The Way of the Center

Chapter 718: The Embarrassing James Legion

From the Rookie of the Year to the MVP of two consecutive doubles, from the rookie first team to the best defensive first team for four consecutive years, the best defensive player for three consecutive years, and the best team for three consecutive years. All-Star Game mvp, Asian Championships mvp... Of course, the most important thing is the two championship trophies lying quietly in the showroom.

An Jie's career is not long, but he has almost won the honor he can get. Looking at the entire alliance, although there are still many strong players, few people can surpass An Jie in honor.

People were a bit apprehensive at first, that a Chinese person would lose motivation after all this miracle. For a superstar, the most terrifying thing is losing motivation, losing the desire to win. However, this season has just begun, and Anjie has answered everyone with his continuous excellent performance: he is still one of the best players in the league, and he will still be like a bloodthirsty beast, holding on to victory and honor. Always looking forward to.

Defeating the old club Thunder in the first game of the season and scoring a large double-double of 32+13 is just an appetizer. Anjie and the more crazy performances of the Trail Blazers are left behind.

In front of the TV, in the voice of her son yelling, Catherine witnessed An Jie winning the championship ring for the second time at home. An Jie on TV was very happy. The loud noise from the fans made the commentator wearing earphones almost unable to hear what his partner said.

"Did you see, Xiao Ke, we are all proud of your father." Catherine kissed her newborn baby. Although Catherine was not present at this moment, she was happier than Anjie.

The awarding ceremony of the championship ring came to an end, and the excited Trail Blazers players must hold their breath to deal with the next opponent.

On the other side of the court, a strong big man was gearing up and couldn't wait to fight An Jie.

What could be more exciting than an away win against a team that just won a championship ring? The big guy was bouncing around, and he had a special training with his colleagues from the US team and the old coach K. This guy must show An Jie, who owns the NBA!

"DeMarcus, be fierce on the defensive end, don't let Ann get a chance easily! But be careful, don't be led into the circle by Ann. I want you to defend fiercely and control your emotions! "Kings coach Mike Malone put his head next to the big man's ear and reminded him softly.

"Don't worry, coach, I won't let Anjie pass the test easily." Cousins ​​stepped onto the field with a confident smile.

※※※

I don't know if it was stimulated by the championship ring, but the Kings played very well in this game. But Cousins, who had been bouncing around before the game,

But it is not the focus of this game.

At this time, Cousins ​​was wrestling with Anjie near the basket. This grumpy "big boy" did make An Jie feel some different resistance.

Cousins' position is very solid, and Anjie can't push this guy out effectively at all. After getting the position, Cousins ​​​​began to raise his hand for the ball.

Rudy Gay, who was holding the ball outside the 45° three-point line on the left, was a little embarrassed seeing this situation. Gay's own state is very good today. Now that the game has reached the third quarter, he has scored 25 points, and his shooting percentage is super high.

But Cousins, this guy is definitely a time bomb for the Kings. If Cousins ​​doesn't catch the ball for a long time, he will definitely throw a tantrum. The consequence of this is that Cousins ​​​​will "retaliate" against his teammates on the defensive end, deliberately not trying to defend.

Under Anjie's defense, Cousins' offensive efficiency is extremely low today. But Gay obediently handed over the ball for the sake of the team.

"What a fucking ball bully!" An Jie did not shy away from talking trash in Cousins' ear, Cousins ​​ignored An Jie, but took the basketball and pushed back hard!

"Boom!" Catherine, who was sitting at home watching the live broadcast of the game, felt as if her heart had been hit violently by something. Every time An Jie was hurt on the basketball court, it would hurt Catherine's heart.

The two strong men collided violently, but to Cousins' surprise, he didn't advance a centimeter in his position!

Even when he was in the U.S. national team, no one could hold Cousins' back hit like this. But An Jie insisted on gritting his teeth and did it!

"Anjie won't give up an inch of ground! If DeMarcus wants to push into the penalty area, he must find another way!" Mike Brin reminded from the side, but it's a pity that Cousins ​​​​couldn't hear all this.

This single-minded guy refused to admit defeat, and made another violent attack in the same direction. Anjie is not stupid, he will not turn a basketball game into a free combat. An Jie did not withstand the impact of Cousins, but subtly stepped back.

Cousins ​​hit the air, and his center of gravity became messy because he didn't find a support point.

While Cousins ​​was in a hurry, An Jie suddenly started to do everything, watching the ball was cut off, and the Trail Blazers got a chance to counterattack!

An Jie picked up the basketball and flicked it vigorously. Lillard, who has been cooperating with An Jie for the third season, ran tacitly. Clasp your hands vigorously!

Immediately, the Moda Center was ignited again. Rudy Gay shook his head helplessly. He had a chance to score just now, but now, everything was messed up by Cousins.

After that, Rudy Gay's wonderful performance remained, and the Kings also relied on Gay's excellent performance to bite the score. But it was the Trail Blazers who led the way from beginning to end.

In the fourth quarter, Anjie stepped up his offense. During the offense, Anjie also continued to use small moves to stimulate the "time bomb" of the Kings. Cousins ​​endured it again and again. Although he did not foul, he could no longer play calmly.

The more he wanted to get his face back, the more Cousins ​​couldn't score. In An Jie's view, Cousins, who is now blinded by anger, is simply full of loopholes.

Until the last 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, when coach Mike Malone, who gave up the game, replaced Cousins, Cousins' shooting percentage had become 6 of 16, only 37.5%. Cousins ​​failed to hold An Jie, but was held back by An Jie instead.

"Although Rudy Gay, who is in excellent condition, scored the highest 40 points on this field today, but I'm sorry, the rest of the Kings need to do more polishing!" Seeing that the game is irreversible, Ken Ni. Smith did not shy away from evaluating the performance of the Kings. There is still a long way between them and the defending champions.

Once again, Angie let Cousins ​​down. Cousins ​​really worked hard this summer, but he didn't know that this yellow-skinned guy was more demanding than himself!

94 to 103, the second fight in the regular season of the new season, Anjie and his teammates celebrated the moment when they won the championship ring with a victory.

Two consecutive victories, the whole Portland is cheering. This team, which has dominated the league for two years, still seems invincible.

After winning the game, An Jie took a marker and drew a heart on the camera lens.

"For my wife and children." After painting, An Jie said with a smile, then left the court and walked towards the player tunnel.

On TV, Catherine and An Xiang saw An Jiehua's love, not to mention how happy they were. Sure enough, once this person has a child, he will really become different.

The championship ring and the victory have already been obtained, and Anjie has made a good start for the team. During the offseason, the Trail Blazers, who seemed to have disappeared without any news, once again announced to the entire league: We are the strongest team right now!

Those teams that made a lot of noise during the offseason can only be our foils!

※※※

In this way, the new nba season is in full swing under the unstoppable momentum of the Trail Blazers.

Angie, as in previous years, always makes his teammates more aggressive. Even the old Miller said in an interview: "I played with Ann, at least five years younger!"

Although Miller is an exaggerated statement, this sentence also highlights Anjie's excellent ability in leading the team. A guy who can take a young brand-new Chinese team to the quarter-finals of the World Cup will surely take his teammates at the nba level even better.

The Trail Blazers are killing the Quartet in the United States. Unknowingly, the new season has been played for a month, and the Trail Blazers have a record of 15 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league. Ranked second in the league is the Golden State Warriors that Anjie once predicted at the dinner table. Their 13 wins and 2 losses are second only to the Blazers. And among the Warriors' 13 victories, one was won at the Moda Center. That's right, the only battle the Trail Blazers lost was against the Warriors!

In contrast to the Cleveland Cavaliers, James doesn't seem to be doing very well after returning home. So far, the Cavaliers' record of 7 wins and 7 losses can't even rank among the top three in the Eastern Conference, let alone compare with the Trail Blazers and Warriors.

The chemistry of the Cavaliers seems to be very problematic, and like the Heat, the Cavaliers' bench lineup is indeed not enough.

James has played very anxiously in the past month, and he is also very distressed in the face of doubts about him from the outside world.

This guy desperately needs an important big win to prove himself now. Looking at the schedule, James couldn't help but clenched his fists. The opportunity you want is here!

The rough-eyed man picked up a marker and drew a red circle on the schedule. After that, he picked up the basketball and threw himself into training.

The red circle was drawn on December 1st. On the calendar of that day, there was a team logo of the Trail Blazers.

That's right, a few days later, on December 1, James will bring his brand-new army to the City of Roses to challenge the Portland Trail Blazers who defeated him last year in an away game!

An opportunity to prove himself has been placed in front of James. In order to seize this opportunity, James will definitely make a fuss!

The regular season has been going on for a month without any surprises, and now, the battle that everyone has been looking forward to is finally about to start.

James is training crazily in the training ground. This time, he doesn't want to stumble in the Moda Center again!
