The Way of the Center

Chris Paul couldn't believe that the Clippers, who had an advantage a minute ago, became losers a minute later. ΩE ΩΩ novel Ww%W. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

Angie once again staged a critical-time block lore, and his block against Chris Paul also directly led to Gerald Wallace's dunk.

Those who still insist on coming to Staples to watch the game today are all die-hard Clippers fans. It's just a pity that even though Kenyon Martin has mobilized everyone's emotions, even though the Clippers have done their best, they still failed to win even one game in the hands of Anjie and the Trail Blazers .

Losing the series was what was destined to happen when they fell behind 3-0. But it is indeed a pity for the Clippers players to fail to bring a playoff victory to the fans and themselves.

Chris Paul deliberately looked up at the big screen, and glanced at An Jie's data. 32 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks. When an inside player can produce such data, it is difficult for an opponent to win.

Paul lowered his head and slowly walked into the player tunnel. It's over, my first season in Los Angeles is over.

At the beginning, the nba league denied Paul's transfer to the Lakers, but Paul didn't expect that he would come to Los Angeles after a round. It's just that what he was wearing was not the shirt of the Purple and Gold Legion.

But fortunately, Griffin's performance this season, the rise of DeAndre Jordan, and the addition of Foye and Butler have all given Paul confidence in his career in Los Angeles. This is indeed the case. Under Paul's leadership, the Clippers finally returned to the playoffs after a lapse of six years.

But Chris Paul's dream ends here. Although Paul did not perform well in two games, he is still worthy of the title of winner despite his tenacity. It's just a pity that the Los Angeles Clippers just encountered one of the worst opponents.

The regular season is just a dream. Paul knows that the Clippers want to be competitive in the playoffs, and this is not enough.

Being swept out is the best proof of this.

Of course, it's not just Paul who thinks there should be some changes in the team, but also the Clippers management. After all, no matter who the opponent is, being swept 4-0 in the playoffs is still too telling.

The management will definitely not move the three central axes of Paul, Griffin and Jordan. If you want to move, let's start with the head coach...

What will happen to the Clippers as a loser,

No one cares anymore. Now all the fans only know that the Trail Blazers, who made a big hit in the regular season and "deliberately" lowered their rankings like the Spurs in the last month, completed a sweeping promotion representing a strong strength!

Really don't be fooled by the Trail Blazers' fourth place in the Western Conference, as many team coaches have said. The No. 4 Trail Blazers in the West are as dangerous as the No. 1 Spurs in the West!

An Jie had forgotten how happy he was in Los Angeles that day, and advanced to the second round of the playoffs by sweeping, which was the first time in An Jie's career.

In the Thunder before, they bumped into each other, and finally stopped in the second round. But now that it's the Trail Blazers, Anjie feels that except for the third game, the team can pass the test easily.

Is it because the current Clippers are not as strong as the Nuggets back then? Indeed, the Nuggets back then had Anthony as a top scorer, and J.R. Smith, a crazy knife who was no different from a top scorer. But the Los Angeles Clippers, who are on the road to revival, are not so vulnerable.

You know, at the end of March, the Blazers were killed by the Clippers.

Therefore, the reason why Anjie can easily popularize now is not because the opponent has become weaker, but because he has really become stronger.

After recovering from a serious injury, he moved to Portland. This was a transfer that was looked down upon by countless people at the time.

Angie, who performed poorly in the preseason, was used by the Trail Blazers as the head star. Many fans laughed out of their teeth at this news.

But now, facing the Trail Blazers who swept the Clippers and advanced to the second round, few fans dare to question this team from Portland, which has just lost two former stars, Roy and Oden.

They are now perhaps even tougher than they were in Roy's time!

Facts have proved that sometimes leaving is not a bad thing. Although the current Thunder is more than one level stronger than before, if Anjie is still in Oklahoma, the Spurs may not be ranked first in the Western Conference. But even without Van Gundy, Westbrook, Morris and Durant, Angie can create a world of his own in Portland.

Sweeping opponents in the first round of the playoffs was just the beginning.

As the first round of the playoffs draws to a close, the NBA officially announced the winners of the regular season awards in turn.

On May 2, Vicky won the Coach of the Year Award as everyone expected. Although Van Gundy performed equally well this season, it is clear that Vicky's Spurs have an advantage in performance.

Six days later, on May 8, one day after the Trail Blazers swept the Clippers, the nba's next heavyweight award will be announced soon.

Since the Spurs and the Mavericks have not yet decided the winner, the Trail Blazers, as the first team in the Western Conference, do not have any combat tasks for the time being.

So today, An Jie can finally drive his car to the rose garden in the morning sunshine, and continue his extra training plan.

Since he just came back from Los Angeles yesterday, Ricard arranged the regular training in the afternoon for the sake of the players' physical fitness.

So when An Jie stepped onto the court with a basketball in his arms, he was the only one in the training ground.

An Jie took a picture of the basketball calmly. He was used to this scene in the training ground alone. He was used to this scene as early as in college.

Knock on yourself all the time, this is the reason why Anjie has made progress step by step. But today, after two sets of shooting practice, An Jie's phone rang without warning.

"What time is it? Didn't they all call me to celebrate the victory last night?" An Jie now has goosebumps when he hears the phone ringing. Last night, An Jie answered the celebration call because he swept the Clippers to victory. Hands are so soft.

But looking at the caller ID, An Jie knew that this matter must not be simple. Because of the busy Meslav, he will not call himself early in the morning.

"What's the matter, Mr. omnipotent manager." An Jie, who had just won the game, was in a good mood, and when he answered the phone, he also greeted Moslav happily.

"I tell you some good news, you will be very happy to hear it!" As everyone knows, Moslav on the other end of the phone is more excited than An Jie who won the ball.

"I know that Nike has already transferred the money to my account. The reward for advancing to the second round of the playoffs is indeed not a small amount." As usual, the first thing An Jie saw when he turned on his phone today was Text message from Nike.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about! Defensive Player of the Year! Ann! You're the Defensive Player of the Year!" Moslav yelled into the phone, almost yelling. An Jie, on the other hand, did not take the phone away because of the loud noise coming from the earpiece. He stared blankly ahead, as if Meslav was standing in front of him.

"You scored 321 points! Overwhelming Ibaka and Howard, you became the best defensive player in the nba in the 2o11-2o12 season! Did you know? 321 points, which means that no one can compete for this award You!" Although An Jie had been selected to the best defensive first team, Moslav had long felt that An Jie was fully qualified to be the best defensive player. After all, the gold content of the latter award is much higher than the former.

However, after each selection, Anjie was only more than ten points lower than Howard, who won the Best Defensive Player award again and again. What is the concept of more than ten points? In the selection rules for the best defensive player in the nba, game commentators and sports reporters who are eligible to vote must fill in the votes for the first place, the second place for the vote and the third place for the vote on their ticket sheets. 5 points, 3 points for second and 1 point for third. The player with the most points at the end is named Defensive Player of the Year.

And the gap of more than ten points is just the gap between a few people. But this season, Anjie scored 321 points in one fell swoop, and Anjie's old teammate Serge Ibaka scored 294 points and ranked second, missing this award. Howard, who won this award for three consecutive seasons before, only scored 186 points under the pressure of Anjie and Ibaka!

In other words, Anjie not only won the best defensive player award, but also defeated Ibaka and Howard by an overwhelming advantage! His defense left a deep impression on everyone!

"Hang up on Ann first, believe me, that guy Orsi must have blown your phone!" Moslav knew that the general manager of the Trail Blazers must have known the news. In the afternoon, he will definitely hold a press conference for An Jie and present awards to An Jie!

Sure enough, as soon as An Jie hung up the phone, Orsi's call came in.

"Ann! Who were you calling just now? Hey, I have good news for you!" Orsi's excitement was no less than that of Moslav and Anjie himself.

"Come on, Mr. Orsi, just skip the previous paragraph and just tell me what time is the press conference?" An Jie had already recovered from his surprise, so he also tried to use a humorous tone. Trying to ease Orsi's emotions.

"You got it!? Great job, you did a great job! After today's training, at 5:30 in the afternoon, in the media reception room of the Rose Garden Stadium, I will personally deliver that trophy to you!" Now, This trophy representing honor is placed on Orsi's desk, and opposite him are two smiling senior nBa officials.

How long has it been since these old men came to the city of tearing? Orsi didn't know. After all, although the Trail Blazers had Roy and Oden in the past few years, their performance has been stagnant, which is very embarrassing. The last time the nba officially sent someone to Portland was when Roy won the best rookie award in 2007.

But Orsi can be sure that as long as Anjie is around, this group of guys will come to Portland more times in the future!

Best defensive player, wait, this trophy will be sent to its owner soon!
