After defeating the Thunder, the Trail Blazers won a great victory with the Purple and Gold Army. The Trail Blazers have been creating surprises since Anger's comeback this season. But Portland fans still didn't expect that they could defeat two Western Conference teams at the same time.

"Mr. An, congratulations on winning the Western Conference Player of the Week Award. Do you think you have a chance to compete for the Player of the Month?" At the press conference after the game, the focus of the reporters' interviews was rare from Kobe to Anjie.

"The best month? My goal is mVp." An Jie smiled at the reporters below. No one knew that what a guy said was just a joke, or take it seriously.

"mVp? Well... you have been playing this season so far, and you can contribute 29.8 points, yiyi.5 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game. This is indeed yi mVp-level data. I hope Mr. An, you can stay in shape and strive to achieve your goal." Whether An Jie is joking or not, few reporters dare to question An Jie's words now.

At the beginning of the season, countless people predicted that the fate of the Trail Blazers and Anjie would be very miserable. But now, they have achieved a perfect start of 5 wins and losses. No reporter hopes that he will become the character who was slapped in the face. Anjie should not question anything. Maybe he can really do it?

"That's it, I have to rush to New York now." Before the reporters could finish their questions, Anger and Ricard got up and prepared to leave.

"New York? Mr. An, don't the Trail Blazers have to play back to back against the Suns in the next game? You should be flying to Phoenix now." A reporter smirked wickedly. As the team leader, he remembered his opponent wrongly, which is enough to prove that there is a problem with Anjie's attitude.

"Oh, Coach Ricard hasn't told you yet?" Angel looked at Ricard, and Ricard immediately grabbed the microphone.

"Tomorrow An will go to New York for his second intensive repair surgery on the meniscus, so he will miss tomorrow's game with the Suns. Of course, don't worry, if the surgery is successful, An will be able to play in two days and will not be absent for a long time." Ricard finished speaking, smiling slightly at the reporters who were surprised and couldn't stop, and then walked straight out of the media reception room with Anjie.

Anjie still needs surgery. Ricard and Anjie themselves just mentioned this big thing. In the past, reporters knew that Anjie had two intensive repair surgeries to do, but they didn't expect that this date would come so quickly.

In fact, this operation is not as exaggerated as the reporters thought. An Jie just needs to undergo a minimally invasive reinforcement repair. After the operation, his meniscus will be healthier and stronger than now. Of course, the minimally invasive wound will not affect An Jie's next day's game. Absent from the game is the price that this repair surgery only needs to pay.

When An Jie first entered the league, he was eager to win all the games. But now he knows that the long schedule of nBa makes it impossible for you to defeat your opponent every day. How to choose is the key.

Therefore, Anjie took the initiative to give up the back-to-back match with Phoenix Suns. First, the back-to-back match after two high-intensity competitions is very dangerous to his meniscus that has not been strengthened and repaired. Secondly, Steve Nash, who has lost his helper, is definitely not too strong now. Without Anjie, others can still deal with it.

Therefore, Anjie was relieved to part ways with the team and went to New York alone for surgery.

"Don't worry, Lamarcus, I'll be here for the next game." Looking at the worried Aldridge, Anjie comforted him a few words. The Trail Blazers, which won too much, are already inseparable from Anjie.

All the plans were implemented very smoothly. Anjie's plane arrived in New York on time and the operation was very successful. The doctor said that Anjie's legs can now wield at least 9 o'clock. Whether it is moving or bounce, Anjie must be stronger than before.

But there was only one link that did not follow the plan, that was, the Trail Blazers, who had won four consecutive games, failed to win away games. Without Anjie, the Trail Blazers suddenly lacked a backbone, and the team played in a mess and had no rules.

Ricard racked his brains below, but without Anjie, he had too many tactical changes.

Anjie can support him at a high position, Anjie can attract double teams at a low position, and Anjie can also efficiently perform singles against Yi from any position. These three points alone are enough to give Ricard a lot of tactical choices.

But suddenly, all of this was gone. The Trail Blazers lacked variables and a tough inside defense. Marcus Camby, who had a slow pace, could not stop the running and bombing style led by Nash.

Angel brought not only more players who could play, but also changes in the entire core. Originally, Portland fans thought that there were Aldridge and Gerald Wallace, and they should not have much pressure to win the Suns, which were already in glory.

But today, they finally realized that Angel was too important to the team. It was so important that he was missing, and the Blazers even had much less ways to win.

No wonder Aldridge was worried when Anjie left. He knew the importance of Anjie best when he partnered with Anjie. With Anjie, he could easily get an open shot. With Anjie, he didn't have to worry about being broken through. Anyway, there was a terrifying guy who was guarding him.

But today, Aldridge had to force his moves many times and had to spend more energy on the defensive end. The final result was that Aldridge did not do well in offense and defense.

97 to yio2, after experiencing a crazy five-game winning streak, the Trail Blazers finally stopped winning in Phoenix.

Aldridge, who took the lead, made only 6 goals in four shots, and scored a new season low of 4 points. Ricard did not make any mistakes in interpreting it. Aldridge is an excellent second-in-command, but it is definitely not a good choice to take the lead alone.

Although the team lost the ball, the Trail Blazers fans did not feel much dissatisfied. Even so, the Trail Blazers' performance was good enough. What's more, they will have Anjie again in the next game.

"Anjie's first intensive repair surgery was very successful. George Ricard: He will return in the home game of the Trail Blazers against the Spurs on 8th of yi. "The next day, the headline title in the Portland Evening News made everyone forget the unhappiness of the team after losing. Anjie, who only missed the game, returned with lightning! Moreover, in the comeback battle, it was still facing such a powerful opponent.

Ricard was still a little worried that Anjie would postpone his comeback due to surgery. Unexpectedly, he was so on time.

During Anjie's training, Ricard and the Trail Blazers' team doctor thoroughly checked Anjie's knee. If Anjie hadn't spoken, they wouldn't even find the scars left by the surgery on their knees.

"Don't worry, boss, not only does my knees have no problems, I also feel more flexible than before." Anjie moved his legs, but it was obvious that this still could not impress Ricard and the team doctor.

"You know how important you are to the team. If you don't protect you well, our season will be almost over." Ricard did not forget how difficult the Trail Blazers played in the game where Angel was absent. You should know that the Suns are not yet strong. So he would rather make a big deal than take any risks.

However, in the group confrontation training, Anjie shook Kanbi away with a few smooth and smooth steps to complete the attack, swinging his excellent form without reservation. It was not until this time that Ricard believed that Anjie was really not a problem. His pace was more flexible than before, because his meniscus was healthier than before.

Seeing Anjie's condition on the training ground, Ricard also had a huge confidence. Now, he really has the capital to wrestle the Spurs and that cunning guy, Vic.

After the Thunder and the Lakers, the San Antonio Spurs became the next pioneering target of the Trail Blazers.

"Catherine, you are thinner now than before." With the development of mobile devices in recent years, Anjie can now video calls with Catherine on his mobile phone anytime, anywhere. This is a scene that only appears in science fiction movies when he first came to the United States.

"The recipes are strictly controlled every day. How do your legs feel after the second surgery?" Katherine asked Anjie about her recovery with concern.

"It's very good, I feel more flexible and easier to work harder than before. I should be able to perform well against the Spurs in the next game. Come on, Catherine, because I was unable to participate in Paris Fashion Week last year, you must seize the opportunity this year." Anjie was a little ashamed, and Catherine gave up the best chance in his career just to accompany his injured self.

"I will be like An as you, and I will prove myself in Paris. Okay, go and practice more quickly, I will go to rehearsal too. I love you, An."

"I love you too, Catherine." Anjie smiled and turned off the video, picked up the basketball sitting under his butt. Although there was a game to play tomorrow, Anjie still did not relax his training. The team's core position allowed him to constantly urge himself to make progress. Because he knew that he had a greater responsibility now.

Just as An Jie was about to enter the strength training room, he heard the sound of the door of the training ground being opened. It has been almost half a month since he came to the Trail Blazers, but An Jie had never seen anyone other than himself at night.

So when the door of the training ground was opened, Anjie stared at the visitor with infinite curiosity. Sure enough, it was not someone else who came out of the darkness, but Anjie's best helper, Lamarcus Aldridge.

"An!?" Aldridge stared at Anjie, whose training vest was soaked. He didn't know that there was someone in the Trail Blazers practicing more.

"Oh my God, I always thought that the reports about you practiced are just rumors. I didn't expect that it was true." Aldridge thought that no one in this world would spend so much time training like Angel until he saw it with his own eyes today.

"Do you think that guy Cambi is easy to deal with? If you don't practice more, I will be the one who is abused on the training ground. Hey, why did you suddenly think of coming to practice at night today?" Anger hugged Aldridge friendlyly. He found that this guy is very similar to Durant. On the surface, he looked very introverted and didn't like to talk. But once he opened his heart to you, you will find that this is definitely a trustworthy guy.

"Tomorrow against the Spurs...you know, Tim Yi is my idol." Aldridge said and tried to shoot. Angel looked at the flying trajectory of the basketball and then retracted his eyes. He knew that there would be no mistake in the result.

The sound of the basket is like jazz in the bar in the training ground, very suitable for the occasion and even more beautiful.

"I want to show good performance on the field to fight Tim, right? Now I can't sleep no matter what, and I can't do other things with peace of mind. Because once you close your eyes, you will worry that your opponent is still training, but you are resting, so you will feel uneasy because of this?" Anjie told Aldridge's "symptoms" like a doctor.

"How do you know this feeling?" It's a magical thing to be seen through, which means you and that guy have a lot in common.

"Before I played with the Lakers, I was like you. I thought that Kobe might still be in the training ground, so I couldn't convince myself to stop." Anjie would not forget his mood before playing against Kobe, and he was just like Aldridge now.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the vicious butcher is also nervous." Aldridge thought that Anjie was a fearless tough guy. He played games with a high fever. After experiencing a major injury, he took the lead and fought with those perverted guys in a place with muscles. These have become Anjie's symbols.

But today, the Aldri Wizards felt that Anjie was so real, and he was also a flesh-and-blood guy.

"Hey, do you know that I have ended Tim's final kill with a block? Let me tell you, I am very kind to deal with Tim." Angel smiled at Aldridge with a stingy eyebrow, and Aldridge's eyes lit up in an instant.

Then, the two competed on the training ground. Of course, this confrontation was more about mutual guidance and help. Usually, while fighting, the party would suddenly stop and correct the mistakes made by the other party.

Aldridge has never realized that it was such an interesting thing to practice more. When both of them were exhausted, it was already 10:30 in the evening.

"I won't come, I won't come." Aldridge supported his knees with both hands and gasped heavily. Now he not only admired Anjie, but also admired Marcus Cambi, who did not fight Anjie.

"It's almost done, save some energy for tomorrow's game. Hey, don't worry, fight with Tim, I will stare at the one behind you." Anjie's simple words made Aldridge feel very at ease. It was precisely because of the lack of Anjie's protection that the Trail Blazers were afraid of fighting.
