"Paul George is out for a month and will miss the entire Finals!"

"The Trail Blazers lost their second general!"

"The injury curse once again hangs over the torn city, and the Trail Blazers' injury history is recounted. ”

The next day, the media was overwhelmingly reporting that the news was not that the Trail Blazers had advanced to the Finals. Because Paul George's injury is undoubtedly more noticeable than the victory over the Thunder.

The Trail Blazers defeated the Thunder, and Anjie cut down exaggerated stats and sent a stunner. These are all things of the past. And people tend to be more curious about what didn't happen.

With the loss of Lillard and the loss of Paul George, does the Trail Blazers still have a chance to win? This has become the most concerned question for fans now.

It's fair to say that almost everyone, with the exception of local Portland fans and Chinese fans, felt that the Cavaliers would win by a landslide.

The Cavaliers have been the dominant player in the East for several years, and they just won the championship trophy the year before last. Moreover, James has reached the Finals for the eighth consecutive year. For a player and team with a lot of experience in the Finals, they rarely play out of the way on the Finals stage.

On top of that, the Cavaliers' roster has also become quite terrifying after last summer's upgrade. Despite the loss of Irving, the addition of Isaiah Thomas has undoubtedly kept the Cavaliers at a high level of effectiveness. Moreover, Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade, who were signed by the Cavaliers with a base salary, are also a force to be reckoned with.

These guys, coupled with the Cavaliers' already very strong lineup, are bound to bring huge trouble to the Trail Blazers, and even the Trail Blazers can't stop it.

After Lillard's injury, the Trail Blazers' firepower on the offensive end has been greatly reduced, and the defense will also be affected to some extent. Morris is great, but he's just a character like Rodman or Ben Wallace. At 33 years old, Iguodala may barely be considered a star, but how far can Iguodala go when it comes to James?

As for the others, others may be the indispensable pieces of the puzzle for the Trail Blazers, but they are by no means the key to being able to influence the situation!

Judging from the lineup on paper alone, the Trail Blazers after suffering from injuries cannot be compared with the star-studded Cavaliers. Because of this, almost the whole world has decided that the Trail Blazers have lost the game.

"The league can already award the O'Brien Cup to LeBron early because it's pretty much the least suspenseful Finals in NBA history. Anjie's old nemesis, Sam Smith, is probably one of the journalists most willing to see this situation, and after two years of hard work, he is about to explode. As a result, he was hit by an injury.

This guy uses words differently to drive the rhythm, as if the Cavaliers have won the championship.

"Beam-jumping clown. Anjie took the newspaper from Meyers Leonard's hand, looked at the signature, crumpled the newspaper and threw it in the trash.

As long as it is news related to Sam Smith, Anjie will not look at it. After all, after the end of Jordan's era, this guy has no ability left except for producing text garbage.

"You won't believe this nonsense, Leonard. An Jie raised his head and asked seriously.

Meyers Leonard hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't want Anjie to think he was scared.

"That's good, it's not your first time playing in the finals, man. From joining the Trail Blazers to now, everything I've been through, you've experienced it all. Now, an opportunity for revival is before us. So we can't give up no matter what, understand!?" said Anjie, placing his hand on Leonard's shoulder.

Leonard suddenly felt that he was full of strength, Anjie needed him, and the city needed him. And he will definitely fight for the city to the end!

Watching Meyers Leonard confidently return to the court to start training, Anjie smiled softly. The absence of Lillard and George is indeed a big loss for the Trail Blazers. But look at the front of you, aren't there still so many people who are struggling with you?

They may not be as lightning fast as Lillard, and they may not be able to run through the defense as easily as George. But when An Jie squeezed these guys tightly together, the strength of the Trail Blazers was still very huge!

In the days that have been in between the Western Conference Finals and the Finals, the outside world has been filled with all sorts of rhetoric that is not good for the Trail Blazers. Many experts have even written seemingly convincing articles to demonstrate how far the gap between the two sides is.

If you can't believe these statements, then the odds offered by the bookmakers to win the championship are rigorously calculated.

Bookmakers need to make a profit, so of course they have to calculate exactly what is possible. Therefore, the odds of the bookmaker are often very telling.

However, even so, the odds of the Trail Blazers winning the championship are still as high as 4.37. To put it bluntly, the bookmaker directly believes that the Trail Blazers will not be able to win the championship at all!

Everyone was talking about this unusual grand final, some were gloating, others were heartbroken. However, the protagonist of this incident, the Portland Trail Blazers themselves, suddenly disappeared from public view as if the world had evaporated.

LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers, reporters can talk to them between practice. And the fully enclosed training of the Portland Trail Blazers made it impossible for reporters to shoot even a second of footage!

There is no doubt that the team, which has already been condemned to death by the outside world, does not seem to want people to know what they are doing......

"I'm sorry Mr. Xiao Hua, just give me two days, I only need two days. When the finals start, I'll make sure everything is back to normal. In Knell Orsi's office, the most successful Trail Blazers general manager ever, was nervously talking on the phone.

"Rules are rules, Nell. You're not a rookie anymore, how can you help them do such a funny thing!" The guy on the other end of the phone called "Xiao Hua" was none other than the then NBA commissioner, Adam Xiao Hua!

The Trail Blazers' fully enclosed training has already infuriated seamless reporters. According to league rules, the Trail Blazers should have unconditionally opened their doors on media day to allow reporters to take any footage of the team's practice. This is a hard rule made by the NBA league for each team in order to improve the relationship with the media and to make it more exposed.

You can have your players do nothing on the day of the media open day, but you can't obstruct reporters from coming in to shoot or even interview.

But this rule has now been completely broken by Ricard. No matter how much the reporters were fussing, Rickard just wouldn't open the door.

Time is running out for the Trail Blazers to adjust, and Ricard doesn't want his players to be delayed or distracted by that. With the media coming in, can the team still train with one mind? All kinds of filming and interviews will make the whole training plan go to naught.

Moreover, even if the Trail Blazers insist on training seriously, and as a result, the training content is broadcast, what effect will Calder's change have?

Therefore, even if the reporters have jointly signed a letter to complain, even if Xiao Hua's phone call has been made to Orsi's office, the way he got the call is still the same sentence. "I'm sorry Mr. Adam, but I still can't let the media in. I promise it's the last two days, and after two days, everything is back to normal. But now, my coaches and players just want to train with peace of mind!"

"The Trail Blazers are going to be punished severely!Nell, do you know what you're doing!?" Adam Shaw, a seemingly friendly guy who doesn't take a hard job of dealing with violations.

Media day is a key measure for the league and the media to build a good relationship, and the Trail Blazers make such a fuss, isn't it intended to let the league fall into speech? Xiao Hua doesn't care what way you win, but you can't harm the interests of the league!

Orr Nelsey listened to Xiao Hua's final warning on the phone, and cast his eyes from the floor-to-ceiling window of his second-floor office to the training ground.

On the field, Ricard was still dancing and shouting. Divac, on the other hand, kept recording on the side. The team doctor watched the players as if they were the enemy, and even if someone fell, the person who fell would be examined by them for a long time.

The Trail Blazers, on the other hand, were all sweaty, they were definitely exhausted, and they only spent a few hours a day with their families. But under the leadership of Anjie, no player has ever complained because of this. The Trail Blazers' closed training is not set up to deliberately get along with the media. This group of guys, this team, really wants to win!

"Nell, Nell!?" Shaw yelled, pulling Nell Orsi's thoughts back to reality.

"Did you hear me?"

"I'll listen, Mr. Xiao Hua. ”

"Now let the security guard let me go immediately, the media open day must be carried out normally! In the same Finals, the Cavaliers have not made such a special case? Throughout the history of the NBA, no team has ever made such a special case!" Xiao Hua's tone continued to increase.

Look at the players sweating on the field, and look at the three hard-won championship pennants on the ceiling of the training ground. Orsi didn't know where the courage came from, but he opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry Mr. Xiao Hua, I can't meet your request! I also said that, after the first game of the finals, I will let everything go back to normal!" After saying that, Orsi hung up the phone directly and ripped off the phone cord.

Anjie and they all work so hard, and Orsie, who is the general manager, must also do something for them! A training environment that allows the players to concentrate is all that Orsie can do!

"I'm gambling on my job, Ann. You've got to win. Orsi lit a cigarette and looked at Anjie, who was guiding his teammates on the pitch.

"It was a smart move to bring you from Oklahoma in the first place. Orsi, who watched the training ground, spat out smoke rings and smiled and muttered to himself in his heart......
