The way of the center

Chapter 632 Portland Cyclone

He doesn't quite remember how long it took Anjie to get home the night he won the game.Anyway, when he drove back, even the busiest neighborhoods at night were deserted.

That night, Angie, Van Gundy, Morris and others got together for a long time.Westbrook and the others didn't care about their loss just now, and Anjie didn't sneer at his former brothers because he became the final winner and scored 30 points and 13 rebounds.

These few people talked and laughed in the restaurant, and even after so many years, their relationship has not changed in any way.The only thing that has changed is that the place where these guys struggle is no longer the same.

Anjie has to work hard for his way to defend the title, and Van Gundy has to open a new chapter for his career.As for the Thunder, they have a longer way to go.

Van Gundy and the Thunder left Oklahoma the next day.Anjie's NBA season continued as usual.

A little indulgent nightlife during the season not only did not make An Jie weak in the next day's training.On the contrary, An Jie, who was relaxed, made Robin Lopez scold her mother countless times in the training ground the next day.

Seeing that 2013 is about to pass, the opponent who can "give" the Trail Blazers a failure has not appeared for a long time.Therefore, this topic is now pushed to the forefront.Every day, the media will debate who can beat the Blazers.And every day, An Jie and his pioneers would disappoint this group of reporters time and time again.

Some people say that the Jazz, who are at the bottom of the Western Conference this season, have the possibility of beating the Trail Blazers.Because of the competition between No. 1 and No. [-] last, No.[-] will always have the old problem of underestimating the enemy.

However, this rhetoric has not yet taken hold.The Trail Blazers beat the Jagged Jazz with 32 points. When Anjie was still playing for the Thunder, the Jazz gave him a lot of trouble.But now, apart from Haywood, a handsome white guy with a star face, there is no second player who can impress Anjie in the Jazz.

20 consecutive victories, easy.Angie still dominated the paint with 24 points and 15 rebounds.

That same night, Ainge received his first Western Conference Player of the Month award of the season.However, this kind of small honor is now common to An Jie.

"The Mavericks led by Dirk and Monta Ellis haven't played badly this season. I think they may beat the Trail Blazers who are fighting back to back!" Some newspapers and media put forward such views
On the second day, the Mavericks did give the Blazers a lot of trouble.Nowitzki scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists like a flashback.Monta Ellis, once regarded as a "tumor", also scored 20 points today.Moreover, this guy's shot selection today is very reasonable, and the combination of these two people has put the Blazers in a difficult battle.

Unfortunately, the last 0.9 seconds of the game.Anjie broke through with the ball to attract the defense and divided the ball skillfully. Lillard made a mid-range kick and killed the game with a mid-range shot.

The No. 0 guard in the second grade has already shown his super heart that dares to play key shots.Some people even think that the real second leader of this Trail Blazers team is not Aldridge, but Lillard.

Lillard completed the lore, and he was naturally excited to celebrate his victory at the Moda Center.And An Jie also happily picked up the little defender he had personally chosen, winning 21 consecutive victories, and he was able to catch it!
No one expected that the Trail Blazers would break the record of 20 consecutive victories created by the Rockets 15 years ago, but it was even more unexpected that the Trail Blazers would surpass this number by so much in one go.

It started with a 21-game winning streak. Everyone believes that this record will not be broken for at least the next ten years.In the words of Mike Breen, "This Trail Blazers team is too strong!"

With great glory and every step is a historical record, the Trail Blazers defeated the distraught Jazz consecutively. The Rockets led by Howard and Harden slaughtered McAway and the 76ers who drove high and low. Cleanly killed the Pistons with Drummond and the Cavaliers who completely rebuilt and selected the "parallel import" champion Bennett.People say that as good as the McAway guy is, Bennett is as bad.However, in Anjie's eyes, these rookies are not bad at all.No one left, no one left
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers' record has also become a terrible 26 wins and 0 losses!They are only one game away from the 27-game winning streak created by themselves and the Heat, and the record for the best start in the NBA has been improved by more than one level by the Trail Blazers.

The 20-game winning streak created by "Big Dream" 15 years ago is not worth mentioning in front of the Trail Blazers' record!
"I said earlier that he will surpass me. After that, he will surpass Shaq and even Jordan!" Olajuwon commented on Anjie when he was a guest on T.NT's first basketball program.

Suddenly, the entire league became a foil for the Trail Blazers.Countless trade rumors are flying around, because a team can't compete with the Trail Blazers without adding a few more stars.

Not only the record, the Blazers' ticket and total jersey sales rank first in the league.Among them, Anjie's No. 00 jersey sold the most.

Now as long as you walk around the street, you will definitely see a bunch of kids wearing No. 00 jerseys playing on the street court.

More and more scouts began to wander around the ball header field, because Anjie was "picked up" from the field field back then.

There are even rumors that the alliance will increase the scope of the three-second zone again because of Anjie.Of course, it is still unknown whether this will be possible in the end.

"Sports Illustrated", "ESPN Magazine", and even "Time" magazine invited Anjie to be the cover character one by one.For a while, An Jie became the hottest name in the world, and the last basketball player with such popularity was Michael Jordan.

All these deeds reflected the current popularity of Anjie and the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers lost for the first time this season, and it was finally long overdue.

On December 12, Anjie led the Trail Blazers to the Target Center in Minnesota.The Timberwolves' record this season is not outstanding, and they are still hovering on the edge of the playoffs.Therefore, almost everyone believed before the game that the Trail Blazers won their second 18-game winning streak, which was a sure thing.

However, perhaps Anjie's success greatly stimulated Kevin Love.The latter hit 8 three-pointers in this game, and Anjie made two volleyball caps outside the three-point line. This time they failed to prevent Love from breaking out.

With 45 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists, Kevin Love showed his talents at the Target Center today.He finally, finally after graduating from college, defeated An Jie once in the NBA.

In addition to Timberwolves' veteran shooter Kevin. Martin's 20 points and Barea's 18 points, the Timberwolves defeated the mighty Trail Blazers 109 to 118 at home.And the Trail Blazers' terrifying start winning streak has finally come to an end.

Although they failed to achieve 27 consecutive victories for the second time, the record of 26 consecutive victories at the beginning is enough for Anjie and the Trail Blazers to write a strong stroke in the history of the NBA.

After the game, Love unexpectedly found out.Even if he beat Anjie, even if the Timberwolves stopped the Blazers.But in the end, the most popular person is still the yellow-skinned number 00.

From college to NBA, Kevin Love discovered at this time that he never seemed to have really won against An Jie.
※※※

At the post-match press conference, the audience where An Jie and Ricard were located was packed with reporters as usual.Naturally, the seats provided for the media have long since been snatched up, and more reporters can only squeeze into the corners of the room to record or shoot.

Although he lost the game, An Jie's mood was not affected much.After all, the Trail Blazers' current record of 26 wins and 1 loss is unmatched.

It doesn't matter if they lose a game now, everything starts from the heart, and the burden on their shoulders will be much lighter.

"Okay, now everyone is free to ask questions." As soon as the chief press officer finished speaking, a reporter stood up abruptly.

"Mr. An, what do you think of Love's 45 and the loss of this game?"

An innocuous question, An Jie is not afraid.He smiled politely at the reporter and put his head in front of the microphone.

"Congratulations to Lefu, he always clamored to beat me. Today, he got his wish." An Jie's joke filled the audience with relaxed laughter.

"The Timberwolves played really well. At least today, they are better than us. But a loss in a game will not stop us. This season is still very long. Believe me, it must be us who persist until the end. "

After An Jie finished speaking, the flashlights below also lit up.

At this moment, Ricard, who was sitting next to An Jie and smiling, suddenly coughed violently.

At first, people didn't care.But after coughing for nearly ten seconds, Ricard was still coughing.

Anjie immediately took out a tissue and handed it to Ricard. Ricard covered his mouth with his hands, and continued to cough violently.

After a few seconds, Ricard, who was coughing and crying, finally calmed down.

"What's the matter, boss?" An Jie saw that there was a streak of blood on the tissue that Ricard was covering his mouth.

"It's okay, I'm sorry everyone, please continue"

Things returned to normal and press conferences resumed.

People usually only see the injuries of the players on the court, but they don’t know that the coach of an NBA team is definitely a profession that hurts the body.
