Chapter 469: Interlude?

Late at night, on the deserted streets of Charlotte, the snow is already quietly covering the city with "futon". Biquge.infoWinter in December is always accompanied by snow, which is a common occurrence for those who live here.

"Tsk." Aldridge suddenly felt a chill in himself, and wrapped the quilt around him. But then, a urge to urinate, Aldridge had to lift the warm quilt and walk towards the toilet.

"It's snowing, so it must be beautiful tomorrow." After the solution, Aldridge took a look at the world outside through the window, and it would be white when he woke up tomorrow. Thinking of this, Aldridge couldn't help but smile slightly. However, at this time, Aldridge suddenly felt that his breathing became a little rapid and difficult!

"No, not now!" Aldridge had to get down on one knee and prop one hand on the bedside table to make sure he didn't fall.

After more than ten minutes, Aldridge regained his composure. But in this cold winter, Aldridge was sweating profusely because of what had just happened.

"It's all right, LaMarcus, it......'s all right," Aldridge muttered to himself, and sat back on the bed in shock, wiping the cold sweat that sent chills down his spine. The Trail Blazers have been on track this season, and his own career is on track. He didn't want anything to go wrong here......

"What's wrong...... Man," asked Anjie, who was staying in a room with Aldridge, in a daze.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

After the Bobcats' victory, the Trail Blazers continue their road trip just one day later. From the Nov. 26 win over the Pistons in Detroit to the Bobcats win over the Bobcats in Charlotte last out, the Trail Blazers have gone through five consecutive road trips. And then there's Game 6 in Indiana waiting for Ricard and his players.

Such a schedule naturally made Riccard greet Stern's "female relative" with a "warm" greeting, which also made the Trail Blazers players work harder than others.

It's tiring to think about it all over the U.S. while maintaining the quality of training possible, but the Trail Blazers have to deal with it all in earnest.

No, they haven't had time to enjoy the fruits of their victory after defeating the Bobcats. Early the next morning, Rickard got his players on a plane and headed for Indianapolis, Indiana's largest city.

Although it was hard, because of the team's repeated wins, the players' emotions were still quite high. After all, most of the people on this team are still very young, and running around continuously is not much of a problem for a group of lads. Sometimes Fischer and Divac really envy this group of people, and there is still a lot of room for struggle in their lives.

On the plane, Damien. Lillard showed off his rap skills for his teammates. Although this black guy makes a living playing basketball, his rap is really good, and everyone on the Trail Blazers is dancing along. Lillard said that in addition to basketball, his other dream is to release a rap album and become a rapper. And now that he is performing well on the basketball court, with one business contract after another, he is definitely not far from fulfilling his second dream.

In this hard rush, it is these small episodes in life that allow this team to maintain a very high combat effectiveness and cohesion. As the leader in the locker room, Anjie is naturally very concerned about the state and emotions of the players. Due to the change of age and identity, Anjie is no longer just concerned about whether he can play well, but also the state of the entire team is within the scope of Anjie's attention.

Just now, everyone was in high spirits about Lillard's performance. Aldridge was the only low-key guy who didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"What's the matter, man? You look ...... Seems worried. An Jie then remembered that Aldridge seemed to have some movement in the hotel room in the middle of the night last night, could it be related to that?

"What's wrong? I'm fine, okay. Aldridge said and hammered An Jie's chest, and seeing that Aldridge was not uncomfortable, An Jie didn't take it to heart. But remembering last night's energy, Aldridge was still in shock.

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

After arriving in Indianapolis, the team assembles at their hotel, assigns a room, rests, and then heads to the Bankers' Living Arena for regular training.

Training on the day before a race day is usually not too hard, and the main purpose is simply to get used to the field and tactical positioning. Today, Rickard's plans are unchanged either.

Even though they had just stepped off the plane, the team's form was not affected in the slightest. Ricard and Divac looked at the running figures on the court with satisfaction, if nothing else, tomorrow against the Pacers, victory should also be within reach!

Even Paul. George that guy is in Daniel. Granger showed great talent after his injury, and Ricard admitted that he thought the kid would be a great thing to do. But the current NBA is still not in charge of George. The Pacers, who are now 9-9, are not the biggest threat to the Trail Blazers.

Everything is so normal, everything is going according to plan. As for Aldridge resting for a full twenty minutes after training before getting up, even the careful An Jie couldn't find the clue of this kind of thing......

The game on December 5 started so uneventfully. Before the game, Paul, one of Anjie's admirers. George naturally hugged and chatted with An Jie cordially, and he excitedly told An Jie about his experience of playing against the Heat Big Three in the playoffs, and said that he would do his best to pursue a win today.

"Even if you let the horses come and bring George, you know, the final outcome will not change." And Anjie's answer is just like Paul. George was as tough as he thought. But isn't that why George likes Angel?

Another Pacers player who has a good relationship with Anjie is their backup No. 1 D.J. Augustin, the two guys met in college because of a game and admired each other because of a game. And Augustine also became Anjie's first object to exchange jerseys.

Back then, Augustin threatened to compete with Anjie in the NBA, but now, one of them is a substitute and the other is a superstar. Although the gap is huge, it has not affected the two people's good impression of each other's "heroes cherish heroes".

It's fair to say that when a team is friendly to you, from the star to the bench, it's a great game to play.

Naturally, the Pacers will not give Anjie and them water, but at least they will fight against people who like them, and they will always find more fun and avoid more damage.

The game has been very anxious, and the Pacers have shown that they are extraordinary. There may not be any superstars on this team, but each of them can play their part.

However, in terms of hard power, the Trail Blazers team led by An Jie is indeed superior. It is precisely because of this advantage in strength that the scorching score has not been able to be overtaken by the Pacers.

Until the end of the half, the score between the two sides was still 50-48, and the Trail Blazers only relied on Anjie's buzzer-beating hook at the end of the second quarter to lead by two points. Paul. George was very excited when he saw An Jie, so this guy has become the number one troublesome person today.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Paul. George hit a three-pointer to give the Pacers the lead for the first time since the start of the game. Even so, of course, the pressure is on the Pacers' side. Because the Trail Blazers are always able to do everything they can to break down the Pacers' defense.

Damien. Lillard has become more and more adept at handling the ball, and he has found a good balance between the "self-attack" and "team-mate-based attack" style of play.

As soon as Lillard walked to the three-point line and gestured, Anjie and Aldridge both came up. The Pacers' "Black Yaoming" Hibbert and experienced power forward David Murphy. West also followed after him.

While there is a good chance that Lillard will surprise him from the restricted area, Akira and Aldridge's shots, Hibbert and West don't want to try either.

The split second the twin towers were in place, Lillard kicked on. The Pacers' starting No. 1 pick, George. Although Hill has an exaggerated arm span, he has a tough style. But in the face of Lillard's terrifying start-up speed, he was still half a beat slower. Coupled with Angel's perfect pick-and-roll, Lillard was able to leave Hill behind.

Seeing Lillard's successful breakthrough, Anjie and Aldridge were not idle. An Jie ran to the mid-range position on the wing to prepare for the reception, and An Jie, who received the ball in the middle distance, can both attack and reorganize, which can be described as the best of both worlds. And what about Aldridge? He followed quickly! Always ready to meet Lillard's balls, and also ready to make up for Lillard's missed baskets.

Fearing Hibbert's height, Lillard didn't plan to come on his own. He was about to take off and suddenly passed the ball to the back of his head, knowing that Aldridge was a trustworthy guy right behind him.

Aldridge caught the ball steadily and took three steps directly from the ball. As he took to the air, Hibbert and West lunged at Aldridge.

In the air, Aldridge received a violent collision from two big men. Just as he was about to finish the dunk, a big hand slapped Aldridge's ball handler.

Aldridge continued to work harder, intending to end it all in one fell swoop! But I don't know if it's because of running and jumping too hard. Aldridge was in the air, and he had the painful feeling of shortness of breath from last night.

"Boom!" It wasn't the sound of the basket being swept away, it was the muffled sound of Aldridge suddenly falling from the sky.

The referee immediately blew the whistle on his chest, and everyone thought it was just an ordinary thug foul.

However, when An Jie walked up to Aldridge and was about to pull him up, he noticed Aldridge's expression on the ground that had become distorted from pain.

"Damn it! Doctor! An Jie immediately shouted and waved at the bench, and the pleasant atmosphere of this game was swept away in an instant......
