The Way of the Center

"Go hard, Morris, go hard!" In the locker room after the game, Ricard and Anjie were the last two people who hadn't left.

Although not long ago, Anjie and the Trail Blazers had eliminated the Grizzlies with a total score of 4 o and reserved a seat in the Western Conference Finals. But now, Angel and Ricard can't feel at ease. Because of the ongoing game on another piece of land, it will directly determine who will be the opponent of the Trail Blazers in the next round.

On the TV screen, Andrew Morris, an old acquaintance of Angel and Ricard, was confronting Tim Duncan. Now every offense and defense is very important to the Thunder. They must seize all the opportunities they can get, because after losing this ball, the Thunder will have no chance of the next game.

Duncan pushed forward with his back without expression. A strong guy like Morris seemed very struggling to resist Duncan.

Don't look at Duncan's advanced age, and his style of play is relatively "gentle". In fact, this old boy who originally came from the Virgin Islands has tremendous power in his body.

Duncan advanced a little two steps before turning around and throwing a shot.

Duncan's throwing action is not beautiful, it can even be said to be very awkward. Morris also struggled to take off, but the basketball still passed Morris's fingertips.

Everyone focused their eyes on the basketball. The basketball was unbiased and just fell into the net. Duncan's many ways of shooting may be incredible, but you have to believe that this guy will not mess around.

"How can there be such a guy in this world!"

"Gosh, Morris has done well enough!"

"Will Duncan never grow old!?"

The Chesapeake Energy Arena fans were very disappointed. After Duncan scored that goal, there were only 2 minutes and 13 seconds left in the game. For the Thunder to win the game, they must at least catch up with a 13-point gap.

If Westbrook is there, it is entirely possible to chase 13 points in 2 minutes. It's a pity that now the Thunder's offense can only be carried by Durant.

"Do you think you have the confidence to beat him?" Ricard narrowed his mouth when he saw the picture just now. Morris had a few kilograms, and Ricard knew it very well. After all, this guy has played under his own hands for two years, and Ricard watched Morris climb step by step.

Although Morris's technique is a bit rougher, the offense can only rely on the body. But this guy's defense, even if it is placed on nBa, is top-notch. But Duncan just now scored easily in the face of Morris. The guy was still expressionless and the way he scored goals was normal. But this is exactly what is terrifying about Duncan.

"Who are you talking about, Morris?" In Anjie's heart, he still hopes that the Thunder can advance.

"Don't deny it, Ann. The Thunder is out of play. One of the hardest things in the world is to comeback in a game dominated by the Spurs. Those guys rarely make mistakes, they make no mistakes, and their opponents didn't catch up quickly. Chance. I’m talking about, do you have the confidence to get Duncan.” Ricard said bluntly.

"When I get to the basketball court, I don't care how big the opponent is." An Jie stared at the TV screen, he was still expecting a miracle. It was just that Durant, who was exhausted, fell overwhelmed at the last minute before the end of the game.

Seeing the sharp drop in the scoring efficiency of the Thunder's head star, the Spurs seized the opportunity to attack the Thunder.

"Oh, no, no, no..." Anjie, like the Chesapeake Energy Arena fans, hugged his head with his lost hands, waiting for the last five seconds of the game to pass by.

Durant lifted the jersey and covered it on his face. Morris squatted down and lowered his head, which was very different from the image of the villain in the past. Jeff Van Gundy is calmly akimbo, maybe the stressful job of the head coach is no longer suitable for him...

"If you lose, you will win, Ann. Think about your next opponent. You don't want to be like Morris now." At the end of the game, Parker threw the ball into the sky. The Thunder players in white jerseys fell to the ground one by one. Ricard patted Anjie on the shoulder, and the San Antonio Spurs were about to aim their guns at the Blazers!

"Oh, God, again?" Morris hit the floor hard, and the Thunder made it to the playoffs with ambition each time. But every time, they fell at the most important node.

Durant was expressionless. After being defeated by the Heat last year, Westbrook came forward and said to himself, we will come back next year to take the championship. But now? Westbrook can only convalesce in the hospital. First Anjie's departure, then Westbrook's injury. Durant really doesn't know now, whether God deliberately let his fate be like this.

Jeff Van Gundy looked at his lost players and felt very distressed. But he can't encourage them to explain that they will come back in the next year, because Van Gundy has no plans to go through the next year.

At the end of the season, Van Gundy's contract with the Thunder officially expired. Presti and Van Gundy had already asked for a contract extension, but Van Gundy declined all of them. Maybe the championship is destined to be Jeff Van Gundy's regret in his life.

After watching the game, Anjie had a lot of feelings. The Thunder failed again. They played a 6o victory after the Blazers this season, ranking second in the West. But in the end, his old club failed.

The Oklahoma City Thunder still failed to break through their destiny, but Anjie didn't plan to sit still.

The opponent that the Thunder failed to defeat, Anjie must personally defeat it!

Throwing all the troubles aside, An Jie got up and left the locker room. Now he has no time to feel sad for the fate of the Thunder. His most important task is to maintain his strong momentum. Popovich and gdp? No matter how strong you are, I will perform better!

Now that the opponents in the Western Conference Finals have been finalized, then it is time to prepare and give the opponent a big gift...

※※※

"The situation in the West is clear! The Blazers and Spurs meet at the top of the West!"

"Magic Johnson: This will be a big battle."

"Drexler: No matter who the opponent is, Anjie will take care of everything."

When the Blazers and Spurs both advanced, the Eastern Conference semifinals seemed to have been left behind.

The Spurs played extremely well in both the regular season and the playoffs this season, although the Thunder lost so quickly because of Westbrook's absence. But people know in their hearts that even if Westbrook is in the formation, the result of the game is not easy to say.

The Spurs have greatly strengthened their lineup while keeping the core unchanged. This made the Spurs once again the favorites to win the championship, and also allowed the Trail Blazers to encounter one of the strongest opponents in the playoffs.

Basketball circles all over the world are now discussing the Western Conference Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs. As the general manager of the Trail Blazers, Nell Orsi should also focus on the game. But the two people who suddenly appeared in his office today kept Orsi unable to concentrate.

"Is this true!?" Nell Orsi grew his mouth and asked the two nBa officials who were sitting across from him with a smile on their faces.

"Mr. Orsi, we won't make a joke about this kind of thing. Congratulations, your players have performed really well this season, and they deserve such an honor!" The two officials got up and talked to Nell Orsi Shaking hands, the Trail Blazers already had a best coach. But compared to the best coach, Orsi will definitely be ecstatic about what they bring today.

After all, in the history of the Trail Blazers, only one person enjoys such an honor. Even Drexler did not accomplish such a feat in the Trail Blazers.

"Oh, sorry gentlemen, let me calm down first. After all, you know, this is definitely a big event in the history of the Trail Blazers!" Orsi calmed down his excitement and looked at the other two nBa Something brought by officials.

"After the training this afternoon, let's hold a news conference!" Orsi immediately proposed.

"This is also the purpose of our coming to Portland, Mr. Orsi, and please prepare as soon as possible. By the way, Mr. David Stern will come here later, don't worry."

"Mr. Stern is going to come here in person?" Orsi's emotions that finally calmed down again exploded.

"After all, such an honor must be given to the players by the president of the league." The two officials nodded affirmatively. This afternoon, Portland must be very lively.

Orsi immediately made a call to Ricard who was preparing for the battle, and Ricard did not dare to slacken his efforts, because he knew that if there was nothing important at this point, Orsi would not disturb him.

"George~www.readwn.com~ After the training is over today, leave Damien and Ann behind. I want to hold a news conference for them!" Orsi spoke very quickly and couldn't wait.

"Is there any purpose? Today is not an open day for the media." Ricard didn't understand, why Orsi wanted the two indispensable members of this team. If it's just to deal with reporters, Meyers Leonard and Batum will suffice. After all, these two substitute players also have high popularity in Portland.

"You know when you come, George. Also, tell these two guys to wear suits and ties. All the pictures taken by the reporters today will be recorded in the annals of history!"

"Oh!?" Ricard glanced at Lillard and Anjie who were training. "Why not!?"

"That's right George! It's the "should not"!" Hearing Ricard's surprised voice, Orsi smiled triumphantly...
