The Way of the Center

The morning in Los Angeles is always accompanied by dazzling sunlight. There is no such thing as gentleness in the hot California sun.

Many people were pierced by the sun with their dim eyes opened, ready to start their journey for a new day. But at this moment, there is a man in Staples who is already sweating profusely.

Dwight Howard may be the first time to get up so early to train himself. This is the first time that this unstoppable Warcraft inside has felt such a great pressure. Even when he played in the Finals with the Lakers, he had never been so nervous.

Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon and was reimbursed for the season. The team is not doing well recently, losing their last regular season, and being overtaken by the Warriors, becoming the eighth in the Western Conference.

If it's just a loss in the last game of the regular season, it's not a big deal. The problem is that after falling to eighth in the West, the Lakers must play the first round with the No. 1 team in the West. The No. 1 team in the Western Conference is the Portland Trail Blazers that no one wants to run into.

Howard must meet An Jie early, he doesn't want to be beaten by An Jie like a child. So today, Howard had the idea of ​​getting up early and practicing.

Although Howard was not happy this season when he came to the Lakers, his relationship with Kobe was also very stiff. But to say what he learned from Kobe is hard work.

Howard came to the training ground more than once this season and saw Kobe sweating through his training. Apart from anything else, Howard still appreciates Kobe's spirit.

But Howard knew in his heart that his current training was more of a self-comfort. If you want to pass a few days of training, the more Anjie, that is impossible. The Lakers, with their luxurious F4 lineup, are also likely to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

But Howard was still unwilling to succumb to fate. In any case, he decided to fight. Even if he wants to lose, he wants to lose like a fighter, like a man.

"Congratulations to the Blazers and Ann. They have become the team with the best regular season results this season. No one. Even the defending champions of last year's Heat Big Three did not perform well." As usual, in the regular season. In the blank two days from the game to the playoffs, all major TV stations will have to do a program to warm up for the upcoming playoffs, and also make predictions and comments on various upcoming situations.

"This group of guys are really good, especially Ann. He can score almost 28 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks this season. Among them, the average blocks and rebounds per game are the league's first. The scoring is second only to Cameron. Anthony, ranked second in the league. Of course, if Ann plays like Cameron, his scoring average may not exceed 3o. In the final period of the mVp rankings, Ann still dominates LeBron. Ranked first. It can be said that the Trail Blazers and Ann entered the playoffs with a shining aura. I believe that they will not be overshadowed in the playoffs." O'Neal’s comment on the Trail Blazers, Naturally all fell on An Jie.

"The Blazers' opponent in the first round will be the Los Angeles Lakers, who had a lot of scenery before the start of the season, but are now very bleak. Because of Kobe's season reimbursement, the Lakers fell to eighth at the end of the regular season, so they too Encountered one of the worst opponents. I really can’t imagine how the Lakers would compare to the Trail Blazers without Kobe. After playing for a season, the Lakers’ tactical execution is still messy. Howard and Gasol are both very good under D'Antoni. Not used to it. As for Nash, his age and injuries made him play and stop, and his state was terrible. If nothing else, the Trail Blazers should be able to easily pass the first round."

"No no." As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, O'Neill shook his head. Smith thought he was talking bad about the Lakers, which made O'Neal unhappy.

"Not only in the first round, I think there is no team in the entire West to stop the Trail Blazers. In the second round, the Trail Blazers opponent is one of the Grizzlies and the Clippers, but these two opponents can't be against each other. They are a threat. In the Western Conference Finals, if nothing else, it should be one of the Spurs and Thunder with the Trail Blazers. Although both teams are very good this season, I still think the Trail Blazers are better. Don’t. Forget, the Trail Blazers have just announced that Aldridge will return in the playoffs. Now the only obstacle for Ann and the Trail Blazers is to fight them in the regular season and have also won 27 consecutive victories this season. Miami Heat." O'Neal didn't excuse the Lakers, but rebutted Kenny Smith's claim that the Blazers only passed the first round easily. In the eyes of O'Neal, the Trail Blazers will not encounter much obstacles until they enter the Finals.

"The Spurs and Thunder are also difficult to stop the Blazers? Come on, Shaq, why don't you say that Ann directly booked the championship trophy?" Kenny Smith waved his hand. Although the Blazers are very strong, he doesn't think Anjie In the face of the Spurs or the Thunder, there is a big chance of winning. After all, one of these two teams is traditionally powerful, and the other just played in the finals last season.

"Let's bet Kenny, if I say, this year's championship is none other than the Blazers!" O'Neal couldn't listen to other people's doubts, this fat man's brain heated up, and he set up another bet.

"If my prediction is wrong, I'm willing to go to the scene to send flowers to the team that defeated the Trail Blazers!" O'Neal looked serious, not like joking.

"Yes, if the Blazers really win the championship, I will personally present a rose for Ann!" Kenny Smith saw that O'Neal was so serious, and he was not to be outdone.

The rivalry between these two guys can make fans in front of the TV enjoy themselves. This is why they like to watch T.nT. Although TV stations such as espn provide more professional commentary, you will never get bored watching nBa on T.nT.

"Okay, that's it. Next, let's take a look at the other matchups. The Thunder meets the biggest dark horse warrior this year. The Warriors have completed the black eight miracle..."

"It seems that Shaquille is very optimistic about you." Seeing that the T.nT program changed the subject, Ricard turned off the TV.

"He is very visionary. I can't wait to receive the roses given to me by Kenny Smith." An Jie's joke made the training ground of the Rose Garden instantly full of laughter.

"Okay, the rest time is over, let me get up and continue training! Those two guys are just talking in front of the TV. The playoffs are not as easy as they said. LaMarcus, next The confrontational training of you and Ann, I want you to use all your strength to beat him!" Ricard clapped his hands, and the Blazers players continued to devote themselves to training.

"Hey, let me personally check how well you recover." An Jie patted Aldridge on the shoulder, and was instantly into the game state.

"The boss arranged the match-up like this to remind you that it is time to defend seriously!" Aldridge was not to be outdone, and trained with An Jie. This is undoubtedly the closest training method to actual combat. If he can perform well in front of Anjie, then when the official game comes, Aldridge will not be much worse.

"Pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll!"

"Tactic number one, number one!"

"Here, it's empty."

The training ground was immediately overwhelmed by the shouts of the players. Everyone was in their positions and played very seriously. Even now, the time has come to eight o'clock in the evening.

Yes, as the team with the best performance this season, maybe everyone thinks that they will be very relaxed and disdainful when facing the Los Angeles Lakers.
