Chapter 554: Step into Portland's Iron Hoof

"Only a championship is worthy of MVP!" The words An Jie said at the award ceremony were directly quoted by many media as headlines. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This has become An Jie's famous words, and countless fans are looking forward to the next series infinitely with the release of An Jie's "cruel words".

But in the eyes of the San Antonio media, Anjie's remark means that he didn't take the Spurs seriously at all.

What a championship, the Trail Blazers are a team that has just advanced to the Western Conference Finals. If you want to mention the championship, you must at least pass the Spurs first.

The media in San Antonio took advantage of Anjie's MVP to hype up, and successfully made Anjie a public enemy of San Antonio.

That's the atmosphere of the playoffs, and in this die-or-die environment, you can't expect the away fans to be kind to you.

Seeing that the media in San Antonio were clearly trying to stir up trouble, people were very concerned about Anjie's opinion on the incident. But when the reporters were ready to go straight to Rose Garden, they learned from security guards that Rickard had canceled all media days to focus on preparing for the Western Conference Finals.

"Coach Rickard doesn't have the right to do that! The Alliance has made a pre-arranged media day mandatory. Whether Coach Rickard likes it or not, we have the right to film the Trail Blazers in practice. "An experienced black journalist wasn't easily dismissed by security.

'I don't know, Coach Rickard said there was still a press conference. It's just that he doesn't want the players' training to be interfered with. The security guard innocently spread his hands, and the group of reporters were also angry.

"Alright, alright, it would be nice to have a press conference. After all, Ann only won the MVP yesterday, and Rickard wouldn't be stupid enough to let Ann Jie disappear from the media at such a time. The reporters also made a compromise, and it was okay not to shoot training footage, after all, they came to Anjie.

At the same time, in the training ground, Anjie, who was waiting for reporters, was training in the low post defense under the guidance of Divac.

Don't look at Anjie has won the award for the best defensive player for two consecutive years, but in Divac's opinion, Anjie's defensive ability still has room for improvement. Especially when Anjie faced Duncan, Divac felt that it was even more necessary for Anjie to say something alone.

"I know you only won the MVP yesterday, and you're the best player in the regular season right now. But don't forget, Tim. That Duncan guy did everything you did ten years ago, and twice in a row. This guy will score in ways you wouldn't expect, and by the time it comes to the Western Conference Finals, Duncan will be resurrected and become the same as when he was younger! Don't use your experience with LaMarcus and Mark against Tim, or you'll regret it. Divac was behind Anjie while guiding Anjie's defensive movements, chattering in Anjie's ear.

Despite this, An Jie was not impatient at all. Although since joining the league, Anjie has beaten the Spurs many times. Even several classic strikes in Anjie's career were obtained against the Spurs.

But the terrifying strength shown by the Spurs in the playoffs has gone beyond the scope of the regular season. Whether it's Popovich or GDP, they know exactly what to do in the playoffs.

"Yes, that's all. Don't let me into the penalty area, put pressure on me from start to finish. Don't play those little clevers with Duncan, this guy has been in the league for so many years, and he has seen all kinds of tricks. Fight him head-on! That's the only way to restrain him! Divac said as he suddenly pushed hard, turned around and hooked his hand. There is no doubt that the ball was judged to be accurate An Jie and flew away.

Divac nodded approvingly, even though An Jie was already very strong, he still had a heart to learn. Perhaps, this is the most valuable point of An Jie.

"What? What a damn press conference? Didn't I say that journalists would not be allowed in today? They say media day is a hard and fast rule of the Union? Damn, I also said that the only indicator of the rose garden is Ricard! Okay, I know, tell the reporters to wait. While everyone was concentrating on training, the sound of Rickard yelling at his cell phone resounded throughout the audience.

Everyone stopped and stared at him, and Ricard searched for his players.

"It's media day, but don't be lazy and keep training. Derek, Jarled, you two go and deal with it, it's a veteran's break. "Ricard picked the two oldest players in the team to deal with the media, after all, they don't have much to practice for the old guys who are fully degraded. Keeping the pace of the team in the game and bringing experience to the young players is their main role.

Maybe Fischer and Jared later. When Jeffries walked into the media reception room, Rickard would have countless mouths scolding him behind his back. But so what? Ricard now only cares about the quality of the team's training.

"What are you staring at me? Envy Derek and Jarled? Keep practicing! ”

Ricard's words were like a switch, and in an instant, the training ground became noisy again, and everyone was engaged in training.

The tough Spurs didn't scare the Trail Blazers, because the enticing scent of the championship title has already made everyone on the Trail Blazers crazy.

They don't care if they're facing the Spurs, Duncan, or the legendary GDP. An Jie doesn't care if he only won the MVP yesterday, and whether he should show up in front of the media.

Now everyone on the Trail Blazers has one thing on their minds: crush the Spurs, make it to the finals, lift the trophy, and enjoy worship!

"I fuck Ricard!" A reporter heard movement on the other side of the door, and he immediately raised his camera, ready to take all the pictures of An Jie, the new MVP.

However, to his surprise, it wasn't Anjie who walked in through the door, not even Aldridge and Lillard.

Derek. Fischer and Jarred, who hasn't played for a long time and is about to be forgotten. Jeffries sat down on the podium. "The two of us are here at this press conference today, so don't hesitate to ask any questions you have."

Fischer and Jeffries are worthy of being old rivers and lakes, these two guys who came on the brink of danger looked at the reporters below who were flushed with anger, and they didn't react at all, still sitting on the podium expressionlessly waiting for the problem to appear.

"Damn, I knew I might as well go to the airport and wait for the Spurs." The reporters all shook their heads, what else could they do? Rickard's attitude has been made clear, he just doesn't want you to interview. Sue Ricard? At most, this guy will be fined, after all, the league must take good care of a coach with a popular ball.

Meanwhile, at Portland International Airport, the arrival of a flight excites people waiting in the airport lobby, and airport security and police officers immediately tense up and tear the crowd away to form a passageway.

After a while, a group of tall people came from the exit of the plane one by one. The whole hall immediately became noisy, and most of the people carried cameras and filmed the group of people non-stop.

"I didn't expect us to be so popular in Portland." Spurs young guard Danny. Green waved to the reporters, but Duncan, who was next to him, still had that poker face and a blank face.

"Coach Popovich, what are you going to do to limit Ann's play!?"

"Ann threatens to steal the O'Brien Cup this season, do you think this MVP can pass the Spurs?"

"After Ann won the Most Valuable Player of the Regular Season award, you must have had a lot of opinions, right!?"

Pressed by reporters, Popovich ignored them. He was still at the front of the line and never stopped. Seeing Popovich like this, the rest of the Spurs did not dare to give interviews to the media without permission.

Journalists deflated in Rose Garden could never have imagined that Portland International Airport wasn't much better. They can only admit that they are unlucky, and they have met two managers who are least welcome to see the media.

When the Spurs walked out of the airport and saw the building with Anjie's huge poster forever, Danny Brown. Green observed that Duncan's face seemed to twitch.

The poster here is different from the last time the Spurs came to Portland.

Anjie wore the home jersey of the Trail Blazers and held the ball in front of his chest with both hands, and his head was slightly raised, looking proud.

The background of the entire poster is one of the main colors of the Trail Blazers, dark red. And on this poster, only An Jie has three letters written behind him - MVP!

"Tim! What happened to you!? Popovich shouted when he saw that Duncan refused to get into the car for a long time.

Duncan turned his gaze away from the poster and silently stepped down the stairs of the team bus. The Trail Blazers spent a lot of money to get such an advertising space near the airport, but this did not scare the Spurs!

Does AnJie have a champion heart? The Spurs still have the blood of the champion in their bodies!

The pinnacle showdown in the West, 24 hours later, Duncan and An Jie will not let each other have a good time!
