The Way of the Center
Chapter 541: Defeat You!
"Go on, Ann!"
"Let's take the game! Take the win!"
"Take the Grizzlies home, this is our home field!"
While Anjie was on the field, the shouts of the Rose Garden fans continued to rise and fall. Under the spotlight, An Jie patted the chests of his teammates one by one. "The battle we long for is here, don't relax until the end of the game!"
Now An Jie can not only use his actions to mobilize the whole team, but also use verbal stimulation to arouse the fighting spirit of his teammates.
When the Trail Blazers players stepped onto the court, they had turned into a pack of ferocious hungry wolves. The fight between the hungry wolf and the grizzly is about to enter the bloodiest and cruelest stage.
"The fourth quarter has finally started, and now the Trail Blazers have the ball. If the Trail Blazers can score this time, the point difference will be widened to double digits. Don't look at the fact that there is only one goal between eight points and ten points." However, the double-digit point difference will definitely put a much greater burden on the players of the Grizzlies than it does now. So the defense of the Grizzlies this time is crucial to the entire game!"
As soon as Mike Breen finished speaking, Tony Allen locked Lillard just after halftime.
With a tight defense at halftime, Lionel Hollins was ready to go all in and do whatever it takes.
I have to admit that under the crazy entanglement of Tony Allen, Lillard's possession of the ball became stumbling again. Iguodala and Matthews had to stay away from the three-point line to respond, and the Blazers' offensive formation was instantly disrupted.
"Ann?" Aldridge couldn't help shouting when he saw that An Jie also rushed to the outside line. Anjie ignored Aldridge's astonished gaze. This 2.19-meter-tall guy ran directly beyond the three-point line, raised his arms high, and demanded the ball from Lillard!
Anjie, who raised his hand, was like a lighthouse guiding the direction, and Lillard saw the target in an instant.
Lillard's vision became very narrow under Tony Allen's death entanglement. He couldn't safely send the ball to Matthews or Iguodala, but he could pass a lob that no one could catch To Angie.
And just like that, Lillard lobs the ball toward the upraised arm. Tony Allen struggled to take off, but the ball passed to Anjie was not something that Tony Allen, who was 1.93 meters tall, could get.
An Jie firmly grasped the falling basketball, and at the same time, Marc Gasol immediately supported An Jie's back from behind. These two centers, at the position of the three-point line, intend to single out!
"The outside center duel! Such a scene is rare! After all, Mark, who is ranked second in the selection of the best defensive player, can defend the most offensive center Angie?" Mike Brin immediately found out for the audience. Gimmicks and highlights are not the only funny trio that attract people's attention.
An Jie held the basketball tightly with both hands, and slowly turned to face the frame. Marc Gasol took two steps back and opened his arms to prevent Anjie from breaking through. At the same time, everyone in the Trail Blazers was interspersed with running positions, creating the illusion that Anjie was only supporting at a high position.
In this way, the rest of the Grizzlies dare not double-team easily. This time, Gasol can only face Anjie's attack by himself!
It's not like Anjie has done this kind of thing before launching an attack from outside the three-point line. Not only that, he even used the method of outside attack to complete the lore. Every time he scores in this way, the fans and commentators on the scene will be shocked.
So Gasol didn't dare to slack off. He knew that Anjie, who was 2.19 meters tall, had the ability to break through with the ball, at least when facing himself, who was also an insider, Anjie had this ability.
An Jie kept using tentative steps to confuse Gasol. Although Gasol was unmoved, he was already very nervous by An Jie.
Instantly! An Jie stabbed towards Mark's right hand! Gasol immediately blocked, but the speed was still half a beat slower than Anjie.
Even so, Gasol wasn't completely out of position. He has been struggling to resist Anjie, and it is impossible for Anjie to complete the shot under such a high-intensity confrontation.
"An Jie has a lot of tricks, I believe his breakthrough will be so easy to stop." Zhang Weiping clenched his thighs, he was looking forward to what kind of performance An Jie would bring to the fans.
Seeing that he couldn't force his way in, and seeing Gasol's defense so fiercely, An Jie decided to take a step back!
"Ann's step-back jumper on the way to break through, don't look at this guy as a center, but this move is Ann's forte!"
This time, Marc Gasol was not shaken by the drop-back. He had already expected that An Jie must have other methods, so he made preparations in advance.
"Marc Gasol's forward attack is very timely, and Ann's retreat has no effect at all! He deserves to be the second player in the selection of the best defensive player. He is not so easy to be deceived!"
The Grizzlies fans cheered, and Anjie seemed to be going to insist on shooting, but Marc Gasol had already taken off and blocked it. This ball will definitely be a block, and the Grizzlies fans finally let out a bad breath!
"What the most versatile center! It's just a few tricks!" Gasol said to himself in his heart, but the next second, An Jie passed by him easily.
"Huh?" Marc Gasol didn't react. Didn't Anjie plan to shoot just now? How can this guy still dribble?
This is of course not a shot. An Jie just pretended to shoot after retreating, but before holding the ball with both hands, he dribbled again and made a breakthrough! This is a prayer to Buddha, a realistic false action of praying to Buddha!
"Bai Buddha! This action is so realistic that I didn't even notice it! It's true that An is the most versatile center in the league, but is he really just a center with his skillful skills!?" Mike Breen saw An Jie's ease. Marc Gasol, who passed the defense with all his strength, was taken aback. How terrifying is this guy's strength?
After breaking through Gasol, Tony Allen volunteered and lay across the basket.
This 1.93-meter perimeter defensive gate certainly doesn't expect to be able to block An Jie. He just wants to seize the opening and cut off the basketball when An Jie takes three steps.
However, the menacing Anjie did not slow down after seeing Tony Allen lying in front of him. The No. 00 of the Trail Blazers was not afraid, as if he was facing an empty basket.
"Damn it!" Tony Allen gritted his teeth, Anjie's impact was very strong.
Tony Allen saw the timing and cut the ball overhand. But An Jie took off directly, intending to dunk!
Fans in the Rose Garden held their breath as they waited for a picture to emerge.
Allen, the defensive leader, accurately cut the ball in Anjie's hands, but to his surprise, the basketball was still tightly hugged by Anjie, and Tony Allen failed to knock out the basketball in Anjie's hands!
"What kind of ball protection ability is this!?" Tony Allen cut off Marc Gasol's ball more than once during training. You know, Mark is already the most skilled center in this league.
But An Jie failed to make Tony Allen succeed. Not only did he not cut off the basketball in An Jie's hands, but he was also hit by the huge pressure of An Jie after he rushed up, making him unable to make effective resistance.
An Jie just finished gliding in the air through Tony Allen with his arms raised high, then stretched out his long arms, reached the basket, and completed a dunk!
"Boom!" With a loud noise, Tony Allen could hardly believe what had just happened to him. And the entire rose garden fell into a brief silence.
"Bevery dunks after passing Gasol! Ann! He did it! This attack will definitely become a classic shot in the history of nb playoffs!" Until Mike Brin ecstatically shouted in front of the commentary, Fans at the Rose Garden have just recovered from their shock.
Suddenly, a huge sound flooded the entire rose garden. After that, the wave even spread to the entire city of Portland.
Everyone was cheering for An Jie's goal just now, even the fans who watched the game on TV shouted excitedly.
And far away in China, countless fans are staring at the TV dumbfounded. In that scene just now, was it really an attack that a center could complete? First, he swayed the matchup with an extremely realistic worshiping Buddha action, and then ended the offense with an extremely violent dunk. No matter how unbelievable they think it is, this picture was indeed presented to fans all over the world a few seconds ago.
"My God!" Even Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins stood on the sidelines with his mouth open. Even Olajuwon, who was known as capable inside and out, would not play like Anjie! This guy completely redefines the meaning of the center position!
"Damn you!" An Jie thumped his chest and yelled after he succeeded in dunking. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Anjie used such a wonderful shot to boost the confidence of the Trail Blazers, and at the same time greatly damaged the morale of the Grizzlies.
In the next defense, Anjie, who was already excited, directly blocked Marc Gasol's turnaround jumper.
The ball An Jie just touched the basketball slightly with his fingers, which changed the flight trajectory of the basketball. But strictly speaking, this is indeed a cover.
Gasol's inevitable shot was turned into a non-stick by An Jie.
Aldridge struggled to get stuck and grabbed the offensive rebound under the interference of Randolph.
Afterwards, Lillard also followed Ricard's arrangement and slowly advanced without haste. Although Tony Allen's entanglement still makes Lillard very uncomfortable, the Grizzlies know that the real threat to the Trail Blazers now is Anjie! Even if Anjie holds the ball outside the three-point line, he has a very strong offensive power.
Lillard did what he had learned all his life to keep the basketball in his hands. As soon as it crossed the center line, Lillard handed the ball over. Anjie's goal is very big, which also ensures that Lillard will not make mistakes.
Ainger was once again holding the ball on the perimeter, but the Grizzlies weren't happy about it. After the dunk dunk just now, fans all over the world know that Anjie's threat from the outside and low post is equally huge!
Anjie made a breakthrough, but suddenly gave the ball to Iguodala. Anjie's height of 2.19 meters allows him to see the situation on the court thoroughly.
Iguodala's reverse run has long been noticed by Anjie. After receiving the ball, Iguodala easily dunked and once again added two points to the Blazers.
The most terrifying thing happened. Now Anjie not only can score by himself, but also connects the whole team. The indestructible defense of the Grizzlies is about to be broken by An Jie.
After another attack by the Grizzlies, Randolph's hook was slapped out of the baseline by Anjie. Although the referee judged An Jie to interfere with the ball, An Jie's fierce defensive posture and unyielding attitude still made the Grizzlies players sweat.
After the offensive and defensive swap, Marc Gasol was directly pushed away by Anjie, allowing Anjie to complete a powerful jumping dunk under the basket. This means that Gasol's inside defense was officially defeated by Anjie.
At this time, Lionel Hollins yelled crazily towards the field. He needs the Grizzlies' defense to get tough immediately, because it's obvious that An Jie has gone completely crazy!
"Ann's big hook! Oh my god, this kind of move was only seen in the 90s."
"Small hooks make basketball progress! Yao Ming's small hooks have already dominated the league. Now, Anjie has undoubtedly inherited Yao Ming's fine traditions."
"Is this going to be another dunk!? No, Ann it's a pass! Damian Lillard gets an open 3-pointer! He makes a great shot! Assisted by Ainger, Lillard hits a 3-pointer !The No. 0 guard finally got rid of Tony Allen."
In the subsequent games, whether it was TV or ESPN, almost all the commentators used their words of praise on An Jie.
Because from the first ball in the fourth quarter, An Jie completely controlled the situation of the audience.
This time, An Jie relied on his pure strength to pry open the seemingly indestructible defense of the Grizzlies.
Tony Allen still sealed the Trail Blazers' perimeter very tightly, but Anjie, who broke out, became the biggest obstacle for the Grizzlies.
His excellent performance not only allowed the Trail Blazers to score, but also completely stopped the Grizzlies' offensive pace.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the point difference on the field became 12 points.
Relying on his own strength, An Jie abruptly pulled the Grizzlies off the boat. Their defense is really good, but for Anjie, this defense can limit the Blazers, but it cannot limit him.
The entire Blazers offense was locked by the Grizzlies, except for Anjie. This guy's incredible performance made the Iron-Blooded Division from Memphis helpless.
It wasn't until the last 45 seconds of the game that Hollins finally gave up the game. His tactics and strategies were considered very carefully, but he didn't take An Jie's outbreak into consideration. Anjie's offense made the Trail Blazers colorful in the fourth quarter. As for the Grizzlies, they are still working hard, but in front of superstars, such efforts are far from enough.
Didn’t the bad boys who stopped Jordan work hard? But their efforts still couldn’t stop Jordan’s crazy performances,
"God! This guy is simply unstoppable!" When the commentators such as Mike Breen and Yu Jia got the detailed data of the game, they were all taken aback.
37 points and 15 rebounds. Anjie's dominant statistics left Hollins speechless.
He didn't lose to Ricard, and he didn't lose to the Blazers. But because of An Jie's existence, the Grizzlies, who performed well, had to swallow the bitter pill.
"Ann is a tough defender. Of course, you can't ignore the versatility of this guy on the offensive end just because he is good on the defensive end." This is a line in the documentary "The Last Giant" directed by Spike Lee, of course , this is also the characteristic that Spike Lee summed up after following An Jie for a few days
The Grizzlies' defense may be on par with the Blazers, if not better. But on the offensive end, an Anjie gap is enough to determine the outcome of the game.
Today, the explosion of Anjie's offensive weapon forcefully blasted a hole in the Grizzlies' defense. 91 to 103, the victory of the Portland Trail Blazers is still going on! Find this site and search for "Apex Novels 208xs", or please remember the URL of this site:
