The Way of the Center

"An's reaction is very fast. Facts have proved that this tall Chinese can not only defend in a tough way, but also steal delicately. He is also a good player! This is an all-round defender, and he can even play in one-on-one situations. Defend LeBron. The Trail Blazers scored the first point through defensive counterattacks at the beginning of the game. Defensive counterattacks, defensive counterattacks, defense first, and then counterattacks. Defense is undoubtedly the biggest advantage of the Trail Blazers!" Sitting on the spot Mike Breen on the commentary stage thought at first that Howard was going to push off Anjie to complete the dunk, but in the end, there really was no "accident".

Howard couldn't help worrying about himself, but he wasn't about to give up. The strong No. 12 center leaned on Anjie again and raised his hand for the ball. Nash shook his head and gave the ball in.

"You should learn to be smart, Dwight!" An Jie chattered in Howard's ear, and Howard suddenly became furious.

When he played in the finals, An Jie didn't know which onion it was! Unable to accept this kind of humiliation, Howard slammed back hard. He was delighted to find that he seemed to have gained a lot of space!

Just as Howard was about to turn around and take off for a dunk, the referee's whistle sounded hastily, and at this moment, An Jie fell to the ground in pain.

"This is a flop!" Howard immediately spread his hands and shouted at the referee.

"Lakers No. 12, offensive foul, exchange the ball!" The referee was not afraid of this strong man who was much taller than himself. He resolutely gave Howard an offensive foul. After all, Howard's forceful action just now was a bit big.

"I said, you should learn to be smarter. Next time don't try to deal with me in such a rough way, I will let you go around." An Jie stood up with the support of his teammates, and when he passed by Howard , He stimulated Howard's nerves again.

"Boy An, that's what I liked about him back then." Divac looked at everything that happened on the field and smiled triumphantly.

"It's not so much that Ann's flop is too realistic, it's better to say that Howard is too brainless. He wants to use brute force to get rid of An Jie, which is simply the stupidest choice." Ricard looked at Howard's irascibility now With a thunderous appearance, he was relieved. The most threatening point of the Lakers, there is no danger now.

The Lakers' offense failed again because of Howard's impulsiveness. Seeing Lillard pushing the ball across the half court unhurriedly, everyone in the Lakers was even more nervous.

The Blazers scored for the first time through defense. But how fierce their offense is, the Lakers haven't experienced it yet.

"The Trail Blazers are an excellent team with both offense and defense. In the regular season without Aldridge, the Trail Blazers have achieved a record of 27 consecutive victories. Now that Aldridge has returned, Coach Ricard's tactical choice It's only going to be richer. Let's see how the Blazers play on the first possession."

After Lillard dribbled the ball to half court, Nash immediately posted it. In fact, now Lillard can directly break through Nash without any effort. But in order to play according to Ricard's regulations, Lillard still suppressed his offensive desire and gave the ball to Iguodala on the wing.

As soon as Iguodala caught the ball, Aldridge's pick-and-roll was in place. Without slacking off, the impactful small forward used the pick-and-roll to break through.

Both Gasol and Metta World Peace of the Lakers were attracted by Iguodala's breakthrough, but Iguodala did not attack the basket after the breakthrough, but passed back and hit the ball back to Aldridge Odd hands.

If it was a few days ago, Iguodala's pass would be meaningless. Because J.J. Hickson's weak shooting ability can almost be ignored.

But now, the guy who gets the shot is called Aldridge. This guy's best skill is shooting!

"Damn it!" Gasol knew that he had made a big mistake, and he tried his best to use his height advantage to block it.

But Aldridge took the shot calmly before Gasol's interference came, and the Trail Blazers fans swallowed. Can Aldridge make the first shot after his comeback? After all, this guy's state is directly related to whether the Trail Blazers can reach the finals and win the championship.

An Jie's eyes were fixed on the basketball, judging where it would land. But a few seconds later, An Jie found that the ball's landing point could not be judged at all. Because in his opinion, this will be a hollow ball!

Sure enough, Aldridge's mid-to-long-range shot went hollow into the net. The guy's shot is machine-like and has put many guards to shame.

After the ball was scored, Aldridge high-fived Iguodala and Anjie respectively. During training, he always shot under Anjie's defense and interference. Now that Gasol is just a mere one, how can he let Aldridge miss?

"This is a very bad sign for the Lakers. An Ann is tough enough to deal with, and now LaMarcus has also told everyone that he feels hot! Don't forget, except for Ann and Lamar Cus, the Blazers' Lillard, Iguodala, Batum, Courtney Lee and others are also good scorers. In fact, I am already worried about the Lakers' defense." In terms of the strength of the two sides The hard gap made Mike Breen worried. In this game, there is a high probability that he will be beaten.

A simple pick-and-roll cooperation allowed the Trail Blazers to make another victory. Gasol has completely lost himself under D'Antoni's system. If it weren't for Kobe, he would have taken the initiative to apply for a trade.

But there is no way, no matter how aggrieved he is, he has already entered the playoffs on behalf of the Lakers. The mood of the others is actually similar to that of Gasol. They were all driven to the shelves and forced to complete a game that was destined to have no good results.

This time the Lakers' offensive Nash did not pass the ball to Howard. In fact, Nash, who has a good temper, has almost lost his patience with Howard. This guy can't do anything good except push the Lakers into the abyss.

He began to look for other opportunities, looking for attack points other than Howard.

Under D'Antoni's system, Gasol had to pull outside to make room for Howard while also taking advantage of his shooting advantage.

The other outside lines are constantly interspersed with running positions outside, seeking opportunities for open shots.

However, the actual situation now is that Howard has no way to get a position in the paint. After Gasol couldn't get close to the basket, he was also at a loss. As for Blake and Metta Shiping... Even if these two guys run out of open space, they may not be able to score the ball.

For a moment, Nash didn't know what to do with himself. It is easy to pass the ball, but it is very difficult to convert this pass into a score.

In the end, Nash was forced to give the ball to Gasol. Gasol didn't have the slightest advantage when facing Aldridge in the middle distance. Although his high shot shot passed Aldridge's fingers, he was rejected by the basket.

Anjie jumped up and took the rebound. In fact, if he wanted to, Howard might have had to get a rebound foul just now.

The Lakers' offense once again failed under the execution of messy tactics, while the Blazers came out aggressively again.

"an, an, an, an..." All of a sudden, following the rhythm given by the live DJ, all the fans shouted An Jie's name regularly.

What they want is obvious, and that is a goal from An Jie!

The game has been played so far, although the Trail Blazers have been pressing the Lakers. But on the offensive end, An Jie never even touched the ball.

This group of fans can't wait anymore, they really want to see how their head star will lead the team to victory.

Anjie and Aldridge are the only two insiders who averaged 20.0 points per game this season, and Anjie's 28.0 points per game ranks second in the league. You know, this is the statistic that Anjie likes to share the ball with his teammates.

This guy's attack power is undoubtedly very violent, seeing Rickard nodded to himself. An Jie ran to the free throw line. Seeing this situation, Lillard made a tacit pass, and the others quickly opened up space for An Jie. Howard and Anjie's singles kicked off!

"Damn! Damn!" Howard kept yelling in his heart. Howard was not very good at defending after leaving the three-second zone. But for An Jie, whether he is in the three-second zone or not, he can attack efficiently!

An Jie only made a few tentative steps after holding the ball, and he tricked Howard into shaking his center of gravity.

An Jie seized the opportunity to rush forward suddenly, and Howard tried his best to move laterally to block. But when An Jie and Howard were about to collide, An Jie suddenly stopped and turned around!

"A turnaround jumper!?" Howard immediately rushed forward. Anjie's turnaround jumper after an emergency stop has already deceived countless long insiders. Howard is not willing to be another victim of this trick.

"It's all right this time!" Howard jumped up suddenly, he was bound to block Anjie's shot! However, just when An Jie was about to make a shot, the basketball was suddenly taken back by An Jie!

Seeing Howard being swayed by himself, An Jie turned back along the original track, and then he straightened his long arms and easily picked the basket.

"Beautiful dream dance steps, beautiful! Dwight doesn't understand this kind of footsteps at all, he is played around by Ann!" If Mike Breen didn't want to remain neutral, he would have thought of standing up and applauding for Anjie. The set of footsteps just now was simply copied from Olajuwon. Since entering the 21st century, only Anjie can bring this kind of insider footsteps to everyone.

Howard gritted his teeth, feeling humiliated. But he is powerless at the same time, because Anjie is proficient in almost all inside offensive skills. No matter how you guard him, he will break your defense with another defense. An Jie will never be guarded by anyone, the only thing that can stop him is his own touch!

For the rest of the first quarter, the demoralized Lakers played worse and worse. Nash is even questioning why such a Lakers can make the playoffs. The Rockets, who are only half a game behind them in the ninth place in the Western Conference, are more qualified to play in the playoffs.

Even the players on the team have this idea, and the combat effectiveness of the Lakers is well known.

After entering the rotation time, the Lakers' unsightly bench lineup was abused by Batum and Courtney Lee. Fisher couldn't bear it, after all, the Lakers carried too many good memories of him. But there is no way, now he is a pioneer!

The cheers from the Rose Garden rose one after another, and Mike Brin's shouts continued to rise and fall. The gap between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers is getting bigger and bigger.

Until the end of the 12-minute game in the first quarter, Howard, who was sitting on the bench, did not raise his head.

13 to 24, this humiliating score was written on the big electronic screen in the Rose Garden without any hindrance.

"The Lakers were defended with only 13 points in the first quarter, which is really miserable. But I believe...the worst is yet to come."

Mike Breen was right, the murderous butcher, who loves creating bloody races...
