"The Trail Blazers have officially announced that Aldridge and George Ricard are out of action indefinitely!"

"Nell Orsi: I'm saddened by the departure of George and LaMarcus, but the Trail Blazers aren't going down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"George Ricard's chronic bronchitis is getting worse, Lillard: I didn't know about it. ”

Aldridge has a back injury and is expected to be able to catch the final train to the playoffs. ”

As always, the news of the Trail Blazers dominated the headlines of various portals and newspapers. It's just that today, the content of the news is not to say that the Trail Blazers have won again, but to report on what happened to the Trail Blazers without exception.

The loss of a starter for a team is bad enough. And the Trail Blazers not only lost their starters, but also their head coach. This is not a one-way encounter, and teams in the West are gearing up for an opportunity to overtake the Trail Blazers, who have dominated the NBA for half a season.

No matter how much Rickard didn't want to lie in the hospital, no matter how strong Aldridge's heart was. The Trail Blazers must now carry a heavy burden on their shoulders.

Among them, Anjie's pressure is undoubtedly the greatest.

As the star and leader of the team, Anjie now has to shoulder the responsibility of three people by himself.

If the Trail Blazers' performance is too bad in the future, maybe some people will say that Divac is not coaching, and maybe some people will say that Lillard is still too immature. But there is no doubt that most people will point the finger at An Jie.

As the most high-profile star of the season, he received as much applause as he succeeded and as much skepticism as he received when he failed.

Wu Hua couldn't help but be a little worried, the defending champion, 72 wins, Rickard and Aldridge injured...... With so many burdens, will An Jie be crushed?

For this reason, he also called and chatted with An Jie, hoping that he could help An Jie solve problems.

But An Jie's tone on the phone was surprisingly calm.

"I'm not scared at all, you can rest assured, Angkor. When I get to the basketball court, I will burst out with all my strength. We're having some difficulties right now, but as long as we grit our teeth and work hard, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Listening to An Jie's words, Wu Hua couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Although An Jie is young, he has always been a trustworthy character.

"The next game is the Rockets, who are fourth in the West, and the team will face such an opponent in the first game after suffering bad luck, will it be a little ......?"

"It's okay, the Rockets haven't beaten us this season. Tomorrow's game will be no exception!" An Jie's firm tone sounded full of confidence!

Wu Hua turned his head and looked at the dense photos of An Jie on the wall of his office. Each of these photos has witnessed AnJie's growth.

When the Thunder defeated the Nuggets, Anthony fell in front of Anjie. In the playoffs against the Lakers that year, Anjie yelled at Xiangnon Brown, and Gasol protected Brown. and last year, when Anjie lifted the O'Brien Cup and Finals MVP trophies...... This photo evokes Wu Hua's review of An Jie's career.

yes, this guy never disappoints!

Last summer, with Howard "defecting" to Houston, the Rockets finally got rid of their status as a fish belly team this season.

James Harden, who has been in charge of himself, has proven his ability, plus Howard, who was able to replace James alone. The take-off of Team Rocket seems to be a sure thing.

As it turns out, the Rockets have really improved a lot this season. This time last season, the Rockets, led by Harden alone, were still struggling on the brink of the playoffs. But a year later, today, the Rockets are firmly in fourth place in the West.

It seems that the goal of the Rockets hierarchy to break into the Western Conference Finals is not impossible.

Coupled with the rise of "rich and handsome" Parsons, tough guard Beverley and Chinese-American Jeremy Lin, the Rockets were able to climb to fourth place in the West, and it really wasn't luck.

So, as Wu Hua said. The current Trail Blazers team met the Rockets, and they really drew a lower sign.

At this time, on the plane, Howard had been watching the video of An Jie's game. Harden squinted at the club's length last night, surprised that Howard would be so focused on an opponent.

Since leaving the Magic, Howard's personality seems to have changed dramatically.

The guy no longer has the usual smile on the court like he used to, maybe watching the people around him succeed, Howard, who is hungry for a championship, is starting to get grumpy and gloomy.

And Kobe's dissatisfaction with Howard also made Howard unsightly. Kobe Bryant and I'm not afraid, who else can bluff me?

"Dwight, what are you doing?" asked Harden curiously, but his eyes still didn't open.

"Of course, I took this opportunity to kill An Jie. Howard watched the video and watched it with great energy, and the confrontation between him and An Jie was always carried out in a joyful atmosphere. But now, Howard, who has been suppressed by An Jie for so many years, only has revenge in his heart.

"It's better to rest Dwight, what to do when you get on the field, the coach will tell you. "Harden really can't understand the point of watching the tape, it's supposed to be the manager's job, and the already hard players shouldn't put extra pressure on themselves.

"You have to get some rest, James, you played until the early hours of the morning yesterday, right?"

Howard's rhetorical question left Harden speechless, and the bearded Harden spread his hands and fell asleep on his own

Howard shook his head and continued to dive into the footage of the game. Defeat Anjie, defeat the Trailblazers, complete revenge, and reclaim his position as the first center.

Howard, already on that utilitarian road, has gone farther and farther......

"How's that man, this suit isn't bad, is it?" In the hospital, in Riccard's private room, two tall men were standing in front of Rickard's window. These two guys are both centers, and these two guys have made each other better.

"Yes, it's like a manager. Ricard looked Divac up and down, and had to admit that this scumbag-faced European really had some taste in a suit.

"Today is the first time to coach in your place, and I will try to follow your old set. "Divac is a legend of basketball in Europe, although he is a legend of the Kings. But taking charge of a team as head coach for the first time was not an easy task for Divac.

"It's okay Vlad, it won't be a problem. Hey, I don't want to watch a game and scream in the hospital room. Ann, what about you, how are you ready?" Rickard set his eyes on Angel.

"Just rest well, I'll wait for you back with better grades!"

"Come on, kick the Rockets' ass!" Rickard couldn't help but explode again.

An Jie smiled sinisterly: "I'm very happy!"

The Rockets' team bus had already pulled out of the hotel, and Anjie and Divac had driven out of the hospital and headed for the Moda Center.

A bad encounter, a strong opponent.

Will An Jie be able to fulfill his promise in the face of a powerful rocket? This high-profile war in the west has already begun to heat up.

Howard's battle with Anjie, the showdown between the Rockets and the incomplete Trail Blazers.

Do you silently accept the four consecutive defeats or get out of the predicament?
