The Way of the Center

The Stanford Crimson team was not affected by the ball just now, and their style of play remained the same, allowing Brook to solve the problem inside.

But when Brook Lopez got entangled with An Jie again, he found that he couldn't play as freely as before. An Jie violently grabbed Brook's jersey, allowing Brook to use his strength, but An Jie never took a step back.

"Hmph, that's right." Brook Lopez didn't force the attack, but passed the ball to his younger brother.

With his brother's super scoring ability, Robin Lopez is doing dirty work such as defense and rebounding. Robin has always been easy to overlook under Brook's light, especially his very good turnaround fadeaway jumper.

After Robin received the ball, Asakin immediately stuck to him. He knew that Robin Lopez's biggest shortcoming was his lack of strength. As long as he held on tightly, this guy would not get a chance.

But Robin didn't intend to go under the basket at all. He held the ball and shook his shoulder to the right. The opponent other than Asakin immediately moved a small step when he wanted to break through. After Robin found that the "wall" behind him was a bit off, he immediately turned to the left and faced the basket. After taking off, Robin Lopez leaned back slightly, and Asakin had no way to interfere with the opponent's shooting.

"Swipe." Robin Lopez's fallback jumper in the penalty area went into the net. After scoring the goal, Robin hooked his fingers at Anjie and Asakin. My brother is indeed very strong, but that doesn't mean you can underestimate the power of my little brother.

Ricard didn't care about Robin's goal. Asakin would not be beaten by Robin all the time, and the same trick would not be used a few times. The victory or defeat of the inside still lies with Anjie and Brook, and he doesn't have to worry about the others.

Asakin's task is to assist An Jie as much as possible, so that the opponent's twin towers will not play too easily inside. He only needs to do this, and the task of defeating these two brothers should be handed over to An Jie.

After that, the whirlwind team's offense was not handed over to the inside line, which was all arranged by Ricard. The first attack must be handed over to the inside line, and then proceed as usual. An Jie is not a stand-up center, on the contrary, he is more capable of creating scoring opportunities on the move.

The high pick-and-roll is the easiest and most efficient offensive method for the Cyclones.

"I'll go out with you, brother, you guard the penalty area." Robin took the initiative to apply to go out to defend An Jie, who was raised to a high position, and wanted to lure Brook out? not that simple!

After the pick-and-roll, Anjie didn't roll down aggressively as usual, nor did he retreat to prepare to shoot. He just froze in place, this attack has nothing to do with him. Anjie wants to use Stanford University's emphasis on himself to create opportunities for his teammates.

While everyone was watching what An Jie would do, Mike Taylor had already broken through to a position only three meters away from the basket.

"What!?" Brook couldn't care about Asakin who was still behind him, he opened his arms and rushed towards Mike Taylor.

Mike Taylor knew that ordinary shots would only be blocked by the big man in front of him, so he had to use a drop shot that he didn't usually use often. Infrequent use does not mean that Mike Taylor is not good at it. He gently threw the ball to the basket. Brook Lopez took off with all his strength, but the basketball still flew past his fingertips.

Asakin blocked a favorable rebound position, but the ball went in after two bounces on the rim.

"Mike Taylor's strong response! He refused to give up the game to these big men, and he reminded everyone that he is one of the players in the Cyclones!"

"Good job." An Jie touched Mike Taylor's head like a child, and Mike Taylor smiled happily under An Jie's armpit. This team has nothing to grab or not to grab, and there is no team leader. Everyone is willing to sacrifice their own glory for the team, and everyone is moving forward for victory.

"Under the hype of the media, we seem to have forgotten what has supported the Cyclones to the present. It is the integrity! Anjie will not blindly fight with the Lopez brothers. As long as the team needs him, he is even willing to become A blue-collar player."

However, Ricard would not be so extravagant to let Anjie just be a blue-collar player. In this game, Anjie will be his last hole card, but it is not yet time to show it.

The subsequent games were much duller than the beginning, and people did not see the expected center battle anymore. Mike Taylor is obviously the first point of attack for the Cyclones in this game. On the offensive end, Anjie is not only a pick-and-roll but also a containment. He has not attacked independently for a long time.

But even if Anjie did not attack again, Brook Lopez was not idle. Taylor intentionally reduced the number of mid-range shots he made today, but the number of times he hit the penalty area was significantly more than before. No matter what method he used, Brook Lopez had to respond.

"Do you want to use the guard to consume Brook first?" Larry Myers, the coach of the Stanford Crimson team, touched the stubble on his chin.

During a dead ball, the fans saw Coach Myers was about to put on a substitute player, but this guy... was a center! ?

"Coach Myers replaced Brook Lopez!? Brook was asking the referee if he got the wrong number. Even he himself didn't believe that he would be replaced so early." Paul Philips looked at himself in surprise Brook Lopez wasn't hurt by all that happened under his nose, right?

"Coach, this..."

Before Brook Lopez could finish speaking, the white-haired Miles motioned for Lopez to sit beside him.

"The opponent wants to use the defender's impact to consume your energy. I just temporarily replace you to protect. Don't worry, your brother will withstand the pressure of the penalty area. After the Chinese in the Cyclone team starts to get tired, I will put you back You put it on the field and you can do whatever you want in the penalty area?"

"But..." Brook Lopez was not afraid to confront that Asian head-on right now.

"Stop talking, you are my head star, and I will definitely give full play to your power." Fans want to watch the duel between two powerful centers. The team wins, and in order to achieve this goal, he will not consider that the fans will not enjoy watching it.

Hearing this, Brook Lopez couldn't say anything more. Coach Larry Myers has never treated him badly, and he has absolute trust in himself. Today, it's time for him to trust his own coach again.

An Jie was also very surprised to see Brook Lopez off the court. But no matter what the opponent's purpose is, he must seize the opportunity now. Robin Lopez? An Jie has plenty of ways to deal with him.

Anjie's performance immediately changed 180 degrees from just now, and he became active on the offensive end. Facing Robin Lopez's defense, An Jie was obviously much calmer. Although Robin had the same height as his twin brother, his strength and footsteps were far inferior to Brook's.

Watching Anjie score again and again on the court, Brook clenched his fists off the court. He cast his eyes on his coach more than once, but Larry Myers still observed the situation on the court calmly and calmly, and had no intention of changing players.

An exasperated Robin Lopez yelled the name of point guard Kelly Foster and motioned for him to pass the ball to him. However, after receiving the ball this time, he did not face Asakin again, and the person defending him became An Jie.

"The result is the same if you come here!" Robin said to himself in his heart, he pushed in a few times, but the effect was not good.

Shake your shoulders! Robin Lopez decided to do it again.

"Stinky boy!" Seeing that Robin was about to shoot like this, Brook secretly yelled inwardly.

An Jie didn't take advantage of Robin Lopez's fake moves at all. He himself especially liked the shot with his shoulders swaying behind him, and An Jie knew the tricks in it very well.

Robin still leaned back slightly after taking off, but he obviously found that the Chinese had a much larger defensive range than Asakin.

Robin Lopez still successfully shot the ball, but the ball was blocked by An Jie's outstretched palm just after it flew out. Robin, the leader of the Pacific Ten League in blocks, was taken by An Jie first.

Robin immediately picked up his blocked ball, but facing An Jie's pressure, he had no choice but to pass the ball out.

"Coach!" Brooke was really anxious.

"Don't worry, your brother is a smart guy, he won't keep making mistakes like this." Before the time came, Miles had to stabilize himself first.

Rickard also saw Stanford University's motivation for this substitution. He wanted to use Mike Taylor to consume Brook Lopez and then use Anjie to complete the final blow. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the opponent was consuming him. up.

But facing such a giant, he couldn't miss any chance to score, so he didn't replace Anjie but continued to keep him on the court. That old white-haired Larry was a real wily fellow.

Without Brook's support, the giants Stanford University is now 4 points behind the Cyclones. Robin Lopez's performance on the court is quite satisfactory, but he still can't stop Anjie from scoring. But it is not an easy task to fight against Robin. Finally it was time to use the rotation lineup. Looking at Anjie's sweaty head and heaving chest, Larry knew that Anjie had been consumed by Robin.

"Brooke, let me vent all your strength!" Larry Miles waved his hand, and finally released the hungry beast.

"Anjie, are you okay?" Rickard knew that if Anjie went off the field, the Cyclones would be equivalent to giving up the penalty area to the opponent.

"I can still play, let me play with the second team." It is absolutely impossible for An Jie to back down. There is no easy game to play in March Madness.

"Coach Rickard replaced four starters, but Anjie remained on the court! Coach Larry Myers at Stanford University finally brought Brook Lopez up. The fans are excited again Get up, we may feast our eyes on the next game!"

"Don't blame me for being invincible, the Chinese." Brook Lopez stretched his muscles and bones, and he was uncomfortable enough off the court.

An Jie took a few deep breaths to calm down his breathing rate a little. He didn't forget the scene when he played against Brook Lopez a few minutes ago. Now this guy has a higher desire to attack than before, and he must do his best.

Sure enough, Brook Lopez rushed to the basket after giving his teammate a pick-and-roll. His first task was to score!

An Jie followed closely, not daring to give Brook any more space. Seeing the opponent's point guard pass the ball into the penalty area, An Jie's nerves tensed up.

The pass was a bit off, and An Jie reached out to directly destroy the pass. He just stretched out his arm, only to find that Brook also stretched out his hand and got entangled with himself. An Jie's physical strength has declined significantly, but Brook is full of physical strength at this time. He suppressed An Jie's arm with his advantage in strength, and he just caught the ball. An Jie was staggered by Brook and lost his defensive position.

Hit the ground, keep your hands long, take off with your feet, and hang on the frame vigorously. Brook Lopez tore at the rim with all his might. A lightning-fast attack, a rock-shattering dunk, and a silent declaration of war.

An Jie moved his aching arm, and he gritted his teeth. This opponent is really under pressure.
