The Way of the Center
Chapter 540: Sustained Suppression
"Wonderful block! Ann has never been passed by Randolph. This horrible butcher has already seen through Z-Bo's thoughts. He is just waiting, waiting for an excellent opportunity, and then gives Randolph one last shot." Hit!" No matter how many times Mike Breen watched it, he would be shocked by Anjie's blocking.
In the 1995 comedy film "Friday," the villain was called "dibo." That's why Randolph got the name "z-bo", which is similar to the character in the film, because Randolph always bullies people when he plays on the court, and he is simply a big villain who does all kinds of evil.
But now, this big villain is speechless in front of An Jie. Under An Jie's "threat", Randolph did not act aggressively, but just left silently. Although he really didn't want to admit it, Randolph actually felt afraid of An Jie's defense in his heart now!
After the ball was blocked by Anjie, the basketball flew directly out of the sideline, so the Grizzlies also got a chance to hit the sideline.
But Randolph, who had been stunned by Anjie, did not seize the second chance. His turnaround jump shot was disrupted because he was afraid of being blocked by Anjie. Naturally, the ball failed to hit.
Another successful defense by Anjie means another defeat for the Grizzlies. The consecutive failures have greatly depressed the morale of the Grizzlies. Hollins also knew that if the Grizzlies continued to score no points, the game would only get harder and harder.
Now they are two points behind, and the Grizzlies don't want this point difference to be enlarged. They must pass a successful defense or a successful offense to completely stop An Jie's momentum and improve their morale!
That's right, it's Anjie's momentum, not the Blazers' momentum. Because from the timeout from Anjie to the present, the Grizzlies can be said to have lost to Anjie.
But unfortunately, the Grizzlies' defense was broken by the Blazers again soon after.
Tyshawn Prince's resolute double-teaming made Anjie no longer able to ignore Iguodala's opening. Iguodala was also very competitive, although his corner shot stepped on the line and was eventually awarded two points. But at any rate, the Trail Blazers' scoring momentum has continued.
The defense failed again, and Hollins could only put his hope on Gasol Jr. He let Gasol, who had been in the middle distance for a long time, walk into the inside and face Anjie's defense!
Gasol Jr. did not back down, and when the team needed him to stand up, he would stand up immediately.
This guy didn't continue to pick and roll Mike Conley, but used Randolph's running position to get into the paint skillfully. But Ricard is not worried, as long as Anjie is guarding the basket, Ricard is not worried even if James comes.
When Angie confronted Gasol Jr., he found that this guy was very different from the regular season. Some players, such as Griffin, typically perform better in the regular season than in the playoffs. But for some players, the situation is just the opposite.
Marc Gasol, who is now fighting against Anjie, undoubtedly belongs to the latter. The brutal battle in the playoffs, on the contrary, can inspire Marc Gasol's fighting spirit even more.
But it's a pity that after so many successful offenses and defenses, Anjie is also playing very excitedly now. If it was before, Mark might really have broken Anjie's rule, but facing Anjie who just finished blocking and was excited, Gasol Jr. might be in trouble.
Gasol's strength is much stronger than Randolph's. After all, he is an excellent traditional center. If his strength is not as strong as that of a power forward, it is really unreasonable.
An Jie hit Gasol's back again and again and retreated, but Gasol's slightly slow movements are now holding him back.
After advancing two steps, Gasol Jr. held the ball in both hands and began to turn around. An Jie saw that Gasol changed his footsteps, and without thinking about it, he also knew that this guy was going to turn over and shoot a jumper.
For a defender like Anjie who has a particularly careful observation, Gasol's slow movements are not confusing at all.
When Gasol turned over and was about to shoot a jumper, he found that Anjie had sealed himself with no room at all!
"Can this guy see through other people's minds!?" If he insists on making a move, it will only block An Jie. In astonishment, Gasol turned his shot into a pass, but his improvised bad pass flew directly out of the sideline.
"Another successful defense! Oh my God, the entire second quarter was completely controlled by An Jie!"
At this point, Lionel Hollins had to call another timeout. He needs to interrupt the momentum of the Blazers, and also needs to replace Randolph and others who have been on the court since the beginning of the second quarter.
The entire starting lineup can't shake the Trail Blazers, and the Grizzlies half-substitute half-main lineup can't make a breakthrough.
Darrell Arthur, this guy who used to be several times more famous than Anjie in the NCAA, let alone confronting Anjie now, he can take care of Aldridge first, thank God.
Arthur had no advantage in height, and Aldridge's characteristic of holding high and fighting made Arthur helpless.
When Randolph restrained Aldridge, the Trail Blazers only had Anjie as an attack point. But when Randolph was off the court, Aldridge, the second-in-command, was completely liberated.
Although Tony Allen still controls the outside firepower of the Trail Blazers very well, preventing the Trail Blazers from going crazy inside and outside. But the offense of Anjie and Aldridge alone is enough for the Grizzlies to drink a pot.
While the Trail Blazers maintained a tight situation, they also played impressively offensively under the leadership of Anjie.
The Grizzlies' advantage in the first quarter was gone, and the second quarter ended quickly in this enjoyable rhythm. 42 to 50, the Trail Blazers went from being behind to leading, from being weak to being strong.
And all this is thanks to An Jie who was so serious just now. The gap between the two teams on the field just now is far more than the eight points on the surface.
"Good job guys! We have regained the game! But don't relax, the battle has just lasted halfway, and the third quarter will be played as it was just now. We can't lose home, we can't lose one!" Ricard said in the quarter During the half-time break, he didn't make any new tactical arrangements. He just kept motivating the team, hoping that the excitement of the boys would not cool down during the half-time break.
Although this half-time break allowed An Jie to recover his physical fitness, it was inevitable that his excited state would be calmed down. Although Ricard kept yelling, the heat of An Jie's body gradually dropped.
So when the third quarter started, facing the Grizzlies who strengthened their offense. Angie allowed Gasol and Randolph to hit some shots.
Especially Jr. Gasol, who barely scored in the first half of the game, had a very strong desire to attack as soon as he came up in the third quarter.
Anjie guessed Mark's intention several times, but the Spaniard used his solid skills to score the ball under difficult circumstances.
What about Zach Randolph? The guy couldn't stand the humiliation he got in the second quarter. He also joined the ranks of crazy offense, but in the face of Aldridge, who also refused to give in, Randolph's offensive efficiency was not as good as that of Gasol.
Halfway through the third quarter, both Hollins and Ricard let the four pillars of the restricted area go to rest. Next, what greeted the fans was a painful blacksmithing "performance."
Tony Allen repeatedly missed open shots, and Mike Conley was at a loss under the Blazers' team defense.
As for the Trail Blazers, due to the existence of Tony Allen, their outside players did not score smoothly, and the offenses of substitute insiders Meyers Leonard and J.J. Hickson were not painless.
The defense of the two teams is still very strong, but without the four inside pillars, the game becomes much uglier in an instant.
"Hurry up and let An Jie play, why do you let him sit down?" Some Chinese fans who watched basketball for the first time also shouted impatiently in front of the TV. They came to watch this game for An Jie. Now the scene is so ugly without Anjie, it really makes many people who are watching a basketball game for the first time want to change the channel every minute.
However, Hollins and Ricard, the two cautious guys, still disappointed the fans. When the entire third quarter was over, the four inside cores of the two teams did not continue to play.
Ricard let Anjie rest because he was going to let Anjie launch a fierce attack in the last quarter and win the game in one fell swoop.
And Hollins let Gasol rest because he didn't dare to let Gasol play rashly! He was afraid that Ricard would play "Tian Ji horse racing" tricks with him, so the enemy would not move and I would not move. This is why Hollins was hesitant to change. He needs Gasol to show his best physical fitness and state to deal with Anjie!
"That guy, I'm going to let Mark fight you to the end." Seeing that Gasol and Anjie didn't play until the end of the third quarter, Ricard knew that the inside melee in the fourth quarter might be very difficult. Very intense. Now the point difference between the two teams is still stable at eight points, which means that it is entirely possible for the Grizzlies to complete the reversal and win the game in the fourth quarter.
At that time, Marc Gasol will definitely be the hardest one. He will be as excited and terrifying as Anjie in the second quarter.
"No matter who it is, I can't stop me! In the fourth quarter, I'm determined!" An Jie, who didn't play for half a quarter, couldn't wait to end the game, and sometimes restrained the bloodiness of a beast properly. , and then release it suddenly, you may get unexpected results.
Divac didn't know if Rickard restrained An Jie on purpose. He only knew that in the fourth quarter, this beast from China was about to show its bestiality.
"Friends in the audience, let's take a break. The decisive battle in the fourth quarter is coming!" Yu Jia took off his earphones and stared at the field. Although the Blazers are still eight points ahead of the Grizzlies, the atmosphere of the entire game is still very tense.
"How about it? Do you think the Blazers can maintain their advantage until the end of the game?" After the signal was cut off, Zhang Weiping casually chatted with Yu Jia.
"The Grizzlies' defense in the fourth quarter will definitely make Ainger lack of help from others. Tony Allen has controlled the perimeter and controlled the entire game. There is no reason for him to go wrong in the fourth quarter. Randolph will definitely let it. Aldridge is very uncomfortable. I am afraid that the next duel will become Anjie's personal performance. But I believe that Anjie can handle it. After all, in the 69 regular season victories, not every victory is easy Loose. He has experienced this kind of moment countless times.” Yu Jia replied very confidently, at that moment, he was not a famous CCTV player, he was just an ordinary fan who supported his country’s players.
Spotlights, cheers, yelling from coaches, encouragement from teammates. Finally, Anjie finally waited for the buzzer that represented the official start of the fourth quarter.
The tall Blazer No. 00 was the first to step onto the court. An Jie was as expressionless and calm as he was in the second quarter. He has completely entered the fighting state, and he has only one goal, to win the game! Find this site and search for "Apex Novels 208xs", or please remember the URL of this site:
