Chapter four hundred and fiftieth IX: the first day to finish

Even though the Trail Blazers were about to face the Bulls who lacked Ross in the next day's game, Angel did not relax at all in preparation.

Rose, who was unfortunately injured in the playoffs last season, will miss all the games in the 12-13 season. This not only casts a shadow on the youngest mVP Rose's personal career, but also gives a heavy blow to the newly-rise Bulls.

Last season, the Bulls entered the playoffs as the number one in the Eastern Conference. This season, their biggest wish is just to hope that no one in the team will be injured. Such a team is not at the same level as the Trail Blazers who are in the limelight.

But in Spike Lee's shot, An Jie is still practicing hard for himself.

"I'm not just doing this for the next game, but for the whole season, for my entire career." In the face of Spike Lee's question, Anjie smiled and answered. This guy is never satisfied with what he saw, and maybe this is one of the reasons why Anjie can succeed.

On the game day, Spike Lee planned to focus on the shooting. Fans often only see Anjie raging on the court, but what is he like in the locker room? What will he say on the bench? If fans want to know Anjie in all aspects, Spike Lee will give them an Anjie in all aspects.

But what Spike Lee didn't expect was that he would take this picture outside the Rose Garden Stadium.

Two young men were running towards the camera while talking and laughing. The two tall guys' tight shirts were wet with sweat. Facing the photographer, they did not deliberately look in the direction of the camera. After all, being photographed was just a common occurrence for these two guys.

These two big and tall men who were black and yellow in skin, running around the Rose Garden stadium in the morning are the two cornerstones of the Trail Blazers, Angel and Lamarcus Aldridge.

"Lamarcus said that running around the Rose Garden in the morning before the home game will bring good luck to himself. So we do this often." Spike Lee's documentary will be interspersed with a lot of Anger's monologues, which is equivalent to interviews one by one. This is the answer to Anger's later question "You are going to run around the court in the morning?"

Warm up, training, rest, and fighting in the locker room. Spike Lee greedily filmed all the scenes he could get. This guy is already thinking about how to edit these scenes into a wonderful documentary. And Anjie is also thinking about how to ensure that the team will not capsize in tonight's game.

Finally, the game tonight was about to begin. Before the game, Spike Lee showed an interesting scene. The Trail Blazers substitute inside player Meyers Leonard always practiced with Anjie a few times while warming up before the game. The white rookie seemed to trust and admire Anjie very much.

After the game started, Spike Lee's task was simple. He and the photographer only had to take a picture of Anjie in the entire game without missing a single missed picture. The subsequent things were completely completed in editing.

For An Jie, the hardest part of the day's work has just begun.

Although Rose is missing, the Bulls' performance this season is very tenacious. They only topped the East in the regular season last season, and it is impossible for them to be willing to go to the lottery zone this season.

There is no superstar, no level scorer. Jeff Van Gundy's disciple Tom Thibodeau used his master's most proud tricks, team and defense.

Noah, Boozer, Deng, Hamilton, Hinrich, and the five Tigers of the Bulls can only be described as shabby in front of the Trail Blazers. But after the game began, the Bulls were all soldiers, everyone could score when they stood up, and everyone was willing to share the ball.

They are all full of fighting spirit, making you unable to see that they are a team that has lost their star.

The Bulls' proud defense brought great trouble to the Trail Blazers. Spike Li originally thought that Anjie would play easily and happily in this game, but after halfway through the first quarter, the two sides still did not tell which one was better.

Seeing this situation, Ricard could no longer sit still. Although the Trail Blazers are not at a disadvantage, facing a team with mediocre combat effectiveness, Ricard still doesn't want to see the opponent be able to hold on to the score. He needs an advantage, the advantage that is built from the beginning of the game to the last moment! If the Trail Blazers fall into such a game, it would be a loss.

"Who do you think you are fighting with? Yes, Derek Ross is indeed very important to the Bulls. But this does not mean that without Ross, the Bulls will have no power to fight back!" Ricard could see that the subordinates who have been playing very well this season have been a little self-inflated. If Anjie hadn't been awake on the court, the Bulls might have been ahead now.

"Okay guys, the boss is right. We shouldn't be forced so badly by them! Come on, they won't agree if we let this victory slip away." Anjie said, pointing to the fans in the stands of the Rose Garden.

"Good guy, people are willing to listen to him." Spike Li naturally did not miss the scene when the pause was just now. What he didn't expect was that An, as an "outsider" from a distant country, could have such a high prestige in the Trail Blazers. When he spoke, everyone else was willing to listen and would not interrupt. Some people might say that is not the same with Nowitzki in the Mavericks? But you have to know that this is the second season after Anjie came to the Trail Blazers.

After a timeout, Kirk Hinrich, who replaced Rose to the Bulls' No. 1 position, confidently set up his defensive posture. Before the game, they always heard how powerful the Trail Blazers were, but judging from the current game, the young Trail Blazers are just like this!

Just as Hinrich was secretly admiring his team's defensive system, Lillard suddenly added and he rushed towards Hinrich!

"Silly boy!" Hinrich thought Lillard was going to break through, so he moved his position and prepared to wait for the offensive foul to come to his door.

However, just as Lillard and Hinrich were about to collide, Lillard suddenly changed to the left, and Hinrich only felt a gust of wind hanging over his cheek. Where is Lillard? Lillard had already broken through Hinrich and plunged towards the inside.

"Lillard's unabated change of direction! Hinrich had no response! Oh my God, this guy actually planned to defeat the Bulls in Rose's way!" Mike Brynn didn't expect that Lillard, who had always been considered to be poor in physical fitness, had completed jaw-dropping performances on the court many times. This guy was selected in the sixth pick. Mike Brynn had to wonder if it was God, he was just kidding the Trail Blazers. He once ruined the Trail Blazers' two future pillars, and now he used Lillard to compensate him again.

After diving into the inside, Lillard has many choices. He can shoot directly or continue to go deeper. Of course, breaking through and passing the ball is Lillard's specialty.

Lillard saw that Noah and Boozer had formed a "net" and were ready to capture himself at any time. In this case, Angel and Aldridge must have room to take action!

Thinking of this, Lillard suddenly jumped up. Noah thought the little guard was about to dunk, so he rushed out of the ambush circle and went to the basket to make up.

Unexpectedly, after Lillard stretched out his body in the air, he leaked the ball back and gave it to Aldridge.

Aldridge did not let the basketball stay in his hands for more, and he passed the ball as soon as he received the ball. When the camera finally stopped swaying with the basketball, people saw Anjie who had run out of the open space without realizing it.

An Jie wouldn't be able to seize such a ball when shooting in the middle distance at an open space.

Although the Trail Blazers only scored two points in this goal, Anjie officially sounded the clarion call for the offense.

In the subsequent games, the tenacious Bulls would never let the Trail Blazers pull the score difference too much, but they could not effectively break the score. The score difference between the two teams has been cycling within the range of 5 to 8 points. Whenever the Bulls see hope, the Trail Blazers will use their strength to pour cold water on them without mercy.

In fact, the Bulls' tactics are very good, but when neither side's tactics can completely restrain each other, the importance of the player's personal ability is revealed.

Whenever the deadlock is encountered, the Bulls can only take action. On the Trail Blazers, there are more people who can break the deadlock.

Anjie grabbed offensive rebounds more than once to complete a second attack, and Lillard and Aldridge frequently used incredible but ultimately hit shots to hit their opponents. The Bulls are still tenacious, but relying solely on tenacity will not win a basketball game.

Then, Nate Robinson, the "little potato" on the Bulls' bench, stood up. The "shortest dunk king" came out of the three-point line and almost helped the Bulls reverse the score. However, when Ricard sent Iguodala to match Nate Robinson, the guy who was only 1.75 in height seemed to have disappeared. If his height was not too conspicuous, the fans might have forgotten him completely.

The Bulls players and Thibodeau still did not give up. They fought with the Trail Blazers until the last moment. Especially the desperate Saburo Jokin Noah, he even made Anjie make three mistakes in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. Anjie has always been synonymous with stable appearance, with three mistakes in a single quarter, which is the first time he has experienced in his career.

Even so, the Bulls, who had a clear gap in hard power, still lost 94 to 1o2. Spike Lee quickly called the photographer to rush forward. If the reporters seized the opportunity, many precious shots would not be captured.

The atmosphere in the locker room after the game was much calmer than Spike Lee imagined. The Trail Blazers were very young, and even their coach was a young coach. So Lee thought their locker room would be very lively. In fact, before the game started, the locker room was indeed very lively.

But after the game, everyone was very tired. Moreover, the victory of this game was completely expected. If you lose, the locker room would be even more noisy.

In the first game after the suspension, An Jie was exhausted from his strength that he had been holding back for a long time. 33 points and 16 rebounds were enough to make him occupy the headlines of major sports newspapers. At the same time, Spike Lee's shooting was officially on track.
