After the victory over the Thunder, the Trail Blazers won a big victory against the Purple and Gold. The Trail Blazers www.biquge.info have been creating surprises since Anjie's comeback this season. But Portland fans still didn't expect them to be able to beat two Western Conference powerhouses at the same time.

"Mr. Ahn, congratulations on winning the Western Conference Player of the Week award, do you think you have a chance to compete for Player of the Month?" At the post-game press conference, the focus of reporters' interviews also changed from Kobe Bryant to Anjie.

"Best of the month? My goal is to be MVP. An Jie smiled at the reporters below, no one knew if what a guy said was just a joke or serious.

"MVP? huh...... You've averaged 29.8 points, 11.5 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game so far this season, which is really an MVP-caliber statistic. I hope you can stay in shape, Mr. Ahn, and strive to achieve your goals. Whether An Jie is joking or not, few reporters dare to question An Jie's statement now.

At the beginning of the season, countless people predicted a very sad fate for the Trail Blazers and Anjie. But now, they have made a perfect start with 5 wins and 1 loss. No reporter wants to become the character who was slapped in the face, An Jie said that he should not question anything, maybe he can really do it?

"Well, I have to get to New York now. Before the reporters could finish their questions, Angel and Rickard got up and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Ann, aren't the Trail Blazers going to play back-to-back against the Suns in the next game? A reporter laughed evilly, as the leader of the team, he still remembered the opponent wrongly, which is enough to prove that there is a problem with Anjie's attitude.

"Oh, Coach Rickard hasn't told you yet, has he?" Anjie looked at Riccard, who grabbed the microphone.

"Tomorrow Ann will travel to New York for his second meniscus enhancement surgery, so he will also miss tomorrow's game against the Suns. Of course, don't worry, if the operation is successful, Ann will be able to play in two days and will not be absent for a long time. After Ricard finished speaking, he smiled at the reporters who were so surprised that he couldn't stop talking, and walked straight out of the media reception room with An Jie.

An Jie also has to have surgery, such a big thing, but Ricard and An Jie himself just mentioned it lightly. In the past, reporters knew that An Jie had two more intensive repair surgeries to do, but they didn't expect this date to come so soon.

In fact, this operation is really not as exaggerated as the reporters think, An Jie is just going to undergo a minimally invasive intensive repair, and his meniscus will be healthier and stronger than now after the operation. Of course, the slightly traumatic mouth will not affect Anjie's game the day after. Missing a single event is the only price to pay for this repair operation.

When Anjie first entered the league, he was eager to win all the games. But now he knows that the NBA's long schedule makes it impossible for you to beat your opponents every day. How to choose, that's the key.

Therefore, Anjie voluntarily gave up the back-to-back games with the Phoenix Suns. First of all, the back-to-back games after two high-intensity competitions were very dangerous for his unreinforced meniscus, and secondly, the Suns led by Steve Nash, who had lost his helper, were definitely not too strong. Without Anjie, others would still be able to cope.

Therefore, An Jie parted ways with the team and went to New York alone for surgery.

"Don't worry, LaMarcus, I'll be here for the next game. Looking at the worried Aldridge, An Jie also comforted him. The Trail Blazers, who won too much, are already a little inseparable from Anjie.

Everything was carried out smoothly, Anjie's plane arrived in New York on time, and the operation was a great success. The doctor said that An Jie's legs can at least exert 90% of their strength now. Whether it is moving or bouncing, Anjie is a little stronger than before.

But the only thing that didn't go as planned was that the Trail Blazers, who had won four in a row, failed to win on the road. Without Anjie, the Trail Blazers suddenly lacked a backbone, and the team played in a mess and out of order.

Rickard racked his brains underneath, but without Angel, he also lacked too many tactical changes.

Anjie can play in the high position, AnJie can attract the bag in the low position, and AnJie can also efficiently perform one-on-one singles in any position. These three points alone are enough for Riccard to have a lot of tactical options.

But suddenly, none of that was there. The Trail Blazers are missing variables and tough interior defense. A slow-paced Marcus Camby couldn't stop the running style led by Nash.

Anjie brought not only one more player who can play to the Trail Blazers, but a change in the entire core. Originally, Portland fans thought that with Aldridge and Gerard Wallace, there should be no pressure for them to take down the Suns, who are no longer in the limelight.

But today, they finally realized that Anjie is too important to the team. It's so important that without him, the Trail Blazers don't even have a lot fewer ways to win.

It's no wonder that Aldridge was worried when An Jie left, and he who partnered with An Jie knew the importance of An Jie best. With Anjie, he can easily get open shots. With An Jie, he doesn't have to worry about being broken through at all, anyway, there is a terrifying guy who has been guarding behind him.

But today, Aldridge had to force his shots many times and had to spend more energy on the defensive end. In the end, Aldridge did not do well in attack and defense.

97-102, the Trail Blazers finally stopped winning in Phoenix after a crazy five-game winning streak.

Aldridge hit just six of 14 shots and scored a season-low 14 points. Ricard was right, Aldridge was a great second-in-command, but it wasn't a good choice for him to take the lead.

Although the team lost, the Trail Blazers fans didn't have much dissatisfaction. Because even so, the Trail Blazers are good enough. What's more, they will have Anjie again in the next game.

"AnJie's first intensive repair surgery was a great success. George Ricard: He will be back for the Trail Blazers' home game against the Spurs on January 8. The next day, the headline in the Portland Evening News made everyone forget about the unhappiness of the team's loss. Anjie, who only missed one game, is back in lightning! Moreover, the comeback battle is still facing such a strong opponent.

Ricard is also a little worried that Anjie will delay his comeback due to surgery. I didn't expect him to be so punctual.

When Anjie was training, Rickard and the team doctor of the Trail Blazers thoroughly checked Anjie's knee. If it weren't for An Jie's words, they wouldn't even be able to find the scars left by the surgery on their knees.

"Don't worry, my knees aren't a problem, I feel more flexible than before. Angel moved his leg a bit, but it was clear that it still didn't impress Ricard and the team doctor.

"You know how important you are to the team, and if we don't protect you, we're almost at the end of the season. "Ricard hasn't forgotten how difficult it was for the Trail Blazers to play in the game Anjie missed. You know, the current Suns are not that strong. So he'd rather make a big fuss than take any risks.

But then, in group confrontation training. An Jie used a few smooth and smooth steps to shake off Camby to complete the attack, and brought out his excellent form without reservation. It was only at this time that Ricard was convinced that there was really nothing wrong with Angel. His stride is more flexible than before because his meniscus is healthier than before.

Seeing Anjie's state on the training ground, Ricard's confidence also soared. Now, he really has the capital to wrestle with the Spurs and that cunning guy from Popovich.

After the Thunder and Lakers, the San Antonio Spurs became the next development target for the Trail Blazers.

....................

"Catherine, you're thinner now than you used to be. "With the rapid development of the Internet and mobile devices in recent years, AnJie is now able to make video calls to Catherine anytime and anywhere through her mobile phone. This is a scene that only appears in science fiction movies when he first came to the United States.

"The daily recipe is strictly controlled, how does your leg feel after the second surgery?" Catherine asked about An Jie's recovery with concern.

"It's great, I feel more flexible and easier to exert my power than before. In the next game against Spurs, I should be able to put in a good performance. You have to do it too, Catherine, because I didn't make it to Paris Fashion Week last year, you have to take advantage of it this year. Anjie is still a little ashamed that Catherine gave up the best opportunity of her career to accompany her injured self.

"I will be as safe as you are, and I will prove myself in Paris. Okay, go and practice, I'm going to rehearse too. I love you, Ann. ”

"I love you too, Catherine. An Jie smiled and turned off the video and picked up the basketball sitting under his butt. Although there is a game to play tomorrow, An Jie still has not relaxed his training. The core of the team, this position allows him to constantly push himself to improve. Because he knows that now he has a greater responsibility.

Just as An Jie was about to enter the strength training room, he heard the sound of the door of the training ground being opened. It's been almost half a month since he came to the Trail Blazers, but An Jie has never seen anyone other than himself at night.

So when the door of the training ground was opened, An Jie stared at the comer with infinite curiosity. Sure enough, it was none other than Anjie's best helper, LaMarcus Aldridge.

"Ann!?" Aldridge stared at An Jie, whose training vest was already soaking wet, in surprise, he didn't know that there were people on the Trail Blazers team who had been practicing all the time.

"Oh my God, I always thought the reports about your training were just rumors. Unexpectedly, it was true. Aldridge had always thought there was no one in the world who could spend as much time training as Anjie did, until he saw it with his own eyes today.

"Do you think Canbi is easier to deal with? If you don't practice, I'm the one who will be abused on the training ground. Hey, why did you suddenly think of running over to practice at night today?" Anjie hugged Aldridge in a friendly way, and he found that this guy was very similar to Durant. On the surface, he is very introverted and doesn't like to talk. But once he opens up to you, you'll find that he's definitely a trustworthy guy.

"Tomorrow against Spurs...... You know, Tim has always been my idol. Aldridge said and tried to shoot, and An Jie glanced at the flight path of the basketball and withdrew his gaze. He knew that nothing could go wrong with the results.

"Brush. "The sound of the Nets tumbling in the training arena is like jazz in a bar, very appropriate to the scene, and even more beautiful.

"You want to put on a good performance against Tim in the ring, and now I can't sleep anyway, and I can't do anything else. Because once you close your eyes, you're worried that your opponent is still training and you're resting, and you're going to feel uneasy?"

"How do you know how it feels?" It's amazing to be seen through your mind, and it means you and that guy have a lot in common.

"I used to be like you before I played against the Lakers. The thought that Kobe Bryant might still be on the training ground made me unable to convince myself to stop. Anjie will not forget his mood before the game against Kobe, which is exactly the same as Aldridge now.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the fierce butcher also has nervous times. Aldridge always thought that Anjie was a fearless tough guy who played games with a high fever, and after a major injury, he took the lead and fought with those physically perverted guys in the NBA, a place full of muscle clubs. These have become the hallmarks of AnJie.

But today, for the first time, Aldridge felt that Anjie was also so real, and he was also a flesh-and-blood guy.

"Hey, did you know I used a block to finish Tim's lore? I'm telling you, I'm pretty good at dealing with Tim. Anjie smiled at Aldridge with a sneer, and Aldridge's eyes lit up instantly.

Afterwards, the two competed on the training ground. Of course, this confrontation is more about mutual guidance and help. Often, one of the parties will suddenly stop and correct the mistakes made by the other party.

Aldridge had never found it so much fun to practice, and by the time they were both exhausted, it was already half past eleven in the evening.

"I'm not coming, I'm not coming. Aldridge put his hands on his knees and gasped for air. Now he not only admires Anjie, but also admires Marcus Camby, who did not confront Anjie.

"Almost, save some energy for tomorrow's game. Hey, don't worry about Tim, I'll keep an eye on your back. An Jie's simple words made Aldridge feel very relieved. In the last game, it was precisely because of the lack of Anjie's protection that the Trail Blazers would play timidly.

If Duncan and Popovich knew that two of the Trail Blazers' most dangerous guys were together overnight discussing countermeasures, they would probably be driven crazy as well. The Spurs' trip to Portland won't look as easy as it used to be.
