"George Ricard is officially back and the Trail Blazers hit 72 wins!"

"The dynastic bull record will be flattened, and the Anjie dynasty has arrived?"

"Divac: I really enjoy the time coaching the team. Ricard's return is of great significance to us."

When the media opening hours came and reporters rushed into the training hall and saw Ricard standing on the sidelines, they all yelled in excitement.

Reporters have blessed Ricard’s health to get better and better. Of course, Ricard’s news can always make their reports read several times. This guy is in good health, the more news reporters can dig.

In the era of print media, the news of Ricard’s comeback may not be available until the next day. But in the Internet age, reporters had just walked out of the Moda Center for less than half an hour, and the news of Ricard's comeback was already known to everyone.

This time, the Trail Blazers did not hold any press conference to announce Ricard's return. In fact, Nelsey wanted to host one, but Ricard felt that holding a press conference at such a critical moment was just a waste of time.

He would rather spend more time with the players running tactics than facing the boring media.

It is for this reason that fans are not sure whether Ricard will return to the stadium in the next game. Ricard may just participate in training, but this does not mean that he can definitely return to the scene of the game that is enough to kill people.

Ricard left room for imagination for reporters, and reporters created suspense for fans. So on April 11, the Blazers went away to challenge the Jazz in this game, but the ratings were surprisingly high.

Curiosity, this is something that everyone will have. Will Ricard appear in the end? He appeared, and what would the Trail Blazers look like? All of these have spurred fans from all over the world to turn on the TV and pay attention to this originally huge disparity in strength.

※※※

An Jie was bandaging his injured knee and fingers, while Aldridge was talking to his mother on the side. Iguodala, this guy is still the same as before, closing his eyes to rest. As for the kid Lillard, he was running around and was too excited.

Ricard looked at everything in front of him, still a familiar picture, nothing changed. He left the stadium for two full months. Ricard was still worried whether he would suddenly become unaccustomed to life in the locker room.

However, it was he himself who had been worrying too much. The dressing room is now like Ricard’s home, and he is the most comfortable when he fits in the dressing room.

Ricard exhaled and clapped his hands. Suddenly, everyone's attention fell on him.

If it were someone else being stared at by a group of NBA stars, they would have been shivering and speechless. But Ricard has never been stage fright because of this kind of thing from the first time he coached the NBA.

"Guys, this game may be the relatively easy one of our remaining three games. The Jazz are currently ranked first from last in the Western Conference. They have lost all hope of qualifying for the playoffs, so they are there. You may not fight fiercely either. But we can't play against the Jazz like this. I need you to show your full strength as soon as you play, and end the game early to avoid future troubles!" Ricard waved his arm hard. Everyone knows what to do.

"Come on guys, this is just a warm-up! Let's walk out of the energy solution arena with a beautiful victory!" Ricard said, according to "convention", it is time for Anjie to stand up and shout.

"Victory!" The others in the locker room echoed An Jie's shout, Ricard pushed open the locker room door, and the group of hungry wolves filed out. Although it was on the road, almost all reporters in the player channel pointed their cameras at the Trail Blazers players. It seems that almost everyone does not think the Jazz has the ability to move to this powerful defending champion.

After the game started, seeing Ricard standing on the sidelines, many Trailblazers fans watching the ball in front of the TV shouted in excitement. This swearing guy finally returned after two months.

And the situation of the game, just as Ricard and others expected. The Utah Jazz has no power to fight back at all.

The players of the Jazz played quite loosely, because they are now winning one more game or losing one more game, and neither can change the fact that they have lost this season.

In the face of such a relaxed Jazz, the defending champion took a more serious attitude.

An Jie has been yelling non-stop on the court, urging his teammates not to worry and stabilize the rhythm. If the Trail Blazers missed 72 wins because they lost to the Jazz, the worst in the West, they would definitely become the biggest laughing stock in history.

So the Trail Blazers played cautiously and took a completely different attitude from the Jazz.

The gap between the strength of the two sides is big enough, and now the Blazers have a better mentality, they naturally have a firm control of the game process.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Jazz starting power forward Derek Favors symbolically resisted for a while. However, his resistance did not last long and was completely suppressed by Aldridge, who re-appeared.

At this time, there has been a gap in large-scale blockbusters in the stands of the Energy Solutions Arena. Fans plan to leave the field early to express their dissatisfaction with the team's performance.

The Jazz, who have given up from players to fans, put the game into garbage time early. An Jie and the other starters have gotten plenty of rest, and I believe they will play more easily in the next game.

111 to 89, the Trail Blazers easily won the Jazz away. With 70 wins and 10 losses, the Trail Blazers are only two games away from tying the Bulls record, and there are only two games before the end of the regular season!

"Ann! If the Trail Blazers fall in the last two games, you will definitely leave a lot of regrets this season!" After the game, the reporters also surrounded An Jie.

"Regret? No, no, no, we will definitely get 72 wins!" An Jie replied decisively, making several reporters stunned.

It's not how far the Trail Blazers are from 72 wins, but the reporters know that the next two games will not be easy for the Trail Blazers...

Just one day off after defeating the Jazz, the Trail Blazers will play their penultimate game of the regular season at Moda Center. And their opponents today are no longer the general jazz.

The Los Angeles Clippers, ranked fourth in the Western Conference, have star players such as Paul and Griffin, and have a poor relationship with the Trail Blazers.

The shadow swept by the Trail Blazers in the playoffs last year has allowed the Clippers to treat the Trail Blazers as a deadly enemy.

Chris Paul also knows that now that the playoffs are only five days away, it may be a good opportunity to play against the Trail Blazers seriously.

As a result, the Clippers attacked particularly fiercely from the beginning, and even some of them wanted to turn away.

Especially Paul, this guy really wants to prove that he is also one of the superstars, but he has not been able to stand on the stage of the Western Conference Finals for various reasons.

A superstar who has never even played in the conference finals, Paul doesn't want to carry this name for a lifetime.

Looking at the current west, Anjie and the Blazers are undoubtedly Paul's biggest threat.

In the first half of the game, the Clippers took the initiative. In addition to the starting five, the sixth man of the Clippers and the sixth man of the Trail Blazers, Jamal Crawford played quite happily at Moda Center.

On one point, Crawford and Anjie have the same thoughts. The more you respect your opponent, the more you have to use all your strength to defeat it!

Today’s fake action after Crawford’s breakthrough made An Jie suffer a lot, and people are even exclaiming that the Clippers may be out of the West this year!

But when the fourth quarter arrived, everything changed.

Anjie, Aldridge and Lillard, these three guys began to score points in turn.

Because of Anjie's halo, people often ignore the other players of the Trail Blazers. But today, the Trail Blazers are a wake-up call for everyone. They are also an out-and-out Big Three lineup!

Jamal Crawford was okay to disrupt the game, but when Anjie completely suppressed the rhythm in the fourth quarter, Crawford couldn't play.

Subsequently, Paul and Griffin intend to take over the game. But it is a pity that the Blazers have already risen, and they have not left any chance for the mortal enemy Clippers.

Anjie scored six points in a row at the last minute and blocked Griffin's air relay performance, allowing the Trail Blazers to secure the victory.

104 to 110, it is precisely because of Anjie's last six points that the result of the game will become like this.

After the game, Chris Paul walked directly into the player aisle with his hips shook his head. He didn't say hello to anyone on the Trail Blazers, and ignored the press.

Maybe, this is how a person will behave after being disappointed.

After winning the game, the fans of the entire Moda Center stood up neatly and yelled.

"72 wins! 72 wins! 72 wins! 72 wins!"

Everyone repeated the word neatly and regularly, and some fans even held up a big sign with the word "72".

Defeating the Clippers, this means that the Trail Blazers' record has become 71 wins and 10 losses, and now that the Trail Blazers' 82 regular season games are over, there is one last game left!

In one game, with only one game left, the Trail Blazers will climb to the pinnacle occupied by the Bulls that year. Compared to the scenery there, it must be very beautiful.

"Only one game left, boss." An Jie walked to Ricard. The seemingly impossible record is now in front of the Trail Blazers, waiting for them to pick it up.

"Yes, it's only one game away. That game was **** not easy." Ricard's expression is not easy~www.NovelMTL.com~ even if his team just defeated the West The fourth clippers.

An Jie also agreed with this. The experience of being killed by this opponent still lingers in An Jie's mind.

April 16, 2014, was the day when the final battle of the 13-14 season NBA regular season began. On that day, it is very likely that there will be a major event that will be recorded in the history of the Alliance.

But now, there is a team that has the ability to prevent greatness from happening.

This is why Ricard was not excited about the victory of this game. The opponent they met in the final battle was an opponent that made him very jealous.

The Golden State Warriors, ranked sixth in the Western Conference and a blockbuster team this season, is Ricard's most worried team in these three games.

Although the ranking of the Warriors this season is not amazing, Ricard can see that the strength of this team has exceeded people's imagination!

The biggest obstacle to the Trail Blazers' 72 wins. Now, it’s time to try to surpass him...
