The Way of the Center

In the o3-o4 season, the Pistons, who defeated the Lakers 4-1 in the finals, were definitely one of Anjie's favorite teams. E novel www. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

The iron-blooded defense and team-oriented philosophy of the Pistons are very similar to Anjie's understanding of basketball. Maybe people think that the Pistons of that year were veritable "grassroots champions", but in Anjie's view, all of the five Pistons of that year were actually superstars!

But the only connection between the current Detroit Pistons and the championship team that year may be the team name.

Their traditional iron and blood defense is gone, and their excellent teamwork is also very rusty. For so many years after winning the championship, the Pistons have no upward shadow at all except chaos.

Larry Brown was dissatisfied with his status and left. Ben Wallace, who won the best defensive player 4 times in 5 years, completely split with the team. Billups to Nuggets, Hamilton and Prince's aging...  

Everything that happened in the past few years made the Pistons, a team full of hope, have to be completely overthrown and rebuilt. After several years of unsatisfactory results, the performance of the Pistons this year finally gave people a glimmer of hope.

Ranked ninth in the East, only 4 wins away from the 76ers who are eighth in the East. The Pistons' dream of returning to the playoffs is now so close to them. At this time, if anyone dares to stop them, no matter who it is, the Pistons will rise up and resist.

The sudden improvement of the Pistons is inseparable from the great progress of the young players. Greg Monroe, the No. 7 rookie in 2010, seems to be the next leader candidate of the Pistons. In his rookie season, he averaged only 9.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. However, after only one season, Monroe's data suddenly rose to 15.4 points and 9.7 rebounds! This kind of progress is absolutely huge.

This black insider does not rely on his body to play. Like Anjie, he speaks more with his solid skills. Therefore, the duel between him and An Jie today should also be very exciting.

Another soul of the Pistons is Rodney Stuckey. This guy has been an indispensable output point for the Pistons for several seasons. His performance this season is also stable, averaging nearly 15 points per game for the team. For Felton, the impact of this guy is also not to be underestimated.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, the Trail Blazers felt the determination of the Pistons to fight to the death or to live. There is only one step away from the playoffs, and they don't want to stumble on this last step. Even if it is the Trail Blazers, the Pistons will do their best to defeat them.

However, the first difficult person in this game is not Monroe, nor Stuckey. But it has gradually faded out of people's sight.

This match gave Gerald Wallace a badass Tyshawn Prince.

Just after the start of the game, Prince scored two points with a turnaround jumper behind Gerald Wallace. Wallace didn't intend to fight Prince at all. He thought that the old guy was just a transition, and he would definitely pass the ball in the end.

But Wallace paid a price for his idea. If anyone in this Pistons team most wants to return to the playoffs, it must be Prince who has experienced glory in the past!

Now he is full of energy, thinking that when he won the championship, most people in this stadium didn't know where to hang out!

So Prince used practical actions to teach Gerald Wallace, a newcomer, a hard lesson. He is indeed old, but not useless!

The first offense of the Pistons relied on Prince's low-post ability, and the first offense of the Trail Blazers relied on Anjie's low-post ability.

Like most rookie players, Monroe had only heard of The Butcher when they first entered the league, and because of Anjie's injury, they never played against this guy who only existed in stories.

But now, Monroe is finally convinced that those stories are true and unadulterated. Every rookie insider will be nervous before facing Anjie, and will be desperate afterward.

Monroe, who is 2.11 meters tall, is more suitable to play a power forward, but his inside partner is the shorter pocket insider Jason Maxhill who is only 2 meters 01. So Monroe had to withstand the pressure and was referred to the fifth position by Pistons coach Lawrence Frank.

Facing others, it may be understandable for Monroe to play the fifth position. But facing An Jie, who is 2.19 meters tall, Monroe's disadvantages are infinitely magnified.

When Anjie asked for the ball with his back turned to him, Monroe felt that what was in front of him was a high wall. The only thing he could do was hold An Jie's waist and push it out as hard as he could. Otherwise, he can't do anything!

Monroe's technology may be worthy of recognition, but the strength really needs to be strengthened. An Jie even felt that this young guy's strength was not as strong as that "old man" Garnett.

An Jie easily leaned on Monroe to receive the basketball lobped from the outside, and used a simple back hit to push the back hook, scoring two points on Monroe's head.

"It's so easy. Monroe can't put pressure on Anjie at all on the defensive end." Ke Fan in the Sina live broadcast room looked at the screen and laughed. The dominance of this Chinese is not just a Monroe. can be shaken.

After Anjiewei, Aldridge also shined in the subsequent offense.

This low-key guy is one of the top offensive power forwards in the league. It's only because of Anjie's high-profile and dazzling that people often ignore Aldridge.

Facing Max Hill who was ten centimeters shorter than him today, Aldridge had no reason to restrain himself.

Maxier is very strong and plays amazingly. But his short stature and unremarkable wingspan are there. This is a fact that cannot be changed no matter how hard you work the day after tomorrow.

Aldridge just needs to wait for Anjie to open up space for himself, and then he can play with the ball behind him and turn over for a jumper.

When Aldridge shot, Max Hill did block it quickly. But his height and wingspan make it impossible for him to interfere with Aldridge's shooting rhythm.

After Anjie saw Aldridge's shot, he didn't even have the desire to grab a rebound. On the training ground, he watched Aldridge make tens of thousands of shots like this, and Anjie could judge whether he could make a goal or not just by looking at Aldridge's shots.

The basketball gracefully streaked through the air, and finally fell into the net as softly as a diver. The whole process is very pleasing to the eye, and Aldridge's shooting is so full of beauty.

The basketball scored, and the Trail Blazers used two backs, one left and one right, and one five one four, completely declaring their dominance over the inside.

In the following games, Max Hill and Monroe lived in hell. Anjie and Aldridge could attack in different ways and still score goals. What about the two insiders of the Pistons? Completely became the plaything of Anjie and Aldridge.

Fortunately, Monroe's performance on the offensive end is not bad. His air-cut running position and coping ability made Anjie look at the guy in front of him with admiration. But even so, Monroe still can't change the fact that he has been blown up.

However, the turning point of the game came after the Trail Blazers second team played. Courtney Lee and Jamal Crawford's "strikes" today gave the Pistons a glimmer of hope. Camby's slow pace also gave Monroe more living space.

The advantages established by Anjie, Aldridge and others were lost by the second team of the Trail Blazers.

Afterwards, the entire game proceeded at this rhythm. With Ainger and Aldridge on the court, the Pistons were desperate. But when the Trail Blazers' second team came on the field, the Pistons saw hope.

In order to limit Anjie, Lawrence Franca even tried to replace the 38-year-old "senior" Ben Wallace. The attitude and experience of this once brilliant best defensive player is indeed still there, but his body and strength really can't keep up.

It was even easier for An Jie to fight him than to fight Monroe. As long as he breaks through quickly with his own speed, Ben Wallace will only be dumbfounded.

In the end, the speed at which the Trail Blazers' second team dug holes was still not as fast as that of Anjie and Aldridge. 80 to 87, the Trail Blazers defeated the Pistons at home and won nine consecutive victories!

Tyshawn Prince scored 23 points like a flashback in this game, but Anjie's 31 points and Aldridge's 27 points still made the veteran's wish come true.

The Pistons hope that they can return to the ranks of the playoffs, and the Blazers also do not want to overturn the gutter in the last month or so.

The more powerful Blazers won the victory without any risk, and Greg Monroe will become the next guy to tell Anjie's amazing story.

Defeat the Pistons, this is what the Trail Blazers plan. Now Anjie is only one step away from his first ten-game winning streak in the Trail Blazers, and the Milwaukee Bucks are also preparing for a desperate fight at home.

Like the Pistons, the Bucks also have a chance to return to the playoffs this year. The brilliant Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, who was transferred from the Warriors, gave the Bucks a full offensive backcourt.

Although Jennings and Ellis are the kind of special self-players, their cooperation on the basketball court is rare, but even so, the firepower of the Bucks' pair of guns is also not to be underestimated.

However, what everyone in the Bucks never expected is that the Trail Blazers, who use the inside offense as the main scoring method, today's outside offense is full of firepower!

Milwaukee fans are even wondering, whose home field is this? You know, the Trail Blazers have never been so accurate in the Rose Garden Stadium!

The temptation of the ten-game winning streak not only attracted An Jie, but now, the entire Trail Blazers players are willing to work hard for this honor that is within reach.

Wesley Matthews cast the rebellious Monta Ellis as a sieve. Ellis's very unserious attitude on the defensive end also attracted Bucks coach Scott Skiles to play roar.

5 of 7, this is Matthews' three-point shooting percentage today. In addition to him, Raymond Felton also used his stronger body to beat Jennings out of his temper.

With Anjie's containment and pick-and-roll, Felton's breakthrough is simply within reach. Jennings is not slower than Felton at all, but his thin body is not enough compared with "Felton".

The swing of these two guys alone is enough to make the Bucks drink a pot. However, Anjie and Aldridge will not let it go.

Drew Gooden and Eisen Ilyasova, two space-based insiders with a soft style of play, can't stop Anjie and Aldridge's rampant footsteps at all.

After Aldridge and Anjie continued their strength in the previous game, they continued to maintain their high efficiency in this game. Anjie scored 30 points and Aldridge scored 25 points. These two guys made the Bucks fans live in dire straits, and faced with this situation, the Bucks couldn't do anything about it.

Ellis and Jennings may be very good defenders individually, but forcing the two together may have been a mistake from the beginning.

The two guys went back and forth and shot like crazy, as if they were competing against each other, not the Blazers.

These two people naturally made the Bucks' offensive efficiency very low. The Pistons still resisted to the end, and the Bucks allowed the Trail Blazers to complete the move of three quarters.

116 to 87, the Trail Blazers warmed the hearts of every Portland fan in the cold Milwaukee.

It's nothing to beat the Bucks, but the ten-game winning streak after defeating the Bucks is the real reason for the fans to cheer!

This is not the first time that Anjie has won ten consecutive victories, but this is the first time that Anjie has completed his interpretation of dominance in the Trail Blazers.

Winter in Milwaukee is so hot. Of course, this is only for the Blazers players cheering on the court.

The inner stability of Bucks fans and players is lower than the temperature outside the stadium, and this low temperature is estimated to last for a long time...
