The way of the center

Chapter 338 Three seconds zone?restricted area!

In the jump ball stage, Heat center Joe Anthony experienced what is called an overwhelming advantage.

Bounce, height, wingspan, take-off timing, every part of Anjie is better than Joe Anthony.And the basketball that was thrown into the air by the referee naturally became the possession of the Trail Blazers.

"Rhythm! Don't be fast!" Ricard yelled from the sidelines as soon as Raymond Felton received the ball.To beat the Heat, they must be cautious from the first second.

The Heat defending Felton is none other than Anjie's old friend and rival, Mario Chalmers.Like Anjie, Chalmers, who was selected in 08, has already gained a firm foothold in the NBA.Although Chalmers' status is not higher than that of Anjie, for the Heat, he is also an indispensable member now.

Although Chalmers' ability is mediocre, his attitude is very likable.No matter what game, no matter what moment, Chalmers will always go all out.Even if he meets a fan on the street who wants to go head-to-head with him, Chalmers will treat him like a professional player.

On the defensive end, another weapon of Chalmers is the quick and frequent use of his hands.Felton had to be extra careful to avoid mistakes.

While Felton was still entangled with Chalmers, An Jie had resisted Joe Anthony's push and pushed and held his position firmly.

Although Joe Anthony's offense is extremely bad, his defense has always been good, and he does all the dirty work.Don't look at this guy's lack of height, but his mobility is very gratifying.It is not without reason why Pat Riley has kept Joe Anthony, whose statistics are appalling, until now.

An Jie was very surprised by Joe Anthony's conscientious attitude. Even though he knew that he was not strong enough, he never backed down.From the bottom of his heart, An Jie admired people like Joe Anthony, but as an opponent, An Jie would not respect anyone!

Felton finally squeezed out a gap with his stronger body. Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Felton passed the ball with both hands, and gave the ball to Anjie before Chalmers made a steal.

When Anjie took the ball, not to mention Joe Anthony behind him, even LeBron James glanced at it, and took a step towards the basket.

After Anjie received the ball, the Trail Blazers did not fall into a situation where one person played four people.Others were still active, especially Aldridge, who pulled Chris Bosh behind the free throw line to ensure that Anjie would not be interfered by a second inside player.

Seeing that the space was opened up by his teammates, An Jie began to dribble in.In an instant, the entire Rose Garden fans stood up.Seeing the situation, James smiled and shook his head. Unexpectedly, Anjie has only had such influence in Portland for half a season.For a moment, James thought he was in Staples, and the opposite was No. 24 controlling the basketball.

But the actual situation now is that the No. 00 hero of the Rose Garden is preparing to wreak havoc on the inside of the Heat.In order not to lose points, James must do something.

Seeing Joe Anthony back again and again, James unknowingly rushed towards An Jie.At this moment, An Jie had already made the hook, James soared into the air, and everyone present gasped from the height of the jump.

"Snapped!"

"What!" An Jie looked at the basketball in disbelief. This time, he was actually blocked!
In the Rose Garden, Anjie was always a nightmare for his opponents.With the inside line guarded by him, most people only have to try the hot pot when they break in.But today, neither Anjie nor the fans thought that he would be blocked by others on his own territory.

"LeBron James! It's amazing, it's amazing! I haven't seen Ann eating hot pot under the basket for a long, long time, but today, James quickly collapsed Anjie's low position!" As a national live broadcast, T.NT TV sent Barkley, O'Neill and Kenny Smith to the game site to explain the game.When James finished blocking, Kenny Smith grabbed the microphone and yelled frantically.His move naturally caused dissatisfaction among many Trail Blazers fans around him.

Fortunately, the players of the Trail Blazers returned to the defense very quickly, otherwise, they might be called a fast break by the Heat.

When Chalmers stabilized the rhythm, the two sides had to use positional warfare to start the competition again.

Dwyane Wade came out from outside the three-point line through Bosh's pick-and-roll.It is also a tacit understanding, Wade is not in place, Chalmers's pass has been dropped.Chalmers' pass leaves just in time for Wade to get into position.Wade's simple possession of the ball after he got rid of it scared the Blazers to rush out

Wade jumped with both feet, leaping high.As for the basketball, it flew straight and fast towards James!All the cooperation between Wade and Chalmers just now was a feint. The real lethal weapon is LeBron James who has "sneaked" into the mid-range position!
James didn't stop after getting the ball, and directly carried Gerald Wallace on his shoulders and rushed in.I saw this strong No. 6 player raised his arms and jumped up with one foot, looking unstoppable!

"Ah!" James growled, and smashed the basketball in his hand to the basket.

"Frame!" Sure enough, the basket howled in pain, and the already strong basketball hoop in the NBA was also "creaked" by the shock.

What about basketball?Instead of following James' palm through the net, the basketball flew high toward the other half of the court until it went out of bounds.

The Rose Garden was silent for a second, and then, the deafening cheers made Ricard feel as if the floor was shaking.

The big screen and TV at the scene immediately replayed the moment just now. It turned out that when James broke into the inside and took off for a dunk, An Jie also got rid of Joe Anthony and quickly made up for the three-second zone.When James took off, An Jie also arrived in time.He used his palm to forcibly resist James' heavy dunk, and the basketball was squeezed by two huge forces. In the end, it was An Jie who was even better and slapped James away before scoring the goal. .

"The dunk was blocked, and it was LeBron James who blocked it! After only one round, Anjie saved face on the defensive end!" Kenny Smith was still applauding James' block just now, unexpectedly, Anjie immediately used A more brilliant response was given.

"Don't be so anxious, shoot from the outside first." An Jie waved at James, signaling him to leave the three-second zone.He used his actions to tell James a message: No matter you are the proud of the sky or the No. 1 in the damn league, but the three-second zone is my territory, and I have the final say!

James can be friendly with Anjie in private, but facing Anjie's provocation in the game, James' face is not very good.

Although he did not respond to An Jie's words in a very general manner, anyone with a discerning eye could see that James' expression was just pretending to be calm.

Although the ball was blocked by An Jie, it was still out of bounds.Therefore, the Heat have a chance to attack again.

This time, the man with the ball turned into Dwyane Wade.He passed Wesley Matthews with ease, and then released it with a very quick floater.An Jie still tried his best to take off and straightened his long arms, but there was nothing he could do. Wade's throwing arc was too high, even An Jie couldn't reach it.

Blocking James is not the end, you must know the Heat, but there are three superstars present at the same time!Wade and Bosh are also very dangerous.

In the next second attack of the game, the Trail Blazers finally seized the opportunity and broke the scoring shortage.

Wesley Matthews relied on his height advantage to avoid Wade's block, and after several back runs and off-ball pick-and-rolls, he caught the ball and hit him.Although the configuration of the Trail Blazers is not as dazzling as the Heat, everyone sent by Ricard is useful, and everyone can assist Anjie.

Wesley Matthews' three-pointer was formulated by Ricard by taking advantage of the Heat's mentality that they would definitely guard Anjie strictly and ignore other teams.Facts have proved that this trick is very effective.At the beginning of the game, Spoelstra's defensive strategy must be aimed at Anjie.There, Calder will play against you, let the others attack first, and let Anjie play the role of containment first.

When the threat of others is enough to make Spoelstra change his tactics, it's time for Anjie!

Therefore, after the first quarter, Anjie rarely took shots.His dazzling performance on the court all came from the defensive end.

In addition to the dunk that blocked James, Anjie was still taking Bosh across Aldridge.You know, all of this only happened in one game.The rest of the Trail Blazers also completed the tasks assigned to them by Ricard very well on the offensive end.

Especially Aldridge, facing Bosh's increasingly weak defense, Aldridge made consecutive shots and became the core of the Trail Blazers' offense in the first quarter, fulfilling the duty of a team's second leader.

Spoelstra, the Filipino boy, has a serious expression. Although his opponent is just a rookie coach, it seems that the guy is not in vain.In terms of team tactics, he is really good at it.So that he can still make the team equal to the Heat without using Anjie to attack.

The Filipino looked at the game time, and there were more than three minutes left in the first quarter, so he didn't plan to make any changes.Because according to Ricard's habit, he will definitely replace An Jie later, and changing his tactics according to An Jie at this time is just doing useless work.

However, in the second quarter, Spoelstra decided to temporarily relax his marking on Anjie, so that the Heat's defense could be more scruples.Instead of letting Anjie play in the paint, he can't let the entire Blazers team start up.

Just as Spoelstra was thinking, he heard another exclamation from the stands behind him.He hurriedly looked towards the court, but it seemed that someone else was blocked on the Heat's side.

"The seasoned Udonis Haslem couldn't escape Ann's claws. He quickly blocked Haslem's layup and slapped Haslem out of the baseline. Oh my God, the game is only in one quarter, Ann He sent out three blocks. Although he only scored two points in this quarter, his performance on the defensive end is also invaluable."

After the ball went out of bounds, Ricard finally replaced An Jie.And when Anjie was off, the Rose Garden fans were paying tribute to their hero.

Afterwards, Anjie and the Big Three were absent on the field at the same time, and the fierce competition finally became calmer.Players and fans also got a respite.

"Ann." An Jie had just sat on the bench when he heard Ricard calling himself.

"Command, boss!"

"In the second quarter, attack me!" Ricard clenched his fist with one hand and opened the other, and then his two hands touched together forcefully.He believes that Spoelstra will definitely adjust in the second quarter.As long as he adjusts, Anjie will penetrate the Heat's inside line!
"Hmph." An Jie's expression was very excited, the muscles on his arms were tense, and it seemed that he could see the blood vessels clearly.

Just defending makes you miserable. Next, it's time for you to experience the real nightmare.

So what about the Heat's fantasy Big Three, Anjie just wants to wrestle with you!
