Psychological pressure, physical baggage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is undoubtedly the biggest problem that the current Trailblazers team has to face.

The Purple and Gold Army, the Green Shirts. These two biggest giants in the NBA are the opponents of the Trail Blazers' next back-to-back schedule. Moreover, it was a back-to-back away game that spanned the east and west.

"Coach Ricard, do you think the NBA regular season schedule is really scientific and reasonable?" A day after the victory over the Suns, a beautiful reporter from ESPN asked Ricard this question during a daily post-practice interview. Everyone knows that the Trail Blazers are about to face the devil's schedule, and this back-to-back is also a big threat to the Trail Blazers' winning streak.

"Scientificity, rationality, when did the NBA's schedule pay attention to these two things?" Ricard's dazed expression made the reporters can't help but smile, this guy mocks the league's skills, and it is still so profound.

"First the All-Stars, then the Suns. Just giving us a day's respite requires us to play two games in a row across the east and west coasts. Do you think such a schedule is reasonable?" Ricard's rhetorical question made the reporters laugh. Indeed, Los Angeles and Boston, this is literally a leap from the westernmost point of the United States to the easternmost part of the United States.

In such a situation, it is indeed a bit too much to play back-to-back.

After Riccard complained to the reporters, he also won the sympathy of everyone in the outside world. But what's the use? Can the Trail Blazers count on David Stern to open the net for them and change the schedule?

All Pioneer and Anjie can do is to bite the bullet.

Now that the Trail Blazers are in the playoffs, the first place in the West is also quite solid. And the only thing holding them down is the record that has accumulated to 26 consecutive wins. With less than 10 more wins, the Trail Blazers have a chance to tie the longest winning streak in history.

Such a situation will definitely put the players under great pressure. Especially now that they are facing a back-to-back that is extremely inhumane, the Trail Blazers players are tired of it.

"Lakers F4 guys, they're here again. Don't forget, the Lakers are currently ranked eighth in the West, which means they could be the opponent we faced in the first round of the playoffs! Break the opponent's confidence before the playoffs start!" Ricard tried his best to encourage his players to let go of their burdens as much as possible.

As the leader of the team, he is always concerned about his teammates in the locker room and on the training ground.

"Don't worry Matthews, you go and confront Kobe Bryant. I'm watching from behind you, don't be too nervous. Anjie was comforting Matthews, who was overly nervous because he was about to face Kobe.

"Damien, don't practice like this, your physical strength can't stand your tossing like this. ”

"J.J., you have to keep an eye on Clark. Although he is not as good as Gasol, he is also very good at shooting. ”

If Ricard is a senior leader, then Anjie is more like a grassroots cadre. He talks to his teammates on the basketball court one by one to make sure they are in the best mental condition.

However, the rush of time did not give Anjie and Rickard much opportunity to adjust the team, and when Anjie had not yet recovered from the rhythm of the All-Star Game, the others had already parachuted into Los Angeles International Airport.

While the Lakers' F4 may have been the most disappointing combination of the season, injuries to the likes of Gasol have left only eight players under D'Antoni to be able to participate in the rotation. But given the exhaustion and pressure of the Trail Blazers' players, it's not impossible for the Los Angeles Lakers to win.

In the last game against the Suns, who were second to last in the West, the Trail Blazers were better than others without stars. But the Los Angeles Lakers, but there is an omnipotent Kobe Bryant waiting for Anjie.

is also participating in the All-Star, but Kobe Bryant is playing the regular season for the first time since the All-Star Game today. Anjie, on the other hand, is already playing the second consecutive away game.

Before the start of the game, Kobe Bryant hugged An Jie as usual. But An Jie knows that at the critical moment, this cold-blooded black mamba will not be soft on his old friend.

As soon as the game started, An Jie's guess became a reality. Now is the time to storm for a playoff spot, while the Lakers' eighth spot in the West is shaky. For this situation, the person who is most worried is Kobe.

The last time Kobe Bryant didn't make the playoffs was in the 04-05 season. At that time, Kobe Bryant was the only one on the entire Lakers team, he lacked helpers, and the West was full of strong opponents.

Now, Kobe Bryant, who is aiming for the championship with a luxurious F4 lineup, can't accept that he can't even get over the playoffs. So at the beginning, he launched an onslaught. Once this guy turns on scoring mode, it's going to be very difficult to stop.

Although Anjie had counseled Matthews before the game, when Kobe Bryant scored several unreasonable goals on Matthews' head in a row, this 09 draft was still messed up.

If he hadn't worked hard, he wouldn't have gone from a hopeless draft loss to the Trail Blazers' No. 2 spot. But now, the huge gap in talent between the two still makes Matthews very painful. After all, Kobe Bryant in front of him is also a hard-working person.

Anjie said that he would look behind Matthews, and he did. It's just that the smart Kobe Bryant didn't have a hard time with An Jie at all.

He's always scored from mid-range after getting rid of Matthews' defense, or simply scored against Matthews' defense.

Anjie worked hard, and the rest of the Trail Blazers did their best. But the score has been bitten by the explosive Kobe.

The game was played until the final quarter, and the scores of the two sides were still equal. But at this time, the Lakers' disadvantage of only eight people being able to rotate was infinitely magnified.

Although Kobe Bryant is powerful, he is also 33 years old after all. And this guy is also scarred.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant desperately needed a little time to rest. However, the Lakers' bench lineup prevented Kobe Bryant from even getting a little rest.

This tenacious man gritted his teeth and prepared to play the entire fourth quarter, and Kobe's spirit of not giving up also affected An Jie as his opponent.

Seeing Kobe Bryant working so hard, An Jie was not to be outdone. He motioned to Ricard not to replace him, because Anjie was ready to fight to the end with his idol and friend!

The final showdown of this game made all fans have to be in awe of those two men. Whether it is Kobe Bryant or An Jie, they are all real men.

These two guys didn't give up, Kobe Bryant's score was on the verge of breaking 40, and Anjie's blocks reached 5.

It's a pity that in the end, Kobe Bryant still lost in age. An Jie, who is in his early twenties, had the last laugh in this war of attrition.

In the last minute and a half of the game, Kobe Bryant repeatedly missed the attack on the outside, broke through, and also ate An Jie's big risk.

And Anjie, he is still playing efficiently against Howard, who is injured. Neither Jamison nor Earl Clarke of the Lakers were able to effectively wrap up Angel.

Kobe Bryant is still working hard, but he can no longer do every shot and score every breakthrough like before. In turn, Anjie can do it.

Under the cheers of the entire Staples fans, Kobe Bryant still lost, with 40 points and 7 rebounds, fell to Anjie.

An Jie scored 36 points, 14 rebounds and a terrifying 6 blocks in this game, and he consumed it to the end, and the Trail Blazers also won 111-107, narrowly winning again!

In order to win this game, the main players of the Trail Blazers did not reserve any spare energy. Especially Anjie, if he doesn't fight Kobe, the victory will belong to the Lakers. But after he and Kobe Bryant stumbled, An Jie's physical condition will only become more tense. Although they defeated Kobe Bryant to make it their 27th game in a row. But Rickard has no idea what to do tomorrow against the Boston Celtics.

Looking at the players gasping for breath in the dressing room, Ricard really couldn't bear to say that. But now, he had to urge his men to leave immediately after a bitter victory.

"Let's go, guys, let's ...... It's time for us to go to the airport...... "A boring victory, that's probably how it feels......

A four-and-a-half-hour long-haul flight across the east and west coasts of the United States. I can fall asleep in the early hours of the morning, and I have to go to play when I wake up......

All of this is all the headwinds that are now overwhelming the Trail Blazers.

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

February 22, 2013, Lantern Festival. Boston, TD North Shore Garden Arena, 10:30 p.m. Anjie didn't have a chance to reunite with her family, not even video chat. Since coming to the United States to become a professional player in the NBA, China's traditional festivals have not had much to do with Anjie since then. Not to mention the Lantern Festival, even the Spring Festival more than ten days ago, An Jie spent it in competitions and training.

But now, he doesn't have the heart to think about these sad things at all. He must address this big crisis at hand, because time is running out for the Trail Blazers.

"The game is over with three minutes left, and the Trail Blazers are still eight points behind at the moment! Paul Pierce broke through after borrowing Brandon Buss's pick-and-roll! Hit a two-point pullup jumper, and the difference is now 10 points!"

Pierce raised his arms in excitement after scoring the goal, and the shouts of the fans filled the guy with strength.

The offense came, and Anjie attracted the bag again and successfully distributed the ball to the outside. Wesley Matthews catches the ball and shoots, but the basketball goes out of the box. This is not an occasion, counting this goal, Matthews' three-point shooting percentage today has also become 1 of 7 shots.

Seeing this, Garnett immediately got on his feet, and this small action made it difficult for An Jie to move an inch. Therefore, this rebound was also firmly controlled by the Celtics.

Originally, An Jie's physical strength was almost overdrawn, and now he had to deal with Garnett, who had small movements all over his body, which exacerbated An Jie's physical exertion.

After getting the rebound, Bradley immediately launched a counterattack and wanted to play a fast break. And An Jie, who is physically exhausted, can no longer stage a good show of chasing adventures again. He could only watch as the Celtics' zero guard made a successful layup and watched the margin turn to 12.

"It's so tired, if I were Coach Riccard, I'd replace Ann and give up this game! After all, their results are good enough, and if Angie gets injured due to excessive fatigue, the Trail Blazers will lose more than they need!" Mike Brin doesn't want to see a rising superstar fall at the feet of an illness.

No sooner had he finished his sentence than Riccard called a timeout.

"Ann!

"Oh...... Huh!?" An Jie hadn't reacted yet.

"You go to rest, don't fight, let's stop fighting. "There were only two minutes on the clock, and there were 12 points left. With the Trail Blazers in poor shape, Rickard intends to drop the game.

"What are you kidding! We can't give up! We still have time!" Anjie yelled angrily, and his violent reaction startled everyone on the bench, including Ricard himself.

This deafening roar naturally did not escape the ears of the reporters. They seemed, heard a big news!

"Impossible! We will definitely win!" An Jie angrily dropped the paper cup, after working hard for so long, winning in a row for so long, how could he say give up and give up.

"Stinky boy!" Ricard is also a violent temper, An Jie never dared to yell at himself, today this guy has eaten leopard gall? Ricard slammed back, and the others didn't even dare to make a sound.

"Okay, okay, Ann, obey the arrangement. It's also for the big picture. Divac was the only one who could play the role of peacemaker, and he pushed away Anjie and Ricard, and Anjie didn't say anything more, kind of accepting the fact that the game ended early.

Rickard didn't say a word to Angel after that, and he commanded the entire game, and of course, the Trail Blazers ended up with a nine-point deficit and fell to North Shore Gardens.

"The Boston Celtics! They stopped the Trail Blazers' winning streak! Oh my God, the Rockets' 22-game winning streak ended with the Celtics! These guys are veritable streak terminators!"

The Trail Blazers' legendary winning streak came to a halt at 27 straight wins.

After the game, the reporters went out en masse. The quarrel between Anjie and Rickard, the end of the Trail Blazers' winning streak, and another beautiful block from the Celtics......

There is so much news about this game......
