Chapter 624: Perfect Mindset
"The iron-blooded fierce general can't resist the temptation of his beautiful wife. An Jie did not hesitate to cross the east and west parts overnight to see his model wife."
"Anger appeared at Kennedy International Airport, and the newlyweds couldn't stand it? "
"Anjie ran around overnight just to see his wife, and took a look at the top ten NBA stars who are enviable in love."
When Anjie finally returned to Portland, he realized that this time he not only became the front page headline of ordinary newspapers because of his decisive victory, but also became the target of many gossip magazines.
If it were in the past, An Jie would definitely be very angry when he saw that he was targeted by a gossip magazine. But today, An Jie just smiled at all the news. This seven-foot-long man was in such a good mood, so good that even these gossip news could not affect An Jie's mood.
"I just said why you were so anxious that night. It turned out that I went to find Catherine." During the team's regular training in the afternoon, Anjie's teammates also joked about this matter.
An Jie did not refute this, but just giggled.
Not only that, Ricard discovered that as soon as Anjie was free, he would giggle involuntarily.
"Is this kid so stupid when he was hit in the head in New York?" Ricard couldn't help but worry. Although the Trail Blazers have achieved a 16-game winning streak, Anjie's reaction is too abnormal.
Fortunately, at least Anjie's performance in the training ground is still excellent. As long as it does not affect the competitive state, Anjie will not be questioned no matter how stupid Anjie smiles.
But people are very curious, especially when they see such a honest smile on the face of "ruthless character" like An Jie, his teammates will still ask: "An, what's wrong with you? Let's not be so happy to see a wife."
"I...hehehe." An Jie said a word and continued to laugh on his own.
"Everyone, I want to be a father too!" After laughing, An Jie stood up and announced the news in front of all the teammates and coaches in the locker room.
In fact, when Anjie just learned that Catherine was pregnant with her own child, he was not happy. Anxiety and nervousness occupied Anjie's mind instead. However, after thinking on the plane for several hours, Anjie's mood became more and more relaxed and he felt happier.
Naturally, the locker room was in a mess. Now, all the Trail Blazers went crazy with An Jie.
"I said, how could this kid be so abnormal?" Ricard did not respond so fiercely, but he was also happy for Anjie from the bottom of his heart.
The big boy who shocked him on the street court then was going to be a father in a blink of an eye... Time flies so fast.
From being so thin that he could not effectively fight in NCAA, to being able to resist a beast like Howard and Cousins. From being so shy that he would blush when he saw Catherine, to now he was about to have a complete family of his own. Ricard can be said to have watched Anger become mature step by step, so Ricard also has a lot of feelings about this matter.
In the evening, when Anjie was practicing alone, Ricard also sat on the sidelines and chatted with Anjie a lot.
The two men filled this originally boring training ground with laughter, and everyone else was also relaxed in this tense season because of An Jie's affairs.
After two days of rest, the Trail Blazers in good condition both physically and mentally began their December journey.
Early in the morning of December 1, the Trail Blazers led by Angel flew to Los Angeles. Today, they will challenge the Lakers, the declining nobleman, on the away game.
Previously, the Lakers' record was 9 wins and 8 losses. This result was actually not bad, but when this result was placed on a team like the Los Angeles Lakers, it seemed a bit too bad.
You know, since Kobe led the team alone for the first time in 2004-05, the Lakers have not achieved such a frustrating record.
The star-studded Los Angeles Lakers are now not in charge. Paul Gasol? This guy has gradually lost his edge after experiencing the failure of last season. The Lakers are more relying on the performance of role players to win games.
This method may allow the Lakers to win some games by chance, but if they want to defeat the defending champion, this method will not work.
Lakers fans at Staples Center laughed loudly, even though the team was in trouble, these guys were still very arrogant.
Perhaps Kobe's years in Los Angeles have really made Lakers fans too confident. They seem to have not realized that the current Lakers team is very different from before.
This former powerful team was struggling for their final glory, but unfortunately, Paul Gasol, the now head of the Lakers, has become Anjie's first deceased soul.
3 of 15 was the end of Gasol being pushed to the No. 5 position to confront Anjie.
As early as a few years ago, Gasol could no longer compete with Angel. At that time, if it weren't for Kobe, the Lakers might have been eliminated.
Now, Gasol's condition has declined, while Anjie is constantly improving.
The fact that Gasol didn't want to admit but did happen was that the gap between him and Anjie was getting bigger and bigger.
Just when the Lakers were in danger, Xavier Henry, the formerly unknown defender, stood up.
This season, the Lakers won with these guys. When Henry made consecutive shots and narrowed the gap, Lakers fans even felt that they could complete the turnaround in this game!
Unfortunately, the idea of victory can only be the fantasy of Lakers fans.
Xavier Henry's performance is indeed great, but no matter how good he is, he is just a role player.
In the last few minutes, the Trail Blazers started the five tigers and collectively made a move, killing the Lakers' last defense.
114 to 108, the Trail Blazers won the game without any danger at the Staples Center. Lakers fans should be glad that they lost less than ten, which is not ashamed of being disgraced.
Yody Meeks scored 20 points, Steve Blake scored 13 points, Xavier Henry scored 27 points, and Nick Young scored 17 points. It is precisely because of the explosive performances of these guys that the Lakers can push the score so tightly.
However, Angel's 27 points and 12 rebounds, Aldridge and Lillard's 26 points, Iguodala's 17 points and Matthews' 12 points, only truly interpret what an excellent team is.
The victory over the Lakers not only set a good start for the Trail Blazers' journey in the new January, but also allowed the Trail Blazers' winning streak to continue.
Of course, the high morale of the Trail Blazers and the pleasant and relaxed mood of Anjie will continue to make them perform better in the next game.
Anjie was swept out of the playoffs by the powerful Lakers, but now, the Zijin Lakers can only be easily harvested by Anjie.
After thirty years, Hebei and thirty years, An Jie didn't know if he would be so down in a few years. But at least at the moment, he had to hold on.
The Trail Blazers, who had just won the victory, boarded the plane and returned to Portland again. At the beginning of December, the Trail Blazers would play a back-to-back game.
After returning to Portland, Angel and his Trail Blazers will also usher in a stronger opponent than the down-and-out Lakers.
Last year, Paul George, who forced the Heat Big Three into a desperate situation in the Eastern Conference Finals, and every time he saw Angel, he was destined to go crazy!
