The Way of the Center

"Consciousness is really different. E Xiao 』Ω Δ said WwΩW. 1XIAOSHUO.COM" Anjie watched Tony Allen complete the dunk, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Gerald Wallace didn't pass the ball well, Gasol had to have a strong anticipation ability to intercept the ball.

The reason why Wallace would take the pass for granted is because facing other opponents, he can always successfully pass the ball to Anjie in this way. But for the Grizzlies and Gasol Jr., this ordinary and simple cooperation really doesn't work.

It is said that the Grizzlies have a slow pace, but in a flash, they completed their first offense. In the second attempt of the Trail Blazers, Anjie decided to make himself the sharp knife that pierced the enemy's chest first!

An Jie knew that Marc Gasol, who weighed 120 kilograms and was as strong as himself, was not so easy to stand up to. An Jie's strength and body have indeed improved a lot, but he is also a human being, he is not a giant who can easily push away any opponent.

So An Jie gave up his plan to play hard in the paint. He mentioned the high position, hoping to beat the Grizzlies' defensive backbone with his faster pace!

"Ann doesn't plan to solve the problem in the low post. It's really interesting. This tough guy chooses the low post every time he attacks, but today, he intends to seek opportunities outside the three-second zone." O'Neill saw Anjie run to the high post Make the wall, fold your hands and look at it with interest.

"Do you think Ann chooses to attack from the outside because he is afraid of Gasol's inside defense?" Kenny Smith asked O'Neal a question.

"I can't rule out the possibility, but for a guy like Anjie, I think the possibility is very small." Just kidding, when O'Neal was still playing for the Suns, Anjie was not afraid to fight himself at the basket. . Now, how could he be frightened by a little Gasol.

"Ann should have thought of a better and easier solution. I have said more than once that the center forward should stay in the paint. This is an extremely wrong point of view. In the 1990s, Dameng and I They often confront each other and make breakthroughs outside the three-point line. Centers, like players in other positions, have the right to choose their own attack methods!" O'Neal knew that only the top centers would not be limited to the small three-point line. within the second zone.

Seeing An Jie run to a high position to pick and roll, Gasol Jr. followed without hesitation. Although he knew that An Jie must have his own little plan in mind, he couldn't let An Jie ignore it.

Through the pick and roll, temporarily get rid of Conley. Felton broke through only a few steps before passing the basketball back. An Jie received the basketball with a small step behind the free throw line. In front of him was Marc Gasol who was in a defensive posture. Everything is proceeding step by step, and now, finally, the most critical step has come.

"Let's,

go, an! Let's, go, an! In an instant, the fans in the Rose Garden shouted An Jie's name.

They spare no effort to cheer him on, hoping that he can fight back against Gasol Jr.

Anjie also made a three-threat move after holding the ball, but Marc Gasol remained motionless. There are countless athletic insiders in this league who hope that they can break through the defense of Gasol, a mobile fortress in Europe, but very few succeed.

Marc Gasol doesn't think that An Jie, who is not very athletic, can break through his own level. This kind of trivial skill can't make Gasol change his center of gravity!

Anjie saw that Gasol was unmoved, so he definitely didn't play tricks. He stabbed directly to the left side of Gasol Jr. Although the activation speed was far behind the lightning-fast outside lines, it was not too slow for Gasol Jr.!

However, if Gasol can be passed by Anjie in one step, then he is really sorry for the hype from the outside world. Relying on his strong defensive awareness, he predicted An Jie's breakthrough route. It is also because of this that Gasol can make up for his own shortcomings of slow movement, and complete blocking or supplementary defense in a very timely manner.

Seeing that Anjie and Sol Jr. were about to collide, many Trail Blazers fans lowered their arms that were raised high in disappointment. It seems that this time, An Jie's breakthrough will not succeed.

Even Gasol thought so in his heart. But when An Jie was about to collide with him, An Jie suddenly flashed and wiped from his right side!

"What!?" Gasol immediately turned around and chased after him. What did Anjie do just now? In the case of high movement and about to collide with the defensive player, he completed a very fast frontal change of direction!

This is not a profound breakthrough technology, many fans sitting in front of the TV can easily do it. But seeing such movements on a center, and still on a center with a height of 2.19 meters, is still surprising enough!

Yao Ming shocked the United States when he dribbled the ball behind the back and dunked through the guards. Today, Anjie's move is no less exciting than Yao Ming's one! A big center uses a defender to make extraordinary moves. Even if this kind of picture is unpretentious, it is enough to make people scream!

After Anjie broke through Gasol, Zach Randolph, who "reformed" after coming to the Grizzlies, actively returned to the defense. He didn't want to be able to block Anjie, but only wanted to be able to draw an offensive foul on Anjie.

But Anjie is not stupid, Randolph came to defend, doesn't that mean...

So at the moment Anjie was about to collide with Randolph, Anjie turned his head to Wesley Matthews, flicked his wrist, but passed the basketball to the opposite of his eyes, and was being completely missed at the moment In the hands of LaMarcus Aldridge!

Randolph rushed back immediately, but Aldridge had already shot. The stable second player of CIC will not waste this opportunity. The basketball made a hollow hit and the Trail Blazers pulled back a victory!

Although An Jie was not the terminator of the final attack, his breakthrough and wonderful pass were the two most exciting parts of this attack.

An Jie was just as he expected, like a sharp knife, piercing the enemy's chest, opening a hole for the Trail Blazers!

Anjie and Aldridge clapped tacitly, the league's most offensive inside combination is not for nothing!

For the Trail Blazers, the Grizzlies' defense is a problem. But for the Grizzlies, the offense of Anjie and Aldridge is not a troublesome problem?

But before the Trail Blazers fans were excited, the Grizzlies immediately poured cold water on them.

Gasol also likes to cruise in the middle distance when he is attacking, because he, like Anjie, has the ability to support the offense in a high position.

As soon as Gasol pulled out like this, An Jie had to follow him out of the three-second zone. As soon as An Jie exited the three-second zone, the intensity of the Blazers' interior defense immediately dropped several levels.

Mike Conley stuffed the ball into Rudy Gay's hands through the pick-and-roll. Rudy Gay tricked Gerald Wallace into shifting his center of gravity forward with a fake shot and made a breakthrough.

Gay broke through from a zero-degree angle, and the only person who could help defend was Aldridge.

Seeing Guy take off, Aldridge also followed suit. But in the air, Gay suddenly passed the ball to Randolph.

Randolph didn't waste Gay's kindness. After all, guys like Gay are rarely willing to share the ball. The fat man wearing the No. 5o jersey hopped lightly under the basket, pressed his wrist, and then used a hook to steadily score the ball.

Without Anjie's three-second zone, it is a complete opportunity for the Grizzlies! Aldridge's defense is indeed not bad, but it is only the league average. This level is not enough to stop Randolph.

After that, Anjie tried to make up the defense in the past three seconds. But Randolph is no longer the cancer in the city of tearing. His selfless sharing allowed Gasol to get several open shots.

Gasol Jr. lived up to expectations and converted all opportunities into scoring.

When Randolph was in the Trail Blazers, he was simply a character that everyone shouted and beat. But facing his old club today, he showed maturity and calmness.

When he first joined the Grizzlies, everyone thought that Randolph would continue to die in Memphis until he retired. But what was unexpected was that this fat man finally learned how to be a "star" after he changed his previous style of eating and waiting to die!

He took the lead when defending, and he rebounded even more aggressively. And the ability to handle the ball has also improved several levels compared to the previous self who only played brainless singles.

In this game, he showed his progress to the fullest. It was Randolph's selfless passes that gave Gasol the chance to start shooting.

Indeed, on the offensive end, the statistics of Gasol Jr. and Randolph are indeed not as dazzling as Angie and Aldridge, two guys who score 20 or 30 points at every turn. But the offensive level of the two of them is also not bad!

People only remember the defense of the black and white bears, but they always ignore the offense of these two technically excellent big men. Now, An Jie knew that it was impossible to strangle these two guys from the beginning!

Even if they were to be strangled to death, An Jie could only do it after observation and adjustment.

So in the subsequent games, the fans really saw a wonderful inside offensive and defensive battle.

On the offensive end, Anjie used his kaleidoscopic means to help the team score continuously, and the black and white bears also used their own defense to score wonderful goals in the paint.

Especially Gasol, facing the league's top inside defenders like Anjie, he did not show any weakness, and frequently used hooks or shots to score on Anjie's head.

Anjie has tried his best, but he can't block Gasol's shots every time. Facing this kind of inside line with good skills and soft touch, as long as you give him room to think, he may score goals. Isn't An Jie himself a center of this type?

The score between the two sides has been very anxious, until the end of the first quarter, when the second team of the two sides officially took over the game, the gap gradually appeared.

O.J. Mayo, who was once trained as a head star, has now become the "head star" on the Grizzlies bench. But even if he was pushed on the bench, the guy's own style of play still hasn't changed much.

Under his leadership, the Grizzlies second team played a mess. On the other hand, Courtney Lee, as the main scoring point of the Trail Blazers second team, failed to make two open three-pointers in a row, giving the Grizzlies some breathing time.

However, when Jamal Crawford turned on the offensive mode, the point difference was quickly opened.

Also the leader on the bench, Jamal Crawford has done much better than o.J. Mayo. He made sudden shots, beating Mayo, the 08th young man who was much more popular than An Jie back then, to the point where he couldn't find his way.

Gasol Jr. and Randolph shook their heads watching from below. Mayo is very talented, but really, he is not good at using his talent.

2o to 26, under the excellent performance of Jamal Crawford, the score was finally stretched a bit. But this does not mean that the Grizzlies cannot stand up, because so far, Gasol and Randolph have not lost to Anjie and Aldridge in the slightest!

Jamal Crawford may occasionally become a key factor in the victory of the game, but today, it is still Anjie who controls the life and death of the Trail Blazers.

How to defeat the black and white bears is the key to whether the Trail Blazers can win! Crawford is just a support, but Angie cannot rely on support to win.

Mind and body, technology and brute force. An Jie found that what he and these two guys need to do is an all-round struggle!

In the first quarter, both sides have figured out each other's fundamentals. Next, they will create one bigger trouble for each other.

The Trail Blazers are temporarily leading, but An Jie knows that he is not safe!
