The Way of the Center

"You won again, kid, but to be honest, a victory in the regular season is nothing." Garnett is an extremely face-saving guy, so after the game he wanted to congratulate Anjie without showing too much weakness.

"You know, your performance in the first half surprised me. I thought I had traveled back to five years ago." An Jie took the initiative to hug Garnett, although this guy kept making small moves on the court and kept spraying. Non-stop, although the confrontation between Anjie and Garnett on the court was extremely fierce. But An Jie knew that that was only part of the game. What he did in the game is the reason why he and Garnett admire each other.

Enemies and friends, the scene of two incompatible guys embracing after the match was naturally recorded faithfully by Spike Lee's camera.

After the game ended, the filming of Spike Lee officially ended. And this final battle really didn't disappoint Spike Lee. Although the difference in the final result between the two sides was quite large, the difference in points did not truly reflect the process of the game between the two sides.

Whether it is Pierce or Garnett, when facing the most popular group of young people, they did not flinch in the slightest. This fighting spirit is undoubtedly the reason why Celtics fans love them.

"You really did it! Hahahahaha." In the player tunnel, Fisher jumped excitedly and lay on An Jie's back. An Jie smiled all the way to the locker room with Fisher on his back.

Fisher, an old bone, usually doesn't talk much in the locker room. After all, there is some generation gap between him and most people in the locker room. But today, this guy was extremely excited. Because An Jie, in front of this experienced veteran, completed the impossible task in Fisher's view.

"Karnett won't score more than five points in the second half!" When Anjie said this, Fisher just thought it was the young man's whim. But unexpectedly, in the 24 minutes of the second half, Anjie completed the impossible task under Fischer's nose.

Garnett scored 14 points in this campaign, 12 of which came in the first half. To defend a guy who is in excellent condition and is also very aggressive in the second half to only two points, except for the peak Sharks when he was in the Lakers, Fisher has never seen a second person who can do this.

And only Anjie and Garnett know that if Anjie is willing, he can even keep Garnett from scoring two points in the second half...

26 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, a "standard" Anjie-style quasi-triple-double data, this guy's data usually does not fluctuate too much, because in this league, people who can stop Anjie have become more and more not enough......

After the game, Spike Lee said goodbye to An Jie with what he had gained these days. And An Jie also knew that when he and Spike Lee met next time, he would soon have a documentary of his own.

The double success of the business cooperation and the progress of the competition put An Jie in a very good mood. So much so that on the plane at night, An Jie couldn't sleep no matter what.

Although they beat the Celtics tonight in Boston, the Blazers will play back-to-back against the Cavaliers in Cleveland tomorrow. Therefore, Anjie and his teammates had to temporarily spend midnight on the plane. Originally, the sleeping environment was not good, and An Jie himself was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. This caused An Jie to find himself exhausted when he got up to go to training the next day!

"Oh my god, how did you become a national treasure of your country?" Aldridge saw An Jie sitting on the bed after washing up. The big dark circles under his eyes made this yellow-skinned guy look like a panda.

"My headache is killing LaMarcus, I didn't sleep well last night." An Jie stood up, but felt dizzy all over.

"It's okay, you'll be refreshed when you start training later." Aldridge smiled disapprovingly. In front of basketball, Anjie never knew what it meant to be tired.

Even An Jie himself thinks so, as soon as he gets excited after starting training, this feeling of exhaustion should be swept away. But today, an hour after the noon training started, An Jie couldn't hold on anymore.

Meyers Leonard is training with An Jie for post-ups, but today, he found that he could easily "escape" from An Jie's grasp and scored goals repeatedly.

Even so, this smart white rookie center was not complacent. He knew that he was able to score goals not because he "exploded potential" overnight, but because something must have happened to Anjie!

"What's the matter, boss?" After another easy hook hit, Leonard stopped his hands and asked with concern. "Boss", this is Leonard's new name for An Jie after An Jie was suspended for teaching Leonard on the sidelines last time.

"It's nothing, let's continue." An Jie didn't want to make his teammates worry about him before the game. He is the leader of the team. If he has any problems, the psychology of other people in the team will be greatly affected.

Another training session, this time for An Jie to attack. The power of his recoil push is still as great as ever, and Meyers Leonard is losing streak. However, from the moment he shook his shoulders, Leonard noticed something was wrong. An Jie shook his shoulders, his movements were slow and incoherent.

Sure enough, this shoulder shaking did not deceive Leonard. Leonard judged the direction of An Jie's attack and interfered in time. And the basketball thrown by An Jie also knocked out of the frame.

"Ann, go get a massage and get some sleep." Divac has observed the corner of Anjie and Leonard for a long time, and the crappy shoulder shaking just now made Divac guess Anjie's state .

"I......"

"Go, we still need you tonight." Divac patted An Jie's shoulder with a smile. Thinking that the game tonight was more important, An Jie didn't say anything more. He walked into the physical therapist obediently, and fell into a deep sleep under the relaxation of the masseur.

It was not until two hours before the evening game that Anjie was woken up by Ricard. An Jie was shocked to find that he had been sleeping until now without waking up.

An Jie started to warm up immediately when they came together. The game was about to start, and he had just woken up, so his physical condition was definitely not at its best.

"Kelly Irving, he is our only threat! Don't underestimate this second grader, he is a champion who is destined to become a superstar!" In the final tactical arrangement before the game, Ricard drew a Several big circles. Since James left, the Cavaliers have been unable to recover. Now the only thing they can look up to is Owen.

Previously, the Cavaliers had a record of 4 wins and 12 losses. Although he has the No. 1 pick, and Irving's performance is indeed good. But now if an NBA team wants to rise, it is far from enough to rely on a champion. Not surprisingly, this year's Cavaliers are still going for the No. 1 pick.

But even the weakest team has moments of outstanding performance, especially when their excellence meets Anjie's exhaustion, the effect is even more obvious!

Irving confidently controls the ball from the outside. Facing the most dazzling rookie of the season, Damian Lillard, Irving has no fear at all. He dribbles the ball fancy outside, looking for opportunities to drive.

Seeing the "Brazilian actor" Anderson Varejao come to pick and roll, Irving did not hesitate. After two consecutive dribbles, he quickly turned to the left, and he passed Lillard cleanly.

Iguodala intends to move laterally to defend Irving, but Irving's speed is so fast that he has no time to stop it.

After successfully entering the three-second zone, the only person who can stop Irving from scoring is An Jie. It stands to reason that the inside line is the strongest part of the Trail Blazers, and what the rookies are most afraid of is the restricted area guarded by Anjie.

Owen was no exception. Earlier in today's game, he didn't dare to confront An Jie head-on, until he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with An Jie today, Owen became bold and tasted the sweetness!

This time, Owen didn't feel any tension or fear in his heart. Maybe it's God's will, anyway, today, Anjie seems to have changed back to himself in his rookie season.

Accelerate, take off, layup in a physical confrontation, hit the board, the basketball goes to the net, and the Cavaliers score.

After the whole process, Owen completed it in one go. And what about Anjie? It's rare for him to be hit like this by a rookie guard.

"Maybe it's because of the back-to-back away games that made Ann too tired. Today, his condition is really not very good. The ball just now was changed to the previous one. If Irving can get it, it will be a volleyball cap. But today, he has repeatedly played in Antou. Go up and score." O'Neill knew that the sluggish movement and weak bounce were not at the level that Anjie should have, and the only explanation was that this guy was tired.

Under the dual effects of the excellent state of the Cavaliers and the poor state of Anjie, the Cavaliers, the bottom team in the Eastern Conference, have been fighting the No. 1 Trail Blazers in the Western Conference to the end!

Lillard and Irving contributed a wonderful guard attack for the audience, and Cavaliers small forwards Alonzo Key and Iguodala also played inextricably. Even Jeremy Pargo, an unnamed undrafted pick, scored 19 points today. And what about Anjie? He seems to have disappeared, let alone compared with Lillard, Iguodala and Aldridge, his limelight today is not even comparable to Pargo.

The game has been anxious until the last two seconds, and 8 Cavaliers have scored in double figures! At this time, Nicolas Batum just fouled Alonzo Key, because in the last 2.5 seconds, the Cavaliers still led by one point!

Alonzo Key walked to the free throw line. He felt very confident in this game. But probably because he seldom experienced such a critical moment, Alonzo Key missed the first free throw!

"It's okay, it's okay, we still have the advantage." Everyone in the Cavaliers stepped forward to give Ji a high five and encouraged him.

For the second free throw, in order not to disturb Alonzo Key, the Quicken Loans Arena was completely quiet. Alonzo Ki took a deep breath and stared at the basket. Then he raised the ball over his head, pressed his wrists, and moved his fingers. The basketball flew towards the basket, and first bounced to the front edge of the basket. Anjie immediately lay across the basket, and Varejao and Tristan Thompson were completely stuck behind them.

After bouncing, the basketball hit the neck of the basket and bounced again. But this time, An Jie found that the trajectory of the basketball had shifted!

"No!" Alonzo Ki yelled inwardly. In the next second, Anjie leaped high and grabbed the rebound at a height that Varejao and Thompson couldn't reach. Seeing this situation, Ricard immediately used the last timeout of the game. The one-point gap remained, but there was not much time left for the Blazers.

"2.5 seconds, the time is too short, you have to catch the ball!" Kenny Smith became extremely excited, and he wanted to see what miracles the Trail Blazers could accomplish.

"I don't know how Coach Ricard will arrange it. If you shoot a three-pointer, the certainty will be lower. If you want two points, it is difficult to pass the ball in. Moreover, the executor of the last shot must catch the ball and shoot it, which is very difficult. , Coach Ricard must be having a hard time making a choice now."

Yes, it is indeed difficult for Ricard to make a decision. Anjie is not in good shape today, Lillard is too young, Aldridge? I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the ball to him. What about Matthews, Iguodala and Batum? No shortage is an option, but too risky.

"Okay guys, let's play like this for the last attack." Ricard glanced at his players and finally made a decision.

Lost to the Cavaliers at the bottom of the Eastern Conference? This kind of thing is unacceptable to Ricard!
