Chapter 635: The Portland Whirlwind
He doesn't remember much about how long it took for Anjie to get home the night he won the game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Anyway, by the time he drove back, even the busiest neighborhoods of the night were empty.
That night, Anjie, Van Gundy, Morris and others got together for a long time. Westbrook didn't care about their loss, and Anjie didn't sneer at his former brothers because he was the final winner and chipped in 30 points and 13 rebounds.
The people chatted and laughed in the restaurant, and even after all these years, their relationship has not changed in any way. The only thing that has changed is that the places where these guys struggle are no longer the same.
Anjie has to work hard to defend his title, and Van Gundy has to turn a new chapter in his career. As for the Thunder, they have a longer road to take.
The next day, Van Gundy and the Thunder left Oklahoma. Anjie's NBA season went on as usual.
A small indulgence in the nightlife of the season not only did not make An Jie weak in training the next day. On the contrary, Anjie, who was relaxed, had Robin Lopez scold his mother countless times in the training ground the next day.
Seeing that 2013 is about to pass, the opponent who can "give" the Trail Blazers a defeat has not yet appeared. Therefore, this topic is now being pushed to the forefront. Every day, the media debates who will be able to defeat the Trail Blazers. And every day, Anjie and his pioneers will disappoint this group of reporters who join in the fun again and again.
Some say that the Jazz, who are at the bottom of the West this season, have a chance to beat the Trail Blazers. Because of the competition between the first and the penultimate first, the first place will always have the old problem of underestimating the enemy.
However, this statement has not yet stood ground. The Trail Blazers bloodied the iron-blooded Jazz of the year with a 32-point difference, and when An Jie was still playing for the Thunder, the Jazz team did not cause him less trouble. But now, apart from Haywood, the handsome white guy with a star face, there is no second player on the Jazz team who can impress Anjie.
20 wins in a row, easy to come. Anjie had 24 points and 15 rebounds, still dominating the paint area.
That same night, Anjie won the first Western Conference Player of the Month award of the season. However, now this kind of small honor has become accustomed to An Jie.
"The Mavericks, led by Dirk and Monta Ellis, haven't played too badly this season, and I think they could beat the Trail Blazers, who are fighting back-to-back!" said some newspapers and media outlets
The next day, the Mavericks did cause a lot of trouble for the Trail Blazers. Nowitzki "came back to light" and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Monta Ellis, who was once regarded as a "cancer", also scored 20 points today. Moreover, this guy's choice of shot today is very reasonable, and the combination of these two has put the Trail Blazers in a bitter battle.
Unfortunately, the last 0.9 seconds of the game. Anjie broke through with the ball to attract the defense and cleverly split the ball, and Lillard made a knife on the mid-range and killed the game with a mid-range shot.
This sophomore No. 0 guard has already shown his oversized heart to dare to hit key shots. Some people have even believed that the real second-leader of the Trail Blazers team today is not Aldridge, but Lillard.
Lillard completed the kill, and he was naturally excited to celebrate his victory at the Moda Center. And An Jie also happily picked up the little guard he personally chose, winning 21 consecutive victories, and he was caught!
No one expected the Trail Blazers to break the 15-game winning streak set by the Rockets two decades ago, but what was even more unexpected was that the Trail Blazers would surpass that number in one fell swoop.
With a 21-game winning streak, everyone believes that this record is unlikely to be broken for at least the next decade. In the words of Mike Bryn, "This Trail Blazers team is a little too strong!"
With great glory and a record of making history every step of the way, the Trail Blazers defeated the embarrassed Jazz in a row, the Rockets led by Howard and Harden, slaughtered the high-flying McCarvey and the 76ers, cleanly eliminated the Pistons with Drummond, and completely rebuilt and selected the "parallel goods" Bennett's Cavaliers. People say that Bennett's performance is as bad as Bennett's performance is as good as this guy's performance. However, in An Jie's eyes, these rookies are not bad at all. If you don't leave one, you won't be killed......
After the victory over the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers' record has also become a terrible 26-0! They are just one game away from their own 27-game winning streak with the Heat, and the NBA's best start record has been raised by the Trail Blazers more than a notch.
The 15-game winning streak created by "Big Dream" twenty years ago is not worth mentioning in front of the Trail Blazers' record!
"I said earlier that he would surpass me. After that, he will surpass Shaq and even Jordan!" said Olajuwon when he was a guest on T.NT's one-block basketball program.
Suddenly, the entire league became a foil to the Trail Blazers. Numerous trade rumors are circling because a team can't compete with the Trail Blazers without bringing in a few more stars.
Not just the record, the Trail Blazers have the highest ticket and total jersey sales in the league. Among them, Anjie's No. 00 jersey is the most popular.
Now, if you walk around the street, you will definitely see a kid in a number 00 jersey playing on the street court.
More and more scouts began to wander around the ball head court, because An Jie was "picked up" from the field back then.
There are even rumors that the league will increase the range of the three-second zone again because of Anjie. Of course, it is still unknown whether this will be possible in the end.
Sports Illustrated, ESPN Magazine, and even Time Magazine all invited Anjie to be the cover character. For a while, Anjie became the hottest name in the world, and the last basketball player with such popularity was called Michael Jordan.
These deeds all reflect the current popularity of Anjie and the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers' first loss of the season is finally long overdue.
On December 18, Anjie led the Trail Blazers to visit the Target Center in Minnesota. The Timberwolves have not had a great season and are still teetering on the brink of the playoffs. So, before the game, almost everyone thought that the Trail Blazers would win their second 27-game winning streak as a foregone conclusion.
However, it may have been Anjie's success that spurred Kevin Love a lot. The latter hit eight three-pointers in this game, and Anjie hit two volleyball caps from beyond the three-point line, and this time failed to stop Lefou's explosion.
With 45 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists, Kevin Love was on target today. Finally, after graduating from college, he defeated Anjie in the NBA arena once.
Combined with 20 points from veteran Timberwolves shooter Kevin Martin and 18 points from Barria, the Timberwolves defeated the unbeatable Trail Blazers 109-118 at home. And the Trail Blazers' terrifying opening winning streak has finally come to an end.
Although they failed to achieve a 27-game winning streak for the second time, the record of 26 consecutive wins in the opening game was enough for Anjie and the Trail Blazers to write a strong mark in the history of the NBA.
After the game, Lefu made an unexpected discovery. Even if he beats Anjie, even if the Timberwolves stop the Trail Blazers. But in the end, the most popular person is still the yellow-skinned No. 00.
From college to the NBA, Kevin Love realized that he never really seemed to win against Anjie......
※※※
At the post-match press conference, the audience where Anjie and Ricard were located, as always, was packed with reporters. Naturally, the seats provided for the media have long been snatched up, and more reporters can only crowd into the corners of the room to record or film.
Although he lost, An Jie's mood was not affected too much. After all, the Trail Blazers' current 26-1 record is unmatched.
It doesn't matter if they lose a game now, everything starts from the heart, and the burden on their shoulders will be much lighter.
"Okay, now everyone is free to ask questions. As soon as the chief press officer finished speaking, a reporter jerked to his feet.
"Mr. An, what do you think of Lefou's 45 and the loss of this game?"
A painless question, An Jie is not afraid. He smiled politely at the reporter and put his head in front of the microphone.
"Congratulations to Lefou, he yelled to beat me every time, and today, he got his wish. An Jie's joke filled the bottom with a relaxed laugh.
"The Timberwolves played really well, at least today, they were better than us. But losing a game won't stop us. It's a long season ahead of us and believe me, it's definitely us who stick with it until the end. ”
After An Jie finished speaking, the flash under him also lit up.
At this moment, Ricard, who was sitting next to An Jie and smiling, suddenly coughed violently.
At first, people didn't care. But after coughing for almost ten seconds, Ricard was still coughing.
Anjie immediately pulled out a tissue and handed it to Ricard, who covered his mouth with his hand, and the violent coughing continued.
After a few seconds, Riccard, who was coughing up tears, finally stabilized.
"What's wrong, boss?" Angel saw that there was a bloodshot streak on the tissue that Rickard had covered his mouth.
"It's okay, I'm sorry everyone, please continue"
The situation returned to normal and press conferences resumed.
People usually only see the injuries of players on the court, but as everyone knows, the coach of an NBA team is definitely a profession that hurts the body......
