"George Ricard officially returns, and the Trail Blazers strive for 72 wins!"

"The record of the dynasty bulls will be tied, may the Anjie Dynasty have arrived?"

"Divac: I enjoyed coaching the team, and Ricard's return means a lot to us."

When the media opening hours came and reporters flocked to the training hall and saw Ricard standing on the sidelines, they all screamed excitedly.

The reporters wished Ricard's health to get better and better. Of course, Ricard's news can always make their reports read several times. This guy is in good health, and the more news the reporters can dig.

In the era of paper media, the news of Ricard's comeback may not be published until the next day. However, in the era of Internet, less than half an hour after reporters left the Moda Center, the news of Ricard's comeback was already known to everyone.

This time, the Trail Blazers did not hold any press conference to announce Ricard's return. In fact, Nellsey wanted to hold one, but Ricard felt that holding a press conference at such a critical moment was just a waste of time.

He would rather use that time to take the players to play tactics than face the boring group of media.

It is precisely for this reason that fans are not sure whether Ricard will return to the court in the next game. Ricard may just be involved in training, but this does not mean that he can definitely return to the game scene that is enough to crush people.

Ricard left room for imagination for reporters, and the reporters created suspense for fans. So on April 11, the Trail Blazers went to challenge the Jazz away, and the ratings were surprisingly high.

Curiosity, this is something that everyone will have. Will Calder appear? If he appears, what will the Trail Blazers look like? These have inspired fans from all over the world to turn on the TV and pay attention to this game with huge strength.

※※※

Anjie was wrapping bandages on his knees and fingers that he had been injured, while Aldridge was talking to his mother. Iguodala, this guy was still closed his eyes and resting as before. As for that boy Lillard, he was jumping and very excited.

Ricard looked at everything in front of him, and the familiar scene was still there, nothing changed. He left the field for two months. Ricard was still worried whether he would suddenly not get used to life in the locker room.

However, he was too concerned about it himself. The locker room is now like Ricard's home. When he is in the suitability of the locker room, he is the most comfortable.

Ricard let out a big sigh and clapped his hands. Suddenly, everyone's attention fell on him.

If it were someone else who was staring at by a group of NBA stars, he would probably have been trembling and unable to speak. But Ricard had never been nervous about this since he first coached the NBA.

"Guys, this game may be the relatively easy game of our remaining three games. The Jazz are currently ranked last in the West. They have lost all their hopes of advancing to the playoffs, so they may not fight fiercely on the court. But we can't play with the Jazz like this. I need you to show all your strength as soon as you get on the court and end the game early to avoid future troubles!" Ricard waved his arm toughly, and everyone knew what to do.

"Come on guys, this is just a warm-up! Let's walk out of the Energy Solution Arena with beautiful victory!" Ricard spoke, and according to "convention", it was Anjie who stood up and shouted.

"Victory!" Others in the locker room echoed Angel and shouted. Ricard pushed open the locker room door, and the group of hungry wolves came out in a row. Although it was on the away game, almost all reporters in the player passage pointed the camera at the Trail Blazers players. It seemed that almost everyone did not think that the Jazz had the ability to move to this powerful defending champion.

After the game started, seeing Ricard standing on the sidelines, many Trail Blazers fans watching the game in front of the TV shouted excitedly. This guy who was full of swearing finally came back two months later.

And the situation of the game, as Ricard and others expected, was not as powerful as fighting back at all.

The Jazz players played quite loosely because they won one more game or lost one more game now, which would not change the fact that the season had already failed.

Faced with such a relaxed Jazz, the defending champion took a more serious attitude.

Anjie kept shouting on the court, urging his teammates not to worry and stabilize the rhythm. If the Trail Blazers missed 72 wins because of losing to the Jazz, the last in the West, it would definitely become the biggest laughing stock in history.

So the Trail Blazers played cautiously and seriously, and completely showed a different attitude from the Jazz.

The gap between the strength of the two sides is already big enough. Now the Trail Blazers still have a better mentality, so they naturally firmly control the progress of the game.

In the fourth quarter, Jazz starting power forward Derek Fevers symbolically resisted for a while. However, his resistance did not last long and was completely suppressed by Aldridge, who was reappearing.

At this time, there were already blockbuster gaps in the stands of the Energy Plan Stadium. Fans all planned to express their dissatisfaction with the team's performance by leaving the field early.

The Jazz, who have given up from players to fans, made the game enter garbage time early. An Jie and the starters got quite enough rest, and I believe they will play more easily in the next game.

111 to 89, the Trail Blazers easily won the Jazz away game. 70 wins and 10 losses. The Trail Blazers only have two games left to tie the Bulls, and there are only two games before the end of the regular season!

"An! If the Trail Blazers fall in the last two games, you will definitely leave a lot of regrets this season!" After the game, the reporters also surrounded An Jie and were in a mess.

"Repent? No, no, we will definitely win 72 wins!" An Jie's decisive answer made several reporters stunned.

It’s not how far the Trail Blazers are from 72 wins now, but the reporters know that the last two games in the next few days will not be easy for the Trail Blazers...

After defeating the Jazz, the Trail Blazers will play their second-last game of the regular season this season at Moda Center. Their opponent today is no longer the Jazz's average person.

The Los Angeles Clippers ranked fourth in the West, a team with star players such as Paul and Griffin, and have a very good relationship with the Trail Blazers.

The shadow of being swept by the Trail Blazers in the playoffs last year has always made the Clippers treat the Trail Blazers as mortal hostility.

Chris Paul also knows that now that the playoffs are only five days away, it may be a good training opportunity to fight with the Trail Blazers seriously.

Therefore, the Clippers attacked very fiercely from the beginning, and even had the momentum of wanting to take the lead.

Especially Paul, this guy really wants to prove that he is also one of the superstars, but he has never been able to stand on the stage of the Western Conference Finals for various reasons.

Paul doesn't want to live his life with this title in his life as a superstar who has never even played in the division finals.

Looking at the current western region, Anjie and the Trail Blazers are undoubtedly Paul's biggest threat.

In the first half of the game, the Clippers took the initiative. In addition to the starting five Tigers, the Clippers' sixth man, Jamal Crawford, who was once the sixth man of the Trail Blazers, played very happily at the Moda Center.

On one thing, Crawford and Anger have the same ideas. The more respected the opponent, the more they have to use all their strength to defeat him!

Today, Crawford's fake moves after the breakthrough made Anjie suffer a lot, and people even exclaimed that the Clippers may make their way out of the West this year!

However, as soon as the fourth section arrives, everything changes.

Angel, Aldridge and Lillard, these three guys began to take turns scoring.

Because Angel's aura is too big, people often ignore other players of the Trail Blazers. But today, the Trail Blazers sounded a wake-up call to everyone. They are also an absolute Big Three lineup!

Jamal Crawford was okay to disrupt the battle, but when Angel completely suppressed the rhythm in the fourth quarter, Crawford could not perform.

Later, Paul and Griffin planned to take over the game. Unfortunately, they had already taken the lead and did not leave any chance for the arch-rivals Clippers.

Anjie scored six points in a row at the last moment and blocked Griffin's all-relay performance, allowing the Trail Blazers to set the victory.

104 to 110, it was precisely because of the six points in An Jie's last moment that the result of the game became like this.

After the game, Chris Paul shaking his head with his waist and walked into the player channel directly. He did not say hello to anyone from the Trail Blazers, nor did he pay attention to the media's questions.

Perhaps, this is what a person shows after being disappointed.

After winning the game, the fans of the entire Moda Center stood up neatly and shouted.

"72 wins! 72 wins! 72 wins! 72 wins!"

Everyone replicated the word neatly and regularly, and some fans even raised big signs with the words "72".

Defeating the Clippers means that the Trail Blazers' record has become 71 wins and 10 losses, and now there is one last game left before the Trail Blazers' 82 regular season games ends!

With only one game left, the Trail Blazers will reach the peak occupied by the Bulls that year. Compared with the scenery there, it will definitely be very beautiful.

"It's only one game away, boss." Anger walked to Ricard, the seemingly impossible record was now placed in front of the Trail Blazers, waiting for them to pick it.

"Yes, it's only one game away. That game is not fucking simple." Ricard's expression was not easy, even though his team had just defeated the fourth-place Clippers in the West.

An Jie also agreed with this. The experience of being defeated by this opponent was still lingering in An Jie's mind.

April 16, 2014 is the day when the NBA regular season finale will start in the 13-14 season. On that day, there is a big event that will be recorded in history by the league.

But now, there is a team that has the ability to prevent greatness from happening.

This is why Ricard was not excited about the victory of this game. The opponent they met in the final battle was an opponent that he was very afraid of.

The Golden State Warriors, the team that ranked sixth in the Western Conference and made a big splash this season, is the team that Ricard was most worried about in these three games.

Although the Warriors' ranking this season is not amazing, Ricard can see that the strength of this team has exceeded people's imagination!
