"Westbrook meniscus tear, season reimbursement!"

The Thunder lost 100-112 to the Spurs, and Wei Shao's injury could change the trend of the playoffs. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Westbrook - shattered steel and iron bones. ”

Shocked, An Jie almost woke up in a panic the next day, and the first thing he did when he got up was to turn on the news, frantically searching for all the news related to Westbrook.

Under the beautiful sunshine outside the window, Anjie wished that he could see Westbrook only suffering from a minor injury and returning after a day or two of rest.

But to Anjie's despair, as long as the news about Westbrook is indispensable, there must be such horrific words as season reimbursement, the fall of talent, and a torn meniscus. None of the good news about Westbrook has been found, this guy has been pushed into the dark abyss.

After reading the news, Anjie tried to call Westbrook again. However, the sound coming from the earpiece is the system prompt that the other party has turned off the phone.

Anjie had no choice but to call Morris. Morris's voice, however, sounded equally depressed.

"That guy is back in Oklahoma now, he can't play Ann, and he can't play all the rest of the playoffs......" The last time Angel heard Morris speak in that tone was when Morris suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in college.

Although Morris himself was not injured this time, Morris also knew that if Westbrook could not play, the Thunder would not have a good chance of beating the Spurs. Even if they win against the Spurs, how will they deal with the Trail Blazers and the Heat? Morris's championship dream is already half shattered.

"Don't give up so quickly, Andrew, even without Russell, you should keep going!" Anjie originally just wanted to inquire about Westbrook, but now, he still has to worry about Morris's state.

"That's right...... But Ann, this time things are very different. Do your best, I don't want the Thunder guys to be wiped out. ”

The two men held the phone, but there was silence for a long time. The blow suffered by the Thunder team, it is impossible for An Jie to smooth it out with just a few words.

"Ann. In the end, it was Morris who broke the silence.

"Huh?"

"If the Thunder can still make it to the Western Conference Finals, then if we ...... If we can't. Please, bro, help me take out the spurs!"

An Jie listened, and couldn't help clenching his fists. The sunlight had now shone through the glass on An Jie's face, but the burning expression on An Jie's face seemed to be hotter than the sun outside the window......

Now, the entire basketball circle is clouded by the haze of Westbrook's injury. Not only for the Thunder, but also for the fans, the absence of the star is also a big regret in the playoffs.

Everyone focused their attention on the fate of Westbrook and the Thunder, and everyone once again lamented the brutality of the injury.

But at this very moment, out of sight. An Jie has arrived at the home team's training ground in Rose Garden ahead of schedule to start preparations for tonight's game.

Shooting trainer David Mason had just changed his clothes and stepped onto the court when he saw that Anjie had started to practice shooting.

Trainers usually arrive long before the players because they need to have everything they need for the training session to take place.

But Mason wasn't surprised when he saw that Anjie had started training. An Jie came earlier than that, and his early appearance at the training ground has become a norm in the Rose Garden.

"Hello Mason, come on, practice free throws with me. Seeing that Mason seemed to be almost busy, Anjie beckoned the somewhat fat white trainer to come over.

"What, what goal did you set for yourself today?" Mason knew that Anjie's free throws were already very accurate. As trainers, they can't ask Anjie to do better. Unless, An Jie made a request for himself.

'I didn't want to concede a penalty in the game today, I just had to try to score as much as I could. So, I want to find a shooting feel now. Under the huge overhead lights of the training ground, An Jie stared at the basket seriously. As a superstar, a deservedly No. 1 center in the league. Anjie is still serious even when it comes to simple training like free throws.

Because An Jie knows very well that even the most basic movements must be practiced countless times to be proficient. And without a foundation, it is naturally impossible to crawl in the direction of a higher order.

Mason admires An Jie's attitude very much, otherwise he would not have followed An Jie all the way from the Thunder to the Trail Blazers. He wants to help Anjie as much as possible, because Anjie is definitely the kind of person who deserves to be successful.

While Anjie and Mason were already sweating from the free-throw line, the rest of the Trail Blazers players appeared one after another.

With An Jie's behavior supervision, others are embarrassed to procrastinate. They all quickly changed their clothes and stepped into the training ground. After a while, the venue, where only An Jie and Mason were just now, became lively.

It was only after the players had warmed up that Ricard and Divac appeared on the sidelines.

The young coach, who had just been awarded the best coach a few days ago, blew the whistle that hung on his chest, and the Trail Blazers players all rolled over to Riccard as if they had heard the rallying call.

"Looks like you're in good spirits!" Ricard smiled as he looked at the energetic players.

"I hope you can keep that going until the evening, the Grizzlies are back, they're going to be tougher than they were in Game 1!

As Ricard spoke, Divac noticed that Anjie was not shouting as he normally would. This guy seems to have something on his mind?

Rickard was quick to get the job done, and the team's pre-match training was generally very targeted. Wesley Matthews, for example, was tasked with attracting the attention of Tony Allen as a three-point shooter. So while everyone else was practicing layups one by one, Matthews was practicing three-pointers on the side. Lillard, for example, practiced his dribbling skills in interference with a trainer.

Once everyone had more or less done their individual training, Rickard would gather everyone to run and run. Then, just wait for the evening game to officially begin.

And today, the task of Anjie and Aldridge is still a low-level offensive and defensive battle. Ricard knows that the most difficult thing for the Grizzlies to attack and defend is on the inside. Therefore, Anjie and Aldridge can only use the method of "hurting each other" to warm up for the war with the "black and white bear".

In yesterday's training, Aldridge used his fiery hand to throw Anjie so much that he couldn't lift his head. Today, Aldridge continues his hot form.

When An Jie was defending, the beautiful sound of the basketball crashing into the net never stopped. It's a good thing that Aldridge is hot, but if Anjie uses this level of defense to deal with the black and white bears, I'm afraid he won't be able to.

Divac walked to the sidelines, crossed his hands and looked at it. Anjie picked up the basketball from the ground again and threw him to Aldridge.

"Come again!" An Jie, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Aldridge didn't think much of it, and leaned on Anjie again. This time, he even saved the back-to-push and turned over and threw directly!

"Oh. Aldri let out a strange scream, and then, with a crisp sound, the basketball in his hand was fanned by Anjie. This voice simply resounded throughout the audience.

Anjie took a ball out of the basket and threw it to Aldridge. "Come again. ”

"Smack!" There was another crunch, and Aldridge's shot was blocked by Anjie again.

"Looks like I'm going to have to get serious, Ann. Seeing An Jie's serious expression, Aldridge didn't giggle anymore.

This time, Aldridge was holding the ball in the frame. This guy's nimble footwork makes his triple threat pace very dangerous, so An Jie also has to adjust his center of gravity.

"It's coming!" Aldridge lunged towards Anjie's left, Aldridge's own right. An Jie hurriedly retreated, for fear of being broken through by Aldridge.

Seeing that An Jie retreated very quickly, Aldridge suddenly stopped suddenly!

Aldridge's shot was very high, and that stop must have delayed Anjie's blocking. Divac shook his head, and Anjie's defense failed again.

However, in the next second, Divac saw An Jie change his center of gravity and jump forward. Seeing that Aldridge was about to make a move, Anjie stretched out his arm vigorously, and finally, let his fingers rub against Aldridge's shot.

The basketball was rubbed by An Jie like this, and the flight trajectory was changed. This was originally a hollow ball, but it was turned into a "hollow outside the basket" by An Jie.

Divac's mouth was wide open, just now even he thought that Anjie's defense had failed. However, Anjie's ability to adjust his center of gravity and desire for blocking have greatly exceeded Divac's expectations.

"Damn, what kind of medicine did you guys take. Aldridge shook his head helplessly, after his shots were in quick succession. It's good now, it's Anjie's turn to make hot pots one after another.

"You're really pushing me LaMarcus, but don't worry, Zach isn't me, he can't cover you. Anjie patted Aldridge's chest, and Divac smiled with satisfaction. Ricard's arrangement seems to have forced Aldridge to his best. And Aldridge, who is accustomed to Anjie's defense, will suddenly feel a lot easier when facing Randolph.

"Alright, let's come and run together!" Seeing that Angel and Aldridge's side seemed to be over the fight, Ricard gathered everyone and entered the final stage of pre-match training.

In the tactical drill, An Jie was very serious, and his performance was particularly good.

Westbrook's injury itself touched Anjie and made him even more hungry for victory. Now, Aldridge's fierce firepower has also allowed Anjie to adjust his defensive form to a new level.

Without one of these two conditions, An Jie will not be stimulated. Yesterday Aldridge was just as good, but isn't Anjie's defense the same as usual?

Maybe the Grizzlies are well prepared, but it's a pity. This ambitious grizzly bear is going to be unlucky.

"Do you know what you did?" Divac whispered to Ricard as the players raced across the pitch.

"Didn't I? not just bring two monsters to the grizzly bear. Rickard laughed evilly, this guy didn't intend to give the Grizzlies a chance to breathe from the beginning!

In a few hours, the second game of the Western Conference semifinals will begin. Let's hope the grizzlies have a big appetite, or they won't be able to eat the full Manchu meal that Ricard has prepared.
