After working hard for so long, An Jie was finally not selected for the best defensive team in a perfunctory manner, but really held the Player of the Year award in his hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For a player who takes it as a defender, winning this award will definitely make him happy for days. An Jie is no exception, now that he has returned home, he still can't sleep after tossing and turning.

In the middle of this season, Anjie and Durant had already lifted the All-Star Game MVP trophy at the same time. In other words, the best defensive player is Anjie's second individual award this season.

Previously, An Jie also won the Asian Championship MVP, Rookie Game MVP and other honors. There has never been a time when An Jie is as excited as today.

No way, the gold content of the Defensive Player of the Year is not comparable to those small awards. This is the recognition of An Jie by the entire basketball circle, and it is also the best proof that An Jie dominates the restricted area!

Dwight Howard, who was waning on the Magic, had to be resurrected, or Angel, Ibaka or Morris would all have a good chance of riding on his head.

An Jie held the trophy that was not golden but very delicate, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV.

It's already ten o'clock in the evening, but An Jie still wants to see the news that he won the best defensive player award through the news. However, not long after watching it, the smile on An Jie's face gradually solidified.

Just minutes ago, the San Antonio Spurs, who finished first in the West during the regular season, successfully defeated the Mavericks at the American Airlines Center Arena to advance to the next round of the playoffs with a total score of 4-0. The Spurs' opponent in the next round will be the Portland Trail Blazers, who also advanced by sweeping the opponent. The match between the two teams will be played after the first round of matchups is over, and everyone is welcome to tune in to the live broadcast of the game brought to you by ESPN. Okay, now let's move on to the next piece of news. Just today, the NBA officially announced the winner of this season's Defensive Player of the Year, Portland Trail Blazers center Ann ...... "Before the news was finished, Ander turned off the TV. In an instant, he was not in the mood to watch the news anymore, and the joy of winning the award was also reduced a lot.

Swept the defending champions, ranked first in the West in the regular season, San Antonio Spurs...... This name, like a heavy stone, weighed heavily on An Jie's broad shoulders.

Unexpectedly, in the second round, I actually met them. Facing the Spurs, how many players can laugh?

It's true that Duncan isn't as energetic as Griffin, and Parker isn't as agile as Paul. But when the Spurs put together, they could be the strongest team! The most terrifying thing was the old man who was in charge of this great team, named Greg Popovich.

Just beat the Clippers, just dealt with the deadly impact of Paul and Griffin. But before he could catch a breath, the next stronger opponent had already found his door.

Wave after wave, this is the highly competitive playoffs.

"The Mavericks are too uncompetitive. "The pressure on Riccard is even greater than Anjie's, if Anjie is only facing Duncan, who is not at his peak, and what Ricard needs to fight against is indeed just won the Coach of the Year award Dodo Popovich!

When he first started as a high school basketball team coach, Rickard learned many of his tactical ideas and ideas from Popovich. Popovich has always been one of the few idols of Ricard.

In college, Rickard often studied Popovich's moves. Because in his opinion, only a master tactician like Popovich can make it possible to improve himself.

Unexpectedly, now, Rickard has to face his idol and teacher in the playoffs!

"Mavericks...... It's too discouraged...... "What else is Ricard to say but to repeat this sentence?"

As the defending champion, the Mavericks, who have lost much strength this season, are the ideal second-round opponent for the Trail Blazers. While still playing against the Clippers, Rickard prayed to God more than once, praying that the Dallas Mavericks would successfully complete the Black Eight and beat the Spurs to advance to the second round. It's a pity that the gap in strength between the Mavericks and the Spurs is not something that Ricard can fill in with a few prayers. Although the performance of the "German tank" Nowitzki is still eye-catching, in terms of overall strength, the Mavericks are still too far behind the Spurs.

Now, this terrible opponent has finally fallen to the Trail Blazers.

There's no way, since you can't hide, then you can only bravely face it!

Rickard stopped complaining, listened to a piano tune, drank a strong cup of black coffee, and pressed his temples with the thumbs of both hands. Suddenly, Rickard's spirits seemed much better. He opened the video of the Spurs' first-round series and started his next round of brainstorming......

For the Trail Blazers, the Spurs are a dangerous opponent. For the Spurs, why not the Trail Blazers?

In the regular season, the two sides won and lost each other, and there was no difference between the top and the bottom. The Spurs couldn't dominate the Trail Blazers, who struggled to beat the Spurs. Therefore, the Spurs' GDP and Popovich are not much easier than Anjie and Ricard.

"I said back then, Anna Kid is definitely going to be a big obstacle in our careers. On the second day of training, Popovich first gathered his players for a tactical lesson in the conference room. And the object of their research is naturally the Trail Blazers.

Looking at An Jie's wonderful goals and exquisite assists on the TV screen, Duncan, who usually doesn't talk much, suddenly popped out with such a sentence.

"Your mouth stinks. The response to Duncan was naturally the Spurs' metronome, "French sports car" Tony Parker. When Duncan fought An Jie for the first time in 08, Duncan looked at An Jie's figure and said this to Parker.

At the time, Parker wasn't impressed. It's remarkable that such a thin Chinese player can gain a foothold in the NBA. When someone doesn't eat meat, An Jie occasionally performs well in a few games, which doesn't mean anything.

didn't expect that An Jie's excellence would be excellent until now. And Duncan's words finally became a reality four years later.

Facing the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals is indeed a big obstacle to the Spurs' journey.

"You've all seen it, defending the Spurs, you can't leave them a little bit of space! Yes, when playing against the Clippers, you may be able to let go of Jordan Jr. for a while, and you can miss Mo Williams from beyond the three-point line. But against the Spurs, this kind of hypothetical leakage is absolutely not allowed to happen! As long as you miss any Spurs player on the court, I'm talking about anyone!Then thanks to Popovich's system, you will definitely pay for it!"Like Popovich, the first thing Ricard did when he assembled the team the next day was to take his players to study the footage.

If you want to beat your opponent, the first thing you need to do is to understand your opponent. And analyzing the video footage of the game is undoubtedly the best way to achieve this goal.

"Ann? That guy is really strong, but we still can't give up on defending him. What we have to do is not to stop him from scoring fewer points, but to try to make him score points in an inefficient way as much as possible. After watching so many videos of Ann, did anyone find anything?" Popovich said, suddenly asking the players below a question.

But when Popovich asked, there was no word below.

"In addition to the all-around technique and terrifying defense, do these game footage show Anjie's shortcomings?" said most of the players, in response to Popovich's question.

However, one of them seriously recalled everything he had just seen and thought about it.

"He uses his left hand to attack significantly less often than his right, and he likes long passing, but the Trail Blazers' guard isn't as fast as Westbrook. Duncan raised his hand and replied with two points.

"Not bad Tim, forcing Anjie to attack the frame with his left hand, I think we should be able to get an unexpected surprise. Beware of Ann's long passes from the back, which can bring him more mistakes. Of course, Ann's weaknesses are not limited to these, for example...... "Popovich is a master tactician, and the details are different from others." The player's right and left hand habits can't escape Popovich's eyes.

Of course, Duncan, who discovered these as a player, was even more sophisticated.

"One-on-one close defense, less co-defense, less packing, and watch out for your own people. The Spurs are a team that does a very good job of passing the ball, and too casual help defense and wrapping will not only fail to consolidate the defense, but will expose their weaknesses to the enemy. Trust me, the Spurs won't miss a chance, so don't leave anything to chance. "Popo Vic was setting up for Angel in San Antonio, Portland was here and Ricard was also for the players to dissect the characteristics of the Spurs. Both teams are incompatible with each other and are frantically adding to their arsenals.

With only one day to prepare for the game, both managers were eager to pour their findings into the minds of their players. When it came to the field, it was a real thing. Only by increasing the "inventory" frantically now, the chances of victory will be greater when you get on the field.

"Okay, everyone go out and prepare, let's use the tactics tomorrow and run simply. After an hour's rest after training, we set sail for San Antonio!" Riccard clapped his palms after watching the video. Be well prepared, it's always harmless.

By the time the Portland bus arrived at the airport, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. An Jie, who was originally asleep in the car, was woken up by Aldridge on the side.

"Look at Ann!" Aldridge smiled and pointed out the window.

An Jie looked out the window with hazy eyes, but in the next second, his eyes suddenly widened.

Outside Portland International Airport, countless Pioneer Team fans stood on both sides of the sidewalk holding signs with various slogans written on them, seeing off their heroes!

Although most of these people can't go to the stadium to watch the game, their hearts are connected with the Trail Blazers who are about to fly far away.

The warriors of the Fractured City are not fighting alone! they themselves represent the Fractured City!

It wasn't until the plane lifted off and climbed so high that it was impossible to see through the thick clouds that Angel's right hand that was placed in his heart was finally taken off.

The reason why he did this action was to let the fans who saw them off all the way know. I have taken your expectations to heart!

A strong sense of mission came to her heart, and returning from San Antonio with victory has become Anjie's next goal!

Wait, people of the Fractured City. The king here is destined to return triumphantly!
