Chapter 459: The first day is finished

Even though the Trail Blazers were about to face the Bulls without Rose in the next day's game, Anjie's preparation did not show any slack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rose, who was unfortunately injured in the playoffs last season, will miss all the games of the 12-13 season. This not only casts a shadow over the career of the youngest MVP, Rose, but also deals a heavy blow to the newly rising Bulls.

Last season, the Bulls made the playoffs as the first team in the East. This season, their best wish is simply to hope that no one in the squad gets injured again. Such a team and the trailblazers are not at the same level at all.

But in Spike Lee's lens, Anjie is still serious about training herself.

"I'm not just doing this for the next game. It's for the whole season, for my whole career. In response to Spike Lee's question, Anjie replied with a smile. This guy is never satisfied with the present, and perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Anjie can be successful.

On race day, Spike Lee plans to focus on the shoot. Fans often only see Anjie wreaking havoc on the field, but what is he like in the dressing room? What does he say on the bench? Fans want to know Anjie in all aspects, and Spike Lee gives them an all-round Anjie.

What Spike Lee didn't expect, however, was that he would be able to capture this image outside the Rose Garden Course.

Two young men were laughing and running towards the camera, their tight shirts already wet with sweat. In the face of the photographer, they didn't deliberately look in the direction of the camera, after all, being photographed is simply commonplace for these two guys.

The two tall, dark-skinned men who went for a morning jog around the Rose Garden Stadium were the two cornerstones of the Trail Blazers, Angel and LaMarcus Aldridge.

LaMarcus said a morning jog around the Rose Garden before a home game would bring him good luck. So, we do it a lot. Spike Lee's documentaries are interspersed with a lot of Anjie's monologues, which is equivalent to an exclusive interview. And this is Anjie's answer to Spike Lee's question, "What do you mean by running around the stadium?"

Warm-ups, training, rests, fighting in the locker room. Spike Lee is greedily filming all the footage he can get, and this guy is already starting to figure out how to edit it into a brilliant documentary. And Anjie is also starting to think about how to make sure the team doesn't capsize in the gutter in tonight's game.

Finally, the evening game is about to begin. Before the game, Spike Lee spotted an interesting image of the Trail Blazers' bench inside lineman Meyers Leonard, who would always practice with Anjie a few times during the pre-game warm-up. The white rookie seems to have a lot of trust and admiration for An Jie.

Once the race started, Spike Lee's mission was easy. He and the photographer only had to take pictures of An Jie in the whole game, and the rest of the matter was completely done in the editing.

For AnJie, the hardest part of the day's work has just begun.

Despite the absence of Rose, the Bulls have been tenacious this season. They only topped the East in the regular season last season, and they can't afford to go to the lottery this season.

No superstars, no super scorers. Tom Thibodeau, a disciple of Jeff Van Gundy, used his master's best tricks, teamwork and defense.

Noah, Boozer, Deng, Hamilton, Hinrich, the Bulls' starting five can only be described as shabby in front of the Trail Blazers. But once the game started, the Bulls were all soldiers, everyone stood up and scored, and everyone was willing to share the ball.

All of them are so hard working that you can't tell that they are a team that has lost its star in the house.

And the defense that the Bulls are proud of has caused a lot of trouble for the Trail Blazers. Spike Lee thought that Anjie would play a relaxed and happy game, but halfway through the first quarter, the two sides still did not distinguish between the two sides.

Seeing this, Rickard could no longer sit still. Although the Trail Blazers are not at a disadvantage, Riccard still does not want to see the opponent bite the score in the face of a team that is actually mediocre. He needs an advantage, the kind of advantage that is built from the beginning of the game to the last minute! If the Trail Blazers are planted on top of that game, it will be a real loss.

"Who do you think you're fighting against! yes, Derrick Rose is really important to the Bulls. But that doesn't mean the Bulls won't be able to fight back without Rose!" Ricard can see that his men, who have been playing so well so far this season, are a little self-aggrandizing. If it weren't for Anjie still staying awake on the court, the Bulls might be ahead by now.

"Alright guys, the boss is right, we shouldn't be pushed so badly by them! An Jie said, gesturing to the fans in the stands of the Rose Garden.

"Good fellow, people want to listen to him. Spike Lee naturally didn't let go of the scene when he just paused, but what he didn't expect was that Ann, as an "outsider" from a distant land, could have such a high prestige among the pioneers. When he speaks, everyone else listens and doesn't interject. Some might say that Nowitzki was the same with the Mavericks, but you have to know that this is Anjie's second season with the Trail Blazers.

After a timeout, Kirk Hinrich, who replaced Rose as the Bulls' starting No. 1, confidently put up a defensive stance, they always heard before the game how strong the Trail Blazers are, but judging by the current state of the game, the young Trail Blazers are no more than that!

Just when Sinrich was secretly admiring his team's defensive system, Lillard suddenly accelerated, and he rushed straight at Hinrich!

"Silly boy!" Hinrich thought Lillard was going to make a hard break, and he shifted his position to wait for the offensive foul to come to the door.

However, just as Lillard and Hinrich were about to collide, Lillard suddenly changed direction to the left, and Hinrich only felt a gust of wind hanging on his cheeks. What about Lillard? Lillard has broken through Hinrich and rushed headlong inside.

"Lillard's non-slowing down change of direction! Hinrich didn't react! Oh my God, this guy is actually going to beat the Bulls the way Rose does!" Mike Brin didn't expect that Lillard, who has always been considered to be physically inferior, has repeatedly completed jaw-dropping performances on the court. This kind of guy was actually selected with the sixth pick, and Mike Brin had to wonder if God and his old man were just joking with the Trailblazers. Once he ruined two future pillars of the Trail Blazers, and now, he's using Lillard to compensate.

Lillard has a lot of options after penetrating the inside, he can either shoot directly or continue to go deeper, and of course, breaking through the ball is Lillard's forte.

Lillard saw that Noah and Boozer had formed a "net" and were ready to capture him at any time. In this case, Anjie and Aldridge must have room to make a move!

Thinking of this, Lillard jumped suddenly, and Noah thought that the little guard was going to dunk, so he quickly rushed out of the ambush circle and made up for the basket.

Unexpectedly, after Lillard stretched out in the air, he slipped the ball back of his head and gave it to Aldridge.

Aldridge didn't let the basketball stay in his hand for long, he caught the ball and passed, and when the camera finally stopped dangling with the basketball, people saw Anjie who had unknowingly run out of the empty space.

An open mid-range shooting opportunity, Anjie will not even be unable to grasp this kind of ball.

This time, although the Trail Blazers only scored two points, Anjie officially sounded the horn of offense.

In the ensuing game, the tenacious Bulls would not let the Trail Blazers stretch the margin too much, but they could not effectively crack the score. The difference between the two teams has been circulating in the range of 5 to 8 points, and whenever the Bulls see hope, the Trail Blazers will use their strength to pour cold water on them mercilessly.

In fact, the Bulls' tactics are executed very well, but in the case that neither side can completely restrain the other, the importance of the individual ability of the players is revealed.

Whenever they hit a stalemate, all the Bulls could do was make a reluctant shot. On the Trail Blazers' side, there are more guys who can break the deadlock.

Anjie grabbed offensive rebounds more than once to complete the second offense, and Lillard and Aldridge also frequently hit their opponents with unbelievable but ultimately hit the basketball. The Bulls are still tenacious, but they can't win a basketball game by being tenacious alone.

Then, Nate Robinson, the "little potato" on the Bulls bench, stepped up. The "shortest dunk king" came with his hands open outside the three-point line and almost helped the Bulls overtake the score. However, when Ricard sent Iguodala to play against Nate Robinson, the 1.75-year-tall guy seemed to disappear. If it weren't for his height being so conspicuous, maybe the fans would have forgotten about him.

The Bulls players and Thibodeau still didn't give up, and they fought the Trail Blazers until the last minute. Especially Joakim Noah, who made Anjie make 3 mistakes in the fourth quarter. An Jie has always been synonymous with apparent stability, with 3 turnovers in a single quarter, which is the first time in his career.

Even so, the Bulls, who had a clear gap in hard power, lost with a score of 94-102. Spike Lee hurriedly beckoned the photographers to rush forward, and if the reporters had preempted the opportunity, many precious shots would not have been captured.

The atmosphere in the dressing room after the game was much calmer than Spike Lee had imagined. The Trail Blazers are young, and even their coach is a young coach. So Lee thought their dressing room was going to be very lively, but in fact, it was very lively before the game started.

It's just that after the game, everyone was very tired. And the victory in this game was completely expected. If you lose, the locker room will be even more noisy.

In the first game after the ban, An Jie vented the strength he had held for a long time. 33 points and 16 rebounds, this statistic is enough to make him dominate the headlines of major sports newspapers. At the same time, Spike Lee's shooting is officially on track.

The bull is just the first step to show the world a true Anjie. The observation of a game is not enough.
