The Way of the Center

"Pass the ball! Pass the ball, you bloody idiot!" Ricard roared angrily on the bench, while Anjie once again forcibly hooked against Kouvers and Faried's double-team.

The basketball went into the net impossibly hollow, and Ricard was flushed with anger. This is already the third time Anjie played singles with the ball since the start of the game. The Trail Blazers only had three offenses.

"It seems that Coach Ricard is very unhappy. Although Anjie scored the ball in these three attacks, it is obvious that this is not what Coach Ricard meant. He hopes that Anjie should share the ball more instead of insisting on singles."

"This is the serious consequence of the discord between the head star and the coach. Others on the court don't know whether they should listen to the leader on the court or the leader off the court. Don't look at An Jie's current situation. The offense hasn't lost, and sometimes basketball can be a one-man game, but that didn't work with George Karl's Nuggets."

Almost all commentators regard Anjie's singles as his protest against Ricard's tactical arrangements. Anjie has always been a player who can drive the whole team into the game. It's not An Jie's style to fight alone.

Even the general manager of the Trail Blazers Neil Orsi, who was watching the game at home, had to frown. If Anjie and Ricard really had conflicts, then Orsi would have to stand up and do something . Usually faced with this situation, it is the head coach who leaves.

Everyone didn't know that An Jie's fighting alone was precisely because he listened to Ricard's words.

In the fourth offense of the Trail Blazers, Anjie was still threatening Lillard for the ball. Lillard pretended to hesitate for a while, and he hung the ball inside "under pressure".

Anjie's old opponent, Costa Koufus, immediately stabilized his foot to prevent Anjie from receding. At the same time, the extremely athletic power forward "Orc" Faried suddenly started, he opened his big hand, sprinted fiercely, and intercepted the basketball before Anjie!

"Kenneth Faried's reaction is very fast! This guy wants to get it with his toes, and Lillard will definitely lob the ball to Ann!"

Trail Blazers fans put their heads in their hands,

Seeing the Nuggets' new core Ty Lawson seize the opportunity to quickly counterattack and turn into a fast break.

And what about the Trail Blazers? Ricard is still roaring from the sidelines, and Anjie is still playing singles with the ball in his own way. The whole situation has not been reversed in the slightest, and the Nuggets' double-team defense against Anjie has become more and more bold. Because, as George Karl said, Angie simply can't pass the ball.

Seeing that An Jie's offensive efficiency began to decline, Ricard deliberately cursed on the sidelines and replaced his beloved disciple.

This substitution was actually to allow the rest of the Trail Blazers to stabilize the situation and give Anjie some breathing time. But in the eyes of outsiders, this is Ricard's performance after he couldn't bear Anjie.

"Coach Rickard replaced An Jie, and neither of them spoke to each other. I think these two guys should let go of the past, after all, now is not the time for men to be angry." Even Mike Breen Looking anxious, the Trail Blazers definitely have the strength to beat the Nuggets, as long as the two guys get back together.

After Anjie left the field, the Trail Blazers finally played some cooperation. But the Nuggets, who had already gained momentum, did not let the Blazers turn the score.

George Karl is very proud now, it goes without saying how important Anjie is to the Blazers. Without Anjie's participation, the Blazers' chances of winning the game are not great. In the absence of a top scorer, George Karl has more confidence in his Nuggets.

"Great job, continue to play singles at the beginning of the second quarter. When the time is right, we will attack back in one fell swoop! The Nuggets are already stuck, and they are dreaming of winning. I want you to win the game in three quarters and let the whole world Fans around the world, look at how terrifying the team that has won 27 consecutive victories is!" At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers trailed the Nuggets by 5 points. As for the arrangement during the break, An Jie didn't listen to the tactics. Divac still played the role of the mouthpiece, and Rickard intends to continue this deception.

"Win the game in three quarters?" An Jie's eyes widened, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "That old guy is really ambitious."

"Huh?" Wu Hua captured the scene of An Jie smiling just now through his own camera. Logically speaking, An Jie should not be able to smile in the current situation.

Conflict with the head coach, the team is in trouble, all these recent developments make it hard for Wu Hua to imagine that An Jie can still laugh.

It's the same thing as not having conflicts with Ricard. Wu Hua doesn't believe that An Jie will be a person who can feel at ease when the team encounters difficulties. Where did Anjie and Ricard sing? Wu Hua felt something was wrong.

After the start of the second quarter, An Jie, who looked out of control on the surface, still obediently listened to Ricard's words and went crazy in singles.

Even though Lillard, Iguodala and Matthews had a wide open, Angie still went to the basket as always.

George Karl stood proudly on the sidelines, watching the Nuggets widen the gap. At the same time, I was also wondering why people with a little bit of ability in this alliance are prone to become cancerous.

Halfway through the second quarter, Ricard called a timeout in a "frustrated" manner. People thought that the time for this game to belong to An Jie had all run out, but after returning from the timeout, An Jie was still left on the field.

"Coach Ricard still trusts An Jie. After so many unreasonable fights alone, An Jie is still left on the court."

"George Karl, that old guy is probably grinning from ear to ear. The Trail Blazers continue to let Ann play, and they are slowly pushing themselves into the pit of fire!"

"It's time kid, three quarters, I'll only give you three quarters! Your opponent has let down his vigilance, the next thing you have to do is very simple, don't let me down!" Ricard yelled into the field, but the reporter They didn't know who he was talking to. Seeing that An Jie didn't respond, the reporters didn't pay much attention to Rickard's arrangement.

The Trail Blazers' first attack after returning from a timeout, everything was still the same. Lillard dribbled the ball across half court, and Anjie yelled for the ball like a "ball bully".

The basketball was given to Anjie, and Faried's rush almost succeeded again.

Although the steal was not completed, Faried and the Nuggets were not discouraged. Because after a while, An Jie couldn't do anything after being double-teamed.

Koufus, Faried, and Ty Lawson, who has a low center of gravity and is good at steals, rushed towards Anjie without even thinking about it. They don't think that a timeout will change the relationship between Ricard and Anjie.

However, at the moment when the three were about to complete the encirclement against An Jie, An Jie used his height advantage to pass the ball, and Lillard, who was completely emptied, got a chance.

The first-year guard didn't hesitate, raising his hand and shooting from beyond the three-point line. The hoop was hollowed into the net, and cheers finally emerged from the Rose Garden.

Faried, Koufus and Ty Lawson looked at each other. Just now... just now, Anjie actually passed the ball?

Ricard was still swearing at the field, and Anjie didn't pay any attention to the roaring Ricard. Although An Jie completed an assist, everything looked the same as before.

"It's just a coincidence, a damned coincidence!" Almost all the Nuggets players think this way. Anjie averaged 6.1 assists per game this season, and just occasionally sent a wonderful pass, which is not good. surprised.

Everyone thinks that Anjie will definitely continue to play singles in the future, because if he really has conflicts with Ricard, he will need a complete defeat to put pressure on the management. Once this critical point exceeds the range that the management can bear, Calder will leave there!

However, An Jie, who was double-teamed, passed the ball out for the second consecutive game.

This time, it was still facing a three-person double-team. Anjie easily passed the ball over Ty Lawson's head.

Seeing this situation, Ty Lawson turned around immediately, only to see that Lillard had already stopped and got up. With his soft mid-range shot, the basketball fell into the net with a perfect arc, and Anjie made another assist!

For the third ball, Ty Lawson didn't dare to act recklessly. Without the interference of this little man, Anjie was like a fish in water under Koufus' defense.

He directly turned around and passed Koufos who was defending in the front. At the same time, Faried tried his best to take off to block the shot, but he just gave Anjie a chance to hit a three-pointer in vain.

Seeing An Jie singles against the defense again, everyone agreed that his two assists just now were just a flash in the pan. However, for the fourth time, Anjie passed the ball again.

This time, the person who was "lucky" to get "alms" from Anjie became Wesley Matthews. Matthews calmly completed the shot in the face of the absent-minded Wilson Chandler.

In fact, Chandler didn't lose his position with the ball, it was just Anjie's solo fight that made him relax his guard against Matthews.

However, the price paid for this was that Matthews made a three-pointer, and the Trail Blazers played an 11-0 offensive climax in the blink of an eye!

All the TV commentators were stunned, they hadn't realized what happened on the field just now.

A timeout by Ricard not only allowed the Trail Blazers to get rid of the disadvantage, but also allowed them to reverse by 5 points!

George Karl did not call a timeout, and this shrewd old coach would not be frightened by this little accident.

He signaled his players to continue to double-team Anjie, and pay attention to cut off Anjie's passing route at any time.

Anjie never heard a single tactic from Ricard in this game, so he may not be familiar with the running positions of his teammates in this game. Carl believes that as long as he can successfully choke the passing line, Anjie will inevitably make mistakes. Counterattacking through mistakes is exactly what the "Denver Athletics" are good at.

With this in mind, the Nuggets leisurely launched another offense.

Ty Lawson used Koufus and Faried's double pick-and-roll to go straight to the basket. Angie, who was not going well, has misjudged the timing of taking off and blocking the block more than once today because of impulsiveness. Therefore, Ty Lawson's first few breakthroughs also ended in success.

Now that the Nuggets have repeatedly missed shots, Ty Lawson decided to use a bold breakthrough to change the situation.

But when Lawson took off, he saw a ghostly smile on An Jie's face.

"This guy!?......"

An Jie jumped high at the right time, Ty Lawson was as short as a child in front of An Jie. His layup looked so weak in front of Anjie's outstretched long arms.

With a clean slap, the basketball that Ty Lawson handed out just now was ruthlessly dismissed by An Jie.

After landing, An Jie shook his head at Lawson, indicating to this little man that the basket he guarded was a complete no-fly zone!

At the same time, Iguodala quickly advanced with the ball. Under the pursuit of Wilson Chandler, Iguodala deliberately cut back when he was on the basketball to gain space for himself. Then he jumped easily, flicked his wrist, and made a beautiful fast break.

13 to 0, this storm-like offensive climax gave the Nuggets a blow without warning!

The fans of the Rose Garden couldn't help standing up excitedly when they saw this scene. The An Jie they were familiar with, the An Jie who led the team forward bravely, the king of the tearing city, finally came back!

Seeing this situation, George Karl immediately called a timeout. He felt that something seemed wrong!

The white old man couldn't help but look at the young marshal on the other side of the field. He was still cursing at An Jie, as if An Jie's performance hadn't even been seen by him...
