The Way of the Center

Chapter 71: Return

After the first NBA game, most Chinese fans were in a state of extreme excitement. Because that day, the three Chinese big men all played outstanding performances in the NBA.

Chinese basketball icon Yao Ming scored a game-high 21 points and added 10 rebounds as the Houston Rockets beat the Memphis Grizzlies 82-71 at home. The first win of the season, Yao Ming's state also reassures everyone.

In another game, the New Jersey Nets challenged the Washington Wizards away. In the end, the Nets overcame many difficulties and won the Wizards 95-85 by 10 points.

Yi Jianlian, a Chinese player who just transferred to the Nets, was reused. He played 31 minutes in the game and scored 17 points and 6 rebounds, including two three-pointers. Transferring to a new club, Yi Jianlian consolidated his position in the team with his excellent performance in the first game.

In the last game, the Thunder ushered in the challenge of the Milwaukee Bucks at home. In the end, the Thunder lost 87 to 98. Although the Thunder lost, Chinese rising star An Jie played well, with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. An Jie's performance in his NBA debut completely surpassed the two seniors above him. But even so, Anjie is the only player among the three who has not tasted the victory.

Anjie was already sweating profusely on the training ground, and Westbrook handed the ball to Anjie again after failing to make a breakthrough. Anjie held the ball in the high post, and Durant immediately ran around the tower.

The wide field of vision allows Anjie to have a clear view of the situation on the court. Durant cuts inside, and Anjie's precise and timely pass gives Durant a chance to go up to the basket.

"Oh, my God, I don't play like this." This is the third time that Anjie has assisted in the confrontation training. Nick Collison is helplessly on his hips. Insert the key.

However, Anjie's excellent performance cannot impress everyone, and Thunder coach P.J. Carlesimo is one of them.

"Ann! You can't keep getting the ball in the high post like this! You get the low post and get ready to grab the rebound at any time! You can only withdraw when Durant breaks through!" Carlesimo yelled at An Jie dissatisfied, and in In his eyes, the center does not have the function of organizing offense at all.

An Jie nodded helplessly. It's not impossible to fall into a low position, but An Jie's initiative on the offensive end is much less. Durant also couldn't understand the head coach's approach. Anjie's support pass in the high position is very threatening, and Anjie also has the offensive ability in the high position. But P.J. Carlesimo doesn't care so much, he has his own method of using the center in his mind.

Thunder general manager Sam Presti watched everything that happened on the training ground through the floor-to-ceiling windows in his office.

"Wait a little longer." Presti cleared his mind, and looked through the pile of documents on the desk again.

...................................

Paul Philips and Bill once again sat in this familiar studio, and the crazy performance of the Cyclones last season seemed to be vividly remembered. In a blink of an eye, the new season of NCAA games is about to begin.

In half an hour, the Iowa State University Cyclones will play a pre-season warm-up game at home. The opponents they invite to participate are not strong. The purpose of this game is just to let Ricard see the newcomers strength.

"You know about that, right?" Bill finished arranging his clothes before the live broadcast started, and sat next to Paul Philips.

"What's the matter?" Philips was confused by the endless questions.

"Oh my God, you're still a loyal fan of the Cyclones." Bill shook his head, "Andrew Morris is back, and he was once again recruited by Ricard!"

Paul Philips widened his eyes after hearing the news,

It was the first time he had heard of this matter.

"Didn't that kid get seriously injured before!?"

"Yes, but that guy is as strong as a cow. God knows how far he can recover. He is likely to appear in today's game, and all the mysteries will be solved by then." Bill's news made Paul .Philips became excited for a moment, and this seemingly ordinary warm-up match also had a wonderful point of view.

Inside the stadium, all the Cyclones fans watched in disbelief as a player warmed up on the field. A tall, strong guy with tattooed arms was clearly the center of attention. Morris was warming up for shooting on the court, and Ricard said that he would be properly allowed to try it in this game.

"Big bull! Come on!" The fans suddenly shouted from the audience, and Morris was very relieved that he had not been forgotten by the fans.

How can I forget? As the all-powerful whirlwind three Musketeers at that time, now that Mike Taylor and An Jie have gone to a higher stage, the fans can only place their hopes on Morris.

Jump, shoot, land. Morris unconsciously turned the injured foot that had made him desperate. But fortunately, as far as the current feeling is concerned, there is no problem with that foot.

"Okay! Come back, lads!" Ricard yelled iconically from the sidelines. When Morris heard this voice, he felt that his whole body was full of energy!

After the tactics were arranged, the game started as scheduled. Due to the departure of the two cores of the Cyclones last season, Anjie and Taylor, the strength of the Cyclones this season is greatly reduced. However, in the concept of Ricard's overall priority, the disadvantage of insufficient personal ability has also been gradually downplayed. Under Ricard's arrangement, everyone can use their strengths and avoid weaknesses to make the greatest contribution to the team.

On the court, the Cyclone team relied on tacit cooperation to control the situation very well. The whole game was carried out in such a calm rhythm, and every fan on the scene was waiting for one person to appear on the field.

The Cyclone's opponent, the West Virginia University Mountaineers, faced a disadvantage and had to call another timeout. At this time, there were only 2 minutes and 50 seconds left before the end of the first half. Ricard took a look at Morris, and Morris Rees just nodded slightly to Ricard.

"Morris, go!" Rickard gave an order, and Morris immediately felt his blood boil. He stood up with a "bass" and quickly took off his training jacket.

"Morris is going to play!" The Cyclone fans at the scene suddenly became agitated, and their cheers were several times louder than before.

Morris looked at his jersey. It was still the same number and color, but someone had been fighting for him to wear this jersey for a long time. Now, the real owner of this jersey finally returned to the court!

"Morris! Morris! Morris! Morris!" The fans of the Cyclones shouted the names of their heroes neatly and regularly. Morris waved his hand at the stands, and then focused on the basketball court. He was ready to fight!

"Louis Crane's impact! If there is any threat to the Mountaineers, Crane is undoubtedly the last sharp tooth of the Mountaineers!" Philips spit, the point guard of the Mountaineers has already used Breakthroughs again and again brought a lot of trouble to the Cyclones.

This time, he still broke through the defense of his opponent with ease. Looking at the penalty area where no one had time to defend, he knew that his own performance time was coming again!

Accelerate, take off, layup! Louis Crane was already smiling in the air. With his performance in this game, no one can shake his main position in the team!

"Crack!" A huge hand stretched out from the side, and slapped Kelan's basketball before it was shot! After the basketball was slapped, the defender knocked Crane down heavily due to inertia, but the ball had already gone out, and the referee didn't respond.

"Oh! As soon as Morris came on stage, he gave Crane a big bloody brat!" Paul Philips in the studio was emotional, and the Cyclones fans at the scene were even more crazy about it.

Kelan, who fell on the ground, supported his aching back. It didn't matter if the ball was blocked, but he was knocked out by the strong impact. What if he was injured. Crane raised his head, ready to see who hit him so cruelly.

As soon as he looked up, he met Morris' fierce eyes.

"I'll fuck you once you come in!" Morris said viciously, and waved his fist.

Crane was hairy all over, he was intimidated by this big black guy!

Angie, Taylor. You wait, I will meet you right away!

Morris thought about hammering his chest, the players at West Virginia University should be unlucky...
