contracts of any expiring players early, not even Aldridge and Lillard.

Perhaps Ricard is right when he says that this time next year, the Trail Blazers are likely to turn out to be a disgrace.

But then, An Jie smiled to himself. At least now, this Trailblazer team is still the strongest Trailblazers team in history!

The 14-15 season isn't over yet, wait until you win the championship this season, and then think about other things!

"Defend, defend, defend!" Moda Center, Portland, Feb. 22. After a peaceful night at Anjie's house, the Trail Blazers met the Memphis Grizzlies on their home court.

At this moment, it was the Trail Blazers' defensive round. The fans shouted so loudly that they didn't care if their voices were hoarse. This group of fanatical guys just wants to let off steam.

Zach Randolph received a pass from Xiaoli, and seeing that Anjie was still two steps away from him, Randolph did not hesitate and directly pulled up and throw.

However, the moment Randolph threw the basketball just now, he regretted it. This "black bear" didn't expect that An Jie's ability to move was so strong! Just now, he was two steps away from him, but now he actually stepped in front of him!

An Jie stretched out his arm as best he could, and his fingers rubbed against the basketball that was flying towards the basket.

The trajectory of the basketball was completely changed by Anjie, and the basketball eventually fell directly into Aldridge's hands.

The fans in the Moda Center all stood up and cheered, because that was Anjie's 10th block in this game!

"Ann, his record is still rising! Only God knows, when this Chinese will stop! Let's congratulate him, Ann's record, maybe no one will be able to break it for many years!" Jeff Van Gundy cheered with the fans in the Moda Center, although not under his own hands. But seeing that his former beloved apprentice was so good, Van Gundy was equally proud in his heart.

Anjie's block made the offense of the "Black and White Bears" miserable, and Grizzlies' starting small forward Jeff Green couldn't believe that he could be exchanged with a guy like Anjie at the same price!

98-105, in the end, the Trail Blazers continued their winning streak at home. Even though the Grizzlies are already a huge force in the West, the Trail Blazers still win easily.

In the final six days of February, the Trail Blazers have two games to play. These two opponents are the Clippers, who are fourth in the West, and the Celtics, who are seventh in the East.

As everyone expected, the Trail Blazers both passed, and Anjie continued to write his own record of two consecutive doubles. 51-5 and a double-double in 57 consecutive games.

It seems that the title of Western Conference Player of the Month in February is once again none other than Anjie. If Anjie can continue to play like this until April, then Anjie will accomplish a feat in addition to two consecutive doubles, that is, to win all the Western Conference Player of the Month awards this season!

The terrifying Trail Blazers No. 00 has begun to pick up the scythe to reap the honor, don't grab it, all the trophies are mine!

The unstoppable month of February is behind us, and with a month and a half to go, the regular season of the season will be over.

When the final game of the regular season is over, the Trail Blazers and Anjie will definitely deliver a surprising answer.

belongs to Anjie's era, basketball, is so crazy......
