The Way of the Center

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

Danny Green, a player who studied in North Carolina and studied under Roy Williams, an indelible legendary coach in the history of college basketball, has become the biggest problem for the Trail Blazers on the court at this moment.

Being on a collegiate team like North Carolina's, even just one year, can be beneficial. As for Danny Green, he played for four full years in college.

In four years, the smart Green, in addition to being good at the game, has also fully understood what the team means. Coach Roy Williams spent four years training Green to perfection. Of course, this guy is not the kind of superstar player. His perfection does not lie in scoring 20 or 30 points in a game and then leading the team to victory.

His perfection lies in his ability to adapt to any system. To be precise, although Green is not the kind of star player, all teams need someone like him. Now, as long as Popovich gives an order, Danny Green will come forward!

He is more like a "sleeping", what you need him to do on weekdays, he will do it. Never complain and never ask for more. But when you need him to wake up and attack at some point, Green can also do a good job.

Such a role is simply tailor-made for the San Antonio Spurs.

"The cooperation of the Spurs is really exquisite. Their conduction of the ball has never stopped! The Blazers' defense is indeed very strong. If it were any other team, they might have been torn out of the gap long ago! Danny. Green, the basketball finally hit Green! He shot directly from beyond the three-point line! Did you go in! A three-point hit! My God, Danny Green, the 46th pick in the second round of 2009 A guy who just got drafted and completely dominated the second quarter!"

When that three-pointer was made by Green again, his number of goals in the second quarter also became 3. However, that was only Green's fourth shot just now.

He made 3 of 4 shots, all from beyond the three-point line. When the Spurs' inside offense was tightly contained, Danny Green used a shot to help the Spurs open the situation.

"Damn it!" An Jie looked at the big screen above his head. The Blazers, who were leading by two points, were now behind by seven points. Green fired from beyond the arc, something Angie couldn't do anything about. The only thing he can do is to protect the rebound as much as possible. However, Green's abnormally high shooting percentage did not give Anjie a chance to grab rebounds at all.

For the Trail Blazers to attack, Leonard was still sent by Popovich to defend Lillard, and Ricard still chose to use Iguodala to organize the offense.

Although Iguodala did a good job,

But Lillard, the team's main scoring point, was stifled, which also brought a lot of losses to the Trail Blazers.

This year, Lillard's offensive power is definitely an important force that the Trail Blazers cannot ignore. As Iguodala grows older, his ability to score independently is not as good as before. It would be a waste of resources if Leonard was kept by Iguodala's side.

Lillard tried his best to move to get rid of it, but Leonard's defensive pace was no slower than Lillard's. His entanglement prevented Lillard from getting a chance at all!

There is no way, Iguodala had to deal with this offense by himself. He first looked inside, and Anjie was defended by Duncan. Duncan is a seasoned guy, he has a lot of experience in defense. Iguodala did not dare to throw the ball to Anjie rashly. First of all, he is not a pure point guard, and he may not pass this kind of ball well. Secondly, now that the team is behind, we must not take risks!

So Iguodala flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew over Danny Green's head and flew towards the inside. But this time, it was not Anjie who caught the ball, but Aldridge!

I don't know if it's because of his mother's illness, but since Aldridge learned of this incident, he has played a big explosive performance. And this performance has continued into the playoffs.

Now, even if Anjie is watched dead by Duncan, Aldridge can carry the banner of offense. Boris Dior? This guy does have a set on the offensive end, but defensively, he has not yet contained Aldridge's ability.

After Aldridge received the ball, he didn't make extra moves. He turned over and shot a jumper, and the basketball went into the net hollow.

In this way, Duncan and Popovich are a little embarrassed. Aldridge has obviously become the sharpest spear of the Trail Blazers. Should he continue to defend Anjie or let Duncan temporarily return to the fourth position to defend? This became a choice that caused Popovich a lot of headaches.

But in the next round, Popovich made a choice. Because of An Jie, he easily scored a goal on Duncan's head.

An Jie found that facing an old and cunning guy like Duncan, he couldn't continue to use the standing style of play. Isn't Duncan old now? Well, let's fight him!

So this time, Anjie didn't give Iguodala a problem. Now that Lillard is restrained by Leonard, Anjie will organize the attack himself!

The No. 00 center in a white jersey ran straight to the high post and asked Iguodala for the ball.

The reason why Anjie likes to stay in the low post now is because with Anjie's current ability, he can attack immediately after receiving the ball in the low post, and few people can stop him. In short, how to save effort. After all, for a young leader, Anjie played a lot of time in every game. And this simple method will undoubtedly save An Jie a lot of energy.

But now, Duncan is no ordinary opponent. Therefore, An Jie had to use some unusual methods to deal with the "Stone Buddha".

Seeing Anjie holding the ball in a high position, all the Spurs players dared not rush forward. An Jie's height allows him to see gaps in any corner of the court. The most frightening thing is that as long as there is a gap, Anjie will definitely be able to pass the ball!

Therefore, in order to prevent loopholes in the defense, the only thing the rest of the Spurs can do is to stick to their own matchup as much as possible and prevent Anjie from finding opportunities for assists.

Duncan is facing a big enemy, he feels like David Robinson back then. And Anjie is the omnipotent Olajuwon within the three-point line!

Seeing that his teammates had no chance, An Jie took the ball raised above his head to his chest, then arched his back and lowered his center of gravity. This is a signal that an outside player is about to break through!

Tony Parker planned to step forward to catch Anjie by surprise, but Matthews' active running pushed Parker to a position far away from Anjie. Parker can't let Matthews go, after all, this guy is the most stable point for the Trail Blazers outside the three-point line. If Matthews gets an open seat, it may not be worth the candle.

Now, no one can help An Jie, and no one can help Duncan. Popovich couldn't help but focus. This scene is so similar to the scene of "Big Dream" against "Admiral" in the 1990s!

Anjie began to dribble alternately with his left and right hands, and Duncan tried his best to open his arms without fear.

Just when the cheers of all the fans were about to lift the ceiling of the Moda Center, An Jie suddenly took a big step to start it! This starting speed and skillful dribbling ability are not comparable to other centers in the league!

The basic training of Anjie's father, Divac and Ricard played a decisive role at this moment! An Jie rushed in front of Duncan, but suddenly changed direction, intending to pass the only obstacle between himself and the basket!

"Small skills!" Duncan is also a veteran who has been in the NBA for almost 20 years. Duncan has seen countless people do it countless times for Anjie's sudden change of direction.

"Stone Buddha" instinctively moved a step sideways, betting on An Jie's breakthrough route to death!

At the moment when the two were about to collide, An Jie could still adjust the steps under his feet. An Jie turned around quickly, facing Duncan with his back. Duncan knew at a glance that An Jie wanted to lean on him and turn around.

Once again, Duncan judged An Jie's intentions. It's a pity that An Jie's turn around was so beautiful that even Duncan couldn't block it in time.

Seeing that An Jie's body was about to pass by him, Duncan couldn't help but change his focus, planning to try his best to chase the basket.

"Heh..." At this moment, Duncan seemed to hear a sneer from An Jie. The next second, Duncan's eyes were suddenly empty, and there was no one there. He only felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and when he turned around, An Jie had jumped high, ready to wreak havoc on the basket again?

"What?..." Duncan immediately recalled everything in his mind. When An Jie turned around to pass him, it seemed that he only turned halfway, and An Jie turned back to the original direction, holding the ball. broke through.

But this is impossible? An Jie is a center forward. How could a center have such flexible footwork? Extraordinary after a half-turn feint? Looking around, only Olajuwon in the entire NBA can do all this! Wait, Olajuwon?

That's right, even Olajuwon himself admitted that Anjie's foundation has surpassed himself. Thinking of this, Duncan didn't seem so surprised. This is the strength of two consecutive MVP winners.

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" of of course, An Jie.

"Retreat! Retreat!" After scoring the goal, An Jie yelled with a ferocious expression. None of the Trail Blazers players dared to be negligent, and they immediately returned to defense one by one, and took their respective defensive positions.

With that ball just now, An Jie's half-turn had already tricked Duncan into changing his focus. At this time, if you break through in the opposite direction, the old Duncan will definitely not be able to react. Everyone knows this truth. What people are amazed at is how could Anjie be so tall in terms of footwork. He is simply a small forward with a height of 2.19 meters!

"An is really a kaleidoscope on the offensive end. As long as he steps into the three-point line, there will be nothing that will fail! The series of actions he made to break through Duncan just now were done in one go. You can't tell that this guy is actually a traditional center! No wonder Duncan, I can only say that Ann's offensive skills are too gorgeous? What? You said that Ann can't shoot three-pointers? With An's ability, he can definitely practice three-pointers, but that is a waste of talent! Let this A monster from the penalty area is pulled out to shoot a three-pointer, unless Coach Ricard's brain is caught by the door!" Mike Breen was completely knocked out by the goal of this wonderful matchup, the one-on-one match between "The Butcher" and "Stone Buddha" The duel will definitely be regarded as a classic like Olajuwon vs. Robinson in 1995.

This attack made Popovich no longer consider whether to let Duncan defend Anjie or Aldridge. Do you dare to let go of An Jie in this state?

After the goal was scored, the Trail Blazers' confidence was boosted. Duncan is still locked up, Parker is still leading the Spurs' offense, and Danny Green is responsible for continuing to snipe.

I have to admit that Parker and Green's firepower is very strong today. According to their state today, the score should have been opened long ago.

However, it is precisely because the Trail Blazers have Anjie and Aldridge that the score has not been expanded.

Anjie and Aldridge both shot left and right in the hinterland of the Spurs, fully reflecting the title of "the most offensive inside combination in the league". Especially An Jie, this guy has repeatedly played wonderful singles in high positions, which has given fans all over the world a new understanding of him.

Popovich roared loudly on the sidelines, but there was no way, the momentum of those two guys from the Trail Blazers was too strong!

It doesn't matter if Leonard locks up Lillard, Anjie and Aldridge will fight back with his share!

In the end, at the end of the half, the Spurs temporarily led by one point 55 to 54 with more three-pointers.

Moreover, if Ginobili's serpentine breakthrough hadn't reappeared in the last attack of the second quarter, the Spurs would be behind now!

The playoffs are simply a hotbed for creating classic images, Kobe and the Big Three of the Celtics, James and Durant, Jordan vs. Bird... These images have become part of the wealth of the NBA. I believe that every single ball that Anjie played with Duncan in the high position just now will be talked about by fans in the future.

The Spurs really played an impressive performance, and Danny Green's extremely high three-point shooting rate really made An Jie very admired.

But I'm sorry, Anjie will lead his team and do better than the Spurs! When Anjie is fully opened on the offensive end, God knows how much hope this beast will leave for the Spurs... Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
