The Way of the Center

As soon as the jump ball started, the Spurs players began to shrink towards their own basket. **Vich didn't have hope for Splitter's jump ball. Instead of sitting there stupidly waiting for failure, it's better to shrink in advance to prevent the Blazers from making a surprise attack.

Anjie won the basketball for the Trail Blazers as expected, but when Lillard was holding the ball and preparing to sprint, he realized that the Spurs' defense had no loopholes.

"Take your time, Damien, take your time." Anjie yelled at Lillard, and then ran towards the frontcourt. The Spurs are an extremely cautious team, and it is obviously unrealistic to attack the opponent in a surprise manner.

Lillard gestured slowly, and the rest of the Trail Blazers ran aggressively. The first collision between ice and fire, everyone's eyes widened, waiting for the good show Cairo.

An Jie, who had already uttered harsh words, immediately sat down in the restricted area without even thinking about it. Now that Aldridge has opened up space for himself, Angie can comfortably play singles with Splitter in the paint without having to worry about Duncan's double-teaming.

Seeing this scene, Vicvic immediately stood up from the bench. Although the game has just started, An Jie's strong offensive desire still makes this wise old man feel a little nervous.

Split is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms. This Brazilian has a standard center figure. Although his personal ability is not outstanding, this guy's defensive contribution is an indispensable part of the Spurs.

**Vich now wants to know how big the gap between Splitter's defense and Anjie's offense will be in the low post one-on-one. After all, after training in the regular season, Splitter has improved a lot compared to the last time he played against Anjie.

Anjie blocked Splitter behind him with his back, and raised his long arms to ask Lillard for the ball.

Duncan planned to cruise around Anjie, waiting for an opportunity to steal. But Aldridge moved in the opposite direction. Duncan had to give up the idea.

A one-on-one insider situation quickly formed, but An Jie was not as relaxed as he saw on the surface.

The pressure that Split put on An Jie from behind greatly exceeded An Jie's expectations! This Brazilian must have spent a lot of time in the weight room, otherwise his strength would not have improved so significantly!

Although it was very difficult for Split to get An Jie the position, this level of obstruction still couldn't shake An Jie.

This guy seemed to have rooted into the ground, no matter how hard Splitter tried, An Jie remained unmoved.

Splitter did spend a lot of time in the weight room under the guidance of Vicki, but the good foundation accumulated by Anjie for so many years of training, can Splitter surpass overnight?

Lillard hung the ball over Parker's head, and Anjie spread his five fingers and firmly grasped the ball. This time, Split dared not continue to push An Jie out. If he continued to push, An Jie only needed to turn around, and he could easily pass himself with a forward center of gravity.

Split took a deep breath and stood firm on his feet, ready to accept the impact!

"Hold on, hold on!" Vicki shouted from the sidelines, signaling his players not to double-team rashly.

An Jie held the ball behind his back and looked around, but there were no double-teamers around him. So he lowered his center of gravity, started dribbling, and prepared to advance with a back cut!

"Must hold on, Tiago, hold on!" **Vichic muttered, if Splitter can really withstand the impact of Anjie, then this series will be a big deal for the Spurs. Much simpler.

Don't forget, during the regular season, Splitter made Griffin, Howard, Jefferson, Randolph and other star insiders very uncomfortable. Maybe, this guy's solid defense can also restrain An Jie?

"Boom!" Giardina, who was sitting behind the Blazers' bench, covered his mouth. The sound of the impact could be heard so clearly by the audience. God knows how much the two big guys who were fighting hand-to-hand on the court accepted. Strong impact!

As expected, Splitter took a big step back, and Vicvic frowned. Is Anjie's strength already so great?

Anjie didn't give Split a chance to breathe. In the noisy sound of the scene, Anjie made the second consecutive force. Splitter still bravely accepted all the impacts from Anjie, but the huge gap in strength and strength between the two sides forced Splitter to retreat again!

Seeing that he had stepped into the three-second zone, An Jie didn't hesitate, turned around and planned to hook with his left hand.

Splitter didn't take off, he just took a small step forward with his hands up. Don't look at this step, Splitter's forward movement has virtually increased the area of ​​contact with An Jie's body, making An Jie very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it's just the beginning of the game. Anjie is full of energy and can withstand any physical confrontation. Coupled with his soft touch in the NCAA period, the basketball is still hollow into the net under the guidance of Anjie. Split's first round The defense ended in failure.

"Thiago Splitter's defense is very smart, the guy has a very good sense of smell in defensive positioning. He can always find that point that makes the opponent uncomfortable, and then becomes a difficult point at that point. It's a pity that the Brazilian is not facing anyone else today, but the mVp of this season's regular season! We can't say that Split's defense is not good, we can only say that Ann's offense is too strong. "Bill Walton, as the first person in the history of the Trail Blazers to win the mVp award, spoke very highly of Anjie. He rarely commented on Trail Blazers games because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to remain neutral against the Blazers.

But now, Bill Wharton doesn't have to worry about going to the Blazers. Because the pioneers led by An Jie really deserve all the praise.

After scoring the goal, Anjie clapped hands with Lillard, who assisted him to score, and retreated quickly. In front of him, Tony Parker has already controlled the ball and overwhelmed him. Although the Spurs are not playing fast, they can still give people a great sense of oppression.

Splitter didn't go into the penalty area and entangle Anjie, but made a pick-and-roll for Tony Parker from the outside.

Split's pick-and-roll, which is one of the reasons why the Brazilian can gain a foothold in the Spurs. In the regular season, Splitter's pick-and-roll success rate was second only to Anjie and Marc Gasol, ranking third in the league. Whether it's the block or the split, Splitter has shown his solid basic skills.

Tony Parker successfully broke through, and this guy's instant speed is still so exaggerated. An Jie just saw Lillard being blocked, and the next second, Parker rushed in front of him.

An Jie pressed up immediately, the throw of the French sports car was excellent, and An Jie didn't intend to give him too much room to shoot.

Naturally, Parker wouldn't be so stupid as to challenge An Jie's authority, this is your territory, yes, I won't disturb it. But that doesn't mean the rest of the Spurs have the same thoughts as Parker.

Just when Parker was about to collide with Anjie, the Frenchman suddenly flicked his wrist and sent the ball away. An Jie felt a gust of wind passing behind him, someone must have slipped the bottom line and cut into the basket from behind him!

An Jie quickly turned around to block the shot, but when he turned his head, the Spurs players in black jerseys had already stood up. If An Jie jumps rashly at this distance, he will only give the opponent a chance to hit a three-pointer.

There is a large number "21" written on the back of this black jersey, and on the number is the player's name,"; Duncan slammed it, and An Jie could clearly see that the solid basketball hoops of the NBA were all moving. trembling.

"Wow, my God! The young LaMarcus failed to stop Duncan's inside cut! This guy, is he really 36 years old!?" Bill Wharton has not yet recovered from Anjie's beautiful attack Come on, I was taken aback by Duncan's earth-shattering buckle.

Duncan's smart running and the tacit cooperation between him and Parker made it very difficult for Aldridge to face this "old man".

Indeed, maybe Duncan's speed and agility are not as good as Aldridge. But this old and cunning guy can always use other factors to make up for his shortcomings.

After the goal, Duncan didn't say anything, still with his poker face. An Jie smiled, this guy is exactly the same as when I first met him five years ago!

Both sides scored a goal each after the opening, which made fans all over the world very excited. The game was so good-looking at the beginning, and it really did not disappoint people.

Subsequently, the intensity of the competition remained high. The Spurs and Trail Blazers scored frequently, and the scene became abnormal for a while.

To say that the game scene is abnormal is not because the game is ugly. On the contrary, it was because the game was played so well that people felt a little abnormal.

The offense played beautifully, which is indeed worthy of cheering by the fans, but the original tough defense of the Blazers and Spurs has disappeared.

Faced with a beautiful attack, the fans were very happy to watch, but the two coaches, Ricard and Vicki, had a bitter face.

"Hey, what the hell is this defense!" After Danny Green got another open shot, Ricard couldn't help turning around and complaining to Divac.

"The atmosphere before the start of this game was too frenzied, a bit too frenzied. The players who are full of enthusiasm are also playing crazy, who wants to defend. Otherwise, call a timeout?" Divac suggested.

"There must be a timeout. If you don't make any adjustments, these guys will forget what defense is!" Ricard walked to the sidelines and asked the referee for a timeout.

At the same time, on the Spurs' bench, Vicki also told the players to come down quickly. Even if Ricard doesn't call now, he will call a timeout immediately when the Spurs have the ball.

Although the two coaches have different qualifications and backgrounds, the gap is also huge. But now, their minds have all turned to the same point.

"Ann! You and LaMarcus switch defenses. In the next game, I don't want to see Duncan holding the ball easily!" Ricard slammed the tactical board hard.

"Strengthen the defense, divide half of your offensive enthusiasm into defense! The Trail Blazers' goal was too easy, we can't wait to feed the opponent's touch before reacting!" **Vich clenched his right fist, his tone Very tough.

Most of the first quarter was played, and both sides also vented their excitement.

But the most difficult moment of the game is about to get on the right track from now on!

Another confrontation between Anjie and Duncan, the contest between the two mVp, every time there will be different sparks...
