The way of the center

Chapter 344 old enemy

Just when everyone thought that An Jie, who scored 40 points in the last game, would increase his number of singles today, he used an almost alley-oop to send a beautiful assist to his teammates.

Indeed, Ricard told An Jie to try scoring another 40 points, but that doesn't mean that An Jie can do whatever he wants.Tactics still have to be played according to Ricard's arrangement, and Ricard's arrangement is all around the word team.

Because of this, it is very difficult for Anjie to score 40 points in a game.Look at the GDP of the Spurs. If Popovich sees Duncan or Parker scoring [-] or [-] points, he probably blames them for playing too independently.

But An Jie is not in a hurry, he knows that the team's victory comes first.Not to mention forty points, even if he only scored four points but could help the team win, An Jie was very willing.

Anjie scored a goal in such a wonderful way at the beginning of the game, Kevin Love was very unwilling.He hopes that he can respond immediately with his performance, and it is best to fight back this round!

Aldridge is ready to fight. As Nowitzki and Duncan continue to age, the debate about who is the league's number one power forward between Aldridge and Love is also being discussed very hotly by fans on the Internet.

Although Aldridge is introverted, that doesn't mean he's left behind.Being compared by people, he certainly doesn't want to become the weaker side.

Both are insiders who like to shoot more and play in the low post. Both are very hardworking and lovable players.Love's advantage lies in his greater range, while Aldridge's advantage lies in his better defense than Love.

At first, Love only hoped that he could avoid Anjie, but when he faced Aldridge, he realized that the second leader of the Trail Blazers was also difficult to deal with.

Love did not plan to sit inside at all in this attack, because the space inside was almost occupied by Pekovic and Anjie.But this is exactly what Le Fu wanted.This big white man born as a guard seems to have more feeling when playing outside.

Although Anjie has been fighting against Pekovic, his attention has already been scattered throughout the field.The reason why the Trail Blazers' defense can be ranked among the best in the league like the Thunder is because of Anjie's command behind them!
The three perimeter players of the Timberwolves are not strong in autonomous offensive ability, and their finishing ability at the basket is even below the league average.An Jie doesn't need to spend too much time on them. The only thing he worries about now is Kevin Love who keeps running outside the three-point line.

Although Ricky Rubio, the golden boy of Spain, claims that he will practice shooting hard every summer, his shooting percentage has not let people see that he has made the slightest improvement.

Maybe this young Spanish guy's lack of confidence is also one of the reasons why his offense is a mess.But simply as a No. [-] player who organizes offense, Rubio can definitely be regarded as a qualified starter.

His passing is elusive and superb.This is why even if this guy has almost no autonomous offensive ability, he can still stand in the NBA.

This time, Rubio had already caught a glimpse of Love's position from the corner of his eye.But he knows that in the face of Aldridge's strict defense, he can only send the ball to Love in some special ways.

Seeing that Rubio wanted to forcefully break through Felton, An Jie felt something was wrong.Even if Rubio can really successfully break through, he still won't get any chance to make a shot.He has only one purpose in doing this, to score the ball!

"Pay attention to his scoring!" Anjie reminded loudly, telling his teammates not to shrink because of Rubio's breakthrough.Rubio felt a chill in his heart, his intention was easily seen through by An Jie!

But for the next move, he thought An Jie would not be able to guess it!
I saw that Rubio, who had gained half of his body, suddenly jumped up, but he didn't want to shoot, but wanted to jump up and pass the ball!

He turned his head in the air to Wesley Johnson, who was running out of space. Johnson was ready to receive the ball, and Gerald Wallace tried to chase back, hoping to interfere with the pass.

Just when everyone was focusing on Wesley Johnson, Rubio flicked his wrist and passed the ball from behind his head.This is a complete, very exciting pass without looking behind the head!

"What!" An Jie admitted that this time, he was completely deceived by Rubio's nonsense.If even a defensive expert like An Jie is deceived, then others will not be able to react.

While Aldridge was still looking at Wesley Johnson, Kevin Love had already received Rubio's ball.

Aldridge's reaction was not slow either. He hurriedly took a big step forward, but seeing that Love had already taken off to shoot, he didn't dare to jump forward too much to avoid fouling.

So this time in defense, Aldridge did not interfere with Love's rhythm very well.

An Jie still worked hard to secure his position, even though the ball might hit hollow from the point of view of the shot and its trajectory.

"Swipe!" As expected, Love's three-pointer fell straight into the net. He did what he said, and saved his face with a score in one round after An Jie sent a wonderful pass!
"As a big man, Love is really accurate." Rickard propped his chin and complained to the coaching staff, should Anjie go?No, it's still too early.

"This guy is on the bar." Seeing Love complete the goal, instead of being annoyed, An Jie smiled excitedly.Love has made games very interesting since he was in college, but in the few matches after entering the NBA, Love was completely suppressed by An Jie.

Unexpectedly, after being injured for a year, Le Fu has completed the step of rebirth from Nirvana.An Jie decided that it was time to meet his "old friend" in the next round!

"Hey, LaMarcus, in the next round, help me drive the Montenegrin away." Anjie whispered in Aldridge's ear, and pointed to Pekovic quietly with his hand.

"No problem, teach Love that boy a lesson." After speaking, Aldridge ran forward, and An Jie served the baseline.

The task Pekovic got today was to stick to Anjie, but now Aldridge took the initiative to stick to him, looking like he wanted to play with his back, which made Pekovic completely unable to escape. body.

Love naturally saw Aldridge's actions. It stands to reason that if Aldridge really wanted to fight on his own, he would not have much advantage against Pekovic.There's only one reason why this guy would do it.
Before Le Fu finished thinking, he found a wide and solid back leaning against him strongly!Seeing this situation, Aldridge immediately ran outside the three-second zone and pulled Pekovic out.Now, the only two people left in the restricted area are Love and An Jie!
At the moment when this dislocation and singles opportunity formed, the experienced Felton made a quick pass, allowing Anjie to seize this offensive opportunity!
Timberwolves small forward Wesley. Johnson resolutely implemented Adelman's arrangement, double-teaming Anjie!
The reason why the Trail Blazers lost to the Heat in the last game was because Gerald Wallace knocked out of the basket at a critical moment.Elvis Presley's extremely unstable three-point shooting this season has made him a key research object for many teams.Today, Adelman decided to gamble on Gerald. Wallace that point.

Although Anjie had assisted Gerald Wallace to score a three-pointer before, Adelman didn't think he would suddenly regain his touch today.Would rather let go of Gerald. Wallace, Adelman also want to limit Anjie!
An Jie naturally saw Wesley Johnson who was double-teaming, but Gerald Wallace's running position was not good. He did run to the bottom corner, but at this time Aldridge and Perry Kovic is between Angie and Wallace.If Anjie passes the ball, it is very likely that a mistake will occur, and it will also waste an opportunity for the Trail Blazers.

So An Jie decided to take the risk, he wanted to defeat Love before Wesley Johnson's double-team was in place!
Love is confident that he can compete with Anjie on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he is indeed very self-aware.

Limited by the disadvantages of height and wingspan, Love's one-on-one defense is mainly based on top man.This kind of top defense may be effective when facing a slow heavy insider, but facing an all-around center like Anjie, Love's disadvantages will be revealed.

An Jie only pushed, and found the flaws in Love's defense.If you follow the normal defensive method, Love will not be able to hold An Jie.Only when he actively moves his center of gravity forward can he keep his opponent out of the three-second zone.

However, the defense of going forward or going forward to steal is precisely An Jie's favorite.In the last game, James tried to steal Anjie in the low post, but Anjie also passed him cleanly.It's rare that Kevin Love's footsteps can be faster than James?
Wesley Johnson was overjoyed when he saw that Anjie didn't make a push for the first time.In this way, he and Love will successfully complete another double-team.

But just when Johnson was about to double-team, An Jie suddenly turned around with the ball!
Love pushed forward with all his strength, so when An Jie turned around quickly, he not only failed to retreat, but staggered a step forward.

Love's instability made him almost collide with Wesley Johnson who came to double-team.

too fast!Love didn't expect that An Jie's step of turning around could be so fast!Many insiders have also chosen to turn and break through with Love's defensive style, but few of them can wipe Love with their footsteps.

Not only did An Jie do it, but he passed Le Fu completely in just one step!

Just as Le Fu turned around, he saw that An Jie had already soared into the air.He held the basketball tightly with both hands, exhausted his arms, and smashed the ball into the basket with all his strength.With this forceful dunk, when An Jie's whole body swung forward, the basket was pulled and creaked, all of which showed the beauty of strength.

Vigorous dunks, which Anjie has used frequently this season, have almost become his trademark.A center should have such destructive power on the offensive end!
"Hey, I won again, I'll change to you next." An Jie didn't forget to provoke Le Fu after landing. He knew that Le Fu just had a cold expression, but in fact his heart had already started to churn.

An Jie's guess is right, Le Fu can't overthrow the arrogant An Jie to the ground now.But fortunately, this guy's mind is very mature and low-key, he just wants to respond to An Jie's provocation with practical actions.

After a few minutes of play, Anjie was as unstoppable as Love.The touch of Love's outside shots today made Ricard clenched his fists nervously.

In the end, the two sides ended the first quarter with a score of 28.The Timberwolves resisted tenaciously, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were completely on the verge of teetering.

Love rested off the court for a long time, and it was a torture to fight against Anjie and Aldridge!
The worst part is that he has to fight those two guys for three more quarters.

Two pairs of machine and butcher, the two had a strong spark in the first quarter of the game!
