The Way of the Center - Chapter 807
When Anjie came to the door of Lillard’s house, he could hear the singing from the courtyard of Lillard’s house through the big iron gate.
This guy is really a rapper who was delayed by playing basketball, and this guy’s love for rap music does not seem to be less than basketball.
It seems that Lillard is very lively now. Anjie smiled and shook his head, and rang the doorbell of Lillard’s door.
However, the noisy singing in the yard completely drowned out the sound of the doorbell. An Jie waited a long time after setting the doorbell, but Lillard still did not come out to answer the door.
So An Jie took a deep breath and yelled out of his throat. “Smelly boy, open the door!”
When An Jie shouted so, the sound of music in the yard disappeared. Lillard turned off the stereo and walked to the gate to take a look. It was indeed An Jie, and he laughed happily.
“Hey, my buddy, I didn’t expect you to come so early.” An Jie had said that he would come to see Lillard today, but Lillard thought that An Jie would come tonight.
“You **** play music in the yard early in the morning, don’t your neighbors come to trouble you?” An Jie said, putting his hand on Lillard’s shoulder.
“Yesterday, the old Charles who lives next to me said that I will play this kind of music early in the morning. Please tell me to speak it louder, otherwise he can’t hear it clearly.” Lillard laughed and limped with Anjie. Into the yard.
“How are the feet?” An Jie asked with concern when seeing Lillard still wearing a big protective gear around his ankle. After all, Angel came to Lillard for the main purpose of the family today, which is to understand his injury.
“I have started to do recovery training, but it’s a pity that I can’t keep up with the playoffs…” Lillard looked at his exaggerated protective gear, and squashed his mouth helplessly.
“Don’t worry, raise it well. Our goal is to win three consecutive championships. In the future, there will be opportunities to play in the playoffs.” An Jie picked up a glass of juice at random and drank it together, feeling like he was at home. Anjie’s good personal relationship with Lillard really allows him to do whatever he wants in Lillard’s home without restraint.
“I know I know, you see, am I not hurrying to enjoy life? My second rap album will soon be completed, and then you have to help me promote it in China!” Lillard grinned Looking at An Jie, I have to say that Lillard is much stronger than An Jie back then.
When Anjie was reimbursed for the season, he almost lost confidence in life. But look at Lillard, this guy is still in the mood to make his own album. And Lillard’s smile hasn’t disappeared since An entered the door.
This kind of optimistic character is really something An Jie will never learn.
“Don’t worry, I will not only promote the album for you, but I will also bring you a championship ring. You will wait at home and wait for me to bring the championship ring to you. I want you to release the album. When I was wearing four championship rings on my hand, it must be cool!”
“You know me, brother. Come on and help me win a championship!” When the word “champion” was spoken, Lillard with a hippie smile suddenly became serious.
He stretched out a fist in front of An Jie, and An Jie understood Lillard’s fist.
These two guys looked at each other and smiled, fighting side by side for so many years, this is the first time they can’t play together in the playoffs…

After seeing Lillard in the morning, Angel immediately entered into a fighting state. During the afternoon training, Anjie was extremely excited. This made Ricard very happy, but it made Divac a little hesitant.
An Jie has had problems with his meniscus. If you look at the people with meniscus problems in the league now, it may be that An Jie can insist on not being injured for several consecutive seasons.
Roy, the genius of the Trail Blazers, has become a high school basketball coach because of a meniscus problem. And Wade, who had problems with his meniscus in college, can now only assist James in the form of a veteran’s basic salary.
Divac worried that if Anjie’s injury suddenly broke out in the playoffs, the Trail Blazers would be wiped out.
The Trail Blazers have lost Lillard, and they can’t lose anyone, especially leaders like Anjie.
Divac’s worries are not groundless. An Jie is 28 years old. The recovery ability and physical strength of a 28-year-old person cannot be compared with those at the age of 24 or 25. What’s more, An Jie is still playing the position of center. The pressure and impact on his knees are several times that of outside players.
While getting older, Anjie did not relax his training. This wear on his knees is destined to be very huge.
“What do you want? Vlad.” Seeing Divac seemed a little absent, Ricard stabbed the NBA star who had assisted him for many years with his elbow.
“Nothing, just a little worried. This year’s Western Conference playoffs seems a bit too messy.” Divac broke the topic.
“Indeed, this year the West is a bit perverted. The Thunder with Westbrook and Anthony, the Timberwolves with Wiggins, Jimmy and Downs. Of course, there are also the Spurs, Warriors and Rockets… www.mtlnovel.com~Every round of competition is a challenge for us.” As soon as this question was mentioned, Ricard frowned.
The strength of the West this year can be said to be unprecedented. Every team has the possibility of breaking out of the siege, and every team has multiple superstars.
The Trail Blazers’ luck is not so good. If they can run into the relatively immature Timberwolves, they may not have played too hard in the first round. But the Blazers opponent in the first round was the Houston Rockets, who dropped to eighth in the Western Conference by accident!
The Rockets experienced injuries to Paul and other major players at the end of the regular season, and Harden was alone, so the Rockets’ results would quickly fall.
However, before the start of the playoffs, the full comeback of Paul and others marked the Rockets’ “fuel” once again.
If it weren’t for injuries, the Rockets would at least be among the top five teams in the Western Conference. So the unlucky Trail Blazers will run into a strong opponent in the first round of the playoffs.
Harden is now an MVP-level shooting guard, and Paul’s ability is as strong as ever.
The backcourt composed of these two top guards has proven itself in the regular season. The challenges Anjie and the others need to face will be enormous.
It’s no wonder that An Jie is working so **** the training ground now. As a leader, he works hard, and other people have no excuses for being lazy.
In the morning, he told Lillard that he wanted to win the championship, and Anjie didn’t want the team to fall into the sand in the first round of the game.
The challenge of the playoffs has gradually approached, and it is another year to compete for the championship. An Jie will not relax at all.
The hard fight started from the first round immediately!
After Anjie and the Trail Blazers have been depressed for two years, can they break the siege in the West without Lillard? All answers will be announced soon!
