The Way of the Center

The more Ricard talked about DeAndre Jordan in the locker room, the more excited Anjie became. The coach attaches great importance to him, which shows that this guy is really good. Being able to fight against a strong opponent is also a great opportunity to prove one's own strength.

Anjie also studied the game video of Texas A\u0026M University with the whole team before. In the video, DeAndre Jordan gave people the impression that he has the best physical fitness and excellent athletic ability. What else? nothing.

Jordan didn't show his post-up skills in the game, nor did he help his teammates much in pick-and-roll screens. There is only one offensive method to score 16 goals, and that is dunks, all kinds of dunks. After grabbing the offensive rebound, he directly took off the spot for dunks, supplementary dunks, alley-oop dunks, one-handed split dunks, two-handed dunks, dunks between people...every goal Jordan scored was addictive, but If you read too much, you will inevitably have doubts in your heart. "Is there anything else this guy can do besides dunking?"

"Anjie! You have to mentally prepare me for this game. Don't underestimate the enemy! DeAndre Jordan is not at the same level as the opponents you met before! You will encounter very big obstacles on the defensive end. He The terrifying jumping ability can make your advantage of height and wingspan disappear in an instant. Be careful of his blocking, and don’t just take it for granted!” Ricard loudly reminded Anjie, the most common mistake young people make It's self-aggrandizement, arrogance. After only playing a few good games, he regarded himself as a mighty star. Ricard didn't want to see such a mistake happen to An Jie.

"Don't worry, coach, I'm not qualified to underestimate any opponent yet. I will go all out as usual."

"Very good! We've done a good job so far, let's keep the momentum going today! Alright lads! It's time, let's play!"

In the locker room on the other side, the head coach of Texas A\u0026M University, Carter Robertson, also listed Angel as the player who needs to focus on this game. Although in the first three games, Andrew Morris and Mike Taylor of Iowa State University also performed well. But he still believes that as long as the Chinese is contained, the offensive threat of Morris and Taylor, who lack support, will be much smaller.

"DeAndre, don't underestimate that skinny Chinese big man. On the defensive end, you must do your best to stop him." Carter Robertson was also afraid that Jordan, who had just broken the record, would take it lightly, so he told him before the game hit him once.

"Don't worry, Boss, I'll show that yellow-skinned guy what real inside melee is." As he spoke, Jordan stretched out the muscles in his arms. The teammates also made noises with him, and the atmosphere in the locker room became extremely relaxed.

No one could see the atmosphere in the locker room, but the atmosphere on the field began to gradually heat up.

As soon as An Jie came out of the player tunnel, he stared at DeAndre Jordan. Jordan also turned his head and saw An Jie on the other side of the court. The two looked at each other, each with a murderous look in their eyes. Before the game even started, the two opponents were already secretly competing.

Divac also sat on the bench in a suit, watching the court silently. This is the first time that An Jie has met an opponent who can really pose a threat to him. I hope he can become a blockbuster and increase An Jie's confidence in the draft. How much did this kid absorb the things he taught? This also made Divac look forward to it very much.

"The same team that has experienced three consecutive victories, the same team that uses the center as the first point of attack, and the same team that was not favored by everyone this season. The Iowa State University Cyclones and Texas A\u0026M University The farm boys team has too many similarities, but the two leading centers in the two teams have completely opposite playing styles. Angie of the Cyclones has a thin body,

The athletic ability is average, relying on excellent post-up skills to rule the penalty area. And DeAndre Jordan has no skills at all, he relies entirely on his strong body and excellent athletic ability. This kind of duel with severely polarized playing styles is also very exciting. "Paul Philips still served as the commentator of the game on the local sports station in Ames City.

"You are right, and with Divac's personal guidance, I think we may see a completely different Anjie in the game." Philips' partner is still the Bill he is familiar with.

The commentator's debate, the fans' shouts, the cheerleaders' dancing, and the media's hype. All the foreshadowing has been done, and people are looking forward to this matchup with great success. Now, just wait for the exciting game to officially start.

With the whistle of the referee, DeAndre Jordan flew into the air directly in the middle circle! He easily won the ball for the farmer's team to attack first. It was only when they faced each other on the court that An Jie experienced how terrifying Jordan's bounce and speed were. An Jie had never lost in the first three games of scrimmage, but today Jordan jumped a whole palm faster than him!

After landing, Jordan didn't stop for a moment, and ran directly towards the three-second zone at high speed. An Jie knew his intentions, and before the others could react, he quickly started and chased after Jordan. But An Jie was still a little slower, and Jordan's running speed was much faster than An Jie.

Morris also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately chased after An Jie.

Seeing that Jordan had stepped into the free throw line, the point guard Marvin Jones of the Farm Boys directly threw the ball into the air.

Anjie took off to intercept on the way, but he failed to touch the ball, just a little short.

Morris also took off and intercepted on the way, and he was even worse than Anjie.

The ball just passed over the heads of Anjie and Morris, and flew in the direction of Jordan.

The two insiders of the Cyclones failed to touch the ball, so can DeAndre Jordan catch it?

When the ball was about to reach Jordan's head, it had already begun to fall. The ball is passed just right and will not be destroyed by others, but it can be taken down by one's own people.

DeAndre Jordan wouldn't miss this chance to slam the rim, rising up to grab the ball that was still falling in the air with both hands. He didn't land, but directly dunked the ball into the basket vigorously after getting the ball. This powerful dunk made the entire rim tremble and the entire arena cheered.

After landing, Jordan hit his chest hard a few times. This is a kind of catharsis, and he also announced that this will be a game that belongs to him.

Afterwards, Jordan turned around and looked at the big yellow-skinned man who failed to chase back. He pointed his index finger at An Jie.

This game is destined to be a contest between the two of us. DeAndre Jordan silently declared war on Anjie.

"Now the score is 1:0." Jordan said softly to An Jie when he ran back to his half and passed An Jie.

An Jie knew that what Jordan was talking about was not the score on the field, but the unique score between the two of them.

"Haha, this guy named Jordan is interesting. How will you deal with it next? Boy." Everyone on the Cyclone bench frowned, only Divac showed a slight smile.

………………..

"Lucy, Lucy, Lucy." Mike Taylor shouted the signal to open the formation while controlling the ball, urging his teammates to move. After hearing the code name, everyone stood wide apart, and both An Jie and Morris pulled out of the three-second zone, leaving a lot of room for attack in the penalty area.

"Why, aren't you going to face me directly? Or did that ball just scare you?" Little Jordan chattered provocatively in An Jie's ear, but An Jie's emotions were not affected. He resolutely carried out the attack according to the tactics, and he didn't get overheated because of the opponent's provocation.

When Taylor just dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point arc, Anjie suddenly started and ran out to make a wall for Taylor. Little Jordan knew that this guy could shoot with one hand, so he didn't dare to neglect, and followed behind An Jie.

The quality of the pick-and-roll was mediocre, and Taylor wasn't completely free from Jones' defense. When he was halfway through the emergency stop jumper and was about to shoot, Jones rushed to interfere with Taylor's shot.

Anjie turned around and ran towards the basket the moment Taylor made a shot. Of course, Jordan also reacted in the same way. The chance of this ball was not good, and the chance of not scoring was very high.

Sure enough, the basketball bounced out of the frame. Jordan wanted to use his bounce and strength to squeeze into the inside and grab the rebound, but found that Anjie stretched his arms and stuck himself outside. Little Jordan was not reconciled, and still jumped with all his strength, but he didn't reach the landing point of the basketball. On the contrary, An Jie has been observing the changes in the basketball, getting stuck in the position, moving his feet constantly, and he was not disturbed when Jordan jumped up behind his back. Just like that, An Jie saw the timing, jumped lightly, and took the offensive rebound into his arms.

Divac carefully watched Anjeka's footsteps and upper body technical movements off the court, and he was very relieved. This kid absorbs it really fast. It would be even more perfect if the judgment of the rebound's landing point was more accurate. But this thing can't be taught, it can only accumulate experience through continuous competition.

An Jie was right under the basket after he got the rebound and landed, but he didn't rush to take off immediately to complete the second attack. He knew that there was someone more anxious than him behind him.

An Jie raised the basketball, as if he was going to jump and dunk straight from the spot. Sure enough, seeing that he lost a defensive rebound, Jordan couldn't let this kid finish his second offense so easily. He saw An Jie raised the basketball and jumped over decisively to block the shot.

An Jie knew that Jordan would be fooled. In this case, even he himself might be shaken by the same action. This is the conditioned reflex of every basketball player. Seeing that the opponent is open and ready to make a shot, most people will rush to interfere with the attack like a dead sheep.

An Jie knew that someone would rush towards him, but he didn't have any intention of dodging. Little Jordan jumped too high and fell directly on An Jie's back. Fortunately, Anjie didn't do anything wrong at this time, so Jordan didn't fall too hard.

There is no doubt that the referee called a defensive foul. Angie not only got two free throw opportunities, but also let DeAndre. Jordan back a foul in the opening.

Under Divac's guidance, Anjie's shooting has become more stable. Therefore, there were no accidents in these two free throws, and the two free throws were perfect. Anjie scored 2 points and 1 rebound in one offense, and made Jordan bear a foul. It's like killing multiple birds with one stone.

When running back to his own half to defend, An Jie compared two ones with two hands to Jordan.

"1:1 my friend, let's do it all over again."

This game is destined to be the cruelest contest between the two centers! As for who can see the final victory, only God knows now.
