The way of the center

Chapter 668 A Peaceful Ending
Now, the whole world is overwhelmingly feeling Carter's aging.The whole world is also talking about Anjie's volleyball hat against Monta Ellis at the last moment.

But in An Jie's eyes, now, in his world, there are only Catherine and the child in her belly.

The sense of belonging to the family is something that everyone will desperately need after reaching a certain stage.For An Jie, he already has a wife and soon-to-be child, but cannot be with them often.Such a situation will make An Jie need this sense of belonging more than anyone else.

When she's with Catherine, he can pretty much forget about basketball, even now, with the playoffs in full swing.

"Oh, my God!" An Jie held an umbrella and just as Catherine stepped into the hotel lobby, Catherine suddenly yelled in surprise.

"What's the matter!?" An Jie immediately went to help, and even several hotel waiters in the lobby surrounded him nervously.

If something happened to An Jie's wife with them, I'm afraid all these waiters will be fired.

"Baby, he moved!" Catherine's expression changed from panic to laughter. "You know what Ann? He moved! This is the first time I've felt him move!"

The expressions of the hotel waiters relaxed, while An Jie squatted on the ground, pressing his ears to Catherine's stomach.

This might be the reaction every man would have, but it was obvious that An Jie couldn't hear anything.

"Mr. An, I suggest that you go back to your room and rest." A smiling professional woman stood solemnly in front of Anjie and his wife. She is the lobby manager of this hotel.

"Okay, thank you for your concern." An Jie had a happy smile on his face, and he didn't know if it was because he won the competition, or because of Catherine and her child.
Back in the room, An Jie and Catherine kiss passionately.The two couples who haven't seen each other for so long naturally miss each other very much.

Catherine began to look at An Jie's head. When An Jie fell to the ground by Bogutla, the pain was on An Jie's flesh, but the injury was on Catherine's heart.

In fact, An Jie played in the NBA, and every action that hit An Jie was equivalent to hitting Catherine's heart.Every time An Jie was violated, Catherine's heartbeat would suddenly speed up due to tension.

But Catherine never complained, she just endured the pressure silently.Because she knew that if she chose such a man, she had to support him.Catherine couldn't let her worries and tears become what An Jie had to worry about on the court.

An Jie took Catherine's hand off his head, and held it tightly in his big hand.

"Don't worry about me, baby. I said I will let you have a healthy husband and let the child have a healthy father, and I will definitely do it. I will never break my promise!"

"I know you will. From the day you won the championship and proposed to me, I knew you would keep all the promises you made." Maybe only the bearded man and An Jie could see the look in his eyes.

"Have a bath and rest, Catherine, it's getting late."

"And you too, my beast"

※※※

Catherine must be back, which is why An Jie left in a hurry last night.From Anjie's radiant expression, Ricard could see this.

Of course, almost all the players on the team had smiles on their faces today.Because of the first round of the playoffs, they passed without any risk.

That's right, the total score is indeed only 3-0 now.The Trail Blazers still need to win another game to qualify for the next round.

However, the game has reached this level, maybe even Nowitzki himself does not believe that he can create history and complete the reversal of a 3-0 deficit.

The gap between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers is huge. The Trail Blazers are the best team in the NBA this season, while the Mavericks are just the eighth in the Western Conference to catch up with the last train of the playoffs.

Now, Ricard cares more about the Rockets and Clippers than the Mavericks.

At present, the Clippers temporarily lead with a total score of 2 to 1.But Ricard could see that the Clippers never really had the advantage.

On the Rockets' side, due to injuries and the lack of strength of the substitute players, McHale only had 8 players who could participate in the rotation.In the high-intensity competition of the playoffs, the 8-man rotation is not something that can be persisted by gritting one's teeth.

Looking at Harden's almost collapsed appearance after each game, you know how inhuman such a game is to the Rockets.

But the more thorough the research, the more Ricard felt that the Rockets and the Clippers were not as powerful as they seemed.

Compared with last year, the Clippers' weak bench and defensive chaos have not been resolved very well.As for the Rockets, Ricard didn't want to question McHale's coaching ability.But from the game video, he didn't see what McHale brought to the Rockets.

At critical moments, Harden and Howard usually use singles to solve the problem.It is difficult for such a team with an immature system to persist in the playoffs for too long.

From this point of view, the only two teams in the West that still threaten the Trail Blazers are the Thunder and the Spurs.

"Boss, isn't this the game video of the Mavericks?" An Jie's sudden voice startled Ricard.

"I'm scared to death! What, the training isn't over yet?" Ricard, who was sitting in the office, looked at his watch.

"Hey, it's time for a break, I'll come and see you." An Jie said, leaning his head in front of the screen.

"Rockets and Clippers, I'm studying our next opponent."

"If I had to choose, I would rather choose the Rockets. Because in this way, only Harden is left with their scoring points." Now Anjie will not threaten Howard out of position at all.

"Hopefully, Dwight's performance in the playoffs is very good. I'm afraid you will suffer if you play against him."

"Hey, don't worry, boss. No matter what opponent we meet, we will defeat them one by one!" An Jie gave Ricard a thumbs up, no matter if it is the Rockets or the Clippers, let them come!

On April 2014, 4, it was still the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas.Today, the Mavericks fans are obviously not as excited as the last game.Mavericks owner Cuban, who was sitting in the auditorium, also kept his face straight.

After all, it is destined to be uncomfortable for a person to wait for failure.If nothing else, this will be the Mavericks' last performance at their home court this season.

Nowitzki waved his hand to greet the fans in the stands. In the last game, even if he loses, he must hold his head up and lose!
After the game started, people could clearly feel that the Mavericks had almost given up resistance.

That simple tactic, that careless movement, that shot without thinking maybe now, Monta Ellis is thinking about where he will play next season, maybe Dalembert is thinking about whether he should play more One year, maybe Calderon is thinking about where he's going on vacation.Regardless, Ricard could see that no one on the Mavs was thinking about winning the game.

Ellis, who caused a lot of trouble for the Trail Blazers in the last game, made wild shots regardless of everything at the beginning. Perhaps, this guy still hopes to use this last game to brush up his statistics.

What about Nowitzki?The Germans are simply enjoying the game.He doesn't care about winning or losing, and he doesn't care about losing.Nowitzki only wants to do what he wants on the basketball court, so his shooting percentage was once frighteningly low.

The best performance of the Mavericks in this game was the short center Dejuan Blair, who was once a Spurs abandoner and is now so fat that he doesn't look like a professional athlete.

This guy scored 5 points on 5 of 12 shots today, which can be said to have "suffered a lot" for Anjie.

No way, who made An Jie not bother to dance when facing Blair?If it weren't for luck, there were a few goals that Blair really couldn't score.

As for Vince Carter, this guy is the most active person on the Mavericks team today.After losing the lore in the last game, Carter kept asking himself in his heart: "Am I still useful?"

In order to find the answer, Carter also made crazy shots today, especially the most shots outside the three-point line.

However, Carter's only 9 of 2 shots from the field still made him slapped hard by reality.

Carter is undoubtedly still useful. If possible, Anjie would even consider letting Nelsey sign this veteran with a strong sense of responsibility.It's just that his use now can no longer be compared with the past.

When the game was halfway through the fourth quarter, some fans had already started to leave the field.The Mavericks' journey this season is over. If you want to watch the game, come back next season.

When the red light on the backboard came on, Catherine and Aldridge's mother, who were sitting in the luxury box, applauded happily.

Due to their respective physical reasons, neither Anjie nor Aldridge wanted their beloved woman to squeeze around in the stands.And this easy victory also made the two women in the box feel extremely comfortable.

After the game, An Jie, who scored 28 points, and Aldridge, who scored 20 points, waved in the direction of the luxury box together.

did you see it?Your man has won another big victory!
98 to 85, the Trail Blazers won a no suspense game in Dallas.The Mavericks, too, were officially eliminated with a score of 4-0.

"Enjoy your vacation, Dirk, you need better helpers next season!" After the game, Anjie hugged and said goodbye to the kind German.

"Don't envy me, I will continue to watch your game on the beach with a drink." Nowitzki's mentality is much better than Anjie imagined, even if he is swept away, he can still make jokes.

After all, for a veteran who has been in the league for 16 years and won a championship, what setbacks and joys are there that he has never tried?

After easily advancing to the second round, the strength of the Trail Blazers has also been fully revealed.The Trail Blazers are not a regular season team. 72 wins are not good luck, but a result of hard work!

Next, they will encounter more powerful opponents.

Rocket?Clippers?Thunder?Spurs?Or the Heat and Trail Blazers in the East?
Whoever it is, let the horses come!The defending champion will break all obstacles one by one!
