The Way of the Center

"The game is over! The San Antonio Spurs, trailing by nine points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, completed a comeback, defeated the mighty Trail Blazers, and took a 1-0 lead in the series!" The game is over, but aTT Center The atmosphere is still hot, and Kenny Smith also feels that there is still more to say. E novel WwnW. 』1XIAOSHUO. COM

"Manu Ginobili's performance today was really outstanding. He scored a team-high 26 points and sent out key assists many times. Moreover, this guy's shooting percentage is 64% today! You know what? Shaq, Ann's shooting percentage today is only 45%." For other players, 45% shooting rate can barely be regarded as a pass, but for a traditional center like Anjie, this shooting rate is only 45%. It can be described as "just".

"Ann got terribly targeted by Vicky today, and you can see he hasn't gotten over his petty fights with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. We all know it wasn't the best of An I can only hope that he can figure out what the Spurs really are." O'Neill didn't think there was anything to analyze about those statistics, Ginobili is the kind of player who is convulsive, let alone Matthews, Even Kobe may not be able to defend against the pumped Ginobili.

In other words, in the next game, if the Spurs want to continue to rely on Ginobili to win, it is no different from gambling. But the Trail Blazers are different. As long as the problems encountered by An Jie are solved, Ricard can find a reliable way to win!

"The game has only reached the second round and it is already very exciting. As the first two teams to start the second round, they really did not disappoint the fans! Well, here are Kenny Smith and Shaquille Smith. O'Neill and Charles Barkley, see you tomorrow!"

After the game, O'Neal, who was sorting out the manuscript, did not leave the studio for a long time. He always felt that the duel between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs would be just the beginning of the brutal competition in the Western Conference...

In yesterday's game, the Oklahoma City Thunder had successfully defeated the Nuggets who lacked Anthony and advanced to the second round. Peter Pan, who came for the championship, also passed the Grizzlies through hard work.

Currently, the Western Conference semifinals matchup is between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers, and the Thunder and the Lakers. No matter which two of these four teams enter the Western Conference finals, they will definitely set off a bloodbath.

Today's first matchup in the Western Conference semifinals was so intense. O'Neal couldn't believe what the next game would look like.

For the first time, he was glad that he had retired. Just thinking about this terrible competition made O'Neal feel exhausted.

O'Neill is now a commentator, and he can forget all the fierce games as soon as he gets off work. But An Jie didn't have this right, because he was the participant in this fierce fight.

After winning four games in a row in the playoffs, it was a blow to the head.

An Jie felt as if he hadn't recovered yet.

Even though they performed so well in the first three quarters, why did they collapse in the fourth quarter?

In fact, in the first three quarters, the Trail Blazers were barely able to tie with the Spurs. If Courtney Lee hadn't scored three three-pointers at the end of the third quarter, the nine-point difference would have been impossible.

But it was also because of Courtney Lee's three-pointer that the Trail Blazers had the illusion that they had the upper hand.

Duncan didn't score much in this game, only 16 points, and his efficiency was lower than that of Anjie. It's just that at the critical moment, An Jie still didn't stand up, and Courtney Lee didn't have a magical performance. Instead, Ginobili of the Spurs decided the final outcome.

Thinking about it, An Jie believed that the Spurs did not have much advantage compared to the Trail Blazers. Today, they just won one more Ginobili!

An Jie shook his head, continued to pick up the basketball, and practiced alternating hooks with left and right hands under the basket.

Is it that simple? of course not! Aldridge was at a loss when facing Diaw's defense, and Gerald Wallace was inactive when facing Leonard. Wesley Matthews' complete defeat against Gino Belgium, Felton's desperate struggle against Parker...Anjie only saw the outstanding points of the opponent, but ignored his own shortcomings. If it weren't for the Spurs' very mediocre state today, they would not only lose by 3 points.

So the confident Anjie and the Trail Blazers were "reasonably" frustrated again in the second game!

"Jamal Crawford's breakthrough is very beautiful! Maybe coach Ricard found someone who can suppress Manu Ginobili! Crawford made a layup and scored! A three-pointer! Eh? No, what the referee called was not a defensive foul by the Spurs, but an offensive foul by Jamal Crawford! The goal was invalid, and the Spurs still got the ball." Kenny Smith couldn't believe his eyes, just now The ball was indeed very beautiful, but the referee's whistle just blew.

"Damn it, you idiot!" An Jie cursed at the referee inwardly. If the three-pointer is scored, the Trail Blazers will reverse the score. But just at this juncture, the referee's whistle sounded again.

Yes, yes again, this is not the first time a referee calls the Thunder an offensive foul. The referee's whistling favors the home team, which Anjie admits, and he himself has not benefited from it. But today's situation is probably too much.

The competition between the two sides is still fierce. If there is still a gap in strength between the Clippers and the Blazers, then the Spurs are really evenly matched with the Blazers, or even stronger.

The score has been bitten to death all the time, and Anjie scored a goal with all his might, and the Spurs over there could immediately return one.

In this game, Ricard specially formulated a targeted defense for Ginobili, an old monster. Even a top point guard like Chris Paul, Ricard can restrain him. The bald man couldn't find the north.

Indeed, as far as the current situation is concerned, Ginobili's swing is indeed restricted. But another foreign guard in gdp has become a threat again.

"The pick-and-roll cooperation between Tony Parker and Duncan, I have to say that the playing styles of the Spurs and the Trail Blazers are really similar. However, the finishing ability of the Frenchman after the pick-and-roll is much better than Felton. "This is not the first time that Parker and Duncan have cooperated. In the first few pick-and-rolls, Parker used his emergency stop to get a lot of points for the Spurs.

Felton was a little too afraid of Parker's quick breakthrough, but he was thrown into a sieve after releasing Parker for a certain distance.

This time, Felton will not give Parker space. He knew that the Frenchman felt hot today, and would rather force him to give the ball to Duncan or Ginobili than let him shoot again!

Tony Parker naturally also felt Felton's changes on the defensive end. This burly point guard now squeezes very little space. Even Parker, who is feeling hot, cannot throw a basketball into the .

Seeing that Felton was pressing too hard, Parker took a step back, stopped dribbling, and planned to shoot!

Felton didn't dare to slack off, he recklessly focused on the premise, hoping to interfere with Parker's line of sight and rhythm of shots as much as possible. However, Felton waited in the air for a long time, but Tony Parker did not make a move for a long time.

"Beautiful bow move, Tony Parker easily wiped past Felton. Anne defended the basket, Parker was about to layup! No, it was a pass, the ball was given to Duncan who was now unmarked, and Duncan's 45 ° The plate is still accurate. My God, the great Frenchman, he is really a precise motive for the Spurs!" Felton did not allow Parker to score again this time, but his defense has nothing to do with success.

Tony Parker's touch was frighteningly good today. He only made 2 three-pointers and only got to the free throw line twice. However, this guy's score has already gone to 30!

He just used the opportunity to shoot from mid-range after the pick-and-roll with Duncan, which allowed him to score so many points. Ricard had to re-examine the situation and make changes to the defensive strategy during the timeout.

The Blazers' offense was still very fierce. Crawford's impact and Anjie's low-post singles made the Spurs unable to open the score for a long time. But one thing is that the leading team has always been the Spurs!

An Jie finally experienced the feelings of Griffin and Paul in his heart. No matter how hard he tried, the point difference never narrowed. When they finally restricted Ginobili and Parker, the young Leonard over there took over the banner of offense.

Although he suffered frequent setbacks on the defensive end, Anjie did not intend to give up. This time, he received a drive from Crawford in the mid-range. After receiving the ball, An Jie raised his hand immediately without even thinking about it. At the same time, Duncan, who was originally defending the penalty area, took off with all his strength, preparing to interfere with Anjie.

Like Tony Parker's ball, Anjie made a seemingly realistic shot, but it was just a feint. Even the experienced Duncan was deceived by Anjie's fake moves!

After passing Duncan and facing Boris Diaw who was defending the basket, Anjie did not have the slightest fear.

How many dunks has he dunked this season? An Jie no longer remembers. All he knew was that a mere Boris Dior couldn't stop him!

This sprint distance is a bit short, and it is impossible to stage dunks between people. An Jie only intends to use his height and wingspan advantage to force a layup. In this way, he might be able to trick a foul into a three-pointer!

As expected, An Jie collided with Dior. Although Dior was not as strong as An Jie, he still did not flinch.

In the air, both of them felt uncomfortable under the violent impact. But Anjie still held the basketball high and put it in the hoop!

"Beep beep!" The referee's urgent whistle "arrived as scheduled", and the basketball fell into the net before the whistle blew. An Jie clenched his fists, ready to shake them hard to vent his emotions. But after him, an unbelievable voice came.

"The Trail Blazers team 0 dribbled the ball into someone, an offensive foul, the goal was invalid, and the ball was exchanged!" The referee's decision made An Jie think that there was something wrong with his ears.

"What the hell are you talking about?" An Jie, who was already suffocated, couldn't restrain himself anymore. He stepped in front of the referee with a big stride, his mouth still not very clean.

"Ann! Go back!" The first person to react was Raymond Felton, who immediately stood between An Jie and the referee. Felton, nicknamed "Fatton", is indeed in good shape among defenders, but it is almost impossible for him to block An Jie.

So this scene happened on the court. Felton hugged An Jie directly, but An Jie approached the referee relentlessly. Moreover, he pointed his finger at someone's nose and cursed a lot of ugly words.

No way, the referee's whistle-blowing scale in this game is really strange. That's right, Portland is a small market. Compared to GDP, Portland's lineup is indeed too civilian. But even so, the league can't clearly favor the Spurs, it's clear that they must enter the Western Conference Finals!

The young An Jie became more and more angry, and his mouth became more and more fierce. But the unreasonable referee couldn't stand An Jie challenging his bottom line again and again.

"No, shut up." Ricard looked at the change in the referee's expression. He put his head in his hands, knowing that bad things were coming.

The referee faced An Jie, crossed one palm with the other to form a T shape, and raised it above his head.

"Technical foul, the referee gave An a technical foul!" Kenny Smith couldn't believe that An Jie also suffered from such a disadvantage.

"You're so fucking good, hurry up and get your unconscionable wages tonight!" Seeing the referee punishing him vigorously, An Jie clapped his hands sarcastically.

After experiencing such a farce, Anjie himself became more and more impatient, and the morale of the Trail Blazers became lower and lower. And the Spurs, who already had the advantage, opened up the score logically and kept the point difference until the end.

111 to 120, both sides scored very high today, and there are several players in both teams who scored high scores.

Anjie's field goal percentage has improved in this campaign, reaching 59%, and he also scored the second highest score in the game with 30 points.

However, facing the Spurs with 5 players scoring in double figures and 3 players scoring 20 points, the Trail Blazers had to swallow the bitter pill.

2 to 0, this time, the burden fell on An Jie's shoulders. Like the previous Clippers, they lost all two away games.

An Jie covered his head with a towel and walked into the locker room silently, ignoring any reporter's interview. His heart is very confused, the Trail Blazers, what's the matter?

2 to 0 behind, this may be the biggest crisis An Jie has encountered since joining the Trail Blazers.
