The Way of the Center

Everyone was immersed in Anjie's wonderful performance and couldn't extricate themselves, such as tough post-up singles, beautiful turn and breakthrough, smooth and dreamy dance steps, and an extremely precise layup at the last moment. E Ω small "say Ww" W. ┡1XIAOSHUO. COM All of these, An Jie dedicated them all to the audience with only one attack.

But only Ricard and An Jie knew that what they did was no different from before. The only difference is Marc Gasol, whose strength and speed have been weakened by a large arc, but he doesn't know it.

Anyone who confronts An Jie has to exert several times more physical strength than others. And Marc Gasol's physical strength is one of his weaknesses.

Ricard knew that it would be very, very difficult for Anjie to completely defeat the energetic Marc Gasol. But now, he helped An Jie find a breakthrough.

Afterwards, Anjie still spared no effort to smash to death with Marc Gasol. It is even more difficult for Gasol to score badly, and it is not so easy for him to foul Anjie now.

On the other hand, An Jie, after the last attack was successful, An Jie played more and more smoothly.

Gasol found that Anjie seemed to be getting stronger and faster. He didn't know, in fact, he was getting slower and slower...

Lionel Hollins looked at Anjie in disbelief, at the No. 0 center of the Trail Blazers. He has coached the Grizzlies for so long, and he rarely sees any insider who can beat Marc Gasol so embarrassingly. Even Dwight Howard, who was once invincible, can't do whatever he wants in front of Gasol.

But Anjie has achieved this. It is not an exaggeration to say that Anjie's offense has beaten Marc Gasol so hard that he can't fight back.

Little Gasol's sweat beads hung on his forehead, and with a slight movement, all these beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks. His breathing became abnormally rapid and his mouth was parched. Not to mention a professional athlete, even a primary school student knows what happened to him. The answer is simple, he is tired!

Lionel Hollins seemed to see the plight of Marc Gasol. He was forced to replace Gasol Jr. early and put Marlis Speights, an inside player at the same level as Anjie, on field.

Although Speights is a very good substitute player, he still cannot replace Gasol's tactical role for the Grizzlies.

Without the Great Pyrenees, the Blazers' offense suddenly became much smoother. Zach Randolph worked very hard, but his defense was nowhere near as good as Marc Gasol's.

What about Speights? This guy is fucked by Anjeka,

It is very difficult to even move, let alone defend the restricted area. Besides, even if this insider with weak blocking ability succeeds in defending the penalty area, he can't do much.

The Trail Blazers quickly expanded their results during the period when Marc Gasol was off the court. Although the Grizzlies still have a perimeter defensive gate like Tony Allen, no matter how good he is, he can only estimate one position , Instead of leading the entire defense in the penalty area like Gasol Jr.

As Gasol watched his team fall further and further behind, his fists on the knees tightened. But the other fact is that he is really, really tired!

41 to 5o, halftime ended, the Trail Blazers still maintained the lead. Looking at the score, we can see that the offense of the two teams has been greatly hindered by the opponent's defense. It's just that the Blazers have a little advantage under An Jie's death.

Fortunately, Mike Conley and Zach Randolph performed well, otherwise the Grizzlies are not just nine points behind.

During the intermission, Grizzlies coach Hollins arranged a lot of defensive tactics against Anjie. This, of course, also includes Zach Randolph's series of defense arrangements.

But as soon as the third quarter came up, Hollins and the Grizzlies lost their minds. Because right now, An Jie didn't play at all!

An Jie's relentless active confrontation made Gasol unable to do what he wanted, so why didn't An Jie himself find it hard? After experiencing high-intensity consumption in the second quarter, Ricard must give him more rest time in the third quarter. Only in this way can Anjie completely kill the game in the fourth quarter!

In the third quarter of the game, Rickard completely pinned his hopes on the slight advantage of the nine points. For other teams, nine points are just three consecutive three-pointers. But for the Grizzlies, who have a slightly lower three-point shooting percentage, these nine points don't mean they can be chased.

As long as the nine-point advantage is not completely filled, Ricard will not replace An Jie. Because in the plan, Anjie will play almost a whole quarter in the fourth quarter! The better he rests now, the better Anjie will be in the fourth quarter.

However, the Grizzlies did not let Rickard's plan succeed. Marcus Camby may know how to defend well, but facing the fierce attack of the black and white bears, the aged Camby was losing ground. Knowing it in your head but not putting it into practice cannot stop Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph.

For the Trail Blazers, due to Marcus Camby's lack of offensive ability, Gasol Jr. can also put more energy on Aldridge. Without Anjie's containment and assistance, Aldridge has no chance of winning against the black and white bears alone.

He performed well in the first half of the game but felt cold in the third quarter, which is the best proof of this.

The excellent performances of Raymond Felton and Wesley Matthews can only delay the score from being equalized. With the passing of the third quarter, it is not easy for Anjie to provide for the team. The nine-point advantage established was gone in an instant!

When the third quarter was about to end with just over two minutes left, the two sides drew again! And it was at this time that Ricard finally dispatched An Jie. The fourth quarter of his game has begun!

"Ahn didn't play before and we thought he was injured, but now it seems that Ahn has no problems at all. He can continue to play, let us look forward to how he will lead the Trail Blazers to bite the hard bone of the Grizzlies. "Kenny Smith was worried at first, but now, he feels that the pressure on him seems to be much lighter.

As soon as Anjie played, Lionel Hollins also sent Marc Gasol up. Gasol just had a short rest, but now, he must bear the brunt and become the sharpest minion of the Grizzlies!

As in the second quarter, Anjie failed to make a hit in the first two attacks, but he spared no effort to fight against Mark.

The confrontation between these two guys is simply a feast for the eyes of the fans, with fierce collisions, superb footsteps, soft hooks, and tough dunks! But among them, An Jie has always been the one with the upper hand.

Except for the first two missed goals, An Jie seized the next three scoring opportunities. Little Gasol's problem is nothing else, it is still a problem with his physical strength.

But fortunately, the referee's whistle saved Marc Gasol from the dire straits. At the end of the third quarter, he got a chance to breathe. If I get tired, so will An Jie! Gasol didn't believe that Anjie could still fight him vigorously in the fourth quarter!

71 to 75, if Anjie hadn't come to the rescue in the last two minutes, the Grizzlies would have tied the point difference long ago.

Now, the core centers of both sides are waiting for an opportunity. As long as he catches this opportunity, one of them will suddenly explode, defeating his opponent in one fell swoop.

Now, it depends on both sides who are both tired enough, who will collapse first.

"Damn, Marc Gasol, this guy is so fucking difficult!" An Jie frowned, and he had already put the wet towel on the back of the bench. The towel wiped all the sweat off An Jie's body, and he believed that the towel would definitely be wrung out to get water out.

"Hold on to Ann! It's the last quarter, and this is the only way to restrain Mark!" Ricard kept encouraging Anjie, and he had to admit that Gasol's willpower was indeed out of control. The imagination of Anjie and Ricard.

"LaMarcus, I need you to spread out more later! Please, please don't let Randolph mess up the game. If you spread out enough, I can also have another pass option." After Rickard finished speaking, An Jie also gestured to Aldridge on the side.

"Zach! Move more aggressively when attacking. No matter how powerful Anna is, it's impossible for two people to fight us!" On the other side, Marc Gasol was also discussing with Zach Randolph. Countermeasures.

These two guys knew that the decisive battle in the last quarter was not only about who was stronger between the two, but about the victory or defeat of the team!

They cannot fight alone, they must unite with their teammates in order to perform at their best.

"Ann, remember! Physical confrontation, take the initiative to seek physical confrontation!" As soon as Ricard finished speaking, the referee began to urge the players to reappear. He knew that An Jie was working very hard now, but Ricard, who had coached An Jie since college, believed that it was impossible for An Jie to be knocked down before his opponent!

This is destined to be a tug-of-war between big men, and this long and difficult battle will finally enter the moment of decisive battle.

Whether it is against Marc Gasol or Angie, they will definitely have a very difficult time in the last twelve minutes. But it is this most difficult time that can compare with a real strong man.

Little Gasol struggled to stand up, but someone beside him suddenly helped him. He turned his head and looked at Zach Randolph, the former king of "tumor", nodded vigorously at himself.

Gasol regained his senses and looked forward, Tony Allen was patting his sore arms. In the fourth quarter, he will defend Wesley Matthews with excellent touch. Allen hopes that he can completely block the opponent's outside attack.

Next to Tony Allen, Conley and Guy exchanged countermeasures with their waists up. These two people always bring surprises to the team, after all, they used to be the owners of Memphis...

On the other side, after An Jie stood up, he reached out and patted Aldridge's chest habitually. The low-key Aldridge did nothing but answered Anjie with a short but reassuring word, "ok".

Raymond Felton pursed his dry lips. Even though he had already drank a lot of Gatorade, it was becoming more and more difficult for him to bite down this high-intensity game as he got older.

Wesley Matthews patted Felton on the back. The combination of these two guards may not be noticeable under the light of Anjie. But the Trail Blazers' excellent third place performance in the Western Conference this year is inseparable from the tacit cooperation between these two guys.

Gerald Wallace took a deep breath, closed his eyes and silently recited the prayer. Perhaps, that lung injury turned him from a potential superstar to an ordinary player, but this guy who is second only to Anjie in diligence will not compromise with fate so easily!

An Jie and Gasol took all the actions of their teammates into their eyes. With the company of these guys, there was nothing they couldn't survive the tough game in the fourth quarter!

The five people on both sides looked at each other for a second, and after that, they strode into the court!

The balance of victory and defeat will be tilted from now on.
