The Way of the Center

"Um, that's fucking unlucky..." Kevin Love just got off the plane, and when he looked up, he saw a huge billboard. E┡ Δnovel Ww%W. *1XIAOSHUO. The content of the COM billboard is nothing but a promotional poster for the Trail Blazers, and the person on the poster is naturally their star player An Jie.

Like Kevin Love, the Timberwolves also have a guy who was distraught by Anjie in college. He is the former No. 2 pick, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, Michael Beasley.

"Let's go, don't look at it. As long as you are serious and work hard, he is not invincible. No, the Trail Blazers just lost two games in a row. Let's make this number into three!" Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman urged his players to get on the team bus as soon as possible. Now they must take the time to rest in order to show their strength in tomorrow's game.

At first, Adelman thought that An Jie was a player like Yao Ming back then, but later he found out that he was too wrong.

Adelman knows Yao Ming, so he also knows how to beat Yao Ming. But unfortunately, after Anjie's continuous evolution, people discovered that this guy is quite different from Yao Ming.

Adelman can only use his own experience to develop a defensive plan on Anjie. It has been too long in this league that there hasn't been an all-round center like Anjie, so Adelman and his Timberwolves have no data and information to refer to.

How to defend against Anjie, no team in the league can give a definite answer.

But fortunately, Adelman at least has an almighty Love. Whether the Timberwolves can win, Love's performance will be the key. Although the person facing Love will be LaMarcus Aldridge, the second head of the Trail Blazers, but as long as Love makes a move, Ricard will immediately switch Anjie to defend. Therefore, both Adelman and Love are ready to fight Anjie to the end.

What about Anjie? He didn't think about it that much. Now he was lying on the bed early, hoping to get a full rest. Tomorrow will be another home game after the team's two-game losing streak. The Trail Blazers' longest losing streak this season is two. And An Jie didn't want this record to be broken.

...................................

3o+3o, breaking the league record for consecutive double-doubles, a double-double machine... What do you think when a very young team achieves such a result? In short, the reaction of many people was surprise. If it weren't for the Timberwolves' record not being as good as the Trail Blazers and Thunder, Love might now be the hottest rookie in the O8 class. It's a pity that Ross, Westbrook and Anjie are still firmly on his head.

Love's crazy performance,

Let him get rid of people's bad impression of him, and make him one of the hottest top stars in the league. The white and fat Love became a beast in the low post, and his post-up turnaround jumper made most insiders hard to guard against. His 3-pointers, which account for half of his shots per game, make him a terrifying scoring specialist.

It is precisely because of this elegant-looking Kevin Love that the Timberwolves, a team with poor results, have one of the few things to watch.

However, even such a "big killer insider" still felt a little nervous when he was about to face An Jie.

Although An Jie's statistics are not as gorgeous as Le Fu's, Le Fu knows in his heart that this does not mean that his strength is much stronger than An Jie's. It can even be said that he has no advantage in strength at all!

He only hoped that his Montenegro teammate Nikola Pekovic would work harder to keep Anjie away from him.

To deal with Aldridge, Love is full of confidence. But to deal with An Jie, Le Fu never wanted to experience it a second time since college!

"Coach, now the team has lost two games in a row, and has yet to win after the All-Star Game. What do you think is the real reason that troubles the team?" Before the game, the reporter in front of ESPN also found Ricard, hoping He can explain fans' confusion.

The Trail Blazers have always won consecutive games, and during the All-Star Game, the Trail Blazers also had a good time because of Anjie and Aldridge. I really can't figure out why this team suddenly became like this.

"The first loss to the Nuggets, maybe we just came off the break, a little bit loose. The second loss to the Heat, God, what else can there be. When two people on a team can score 3o More points, then they are very difficult to lose. The second loss to the Heat, we have no problem, the problem is that James and Wade performed too well. Of course, we are not bad. So this game, I think Ann should I can present you with a wonderful game. Well, I have to arrange tactics, thank you." Rickard politely left the cameraman and female reporter, and the next thing should be solved in a basketball way.

Ricard waved to the players who were warming up. Now, he will return to the locker room to make the final deployment for the players. Regardless of the poor record of the Timberwolves, most of their losses were only 4 to 5 points away. If the Blazers fail to bite at the last moment like the day before yesterday, it is very likely that the gutter will capsize.

Adelman also knows that even if the Trail Blazers have just experienced a two-game losing streak, it is also very dangerous. Ricard is definitely a master of psychological warfare, he can mobilize the emotions of the players very well. Even An Jie would definitely agree with this point.

Because obviously, Jeff Van Gundy, who once coached him, is not as good at boosting the morale of the players as Ricard.

Furthermore, Anjie is the kind of player who becomes more courageous as he gets frustrated. If the Blazers are now two consecutive victories, then Adelman can also count on Anjie may be distracted. But the team's two-game losing streak will only make Anjie more focused!

Now the coaches of both sides are scratching their heads for the other's top star, and the stars of both sides also want to show their strengths in the next game.

Although this game is not a battle for the top spot in the Western Conference, it is also quite interesting.

The fans in the Rose Garden were already suffocated during the All-Star Game, but once the regular season resumed, the Blazers failed to win a game. They are very depressed, but they are still enthusiastic.

The signs held up by many fans only wrote a simple word: Victory! An Jie stared at these small cards with fascination. Those words were exactly what he longed for at the moment.

Love looked at An Jie covetously. Although An Jie was really hardworking and played very well, he also got along well with Westbrook, who was also his friend. But for so many years, Love couldn't like An Jie. Because in the eyes of a guy like Love, flopping is an extremely despicable and shameless act! And An Jie is a big insider who is good at acting.

It is for this reason that Love has always been very hostile to An Jie. When An Jie was injured last season, Love's sudden explosion made people admire the O8. This season, he who has been quite different from before finally got a chance to confront An Jie head-on.

He will tell the outside world with his actions that those yin and yang bad moves will eventually be defeated by orthodox basketball!

"Fuck, what does this guy want to do!?" As soon as he stood in the middle circle, Pekovic felt that An Jie's eyes were wrong. With such a ferocious expression, it was as if he saw an enemy.

In fact, An Jie didn't hate Pekovic, An Jie didn't even recognize him, so how could he be hated?

Pekovic's rookie season was the year when Anjie was reimbursed for the season. It is also because of this that Anjie has never played against Pekovic.

The reason why he made those fierce expressions was not aimed at Pekovic, but because An Jie, who had been holding back for two days, couldn't wait to start fighting soon!

You can't practice more, and you can't fight with Camby in training. An Jie is full of energy now, and he is worried that he has nowhere to use it!

So when Anjie jumped the ball, even Ricard was surprised by Anjie's jump.

He almost exploded with all the strength in his legs, and jumped up hard. The Montenegrin center could only watch An Jie push the ball away in the air, but he couldn't even touch An Jie's hand, let alone fight for the ball.

"Huge gap, oh my god, that's definitely the highest I've ever seen Anjie jump." Since TnT has other live broadcasts across the United States today, the person explaining this game has also changed from the new trio of T.nT It became Kevin Holland and Reggie Miller.

Anjie was very excited at the beginning of the game. After he scrambled the ball to the ground, he hurried to the Timberwolves' half. And Felton also accelerated the pace because of Anjie's fast push.

"Spanish Golden Boy" Ricky Rubio defended very hard, but the strong Felton had no pressure at all against him.

Felton broke through directly and passed the ball vigorously into the three-second zone. The Blazers' intentions were obvious. As soon as they played, they planned to hit Anjie!

"Anjie scored a terrifying 42 points in the last game. I think Anjie should get more shots today." Reggie Miller watched intently, and he looked forward to Anjie's later How will the attack be completed. This all-round Chinese tall man can always surprise people.

Felton's pass was so big that even Anjie had to jump up a bit to get it.

Before Anjie landed, he felt Pekovic's strong push behind him, and in front of him, Timberwolves' young small forward Wesley Johnson resolutely double-teamed.

If he lands with the ball, he will inevitably fall into the encirclement. Adelman is really very experienced. He knows that the most effective way to defend centers like Anjie and Yao Ming is to prevent them from taking the ball comfortably!

An Jie immediately looked outside. Since there is a double-team, there must be a vacancy. The moment he was about to land, An Jie saw Gerald Wallace who raised his hand for the ball in the bottom corner.

In the last game, it was because of Gerald Wallace's carelessness that the team failed to seize the final moment. But today, in the same position, An Jie still chooses to trust his teammates!

He caught the ball in the air, and before it hit the ground, he passed the ball wide again. If the ball is to be replaced by another insider, it may have been passed long ago. But An Jie is the best passing center in the league!

Gerald Wallace, who was very focused, received Angie's fast pass steadily. When Wesley Johnson reacted, Elvis Presley had already completed the shot.

Love quickly stuck Aldridge behind him. Elvis Presley has not been in good shape in recent games, which has been reflected in the data. There is a high chance that the ball will not be scored, and Love's task is to ensure the rebound!

The basketball did not fall into the net, but into the rim. Unfortunately, when the basketball fell again, he still rolled into the net.

"What is this? An alley-oop pass? My God, Ann passed the ball before it hit the ground. Not only did he make no mistakes, but he also successfully completed the assist!" Although he didn't score , but Anjie's actions still met Reggie Miller's expectations.

"Damn it!" Until then, Adelman realized that he had been tricked. Rickard, he never planned to let Anjie keep attacking as soon as he came on the field!

Before the game, Ricard made a lot of hype, allowing the Timberwolves to focus all on Anjie. But in the opening game, Anjie took advantage of this to give his teammates a chance. An Jie, it's just a cover to attract firepower!

Even if he wants Anjie to score 40 points, that doesn't mean that Anjie can play singles with the ball.

Because Ricard's basketball is not called Anjie, but a team!

Kevin Love looked at An Jie who was high-fiving his teammates, and gritted his teeth. How will this guy who scored 31+31, 4o+2o respond?
