Outside, everyone is paying attention to the Trail Blazers' first defeat. This season, every move of Anjie and the team will become the focus of attention of all media and fans.

Even which store Anjie went to buy a pair of pants, it became popular news. The Trail Blazers finally experienced such a failure, and even occupied the front page headlines of newspapers on various websites.

"The undefeated golden body was finally broken, and the Trail Blazers stopped winning 26 consecutive victories."

"Kevin Love: Angel is not without its shortcomings."

"Failure is still great? Count the several historical records that the Trail Blazers have broken!"

Although he lost a game, as the newspaper said, the greatness of the Trail Blazers cannot be concealed. 26 wins and 1 loss, looking at the entire NBA history, no team can make such a start. Even the arrogant dynasty Bulls were not so outstanding.

This Trail Blazers team is very well matched from start to substitute, from substitute to coaching staff. In terms of personal abilities, Angel, Lillard, Aldridge and others are all All-Star players.

Although the Trail Blazers' focus on team play has not made them named "giants", if it comes down to true, the Trail Blazers will be a standard "big four" configuration.

Especially the tacit cooperation between Angel and Ricard, the two generals, has allowed many media to include them in the scope of the next legendary combination.

"One day, the combination of Angel and Ricard may be comparable to Phil Jackson and Jordan, Kobe, and even Popovich and Duncan!" Wu Hua even put forward such an assumption in his column. When Angel and Ricard were just two unknown guys at Iowa State University, Wu Hua had a deep contact with them.

He knew these two people, so he also believed that the glory of these two "monsters" would not stop.

In short, if it was surprising that the Trail Blazers finally won the championship last season, then the series of performances of the Trail Blazers this season have completely pushed the Trail Blazers to the altar.

But at this moment, Anjie and Ricard had no time to celebrate. Since Ricard's extremely abnormal cough last night, Anjie has been unable to let go.

Little did he know that after returning home, Ricard's cough became even worse. Ricard's wife had no choice but to ask Anjie for help.

※※※

The white walls, white ceilings, and even the floor tiles were dragged spotlessly by the cleaners.

Anjie is quite familiar with this kind of place. He doesn't know how many times he has been sent to this kind of place. Especially when he was in the Thunder, whenever Van Gundy found something wrong with Anjie, he immediately asked him to come to such a place for prosecutors.

The hospital is such a place where the environment is absolutely comfortable, but no one wants to come to live. Although Anjie's various injuries were cured through the treatment of the hospital, Anjie really has no good impression of this white environment.

An Jie was in the hospital again. If it were in normal times, it would definitely be big news. But this time, the person who was undergoing prosecution and treatment was no longer An Jie.

Ricard, who is usually worried about the players, has become the target of worrying about the players today.

Fans often pay more attention to players' injuries, because players are the center of NBA, and players' injuries also affect the team's record. Therefore, people are familiar with more than 30 injuries in Iverson, and are very worried about LeBron James's anti-inflammatory injection, and are also highly concerned about Anger's finger fracture last year. In fact, fans often ignore the coaching group. Although they do not break their hands and feet like players, the coaching profession is definitely a high-risk profession with huge risks.

The pressure the NBA coach is under is beyond imagination, and it can even be said to be no less than the player. The team's record requirements, whether the coaching style meets the boss's taste, and whether the relationship with the team's star players can cause the coach to be dismissed in minutes.

The NBA's head coach needs to work overtime to formulate tactics, do everything possible to improve the team's record, and even better with the relationship with the boss and star players. It can be said that he has lived a life of thin ice almost every moment. In fact, from 2008 to the present, only Popovich of the Spurs, Carlisle of the Mavericks and Spoelstra of the Heat can still sit firmly on the coaching position. Even legends like George Carl, Don Nelson and Jerry Sloan cannot continue to stick to this position.

Under the dual torture of heavy pressure and fatigue, the health of the NBA coach is naturally worrying. Whether it is Phil Jackson or Philips Sanders, these guys have more or less problems.

While comforting Ricard's wife and young daughter, Anjie was also anxiously waiting outside the doctor's office door.

Looking at the cold neighborhood outside the window, Anjie didn't want the Trail Blazers to cool down.

"Tsk!" The wooden door of the doctor's office was opened, and Ricard held his hands with the doctor with a smile. It seemed that there was no big problem.

"What do you think, doctor, what's wrong with my husband?" Ricard's wife took the lead in getting in.

"The results of the examination are very clear, chronic bronchitis. It is high in winter, it is prone to coughing and blood in the sputum." The doctor said the symptoms one by one, but unfortunately, Ricard all meets them.

"So what impact will this disease have on him?" Anjie finally realized the mood of Van Gundy and Ricard when he was injured.

"At present, he just coughs. But the damage caused by long-term coughing to his throat will definitely be quite serious. You should know that Coach Ricard is a hot coach. When I went to Moda Center to watch football, I could hear Mr. Ricard's yelling in the stands. His profession determines that his throat will definitely be more likely to be injured than others. Secondly, if chronic bronchitis is not well controlled, it will turn into emphysema. If the condition worsens further, I do not rule out the possibility of lung cancer."

"Cancer!" For some reason, George Carl and Philips Sanders, who were tortured by cancer, suddenly flashed in Angel's mind. It was precisely because of physical reasons that they had to leave their beloved team.

Angel does not want Ricard to leave. It is absolutely incomplete without Ricard's Trail Blazers!

"It's not that serious. Haven't you heard the doctor say that it's the worst situation? Don't worry, although I'm a bastard, I've always been favored by God." Ricard still smiled optimistically and just coughed, but he couldn't scare the "rogue" coach.

"Indeed, cancer is the worst case. If Mr. Ricard was actively treated, he would definitely not have reached that point. But we just talked but didn't seem to be a victory..." The doctor said, looking at Angel and Ricard's wife Peggy with a desire.

"The doctor wanted me to be hospitalized, of course, I refused." Ricard spread his hands indifferently.

"This will indeed delay you for two or three months, but believe me, I'm for your own good."

"It's not that I don't think about the doctor for my body, but I think you're making a big deal." The debate between Ricard and the doctor cycled again.

"I don't want to argue with you, Mr. Ricard. I think you have to discuss with your wife. I respect and be willing to implement your personal decision." After that, the angry doctor walked into the office.

"That's what this group of people in white coats is. Even if they have a small cold, they will recommend you to be hospitalized. I'm fine, and I promise I won't have any trouble in the future." Ricard's last words were obviously for Peggy and his youngest daughter Abigail.

"You know George, I support your career no matter what, but you have to be responsible for Abigail and me." Page did not persuade Ricard to be hospitalized as she imagined, because she also knew that the Trail Blazers now would become unstable if they lacked. Now, it is the moment for the Trail Blazers to take off. Even a little twists and turns, it is possible that the Trail Blazers missed the best.

Ricard did not answer his wife's question. He just grew his arms and the happy family of three hugged each other tightly.

An Jie looked at this warm picture with a smile. In the cruel NBA season, this is a rare experience.

Think about it, soon, An Jie himself will soon have a family of three...

"An." After hugging his family, Ricard turned to look at him.

"Um?"

"You are not allowed to be late for tomorrow's training."

An Jie deliberately stood up straight. "Yes!"

Success can never fall on you. Only by paying something equivalent can success complete the transaction with you.

To be the best in history, everyone on the Trail Blazers must make more sacrifices than their opponents.

Ricard had made his choice, and he chose to continue to fight for honor.

Anjie also made up his mind on the way home that he would not let Ricard regret his choice!
Chapter completed!
