"Try harder, Morris, try harder!" In the locker room after the game, Ricard and Angel were the last two people who had not left.

Although not long ago, Angel and the Trail Blazers had eliminated the Grizzlies with a total score of 4-0 and booked a seat in the Western Conference Finals. But now, Angel and Ricard cannot feel at ease. Because the game being played on another piece of land will directly determine who will become the opponent of the Trail Blazers in the next round.

On the TV screen, Angel and Ricard's old acquaintance Andrew Morris are confronting Tim Duncan. Now every offense and defense is very important to the Thunder. They must seize all the opportunities they can get, because after losing this game, the Thunder will have no chance of the next game.

Duncan pushed forward with expressionless back. A guy as strong as Morris seemed very difficult to resist Duncan.

Although Duncan is old and his playing style is relatively "gentle". In fact, the power contained in this big old boy who originally came from the Virgin Islands was very huge.

Duncan made a little progress and turned around and threw the box.

Duncan's throwing action was not good-looking, and it could even be said to be very awkward. Morris also jumped hard, but the basketball still crossed Morris' fingertips.

Everyone focused their attention on the basketball, which was unbiased and just fell into the net. Many of Duncan's attacks may be incredible, but you have to believe that this guy will not do anything randomly.

"How could there be such a guy in this world!"

"Oh my God, Morris has done well enough!"

"Don't Duncan never get older!"

The fans of Chesapeake Energy Arena were very disappointed. After Duncan scored that goal, the game time was only 2 minutes and 13 seconds left. If the Thunder wanted to win the game, they had to catch up with the 13-point gap at least.

If Westbrook is there, it is entirely possible to chase 13 points in 2 minutes. Unfortunately, the Thunder's offense can only be carried by Durant.

"Do you think you are confident of winning over him?" Ricard couldn't help but pursed his lips when he saw the scene just now. How much Morris is, Ricard knew very well. After all, this guy had played under his command for two years, and Ricard watched Morris climb up step by step.

Although Morris's skills are a little rough, his offense can only rely on his body. But this guy's defense, even in the NBA, is first-class. But Duncan just now still scored easily when facing Morris. That guy was still expressionless and his goal style was ordinary. But this is exactly what Duncan is terrible.

"Who do you mean, Morris?" Anjie still hoped that the Thunder could advance.

"Don't admit it, Ann Thunder is gone. One of the hardest things in the world is to turn the tables in the Spurs-led game. Those guys rarely make mistakes. If they don't make mistakes, their opponents don't have the chance to catch up with the score quickly. What I'm talking about is, do you have the confidence to get Duncan." Ricard said bluntly.

"When I get to the basketball court, I don't care how big the opponent is." Anjie stared at the TV screen, and he was still looking forward to a miracle. But Durant, who was exhausted, fell down in overwhelmed the last minute before the game ended.

Seeing that the scoring efficiency of the Thunder star's star dropped sharply, the Spurs seized the opportunity, turned around and launched a fierce attack on the Thunder.

"Oh, no no no no no..." Anjie, like the fans of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, held his head with his hands in disappointment, waiting for the last five seconds of the game to pass by.

Durant lifted the jersey and covered it on his face. Morris squatted down on the spot, lowered his head, which was very different from the image of the evil man in the past. Jeff Van Gundy calmly put his waist on his waist. Perhaps the head coach's job, which was under great pressure, is no longer suitable for him...

"There is a loss, there is a win, An. Think carefully about your next opponent, you don't want to become what Morris is now." After the game, Parker threw the ball into the sky. The Thunder players wearing white jerseys fell to the ground one by one. Ricard patted Anger on the shoulder, and the San Antonio Spurs were about to point the gun at the Trail Blazers next!

"Oh, God, again?" Morris hit the floor hard, and the Thunder made it to the playoffs with ambitions every time. But every time, they fell at the most important node.

Durant had no expression on his face. After being defeated by the Heat last year, Westbrook came up to himself and said, "We will come and win the championship next year." But now? Westbrook can only recuperate in the hospital. First, Angel's departure, and then Westbrook's injury. Durant really doesn't know whether God deliberately made him destiny like this.

Jeff Van Gundy looked at his lost players and felt very distressed. But he couldn't encourage them to say that they would come back again in the year, because Van Gundy no longer planned to experience the next next year.

At the end of this season, the contract signed by Van Gundy with the Thunder officially expired. Presti had already requested a renewal with Van Gundy, but Van Gundy refused one by one. Perhaps the championship is destined to be Jeff. Van Gundy's regret in this life.

After watching the game, Anjie felt a lot. The Thunder failed again. They scored 60 wins this season after the Trail Blazers, ranking second in the West. But in the end, their old club still failed.

The Oklahoma City Thunder still failed to break through their fate, but Anjie did not intend to sit back and wait for death.

An Jie must defeat his opponent that the Thunder team failed to defeat!

Throwing all the worries aside, Anjie stood up and left the locker room. Now he has no time to feel sad about the fate of the Thunder. His most important task is to maintain his strong momentum. Are Popovich and GDP? No matter how strong you are, I will perform better!

Since the opponent in the Western Conference Finals has been finalized, then it is time to prepare and give the opponent a big gift...

※※※

"The situation in the West is clear! The Trail Blazers meet with the Spurs at the top of the West!"

"Magic Johnson: This will be a big battle."

"Drexler: No matter who the opponent is, Angel will do everything."

When the Trail Blazers and the Spurs both advanced, the Eastern Conference semi-finals competition seemed to have been left behind.

The Spurs have played very well in both the regular season and the playoffs this season. Although the Thunder lost so quickly because of Westbrook's absence. But people know in their hearts that even if Westbrook is in the team, the result of the game is hard to say.

While keeping the core unchanged, the Spurs greatly strengthened their lineup. This made the Spurs a favorite to win the championship once again, and also allowed the Trail Blazers to meet the strongest opponent in the playoffs.

Now the basketball circles around the world are discussing the Western Conference Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs. As the general manager of the Trail Blazers, Nell Orsey should also focus on the game. But the two people who suddenly appeared in his office today made Orsey unable to concentrate.

"Is this true?" Nell Orsey grew up and questioned the two NBA officials sitting opposite him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Olsey, we won't joke about this kind of thing. Congratulations, your players have performed really well this season and they deserve such honor!" The two officials stood up and shook hands with Nell Orsey. The Trail Blazers had already had a Best Coach. But compared to Best Coach, Olsey would definitely be ecstatic about what they brought today.

After all, in the history of the Trail Blazers, only one person enjoyed such honors. Even Drexler has not accomplished such a feat on the Trail Blazers.

"Oh, sorry gentlemen, let me calm down first. After all, you know, this is definitely a big event in the history of the Trail Blazers!" Orsey calmed down his excitement and looked at the things brought by two other NBA officials.

"After training this afternoon, we will hold a press conference!" Orsey immediately suggested.

"This is also our purpose in Portland. Mr. Orsey, and you can prepare quickly. By the way, Mr. David Stern will come here later, so don't worry."

"Mr. Stern is coming here in person?" Orsey's emotions that finally calmed down broke out again.

"After all, such honors must be given to the players by the league president himself." The two officials nodded affirmatively. Portland this afternoon will probably be very lively.

Orsey immediately called Ricard, who was preparing for the battle. Ricard did not dare to slacken because he knew that if there was no important matter at this critical moment, Orsey would not disturb him.

"George, after the training today, leave Damien and An. I want to hold a press conference for their two moves!" Orsey spoke very quickly and seemed impatient.

"Is there any purpose? Today is not a media open day." Ricard didn't understand what Orsey wanted to do with the two indispensable people in this team. If it was just to deal with the reporter, it would be enough to call Meyers, Leonard and Batum. After all, these two substitutes also have high popularity in Portland.

"You will know when you come, George. And, ask these two guys to wear suits and tie. All the scenes taken by the reporters today will be recorded in history!"

"Oh!?" Ricard glanced at Lillard and Angel who were training. "Will it not!?"
