The Way of the Center

Chapter 67: Twin Stars Shine

Another Chinese, the players of the Bucks are very familiar with Chinese players, because Yi Jianlian has just transferred from the Bucks, the players of the Bucks will not forget that Chinese is in the team so quickly Performance.

The technique is delicate and the touch is soft, but the running-in with the team is slow, and the physical confrontation is seriously insufficient. This is Bogut's understanding of Yi Jianlian, and it is also his current understanding of Anjie.

Yi plays the position of power forward, and he still has the opportunity to go out and fly a kite. Where can you escape as a center forward? Bogut was secretly happy, today he really got a chance to show himself!

An Jie knew that the No. 1 pick at level 05 hadn't been able to show his worth, but that didn't mean he was an opponent who could be underestimated. Bogut is only suffering from injuries, coupled with his unsteady performance, so the average data per game is a little ugly. But in terms of hard power, this Australian center is definitely not an idler!

After Durant was taken down, the Thunder's offensive responsibility naturally fell to Westbrook and Anjie. The fans shouted the names of these two first-year students, hoping that they can fully demonstrate their talents on the NBA court.

Chris Wilcox mentioned the high post to pick and roll for Westbrook, and Angie ran out of the three-second zone to make room for Westbrook to break through.

Michael Reed tried his best to avoid the wall, but as soon as Westbrook started, Reed was thrown halfway away immediately.

"It's too fast!" At the moment of Westbrook's breakthrough, Michael Reid thought he was facing the Flash Wade.

After easily breaking into the penalty area, Westbrook suddenly braked and raised the ball with both hands to shoot!

Reid tried his best to take off from behind to interfere, and Bogut also rushed to the penalty area to prepare for defense.

However, Westbrook only moved his hands, but the soles of his feet were firmly planted on the floor. After tricking Andrew Bogut into jumping up, Westbrook made an easy pass and just passed the ball into the hands of Angie who was cutting inside.

The ball was passed very comfortably. After Anjie got the ball, he didn't even need to dribble. He jumped up and dunked the basketball into Bogut's astonished eyes.

"An Jie! Beautiful! An Jie completed his first scoring in the NBA! A wonderful one-handed dunk!" When Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were resting off the court, it was An Jie who ignited the hearts of Chinese fans again. passion.

Bogut knew that there was nothing unusual about Anjie's goal. He just happened to run into the open space. As long as it was an NBA-level insider, anyone could score the ball under that situation.

What surprised him was Westbrook's realistic fake moves and his offensive threat! If the ball was replaced by Quincy Dolby's breakthrough, he would never be cheated, and he would never have to go all out to defend and lead to a miss. However, this first-year rookie is no worse than those seasoned star guards in terms of momentum.

"An~~~~~Jie!" After Anjie scored a dunk, the on-site announcer also shouted Anjie's name loudly into the microphone, and this move completely ignited the Thunder stands. Fans are expecting that these two rookies may really be able to save the struggling Thunder team.

Basketball is different from football. It is impossible to prevent all attacks on the basketball court, so the Bucks were not disrupted by An Jie's goal.

Michael Reid knows what Bogut thinks, and now the Chinese center's playing will be a great opportunity for the Bucks to open up the situation inside. Therefore, the Bucks did not run any complicated tactics in this offense. As soon as Reed dribbled the ball to the top arc of the three-point line, he immediately hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

"Bogut singles Anjie!" The commentator on the webcast platform became nervous.

Light weight, average strength. The reason why Bogut can do a lot when carrying the basket is that

More is to rely on his tenacious will and delicate control of basketball.

An Jie obviously felt that the impact brought by Bogut was not that strong, but his flexible and changeable footsteps made An Jie a little unpredictable.

Quick and powerful turn around! Bogut made a sudden movement, holding the ball in his right hand, ready to hook.

"Damn it!" However, Anjie's defensive range after the jump was beyond Bogut's imagination, and he found that he lacked confidence in the ball.

The basketball was shot, but was violently slapped back by An Jie!

"A block!" The commentator shouted hoarsely. But in the next second, the referee's hasty whistle made all the cheers disappear without a trace.

"This ball is a thug! It's a pity!"

Anjie raised his hand to indicate that he was fouled, and he did hit Bogut's palm with the ball. But Bogut is not as calm as Anjie. Although he made a foul on this ball, he has also seen the horror of Anjie's defensive area.

"Good job." Michael Reid patted Bogut on the shoulder, and Bogut just smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, it was a foul! Otherwise, I will lose all face!

In the first free throw, the basketball bounced a few times on the rim, but still bumped into the net.

In the second free throw, the basketball was still bumping against the basket, but this time the ending was completely opposite to the last free throw.

Villanueva squeezed into the penalty area with all his strength, ready to compete with the Chinese rookie for offensive rebounds. In the previous team training, he could always easily get rebounds on Yi Jianlian's head.

But this time, the Chinese obviously didn't let him do whatever he wanted!

An Jie's position not only blocked Villanueva, but also blocked everyone else from the penalty area. No matter how hard Villanueva tried, An Jie remained firmly on the spot, motionless.

Without a favorable position, Villanueva was completely unable to compete with An Jie, who had an advantage in height and wingspan. This Chinese is completely different from the previous one!

A seemingly simple free throw missed, but Anjie and Villanueva refreshed their understanding of each other in the confrontation.

"A power forward at the NBA level? His strength is nothing more than that!" An Jie's confidence increased greatly. He didn't know how much his hard work had improved him!

After taking off the rebound, Anjie passed the ball steadily to Westbrook, and the Thunder once again launched an attack on the Bucks' hinterland.

After Westbrook broke through several times in a row, the players of the Bucks were all but empty. This rookie has a strong body and lightning-fast speed, and he has no confidence in attacking the basket at all!

They don't know how big a mistake they have made.

Seeing Westbrook passing the ball again, Michael Reid strengthened his evaluation of Westbrook. He unconsciously let the fourth pick take a few steps, ready to defend more threatening opponents at any time.

After several passes, the basketball came to Durant's substitute, Desmond Mason, who made a breakthrough after a few tentative steps. Michael Reid knew that the moment the opponent broke through would be the best time to steal the ball!

He moved a step in Mason's direction, reaching out to steal the ball, but Mason suddenly passed the ball while advancing, and now Westbrook has the ball!

Although Michael Reid lost some defensive positions, he knew that the rookie's three-point shooting was unstable, and this guy might not dare to shoot yet. So Reid didn't immediately make up for it, he underestimated the enemy a bit.

Unexpectedly, Westbrook jumped up high and straightened his whole body! This shooting method really made Michael Reid almost want to laugh out loud. The higher the jump, the more accurate the shot is. Looking at Westbrook's slightly stiff shot, Reid felt that the defense was successfully completed.

The basketball hit the hoop heavily, but it didn't pop out, but spun around the hoop crazily a few times. Angie and Bogut pushed and shoved each other under the basket, not wanting to give way to each other. However, the seemingly overstretched basketball did not spin out along the basket, but fell into the net after the spin stopped.

"This goal is really..." Anjie remembered the unreasonable three-pointer that Westbrook scored against Mike Taylor's defense in the Sweet 16 last season. It's really very similar. They all seem to be inaccurate, but in the end they hit accurately.

"It seems that Russell Westbrook has adapted very well to the relatively far three-point line in the NBA. Presti has always had a good vision. Westbrook must be worth looking forward to!"

5 to 1, this is the result of two 08-level rookies leading the Thunder in two rounds after Anjie played and partnered with Westbrook.

One ball and two balls are a coincidence, but when Westbrook scored the ball again with an emergency stop jumper after borrowing Angie's pick-and-roll, all members of the Bucks had to face up to these two kids.

Some rookies may not be able to find the state to play in the NBA for a long time, while some rookies can immediately show their power as soon as they play. Kevin Durant, who is sitting off the court right now, is a living and positive example, and these two teammates of his may also be the same kind of players as him!

However, the Bucks still hold a 6-point advantage, and they are not in a hurry, not to mention that the score of 7 to 1 is not an offensive climax.

Michael Reid is determined to break the Bucks' scoring drought in this attack!

shake! The real Reed made Westbrook feel great pressure! He Michael Reid is a typical example of growing from a second-round pick to an All-Star. Arrogance has never been his style.

Reed stopped suddenly, ready to shoot. Westbrook knew that Reid was one of the top shooters in the NBA. He didn't dare to just stand still and interfere, but jumped with all his strength, intending to block the shot.

"By Buddha! Reed taught the young Westbrook a good lesson!" After Westbrook was clicked, Reid immediately retreated to the three-point line, raised the ball and shot, all in one go.

"Boom!" But beyond everyone's expectations, Reed's performance went wrong.

"What! Didn't make it!?" Michael Reed looked at the basketball that knocked out of the frame in disbelief, and had already forgotten that the white lightning bolt had rushed to the frontcourt.

An Jie picked off the rebound and made another long throw that seemed destined to go out of bounds. However, the unwilling Michael Reid did not give up chasing back. He went straight to Westbrook, hoping to avenge his shame with a beautiful interception.

Under the strong pressure of Michael Reed, Westbrook could barely catch the basketball. At this moment, in order to chase the ball, he had already run to the side of the backboard, and he was about to surpass the backboard.

Westbrook quickly glanced back, then threw the ball at the backboard, and he rushed directly out of the baseline because of the huge inertia brought by this speed.

Seeing Westbrook throwing the ball at the backboard indiscriminately, Reid thought he was trying to draw a foul. But the referee didn't blow the whistle, and Reid dropped Westbrook, ready to accept the rebound.

Just as the basketball hit the backboard and rebounded, a tall white figure suddenly stood in front of Reed. The comer didn't jump very high, but his long arms still reached the basketball. Andrew Bogut followed the white figure to take off, but Reed's teammate was indeed at a disadvantage in terms of height.

Anjie caught the refracted basketball in the air, and now there was nothing to stop him. Kings, watch carefully, you don't need me, it doesn't mean I'm worthless. After An Jie caught the basketball rebounding in the air, he smashed the ball with both hands like a hoop!

"Oh! Beautiful alley-oop! Westbrook's second pass, and Anjie's tacit follow-up! Top ten! Today's top ten cannot do without this fast break! Incredible tacit understanding! Unbelievable goal!" Chinese basketball commentators have always been complained by fans about their lack of passion. When they saw their compatriots score such a wonderful goal in the NBA, their passion that had been accumulated for many years burst out at that moment.

Reed stared blankly at An Jie who roared towards the audience after landing, and suddenly he felt that maybe the NBA stage was really about to change hands to these young people.

When Westbrook ran back to his own half, he jumped on Anjie's back. Both young people were full of smiles. At least at that moment, they were the focus of the entire court!

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, not to mention Westbrook and Angie are the two most fearless of death in this group of calves.

The No. 16 center outside this system seems to be slightly different from the previous Chinese players.

A perfect debut, but it is impossible for the Bucks to surrender so easily.
