The Way of the Center

Before the start of this game, almost everyone's attention was focused on the rumors of discord between Anjie and Ricard.

However, few people would think that after the winning streak was ended, the Blazers had already obtained a full 4 days of rest. The 4-day rest not only allowed the problems between Anjie and Ricard to be resolved, but also allowed the Blazers to let go of the psychological burden and huge physical burden of winning streak.

So today, the Trail Blazers are fully capable of playing a beautiful game and winning a big victory. It's just that everyone was deceived by the good show directed by Ricard and An Jie.

"Are you still going to double-team?" Ty Lawson asked hesitantly. Just now Anjie played singles and passed the ball, making it hard to figure out what he was trying to do.

George Karl stared at the Trail Blazers' bench. Anjie still didn't go into the crowd to listen to Ricard's tactics, and Divac was still explaining to Anjie alone.

Could it be that Anjie's passing just now was just a flash in the pan? As far as An Jie's ability to read the game is concerned, even if he doesn't listen to tactics, he can indeed pass a few such balls. But George Karl felt that all this was very wrong. Is the "contradiction" between Anjie and Ricard a bit too far-fetched.

"Don't double-team, defend in the usual way!" George Karl became a little vigilant, and he began to feel that the contradiction between Anjie and Ricard was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Back in the second quarter, the Nuggets did not double-team Anjie again. And An Jie started his ravaging journey in the interior. Costa Koufus really has nothing to do with Anjie. From the ncaa to the fifth season in the league, he has never won a head-to-head confrontation with Anjie.

This guy's soft style of play allows An Jie to come and go freely in the paint, a small hook after a back push, a half-turn and step back jump shot, a dunk after a tough breakthrough... An Jie is unscrupulous in the field. Score inside, and Ricard's yelling never stopped.

"These two charlatans! Fuck it!" Seeing this funny scene, George Karl made a good guess about everything. The so-called "feud" between Rickard and An Jie was a scam from the very beginning! And his Nuggets have been cheated for almost an entire halftime!

When Karl reacted, the Nuggets were already 15 points behind. Anjie's singles almost paralyzed the Nuggets inside. Lillard's brave breakthrough and precise shooting widened the gap between the two teams.

At the end of the halftime game, the Nuggets, who were originally leading, became the trailing side. 43 to 58, looking at this huge point difference, the commentators don't know how to evaluate the Blazers.

During the intermission, Ricard accepted a brief interview with ESPN live reporters. Of course, the reporter's questions focused on him and An Jie.

"I put Ann on the field out of respect and trust. But obviously, this guy let me down. I don't think you will see Ann in the second half of the game." Ricard still put fans and reporters In the dark, but George Karl, who was behind by a large score, will not continue to be stupid.

He used the short time in midfield to completely rework the defensive plan. But George Karl can react, which doesn't mean that the Nuggets players can also react.

At the beginning of the second half, An Jie did not play. Lillard, who was in hot form, took up the banner of offense.

He took advantage of his athletic ability to play Andre Miller, a slick but sluggish veteran, around the corner.

Breakthroughs, emergency stops, three-pointers, Lillard is omnipotent today, George and Karl have formulated a bunch of tactics to block the center, but the pioneer of the Trail Blazers is the guard.

George Karl's roar is now more frequent than Ricard's. Lillard's offense with the ball makes him the focus of the defense, especially Wilson Chandler on the wing, who often rushes to cover the advantage rad.

Over time, Iguodala received less and less "care" and Lillard slowly began to feed Iguodala the ball. Unfortunately for George Karl, Iguodala is also in hot form today!

The winning streak was just ended, and now the Blazers players can't wait to prove themselves with another game victory. And they have had enough rest, and today they intend to vent all their grievances and dissatisfaction.

The Nuggets have already started to be chaotic, and the Blazers' multi-point offense has made the Nuggets' defense even more chaotic.

A block or a steal might help the Nuggets temporarily stabilize the situation, but unfortunately, none of them can do that.

Seeing that the point difference was widening, the furious George Karl called a timeout in advance. In any case, he must interrupt the strong momentum of the Trail Blazers. If they continue to be so crazy, it will be very difficult for the Nuggets to move back.

"What's going on with your defense!? It's simply unsightly!" George Karl's roar was louder than Ricard's just now.

The Nuggets players were also very wronged. They set up many defensive traps for Anjie. But until now in the second half of the game, An Jie has not played again. Lillard seized the opportunity with his own speed and completely tore up the Nuggets' untargeted defense.

George Karl was hesitating whether he should rearrange his defense. But to be on the safe side, he ended up just turning the defense into a traditional man-to-man.

Just after this timeout ended, under the astonished gazes of all the reporters and commentators, Rickard sent Anjie on the field. And the two of them look very close!

"Your teammates have done a good enough job, you go up and widen the point difference, and then you can clock out!" Ricard and An Jie hugged, and it was time for this scene to end.

"what 's wrong!?"

"Isn't Ricard at odds with Anshi!?"

"Damn! Go and dig out first-hand information for me!"

"Coach George Ricard said during the intermission that he would not use Anjie again! But now, Anjie has made a high-profile appearance, and he is talking and laughing with Coach Ricard! I don't know just now. What happened to the team's bench, but I'm sure the Nuggets will not have good fruit!"

After Anjie reappeared, the expressions of the Nuggets players could only be described as panic.

Facing the Nuggets' backup center, Jamal McGee, who has amazing jumping ability, Anjie hooked his finger at him.

Use whatever skills you have! Don't delay my off-duty time!

The Nuggets' first attack after returning from a timeout was resolved by An Jie's timely supplementary defense. Jamal McGee is indeed tougher than Koufos and more active than the Greek. But this guy's ability to read the game needs to be improved. It was a breeze for An Jie to get rid of McGee's entanglement.

After taking off the rebound, Anjie handed the ball to Lillard, and then directed his teammates to get down quickly. At this moment, the king of the torn city finally returned to his fortress!

Lillard handed the ball to Iguodala on the wing, and Iguodala held the ball as a three-threat, while Anjie mentioned the high pick-and-roll.

As soon as Anjie was in position, Iguodala broke through with the ball. Chandler was firmly blocked, but McGee didn't know whether he should chase Iguodala or continue to guard in front of Anjie.

So in the next scene, George Karl almost rushed up to beat someone.

I saw Wilson Chandler and Jamal McGee pounced on Iguodala at the same time. McGee's poor ability to read the game made it impossible for him and Chandler to switch defenses.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Angela moved to the free throw line. McGee was still biting Iguodala persistently. Iguodala jumped towards the basket, but he didn't attack the frame, but passed the ball in the air, giving Anjie a chance.

"An Jie! This is no different from a free throw to him!" An Jie hadn't shot yet, but Yu Jia was ready to shout "strike".

There was no one around Angie who received the ball behind the free throw line. He didn't even jump, and he hit the shot with a free throw posture. The only difference is that this "free throw" is worth two points.

"Oh..." George Karl covered his head in pain. Why is there such a big gap between McGee and Anjie's tactical skills when they are both professional players. With McGee's athletic ability, if his tactical quality can be improved, he will definitely not be a player at the same level as he is now.

McGee, who knew that he had missed someone, was also a little unconvinced, and he also urgently needed to prove himself again with a ball. If he doesn't show some performance and build up George Karl's temper, he will definitely be replaced soon!

Ty Lawson handed the ball to McGee in the low post and waited for a run. This ball Lawson passed the ball to McGee, the purpose is just to let him make a transition, and it is easier for the rest of the Nuggets to move.

However, McGee saw that Anjie wasn't sticking to him tightly enough, so he interrupted the tactic without authorization, turned around and jumped up, ready to dunk hard!

McGee's abnormal jumping allows him to often complete some earth-shattering heavy dunks. Even An Jie can't help applauding when he sees those shots.

But today, Anjie didn't want to be McGee's foil.

Anjie and McGee jumped almost at the same time, but Anjie knew that he was not McGee's opponent when it came to bouncing and bouncing.

Angie just went through arms and put pressure on McGee with his own tough physical confrontation.

Unwilling to give up, McGee forced a dunk on Anjie's head. And the final result was that the basketball was directly dunked by McGee.

"Jamal McGee's dunk was unsuccessful, and Anjie took the second jump and grabbed the rebound! He threw the ball directly to the frontcourt, and Lillard's acceleration was very fast. This is his favorite pass! Ty .Lawson knocked Lillard down as he was about to catch the ball! It was a foul! And without a doubt, it was a flagrant foul!"

Ty Lawson's unabated hit sent Lillard flying straight to the bench. This is a rugby-like collision method. Maybe this foul will hurt Lillard.

Just as Lawson was about to show his innocence to the referee, he felt that he had been bumped violently by someone.

The little guard glanced back, and it was An Jie who was furious. He is asking for an explanation for his teammates. Of course, An Jie will not use that kind of polite defense.

"Calm down! Damien is fine!" Iguodala immediately hugged Anjie from behind, and Lillard stood up slowly, indicating that his body was fine.

"If there is another time, you will be the unlucky one, kid. You better be careful!" An Jie pointed at Ty Lawson's nose and cursed.

At the same time, several on-duty referees gathered around the technical stage to watch the video. First, in slow motion, Ty Lawson's collision was an intentional collision that did not restrain himself at all, and it was a serious act of injuring the opponent.

After several people discussed, the referee unanimously decided to award Ty Lawson a second-level malicious foul, and he will be directly expelled from the field!

"Damn it! Is this how you favor the No. 1 player in the Western Conference!?" Ty Lawson was also a little unconvinced, and George and Karl greeted the referee's family quickly in a short time.

And what about Ricard? He just applauded from the sidelines and gave the referee a thumbs up from time to time.

The reporters were completely dumbfounded. With such a united Trail Blazers team, is there really a problem of discord among the generals? If not, what happened to what Calder and Anjie did before?

However, there is no time for the reporters to think about this now, and the game will resume soon. It's just that the Nuggets lack the core point guard, and there is no hope of a successful counterattack.

After being irritated, Angie and Lillard played more bravely, but the Nuggets, whose morale was hit, played worse and worse.

Anjie's tough style on the court made the Nuggets players suffer a lot, but Anjie felt that this was not too much. At the very least, his toughness will not cause injury to his opponent. And Ty Lawson's foul just now was completely about rushing people instead of the ball!

Under the double firepower coverage of Anjie and Lillard, the third quarter of the game completely turned into a one-sided massacre. The Nuggets sometimes couldn't find a decent shot even before the 24-second shot clock ran out. As for defense, when Anjie and Lillard both explode, there is no defense that can limit them.

85 to 6o, the Nuggets have almost lost the game. The rest of the fourth quarter is just to give them more time to linger.

"Thanks, Ann." At the end of the third quarter, Lillard touched Anjie's shoulder with his fist. Lillard is still very happy that Anjie can stand up for himself.

"I believe that if I were violated, you would do the same." Anjie and Lillard both sat down, and Ricard walked up happily.

"Well done boys, today, you can leave work early." Ricard's smile is so happy, winning a game immediately after the winning streak is ended, this kind of thing can really make people happy.

As for the discord between the generals...don't worry, it doesn't exist...
