The way of the center

Chapter 339
When the first quarter ended, the Trail Blazers fans were delighted to find that they were only two points behind!Facing the Heat's Big Three who have won eight consecutive victories and still performed well in this game, the Trail Blazers are only two points behind when Anjie only scored two points!
28 to 26, if Battier picked up an offensive rebound in the last attack of the first quarter, the score should be even.

Anjie's dominant defense in the penalty area helped the Blazers lay the foundation, while Aldridge's good touch led his teammates to attack violently.

jamal crawford, wesley Matthews and gerald wallace are all good at sharing the scoring pressure, except for filton and courtney lee who are not shooting well Surprisingly, everyone else's performance was much better than the previous game.

Back-to-back battles did not seem to cause too much trouble for the Trail Blazers, after all, they had already got a lot of rest time during the All-Star Game before this.And the bad state of the last loss to the Nuggets was not brought into this game.

If Anjie exerts strength on the offensive end in the future, what will the game be like?This matter has undoubtedly become the most concerned issue of the fans and commentators on the scene.

"Jamal Crawford, after playing in the second quarter, you gave me a desperate breakthrough. At that time, the Heat will definitely think that you will continue to perform singles! But the task I gave you is to find a way to send the ball to Ann. Let him get more chances, the better!" During the break, Ricard didn't even have time to lift the small bench, but directly knelt down on one knee and drew tactics for the players.It was the assistant coach who brought the small bench over, and Ricard just sat down.

"Haven't forgotten what I just told you, Ann, onslaught, I want you to launch an onslaught. Don't worry, as long as the Heat don't dare to double-team, no one in their formation can stop you from scoring!" The biggest weakness of the Heat is Inside, this is something that everyone in the league knows.But even so, many teams can't grasp this point to play.Because for others, their interior is also weak.

Now there are only a few teams with good inside players in the team. It is said that the Heat are weak inside, which is also relative to the Trail Blazers.

"Even if they double-team, I will continue to score goals." An Jie knew that now he had to take on the heavy responsibility.The second quarter and the subsequent offense will be the key to the outcome!It would be a serious dereliction of duty if a teammate created an opportunity for him and he couldn't score.

"Very good, as you have seen, the Heat are not that scary. As long as we can make persistent efforts in the next game, winning the game will not be a problem at all! Well, let's go to the field! This is our home field!" Calder roared loudly, and Anjie took the lead on the court.

In the first quarter, he frightened the Heat with three blocked shots.Next, he will use the same amazing attack to crush the Big Three!

Since it was Anjie who won the ball at the beginning, the first team in the second quarter became the Heat.

This time, even LeBron James swallowed before he was about to break through.There was no way, Anjie's defense in the first quarter was simply too terrifying, but James still bit the bullet and rushed in.

This time Anjie defended in place as usual, but James still miraculously scored the ball despite intense physical contact and all movements were deformed.

After the goal, James complained to the referee while returning to defense. He thought that Angie's ball was fouled just now.An Jie spread his hands disapprovingly, and he thought that the ball just now was pure luck for James.

When it was the Blazers' turn to attack, Jamal Crawford faithfully fulfilled Ricard's arrangement.Don't look at Crawford playing a bit independent, in fact he is not a thorn, and he is willing to obey the coach's arrangement.

However, in the eyes of the Heat, this is just a prelude to Crawford, who performed well in the first quarter, will play singles with the ball again.

If Crawford breaks through Wade one-on-one, it will be very difficult.But if An Jie's pick-and-roll is added to this, the difficulty will be halved immediately.

Wade's speed is far inferior to that of the past, but Crawford is at an age where he can increase his speed arbitrarily.Anjie's pick and roll allowed the experienced Wade to be solidly blocked. Crawford took this opportunity to go inside. Joe Anthony, who was supposed to guard Anjie, immediately blocked Crawford.

Crawford saw Joe Anthony coming to defend him, but he still had no intention of slowing down.He suddenly dribbled the ball behind the back with a large arc and followed by a jump step. This is Jamal Crawford's iconic layup!
Seeing Crawford's fancy move, Joe Anthony decided that the end point of the attack was Crawford.But when he turned his focus completely to Crawford, he realized that after the jump, Crawford did not make a layup as usual, but used another crotch pass to transfer the ball elsewhere.

"No!" Joe Anthony's heart tightened, and then he felt a gust of wind passing by his side.Wade saw Crawford's intentions. He originally wanted to reach out and knock down the pass. Unexpectedly, the pass was very tricky. It was not that simple for anyone other than Anjie to touch it.

In the next second, Wade and Joe Anthony heard the crisp metal sound of the basket.An Jie was hanging on the basket at the moment, baring his teeth and yelling at an unknown target.

"Jamal Crawford's pass and Anjie's timely follow-up are very harmonious. This ball cannot be improvised. It must be Ricard's specific attack below. In other words, Jamaal Mar Crawford was just a bait from the very beginning." Charles Barkley rarely commented seriously on an attack, because the excitement of this attack made Charles Barkley even interested.

Crawford plays the ball efficiently, entertainingly and practically.And An Jie's two-handed dunk with enough strength at the end undoubtedly put a perfect end to this attack.

Spoelstra touched his chin. Anjie, who only scored two points in the first quarter, was so strong in the second quarter, which he did not expect.He thought that in order to defend the Big Three, An Jie could no longer devote more energy on the offensive end.Now look, he was wrong!
After Anjie scored, James hit Gerald Wallace with a pull-up jumper.If James insists on resolving the battle in the middle distance, then there is really not much Anjie can do.

I hope this guy's shooting rate can be reduced, otherwise, it will be very difficult to win this game.

Now Anjie can't solve the defensive problem, but Anjie can respond immediately to the problem of chasing points.

After just succeeding, Jamal Crawford was about to repeat the same trick, but Wade guessed Crawford's intentions and rushed to the passing route ahead of time.

Seeing this situation, Crawford, who had already jumped into the air, had no choice but to make a fake show, changing from a fake cast to a real one.

This kind of shooting was not aimed at scoring goals from the beginning, so the sight is naturally not too accurate.The basketball went too far and hit the left side of the basket.

Just when James was about to run forward to launch an attack, he saw Anjie rise into the air again.Not only caught the offensive rebound, but also smashed the basketball directly into the frame.

"Easy dunks, Bosh is not good at grabbing basketballs, and Joe Anthony? He can't move by Anka, how can he grab rebounds?" O'Neal was not surprised at this ball, if Anka If Jie couldn't do it, he would be surprised instead.

Being successfully tipped by the opponent is very demoralizing, because the Heat have done a perfect job in front of the defense.However, at the last moment, An Jie still scored points in this unconventional way.All previous efforts were in vain.

"Let's serve!" Seeing that his teammates were a little depressed, James decided to bring the team's momentum back up by himself!He opened his big hand and rushed to Bosh for the baseline ball, and headed towards the heart of the Trail Blazers alone.

Anjie is in good shape today, and so is James.Except for the dunk blocked by Anjie at the beginning of the game, he made almost no mistakes.

Although the person in front of him was Joe Anthony, Anjie put all his attention on James who was dribbling outside.As long as you take your eyes off the guy for a second, he can find the gap and finish the final blow!
James gave the ball to Wade, and then he ran actively.Even if James is off the ball, Anjie is still studying James' running position.

"Here we come!" Seeing James running back and cutting in, An Jie hurriedly moved his footsteps.Sure enough, Wade threw the basketball high, and they planned to use a Janeway connection to end the offense!
"It's not that easy!" Anjie jumped up to interfere, hoping to intercept Wade's instant pass.

James was very surprised that Anjie was able to see through his and Wade's intentions so quickly, but no matter how surprised he was, James would not give up any chance.

The ball was originally a slam dunk, but under Anjie's interference, James could only shoot after catching the basketball in the air.

So this extremely difficult alley-oop short-range shot was formed in this way. Anjie didn't expect James to change his action. When he wanted to block, James had already shot.

"Hahaha, it's impossible." Numerous Trail Blazers fans believed that Anjie's defense had been flawless, and that it was impossible for James to score such a difficult alley-oop close-range shot.However, in the next second, I heard the tumbling sound of the net that should be very pleasant, but now it is not pleasant to hear.

James patted his chest hard, and then gave Wade a high five.The word domineering is simply perfect to describe the current James.

"Damn it, you can score!" James has scored several seemingly impossible goals today. Maybe when the No. 1 in the league is in a better state, it will be such a terrifying existence.

"It's okay, Ann, let's fight back!" Ricard made a forward gesture with his hand on the sidelines. Anjie's offensive tasks have been completed very well so far.It is not impossible for him to attack James.

Jamal Crawford organized the offense seriously. He kept his eyes on the road, afraid that he would miss any chance.

This time Aldridge's running was very active, and he was immersed in most of the quarter. He also hoped that he could continue his state.

Bosh has already suffered a lot from Aldridge in this game, so when Aldridge got the ball again, Bosh was very nervous.

With one hand behind him, he gestured to Joe Anthony.Double team!If Aldridge intends to break through, then double-team!

Aldridge knew that Bosh couldn't keep up with his footsteps at all, so he simply turned quickly after getting the ball, and it was easy to wipe past Bosh.

But when he passed Bosh, he found that Joe Anthony still blocked himself with his arms raised high.

Aldridge is not in a hurry, he knows that Anjie must be in an empty seat now.He passed the ball out of the encirclement circle with a hook gesture, and Anjie really got the ball there.

At this moment, An Jie felt his waist being supported by others.At this time, Joe Anthony and Bosh are on Aldridge's side. Who is going to defend him?

Turning around, James is defending himself in a low position!Anjie wanted to pass to Gerald Wallace immediately, but found that Joe Anthony still blocked the passing route.

What else can I do?Come on, one-on-one with James in the low post!

"James in the low post and Angie one-on-one, my God, this is really a dream matchup!"

"No, no, it's not fair to James. Low-post offense is our center's specialty." O'Neal is full of confidence in Anjie. Even James can't stop Anjie in the low post.

James had never played against An Jie before, so he had no idea what happened to An Jie.But when An Jie exerted his strength for the first time, he finally understood why this guy was so destructive inside.

"It's very difficult!" Although James is an outside player, Anjie can feel that James' pace is more solid than most centers, and his strength is not to mention after only one impact.

If this kind of person goes to play small forward, it will be strange if he fails.

But An Jie won't give up just yet, inside, that's the center's territory!
An Jie continued to push in hard, and James retreated again and again in a rare embarrassment.Seeing that An Jie was about to advance to the basket, James suddenly took a step forward, ready to hit the ball!

An Jie's sensitive back felt the change of James' center of gravity. The moment James took a step, An Jie turned and broke through.One facing outwards and the other facing inwards, James rushed to the air, but Anjie broke into the basket with ease.

After taking two steps, he jumped with both feet, tensed his arms, and smashed to the basket!Facing an empty basket, Anjie was not polite.He exhausted all his strength to complete the dunk!

"Bang!" The basketball hoop in the NBA may be the strongest hoop in the world, but under An Jie's strong pull, the basketball hoop still looks crumbling.

"An! An! An!." All the fans in the Rose Garden stood up and shouted An Jie's name.

"He did it! Ann beat James one-on-one!" Kenny Smith excitedly grabbed the microphone and shouted, while O'Neal just smiled proudly.The position of center forward can be regarded as a follow-up.
An Jie raised his right hand to retreat, and Rose's welcome shouts never stopped.

James put his waist down and looked at the basketball on the ground. There was no way, Anjie really couldn't defend.As a small forward's speed to steal, An Jie can sensitively feel and break through.Such a monster, the Heat's insiders can't defend against it!

Attack!James' eyes were full of fire.Since you can't defend yourself, let's have a hearty confrontation battle!
An Jie's eyes were equally fierce, come on, it doesn't matter if you are a little emperor or something.If you want to attack, just attack and try!

The two guys who are facing each other have already confronted each other.For the fans, this means that the subsequent games will only be better.

Big fight, let's go on.
