The way of the center

Chapter 391 The Danger Behind the Joy

Wu Hua originally planned to leave for Dallas to watch the fourth game between the Spurs and the defending champion Mavericks.

Like the Trail Blazers, at this juncture, the Spurs also lead the Mavericks 3-0.If nothing else, Anjie's next opponent will be the No. [-] Spurs in the Western Conference this season!But in order to get first-hand news, and to see the status of the Spurs, Wu Hua had the plan to watch this series without any suspense.

However, an important phone call disrupted all of Wu Hua's plans.The flight to Dallas was refunded, and the hotel reservation was cancelled.As for whether the Mavericks can hold back the Spurs, it is not so important now.

The caller was the press spokesman of the Portland Trail Blazers, and this guy, officially called Wu Hua, inviting him to attend Olsey's upcoming press conference this afternoon.

"Press conference? About what?" Wu Hua felt very strange. Now that it is during the playoffs, is there anything worth calling the reporters to talk about?

"You must have been busy with other things, otherwise, it is impossible for you not to know. Look online, Wu, you will be interested." After finishing speaking, the spokesperson hung up the phone.He didn't have time to explain to Wu Hua slowly, there were hundreds of calls waiting for him to make.

Out of curiosity, Wu Hua clicked on the official NBA website. On it, as always, there were many NBA battle reports, as well as the promotion map for the current playoffs.But on the front page, there was another piece of news with An Jie's name written on it.

"The best defensive player of the 2011-2012 season was announced, and Anjie from the Portland Trail Blazers won this award!" The title is simple and unmarked.But Wu Hua knew that after Orsi held a press conference, the whole world would regard this matter as the biggest news today.

At the beginning, Wu Hua naturally obtained the voting qualification granted by the NBA official. The three people he chose were Anjie, Morris and Marc Gasol.Although the last two he chose didn't make the top three at all, Wu Hua didn't expect that the No.1 in most people's hearts was exactly the same as himself!
In addition to his excellent scoring this season, Anjie averaged 12.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, making him the best defensive player is a matter of course.

Although in terms of rebounds, Howard's 14.5 and Love's 13.3 are better, in terms of blocks, Serge Ibaka's abnormal average of 3.7 per game is also more than Ander.But none of these people can bring qualitative changes to the team's defense.And this was achieved by An Jie.

The selection of the best defensive player does not have to follow the data.Because in many cases, the role of a player on the defensive end cannot be reflected by the data.

Chris Paul may dare to enter the restricted area guarded by Howard or Ibaka, but let him play Anjie again, Paul will definitely consider it carefully.

In the afternoon training, An Jie also received blessings from his teammates.In the team, Anjie is everyone's reassurance.Even if they are broken through, they also know that An Jie is behind them to guard them!It's unreasonable for such a guy not to win the best defensive player!
Anjie has become a solid backing for every Trail Blazers player.Defensive backbone, it is not an exaggeration to use this word to describe An Jie.

Orsi, the general manager of the Trail Blazers, is busy arranging his attire. Although the protagonist will be Anjie later, Orsi does not want to give honor to his proud "employee" in a foolish way.

There is still an hour before the start of the press conference, and the press reception room in the Rose Garden Stadium is already full!It was very difficult for Wu Hua to turn around.

Hearing that the door of the reception room was pushed open, all the reporters cast their eyes on the door.Unexpectedly, it was not Anjie who walked in, but the general manager of the Trail Blazers, Nell Orsey.

"Coach George Ricard has just finished his rigorous training. Sorry, the coach has been insisting on closed training, so everyone can't walk around in the arena. But I think soon, these two guys will attend As soon as Orsi finished speaking, Ricard and An Jie pushed the door open.

All the reporters turned their attention to the two people who walked in. The scene was silent for a second, but after that, it became chaotic!

"Mr. An! How do you feel about winning the award for the first time!?"

"Do you think the gap between yourself and Dwight Howard is really as huge as the votes?"

"Coach, coach! You must be very happy that your players can get this honor!?"

The reporters twittered and threw out the questions. Anjie and Ricard could do nothing but smile stiffly.

"Okay! Be quiet! I invited everyone here today just to tell you all the news! Don't worry, I will leave time for you after the awards are presented!" Orsi pressed his hands and maintained the hospitality room order.Anjie and Ricard are now considered a hot alliance!

Orsi raised the small bronze trophy with his solemn hands, and the players on the trophy were in a defensive posture, as if all the opponent's attacks could not penetrate his tough body.

An Jie himself has faithfully restored this form very well!Whether you are a super scorer or not, no matter what position you play.Seeing An Jie's defense, no one will feel relaxed.

An Jie smiled all over his face, but this time, his smile was no longer ferocious, nor was his smile intended to provoke his opponent.This time, An Jie smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Like a child who got a new toy, he took the trophy carefully and looked at it carefully.

Needless to say, the small bronze statue is very finely crafted.On the base, lines of letters were written.

"2011-2012, the best defensive player in the NBA, from the Portland Trail Blazers." Finally, there are two sets of the biggest words, and the combination of these words is Anjie's name!
An Jie took the trophy and held him up with a smile on his face.After that, there was a blinding flash in front of his eyes.

But An Jie didn't cover his face with his hands because he couldn't restrain his laughing expression at all.At this moment, Angie is really happy
Afterwards, the press conference lasted for quite a while before the reporters left with more to say.Even Wu Hua, who is usually calm and unhurried, looked extraordinarily excited today.

For someone who has watched him play since college and has seen him easily make it past the second round of the playoffs now.Wu Hua touched An Jie's growth the most.

When I was woken up by the phone in Chicago, who would have thought that he would make the first contact with the future best defensive player.

Life is so wonderful sometimes, but Rickard is very fortunate that at least he witnessed the whole process of An Jie's great career with his own eyes!
Back then, Wu Hua felt that if An Jie could play in the NBA, he would be good enough.Unexpectedly, the young yellow-skinned guy who was exposed to formal basketball training for the first time has become one of the biggest money-absorbing machines in the entire league!Of course, he is also one of the best players in the league!

When Wu Hua finished sighing, the colleagues around him had almost left.The fact that An Jie won the best defensive player is over.

It was only then that Wu Hua remembered that there was another important thing that he seemed to have forgotten
Dirk Nowitzki, the new European legend once again stood at the free throw line.And this is already the seventh time he has stood at the free throw line.

Nowitzki hit all of the first 12 free throws.This time, he still didn't waste this opportunity even though he was a good shooter.

Although Nowitzki once again made two free throws, the fans of the Mavericks at the American Airlines Center Stadium did not seem to be very good.

Because after scoring these two free throws, the defending champion Mavericks are still 12 points behind, but at this time, there are only 22 seconds before the end of the game.

Duncan, who is as hard and steady as a rock, is the organization center of the Spurs, and also a powerful offensive end. Parker, young accurate shooter Danny Green, and small forward Leonard with unlimited potential. The complete Boris Dior, "Demon Blade" Manu Ginobili
Nowitzki is indeed very strong. In this game, he scored 34 points alone, including 14 of 14 free throws.Even so, he still can't beat the wise old Popovich leading the group.

In the end, the score was fixed at 102 to 90. As the defending champion who defeated the Heat and won the championship, the way the Mavericks were swept out of the game was indeed a bit too embarrassing.

It is a fact that the Mavericks' lineup has deteriorated, but the sweep of the defending champion also highlights the strength of the Spurs from another aspect!

The Trail Blazers finished fourth in the Western Conference this season, and it has become the focus of praise from the media.However, the San Antonio Spurs, who have won the game now, are the No. [-] in the Western Conference!

The Mavericks were swept cleanly 4-0, which means that the iron hooves of Duncan and Popovich will soon reach out to the Blazers!
The cruel dialogue between the two powerhouses is doomed and unavoidable!
The Western Conference semifinals are still the same as before, bloody and cruel
When An Jie was still happy about winning the award, a more terrifying opponent appeared!
