The Way of the Center
Chapter 386: The Gap Shortens Progressive Time
The noisy Staples is still very lively, but this time, it is not just the Lakers who bring visual enjoyment to Los Angeles fans on the stage of the playoffs. EΩΔ┡ Xiao』Δ说Ww』W.ん1XIAOSHUO. COM
Every Clippers fan had a happy smile on his face, and countless bars in Los Angeles toasted for the Clippers' big lead. The Los Angeles playoffs are finally no longer a stage for the Lakers alone. Chris Paul and Griffin worked together to destroy the Blazers in the first quarter!
Losing two games in a row in Portland at the beginning, the Clippers fans had already held their breath in their hearts. Now, they finally found a chance to vent.
All kinds of swear words sounded behind Anjie and the others, but the Trail Blazers players didn't even bother to listen or get angry. Because Ricard, who was flushed with anger in front of them, shouted louder and scarier than the fans in the auditorium!
"What the hell are you all doing!? What did I tell you during training yesterday and just before playing!? Hold on! I told you to hold on to the rhythm no matter what! But now? You are being fastened The fleet leads by the nose!" Ricard may be very easy-going at ordinary times, but once he gets angry, his roar is unambiguous.
Sure enough, the Blazers players all lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to look at Ricard's face that became extremely fierce because of his anger.
The Trail Blazers do not have a thorn like Rondo, so it is normal that no one contradicts Ricard. However, the reason why they are silent is more because the players are also very dissatisfied with their performance. They know they screwed everything up. Looking at the point difference, the absolute loyalty reflects the performance of the two sides in the first quarter of the game.
"Playing fast, can you beat Chris Paul and Blake Griffin!? I'll say it again, no matter what, no matter what the situation is, you should always fight me. Play in the rhythm!" Ricard did not temporarily change his tactics because the team fell behind by a large score. His emphasis is the same as before, and he still asks the players to calm down and play slowly.
But now 13 points behind, who still has the mood to grind slowly? Most people hope to tie the score as soon as possible. But the more you think about it, the more the Clippers will be able to speed up the pace.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Ricard did not let Anjie play. He knew that in the face of such a big point difference, the Trail Blazers must have experienced a hard fight today. Therefore, Anjie's task in the second half will be even heavier. In order to allow Anjie to bite the game in the second half, Ricard had to shorten his playing time in the second quarter.
In this way, Anjie will not be able to help the team control the rhythm on the court. Therefore, after the impatient Trail Blazers played in the second quarter, they still played in a mess.
Jamal Crawford just wanted to tie the game,
So he goes crazy fast. But unfortunately, today does not belong to Crawford. Maybe occasionally he can perform like a superstar, but today's Jamal Crawford is just an ordinary substitute.
After that, the Trail Blazers fell directly into a scoring drought. Crawford and Felton's three consecutive attacks were fruitless, allowing Paul and Griffin to seize the opportunity and expand the point difference to 19 points! Rickard really can't criticize everyone on the field severely now, but he knows that doing so is useless.
Now there are still 6 minutes before the end of the second quarter, Ricard looked at Anjie and decided to bring him up later.
So for the next few minutes, Ricard was very annoyed. He now only hopes that Aldridge can use his scoring ability to prevent the point difference from expanding as much as possible.
5 minutes, 4 minutes, 3 and a half minutes... When the second quarter was about to end with three minutes left, Ricard finally used up his last timeout in this quarter.
"You guys are playing like shit! 20 points, congratulations, you have successfully trailed the Clippers by 20 points in Los Angeles!" Ricard's tone was not as scary as before, but his sarcasm made the players They missed those roars even more.
Ricard was very disappointed, this was written on his face without reservation.
"Next, I'm going to let Ann start the offense. All of you, you have to adjust yourself to Ann's rhythm. Felton, remember your cooperation with Ann on the training ground. Use it, I call you Training is not for fun!" Ricard pinned all his hopes on An Jie. The point difference was widened to 20. If Anjie couldn't recover in time during this period, the Blazers would not be far from losing.
Seeing Anjie come back after the timeout, Staples' boos increased several times in an instant. And DeAndre Jordan, who also just came back, is gearing up, ready to confront An Jie again.
"Raymond! Don't rush forward, take your time, I'll pick and roll for you!" Before hitting the baseline, Anjie specially instructed Felton.
Felton nodded lightly. Although he is the team's point guard, Anjie is the leader of the entire team! Be the real commander of all the pioneers!
So after getting the ball, he was not impatient in the face of the 20-point difference, but gestured while dribbling the ball, signaling his teammates to quickly take their positions.
"Oh? Now that the point difference between the two teams has become 20 points, the Trail Blazers are not in a hurry." Kenny Smith looked at the picture in front of him in confusion. With such a slow pace, the Trail Blazers had to catch up. When will the score be evened.
With this question in mind, Kenny Smith watched the game seriously. What unusual methods did George Ricard and An Jie find to chase points?
But when Anjie and Felton played the first match, all the guys who were looking forward to it were disappointed.
Angie just used an ordinary pick-and-roll, and let Felton pass him a breakthrough ball again.
After getting the ball, Anjie didn't shoot directly as he did at the beginning. He left his heels off the ground, tricked Paul with a shooting fake, and suddenly broke through with heavy shoulders!
Chris Paul was about to reach out to steal it, but Anjie, who was careful, made Paul's wish come true. Paul's fast hands that are good at stealing did not touch the basketball, but hit An Jie's palm solidly. After hearing the sound, the referee immediately called Paul a thug foul!
However, fans and players of the Clippers, even the coach Pooh De Nagro, did not take Anjie's score seriously. Because even if Anjie made two free throws, the Clippers still held an 18-point advantage.
"Relying on this simple tactic, is it like recovering from the decline? George Ricard, maybe I think highly of you." After watching Anjie's first attack on the field, De Nagro felt his heart There is a new evaluation of Ricard.
They didn't know that this silent response was a signal that the Trail Blazers were preparing to counterattack!
On the defensive end, An Jie took command again. His roar always rings in the ears of the Clippers players from time to time.
As for the other four, they adjusted their defensive strategies in time based entirely on An Jie's yelling.
Paul and Griffin can still continue to score, but the efficiency of these two is not as high as before.
As for the Trail Blazers, all offenses started after Anjie and Felton's pick-and-roll. With An Jie holding the ball, the others couldn't get up even if they wanted to go fast.
An Jie also knows, although the team is far behind now. But Ricard's insistence on letting the team slow down must have his reasons.
So next, the Trail Blazers used efficient offenses again and again to gradually shorten the score.
Little Jordan, who was gearing up just now, now finds that An Jie is simply too difficult to deal with after falling into the position. He can turn over and hit a jumper without making a move.
When you guard his jumper, he will use a sudden big hook to make you angry.
When you are ready to block all his shots, Anjie will use a quick breakthrough to tell you what it means to be comprehensive...
If your defense is good enough, then congratulations, you will have the honor to watch Anjie's superb passing skills like a defender at close range.
Little Jordan can't stop An Jie who is playing slowly, because now An Jie will definitely not make a move if he is not sure.
18, 16, 15, 13, 12... As the second quarter progressed, the two sides were just opened up for a short time, and then they moved closer again.
De Nagro couldn't have imagined that an Anjie would make his team misfire!
"Keep mentioning, mentioning!" Don't die, Denagro really doesn't die. He no longer cared if the team still had a second half to play, he only knew that now he had to suppress An Jie's momentum!
Paul took a deep breath, and then began to control the ball and run around the court again. But the Trail Blazers' half-court pressing defense forced Paul to slow his pace.
With Paul's delay, the running positions of the other Clippers players were all messed up. The orderly tactical coordination just now disappeared without a trace.
In other words, Paul was once again isolated!
At the last moment, Paul knocked out the three-pointer against the defensive shot. Anjie grabbed the offensive rebound, and Crawford, who came off the bench, rushed to prepare for a fast break.
But An Jie, who got the ball, just pressed his palm and signaled his teammates to continue to press the rhythm!
As a result, the Clippers, who were nervous to return to defense, did not welcome the Blazers' fast break in the end, but Anjie, who came for positional warfare, was more torturous than fast break!
At this time, there are only 25 seconds left before the end of the third quarter. This will also be An Jie's last attack.
DeAndre Jordan realized that he had to go all out to defeat An Jie. So this round, his defense was extremely fierce!
An Jie discovered that the person behind him was not a person at all, but a steel plate! No matter how hard you try, you can't change his form.
DeAndre Jordan is very proud. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before An Jie is locked up!
Unexpectedly, just as the last few seconds of the second quarter were about to pass, An Jie, who had his back to the basket, suddenly tossed the basketball behind his head casually, and the basketball went straight to the basket!
"This guy is crazy!" Little Jordan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he didn't look at the basket for a random backhand throw? This way of attacking the frame is not An Jie's style!
Just before everyone figured out what happened to Anjie's action just now, Jamal Crawford got rid of the entanglement of Foye, who was not fast enough, jumped hard with both legs, and then To Angie's pass!
"It's a pass! My God!" Kenny Smith almost put his face on the TV screen. With his back to the basket and not looking at the alley-oop thrown by others, if Crawford can dunk the ball, it will definitely be enough for Anjie to book the position of the top ten balls again!
After Crawford grabbed the ball, he slammed it hard, making the entire basket tremble slightly! At the same time, the whistle sounded at the end of the second quarter, and the Trail Blazers' final attack was executed very successfully!
An unbelievable pass allowed Anjie to help the team close the score again! Presumably now, sports channels all over the world are replaying the footage just now. Countless commentators were full of praise for An Jie's performance just now.
43 to 53, Anjie's fancy assists not only made him popular all over the world, but also reduced the gap between the two sides to only ten!
From 2o to 1o, only An Jie knows the hardships involved!
But he is not afraid of hard work, as long as he can win the game, Anjie will continue to fight the Clippers to the end!
Now the point difference is 10 points, maybe the next quarter, the Blazers can reverse the 10 points? …
Rickard is not dreaming, because An Jie in his current state cannot be stopped!
He can do alley oops with his back to the basket, and what can't a victory-hungry butcher fail to do?
