Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Two: General Discord?

"Coach George Ricard, can you please accept our interview?" After the game, Ricard walked straight to the player channel in anger. But this group of reporters who had a lot of problems would not allow Ricard to escape easily.

"If you have any questions, please ask!" Ricard replied impatiently.

Seeing that Ricard was so angry, the reporters became even more excited. Ricard was angry, which means that something must have happened between him and Anjie!

"When the game was about to end in two minutes, we saw that you and An seemed to have a dispute on the bench. Since then, An has never played again. May I ask, did you not let him continue the game because of the argument with you?" The reporter did not beat around the bush and directly raised the most sensitive question that everyone wants to know the answer.

Ricard rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I am the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers. I don't want a player to play. I don't need to explain why."

After saying that, Ricard walked into the player channel on his own. Only a group of reporters were left staring at the back of the hot coach in amazement.

"An! Mr. An!" Nothing could be dug out from Ricard's mouth, so the reporters naturally surrounded Anger. Garnett and Pierce were not so popular as winners of this game. Those who don't know thought the Trail Blazers had won 28 consecutive victories.

"What do you think is the reason for your winning streak today?"

"The Celtics play better than us, we are too tired, we really need a rest," Anger replied calmly.

"Do you think if Coach Ricard sent you to the field at the last moment, you can turn the tide?"

"The team's tactics and rotation were carefully designed and thought hard by the head coach. The head coach would definitely have his reasons for not letting me play. As a player, all I have to do is obey. I believe that he did not let me play in the end was the best choice for the game at that time." Although An Jie was very angry, he was not stupid. After all, after all, after all, after all, they had an extraordinary relationship with Ricard for so many years, they had to be resolved behind closed doors. An Jie didn't want to intensify the conflict and put it on the table.

"Okay, as I said, we are really tired. If possible, please go and interview the winners. If you have any questions, let's talk about it during the press conference." After An Jie said that, he tried his best to squeeze out the crowd and left the court.

It was not until Angel left that the protagonist here finally became Garnett and Pierce who played at home.

An Jie pushed open the door of the locker room, and was the last one to arrive because he was surrounded by reporters.

The locker room was very quiet, terrible. Everyone looked up at Angel who was pushing the door, and Ricard was inside.

Time froze for a few seconds, and everyone in the locker room stared at the two people looking at each other nervously.

However, Ricard said nothing, and he turned his head and continued to do his own thing. And Anjie ignored Ricard and just sat in front of his cabinet.

"We tried our best, guys, don't be too discouraged." Anjie began to comfort his teammates, and also broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Who is going to attend the press conference with me?" Ricard also began to ask after Anjie finished speaking. However, this time, he did not take the initiative to call Anjie.

Seeing that his teammates were all looking at An Jie, An Jie had to express his opinion.

"I'll go, I'll go." Angel's tone was reluctant. Divac shook his head. The atmosphere of the Trail Blazers' locker room had never been so nervous.

At the press conference, the reporters naturally asked a lot of questions about the quarrel. But Ricard and Anger's answers were all over the place.

There are advantages to not answering questions directly, and naturally there are disadvantages. The advantage is that the conflict between the two will not intensify and will not be made public. As for the disadvantage, the reporters who have not obtained the exact information will make up for the whole story on their own, and then publish the untrue information in newspapers, websites and news.

God knows if Kobe and O'Neal would have broken up without the exaggerated hype of the Los Angeles media back then. What sports journalists nowadays are not good at digging the truth, but fabricating "facts".

Although the Trail Blazers' winning streak has been concluded, their 27-game winning streak is already excellent enough, and it doesn't hurt to lose a game at all. So now, people don't care about the end of the winning streak. They put all their interest points on Angel and Ricard.

After losing to the Celtics, the Trail Blazers will get the 4-day rest time I dreamed of. Divac doesn't know whether the Trail Blazers can return to normal in these 4 days. Physical factors are trivial matters. If the generals don't match, the problem will be serious...

................

Every nBa team will have a star. This star is usually the guy with the strongest comprehensive ability in the team and the most capable helper of the head coach.

However, when the two strong roles of the star and the head coach are intertwined, there will inevitably be some friction. The question of whether the head coach is authoritative or the star is authoritative has not yet been concluded.

Back then, there was a conflict between Iverson and Larry Brown. Zen master Fei Er Jackson accused Kobe of "not coaching." O'Neal also complained that Riley trained him to death, and almost all superstars could not get along well with great coaches forever.

With these examples in front of you, the reporters can naturally play their best. So the two hottest news in the basketball circle the next day, one is that the Celtics ended the Trail Blazers' winning streak record, and after continuing to end the Rockets' 22 consecutive wins, they successfully became the veritable "winning-string terminator".

The second news was that the good relationship between Angel and Ricard was finally shattered. Of course, the statement that collapsed was just the guess of the reporters themselves. Because they did not get any useful news from Angel and Ricard. Therefore, all the news published today is not 100% true.

In fact, after waking up the next day, Anjie regretted contradicting Ricard.

"What's the difficulty? You have been playing ball under him since college and apologizing for him. What's the matter?" Catherine really doesn't understand why the relationship between men is so complicated and so simple.

"But... how do I speak..." Anjie now understands that yesterday Ricard just wanted to protect himself and fight for a more important championship plan. Because even if the Trail Blazers surpassed the 33 consecutive wins created by the Lakers, but did not win the championship in the end, all this makes no sense.

And your own health is directly related to whether the Trail Blazers can win the championship.

It was just that the players who were excited during the game were already irritable, and Anjie's competitive spirit was at work at that time. That's why he contradicted Ricard so angrily.

However, it can be seen that Ricard did not argue with An Jie either. He was just sulking. After all, being trained by himself and being confronted by a player who was as close as a father and son, did hurt Ricard's heart a little.

If Ricard was really angry, he would not remain silent, but would use all the swear words in the world to curse Anjie. But Ricard did not do this because he knew that a conversation between men could solve all this unpleasant solution.

But neither of them is willing to take the initiative to bow their heads, two guys with strong personalities.

One day, two days. Two days passed, and Angel and Ricard had not said a word. Divac could only shake his head helplessly as a bystander. As a bystander, he was powerless in such matters. Only Angel and Ricard themselves could solve the problem.

Seeing that the team atmosphere was getting worse and worse, and the morale of his teammates was getting lower and lower, An Jie couldn't bear it anymore. As the team leader, as the source of all the bad effects, An Jie decided to put down his burden and deal with the problem that had to be solved. So after the next day's training, An Jie took the initiative to knock on the door of Ricard's office.

"Please come in."

Ricard was a little surprised when he saw that the person who came in was Anjie.

"Is there anything?" This was the first thing Ricard said to Angel over the past few days.

"I...I want to talk to you, boss."

Ricard smiled in his heart. At this moment, he had forgiven Anjie without too much language. He understood Anjie, and Anjie understood him too. But the guy still had a serious face. "Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

“About that day…”

"Okay, stop talking. I'm scattering like a woman, so disgusting." Ricard began to swear, which means that the brief gap between him and Anjie had completely disappeared.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to win the game."

"Nothing sorry, we all came to win the game. I have to apologize to you, after all, that was a record set by you on the court with your injury. I don't have the right to take it away, I'm sorry."

Anjie was surprised. He didn't expect that Ricard, who was strong, would put down his figure and apologize to him.

"This is not the record I set, the record we set." An Jie smiled, and this smile also means that the crack between him and Ricard completely disappeared.

Yes, sometimes the relationship between men is very complicated, but sometimes it is so simple. A few simple words and expressions are enough to make the two men who originally had the opposite end and reconcile.

However, after quarrels or even fights, the relationship between the two men who have been together will only be more stable!

"Do you know? Now everyone says we have conflicts. There is even a newspaper saying that I publicly scold you as an idiot in the training ground." When the relationship between the two recovered, the reports on the market seemed to Ricard and Angel, so ridiculous.

"When we continue to win in the next game, they should understand what our relationship is." An Jie was in a good mood, his depression, the pressure of winning streak, and the burden of physical fitness have been wiped out in the past few days.

With a relaxed physical mood, An Jie couldn't wait to show his skills in the next game.

27 consecutive victories ended? Internal conflicts arise between the Trail Blazers? The unstoppable Trail Blazers finally fall?

As much as you say, An Jie is ready to make everyone fall off.

February 27 will be the last game for the Trail Blazers in February.

The Denver Nuggets led by George Carl will be the weapon to test whether the Trail Blazers have truly fallen.
