I don't know where the reporters got the news, but once they got back in Portland, the Trail Blazers players found that there were a lot of reports about Aldridge's injury. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Heart problems erupted, LaMarcus . Aldridge will be out of action indefinitely. ”

"There was a near-miss on the pitch, and Aldridge escaped with his life. ”

"The press conference will be held this afternoon, and we will be waiting to see what Aldridge's condition will be. ”

The lines of scary words caught An Jie's eyes, but this time he really hoped that these were scandals in the newspapers. It's a pity that this time, they are reliable.

In today's training, Ricard's first task is to select an interior player who can replace Aldridge as a starter. He used J . J . Hickson and Leonard partnered with Anjie, and although both performed well, the team's tactical richness was greatly reduced.

In the end, Rickard decided to use Hickson in the starting four position, so that Anjie would have a lot less pressure on the defensive end. Leonard has the advantage of height and range, but his performance is still not as stable as Hickson, who entered the league in the same year as Anjie.

In the afternoon, the Trail Blazers officially held a press conference in the media reception room as promised, and the main content of it was naturally to announce Aldridge's injury. When Rickard said Aldridge had a heart problem, the reporters below were not surprised. Perhaps they learned the details yesterday even before Ricard and Anjie themselves.

"Seriously, it's scary. But the good news is that Aldridge's situation is not that bad at the moment, and the doctors will test the results before we can make a comeback plan for LaMarcus. So now, all we can do is to give him an indefinite suspension. ”

After the press conference, many programs also discussed Aldridge's injury. Because Aldridge's injury this time is not as simple as breaking a bone, it is a heart! Just like Mourning back then, this special injury will definitely cause a lot of discussion in the league.

"There's nothing to worry about, in fact the heart is already an old problem that has plagued Aldridge. He was treated for atrial fibrillation in April 2007 and missed only the remaining nine games of the season. In December 2010, he encountered the same problem again and was treated again. And that time, just ten days later, Aldridge returned alive. Therefore, an indefinite truce is just an exaggerated term. ”

Some people are optimistic, then there are naturally others who are pessimistic.

"Reggie . Lewis, Larry . The Celtics' number one star after Bird is also the owner of the No. 35 jersey that now hangs over TD's North Shore Garden Arena. Honor for this guy, I don't want to repeat it again. The point is that the hope of the Green Shirt's rise was a heart attack caused by an overloaded heart attack during a general training session on July 27, 1993, and eventually died, and he died at the age of 27. Lewis's death kept the Celtics out of the slump until the Big Three era. In order to avoid a recurrence of Lewis's tragedy, I think people should take responsibility for LaMarcus's injury! Lewis's appearance!"

The discussion about Aldridge has been a hot topic for the past few days, and people are not worried about the Trail Blazers, but worried about another tragedy on the basketball court. In any case, whether Ricard, Anjie and Aldridge themselves like it or not, his decision to suspend the war indefinitely is unshakable. All the Trail Blazers have to do now is do everything they can to continue to thrive without Aldridge.

On December 8, the Trail Blazers, who finally returned to their home court, met the old enemy King. Since Anjie and Cousins both ended their matchup in dramatic fashion last time, this match has also been talked about by people for a long time.

However, this time, the duel was not as exciting as people imagined. Perhaps because he was too anxious to teach Anjie some lessons, the hot-headed Cousins was reckless in the three-second zone that Anjie guarded. He did score a few spectacular goals with that drive, but in a team-high 17 shots, Cousins hit just a few that were too paltry.

Facts have proved that the basket guarded by Anjie is inviolable. Even Cousins, a skilled and physical interior player, could only shoot 35 percent from the field under Anjie's defense. For an interior player to shoot just 35 percent, it's an absolute disaster.

While Anjie restrained Cousins badly, the excited Kings also caused a lot of trouble for the rest of the Trail Blazers.

Due to Aldridge's absence, the Kings' interior can be reckless against Anjie. Therefore, Anjie also needs more support from his teammates on the offensive end. As a result, more shots than before were assigned to others, but in the face of this sudden change, others did not seem to be prepared.

Lillard is considered to be the most proud assistant by Angel's side after Aldridge's truce. But today, for the first time, he took on the responsibility and played the worst performance in history with just 4 of 13 shots. On the Kings' side, except for Cousins, everyone else took advantage of this excitement to play well.

Except for An Jie, the Trail Blazers' performance is really not good. The overall shooting percentage is only 38%, and it is very difficult to win with such a shooting percentage.

In the end, the Kings won a miraculous 99-96 victory over the Trail Blazers on the road. Although Cousins has completely fallen, the Trail Blazers are not much better than Cousins except for Angel.

An Jie scored 36 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, which can be said to have abused his old rival Cousins so much that he couldn't find the north, but in addition to An Jie's 36 points, the Trail Blazers only Iguodala's 14 points was the second highest score on the team. Losing to a king who performed well was a matter of course.

Seeing that the Trail Blazers are on the verge of completing a ten-game winning streak, they are now planting a trail on the Kings. The Trail Blazers lost the first game Aldridge was absent from, which made the media and public opinion push Aldridge and the Trail Blazers to the sky.

"LaMarcus is the real heart of the Trail Blazers!"

"Top 10 problems for the Trail Blazers without Aldridge!"

"The sprint is over! The Trail Blazers are about to be in big trouble!"

On weekdays, the low-key Aldridge is always so inconspicuous. But it was only after losing him that people realized how important Aldridge was to the team.

Rickard hasn't perfected all of the team's tactics since the absence of Aldridge, and the Trail Blazers players haven't gotten used to this very different way of playing. It can be said that in addition to Anjie, Aldridge's tactical status in this team is the highest. Without him, a lot of things would have had to start all over again.

Aldridge also called Ricard more than once to say that he was fully recovered. Of course, neither the team doctor nor Ricard will allow him to come back. Light, Aldridge fell to the ground again at most. It's serious, it's a matter of life safety!

In this incomplete lineup, on December 10, the Trail Blazers welcomed the challenge of the Raptors at home.

In this game, Anjie scored 30 points again, and the Trail Blazers also won. But it was clear that the Trail Blazers weren't adept enough to execute a lot of new tactics during the game. The reason why the Raptors lost the game was simply because they were not strong enough. In addition to DeMar . In addition to DeRozan's 24 points, the Raptors' second scorer was Spanish guard Jose. Calderon. However, Calderón's second-highest score is only 12 points.

74-92, the Trail Blazers "slaughtered" the Raptors without Aldridge. But Ricard knows that the team's problems have not been completely solved.

Sure enough, just two days later, the Trail Blazers lost at home to the Western giants Spurs, who had a full roster. Hickson's inaction on the offensive end made Anjie miserable to be limited by Duncan and Split.

Lillard scored 29 points as a rookie, but how can he match GDP with just one rookie?

98-90, the Spurs achieved a regular season double against the Trail Blazers. They are also the only team so far to beat the Trail Blazers twice in a row on the road.

Dropping two games in seven days is an extremely abnormal performance for the Trail Blazers. Although the Trail Blazers' current record of 18-4 is still proud, Ricard knows that if he doesn't improve something, the Trail Blazers' losing games will only "rub" up.

It seems that an important tactical pivot is missing, and there are some things that must be overturned and restarted......

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

After the loss to the Spurs, the Trail Blazers got a rare two-day break. Ricard was on the side of the training pitch at the moment, watching the players training on the pitch. He decided to use these two days to find a new system for the Trail Blazers!

The biggest problem now is that An Jie, the leading star, will always be defended by the opponent's desperate package. As a result, although An Jie can still rely on his personal ability to get high scores, the offensive fluency of the entire team has been greatly affected.

This season, thanks to the addition of Lillard and others, Anjie can finally devote himself to scoring on the offensive end. He's been averaging a noticeable decrease in assists per game this season, and it's because of those ancillary jobs that others have done for him. All he has to do is catch the ball and hit the frame.

But now, Ricard has found that without Aldridge, Anjie has received a lot less support. Without Aldridge's containment, Anjie would have had little to say. And Lillard is not the kind of traditional point guard, and when Anjie is trapped, it is difficult for him to get the ball into Anjie's hands.

He's a three-point shooter, and Iguodala and Batum are thieves with passes, but there's one thing, passing is a pass, and a good pass doesn't mean it's a good organization.

Without good containment and organization, the Trail Blazers' fluid offense can't return. Without a fluid and efficient offense, the Trail Blazers would have lost more balls.

The idea is clear, and right now, Ricard needs someone who can both pass the ball and play. He looked at Fischer, who was very experienced and had a great ability to organize attacks. But it's still too risky to let such an old guy who is older than himself play the starter. Forget it, that's just going to make the Trail Blazers' offensive firepower less damaging

Who else? Riccard looked at Divac and saw that Divac was also looking at him.

"You can't be what I think, are you?" Divac laughed.

"Although this will make Anjie's threat and stats drop in terms of scoring, I think it can only be done like this. Rickard also guessed Divac's mind, because Anjie's beautiful passing and playmaking skills were learned from Divac!

Instead of letting Anjie passively wait to be helped, let him be the one who controls the ball and helps the team!

I believe that many people are about to forget this scene under An Jie's indiscriminate bombardment of the basket this season......

Sacrifice a certain amount of personal score to increase the chances of others. Now, not all of the team's leading stars are willing to do this kind of work.
