The Way of the Center

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

Anjie once again led the Trail Blazers to an easy four-game winning streak, and the entire league once again blew a terrifying black whirlwind.

People don't know what else can stump the Blazers during the regular season. Perhaps for this team, the playoffs are the real beginning of a season.

An Jie's momentum is still advancing rapidly, and Ricard and Aldridge in the hospital are also actively cooperating with the treatment.

Aldridge's back injury is much more optimistic than the initial assessment. Now in March, after missing the game for half a month, he can already do some simple recovery training.

Anjie was also very happy to see that Aldridge was able to return to the court. It's not that Robin Lopez's performance is not good. In the half-month absence of Aldridge, Robin took on the role of starter very well. Although he can't match Aldridge's offense, Robin Lopez has used his enthusiasm to bring better defense and more second chances to the Blazers.

But Aldridge can come back, which is a good thing for the whole team. After all, the Trail Blazers' tactic is to exert their greatest power when all five starters are present.

Aldridge can only do some simple recovery training now, so he usually trains alone under the leadership of the trainer, and has not joined the team's formal training.

But Anjie can also see that even if Aldridge can't practice with the team, his attitude is very serious.

This guy's expression is always focused, and every project he does is perfect. In his eyes, An Jie seemed to see a certain kind of belief, a kind of belief that not only expected that he could give.

March 5, 2014, Moda Center, a desperate Mike Budenholzer has replaced all the main players. Although there are still three minutes before the end of the game, the rookie coach of the Eagles knows that he can't move back.

Lacking Al Horford and Paul Millsap, the Eagles can only rely on the shooting of outside players to score today. However, facing the defending champion's tough defense, the shooting of the Eagles' outside players seems to have encountered great obstacles.

The team's starting small forward and three-point shooter Korver today made 1 of 9 shots from the field and 0 of 5 three-pointers. Iguodala and Batum ate Korver so hard that he had no room to play.

Korver's performance is just the epitome of the entire Eagles team,

In the whole game, the Eagles' shooting percentage was only a poor 33%, and the three-point shooting percentage was only 14%.

With such a shooting percentage, it is undoubtedly a dream to win the game by shooting. Divac saw that Budenholzer had given up the game, and he also let the starting five go off the field to rest.

With ease, the victory of this game has been firmly grasped by the Blazers.

After the Blazers resumed their winning streak in the second half of February, Ainger led the team to a three-game win in March.

Today, against the Eagles at home, is the third game the Trail Blazers have won in March.

Aldridge in a suit and leather shoes witnessed the whole process of the victory from the bench, and he felt happy for Anjie and his team from the bottom of his heart. But in Aldridge's heart, there is also a trace of unwillingness.

It would be great if he could participate in the victory of this game...

When the whole world was revolving around An Jie, no one noticed how powerful the desire revealed in the eyes of the second leader of the Trail Blazers who failed to play!

When An Jie had returned home and was about to call Catherine, he discovered that his mobile phone had been forgotten in the locker in the locker room.

An Jie couldn't help cursing, it seemed that tonight's big victory really made him a little bit elated. There is no way, the daily contact with family and wife is essential, An Jie dragged his exhausted body, and drove to the Moda Center again.

When An Jie arrived at the Moda Center, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. There weren't too many vehicles on the streets at night, so An Jie was able to speed up and rush all the way.

"Hey Simmons, did you see my mobile phone when you were cleaning the locker room?" An Jie rushed to the duty room of Moda Center to talk to the man who he thought was in charge of cleaning the locker room.

Usually when the players leave something in the locker room, this man named Simmons will help everyone put it away. But today, Simmons shook his head.

"No, I haven't cleaned it yet, there are still people inside."

"Is there anyone else?" An Jie replied in surprise.

Aldridge hung up the phone call with his mother, he let out a sigh of relief, packed his things and prepared to go home.

Aldridge is very satisfied with the results of tonight's extra training. Tomorrow, he will ask Ricard to come back early, trying to catch the last train to Dallas the day after tomorrow.

"It really is you." Suddenly, the door of the locker room was opened, startling Aldridge. Looking up, it turned out to be An Jie.

"Are you here to get your phone?" Aldridge pointed to the seat of Anjie's locker, where his phone was lying quietly.

"Aren't you still on the injured list? Why did you practice more yourself?" An Jie saw two sweat-soaked jerseys in the basket of dirty clothes in the locker room, and he knew that Aldridge was still alive. The locker room was the reason.

"My injury has fully recovered. It's just a minor injury. Compared with last season's heart, it's nothing to worry about. Tomorrow, I will challenge the boss. As long as the boss agrees, there should be no problem with Vlad. "

"Why are you in such a hurry to come back?" An Jie knew that Aldridge was not the kind of impulsive person. Now the Trail Blazers have a stable record, and Aldridge has only missed a few games. He can recuperate with peace of mind and wait until he fully recovers before returning slowly. But it can be seen that Aldridge can't wait.

Aldridge didn't answer An Jie's question, he just stared blankly at the floor for a while. After tens of seconds, he just spoke.

"My mom was found out last week...has breast cancer."

"Oh... I'm sorry... LaMarcus." An Jie felt sorry from the bottom of his heart. This kind of thing is not a good memory.

"You know, I have a bad heart since I was a child, and I almost passed away when I was just born. But I really like playing basketball. Even if the god of death puts a sickle on my neck, I can't give up basketball. Surprisingly, my mom supported me from start to finish."

"In elementary school and junior high school, she would come to every game I played. As long as high school played at home, my mother would never miss it. She didn't just want to cheer me on, she was also worried about me, worried that I would suddenly lose You know what, Ann, I really appreciate her, and without her, I wouldn't be able to make a living playing basketball."

"So, when she was found out last week that she had cancer ... I was really devastated. You know, I couldn't play or leave the team myself because of an injury, and she had an accident. This kind of thing. At that time, the whole world seemed to be gray. But my mother called and told me, she said: LaMarcus, it’s okay. You’ve made me proud, as long as you can be happy in the NBA Keep fighting, and I'll be happy too. Disease didn't beat you back then, and it won't beat me now."

After hearing about Aldridge, An Jie instantly understood why this normally low-key and calm guy was so anxious to come back this time.

"So, I don't want to miss any more games. I hope to use my excellent performance in every game to comfort her, make her proud, and free her from suffering from illness."

"I understand what you mean, LaMarcus." Anjie patted Aldridge on the shoulder. Aldridge, who is usually taciturn, would not talk so much with others. An Jie knew that Aldridge really treated himself as a brother when he said this to himself.

"We welcome you back at any time, LaMarcus. To be honest, I really missed you a little during your absence." An Jie smiled, which eased the heavy atmosphere in the locker room.

"Next game, leave Dirk to me."

"No problem! I'll keep an eye on Dalembert for you, so he won't interrupt your date with Dirk."

"Haha, let's go Ann, it's getting late." Aldridge got up, he was glad to have his mother in his life, and of course, he was also lucky to meet Anjie in his life.

Because this guy will never just listen to what others say.

Two tall men walked out of the Trail Blazers locker room side by side, one was the head of the team and the other was the second head. The combination of these two is known as the most offensive inside combination in the league.

While these two guys are looking very mild right now, the day after tomorrow, in Dallas, these two guys with different skin colors are sure to be quite scary.

I hope the Dallas Mavericks can survive the fierce dual firepower of Anjie and Aldridge. Nowitzki no longer needs to worry about An Jie this time, but there is a bigger crisis that has found him. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
