The way of the center

Chapter 331 An Unsolvable Opponent

"Why, still not enough?" Valentino's commercial shooting has ended, but An Jie and Catherine are still reluctant to leave.Although they were filming commercials, Anjie and Catherine had a fantastic time.

"Okay, let's not disturb others." Catherine's manager hurriedly pulled Moslav away from the scene. Let's leave this time to the young couple An Jie and Catherine.

"Ann, you just said." Catherine has not forgotten An Jie's sudden confession.

"Uh..." An Jie scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't know where the courage came from just now, so he suddenly asked that question.

The two have been together for some years, but they have hardly had any conflicts.These two guys who quarreled when they first met, unexpectedly got in sync with each other in life.

Catherine understands and supports An Jie's work, and An Jie also knows that besides basketball, there are two other women who need his special attention.One is his mother, and the other is Catherine.

It is precisely because the two can understand and consider each other that they seldom quarrel.Although An Jie and Catherine are still young, it is not a bad idea to ask for marriage.

"You're still hesitating, isn't that a bit too casual just now?" Catherine pinched An Jie, but An Jie's strong arm made Catherine very strenuous.

"Hey, what kind of marriage proposal do you want?"

"Ask me, what's the point of asking me? If you plan to propose to me next time, you'd better give me a surprise!" Catherine could have agreed to An Jie right away, but the little girl's maiden heart began to make trouble at this moment .

"Okay, I will give you an unforgettable marriage proposal!" An Jie put his arms around the girl beside him. Although the Trail Blazers will play against the Rockets at home tomorrow, at least during this afternoon and evening, Anjie is willing to give it to Catherine.
An ingenious proposal ceremony, An Jie took this matter to heart.But at the moment, he had to stop thinking about this question.

Although a professional player's work is also part of his life, Anjie always tries to separate his life from his work.If you spend too much time on other things while working, your state during the game will inevitably be affected.

Especially now, Anjie has become the most important piece that determines whether the Trail Blazers can win.So even an important matter like a marriage proposal had to be temporarily forgotten by An Jie before the competition.

"Houston Rockets! Don't think this team has no stars, but they are by no means idle. They can have no stars, or everyone can become a star! Kyle Lowry, Luis Scola, Chandler Once Parsons, Kevin Martin, and Goran Dragic break out, they will definitely be no worse than a star! You have no key players to mark today, I want you to do a good man-to-man defense, no one You can take it lightly! Everyone, we will kill everyone in the Rockets!" Ricard knew what kind of team the Rockets were, because Anjie's Cyclone team in that year was very similar to the Rockets today .

It seems that there are no stars in the team, but in fact, everyone in the team is strong!As long as there is a little relaxation, the Rockets may suddenly stand out as a leader.

Ricard made a very detailed arrangement, but when the game started, the situation changed immediately.

Someone from the Rockets did stand up, but it was not just Lowry who performed well today, but the entire Rockets team.

At the beginning of the game, Scola scored two goals under Aldridge's defense.These two goals, Scola completed the goal after shaking Aldridge through footsteps and feints.

Aldridge is indeed one of the best power forwards in the league on the offensive end, but at least for him now, his defense can only be regarded as average.

Seeing that Scola played like a fish in water in his own interior, Ricard immediately made a change and asked Anjie to fight against Scola.

After switching defenses, the effect is immediate.Under the fierce physical confrontation with Anjie, Scola couldn't make moves calmly, let alone score a goal.And the white center Joel Przybilla, who just transferred from the Trail Blazers to the Rockets, couldn't do much on the offensive end.

With a simple switch of defense, Rickard and Anjie completely curbed the Rockets' fierce inside offensive momentum!
Ricard originally thought that after Scola was restrained, the Blazers would sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.Little did they know that at this time, Kyle Lowry stood up again.

"The Rockets are such a team, everyone in their team can be used as a core ambassador!"

Lowry made sudden shots and beat Felton into a mess.Ricard had no choice but to make Anjie pay more attention to the defense against Lowry.The original plan was for Anjie to just focus on Scola, but now, he has to worry about two places and two players.

But even so, An Jie still completed his own work very well.Scola and Kyle Lowry both misfired, and Rickard thought that the Rockets' cards should have been played.

However, the Rockets' young small forward Chase Budinger's second consecutive three-point goal sounded the alarm for Ricard.

Sure enough, the athletic white small forward was completely unstoppable.Anjie blocked the inside line, Budinger could solve the problem with shooting, Gerald Wallace blocked the outside line, Budinger was able to avoid Anjie's block to complete the layup.

Judging from today's performance, Budinger is not like a second-round pick at all, but more like a real star.

After Budinger ignited the Rockets' offensive torch, the entire Rockets went crazy.Every one of them can score, every one of them can score.No matter how Ricard adjusts, there will always be the next person to stand up.

Anjie scored with a hook here, and Budinger completed an emergency stop jumper in the other half.Aldridge also made an emergency stop jumper, and Kyle Lowry would use a sudden breakthrough to score two points.

With the cheers of the fans and Catherine in the entire Rose Garden Stadium, the scores of the two sides have been very anxious.It's a pity that the Rockets played no matter what they did at the last moment, but the Trail Blazers lost their rhythm under the strengthened defense.

In the end, the civilian Rockets defeated the mighty Trail Blazers with a score of 103 to 96 in the Rose Garden.Everyone in the Rockets cheered as hard as they could, because the victory in this game was really hard to come by.I originally thought that the city of tearing was a place where there was no return, but I didn't expect this group of lucky people in Houston to escape from death.

Rickard shook his head helplessly. The Trail Blazers performed very well today, and there was nothing that made him dissatisfied.It's a pity that the Rockets are in a better state.

Anjie scored 28 points and 13 rebounds in the weak interior of the Rockets. Even his former teammates Przybilla and Luke Babbitt, who knew him better, couldn't do anything about Anjie.Aldridge was also in good shape, scoring 11 points on 8 of 20 shots.But the performance of the Rockets' six players scoring in double figures still allowed Anjie and Aldridge to score a good statistic.

An Jie did not attend the press conference after the game, not because he was dissatisfied with the game, but because he had to go to the airport to say goodbye to Catherine.

"Do you remember that?" Before boarding the plane, Catherine turned around and asked reluctantly.

"Don't worry, Catherine, I'll remember! If it's possible for the All-Star Game, come to Orlando to find me!" An Jie waved to Catherine, hoping that Catherine would spare time during the All-Star Game, so that they can Have a relatively relaxed time together.

"I'll try my best to arrange it and pay attention to your body. Your leg hasn't healed yet." After speaking, Catherine waved to An Jie and walked into the boarding gate.It's been a long time since I watched An Jie's game, but Catherine found that whenever An Jie held the ball, her heartbeat would still inexplicably speed up.

Today in the Rose Garden, when Anjie catches the ball, the Blazers fans around her will try their best to cheer and stand up.Only then did Catherine understand that everything was the same as in college, Anjie was still the soul of a team, and she was still the ordinary girl who only cared about Anjie!
"Anjie bless Iowa State!" This is the most common sentence said by fans and commentators in the NCAA that year.Because Anjie is always able to turn the tide again and again and lead the team to complete impossible tasks.But in Catherine's heart, she only hoped that An Jie would be the one who was blessed.

"Don't... Don't forget, Ann." Catherine closed her eyes when she saw the city of tears disappearing at the bottom of the clouds again.Now, I have to devote myself to the hard work.An Jie's proposal ceremony?Be patient!
