The Way of the Center
Chapter 358: Enemy's Narrow Road
Although Anjie and the Trail Blazers defeated their opponents by a large score tonight, in fact, the Pacers are not a weak team. ┡E』Novel WwㄟW. "1XIAOSHUO. COM After the Celtics lost to the Trail Blazers, the Pacers "naturally" squeezed to the third position in the Eastern Conference. The third place in the East, although the record of the Eastern teams is generally not as good as that of the Western teams, but the third place in the East is definitely enough to prove the strength of a team.
But even so, the Pacers still lost a big score in the Rose Garden. Moreover, their two star players, Daniel Granger and Paul George, were totally powerless to fight back.
Although it was a head-to-head confrontation between the eastern and western powerhouses, the atmosphere of this game was generally very friendly. George and Anjie cherish each other, and the two teams did not fight too hard.
Like this kind of game that is very easy from the process to the result, An Jie doesn't come across a few games in a season. One is because the Trail Blazers have become stronger and more teams want to beat them. Secondly, An Jie, the "shit-stirring stick", has made many enemies during the past few years in the NBA.
If the attitude of the Pacers players towards An Jie is still friendly, then the next opponent of the Trail Blazers will absolutely hate An Jie.
The New York Knicks, this Eastern Conference team, did not finally improve their performance until the two years after Stoudemire and Anthony joined.
Before that, Anjie staged his good massacre at Madison Square Garden more than once. But the biggest reason why the Knicks must hate Anjie is their two leading stars.
Amar'e Stoudemire, the athletic power forward and Anjie's first fight, caused Anjie's head to be broken. It was precisely because of that that An Jie developed the habit of wearing a sweat-absorbing headband and cropping his hair.
What about Carmelo Anthony? Anthony will never forget the blue ocean of Oklahoma in his life. If it weren't for Anjie, the ambitious Nuggets would not have packed their bags and returned home in the first round. If the Nuggets do not lose, Anthony will not travel east to New York.
In short, the two leading stars of the New York Knicks don't like An Jie, and they haven't seen him for a year. Therefore, before the game even started, An Jie could imagine that this game would definitely be very different from that of the Pacers. The most terrible thing is that facing such an opponent with malicious intentions, the Blazers are still fighting back to back.
On March 13th, the Trail Blazers defeated the Walker in the Rose Garden. On March 14th, Anjie and the team had to rush across the United States from the west to the east, and fly to New York to prepare for the next game.
One thing Rickard absolutely agrees with Jeff Van Gundy is that he really wants to greet David Stern's family because of the schedule. Just play back to back,
This is also a back-to-back road trip from the west to the east of the United States. His players had just won a big win before they had to get on a plane and head to their next destination.
That night, the plane was the only resting place for the Trail Blazers players. Each of them slept soundly, because they were tired all day and really needed to rest...
...................................
An Jie didn't open his eyes until he heard the alarm clock set on his mobile phone go off. He rarely wakes up by the alarm clock. Even during the All-Star Game, Anjie will consciously get up early for training. But such a back-to-back game arrangement of long-distance raids is indeed too tortured. Even people like An Jie didn't get up until it was close to eleven o'clock.
After arriving in New York in the early hours of yesterday, the Trail Blazers players were still delayed for a long time due to traffic jams on the road. An Jie couldn't remember what time he lay in bed, he only knew that the sky in New York was already gray and bright at that time.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, An Jie didn't have the idea of "sleep a little longer", he was very anxious, he was worried that his current state would not be able to cope with the night's game.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Anjie is diligent. Sometimes it is not because An Jie wants to practice so much, but because he is afraid that he is stagnant while his opponent is constantly improving.
In order not to let himself fall behind, the only thing An Jie can do is to train crazily. Now, while everyone was still sleeping, he went to the Madison Square Garden, which was already open to visiting teams, a few hours earlier.
At this time, the Trail Blazers only had An Jie in the gymnasium. Under normal circumstances, the training grounds provided for the away team are far away from the home team's training ground. This prevents both sides from meeting each other during training.
But this time, since the New York Philharmonic has occupied two training grounds for rehearsals, the Blazers' temporary training ground is actually next door to the Knicks' training ground!
An Jie had just found the field belonging to the visiting team, when he met Stoudemire and Anthony who were walking from the passage and talking and laughing.
Embarrassed, An Jie deeply understood the meaning of this word for the first time. The two people who were originally smiling, suddenly froze when they saw An Jie.
"Tch, I really don't know what the management of Madison Square Garden thinks." Stoudemire passed An Jie angrily, and when he passed, he deliberately pushed An Jie with his shoulder.
Although Anthony didn't say anything, his eyes also revealed his dislike for An Jie. If this was in Los Angeles and Anjie met Kobe, maybe the two would embrace each other warmly. Anthony didn't say anything, it was already a sign that he didn't like An Jie.
It's just that Anthony's character is not as manic as Stoudemire's, so he didn't say anything to An Jie. But want Anthony to forget about that loss so quickly? This is impossible!
"Cameron, I think we have to do something on our own territory. Some people are so impolite, they like to run wild at other people's doors." Although the conversation between Stedmire and Anthony was not named surname, but obviously, he was talking about Anjie.
It wasn't until the two walked into the training field belonging to the Knicks that An Jie's ears finally calmed down. It seems that in this game, I will really be treated very, very warmly by Anthony and Stoudemire.
An Jie, who is straightforward and arrogant on the court, has indeed offended many people, but he did not expect that the two guys who hate him the most will play in the same team one day.
The Knicks had just experienced a four-game losing streak before, and so far they are also struggling in the eighth and seventh edge positions in the Eastern Conference. It can be said that their record cannot be compared with the Trail Blazers at all.
However, affected by emotions, Anthony and Stoudemire may perform very poorly, or they may perform horizontally because of this. I hope everything is peaceful in New York today, An Jie knows the strength of these two guys. If both of them go crazy, the Blazers will have a tough time.
"If we want to beat the Trail Blazers, we can't just rely on brute force. You have to know at which time the Trail Blazers are weakest, and at which time we should focus on defense." In the training ground, the Knicks The players did not practice. The tactics that should be run are also rehearsed, and the technical movements that should be practiced, the Knicks players have already practiced enough the day before. Now, Knicks coach Mike Woodson's top priority is to teach his players how to read the Blazers' weaknesses.
"Stoudemire, when your teammate is holding the ball, I don't want you to run. You only need to accomplish one thing, pester Ann!" Mike Woodson is not ignorant of how terrifying Anjie's defense is , but he also has a strong inside player under him.
If Stoudemire was asked to give up everything to entangle with An Jie, An Jie might really be tied up.
"As for you Tyson, your task is to strangle Aldridge to death! You don't need to defend the inside line, and you don't have to worry about Anjie. Wherever Aldridge runs, you will watch for me. Absolutely, absolutely not Let him get even the slightest shooting space!" After switching to the New York Knicks, Tyson Chandler's defensive ability has made great progress. He's definitely one of the top defenders in the league right now, on par with Angie. If Aldridge meets him, it will be very difficult.
"When Ann is off the court, I want you to reduce the number of shots on the outside and try to hit the inside! Marcus Camby dedicated his youth to New York. Now he is just an old and slow The big guy who can't move. Attack the inside line and cause damage, we will be able to firmly control the situation in our own hands!"
Subsequently, Mike Woodson talked a lot about the Trail Blazers. The Knicks players also listened with gusto and were eager to try.
After all, who in this league doesn't want to beat the Blazers? Being able to defeat the biggest dark horse in the west is already a proof of his own strength.
The later the season, the more teams will get to know each other better. And the arrangements made by Woodson today are all based on the right medicine! As long as the players have no problems, it is not impossible to win the Blazers.
You know, he has superstars like Stoudemire and Anthony under his command! The Knicks are not a weak team! They must remind themselves that the current Knicks are also very strong!
An Jie, who was sweating on the training ground, didn't know that just next door, a group of old men were discussing how to break themselves.
But he is not worried, Anthony and Stoudemire have their team, and Anjie also has his own team.
"I knew you were here!" An energetic shout made An Jie stop his shooting. Looking back, all members of the Trail Blazers walked into the visiting team's training ground wearing training uniforms.
They were all moving around, talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to be affected by yesterday's sleepless night. At this moment, An Jie suddenly felt relieved.
"Why did you come here? I almost fell asleep." An Jie rushed to Aldridge, who was at the front, and smiled.
"That's because you didn't sleep well last night!" Felton clapped hard and took out the basketball from An Jie's hand. After that, he broke through quickly, suddenly stopped for a jumper near the free throw line, and the basketball went into the net hollowly.
After scoring the goal, Felton turned around and spread his hands to Anjie.
"I thought you would be soft on your old club?" Anjie knew Felton's feelings for the Knicks. It can be said that without the Knicks at that time, there would be no Felton now. That season with the Knicks was almost Felton's peak season. I hope this strong No. 1 can dream of returning to the top at Madison Square Garden.
"Okay! The rest time is over, gentlemen! From now until we win, no one is allowed to relax! Now, all stand in the middle circle for me, and let me see how much you remember about the tactical arrangement!" Finally, George Ricard appeared at the gate of the training ground. His voice, covering all the noise, went straight to the players' ears.
Don't get too excited, it's not just the Knicks first team who are seriously preparing for the game! The Blazers, who came with a six-game winning streak, did not intend to lose at Madison Square Garden.
The New Yorkers are bound to rise up and resist, but the Blazers will spare no effort to confront them head-on. This game is likely to become extremely fierce due to various reasons. It may even be so intense that it directly falls outside the scope of the regular season.
However, it may not be a bad thing for the Trail Blazers to experience the fierce confrontation of the playoffs before the playoffs.
The revenge battle between Stoudemire and Anthony, of course, the butcher is not the number one villain who can be defeated easily!
He once smashed your dreams with his own hands, but he will not apologize for it. Quite the contrary, Angie and Happy to do it again!
