The Way of the Center

Chapter 523: Scam

George Karl is very aware of the impact of a disagreement between generals and coaches on a team, because Anthony and him have just parted ways.

If the Nuggets were united, they would not have fallen on the road to championship again and again. The conflict between the coach and the head star is a disaster, a disaster that can affect the entire team.

In the history of nba, countless excellent teams have been destroyed by the same disaster. Fortunately, the Nuggets were not completely destroyed, but compared to the Anthony period, they are indeed much weaker now.

But George Karl doesn't have to worry about the general's discord now. There are no superstars in the Nuggets team, and naturally no one dares to fight against him, a irascible old man with white hair.

On the contrary, Anjie and Ricard, who have been hyped up in recent days, have become an opportunity that George Karl is ready to seize.

Maybe taking advantage of the discord between these two guys, the Nuggets can beat the Blazers. Now the Nuggets are temporarily ranked sixth in the West, but at this stage, their ranking is not completely safe. Doing our best to fight every game is the only way for the Nuggets to secure a place in the playoffs.

Although so far, Anjie and Ricard have not publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with each other. But George Karl is very clear that the media will not hype this kind of thing for no reason. Didn't he and Anthony admit nothing to the media back then?

The wily and calculating George Karl was very serious about preparing for this game, and his players also obediently worked hard and sweated. Now that the Blazers' winning streak is over, let them lose an extra game or two.

"The Trail Blazers' winning streak lasted from December 29 last year to February 21 a few days ago. For two months, they almost all spent winning. But now, everything has changed. Now, the crack between the two pillars of Anjie and Ricard may cause the entire Trail Blazers to collapse!"

"Even Jordan achieved success after obediently listening to the words of the "Zen Master" Jackson. Now that Anjie lacks Ricard, I think his legend will not be able to continue."

"Today's game,

The Nuggets would be a very suitable opponent. They're strong enough, but not so strong that the Blazers can't beat them. What impact will the relationship between Anjie and Ricard have on the team? We will definitely see it in this game. "

Looking at the overwhelming reports about himself and An Jie, Rickard couldn't help shaking his head. Today's sports journalists, it's a waste of talent not to write storybooks. The nba described by this group of guys may be more exciting than the real nba.

"Vlad, do you think we can make good use of the media this time?" Since the outside world has spent so much effort to help publicize the "feud" between him and An Jie, Ricard feels that such an opportunity is not necessary. waste.

"Use, how to use?"

"I can follow my plan, pretend to be at odds with Ann, and mislead George Karl's tactics. Then when he is caught off guard, launch a fierce attack!" Ricard knew that the Nuggets must have made great preparations for this game , In order to minimize the probability of losing, Ricard is willing to use all means.

Divac was stunned, he had been in the NBA for so long, and he had never heard of a head coach who deliberately pretended to be at odds with his star. Ricard was a little too bold this time.

"You lunatic, what are you going to do? George Karl is very shrewd, he will not let go of any clues." Divac did not agree with Ricard's unconstrained approach at first.

"It is precisely because he is too smart and observes too carefully that I have such an idea..." Ricard laughed sinisterly, a good show directed and acted by himself is about to be staged.

Today is the last day of the Trail Blazers' 4-day rest. After today, the long-lost Portland fans can finally come to watch the game at home. So at the end of training today, there were the most reporters blocking the entrance of the Rose Garden.

This group of reporters persisted in waiting outside, hoping to find out some information about Ricard and An Jie. But the rose garden is like an airtight fortress, and nothing inside can be seen clearly by the outside world.

It wasn't until Ricard came out from the main gate of the stadium with his briefcase that the waiting of the reporters finally paid off.

However, their questions almost bored Ricard, because the focus of the reporters was still his relationship with An Jie.

"Okay, okay, you bother me so much every day, my head is about to explode. I can hear calluses about that problem! Don't you want to know how Ann and I are now? Let me tell you, if not If the trade deadline has passed, I would have wanted to trade him a long time ago! That arrogant Chinese, he has never listened to me!" Ricard yelled with his face flushed, he pushed the crowd away angrily, and gradually moved away. go.

The reporters who had just heard the answer stood there blankly, looking at each other. Just now... Ricard seemed to have made the conflict between the two public just now?

Yes, the conflict between Rickard and An Jie has been fully disclosed!

Looking at the group of reporters who picked up their mobile phones and yelled, Ricard, who was sitting in the taxi, smiled very happily.

"Where are you going, coach."

"Andara Restaurant, I'm in a good mood today, I'm taking my family to try Peruvian cuisine."

The taxi drove away, and at the same time, the group of reporters had spread Ricard's remarks all over the United States and the world. I hope that shrewd old man George Karl can see it earlier...

"Teaming! Double-teaming! Resolutely double-teaming! Two people can't do double-teaming, but three people can do double-teaming! We just need to keep an eye on An, and the game will be won!" The time has come to the 2 On August 27, before the game, George Karl emphasized the Nuggets' defensive strategy again and again in the locker room.

After the conflict between Anjie and Ricard became public, there was an uproar across the United States. The two who used to have a good relationship can't escape the curse that the head star and the head coach will inevitably have conflicts. It seems that there is really only one Popovich and Duncan in this world.

George Karl naturally seized this opportunity and arranged for his players to double-team Anjie. If An Jie really broke with Ricard, then it is impossible for An Jie to continue listening to Ricard. Only by completely turning against each other can they force management to make changes.

Either Ricard will not let Anjie play, and once Anjie plays, Anjie will definitely use singles to protest Ricard.

After all, Anjie and Ricard are both very individual people, and the breakup between these two guys will not stop at the level of petty fights.

A head coach would not easily say: "I have wanted to trade you for a long time." Even George Karl did not dare to say that about Anthony in front of the media back then. It can be seen that the relationship between Ricard and An Jie must have reached an irreparable point!

Use this opportunity to lock An Jie's solo fight. Then build your advantage and take the game down!

George Karl's calculations were very strong, but this guy didn't know that the matter that was being discussed enthusiastically in the basketball world in the United States was nothing more than a scam that Ricard and Anjie jointly blocked.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Before starting, An Jie was still a little uneasy. Ricard asked himself to play singles from the beginning, regardless of the consequences. Although An Jie is also a bold person, he still feels that his coach is a little too crazy today.

"Don't worry, your singles efficiency will not be too low. After you successfully attract all the defenses of the Nuggets, the victory will be firmly in our hands!" Rickard conveyed to Anjie through Divac This sentence is because under the eyes of the public, Ricardo is unwilling to talk to Anjiedo.

"It seems that the rumors that coach Ricard and Anjie are at odds are true. It is said that coach Ricard still reprimanded Anjie as an idiot on the training ground! Look, now Ricard is not even willing to say a word. An Jie said that An Jie's tactical arrangement was completely done by assistant coach Divac! Can such a team be effective!?"

"The Trail Blazers is definitely a typical example of extreme joy and sorrow. After just winning the second longest 27-game winning streak in history, they are facing the embarrassment of discord between the generals. Maybe this is the curse of the city of tearing! The closer they are The championship, the more you can't win the championship!"

"Um... I'll try my best." An Jie shook his head and answered Divac. To make yourself look vulnerable on purpose? Will George Karl really be fooled?

While An Jie was still thinking, the referee had already started urging An Jie to stand in the middle circle. Will this be a successful scam or play with fire? Did George Karl follow his plan or did he really not notice it?

All mysteries will be revealed within 48 minutes.
