After working hard for so long, An Jie was finally not selected for the Best Defensive Team perfunctorily, but truly took the Best Player of the Year award in his hands.

For a player who takes defense as his mission, winning this award will definitely make him happy for several days. An Jie is no exception. He has returned home now, but he is so excited that he still tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

In the middle of this season, Anjie had already held up the All-Star MVP trophy at the same time with Durant. In other words, the Best Defensive Player is Anjie's second individual award this season.

Before, Anjie also won honors such as mVp in the Asian Championships, rookie competitions, and other awards. But no time has ever made Anjie as excited as today.

There is no way, the value of the best defensive player of the year is not comparable to those small awards. This is the recognition of An Jie in the entire basketball circle, and it is also the best proof that An Jie ruled the penalty area!

Dwight Howard, who was gradually depressed in the Magic, must be resurrected, otherwise Angel, Ibaka or Morris would probably ride on his head.

An Jie held the trophy that was not golden but very exquisite, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, but Anjie still wanted to use the news to see the news that he won the Best Defensive Player Award. However, after watching it for a while, the smile on Anjie's face gradually solidified.

"Now, an emergency news was broadcast. Just a few minutes ago, the San Antonio Spurs, ranked No. 1 in the Western Conference in the regular season, successfully defeated the Mavericks at the American Airlines Center Arena and advanced to the next round of the playoffs with a total score of 4-o. The Spurs' next round opponent will be the Portland Trail Blazers, who also advanced by sweeping the opponent. The two teams' games will be held after the first round of the showdown. At that time, everyone is welcome to lock in the live broadcast of the game brought to you by espn. Okay, let's go to the next news. Just today, nBa officially announced the winner of the season's Best Defensive Player Award, the center An of the Portland Trail Blazers..." Before the news was finished, Anjie turned off the TV. In an instant, he was not in the mood to watch the news again, and the joy generated by winning the award was also reduced a lot.

Sweeping the defending champion, ranking first in the Western Conference in the regular season, the San Antonio Spurs... This name is like a heavy stone, pressing heavily on Anjie's broad shoulders.

Unexpectedly, in the second round, they actually met them. How many players can laugh when facing the Spurs?

Indeed, Duncan is not as aggressive as Griffin, and Parker is not as agile as Paul. But when the Spurs' group gathers together, they can become the strongest team! The most terrifying thing is that the old man who controls this excellent team is named Greg **Vic.

I just defeated the Clippers and just dealt with Paul and Griffin's desperate attacks. But before I could catch my breath, the next stronger opponent had already come to me.

One wave has not been tied and the other has started again. This is the fiercely competitive playoffs.

"The Mavericks are too unsatisfactory." Ricard was under greater pressure than Angel. If Angel was only facing Duncan, who was not at the peak, and Ricard needed to fight, he had just won the Best Coach of the Year Award Duoduo**Vic!

When he was a coach of a high school basketball team, many of Ricard's tactical ideas and ideas were learned from **Vic. **Vic has always been one of the few idols of Ricard.

When he was in college, Ricard often studied **Vicci's way of making moves. Because in his opinion, only by studying tactical masters like *Vicci can he make progress.

Unexpectedly, Ricard now wants to draw his sword against his idol and teacher in the playoffs!

"The Mavericks... are so incompetent..." Apart from repeating this sentence, what else can Ricard say?

As the defending champion, the Mavericks, whose strength has been greatly reduced this season, is the ideal second-round opponent for the Trail Blazers. When he was still fighting with the Clippers, Ricard prayed to God more than once, praying that the Dallas Mavericks could successfully complete the Black Eight and defeat the Spurs to enter the second round. Unfortunately, the gap in strength between the Mavericks and the Spurs cannot be filled with just a few prayers. Although the performance of "German Chariot" Nowitzki is still eye-catching, in terms of overall strength, the Mavericks are still much worse than the Spurs.

Now, this terrible opponent finally fell on the Blazers.

There is no way. Since you can't hide, you can only fight bravely!

Ricard stopped complaining. He listened to a piano piece, drank a cup of strong black coffee, and pressed his temple with his thumbs. Suddenly, Ricard's spirit looked much better. He opened the video of the Spurs' first round series and started his brainstorming in the next round...

For the Trail Blazers, the Spurs are a threatening opponent. For the Spurs, aren’t the Trail Blazers also a strong enemy?

In the regular season, both sides have a win or a loss, no difference. The Spurs cannot have an overwhelming advantage in the Trail Blazers, but it is very difficult for the Trail Blazers to defeat the Spurs. Therefore, the Spurs' GDP and **Vic are not much easier than Angel and Ricard.

"I said back then that Anna Boy will definitely become a major obstacle in our career." During the training the next day, **Vic first summoned his players to take tactical classes in the conference room. Their research object was naturally the Trail Blazers.

Looking at An Jie's wonderful goals and exquisite assists on the TV screen, Duncan, who usually doesn't talk much, suddenly said something.

"You're just stinky." The response to Duncan was naturally the Spurs' metronome, "French sports car" Tony Parker. When Duncan first played against Angel in 8, Duncan looked at Angel's figure and said this to Parker.

At that time, Parker didn't agree. It would be great if such a thin Chinese player could gain a foothold in nBa. When anyone didn't eat meat, Anjie's performance was excellent in a few occasions, which doesn't mean anything.

But unexpectedly, An Jie's outstanding performance has become a reality four years later.

Encountering the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semi-finals is indeed a major obstacle to the Spurs' journey.

"You all saw that you can't leave any gap for the Spurs to defend the Spurs! Yes, when playing against the Clippers, you may be able to temporarily let Jordan Jr. and miss Mo Williams outside the three-point line. But facing the Spurs, such a natural missed person is absolutely not allowed to die! As long as you miss any Spurs player on the court, I'm talking about anyone! Then thanks to **Vicci's system, you will definitely pay the price!" Like **Vicci, the first thing Ricard did after assembling the team the next day was to take his own players to study and record the video.

If you want to defeat your opponent, the first thing you have to do is to understand your opponent. Analyzing the game video is undoubtedly the best way to achieve this goal.

"An? That guy is indeed very strong, but we still cannot give up on his defense. What we need to do is not to prevent him from getting fewer points, but to let him get points in an inefficient way as much as possible. After watching so many An's videos, what did anyone show up?" **Vicci said, and suddenly asked the players below a question.

But when **Vicci asked, there was no sound below.

"In addition to all-around skills and terrifying defense, have these game videos demonstrated Angel's shortcomings?" This is the reaction of most players to the problem of **Vicci.

However, one of them seriously recalled everything he had just seen and started thinking about it.

"He attacked with his left hand significantly less than his right hand. In addition, he likes long passes very much, but the Blazers' guard is not as fast as Westbrook." Duncan raised his hand and answered two points.

"Yes, Tim, forcing Anjie to attack the frame with his left hand, I think we should get unexpected surprises. Beware of An's long pass from the backcourt, which can bring him more mistakes. Of course, An's weaknesses are more than these. For example..." **Vic is worthy of being a master of tactics, and his details are different from others. The players' habits of using left and right hands cannot escape **Vic's eyes.

Of course, Duncan, who appears as a player, is even more sophisticated.

"One-on-one close-fitting defense, reduce assisted defense, reduce double-teams, pay attention to your own people. The Spurs are a team that performs excellent conduction balls. Too casual assisted defense and double-teaming will not only not consolidate the defense, but will expose their weaknesses to the enemy. Believe me, the Spurs will definitely not miss any opportunity, don't be lucky." **. Vic made arrangements for Angel in San Antonio, and Ricard also analyzed the characteristics of the Spurs for the players. Both teams were incompatible and added inventory to their arsenal in a crazily.

There is only one day to prepare for the game, and both coaches are eager to instill their appearance into the players' minds. On the court, they are just doing it with real swords and guns. Only now are crazyly increasing the "inventory" and the chance of winning will be greater when they arrive on the court.

"Okay, everyone, come out and prepare. We will run the tactics we will use tomorrow. After training, we will set sail for an hour and go to San Antonio!" After watching the video, Ricard clapped his palms. Be fully prepared, it is always harmless.

When the Portland bus arrived at the airport, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Anjie, who was originally asleep in the car, was awakened by Aldridge beside him.

"Look at Na An!" Aldridge smiled and pointed out the window.

An Jie looked out the window with his hazy eyes open, but the next second, his eyes suddenly became round.

Outside Portland International Airport, countless pioneering fans stood on both sides of the sidewalk holding signs with various slogans to see off their heroes!

Although most of these people were unable to watch the game on site, their hearts were connected with the Trail Blazers who were about to fly to the distance.

The warriors of the City of Tearing are not fighting alone! They themselves represent the City of Tearing!

It was not until the plane took off and climbed so much that it could not see the land of Portland through the thick clouds that Angel's right hand, which was placed on his heart, finally took it down.

The reason he did this was to let the fans who saw them off all the way know. I remember all your expectations in my heart!

A strong sense of mission surged in my heart, and returning from San Antonio with victory has become Anger's next goal!
Chapter completed!
