The Way of the Center

When the game reached the fourth quarter, less than half of the fans in the Staples Center were still watching the game. Instead of sitting here watching the bloody massacre of the Lakers, it is better to go home now before the traffic jam.

Anjie had already sat leisurely on the bench, and he and Iguodala were having a heated discussion about where to take the whole team for dinner during the All-Star Game. Ricard also crossed his legs and talked and laughed with Divac, but from time to time he cast his eyes on the court.

On the basketball court, the Lakers still use their shabby starting lineup to make useless resistance. Now even Meyers Leonard can penetrate the entire interior of the Lakers.

Bryant did not leave, he has been sitting on the Lakers bench, motionless. Under the dark sunglasses, it is hard to imagine what Kobe looks like now.

"We all know that Ann will definitely score a double-double in this game, but we didn't expect Ann to do it in only half a game. I don't know how those hard-talking Los Angeles media will end later, this group The proud guy should recognize the fact that the Lakers are no longer the dominant team in the league, now is the era of the Trail Blazers!" Reggie Miller was also a little embarrassed at the moment, because there was nothing worth talking about in this game itself that's it.

He could only keep talking about Anjie and the Los Angeles media. In fact, the moment Ricard replaced Anjie, the only highlight of the game was gone. Fortunately, there are only a few minutes before the end of the game, otherwise, Reggie Miller is really worried that he will fall asleep on the commentary stand.

After suffering for nearly 48 minutes, the buzzer that represented the end of the game finally rang in the ears of the Lakers players.

Jordan Clarkson relaxed instantly as if released.

The young second-round pick looked at the live big screen, 86 to 102, and as expected, the Lakers lost badly. He shook his head helplessly. Such a night has become the main theme of the Staples Center this season.

Los Angeles fans showed their displeasure with the team by booing loudly. They really couldn't bear it. The Zijin Legion, which once ruled the league, is now reduced to a team that has always been underwhelming.

Anjie stood up from the bench and walked towards the Lakers bench on the other side of the field. There is no doubt that his goal is Kobe who is also looking at himself.

"I really don't know if I should congratulate you." Seeing An Jie walking towards him, Kobe smiled and hugged An Jie.

"Fortunately without you, otherwise we might be the losers today." An Jie patted Kobe on the shoulder, jokingly relieved a little embarrassment.

"Okay Ann,

I can't necessarily play a guy who can get a double-double in 53 straight games. You should have come to Los Angeles in the first place, so we can definitely create another legend. "

"I'd better stay in Portland. If the two of us are too successful, the guy on the stage may not be very happy." An Jie pointed to the commentary booth at the Staples Center, where the huge O'Neal was Organize files.

"Hey." Kobe couldn't help sighing, yes, his former partner has become an experienced commentator. How much time do you have left for yourself?

"Okay Bryant, I have to go back to the locker room. At the All-Star Game, let's have a good chat. Hey, everything will pass, your body will recover, and your lad has potential. The next game is in Sri Lanka Tapes, don't let me win so easily again." An Jie blinked at Kobe, then turned and left.

Kobe looked at Anjie's receding figure, with many thoughts in his heart.

You are still climbing, and it is impossible for you to go back to the past......

※※※

The day before the start of the All-Star Weekend, the news that An Jie successfully tied the double-double record of 53 consecutive games became the hottest topic of the day.

The new president of nba, Adam Silver, might never have imagined that An Jie alone could overshadow the entire All-Star Game. It seems that the commercial value of this Chinese person still needs to be squeezed out...

After playing the Lakers, the nervous Trail Blazers finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. It is not so easy to be the leader of the alliance.

Everyone is staring at themselves, everyone is waiting to make mistakes. As long as there is a slight fluctuation in the team's performance, the players of the Trail Blazers will be overwhelmed by the saliva from the outside world.

But fortunately, now that the season is halfway through, they finally got a chance to rest.

This year's All-Star weekend will be held in New York, when the "Big Apple" city will be very lively.

Anjie once again became the top voter of this All-Star Weekend, but this year, the second place is not LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, but Stephen Curry, the core point guard of the Warriors!

Although the ranking of an all-star vote is not painful at all, but this time, An Jie is very concerned about the result.

As early as last summer, Angie said that the Golden State Warriors are the team most likely to suddenly rise and cause trouble for the Trail Blazers in the West. So far this season, Anjie's prediction can be said to be fully fulfilled.

The momentum of the Warriors is very fierce, almost the same as the Trail Blazers who won the championship for the first time two years ago!

A group of guys who were capable last year but didn't have the qualifications to win the championship have jumped into favorable contenders for the championship this year. What the Warriors are walking is simply the road that the Trail Blazers walked back then.

Getting in touch with the Warriors at the All-Star Game is also something Anjie is looking forward to very much. He really wanted to see how terrifying his biggest opponent this year was.

The second reason why Anjie pays special attention to the results of the All-Star voting is Lillard's loss.

Lillard's performance this season can be described as very good. He averaged 21 points, 6.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game. If anyone says that Lillard's data is not up to the standard for being selected as an All-Star, Angie will definitely be the first to disagree.

However, Lillard, who performed well, regretted losing the election. Lillard himself is also very disappointed by this. In the past few years, he participated in various individual competitions crazily in order to please the fans and let more people know him. But in the end, it was still nothing to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

Lillard was also quite dissatisfied with this, so he also rejected the league's invitation and did not participate in any All-Star events.

"It's okay, I still want to have a good rest in Portland these few days. The second half of the season is very hard. It doesn't matter if you don't go to the All-Star Weekend." Anjie and Aldridge are still worried that Lillard will Therefore, the mood is low, but it seems that this has aroused Lillard's fighting spirit.

There is no way, Anjie and Aldridge had to go to New York hand in hand to offer a basketball feast for the fans.

This year's All-Star Game is different from previous years. The slam dunk contest, which has been "dead" for many years, was completely activated by Timberwolves' rookie guard Zach LaVine.

Even Anjie himself danced and screamed with the fans at the scene. There's nothing fancy about Zach LaVine's dunk, it's pure dunk performance!

In the three-point contest, Steve Curry's abnormal three-point shooting ability also surprised Anjie. In just one year, the seemingly thin and weak guard on the field has become so strong.

Although the All-Star Game is just entertainment, Anjie still saw Curry's strength through entertainment. This year the Trail Blazers want to rush out of the East, I am afraid it will be more difficult than the previous two years.

The next day, the eagerly awaited fans finally waited for Anjie's appearance. As the most popular star in the league right now, Anjie was introduced at the finale of the player introduction ceremony before the start of the game.

Countless Chinese and Trail Blazers fans contributed their own cheers in the stands. Anjie, the All-Star vote champion, really deserved his name.

In this game, the starting point guard who partnered with Anjie is exactly what he wants to focus on, Steve Curry.

Even Chris Paul, a top point guard in the league, can only serve as a substitute for Curry on the All-Star team. Thinking about it this way, Lillard's loss is not because of his own lack of strength, but because there are too many excellent guards in the West today.

"I've never worked with such a big center!" Before the game, Curry joked with Anjie friendly. As we all know, most of the Warriors' insiders are short. Except for Bogut, there are really few centers who are as tall as a center.

"Don't worry buddy, I'll show you the power of a big man!" An Jie stretched out his fist and touched Curry lightly.

Come on boy, let me see how you play on the basketball court!

This year, An Jie's acting skills don't seem to be very high. Because this guy has ulterior motives today, he always played very seriously in Curry's cooperation.

On several occasions, Anjie seriously played behind the inside, and after attracting double-teams, he deliberately passed the ball to Curry. This style of play is not uncommon in the Trail Blazers. But when the person who received the pass from Anjie became Curry, even Anjie was very surprised.

Curry's ability to catch and shoot from outside the three-point line, to be honest, is much better than Matthews and Lillard! Although it is the same tactic, the rewards obtained after cooperating with Curry are completely different.

In the next few rounds, Anjie also deliberately asked Curry for the ball when the opportunity was not too good. However, Curry also used a subtle pass to prove that he is not just a shooter.

Curry's passing can always go straight to the point like a scalpel, and Curry's sense of ball control also surprised Anjie.

He remembered that a few years ago, his impression of Curry was not like this. It turns out that in this alliance, there are guys who are progressing as fast as me!

Subsequently, Curry's several singles breakthroughs once again refreshed Anjie's view of the No. 30 guard.

The seemingly thin Curry is even more efficient in breaking through than Lillard.

Lillard is also slightly less confrontational, but he prefers to confront defenders head-on. Curry is different. This guy's layups are usually the kind of high-rebound shots that make it difficult for tall defenders to block. And Curry is very good at finding gaps, he can always complete layups without physical contact.

After several rounds, An Jie was surprised besides. Unexpectedly, in the smooth sailing of the regular season, a terrible opponent has been conceived!

In the second and third quarters, Steve Kerr, the coach of the Western Stars, saw that Anjie didn't seem to have any performance**, and the guy himself didn't like to use a center, so he let Anjie rest for two full quarters.

In the fourth quarter, if the fans hadn't collectively booed in protest, Cole probably wouldn't have let Anjie come back.

It's just that after An Jie came back, he still played quite well and didn't contribute too many performances. Because the mind of the No. 00 big man has been captured by the No. 30 guard.

"Why are you not in a good mood? Do you feel too tired?" After the game, Catherine, who came to the All-Star Weekend with An Jie, asked such a question when she saw An Jie's first words.

"No, I'm not tired at all. It's just... just, there is a sense of crisis." An Jie finished speaking and smiled silly at Catherine.

The All-Star Weekend has officially ended, and the "halftime" time of the 2014-15 season has all gone.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the battle between Anjie and them, has officially entered the countdown stage...
