Chapter 486: The Tail of the Old Year

“MVP!MVP!MVP!MVP! ...... After the game, the fans in the Rose Garden cheered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThey chanted MVP as a tribute to Anjie, who came on the court with an injury and put on a great performance for the fans on Christmas Eve.

An Jie stood in front of the technical stand and enthusiastically waved and interacted with the fans in the stands. This guy's left middle finger and ring finger are still tied together, but the perfect performance of 32 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks makes it impossible to tell that this is a person who is suffering from injuries.

DeAndrew. Jordan and Blake . Griffin is one of the hottest interior duos in the league, and their athleticism keeps them in the top 10 shots. Therefore, this also gives fans the false impression that "these two guys are very strong".

But today, An Jie single-handedly beat these two guys all over the ground to find teeth. Jordan Jr. had 6 points and 6 rebounds, and Griffin's stats were slightly better, but he only had 13 points and 6 rebounds. The combined scores and rebounds of these two guys are not as many as An Jie's alone.

Chris. Paul did his best, chipped in 20 points and 10 assists on 53 percent shooting, which is already a pretty good stat for a point guard. However, this guy, who is perhaps the best point guard in the league, lost again in a matchup with the best center.

From last season's playoffs to now, the Clippers and the Trail Blazers have met a total of 6 times and lost 6 times in a row. The Clippers' unwinnable cycle against the Trail Blazers looks like it's going to have to go on for some longer.

After the defeat, Paul did not give any interviews to reporters and walked straight into the visiting dressing room. Presumably, the "Los Angeles Captain" should not be in the mood to participate in the press conference after that.

The Clippers' proud 11-game winning streak was finally buried in Portland.

"This year's Christmas game has seen a lot of big wins, such as the Celtics defeated the Nets by a huge 17-point margin in the first game of Christmas. After that, the Rockets also slaughtered the Mavericks by 23 points in the Texas derby. But to be honest, I didn't expect a double-digit margin in the finale of the Christmas War. The Heat defeated the Thunder 103-97, which is still within our acceptable range. But the Trail Blazers, who had just lost to the Kings, beat the Clippers by 14 points against an 11-game winning streak, which was really something we didn't expect before the game. "Kenny . Smith had been analysing the game until the interview footage came from the scene, and he couldn't let the live stream go cold.

"It wasn't just Kenny that we didn't expect, coach Ricard's second-half play, which was also jaw-dropping. Under a traditional coach who plays with a center as the core, there is a formation that emphasizes outside offense and speed. On top of that, the Trail Blazers' big four are still dominated by slow-paced and interior offense. I think Coach Ricard has inadvertently created a new style of tactics. "In the era when O'Neal played, there were not many managers who dared to play with a small lineup. But in an era of increasingly incompetent interior players, small lineups have been successful on many teams. It's just that O'Neal didn't expect that the Trail Blazers would also get a piece of the pie.

"Well, our front reporter has now finally found George . Coach Rickard, let's hear what he has to say about his tactical thinking. "Signal everything, T in the studio. The NT trio disappeared from the frame, replaced by footage of an interview with Ricard by a reporter on the scene.

"Coach Ricard, did you premeditate or did you decide to move Iguodala to the No. 4 position in the second half?" the reporter briefly asked.

"To be honest, we were forced to do this. But it's okay, it works very well. Ricard smiled at the camera, and the guy seemed to be in a good mood.

"Today, the power of the small squad has been revealed. Will you continue to use Iguodala as the starting four in Aldridge's absence?"

"I have no comment, I have nothing to say about our tactics in the future. Rickard said and winked at the camera before ending the interview.

De Nagro thought there was no secret between the two rivals who knew each other well, but today he was defeated by the Trail Blazers' new tactics.

Now, not only De Nagro, but also the head coaches of the other 29 teams in the league have to scratch their heads. What a manager is most afraid of when formulating a strategy is the uncertainty of the opponent. The greater the uncertainty of the opponent, the more difficult it is for the coach to develop targeted tactics. However, the current Rickard has made the Trail Blazers a fog, leaving opponents unable to figure it out.

In addition to Riccard, Anjie, who single-handedly killed Jordan Jr. and Griffin, became the second guy to become popular in the Christmas war.

It's just that An Jie's mood is not high when he is interviewed today, he always answers the reporters' questions briefly, and then leaves in a hurry. If you meet a journalist again, things will be repeated.

The reporters thought that An Jie was in such a hurry because his injury needed to be dealt with in time, but in fact, An Jie just didn't want Catherine to wait too long.

After all, after the game, the young couple's Christmas Eve will continue......

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

The Christmas War, as a small climax of the regular season, always manages to put the teams and players involved at the center of the conversation in the near future. Therefore, the Trail Blazers and Anjie have once again made headlines in various newspapers.

Having said that, from the beginning of this season to the present, the popularity of the Trail Blazers and Anjie has never decreased. When the Lakers' F4 is in dire straits and the Clippers are struggling to break the curse, only the Trail Blazers are still maintaining the strong momentum they had at the beginning of the season.

When Aldridge had a heart attack, some thought the Trail Blazers' "prime time" was over. When An Jie's finger was broken, countless people stood up and accused An Jie of being a glass man and accused him of being a "pseudo-superstar". However, when he came on the field with an injury, he used his actual performance to slap most people's faces.

Since Anjie's injury, the Trail Blazers have played a total of 4 games, and they have also won 3 of them, making the team still at the top of the table with a 21-5 record. And Anjie has performed very well in these four games.

If there are still people who question that An Jie will be knocked down by injury, there are also doubts that the Trail Blazers will drive high and go low. That kind of person may not care about the result of the game at all, and just want to "discredit" the Trail Blazers.

After the Christmas game, the Trail Blazers have just two games left on their 2012 schedule. One away game against the Lakers F4, and one home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Although Catherine has always insisted on going to Los Angeles with Anjie to play away, Anjie still feels that something is not suitable. When playing away, the NBA has no precedent for this to drag the family. Moreover, he didn't want Catherine to work very hard for herself when she wasn't working.

Arriving in Los Angeles, AnJie is finally no longer the focus of attention from the media and reporters. After all, in this star-studded city of angels, there are too many people and news to deserve attention.

The Lakers F4 had learned the power of the Trail Blazers in the season opener, and their current 13-14 record is also very incompatible with this star-studded lineup.

But counting the victory against the Knicks in the Christmas game, the Lakers finally have the longest five-game winning streak of the season in F4. At present, the team is finally showing signs of getting on the right track.

And today, in Staples, they did show good strength.

Kobe Bryant may be one of the few outside players in this league who is not afraid of Anjie's defense, and his all-round offensive approach allows him to not have to fight with Anjie on the inside at all.

Without Aldridge, Paul . Gasol was also a rare liberator. Against the Lakers, Ricard is no longer likely to use Iguodala to play the No. 4 position. Gasol is not Griffin, this guy just relies on his height advantage to shoot, and he can shoot Iguodala alive.

The excellent performances of Gasol and Kobe naturally greatly attracted Anjie's defense. However, Anjie couldn't concentrate on guarding the basket, and Howard's chance came.

The Lakers were unexpectedly in control throughout the game, and in the end, they also won a hard-fought battle by a narrow margin of 100-104.

After the game, An Jie was very unwilling to throw off his headband, and he scored 27 points and 10 rebounds in this game, which was much better than the 15 points and 9 rebounds that Howard "picked up". But the cooperation of Kobe Bryant and Gasol, a classic pair, made Anjie seem to return to the year when the Thunder was eliminated by the Lakers.

The Lakers are on a six-game winning streak, while the Trail Blazers are on their third loss in five games.

At this time, all the media or reporters who praised Anjie after the Christmas war have been turning their guns upside down.

However, An Jie is accustomed to these brainless reports, even if you are Jordan, when you fail, someone will run out and sneer. However, on the basketball court, failure is as much a necessity as hard work.

In the face of a huge number of doubts, AnJie and his Trail Blazers comfortably defeated the rebuilding 76ers in their final game of 2012.

The 76ers had intended to rebuild the team with Bynum as the core. After all, last season, Bynum really played well.

"They actually traded the league's No. 1 center for the league's No. 3 center!" was Bynum's comment to the Lakers after learning that he had been traded for Howard. The arrogant "Little Shark" had already regarded himself as the first center last season, but An Jie was surprised, it turned out that he could still rank second in Bynum's heart, and he thought that Bynum, who hated him, would rank himself last. But this guy seems to have forgotten that when he played in the playoffs, he was suppressed by An Jie in all directions!

As everyone knows, after Bynum landed in Philadelphia, he didn't even play a game, and he was directly reimbursed for the season. This injury has left the 76ers with nothing. 10 Years of Exploring Flowers Evan . Turner: This guy hasn't been able to prove himself, let alone lead the team.

Although the 76ers have Anjie's two good brothers from last season, Gerrard. Wallace and Raymond . Felton, but the 76ers are still too weak in front of the Trail Blazers to fight back.

Felton was beaten by Lillard, a young replacement, and Wallace is still suffering from injuries. And caused Gerald . What Wallace couldn't shake up was the elbow that Bynum, the "star of the house" of the 76ers, gave Wallace. The world is really wonderful...... Now these two enemies are actually playing on the same team, and they are also injured at the same time......

Anjie played this game with ease, Thaddeus . Yang and Lavoy . Aaron's two inside lines can't even catch up with half of An Jie's.

Height, Body, Technique, Consciousness ...... The 76ers' interior combination is a total defeat and no advantage.

An Jie scores when he wants to score on the inside, and no one can really stop him at all. Of course, if a foul counts, then this sentence is still up for debate.

An Jie broke through the inside line, and the outside group of the Trail Blazers became more and more crazy. By the end, Catherine almost even fell asleep in the stands. Because the result and process of the game are too boring and boring. Competitive sports competitions that lose suspense are the least popular among all fans.

87-104, the Trail Blazers ended their 2012 campaign with a 17-point win at home.

After the game, Angel and Filton hugged each other affectionately and asked him to bring greetings like Gerard Wallace. It's just that An Jie can see how reluctant Felton is to leave the Rose Garden.

Although the Trail Blazers lost in the Western Conference Finals last year, there are too many memories of Felton's struggle and victory.

And this season Felton is with the 76ers, and there is nothing but defeat and depression......

With 22 wins and 6 losses, the Trail Blazers still occupy the top spot in the West at the end of 2012. But this ranking will definitely not satisfy Anjie.

His wish is not simply to be first in the regular season, but to win that supreme trophy in 2013.

The first place in the west is just the beginning of a succession.
