The Western Conference Finals officially started, and Anjie also successfully led the team to a good start. The Trail Blazers still maintained the record of unbeaten in the playoffs.

"The Blazers have won nine consecutive games in the playoffs, and the Blazers have come to this day with a momentum of crushing everything. I have never seen such a dominant team, and they don't seem to have an opponent. I hope the Spurs will continue to work hard and strive to break the myths in the Blazers."

"Another 3010, to be honest, this is already An's normal situation. I won't be surprised at all when he cuts gorgeous data. This guy is less than 25 years old, but he already has the strength to dominate the league. I can boldly predict that before An's age 32, he will turn this period into his own era!"

After winning the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the media naturally began to praise the current Trail Blazers again. This team that suddenly rose within two years has so much to say.

Of course, it's not just the media. Even many players who have already taken vacation have begun to pay attention to this series.

"Are you going to watch the game on site?" During the training break, An Jie shouted at his phone in surprise.

"Why? Isn't it welcome? I want to see with my own eyes how you kicked that old guy Duncan's ass!" Morris laughed at the other end of the phone. Anyway, the holiday has just begun, and he doesn't have a lot of training and business activities like Anjie every summer. So this guy decided to spend some time watching the remaining NBA games first, and cheer for his good buddies and mentors.

"I'm just not sure if you can still buy tickets now. As far as I know, the tickets for the competition tomorrow night will be snatched away long ago."

"Don't worry, Mr. Meslav has already helped me with everything. I will sit in the first row tomorrow. You kid have to perform well, otherwise I will put on the jersey for you at any time."

"Hehe, there's no need for me, we can do it ourselves. Do you have any plans this summer?" Anjie nodded and signaled that he would arrive soon after Ricard had begun to urge him to go on training.

"You also know, Ann, my contract has expired this year, and Presti also offered me a price. But... I haven't decided whether to stay in Oklahoma yet. This summer, I decided to think about my future carefully. Of course, there is another point, this holiday, I want to train with you!" Morris said, his eyes shining. Every summer, Anger's strength will improve a lot. Morris feels that he should train with Angie so that he can make as much progress as possible.

"Train with me? I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, man." Angel and Morris joked.

"Even if you let the horse come over, I can't watch you become stronger by yourself. Okay, go and train, we'll see you tomorrow night."

After hanging up the phone, An Jie immediately trotted to the venue. Now it is not the time to consider summer. Let's get the championship first and other things, let's talk about it later...

On May 21, Portland Rose Garden. Although there has been a fierce battle here, today, the enthusiasm of the fans and the atmosphere on the scene have not cooled down at all.

Andrew Morris walked into the audience in a suit. The area where he sat was usually surrounded by prominent figures. But even so, many people still put down their figure and asked Morris for autographs. Although he was not the core of the Thunder, Morris rarely performed on the offensive end. However, the tenacity of this optimistic big man still gave him a good reputation.

"Hey, Andrew!" Just after Morris took a photo with a rich lady, he heard Anjie's shout.

"Oh, see who is here. My big guy, how are you lately?" Angel and Morris hugged each other, and the photographers naturally formed a circle and captured all the pictures.

"Looks like I'm in good spirits Andrew, you'll have to shout louder later."

"Don't worry, I'm the sixth man off the court!" Morris made a "6" gesture at Angel. "Hey, keep winning, okay?"

"We will win, just like before, we will win..." Anjie closed his eyes and absorbed the encouragement that Morris gave him. He had slowly entered the game state and had begun to instill strength into his body.

"I don't want to repeat it anymore. I don't allow you to concede the ball at home! Then win, don't relax. In the Rose Garden, there is no failure!" Before the game, Ricard finished his last words at the players. Everyone shouted loudly and encouraged each other to walk onto the court.

The Trail Blazers are aggressive, and the fans are particularly excited when they see it. But on the surface, the Spurs, who look calm, really have no passion and fighting spirit?

"Let these arrogant guys pay the price!" The last sentence Popovich said before playing still echoed in the players' ears...

※※※

Fischer was panting and the speed and intensity of the game today were far beyond the first game, which made Fischer, a veteran, a little overwhelmed. If the first game was just intense, then today was a pure hand-to-hand fight.

As for speed, it is not that the Spurs beat the pace very quickly, but that they are always running and changing positions tirelessly, making the Trail Blazers' defense very difficult.

Fischer, who was exhausted, did not intend to continue controlling the ball. He glanced at the front. Although Anjie was sweating profusely, he had already withstood Duncan's push and was about to reach a good position.

Is there anything better option for the Trail Blazers than letting Anger play singles at a low post? So Fischer did not hesitate and straightened up and hanged the ball into the inside.

"Here!" Seeing that Fischer finally passed the ball, Leonard suddenly left Iguodala and ran towards Angel.

"Is he going to double-team?" Iguodala didn't expect Leonard to suddenly make such a decision. He was ready to catch the ball and could receive Anjie's pass and then take a three-pointer at any time!

However, Leonard, who was running wildly without hesitation, did not want to double-team Angel, but wanted to directly intercept the high lob in the middle!

"An! Come!" Ricard yelled on the sidelines. Anjie immediately looked around him, and then he found that Leonard had rushed to him.

The Spurs young player started to jump first and stretched out his long arms. An Jie was not willing to be outdone, but An Jie couldn't jump up at all when Duncan secretly pulled him.

Under the fierce confrontation, Anjie's fingertips still touched the basketball, but because he could not jump with all his might and was interfered by Leonard, he did not completely receive Fischer's high lob.

The flight trajectory of the basketball was changed, and it flew out of the boundary. Without thinking, An Jie immediately broke free from his entanglement with Duncan and rushed towards the basketball.

Angel and Leonard fell to the ground almost at the same time, but Angel, who was even longer, was the first to hug the basketball.

At the same time, Leonard immediately reached out to grab it. Anjie held the ball tightly, and the two of them started a fierce battle on the floor.

Tony Parker immediately joined the battle, while Fischer quickly came over to push the Frenchman away. Danny Green also joined the chaos, and Anjie was still holding the ball tightly. At this moment, the referee's whistle finally rang.

Anjie thought he had saved the ball because he had already called a timeout before Leonard's hands touched the basketball the moment he was snatching the ball.

However, what he said from the referee made An Jie suddenly furious.

"Derek Fischer infringes on someone and the Spurs have a ball!" When the referee made a penalty, everyone on the Trail Blazers' bench jumped up almost at the same time!

"I have called a timeout just now. You should stop the game in time, instead of giving our ball rights to the Spurs!" An Jie was the first to rush to the referee. His efforts just now were to keep the ball rights. For this reason, he didn't know who was hit by a few dark elbows. Now, the referee has directly wiped out An Jie's efforts.

If the referee was only the first time he favored the Spurs, then Anjie would not be so annoyed. But the problem is that the referee's whistle has turned to the Spurs more than once today.

In the previous game, the referee might have played the Blazers in the same move, but not the Spurs. With the fierce little moves, the referee might have seen the Blazers clearly, but not the Spurs clearly.

Now the game has reached the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, and the Trail Blazers are still behind the Spurs with 11 more free throws than themselves. It is precisely because of these factors that An Jie can't bear it anymore.

Anjie has a hot temper, and Ricard is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This guy rushed directly to the technical table and knocked on the table!

"I'll watch the replay with you here! If Ang hadn't made a timeout gesture just now, I would be willing to leave the court by myself!" The team is in trouble now, and the players are playing very hard. But Ricard couldn't believe the referee took away the opportunity of the Trail Blazers.

Through slow motion replay, the first thing we can confirm is that Fischer's action of pushing Parker away was indeed too big. But before Fischer fouled, Anger did hold the ball and shout to pause and make a gesture. It was only Leonard's sudden impact that Anger had to protect the basketball, thus interrupting the action.

So, the referee concluded that: "An requested the pause incomplete action, and I didn't understand his intention, so I couldn't stop the game rashly."

"Fuck you!" Ricard swung his arm and almost beat the referee in the face. Fortunately, Aldridge behind him immediately pulled him away, otherwise the technical stage would have become a chaotic battlefield now.

"Your explanation is very ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!" An Jie was still complaining around the referee. The referee ignored An Jie and made a technical foul gesture at Ricard.

"Oh! The referee gave a technical foul. We don't know if he was for Angel or Ricard!"

"It's really confusing, but through the playback, An should indeed get a pause."

"Coach Zhang, I think this ball is very unfair. The ball rights should belong to the Trail Blazers!"

The commentators from various TV stations also had a heated discussion on this matter.

"You idiot! Who do you think you are? Give me a technical foul? I'm just teaching you the most basic basketball rules!" Ricard still wanted to run to the referee under the blocking and pulling of the three players. Maybe the referee also knew that he was a little inappropriate, otherwise he would definitely give Ricard a second technical foul without hesitation.

Just when the Trail Blazers were having a fuss with the referee, Popovich seized the time to ask the players to come over one by one to explain the precautions. Invisibly, the Spurs got an additional timeout opportunity.

A few minutes later, the chaos finally subsided. The players took a defensive posture in dissatisfaction, and Ricard was still swearing on the bench. Morris organized the fans to boo in the stands and put pressure on the referee and the Spurs.

The Trail Blazers, whose mentality was greatly affected, seemed very impatient in the last few minutes, and the Spurs seized the opportunity and took advantage of the Trail Blazers' mistakes to make several conversions.

The score difference is gradually widening. Although it has never been able to exceed the double-digit threshold, the Spurs are still the ones who control the rhythm on the field.

Anjie once again showed his terrifying strength in the last few minutes. This guy's crazy attack made Popovich tachycardia at one point.

Fortunately, time saved the Spurs' life. An Jie used his terrifying personal ability to catch the score difference to only four points, but the final score was frozen in the four points gap. God knows what the ending would be like if the game time was one more minute, no, forty seconds.

108 to 104, with 12 more free throws than the Trail Blazers, the Spurs defeated the angry Trail Blazers away by four points. They also broke the Trail Blazers' unbeaten record in the playoffs.

"You've done a good job, it's okay, see you outside the court later." Morris and Angel slapped his palms, and he also tried hard to encourage his brother.

When the referee made the penalty just now, if Morris hadn't been wearing a suit, he might have rushed up and shouted at the referee.

After the game, Angel only interacted with Morris. He refused all media interviews and went straight into the player channel.

1-1, the total score of the Western Conference Finals was rewritten by the Spurs, and the Rose Garden, which was invincible, also fell for the first time in the playoffs.

No matter how frustrating or unfair the process is, the result will not change.
Chapter completed!
