The Way of the Center
Chapter 554: : Stepping into Portland's Iron Shoe
"Only a championship is worthy of MVP!" An Jie's words at the award ceremony were directly quoted by many media as the title. This has already become An Jie’s famous saying, and countless fans are looking forward to the next series with the release of An Jie’s "Ruthless Words".
But in the San Antonio media, Anjie’s words mean that he did not take the Spurs in his eyes at all.
What a championship, the Trail Blazers are a team that just advanced to the Western Conference Finals. To mention the championship, at least you have to pass the Spurs level first.
San Antonio’s media used Anjie to get the MVP hype, and successfully made Anjie the public enemy of San Antonio.
This is the atmosphere of the playoffs. In this environment where either you die or I die, you can't expect the away fans to be kind to you.
The media in San Antonio were obviously trying to pick things up, and people were very concerned about Anjie's views on the incident. But when the reporters were ready to attack the Rose Garden with guns and guns, they learned from the security that Ricard had cancelled all media day arrangements and concentrated on preparing for the Western Conference Finals.
"Coach Ricard has no right to do this! The league has stipulated that a pre-arranged media day is a mandatory requirement. Regardless of whether Coach Ricard wants it or not, we have the right to take pictures of the Trailblazers' training." An experienced person The black journalists of the United States were not easily sent away by the security guards.
"I don't know this. Coach Ricard said that there are still news conferences. It's just that he doesn't want the players' training to be interfered." The security guard spread out his hands innocently, and the group of reporters was also angrily.
"It's alright, a press conference would be great. After all, Ann won the MVP only yesterday, Ricard would not be so stupid that An Jie disappeared from the media at this time." The reporters also did. Compromise, it's okay not to shoot training footage, after all, they are here for Anjie.
At the same time in the training ground, Anjie, who was waiting for the reporters, was training in low position defense under the guidance of Divac.
Not to mention that Anjie has won the best defensive player award for two consecutive years, but in Divac's view, Anjie's defensive ability still has room for improvement. Especially when Anjie faced Duncan, Divac felt that he had to say something to Anjie alone.
"I know you won the MVP only yesterday, and you are indeed the best player in the regular season. But don’t forget, Tim Duncan did everything you did ten years ago, and it’s still continuous. Twice. This guy will score in unexpected ways. In the Western Conference Finals, Duncan will be resurrected and become the same as when he was young! Don’t use the experience of dealing with LaMarcus and Mark to deal with Tim, otherwise You will regret it." Divac was guiding An Jie's defensive movements behind An Jie, while chattering in An Jie's ear.
Even so, Anjie was not at all impatient. Although from joining the league to the present, Anjie has defeated the Spurs many times. Even several classic lore in Anjie's career were obtained against the Spurs.
But the terrifying strength the Spurs showed in the playoffs has exceeded the scope of the regular season. Whether it's Popovich or GDP, they all know what to do in the playoffs.
"Yes, that's it. Don't let me enter the penalty area, and put pressure on me from beginning to end. Don't play those clever things with Duncan. This guy has been in the league for so many years, and he has seen all kinds of tricks. Confront him head-on! This is the only way to restrain him!" Divac said, suddenly pushing hard and turning around to hook. There is no doubt that the ball was slapped by An Jie who was judged accurately.
Divac nodded approvingly. Even though Anjie is already very strong, he still has a heart to learn. Perhaps this is the most precious thing about An Jie.
"What? What a **** press conference? Didn't I say that journalists were not allowed in today? They said that the media day is a rigid rule of the league? Damn, I also said that the only indicator of the rose garden is Ricard! Okay. I see, tell the reporters to wait." Just when everyone was focusing on training, Ricard's voice yelled at the mobile phone and resounded throughout the audience.
Everyone stopped and stared at him, and Ricard was also searching among his players.
"Today is the media day, but none of you want to be lazy and continue training. Derek and Jared, you two should deal with it. This is a time for veterans." Ricard picked the two oldest members of the team. To deal with the media, after all, for the old guys who have completely degraded their physical functions, they have nothing to practice. Maintaining the rhythm of the team during the game and bringing experience to young players is their main role.
Maybe when Fischer and Jared Jeffries walk into the media reception room, Ricard will have countless mouths cursing him behind his back. But so what? Ricard now only cares about the quality of the team's training.
"Why are you staring at me? Envy Derek and Jared? Keep practicing!"
Ricard's words were like a switch. In an instant, the training ground became noisy again, and everyone was engaged in training.
The powerful Spurs did not scare the Trail Blazers, because the alluring scent of the championship title has made everyone on the Trail Blazers crazy.
They don't care if they are facing the Spurs, Duncan, or legendary GDP. An Jie doesn't care if he won the MVP only yesterday, or if he should show up in front of the media.
Now everyone on the Trail Blazers has only one thing in their minds: defeat the Spurs, reach the finals, win the trophy, and enjoy worship!

"Fuck Ricard!" A reporter heard a movement at the door, and he immediately raised the camera, ready to take all the pictures of Anjie, the new MVP.
However, to his surprise, it was not Angel who walked in from the door, nor even Aldridge and Lillard.
Derek Fischer and Jared Jeffries, who hadn't played for a long time, were almost forgotten, sat on the podium. "The two of us will attend this press conference today, so please ask if you have any questions."
Fischer and Jeffries are worthy of the old world. These two guys who came to be in danger looked at the reporters who were flushed with anger. They didn't react at all. They still sat on the podium with expressionless faces and waited. The problem arises.
"Damn, I knew it was better to wait for the Spurs at the airport." The reporters shook their heads, what else could they do? Ricard's attitude is clear, just don't want you to interview. Sue Ricard? This guy is fined at most. After all, the league must take good care of a coach who is a popular ball.
At the same time, at Portland International Airport, the arrival of a flight excited the people waiting in the airport lobby. The airport security and police were like enemies, and they immediately became nervous and pushed the crowd away to form a passage.
In a short while, a group of tall people came from the exit of the plane one by one. The whole hall immediately became noisy, and most people carried cameras and kept shooting at the team.
"Unexpectedly, we are so popular in Portland." Spurs young guard Danny Green waved to the reporters, but Duncan beside him still had that poker face with no expression on his face.
"Coach Popovich, what method are you going to use to limit Suan's performance!?"
"An threatened to take the O'Brien Cup this season. Do you think this MVP can pass the Spurs?"
"After Ann won the Most Valuable Player Award in the regular season, you must have a lot of opinions too!?"
Faced with the press by the reporters, Popovich ignored it. He is still at the forefront of the team and has not stopped his footsteps. Seeing Popovich like this, other Spurs dared not accept interviews from the media without authorization.
The reporters who had been deflated in the Rose Garden never expected that the situation at Portland International Airport was not much better. They could only admit that they were unlucky, and they met two coaches who were least welcome to see the media.
When all the Spurs walked out of the airport and once again saw the building where An Jie's huge poster was always posted, Danny Green observed that Duncan's face seemed to twitch.
The poster here is different from the last time the Spurs came to Portland.
An Jie wore the Blazers home jersey and held the ball to his chest with both hands~www.readwn.com~ His head was slightly lifted, looking arrogant.
The background of the entire poster is one of the main colors of the Trail Blazers, dark red. And this poster only has three letters written behind An Jie-MVP!
"Tim! What's wrong with you!?" Popovich yelled when Duncan refused to get in the car for a long time.
Duncan turned his gaze away from the poster and silently stepped onto the ladder of the team bus. The Trail Blazers spent a lot of money to get such an advertising space near the airport, but this did not scare the Spurs!
Does Anjie have a champion heart? The blood of the Spurs is still the champion!
The peak matchup in the West, 24 hours later, Duncan and Anjie will not make each other feel better!
