The way of the center

Chapter 112 Tian Ji's Horse Racing
Although O'Neal is 36 years old, his bullet speed still surprised Anjie.In the scrimmage, O'Neal, who was slightly shorter than Anjie, gave the Suns the opportunity to attack first.

O'Neill looked at An Jie proudly and shook his finger.The decline in data in the past few seasons has made many people regard O'Neal as an outdated old man, and everyone wants to do whatever they want on him.But O'Neal's performance this season is very strong, and he wants to tell others with his actions that he is still not so easy to mess with.This big shark will not give up so easily.

Due to the addition of O'Neal, the Suns' offensive rhythm has also slightly slowed down.But compared to other teams, this rhythm is still relatively fast.

Facing Nash again, Westbrook's defense has improved a lot.He will no longer simply rely on his physical advantage to complete the block, but rely more on reading the game to judge Nash's pass or breakthrough route.

Nash saw that Westbrook's position was very good, so he beckoned Stoudemire to come up and pick and roll for himself.

After discovering Westbrook's lack of pick-and-roll ability, Van Gundy specially asked the trainer to arrange for Westbrook to get rid of the pile, in order to exercise Westbrook's ability to get rid of the pick-and-roll.

Although it won't reach the sky in one step, Westbrook's pick-and-roll defense level has improved compared to before.

Nash, as always, drives through screens, ready to repeat a pick-and-roll and immediately shoot.But when he held the ball with both hands, Westbrook suddenly jumped out!
Westbrook directly used Stedmire as the axis, and quickly got rid of it and made it to the correct position with a turn!

"Oh, this guy can even play well in defense." Rickard admires Anjie's new teammate very much. Although his organizational skills do need to be improved, he is really no better than OJ Mayo and Beasley in other aspects. Difference.As for who is stronger, he or Derrick Rose, Ricard is really looking forward to the collision between the two.

Although Nash didn't get a chance to make his own shot, he didn't panic.Looking at Richardson standing outside the three-point line, Nash flicked his wrist, but the basketball flew into the penalty area.

After being attracted by Nash's wild pass, the penalty area was basically emptied, and only two giants were still near the three-second zone, that is Anjie and O'Neal!

The ball passed by Nash found O'Neal.In the last game against the Thunder and Suns, he suffered a lot from the Chinese, but today, with the brave O'Neal here, Nash doesn't believe that the Chinese can make any big waves.

After receiving the ball, O'Neill didn't test it, but directly sat down on An Jie, and then made an unreasonable and forced turn. An Jie couldn't resist O'Neill's sudden outburst, and was knocked away a step away.

"Enough!" O'Neill jumped up vigorously!Save enough energy to hang the frame vigorously!The basketball hoop in the Chesapeake Energy Arena kept shaking, no one had ever been able to destroy it like this!
"O'Neal's classic offensive style! Clean and neat! No nonsense with Ando at all!" Mike Breen's passionate commentary added a lot to this beautiful goal.

"Did you block me just now? I didn't feel it at all." O'Neill laughed. This Chinese is the hottest young center recently fired, so what?It's not the same as not being able to withstand his impact.

After Yao Ming can not lose the wind when confronting O'Neal, most people will think that O'Neal is nothing more than that.As everyone knows, Yao Ming's weight is actually only a little lighter than O'Neal's.It is normal for Yao Ming O'Neill to struggle a bit when facing the same large tonnage, but facing An Jie who weighs only 110 kilograms, O'Neill really bumped into him as he wanted.

An Jie gently rubbed his chest. This 36-year-old shark is still as powerful as before.When facing Yao Ming, An Jie was still able to prepare before accepting the impact, but facing O'Neal's sudden and rapid force, he really couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

"An Jie is still too thin." Ricard shook his head, this is indeed a dilemma.Whether you want to be a big-tonnage center like Yao Ming or a skilled center like Anjie now, no matter which one you want, the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious.

On the offensive end, Jeff Van Gundy wanted to use Anjie's high position organization to "fish" the big shark out of the three-second zone, but the Suns were not fooled at all. After Anjie mentioned the high position, the defenders became Stoudemire and O'Neal continued to guard the basket.

In this way, it will become quite difficult for the Thunder to score points in the penalty area.

Fortunately, facing Nash's weak defense, Westbrook played unexpectedly smoothly today.The first 6 points of the Thunder were all arranged by him. Westbrook didn't waste a single opportunity and made 3 of 3 shots. Nash was beaten by this kid with helplessness.

In the past, Westbrook would only be shocked, but now, his ability to read the game has also improved significantly.

The reason why some players have excellent statistics in college but are not ranked high is because their potential limits their development.Westbrook's quick learning ability is a manifestation of good potential.

"What? Do you want to rely on the little guy to help you solve your problems?" Seeing that Anjie never came to the penalty area to fight against him, O'Neill couldn't keep his mouth shut.

This is also the performance of O'Neal playing very relaxed. If he is facing very difficult characters, such as Duncan and Yao Ming, then O'Neal will become very serious and have no time to play tricks.

An Jie really has to thank Morris now. If Morris hadn't frequently spat trash talk in An Jie's ears in college, An Jie might really go crazy in the face of these provocations.But fortunately, I got used to it when I was in college, and Anjie naturally wouldn't be disturbed by provocations in the NBA.On the contrary, An Jie is still a master at provoking others.

No matter what O'Neal said, Anjie has been playing in strict accordance with Van Gundy's arrangement. He doesn't care about the gimmick of "An-Shark Showdown" or whether his statistics are gorgeous.The interests of the team are greater than personal interests, another idea that was implanted in the bottom of my heart when I was in college.

"Ah cut!" Ricard and Morris who were watching the game sneezed at the same time, who was thinking about them?
The game has been going on with Anjie's organization and Westbrook's offense. Until O'Neal went off the field, Anjie didn't get a one-on-one chance with him.The fans all pointed at the TV and yelled, Van Gundy and Anjie really didn't give face.One didn't arrange for An Jie to attack, but the other could really hold back from attacking.

With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, the sweaty O'Neal was finally replaced. Seven points in 7 minutes, O'Neal's scoring efficiency is very high, Anjie has not yet adapted to the oppression brought by this large volume and tonnage.

But when O'Neal went off the field, and the Thunder's Durant and Westbrook also went off, Angie continued the game with the Thunder's second team.

Tian Ji horse racing, although Van Gundy doesn't know this idiom, but he is very good at using the same trick.An Jie, who only played an organizational role on the offensive end, didn't expend too much energy at all. Now facing the backup center Louis Admondson who had just been traded to the Suns, An Jie finally waited for his own offensive time slot.

"Earl Watson controls the ball, the Thunder's tactics are obvious, and Anjie's position is very active! His task is no longer to organize, but to score!" Mike Breen's analysis is absolutely correct.

2 meters 06, 102 kg, Edmondson does not have an advantage in height or weight.An Jie obviously felt a lot more relaxed after receiving the ball. Compared with the oppressive feeling from the big shark, Admondson's top defense made An Jie feel less pressure.

Without any fuss, An Jie pushed in directly!Although An Jie looked thinner than Edmondson, Edmondson was completely unable to stop An Jie from advancing.

One foot stepped into the three-second zone, An Jie shook his shoulders left and right, Edmondson thought that An Jie was going to hook, but An Jie turned around and took a step back. Temperless.

"Who is more accurate, An's turnaround jumper or Dirk's golden rooster independent step back? These two guys are simply shooting machines!" Although the commentator said so, in fact, Anjie's shooting ability is far inferior to Lowitzki's , It can be seen from the shooting range alone.Anjie's mid-range shot can only be said to be particularly accurate when no one is defending, and it is only Anjie's short-range jumper that hit me.But Lowitzki, he can hit threes without completely getting rid of the defense.

Afterwards, this scene did not repeat itself again, not because An Jie's offense was misfired, but because An Jie's offensive methods were so rich that they were not heavy at all.Facing Edmondson, who can only pick and roll and grab rebounds, Anjie's offensive ability has been perfectly utilized.

Westbrook is hot, Shaquille O'Neal is unstoppable, and Angie leads the second team to overwhelm the Suns inside.Due to various reasons, the scores of the two sides in the first quarter of this game were very high.

It wasn't until there was only one and a half minutes left in the first quarter that Anjie was taken down by Jeff Van Gundy.The task has been completed, and Jeff doesn't want Anjie to do unnecessary consumption on the field.

"My God, can you believe this is the score scored by the Thunder? A team that is good at defense actually allowed the Suns to score 34 points in the first quarter! And they also scored 34 points themselves!" Mike . Breen couldn't believe his eyes, this is the offensive firepower of the Suns, but beyond everyone's expectations, the Thunder actually bit the score.

34 to 34, the audience enjoyed the first quarter, but the only fly in the ointment was that they hadn't seen the confrontation between Anjie and O'Neal.However, there are still three quarters left in the game. It is impossible for these two guys to stagger each other all the time.
As always, Jeff still uses the opponent's substitute insider to feed Anjie's offensive rhythm. Now that Anjie has opened up, can O'Neal interrupt Anjie's excellent performance?
