The Way of the Center

The third quarter was over, and even An Jie gasped for breath. ┡E Xiao Δ said Ww*W.ん1XIAOSHUO. COM The Blazers, who had been fighting back to back, were very tired. How could they know that the situation of this game would be so anxious, and the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions would be so fast.

An Jie sat on the bench and looked at the big screen. Sure enough, it was 77 to 77. Even though they fought so hard in the third quarter, the score was still tied.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a playoff-level confrontation. Although the Trail Blazers and the Knicks are not mortal enemies, but because of the relationship between the stars of the two teams, the two sides played very fiercely under the leadership of the leaders in this game.

Even Marcus Camby was infected by this atmosphere, and became serious. Then other younger guys have no reason not to work hard.

24 hours ago, Anjie and the others were still fighting the Pacers in Portland. But now, after a long-distance raid all night without a good rest, they continue to fight fiercely at Madison Square Garden, and the intensity of this game is so great.

An Jie looked around, and he found that he was not the only one whose chest was heaving violently, most of his teammates were also exhausted long ago.

There are still 12 minutes to play in the game, but the players of the Trail Blazers are already exhausted. Ricard can only pray in his heart, and pray that Mike Woodson will not discover this. If he continues to mention the Trail Blazers' physical crisis, then the Trail Blazers are likely to be dragged down alive!

"Listen, I know you guys are tired now! But in the fourth quarter, we have to pick up the tempo faster! Look at the Trail Blazers, they played back to back after an uptempo third quarter In the fourth quarter, we just need to continue to improve, and we can completely control the opponent!" However, Mike Woodson is also an nba-level head coach. Although he is not a famous coach, he is not stupid. Otherwise, it's impossible for this guy to be capable in the nba for six years.

The Trail Blazers' schedule is clear to Woodson. Flying from Portland to distant New York to play back-to-back games is something that even he can't bear. No matter how strong the players and coaches of the Trail Blazers are, they are also human beings, and as human beings, they will feel tired.

Now that the Trail Blazers are indestructible in all aspects, Woodson has no choice but to work on his physical strength.

So when the fourth quarter started and An Jie stood on the court, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

In order to keep the pace of the game accelerating, Woodson did not hesitate to send a small lineup. With Stoudemire at center, Anthony plays the four. J.R. Smith and Shumpert partnered in the backcourt, with hot-handed white shooter Steve Novak at the three.

"This season, Anthony has been pushed to the 4th position more than once. Facts have proved that when he plays the 4th position, his efficiency will be higher. The Trail Blazers are now very difficult to play. Once the Knicks start running, it will be difficult for Aldridge and Ann to keep up with the rhythm." Mike Breen could see Woodson's intentions at a glance, but he could see if he could find a solution. That's the point.

"Son of a bitch!" Rickard really admired Woodson's observation ability. In the first three quarters, this guy's arrangement brought a lot of trouble to the Blazers, but the Blazers successfully solved it all. Unexpectedly, now in the fourth quarter, Woodson has seized the most deadly point of the Trail Blazers today.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead in attacking. Now the two sides are tied, and the opponent has also come up with a targeted small lineup. The Blazers must grasp every offensive opportunity in order to prevent themselves from falling into a disadvantage.

The idea of ​​attacking the Trail Blazers this time is very clear, that is to hit Aldridge. After all, Anthony is a small forward. Facing Aldridge, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage in height.

After two or three passes, the basketball was sent into Aldridge's hands. Normally, this is a misplaced defense. But now, Anthony is playing the fourth position. He doesn't have to worry about other things, but can wholeheartedly prevent Aldridge from attacking.

Aldridge pushed in a bit, but Anthony showed up in a strong body, unmoved at all!

The strong bodies of James and Anthony can completely allow them to withstand the impact of inside players. Besides, Aldridge is not that kind of powerful insider. Although Anthony was struggling, he still held his position!

Seeing that the back shot didn't work, Aldridge decided to use his good turnaround jumper to solve the problem.

Inside, Aldridge may be fairly agile. But in Anthony's eyes, Aldridge's movements are too slow!

Aldridge just turned around and was about to raise his hand to shoot, but found that the basketball in his hand seemed to be patted and out of control!

All of Anthony's swift and decisive actions made Aldridge lose control of the ball! Immediately afterwards, Anthony suddenly activated the accelerator, picked up the basketball, and rushed towards the frontcourt crazily.

Anjie and Aldridge could only catch up from behind, until Anthony made a fast break and completed a dunk, and the two insiders of the Trail Blazers failed to catch up.

"Steal one-stop fast break! Anthony is like a fish in water in the fourth position. The fast conversion speed and the dislocation advantage of the footsteps are all the advantages that Anthony has shown in the fourth position." Mike Breen I know that due to the lack of good big men in this league, many outside players of the year dared to go inside and play wild. Today's Anthony can be regarded as one of them.

However, Brin is looking forward to what will happen if a pure and excellent insider faces an "outsider" in the three-second zone like Anthony. It's rare that a small man can really rule even the restricted area? So the picture of Anjie and Anthony on the inside has appeared in Mike Breen's mind.

"LaMarcus, next round, let's change positions!" During the baseline ball, Anjie quietly whispered a few words beside Aldridge. The Knicks dared to push an outside player to the inside. An Jie wanted to try it out. How capable is Anthony, who dared to step into his territory!

"Amare!" Anthony saw An Jie approaching him straight on the road, and shouted at Stoudemire. He hopes that his partner can help him carry Anjie. Anthony is willing to play the fourth position, but he doesn't want to be entangled with Anjie as a center.

As soon as Stoudemire started, he was entangled by Aldridge first. At this moment, An Jie's broad back was officially pressed against Anthony's chest!

"Ann leaned on Anthony, oh my god, let's see what will happen in this confrontation!" Mike Brin did not expect that the picture he had just imagined would become reality so quickly. Come on, Ann, tell the world that the position of center forward is still the ruler of the restricted area!

"Fuck it!" Anthony clenched his teeth. Anjie's impact was unmatched by Aldridge. Now An Jie is just asking for a position, and he has already bumped Anthony into misery.

Felton naturally saw the dislocation of the inside line. He used his strong body to break into the three-point line. J.R. Smith was afraid that he would be called for a blocking foul, so he left Felton a little space.

And this little space is enough for Felton who just passed the ball to Anjie.

Anthony had planned to step up suddenly before Anjie received the ball and steal the ball. But when he was about to start it, he realized that An Jie's card position completely made him unable to move!

One hand grabbed Anthony's jersey and pressed against Anthony's chest, and the other hand opened as far as possible to catch the flying basketball. An Jie didn't let Anthony take advantage of his more flexibility, but instead An Jie showed his advantages in height, wingspan and strength.

Next, An Jie began to lean in while dribbling the ball. Anthony couldn't bear such an impact at all, and the real inside melee was more difficult to deal with than he imagined!

Using his lower center of gravity and more nimble hands to steal bigs off the dribble in misplaced situations is Anthony's best solution right now. Just now Aldridge was defeated by this move.

But Anjie's ability to feel the defender's center of gravity changes is very good, and his back is like a precise machine. Whenever the defender has any thoughts, the back will feed back the information to the brain. An Jie retreated a little when Anthony was about to steal. Coupled with the advantage of his arm length, Anthony couldn't reach the ball at all!

This leader of the O3 generation was dying, but he still couldn't stop An Jie from advancing.

Anjie pushed Anthony to the basket with a back hit, and then he turned around forcefully and pinned Anthony to the outside. On the other hand, he easily took off on the spot and dunked with both hands!

After the dunk, Anjie deliberately pulled the basket. This pull made this dunk full of power and weight. Carmelo Anthony was also officially defeated by An Jie!

"This is my territory buddy! You can attack if you want, go out and shoot for me!" After scoring the goal, Anjie smiled and said this to Anthony, but there was no smile on Anthony's face.

"Haha, An Jie really lived up to the expectations of many fans. This time, the center players in the league finally felt proud!" Mike Breen also applauded An Jie in the studio. crush!

In the following games, the Knicks continued to advance even though their defense could not be guaranteed. The result of doing so is naturally that neither side can prevent the other.

No matter how Anjie and Aldridge run, they can't run the Knicks' crazy perimeter. And no matter how the Knicks score, their inside defense is also a big loophole for losing points.

The game went on minute by minute, and the score was still very anxious. But even so, Mike Woodson was not in a hurry, he knew that the person who should be in a hurry now was Ricard!

As the game progressed, the Trail Blazers' physical strength decreased, and their efficiency on the court also decreased. Finally, when the game was about to end with the last two minutes left, the Trail Blazers missed several rounds, and the Knicks seized the opportunity to reverse the score.

100 to 105, when An Jie, who had rested for less than a minute and a half, was replaced again. There were only two minutes left in the game, and the Knicks led by five points.

Anjie knew that the reason why Rickard let himself rest for a few minutes was to prepare him for the end game. And as the head star of a team, An Jie must also take on this responsibility!

"How's it going!?" Ricard patted Anjie on the back before he came on stage.

"Don't worry, boss! When I step off the field again, it will be the time for us to win!" Anjie responded loudly to the coach who trusted him, and high-fived Marcus Camby, who had tried his best and was now physically exhausted. An Jie jumped twice and stepped onto the court!

Anthony and Stoudemire stared at him for a while with extremely unfriendly eyes, but the scorching eyes could not stop An Jie's determination to win!

Since we are mortal enemies, let's fight a desperate fight between mortal enemies!

Two minutes, five points. Center, take over!
