The Way of the Center

Even though the Trail Blazers were about to face the Bulls without Rose in the next day's game, Anjie's preparations did not show any slack.

Rose, who was unfortunately injured in the playoffs last season, will miss all games in the 12-13 season. This not only cast a shadow over the career of the youngest MVP Rose, but also dealt a heavy blow to the newly emerging Bulls.

Last season, the Bulls reached the playoffs as the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference. This season, their biggest wish is just to hope that no one will be injured again on the team. Such a team is not at the same level as the up-and-coming Trail Blazers.

But in Spike Lee's camera, An Jie is still seriously training himself.

"I'm not doing this just for the next game. It's for the whole season, for my whole career." Facing Spike Lee's question, An Jie answered with a smile. This guy is never satisfied with what is in front of him, and maybe this is one of the reasons why An Jie can succeed.

On the day of the match, it was the part that Spike Lee planned to focus on shooting. Fans often only see Anjie wreaking havoc on the field, but what is he like in the locker room? What will he say on the bench? Fans want to know Anjie in all aspects, so Spike Lee will give them an all-round Anjie.

But what Spike Lee didn't expect was that he would take this picture outside the Rose Garden Stadium.

Two young men were running towards the camera talking and laughing, the tight shirts of the two tall guys were already wet with sweat. Facing the photographer, they didn't deliberately look in the direction of the camera. After all, being photographed was commonplace for these two guys.

These two tall men, one black and one yellow, jogging outside the Rose Garden in the morning are the two cornerstones of the Trail Blazers, Anjie and LaMarcus Aldridge.

"LaMarcus said that running around the rose garden in the morning before the home game will bring him good luck. So we often do this." Spike Lee's documentary will be interspersed with a lot of Angie's monologues, It's like one interview at a time. And this is An Jie's answer to Spike Lee's question "What's your purpose of running around the stadium in the morning?"

Warm up, training, rest, squabbling in the locker room. Spike Lee was greedily shooting all the images he could get, and this guy was already thinking about how to edit these images into a wonderful documentary. And Anjie is also beginning to think about how to ensure that the team will not capsize in the gutter in tonight's game.

Finally, the evening game is about to start. Before the game, Spike Lee found an interesting picture. The Trail Blazers substitute insider Meyers Leonard always practiced with Anjie a few times during the warm-up before the game. The white rookie seemed to have a lot of trust in and admiration for An Jie.

After the game started, Spike Lee's task was easy. He and the cameraman only needed to take pictures of An Jie's scenes throughout the game, and everything after that was completely done in the editing process.

But for An Jie, the hardest part of a day's work has just begun.

Although Rose is missing, the Bulls' performance this season is very tenacious. It is impossible for them, who only reached the top of the Eastern Conference in the regular season last season, to be willing to go to the lottery this season.

There are no superstars, no super scorers. Jeff Van Gundy's disciple Tom Thibodeau used his master's favorite tricks, teamwork and defense.

Noah, Boozer, Deng, Hamilton, Hinrich,

The Bulls' starting five can only be described as shabby in front of the Trail Blazers. But after the game started, the Bulls were all soldiers. Everyone could score and everyone was willing to share the ball.

All of them are full of hard work, so you don't see them as a team that has lost its star.

The defense that the Bulls are proud of has brought a lot of trouble to the Blazers. Spike Lee originally thought that An Jie would play this game easily and happily, but halfway through the first quarter, the two sides still couldn't tell which one was better.

Seeing this situation, Ricard couldn't sit still any longer. Although the Trail Blazers are not at a disadvantage now, facing a team with mediocre actual combat effectiveness, Ricard is still unwilling to see the opponent can bite the score. He needs the advantage, the kind of advantage that is built from the beginning of the game to the last moment! If the Trail Blazers fall on such a game, it is really a loss.

"Who do you think you are fighting with! Yes, Derrick Rose is indeed very important to the Bulls. But this does not mean that without Rose, the Bulls will have no power to fight back!" Ricard saw It can be seen that the subordinates who have played very smoothly this season are a little self-inflated. If it weren't for Anjie still staying awake on the court, the Bulls might be leading now.

"Okay guys, the boss is right, we shouldn't be pushed so hard by them! Come on, if we let this victory slip away, they won't agree." An Jie said, pointing He pointed to the fans in the stands of the Rose Garden.

"Good guy, people are willing to listen to him." Spike Lee naturally didn't let go of the scene just before the pause. What he didn't expect was that, as an "outsider" from a distant country, Ann could actually open up have such a high prestige. When he talks, the others are willing to listen and not interrupt. Some people may say that Nowitzki is not the same in the Mavericks? But you have to know that this is Anjie's second season after coming to the Trail Blazers.

After a timeout, Kirk Hinrich, who replaced Rose as the Bulls' No. The young Trail Blazers are nothing more than that!

Just when Hinrich was secretly admiring his team's defensive system, Lillard suddenly accelerated, and he just rushed towards Hinrich and killed him!

"Stupid boy!" Hinrich thought that Lillard was about to force his way in, so he moved his position, preparing to wait for the offensive foul to come to his door.

However, when Lillard and Hinrich were about to collide, Lillard suddenly turned to the left, and Hinrich only felt a gust of wind on his cheek. What about Lillard? Lillard has already broken through Hinrich and headed inside.

"Lillard's non-slowing change is extraordinary! Hinrich has no response! My God, this guy actually intends to use Rose's way to beat the Bulls!" Mike Breen did not expect that he has always been considered poor in physical fitness Lillard has repeatedly performed jaw-dropping performances on the court. This kind of guy was actually selected with the sixth overall pick. Mike Breen had to wonder if it was God, the old man just loved to joke with the Blazers. Once he ruined the two future pillars of the Blazers, now, he used Lillard to pay for it.

After entering the paint, Lillard has many choices. He can shoot directly or continue to go deep. Of course, breaking through and scoring is Lillard's forte.

Lillard saw that Noah and Boozer had formed a "net", ready to capture him at any time. In this case, Anjie and Aldridge must have room to make a move!

Thinking of this, Lillard jumped up suddenly. Noah thought the little guard was about to dunk, so he rushed out of the ambush circle to make up for the basket.

Unexpectedly, after Lillard stretched his body in the air, he missed the ball behind his head and gave it to Aldridge.

Aldridge didn't let the basketball stay in his hands for too long, he passed the ball as soon as he caught it, and when the camera finally stopped following the basketball, people saw An Jie who had unknowingly run out of the open space .

An open mid-range shooting opportunity, An Jie will not fail to grasp this kind of ball.

Although the Trail Blazers only scored two points for this goal, An Jie officially sounded the horn of attack.

In the subsequent games, the tenacious Bulls would never allow the Blazers to widen the point difference too much, but they could not effectively break the score. The point difference between the two teams has been circulating in the range of 5 to 8 points. Whenever the Bulls see hope, the Blazers will use their own strength to mercilessly pour cold water on them.

In fact, the Bulls' tactics are executed very well, but when neither of the tactics of the two sides can completely restrain the other, the importance of the players' personal abilities is revealed.

Whenever there is a stalemate, all the Bulls can do is barely make a shot. On the Blazers side, there are more guys who can break the deadlock.

Anjie grabbed offensive rebounds more than once to complete the second attack, and Lillard and Aldridge also frequently hit their opponents with unimaginable but finally hit shots. The Bulls are still tenacious, but tenacity alone cannot win a basketball game.

Then, "Little Potato" Nate Robinson, who was on the Bulls' bench, stood up. This "shortest slam dunk king" came from beyond the three-point line, almost helping the Bulls to overtake the score. However, when Ricard sent Iguodala to match up with Nate Robinson, this guy who was only 1.75 tall seemed to disappear. If his height was not so conspicuous, maybe the fans would have forgotten him.

The Bulls players and Thibodeau still did not give up, they have been fighting the Trail Blazers to the last moment. Especially the desperate Saburo Joakim Noah, he made An Jie make 3 turnovers in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. Anjie has always been synonymous with stable appearance. He made 3 turnovers in a single quarter, which was the first time in his career.

Even so, the Bulls, with a clear gap in hard power, still lost by a score of 94 to 102. Spike Lee hurriedly beckoned the photographers to rush up, if those reporters seized the opportunity, many precious shots would not be captured.

In the locker room after the game, the atmosphere was much calmer than Spike Lee had imagined. The Trail Blazers are very young, and even their coach is a young coach. So Lee thought their locker room would be very lively. In fact, before the game started, the locker room was indeed very lively.

It's just that after the game, everyone is very tired. And the victory of this game was completely expected. If we lose, the locker room will be noisier.

In the first game after the suspension, An Jie let out all the strength he had held back for a long time. 33 points and 16 rebounds, this data is enough for him to occupy the headlines of major sports newspapers. At the same time, the filming of Spike Lee was officially on track.

The bull is only the first step, to show a real Anjie to the world. The observation of a game is far from enough.
