Chapter 525: Get off work early

Before this game began, almost everyone's attention was focused on rumors of disagreement between Angel and Ricard.

However, few people will remember that the Trail Blazers, after the winning streak was ended, have already received a full four days of rest. These four days of rest not only solved the problem between Angel and Ricard, but also allowed the Trail Blazers to let go of the psychological burden of winning streak and huge physical burden.

Therefore, today, the Trail Blazers are fully capable of playing a beautiful game to win a big victory. But everyone was deceived by the good show directed by Ricard and Anger.

"Do you still continue to double-team?" Tay Lawson asked hesitantly. An Jie was single and passing the ball just now, making people unable to understand what he wanted to do.

George Carl stared at the Trail Blazers bench and looked at it. Angel still did not walk into the crowd to listen to the tactics arranged by Ricard. Divac was still explaining to Angel alone.

Could it be that the passes of Anjie just happened to be a flash in the pan? With Anjie's ability to read games, even if he doesn't listen to tactics, he can indeed pass a few such balls. But George Carl thinks that everything is wrong. Is the "contradiction" between Anjie and Ricard a bit too far-fetched?

"Don't double-team, defend according to the usual way!" George Carl became a little alert, and he began to feel that the conflict between Angel and Ricard was not as simple as it seemed.

After returning from the second quarter, the Nuggets no longer used double-teams against Anjie. Anjie began his own raging journey in the inside. Costa Cuffus really had no choice but to play Anjie. From NCAA to now, he has never won a head-on battle with Anjie.

This guy's soft style made An Jie come and go freely in the inside. He pushed the small hook after pushing back, half-turned back and took a step back and dunked after a tough breakthrough... An Jie scored unscrupulously in the inside, and Ricard's scolding never stopped.

"These two scammers! Fuck!" Looking at this funny scene, George Carl guessed everything. The so-called "disagreement" between Ricard and Anjie was a scam from the beginning! And his Nuggets had been cheated for almost the whole half!

When George and Carl reacted, the Nuggets were already 15 points behind. Anger's singles almost paralyzed the Nuggets' inside line, and Lillard's brave breakthrough and precise shooting even widened the gap between the two teams.

At the end of the half-time game, the Nuggets, who were originally leading, became the lagging side. 43 to 58, and looking at the huge score difference, the commentators didn't know how to evaluate the Trail Blazers.

During the intermission, Ricard accepted a brief interview with an ESPN reporter. The reporter's questions were of course focused on him and An Jie.

"I replaced An out of respect and trust. But it was obvious that this guy disappointed me very much. I think you wouldn't see An in the second half." Ricard still kept the fans and reporters in the dark, but George Carl, who was behind the score, would not continue to be stupid.

He used the short time in the midfield to completely re-form a defensive plan. However, George Carl was able to react, which did not mean that the Nuggets players could also react.

At the beginning of the second half, Anjie did not play. Lillard, who was in a hot state, took the banner of attack.

He used his athletic ability to play Andre Miller, a veteran but slow-moving veteran, to the point of playing around.

Breakthrough, emergency stop, three-pointer, Lillard can do everything today, George and Carl formulated a bunch of tactics about blocking the center, but the pioneers of the Trail Blazers are the defenders.

George Carl's roar is now more frequent than Ricard. Lillard's ball-holding offense has made him the focus of defense, especially Wilson Chandler on the wing, who often rushed to make up for the defense.

Over time, Iguodala received less and less "care" and Lillard slowly began to feed Iguodala. Unfortunately for George Carl, Iguodala was in a hot state today!

The winning streak was just over, and now the Trail Blazers players can't wait to prove themselves with the victory of another game. After enough rest, they are planning to vent all their grievances and dissatisfaction today.

The Nuggets have begun to be in chaos, and the Trail Blazers' offense has made the Nuggets' defense even more chaotic.

A block or a steal may help the Nuggets stabilize the situation temporarily, but unfortunately, no one among them can do that.

Seeing that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger, George Carl called a timeout in advance. He had to interrupt the strong momentum of the Trail Blazers. To keep them going so crazy, it would be very difficult for the Nuggets to move back.

"What's going on with your defense?? It's simply unbearable!" George Carl's roar was even bigger than Ricard's just now.

The Nuggets players were also very aggrieved. They set up many defensive traps for Anger. But until now, Anger has not played again. Lillard seized the opportunity with his own strength and completely tore the Nuggets' untargeted defense to pieces.

George Carl was hesitating whether to re-arrange his defense. But to be on the safe side, he ended up just turning the defense into a traditional human-to-human sign.

Just after this timeout, under the shocked gaze of all the reporters and commentators, Ricard sent Angel to the field. Moreover, these two people looked extremely close!

"Your teammates have done a great job. Go up and widen the gap a little, and then you can clock in and get off work!" Ricard and Anjie hugged him. It was time for the scene to end.

"What's going on!?"

"Isn't Ricard an incompatible relationship with Anshi??"

"Damn it! Go and dig out first-hand information for me!"

"Coach George Ricard said during the break that he would not send Angel again! But now, Angel is playing high-profile and is talking and laughing with Coach Ricard! I don't know what was born on the Trail Blazers' bench just now, but I'm sure the Nuggets won't have any good results!"

After Anjie reappeared, the Nuggets players' expressions could only be described as horror.

Facing the Nuggets' substitute center, Jamal McGee, who had amazing jumping power, Angel hooked his finger at him.

Use any skills quickly! Don’t delay my get off work time!

The Nuggets' first attack after the timeout was restored by Anjie in time. Jamal McGee is indeed tougher than Kufus and more active than the Greeks. But this guy's ability to read games still needs to be improved. It is easy for Anjie to get rid of McGee's entanglement.

After taking the rebound, Anjie handed the ball to Lillard, and then directed his teammates to quickly take the position. At this moment, the king who tore the city finally returned to his fortress!

Lillard handed the ball to Iguodala on the wing, who held the ball and threatened three times, while Angel mentioned the high pick-and-roll.

As soon as Anjie fell to the position, Iguodala broke through with the ball. Chandler was blocked firmly, but McGee didn't know whether he should chase Iguodala or continue to stand in front of Anjie.

So the next scene almost made George Carl rush up and beat someone.

I saw Wilson Chandler and Jamal McGee pounced on Iguodala at the same time. McGee's poor reading ability made him and Chandler's defense switch without any tacit understanding.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Angel pulled the free throw line. McGee was still insisting on biting Iguodala, who jumped towards the basket, but he did not attack the frame, but passed the ball in the air, giving Angel the opportunity.

"Anjie! This is no different from free throws for him!" Before Anjie could shoot, Yu Jia was ready to shout "good ball".

An Jie, who received the ball behind the free throw line, was empty. He didn't even jump, and hit the shot in a free throw posture. The only difference is that this "free throw" is worth two points.

"Oh..." George Carl covered his head in pain. Why are they all professional players? McGee and Angel's tactical qualities will be so different. With McGee's athletic ability, if his tactical qualities can be improved, he will definitely not be a player of the same level as he is now.

McGee, who knew he had missed someone, was also a little dissatisfied, and he urgently needed to use a ball to prove himself again. If he didn't show any performance and made George Carl's temper, he would definitely be replaced soon!

Ty Lawson handed the ball to McGee at the low post and waited for an opportunity to run. Lawson passed the ball to McGee with the purpose of making him a turnover and making it easier for other Nuggets to run more easily.

However, when McGee saw that Anjie was not sticking tight enough, he interrupted the tactic without authorization, turned around and jumped to prepare to dunk vigorously!

McGee's perverted bounce allowed him to often complete some shocking heavy buttons. Even Anjie couldn't help but applaud when he saw those shots.

But today, Angel doesn't want to be McGee's foil.

Anjie and McGee jumped almost at the same time, but in terms of bounce and bounce, Anjie knew that he was not McGee's opponent.

Angel just experienced his manners and his arms, and used his tough body to put pressure on McGee.

McGee was unwilling to give up, so he forced a dunk on Angel's head. The final result was that the basketball was dunked directly by McGee.

"Jamale McGee's dunk failed. Angel took off for the second time and grabbed the rebound! He threw the ball directly into the frontcourt. Lillard's increase was quick, and this was his favorite pass! Ty Lawson directly knocked Lillard who was about to catch the ball! This was a foul! And there was no doubt that this was a malicious foul!"

Ty Lawson did not reduce the collision and let Lillard fly directly to the bench. This is a rugby-like collision. Maybe this foul would cause Lillard to be injured.

Lawson was about to spread his hands to the referee to signal his innocence, but he felt that someone had hit him hard.

The little defender looked back and saw An Jie angry. He was asking for an explanation for his teammates. Of course, An Jie would not use that kind of gentle defense.

"Calm down! Damien is fine!" Iguodala immediately hugged Angel from behind, and Lillard slowly stood up, indicating that there was no problem with his body.

"If there is another time, you will be the one who is unlucky, boy. You'd better be careful!" Anjie pointed at Tay Lawson's nose and cursed.

At the same time, several referees on duty gathered in front of the technical stand to watch the video. In slow motion, the collision of Tay Lawson was a deliberate collision without any restraint, which was a serious act of harming the opponent.

After several people discussed, the referee unanimously decided to award Tay Lawson a second-level malicious foul, and he would be directly expelled!

"Damn it! You are so partial to the top in the West, right?" Tai Lawson was also a little dissatisfied. George and Carl even greeted the referee's family quickly in a short time.

And what about Ricard? He just applauded on the sidelines and gave a thumbs up at the referee from time to time.

The reporters were completely confused. Is there really a problem of such a united Trail Blazers? If not, what happened to Calder and Anjie's previous actions?

However, there is no time for reporters to consider these things, and the game will soon resume. It is just that the Nuggets, who have lacked core point guards, have less hope of successful counterattack.

After being angry, Angel and Lillard fought more bravely, while the Nuggets, whose morale was hit hard, were getting worse and worse.

Anjie's tough style on the court caused the Nuggets players to suffer a lot, but Anjie felt that this was not too much. At least, his toughness would not cause the opponent to be injured. And Ty Lawson's foul just now was just rushing for someone but not the ball!

Under the dual firepower of Angel and Lillard, the third quarter game turned into a one-sided massacre. Sometimes the Nuggets could not find a decent phone call even before the 24-second offensive time was exhausted. As for defense, when Angel and Lillard both exploded, no defense could limit them.

85-6o, the Nuggets almost lost the game. The remaining fourth quarter is just to give them more time to survive.

"Thank you, An." At the end of the third quarter, Lillard touched Anjie's shoulder with his fist. Lillard was still very happy that Anjie could stand up for him.

"I believe that if I were violated, you would have done this." Angel and Lillard sat down, and Ricard walked up happily.

"Beautiful boys, you can get off work early today." Ricard's smile was so pleasant. He won a game immediately after the winning streak was over. This kind of thing really makes people happy.
