The Way of the Center

Chapter 653: Regrouping

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

At the moment the game ended, Wu Hua quickly raised the camera. The picture of Divac raising his arms with his back to the auditorium was forever frozen by him.

Although after that, the headlines of the major media must be An Jie. But I have to admit that it is because of the existence of these guys that An Jie's career can be so colorful.

ESPN's camera focused on Anjie who was hugging his teammates one by one, and the director also attached Anjie's data today at the bottom of the screen.

46 points, 20 rebounds, 4 blocks and 6 assists. When Howard, who was sitting in the locker room watching TV, saw this set of statistics, he suddenly felt powerless.

The self who was able to replace James alone back then, the self who was loved by fans back then, the self who led the Magic to the finals stage. Now, he was beaten like this by a Chinese who came out halfway.

Howard will not use the fact that he was sent off as an excuse. He knows that even if he is on the court, with Anjie's state today, he can still play beautiful statistics.

The No. 1 pick in 2004, the last high school No. 1 pick in NBA history... He never imagined that the tenth year of his career would become so miserable.

Warcraft turned off the TV screen, and he lowered his head, slumped in front of the locker like a walking dead. Huge frustration filled Howard's body at this moment. Even if he missed the championship that year, Howard never felt so uncomfortable.

Anjie, Anjie, this guy may have really thrown himself far behind the mirror...

※※※

An Jie accepted all reporters' interviews in a happy mood, which was in stark contrast to the scene where he left straight away in the last scene.

The Trail Blazers not only achieved a big victory against a strong opponent, but Anjie also scored a very exaggerated super stat.

40+20, such a number just appearing on the headlines of the news is enough to bluff people.

However, only those who have watched the game know how outstanding An Jie's performance was in the process.

In Anjie's eyes, the inside of the Rockets seems to be similar to playing in the Asian Championships. Ever since Howard left the field, no one has been able to stop Anjie from wreaking havoc inside.

O'Neill even said during the game,

Anjie's offense is already legendary. Throughout NBA history, he can't think of any center whose offensive skills can be as comprehensive as Anjie.

The four major centers back then can be said to have their own characteristics, but An Jie seems to have the characteristics of all of them in one body.

O'Neal's comments are naturally a bit exaggerated, but it also shows from the side how gorgeous Anjie's offensive performance was in this game.

It was so gorgeous that someone like O'Neill, who is used to being venomous, praised it without reservation.

Even though Anjie was the only player left on the court, he was still patiently answering the reporters' questions.

In the end, he also said a word to the cameras of the media: "Take a good rest, boss, and you, LaMarcus. You have also seen it, and I will not let the team go wrong!"

What Angie said while pointing at the camera drove countless Trail Blazers fans into a frenzy. Of course, this also pleased Aldridge and Ricard who were in the hospital.

40+20, this is Anjie's reassurance for Ricard and Aldridge.

And, everyone knows it. The explosion of this guy, An Jie, is not just a mere game.

After defeating the Rockets and scoring 40+20 data, Anjie once again consolidated his position at the top of the MVP rankings.

At this time last year, James and Angie were battling each other on the list. But this year, Anjie has a clear advantage.

Perhaps, the appearance of an Asian, a big man, has greatly stimulated the needs of the fans and the needs of the market.

People have seen too many stories of trapeze players ruling the league, and James won the championship only after forming the Big Three.

Now, a guy who suddenly appears out of the ordinary way will naturally be loved by the media and fans. The possibility of winning the regular season MVP for two consecutive years has also increased.

In the next few games, Anjie maintained his explosive state.

Facing Love and the Timberwolves, who also dislike Anjie, the Trail Blazers presented a long-lost winning streak to the fans at the Moda Center.

Due to Pekovic's injury, Adelman had to send Dante Cunlingham and Kevin Love to face Anjie.

One of these two guys was born as a small forward and the other was born as a guard. And now, it's almost comical to have the two of them play against a purely traditional center.

Do you think Adelman wants this? If he still had Yao Ming under his command, he would not be afraid of An Jie at all. It's a pity that among those who can still play in the Timberwolves, this is the inside combination he can get the most out of.

However, the consequences of such an inside combination on the field are not much better than Asik and Jones.

Anjie's activeness allowed him to score 35 points and 18 rebounds in the game. Although Love also had 31 points and 8 rebounds in the account, his performance was undoubtedly overshadowed by Anjie.

97 to 108, the Trail Blazers welcomed two consecutive victories. And An Jie also officially announced the alliance with actions: "If you want to restrain me, at least you have to come up with an authentic center forward."

Facts have proved that the practice of using players from other positions to play inside and using the fourth position to play the fifth position must not be used on An Jie!

The Nuggets may have learned the lesson of the Rockets and Timberwolves. On the day they played against the Trail Blazers, Nuggets coach Brian Shaw started the European traditional center Timofey Mozgov, a big Russian man.

Mozgov's performance at the beginning was remarkable, and many Nuggets fans even thought that they finally had the weapon to restrain Anjie!

But only five minutes later, Anjie, who was familiar with Mozgov's playing style, started his crazy performance again.

Mozgov's slow footwork allowed Anjie to beat the Russian to the ground just by turning around and breaking through the move.

Perhaps Mozgov is indeed very traditional, and he also has many advantages that the American insiders do not have.

But let this guy fight against An Jie and still desire to win. It can only be said that Brian Xiao still underestimates the double MVP in front of him.

Anjie is a guy who may surpass O'Neal. Brian Shaw doesn't understand others, he should be very clear about how terrifying O'Neill's dominance is.

Using Mozgov to face O'Neal, thinking about it this way, you know how unreliable Brian Shaw's life-saving straw is.

31 points and 25 rebounds, yes, a full 25 rebounds! This data also allowed Anjie to break his previous record of 23 rebounds in a single game.

These 25 rebounds are not all defensive rebounds. Anjie's 10 offensive rebounds have a very high gold content.

Seven of those 10 rebounds turned the Blazers' move into a second-offensive score.

Because of this, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Nuggets 105 to 88 in the away game. Three consecutive victories, when Ricard and Aldridge were injured, the media predicted the demise of the Trail Blazers, and it didn't happen.

But An Jie's seemingly impossible outburst was still going on.

In the last game in February, the Trail Blazers met the fifth-ranked Brooklyn Nets at home.

Before the start of the season, the Nets were recruiting everywhere, forming a terrifying lineup consisting of Pierce, Garnett, Deron, and Joe Johnson.

But it turns out that when a group of stars who have passed their prime get together to play, the effect is often not as good as imagined.

Although the Nets' record this season is not bad, for a team aiming at the championship, the fifth place in the Eastern Conference obviously did not meet their expectations.

The most intuitive feeling for Anjie in this game is that Garnett and the others are really old.

Today is not just inside, the Nets can be said to be unable to compare with the Trail Blazers in all aspects.

Seven of the Blazers scored in double figures today, and even Allen Crabbe, a guy who usually doesn't get a chance to play, scored 13 points on "Single Joe" today.

Because his teammates scored a lot of points, Anjie only scored 23 points and 14 rebounds today. But the Trail Blazers once again slaughtered New York with a huge score difference of 124 to 80.

After the game, Garnett and Anjie sighed helplessly when they hugged each other.

"You know, buddy." Pierce couldn't help but elbowed Garnett, seeing Angie so happy celebrating the victory. "This era is no longer our era."

Garnett didn't respond, he just nodded slightly. Although this proud wolf king is never willing to admit defeat, but in 2014 today, he must also admit his old age.

Four consecutive victories, with a total record of 40 wins and 6 losses. The Trail Blazers seem to be on the right track again after a rough patch before and after the All-Star break.

Lack of head coach and second in command? It doesn't matter, as long as the Trail Blazers don't lack An Jie, they will still be a strong team that is difficult to beat!

After this game, the regular season has entered the end of March, but the Blazers, who have led for a whole season, seem to be able to continue to sprint.

Then keep going, let the entire league be trampled by the Blazers! Let the entire basketball world be dominated by An Jie's terror! Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
