Peggy covered her mouth with her hands, and before she knew it, tears were streaming down the corners of her eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Watching games on weekdays, Peggy will worry about those injured Trail Blazers players, but I didn't expect that my husband was among them today.

Ever since Rickard was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, Peggy has been worried about the yelling Rickard every game. But now, everything she feared has happened.

She immediately wiped away her tears and drove to the Moda Center. At the same time, the chaotic and tense atmosphere at the scene continued to heat up.

'Aldridge just came off and now we see ...... It seems that Coach Ricard also walked into the players' tunnel with the help of the team doctors!What happened to Coach Ricard?" Mike Brin looked nervously into the field, and it was not uncommon for players to leave the field injured in the middle of a game. But the coach quits halfway, which is really uncommon.

Normally, if a team's manager feels he is no longer fit to coach, he will take a leave of absence and inform the media. But Ricard is different, no one knew he had a physical problem, so now when he leaves the pitch, not to mention the fans and commentators, even Nell Orsi, who is the general manager, is very nervous.

"How's you doing, boss!?" Almost all the Trail Blazers players gathered around Ricard, after all, Anjie was the only one on this team who knew about Ricard. Seeing Rickard's sudden hemoptysis, although the amount was not much, it was scary enough.

"You guys give me a good fight! After LaMarcus is gone, Robin, you go up, I want you to put Duncan under more pressure on the defensive end! Vlad, the rest of the game is in command for you. Listen, give me my all! This game is undoubtedly a simulation of the playoffs that we did in advance!" It's like he didn't know he was sick, and if it weren't for his physical discomfort, he might have really made it through the whole game.

A few minutes later, through a series of chaotic events took place. The Trail Blazers, who were originally good, suddenly lost their All-Star coach and second leader.

Vlad Divac, a legendary former Kings center, has been an excellent tactical adviser and assistant coach. But the position of head coach is not so easy to sit in. Not everyone can make the jump from college to the NBA like Rickard. Suddenly Divac, who took over the reins of teaching, will definitely have a lot of discomfort.

With Rickard and Aldridge both hospitalized, the Trail Blazers players on the court were not interested in fighting. Instead of how to crack the Spurs' desperately solid offense, they're thinking about Ricard and Aldridge's injuries.

Popovich and the GDP trio were not to be taken lightly, and they seized the opportunity to launch an onslaught when the Trail Blazers were in turmoil. Robin Lopez is a good defender, but he still hasn't completely blocked Duncan's ability.

When Aldridge was there, although Aldridge couldn't guard Duncan, he and he were able to make up for the lost points on the offensive end.

When it came to Robin, the inside offense almost became An Jie's business alone.

Seeing that Robin Lopez did nothing on the offensive end, Divac replaced another long-term center, Anjie's "little brother" Meyers Leonard. Leonard's shooting ability is indeed much better than Robin's, and last summer, Leonard even developed a three-point shot.

But under Duncan's old and spicy defense, Leonard didn't be able to share too much pressure for Anjie after he came on the court.

The discomfort of suddenly losing a manager and an important core is not something that Divac can solve in two or three sentences.

The Trail Blazers still clung to the score with Anjie's efforts, but everyone could see that the Spurs had firmly controlled the situation on the court.

In the end, the Trail Blazers, who experienced Daiso, lost 111-107 at home to the Spurs. Although the Trail Blazers only lost by four points in such a difficult situation, it was really not easy. But no matter how much the difference is, a loss is a loss. For Anjie, there is not much difference between losing one point and losing ten.

After the game, An Jie hurriedly hugged Duncan and the others goodbye. He refused all media interviews, and even An Jie, a reporter sent by CCTV, ignored him.

Now he doesn't want to answer those boring questions, Aldridge and Ricard's injuries are Anjie's main concern.

In the past, it was Ricard who was worried about his injury. Anjie didn't expect that he would also worry about Riccard one day.

In the winter, it suddenly rained lightly in Portland, sleet and the road surface was particularly slippery.

Anjie had to slow down, he didn't want to be the third person to be injured because he was too anxious, and he was injured outside the basketball court.

The car radio has been broadcasting basketball-related programs, and there is no doubt that the game that has just ended has become the focus of discussion among the program hosts.

"You know what, Tony, counting the two games before the All-Star break, it's the longest three-game losing streak of the season for the Trail Blazers. I can't help but wonder, what happened to the unbeatable pioneer?" The radio host's words caught An Jie's attention, and An Jie also turned up the volume of the car radio.

"I don't know what's going on with the Trail Blazers, but I do know that the second half of the season will not be easy for the Trail Blazers. We don't yet know what the physical condition of LaMarcus and Coach Ricard is, and if it gets bad, it's definitely a big blow to the Trail Blazers!" replied the man, Toney.

An Jie sighed, though he usually didn't pay much attention to what these so-called "experts" said. But at least they are right, the next half of the season will be very difficult for the Trail Blazers.

Playoffs? But the Trail Blazers, whose record has changed to 36-6, have struggled to break the Bulls' record.

Besides, even if the damn 72-win record is left unaccounted for, if neither Ricard nor Aldridge returns before the playoffs, the Trail Blazers may not even be able to complete the task of defending the title.

After a season of hard work but empty-handed, this is an unacceptable ending for An Jie. Thinking of this, An Jie gritted his teeth. In any case, you have to carry the burden yourself!

By the time Angel arrived at the hospital, both Ricard and Aldridge were already lying in their beds.

Ricard was in better condition, and after coming to the hospital to take medication, his cough finally eased a lot. But the doctor also gave Riccard an ultimatum: "Get out of the basketball court and rest for a while." ”

This time, even Anjie won't persuade Ricard to come back. It's only when you see the danger of Ricard's breathlessness at the scene that you know how terrible this seemingly unserious illness is.

Peggy and Abidal's mother and daughter were anxious in the hospital room, and Angel was not bothered, so she said a few words to Ricard, and left the family of three alone.

After that, An Jie took the elevator to the 8th floor. There, Aldridge was doing some simple checks.

Previously, Aldridge averaged 23 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, all three of which were career highs for Aldridge. It is precisely because of this seemingly tepid big man that the Trail Blazers can now rank first in the league.

Seeing An Jie walk into the ward, Aldridge smiled at the comer.

Maybe a lot of players can't bounce back after an injury like this, but for someone like Aldridge, who has almost died once because of a heart problem, breaking a bone is a small thing.

"How does it feel?" said Angel picked up a bench and sat down beside Aldridge's bed.

"It doesn't hurt that much, but I still can't move. I'll have an MRI tomorrow, and hopefully it's okay. Where's the boss?"

His condition is now stable, but doctors say that the danger of hemoptysis causing difficulty breathing can recur at any time. So, they advised him to be hospitalized. ”

"The boss must not have agreed. Aldridge smiled, this coach's temper is more stubborn than Anjie.

"This time I can't help him, I can't help him, I can't help him. An Jie shook his head, how risky the profession of head coach is, An Jie knows very well in his heart. Otherwise, Van Gundy would not have chosen to retire now that the Thunder are in full swing. It was for the sake of his own body that Van Gundy switched to working as a commentator.

Rickard always thought he would be able to get through all the difficulties, but this time, no matter what, Anjie would convince Riccard to rest first. After all, he wanted to continue working with this guy for a long, long time.

Seeing An Jie's serious expression, Aldridge stopped joking. "If I and the boss are in a bad situation......"

"It's okay LaMarcus, trust me, I'll carry everything!" An Jie finished and stretched out a fist.

Carrying everything in the absence of a manager and a second leader and the team is on a three-game losing streak may sound like a reckless effort.

But Aldridge found that he had no way to doubt Anjie. He always believed that Anjie could turn the tide, and even if the situation was so bad now, he still believed that.

He was injured last year, Lillard was still immature, wasn't it because of Anjie's explosive performance that the Trail Blazers played a terrifying 27-game winning streak and 69 wins in the regular season?

In Game 7 of last year's Finals, the Heat and the Trail Blazers were inextricably matched, and in the end, Aldridge even released the baseline ball. Isn't it because Anjie scored that incredible goal that made the O'Brien Cup in Portland?

Thinking about all that Anjie had done, Aldridge was suddenly very relieved.

An Jie, it is precisely because he can always shoulder the responsibility that he is worthy of being a leader!

"I'm sure you will, Ann!" Aldridge also stretched out his fist and bumped into Angel's.

What makes a superstar a superstar? Because he can always complete challenges that others can't!

As long as An Jie is still around, no matter how bad the situation of the Trail Blazers is, he will not let his team fall!
