Chapter 378: The Eve of the Great War
"Pooh, it's full of reporters outside, are you sure you're going out now?" a blonde woman with some hair and some hair brushes her dishes, generally asking her husband, whose long hair is about to reach to his shoulders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No way honey, I don't want to leave home now, but I have to rush to LAX. The team should be almost there, and as a manager, I don't want to be late. Vinnie De Nagro, the coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, smiled kindly at his wife. The regular season ended yesterday, but today, De Nagro had to leave home and travel with his team to a place that wasn't pretty. And that place was the first stop on their playoff journey!
"I'll be at home watching you guys play. ”
"Well, I'll be back here with good grades, don't worry, I've got the security guards in place, and they'll make sure that the reporters and bad guys stay away from you these days. With that, De Nagro looked at his child, who was still lying in the crib.
"Okay, I really have to go, you know, traffic in Los Angeles is always a headache. De Nagro picked up his luggage, kissed his wife and children, and pushed the door open.
Seeing De Nagro walk out of the house, a bunch of reporters immediately surrounded him. Although the Los Angeles Lakers have always been the darlings of the media, the strong performance of the Clippers this season has also made De Nagro a key target for reporters. After all, having both teams in a city make the playoffs at the same time is a remarkable achievement.
"I hear your goal is to make it to the Western Conference Finals!
"How is Chris Paul in shape and what role do you think he will play in the playoffs. ”
"Hey, Coach, let's talk about Portland!"
De Nagro didn't want to answer the reporters' questions because he was really going to be late. But in his ears, he seemed to hear the word Portland. So De Nagro turned around and looked for the reporter who asked him questions.
"Mr. Coach, tell us about the Clippers' playoff opponents, the Portland Trail Blazers!" a tall, lanky black reporter walked through the crowd to De Nagro, knowing that De Nagro heard him.
"The Trail Blazers are strong, even though they dropped one spot to fourth in the West in the final month of the regular season. But I think they're on par with the San Antonio Spurs, who are number one in the West. But ......" said Denagro, revealing his white teeth. "However, we will still make it to the next round with a victory!"
The reporters were excited, and Denagro was not as hot-tempered as George Carr and Popovich. But what he said just now is definitely enough for reporters to use the topic to play!
Fourth in the West vs. Fifth in the West, the closest matchup in the rankings. The opponent of the Clippers is none other than the Portland Trail Blazers. And what Denagro is about to fly to now is the City of Tears!
....................
"Brother, you're so tall! I know, you're the butcher who sells pork on TV. On the Portland Trail Blazers' training ground, everyone gathered around an "uninvited guest." And this outsider, in a slow tone, looked up at An Jie and said something that made everyone present laugh.
"Who told you that I was a butcher who sold pork?" An Jie asked rhetorically.
"It's the fat bald uncle who often appears on TV. The childish voice resounded in the audience again, and she must have said Charles Barkley.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, my brother is not a butcher who sells pork, my name is An Jie, what about you?"
"My name is Abigail Ricard. The little girl in front of her said her name seriously, and the tall and strong man next to her couldn't scare her at all. No way, who made her that man's child? George Ricard, who is not afraid of anything.
"Abigail, why are you running here!" Ricard's voice entered the crowd from the gate of the training ground, and the little girl heard it and immediately ran towards her father.
"Mom is gone, so I'll come here to look for it. ”
"Your mother just went to the toilet, and she explained it so well that you waited for her at the toilet door. Rickard picked up his dear baby, and it was his wife and this little guy who colored his tense and boring life.
"Hey, hey. Seeing that her lie had been exposed, the little girl didn't know how to defend it, so she had to laugh and stick out her tongue.
"Little one, you can't come here in the future! This is where uncles and dad work. After that, Rickard's wife also rushed into the training ground. She took the daughter from Ricard's arms, but she didn't go to the toilet just now, she just hid it to see how the mischievous little creature would react. Unexpectedly, her keen sense of smell actually allowed her to find the basketball court. Maybe this little girl, like her father, has basketball blood in her veins!
"Alright, let's say goodbye to everyone, we have to go out and wait for Daddy. ”
"Goodbye, uncles, goodbye, Dad. Goodbye, butcher selling pork. ”
"Hahaha, Ann, I think she hasn't watched your show less!" Aldridge has been sprouted by Abigail, but Ann Jie is thinking, if this little girl's personality is the same as Ricard in the future, it will be ......
The first female head coach in NBA history......? It's not out of the question.
"Alright guys, it's fun time, let's get down to business!" Riccard clapped his palms and shouted as the mother and daughter walked out of the training ground.
Just now, Ricard was a gentle father and husband. But now, his identity has changed to the fiery leader who is full of swear words and disrespectful words.
"Do you know where we're going to be in the playoffs?" Ricard asked knowingly.
"Los Angeles Rafts!" the Trail Blazers replied in unison.
"That's right! Fuck the Los Angeles Clippers! We just took a nap and fell to fourth in the West, and these guys thought they were on the same level as us, what a joke! I hope they've been in Portland for a few days, and you've been able to prove who the fuck is the top team!" Rickard immediately got into shape, swear words after swearing.
Rickard was right, dropping to fourth in the West in the last month. It's hard to tell if Ricard did it on purpose. If the Trail Blazers end up in third place, they will meet the Grizzlies, who are very defensive.
Thinking about the aftermath of Anjie's bloody battle with the Grizzlies during the regular season, Rickard definitely didn't want to meet the Grizzlies too soon. And the Los Angeles Clippers. Although they have Chris Paul, this is a bigger opponent than the Grizzlies!
"Everything has changed from today guys. Every opponent will spare no effort to attack us. Everybody, we want to be out early. Why? Because they're afraid, afraid that we're messing up their good deeds! What we're going to do is put up a more ferocious and better performance than we did in the regular season! Now, everybody warms me up well! Don't think I'm going to keep training down in front of a big game! Prepare well, we're going to run tactics today!" Ricard knows that as a team-oriented team, the Trail Blazers' players are very skilled in their tactical movement and are a top priority.
As for another important point, Ricard set his sights on the training ground. That guy's figure can always catch your eye at once, because his height of 2.19 meters is really outstanding.
Didn't Rickard discover this genius on the field because of this......
Another focus of the Trail Blazers in addition to tactics is Anjie. But Ricard is not worried about Anjie's performance and state at all. He knows Anjie, so he knows that he can trust Anjie.
Why is he so confident in beating the Clippers, because he has enough players at his disposal to beat strong opponents!
....................
"The situation in the West is still tense, and the Spurs have an excellent record of 50 wins and 16 losses in this shrinking season, which is even better than the Heat!"
"Don't be Spurs Spurs Kenny all day, let's see how about fourth in the West? 46-20, with one more win, they can overtake the Lakers to become third in the West. This is an absolute horror for the Trail Blazers. Why? Because last year, the Trail Blazers, who played 82 games, only had 48 wins! This year, they only played 66 games, and they won 46 games. And the biggest change for the Trail Blazers is the addition of Ann and Ricard. This kind of team that improves the most can usually make a big splash in the playoffs! This kind of team, it is possible to do anything!" Charles Barkley has not seen Anjie in the playoffs for a year, and seeing Kenny Smith ready to bring the conversation to the matchup between the Spurs and the Mavericks, Barkley immediately took back control of the topic.
"Spurs vs. Mavericks, Lakers vs. Grizzlies, Thunder vs. Nuggets. Oh my God, these games are boring just for the two sides. But the Trail Blazers vs. the Clippers, how about Kenny, do you feel anything different?"
"I think you're pretty boring Charles. Kenny Smith gave Barkley a speechless look.
"Hey, you can't be so ......"
The TV is turned on by Angel, but Angel doesn't even watch Buckley and Kenny Smith. He just hung up the call with Catherine, he is going to play in the playoffs, and Catherine is about to appear on the stage of a big fashion show.
Although he finished talking on the phone now, An Jie's attention still couldn't be on the TV. Because in front of him, on the table in front of the sofa, there was a beautifully packaged carton that had just been sent to An Jie's home.
This carton is fancy in color and has a lot of basketball patterns on it. At the top of the box, a simple groove is drawn, which is the logo of Nike. On both sides of the box, there is a simple English sentence: "Way, of, Center, I.". Translated, the way of the center is a generation!
The chief designer of Anjie's signature shoes didn't fool him, this group of guys really made Anjie's exclusive sneakers before the playoffs!
Tomorrow, Nike will follow up on the playoffs to announce the shoe. And Anjie, as the first person in the world to get these shoes, will also wear it in the playoffs and fight everywhere!
The real war is about to start in the United States!
Starting tomorrow, the NBA league is about to burst into flames and blood. However, for Anjie, it is not terrible at all, on the contrary, he will enjoy the "good time" of the playoffs very much......
A quiet night like this does not herald peace, but rather represents an even greater storm coming!
