I don’t know where the reporters got the news. As soon as I returned to Portland, the Trail Blazers players were full of reports about Aldridge’s injury.

"Heart problems explode, Lamarcus. Aldridge will be on the verge of indefinitely."

"A narrow murder in the court, Aldridge survived."

"The press conference will be held this afternoon. Please stay tuned for Aldridge's condition."

A line of scary words came into An Jie's eyes, but this time he really hoped that the newspapers were all scandals. Unfortunately, this time, they were reliable.

In today's training, Ricard's key task is to choose an inside player who can replace Aldridge. He uses J. J. Hickson and Leonard and Anger. Although both of them perform well, the team's tactical richness is still greatly reduced.

In the end, Ricard decided to use Hickson to play the fourth position, so Anjie would be much less pressure on the defensive end. Leonard had the advantages of height and range, but his performance was still not as stable as Hickson, who entered the league in the same year as Anjie.

In the afternoon, the Trail Blazers officially held a press conference in the media reception room as promised, and the main content was naturally to announce Aldridge's injury. When Ricard said that Aldridge had a heart problem, the reporters below were not surprised at all. It is not certain that they even learned the details earlier than Ricard and Angel himself yesterday.

"To be honest, this is quite scary. Fortunately, Aldridge's situation is not that bad now, and the doctors will test the results, and then we can formulate a plan for Lamarcus's comeback. So now, all we can do is to give him an indefinite off-season."

After the press conference, many programs discussed Aldridge's injuries. Because Aldridge's injury this time was not as simple as breaking a bone, it was the heart! Just like Mo Ning back then, this special injury would definitely cause a hot topic in the league.

"There is nothing to worry about. In fact, the heart is already an old problem that has troubled Aldridge. In April 2007, he received atrial fibrillation treatment, and he missed the remaining nine games of the season. In December 2010, he encountered the same problem again and was treated again. That time, just ten days later, Aldridge returned to the arena. Therefore, the indefinite quit was just an exaggerated word."

Some people are optimistic, and naturally some are pessimistic.

"Reggie   .     Lewis, Larry          The number one star of the Celtics after Bird, and the owner of the No. 35 jersey hanging over the Td North Shore Garden Arena. I don't want to repeat the honor of this guy. The point is that the hope of the rise of the Celtics was caused by heart disease in a normal training on July 27, 1993, and eventually died of heart load. Lewis's death allowed the Celtics to get out of the trough until the era of the Big Three. In order to avoid the reappearance of Lewis' tragedy, I think people should be responsible for Lamarcus's injury! After all, we don't want to see the next Reggie        Lewis' appearance!"

Discussions about Aldridge have become a hot topic in the past few days. People are not worried about the Trail Blazers, but are worried that another tragedy will appear on the basketball court. In any case, whether Ricard, Angel and Aldridge himself are willing or not, the decision to quit indefinitely is unshakable. What the Trail Blazers need to do now is to try their best to continue to make great strides without Aldridge.

On December 8, the Trail Blazers, who finally returned to their home court, met the old enemy King. Because Angel and Cousins ​​both ended their duel in a dramatic way last time, this game has always been talked about by people.

However, this time, the showdown was not as exciting as people imagined. Perhaps because he was too anxious to teach An Jie some lessons, the hot-headed Cousins ​​acted recklessly in the three-second zone where An Jie was guarding. He did score a few ornamental goals with this ruthlessness, but in the team's highest 17 shots, the few goals Cousins ​​hit was too trivial.

Facts have proved that Anjie's basket guarding is inviolable. Even Cousins, an inside player with both skills and physical fitness, can only score 35% of the shooting percentage under Anjie's defense. For an inside player, the shooting percentage is only 35% of the shooting percentage, which is definitely a disaster.

Although Angel restricted Cousins ​​miserably, the excited Kings also caused a lot of trouble to the rest of the Trail Blazers.

Due to Aldridge's absence, the Kings' inside line can fight Anjie unscrupulously. Therefore, Anjie also needs more support from his teammates on the offensive end. Therefore, more attack rights than before were allocated to others, but in the face of this sudden change, others seemed not ready.

Lillard is considered to be the most proud assistant around Angel after Aldridge's quit. But today, he took on the big responsibilities for the first time and scored the worst performance in history, with only 4 of 13 shots. On the Kings, except Cousins, everyone else has achieved good results with this excitement.

Except for Anjie, the other players of the Trail Blazers are not good. The overall shooting percentage is only 38% and it is very difficult to win with such a shooting percentage.

In the end, the Kings miraculously defeated the Trail Blazers 99-96 away. Although Cousins ​​completely fell, the Trail Blazers were no better than Cousins ​​except Angel.

Anjie scored 36 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, which can be said to have ruined his old rival Cousins ​​so much that he couldn't find North. However, except for Anjie's 36 points, the Trail Blazers only had Iguodala's 14 points, which was the second highest score in the team. It was natural to lose to the Kings who performed well.

Seeing that the Trail Blazers were about to complete ten consecutive victories, they now fell into trouble with the Kings. The Trail Blazers lost the first game Aldridge missed, which made the media and public opinion push Aldridge and the Trail Blazers to the sky.

"Lamarcus is the real center of the Trail Blazers!"

"The Top Ten Difficulties for the Trail Blazers After Lack of Aldridge!"

"The sprint is over! The Trail Blazers are about to face big trouble!"

On weekdays, the low-key Aldridge is always so inconspicuous. But after losing him, people realized the importance of Aldridge to this team.

Ricard has not yet perfected all the tactics of the team after Aldridge, and the players of the Trail Blazers are not used to this completely different way of playing. It can be said that except for Angel, Aldridge has the highest tactical status in this team. Without him, the Trail Blazers have to start over from scratch.

Aldridge called Ricard more than once and said that he had recovered completely. Of course, neither the team doctor nor Ricard would allow him to come back. If it is light, Aldridge would fall to the ground again at most. If it is heavy, it is a matter of life safety!

Just as the lineup was not in order, on December 1o, the Trail Blazers ushered in the Raptors' challenge at home.

In this game, Angel scored 3o points again, and the Trail Blazers also won. But it is obvious that the Trail Blazers were not skilled enough in implementing many new tactics in the game. The reason why the Raptors lost was simply because they were not strong. In addition to Demar. DeRozan's 24 points, the Raptors scored second was Spanish defender Jose. Calderon. However, Calderon's second highest score was only 12 points.

74 to 92, the Trail Blazers "slaughtered" the Raptors in the absence of Aldridge. But Ricard knew that the team's problems had not been completely resolved.

As expected, just two days later, the Trail Blazers lost to the Western Conference powerful Spurs with a complete lineup at home. Hickson's inaction on the offensive end made Angel severely restricted by Duncan and Split.

As a rookie, Lillard took the lead and scored 29 points, but with just one rookie, how can he compare with GDP?

98-9o, the Spurs achieved a regular season double-kill against the Trail Blazers. They are also the only team that has defeated the Trail Blazers twice in a row away.

Losing two games within seven days is an extremely abnormal performance for the Trail Blazers. Although the Trail Blazers' record of 18 wins and 4 losses is still impressive, Ricard knows that if there is no improvement, the Trail Blazers' failures will be "rather" upwards.

It seems that an important tactical hub is missing, and some things must be overturned and started over again.

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

After losing to the Spurs, the Trail Blazers got a rare two-day rest time. Ricard was now watching the players training on the court again. He decided to use these two days to find a new system for the Trail Blazers!

The biggest problem now is that An Jie, the star in the family, is always double-teamed by the opponent's desperate double-team defense. In this way, although An Jie can still get high scores based on his personal ability, the offensive fluency of the entire team has been greatly affected.

With the joining of Lillard and others this season, Anjie can finally devote himself to scoring on the offensive end. His average assists this season have decreased significantly because of the auxiliary work that others have done for him. All he has to do is receive the ball and then hit the box.

But now, Ricard has shown that after missing Aldridge, the support Anger received was greatly reduced. Without Aldridge's restraint, Anger will find it difficult to get turbulent. Lillard is not the kind of traditional point guard. When Anger is double-teamed, it is difficult for him to hand the ball to Anger.

What about Matthews? He is a three-point shooter. The passing of Iguodala and Batum is very terrifying, but one thing is that if you pass the ball, if you pass it well, it doesn’t mean the organization is good.

Without good restraint and organization, the Trail Blazers' smooth offense cannot return. Without smooth and efficient offense, the Trail Blazers will lose more goals.

The idea is clear. Now, Ricard needs someone who can pass the ball and organize the ball. He looked at Fischer. This guy is experienced and has excellent offensive ability. But it is still too risky to play such an old guy older than him. Double point guard? Forget it, that will only greatly reduce the offensive firepower of the Trail Blazers.

Who else? Ricard looked at Divac, and now Divac is also looking at him.

"You might be the same as I thought, right?" Divac laughed out loud.

"Although this will reduce Angel's threat and data in scoring, I think this is the only way." Ricard also guessed Divac's thoughts, because Anger's beautiful pass and organizational skills were learned from Divac!

Instead of letting Anjie passively wait for assistance, it is better to let him become the one who controls the ball and helps the team!

The high-level organization of the big center? I believe many people have almost forgotten this scene under Angel's bombardment of the basket this season.
Chapter completed!
