"Hey, Maurice, get up!" An Jie was woken up by the alarm clock early in the morning, and the first thing he did after waking up, An Jie habitually shouted. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But in response to Anjie, there was only the barking of the neighbor's Jack and his wife's puppy. Maurice isn't here, this isn't Oklahoma, he's in the City of Tears right now.

"Damn, it's all a habit. An Jie immediately went to the toilet to wash her face to make herself more awake on this cold morning. Portland's new home is good for everything, but it's a little less popular.

In such a big house, only An Jie lives in it alone every day, and the Jack couple in the villa next door are very enthusiastic, but it is impossible for people to accompany them all the time. I used to be used to staying in Oklahoma and Morris, but now I suddenly live alone, even though almost half a month has passed, An Jie is still a little uncomfortable.

But this morning, the loneliness didn't haunt An Jie for long. After a simple wash, he went out and drove the airlifted car towards the rose garden. Before leaving last night, he told Aldridge that he would meet him on time at half past seven to start the day's preparations.

In the past, Anjie would go directly to the training ground after arriving at the stadium, but today, Aldridge asked Anjie to meet at the gate of the Rose Garden Stadium. An Jie was a little confused, but he still arrived on time. However, when he parked the car and walked out, he did not see Aldridge.

"Whew...... Call...... ......Soon, An Jie heard a wheezing sound. Looking in the direction the figure came from, Aldridge finally emerged from the horizon.

"That's what you mean by warming up?" Anjie looked at Aldridge in surprise, he had never noticed that Aldridge would go for a morning run around the Rose Garden Stadium before, just like Aldridge only knew yesterday that Anjie would be practicing in the evening.

"Of course, come with me, Ann, you haven't changed your clothes yet? Aldridge put his arm around Anjie's shoulders and began to run forward, and the two big men ran side by side, running in the light of Portland, inhaling the freshest air at the entrance of the Rose Garden.

"I run a few laps around the Rose Garden before every race, and I get lucky. I don't know why, but it just works. In the process of jogging, Aldridge explained to Anjie the origin of his "wonderful" warm-up method.

"I don't know if the American methods will work for the Chinese. "Anjie was sweating profusely, even though it was winter in Portland.

"As long as you're a member of the Trailblazers, this move will definitely be smart!" Aldridge said, increasing his speed. The fifth lap, this is already the fifth lap of the two running around the rose garden.

Those who are familiar with An Jie know that An Jie is always the first to come to the training ground, but today, people have not seen him for a long time.

However, when Anjie and Aldridge stepped onto the court at the same time, people found that the clothes of both guys were soaked. Needless to say, Aldridge must have dragged Anjie for a run.

It's no secret that Aldridge likes to go for a morning run around the pitch, and he always goes out for a few laps on important race days.

"Ann, it looks like you're almost done with your warm-up?" Riccard looked at his two aces with interest, the better their relationship, the better the chemistry they could have on the court.

"I can already start training straight away, the LaMarcus warm-up method...... I advise you not to try it. An Jie said and wiped his sweat exaggeratedly, and the training ground was suddenly filled with laughter.

Aldridge also giggled, but he didn't say anything. This silent guy always likes to be silent, but he has a good relationship with everyone on the team.

"Alright, let's get back to business. Tim Duncan, I don't think I need to go into too much detail. You've got a lot of work to do today, but I want you to put your heart and soul into your fight against Duncan. Leave the rest to your teammates. "Ricard's intention is very clear, what to help defend, what to fill, Aldridge does not have to be involved. Knocking Duncan to death, that's Aldridge's only task today.

Rickard's arrangement in this way is actually a sign of confidence in Anjie. He believes that the Trail Blazers' interior defense is enough to use Anjie alone. Even without Aldridge's assistance, he thinks Anjie can handle everything.

Aldridge looked at Duncan's name on the board, the joints of both fists turning white from the clenching. If it were Anjie or Morris, they would have said something like "no problem, I'll make him look good". But Aldridge still didn't say anything. He is the silent and low-key, but very dangerous killer.

After that, Aldridge's expression remained serious. Even though Anjie's joke in the locker room made everyone laugh, Aldridge still maintained a serious expression. This guy is fully in the game.

Play against Duncan, one of the world's greatest power forwards and his own idol. For Aldridge, this means a lot.

Time flies, and the Rose Garden Arena goes from empty to unattended. The dressing room, which was once quiet, could not escape the fate of being masked by cheers. The soundproofing of the locker rooms in the Rose Garden is already among the best in the league, but even this cannot stop the warm atmosphere from the stadium.

Just now, the players of the Trail Blazers just appeared on the court to warm up, and they have already mobilized the enthusiasm of the fans. Seeing An Jie's appearance at the competition scene after the repair surgery, the people of the torn city couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts.

"There's nothing to say! Today we have a neat lineup and everything is ready! We don't accept a second outcome except victory!" Ricard didn't say anything about tactics in the last minute, because what should have been said had already been arranged, but he successfully mobilized the emotions of the Trail Blazers players with his impassioned speech.

When Aldridge saw Duncan again, his eyes were no longer full of admiration, but full of murder!

"Congratulations on your comeback, though I don't want to see you now. Before jumping the ball, Duncan made a joke at An Jie in the middle circle, which can be regarded as a greeting.

"Don't worry about me Tim, watch out for my brother. For today, he was well prepared. After speaking, An Jie glanced at Duncan.

"Aldridge? I know the quality of that guy, he's definitely the most underrated player in the league. An Jie thought that he had misheard, and the stone Buddha would actually use words of praise to others. However, looking at Duncan's serious and focused expression, An Jie knew that the stone Buddha was playing for real!

There's no way, if you don't show some real skills, you really can't pass the level of a pioneer.

Just as An Jie was stunned, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air. Angel leaped high and completely overtook Duncan's palm. The basketball was easily won by Angel, and Raymond Felton immediately controlled the ball and advanced, directing the Trail Blazers' first offense.

Anjie didn't get tangled with Duncan, and while Duncan was the highest point on the court for the Spurs, his tactical position was power forward. Anjie's real opponent is Spurs' stocky center DeJuan Blair.

Although Blair is very strong, he is limited by his height of 2.01 meters, and his defense has always been criticized.

Rounding and stealing seems to be the only way he can defend a tough interior. It's a pity that this guy's gambling steals often don't make him intercept the incoming ball, but can make him lose his defensive position.

As soon as he scored the first goal today, this big shortcoming of Blair was exploited by Anjie.

Angel held Blair with one hand and raised the ball high with the other. Seeing that there was nothing in the way of the pass, Felton hoisted the ball straight into the box.

DeJuan Blair knows that once Angel receives the ball, he will be almost unable to stop Angel on his own. So he squeezed forward, ready to break the ball before Anjie could get the basketball.

It's a pity that Blair's speed is still so slow. As soon as An Jie received the ball, he turned around, and Blair, whose center of gravity had shifted forward, made a complete pave. In the face of the empty basket, An Jie jumped on the spot and dunked with both hands, and in the most direct way, he got the first point since the start of the game. The legs that have just been strengthened and repaired allow An Jie to move faster and jump higher.

Although he was deducted by Anjie, Popovich still sat comfortably on the bench. An Jie's outburst was expected by him, but he couldn't contain it. Now the entire Spurs team except for Duncan, there is no second interior line that can match Anjie. Spurs bench Brazilian center Thiago Split is much taller than Blair, but his weak strength is still not up to the task.

Defensively blocked, and offensively the Spurs were also very uncomfortable. Although Tony Parker is known for his throwing, Parker's throw failed to hit as well as usual in the face of Anjie, who has better defensive awareness and defensive range than the rest of the league.

If he wants the ball to go over An Jie's fingers, he has to increase the arc. However, forcibly increasing the arc also invisibly weakened the hit rate.

After that, An Jie repeatedly completed the attack on the inside. Blair, who was 18 centimeters shorter than An Jie, had no choice at all, and was beaten like a child.

Popovich finally couldn't sit still, and he immediately sent Split on the field, but he used Split to defend Aldridge and Duncan to play against Anjie.

Duncan stared at An Jie blankly, without provocation or cruelty, but he stared at An Jie to the point of hair. There aren't many people in this league who can contain their own offense now, but Anjie knows that Duncan is one of them.

When An Jie came to the low post to get the ball again, the pressure behind An Jie was very different. Duncan can always predict the direction of An Jie's shot with his rich experience and accurate judgment, no matter how realistic An Jie's shoulder swing is, no matter how fancy An Jie's footsteps are, Duncan can always be like a ghost, sticking to An Jie at any time, inseparable.

Under Duncan's defense, Anjie's fiery momentum quickly cooled. Missed two shots in a row, and this is the result of Duncan and Anjie's alignment.

The third time, the ball was still given to Anjie, even though he had already wasted two chances. But Rickard and the rest of the Trail Blazers believe that Anjie will be able to find a way to break down the defense!

An Jie leaned on Duncan and didn't dare to act rashly. At the same time, he frantically glanced at his teammates' movements, the Spurs' defense was as good as ever, and the other four of the Trail Blazers now had no chance to connect the ball.

"Is it only me?" An Jie gritted his teeth unwillingly, and fell into a single, which was not the attack An Jie wanted to see.

"Ann!" At this time, An Jie suddenly heard someone shouting at him. Looking up, it was Aldridge.

In the blink of an eye, Aldridge's frantic movement finally gave him some space to catch the ball. If this ball is replaced by another inside line, there is a chance that it will not be passed. But An Jie is one of the most passable centers in the league.

He made a quick ground-and-go pass that allowed Aldridge to get the ball before Split could reach for it. After winning the ball, Aldridge immediately broke through and walked in with Split on his shoulder.

Duncan tries to help defend, only to find out that he has been killed by Anjka. Aldridge held the ball in his right hand, jumped on one foot, and dunked it beautifully under Duncan's gaze.

"LaMarcus Aldridge! Tough breakaway, so beautiful! It's like a big forward!" Kenny Smith was taken aback by Aldridge's forced break, and this kind of powerful and rampage play can't be associated with the name Aldridge.

After that, Aldridge played hard back to Split in the three-second zone. Split was knocked back and forth, but was eventually defeated by Aldridge's turnaround jumper.

Indeed, Aldridge is not the kind of rugged Fauvist insider. Compared with An Jie, a butcher, he is more like an elegant dancer, stretching his slender arms again and again to complete shots, and scoring points with his flexible inside feet again and again.

But in these two attacks, Aldridge proved that he is not a "soft egg" with his tough performance. Although he is very gentle on the surface, Aldridge has now become a complete tough guy!

Anjie collided with Aldridge hard, he was ready for this match, and now, it was time to harvest.

Aldridge's personality has allowed him to mature and become more technically sophisticated in recent years. The constant replacement of teammates around him did not let Aldridge get lost. From fellow league comrade-in-arms Brandon Roy, the brutalist genius who was missing from injuries Greg Oden, to the current athletic forward Gerard Wallace, the all-round interior Anjie......

At the end of the song, everyone is gone, and only Aldridge always sticks to the torn city. No matter what role he plays in the team, he always has no complaints and silently fulfills his essence.

Now, Aldridge knows that he is Anjie's helper and the second leader of the Trail Blazers. Then in the fact that Anjie is in trouble, Aldridge must stand up!

Now, he's stepped up, and he's done it in a way that subverts people's imaginations. Two tough offenses made the Spurs' defense collapse in an instant.

Against the Spurs, against Duncan. All this made Aldridge's heart burn, this humble and silent guy was not a pimple. As long as there is a guy like An Jie to light a fire for him, he can shine.

Sorry, that's a fallacy!
