The way of the center

Chapter 346 The Dominance of the Center Forward
The scariest thing is not being defeated, but that you have tried your best and performed well, only to find that you are still doomed to fail.

Now Adelman and Love have this feeling. In the first half of the game, Adelman's tactics were subtle enough, and Love's performance was outstanding enough.But in the end, they were still 12 points behind.

The 12-point gap does not mean that it is impossible to catch up. There is still a whole half of the game, and the Timberwolves have plenty of time.But it is precisely because they have tried their best that they can only do so much, so the morale of the Timberwolves is very low now.

Ricky Rubio, the golden boy of Spain, lacked a little confidence. Today, facing the rough and tough defense of the Trail Blazers, he dared not make any moves.Throughout the first half, Rubio only scored 3 points with free throws. This data obviously does not match his original positioning.

"This young Spanish defender really plays like an old Kidd." This sentence has become the joke most often used to ridicule Rubio.No range, or even scoring ability.Although passing the ball is indeed very good, but it is not enough for him to share too much pressure for Love.

As for the Timberwolves' inside offensive player Nikola Pekovic, under Anjie's defense, Pekovic only scored 4 points in the entire first half.In other words, apart from Love, the Timberwolves don't have a guy who can stand up and score.

The more this happened, the more tired Love was playing.He has worked very, very hard and kept scoring goals.The difference can be divided, but it can't be narrowed.

Before the start of the second half, Love let out a sigh of relief in the locker room.He was about to play again, but he was very conflicted in his heart.After all, who likes to fail?After a very hard and fruitless half, Love's enthusiasm has been exhausted.

Not all players can live forever like Anjie. Under the blow of great frustration, Kevin Love missed his first three-pointer in the second half.

In addition to actions, the psychological factors of the players are the key points that affect the shooting percentage.But now Kevin Love is surrounded by loss and frustration.It has been difficult for him to play as wonderfully as before.

Adelman saw Love's concerns off the court, and the child's expression was not as determined as it was at the beginning.An Jie's torture made Le Fu feel very annoyed, but there was no way, no matter how bad the situation was, Le Fu had to bear the heaviest burden.This is the responsibility that the head star of a team must bear.In college, Love had a Westbrook by his side.But now, the Timberwolves only have Love against the Blazers.

Before Love could adjust his emotions, Anjie once again dealt a huge blow to the generals of the Timberwolves.

In this attack, Anjie originally planned to do a pick-and-roll at the beginning, but unexpectedly the Timberwolves' defense was very good. It was difficult for others, including Aldridge, to find a gap.

So An Jie suddenly started to rush towards the basket. At the same time, Felton hit the ground and made a pass, allowing the advancing An Jie to catch the basketball.

Michael Beasley returned to the three-second zone before Anjie rushed in. This guy rarely defended so aggressively, but facing Anjie today, he just wanted to do something to prove himself.

Although Michael Beasley is a small forward, his height and wingspan still create his huge defensive area.Seeing that Anjie was getting closer and closer to him, Michael Beasley steadied his feet and stood by, ready to cut the ball or block the shot at any time.

An Jie naturally saw Michael Beasley's supplementary defense, but he showed no sign of slowing down.An Jie, this guy is ready to continue attacking the frame against the defense!

"Want to come!?" Michael Beasley opened his eyes wide. Before, he didn't think An Jie was so brave.He was also afraid that An Jie would use a soft throw to solve the problem, but he didn't expect that An Jie would directly attack him.

Indeed, Anjie is not Griffin, he is not the kind of player who wins by athletic ability and brute force.But this level of the game, coupled with the aggrieved energy of losing to the Heat in the last game, made An Jie red-eyed!
Right now, he only wants to win the game quickly, to end the team's two-game losing streak, and to tear apart all opponents who dare to stand in front of him!
So, he leaped vigorously against Michael Beasley and stretched out his body completely.And what about Beasley?Although his jumping height was stronger than that of An Jie, under such a powerful impact from An Jie, Beasley was completely covered by An Jie in the air.The bodies of the two collided fiercely in the air, but Michael Beasley was obviously the one who suffered the greater impact.

Michael Beasley did not give up, his left hand was still raised high, hoping to take away the basketball from An Jie's hand.But An Jie put him under too much pressure. You must know that An Jie's current physical strength is several times better than before!
The moment Anjie dunked, Michael Beasley also completely lost his focus.He fell to the ground in embarrassment, and above his head was An Jie who spread his legs and roared after dunking!
"What a beautiful dunk! An abruptly knocked Michael Beasley to the ground!"

If it is said that most people's buckle is the exaggeration of the take-off height, then Anjie's buckle is completely won by the huge strength!He didn't jump high, but when Beasley tried to interfere, Anjie was able to forcefully knock his opponent away in the air.This scene doesn't look as exciting as Griffin's dunk, but it has a unique beauty of power!

Beasley was the most expensive high school student in the United States, and he was the hottest talent.But now, the unrestrained him was knocked to the ground by a once unknown Chinese.

After landing on the ground, An Jie jumped up excitedly and waved his fist, chanting some broken words non-stop.The rose garden was boiling, which is rare in Portland.Aldridge has an elegant style of play, and although An Jie frequently staged dunks, he mostly uses technology to solve problems.Gerald Wallace's athletic ability is not bad, but after suffering a serious injury, he can no longer fly to the height he used to fly.

But today, the fans of the Trail Blazers also rarely witnessed the dunks at home.Winning or losing is no longer within the scope of discussion for this group of fans. What exciting scenes will appear in the game is the focus of this group of guys.

Anjie's dunk caused the already low morale of the Timberwolves to fall to the bottom.The leading star of the Trail Blazers has gone crazy, completely crazy!If this kind of person goes crazy, maybe the only way to fight him is to ask Yao Ming and O'Neill to come out again!

Why is the center terrible? When a center shows his unstoppable dominance, the entire game will be under his dominance.And now, the Timberwolves are completely shrouded in Anjie's rule.

Anjie's dunk not only ignited the fans, but also ignited himself.In the ensuing game, Anjie became extremely brutal.As a result, Love's excellent performance was completely buried by An Jie.

"Use your body to forcefully squeeze Pekovic away for a dunk! This dunk was a little bit reluctant and failed to be dunked, but it still caused a foul by Pekovic!"

"Big hat! Poor Ricky Rubio, this goal must impress the Spaniards!"

"Gerald Wallace misses the [-]-pointer again, oops, this is the fourth time Wallace has missed a [-]-pointer in the game. Wait, it's Ann! He finally got stuck , made a tip-up!"

Love, as always, has been scoring, scoring, scoring.But no matter how he advances, the point difference does not change.

The third quarter ended with Anjie's crazy performance. If Rickard hadn't replaced Anjie in the last 4 minutes, Pekovic might have been beaten to think about life.

At this time, the point difference has become 15 points.Kevin Love and Rick Adelman, the backbone of the two Timberwolves, both looked pale and ashen.Ricard knew that the Timberwolves had collapsed!
"So far we have done a very good job, we have completely dominated the game. Now, I want you to continue to maintain it, and take away the victory to end this damn losing streak!" Seeing that the opponent was beaten to nowhere, Ricard instead It's more exciting than when it first started.

An Jie's state made him happy, the team's victory made him happy, and the opponent's fearful eyes made Ricard even more happy!

Sure enough, the Timberwolves players in the fourth quarter were like walking dead, just trying to finish the game mechanically.

They have no effort, no confidence, and no strength.Love is the only guy still scoring, but the big white man has to accept that he's lost to Angie once again.

What about Anjie?He continued to wreak havoc on the Timberwolves' interior.Small hook, big hook, turnaround jumper, step back jumper.Breakthrough dunk with the ball, jump dunk in place, dream dance.
The fourth quarter of the game completely turned into Anjie's personal performance show, and he showed all the skills he is good at.And Pekovic and Love have become the background to set off all these pictures.

Less than 5 minutes into the fourth quarter, Adelman took down all his key players.This experienced old coach rarely has fantasies in his mind. It is enough to experience 35 seconds and 13 minutes in this life.Now, he sees reality better than anyone else.

Therefore, the gray-haired coach knew that it would be a waste of effort for the Timberwolves to continue to resist.Adelman looked at his watch and conceded in advance.

Angie's performance continued, until Marcus Camby yelled his name, and Angie came back to his senses.

It turned out that he had been replaced by Ricard.And the game has already entered garbage time.

Today, Le Fu did not have a decisive battle with An Jie as he wished.Because of this game, the Trail Blazers won very easily, and there was no need to go to the decisive battle.

Reporters are already sprinting on the sidelines, and as soon as the referee blows the whistle, they will start sprinting like track and field athletes.

The target of all reporters is only one person, and that is An Jie who scored 45 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in this game!

An Jie doesn't know that he has scored so many points, but Ricard, if the game is not over, he might have been laughing from ear to ear.
The massacre was over, and the butcher finally sheathed his sword.Wherever he went, there were ruins and corpses everywhere.

Now everyone thinks back to the past and how terrible it was to have a dominant center.

"Navy Captain" David Robinson, the destructive Shaquille O'Neal, "Big Dream" Olajuwon, and Ewing, the representative of power.

This group of people frightened the entire league back then, and made everyone stay away.

Now, all the centers in the league are lonely, and there is not even a place for the center in the All-Star Game.

But fortunately, there is still a Chinese in this league who is still waiting for the final honor of this ancient position.

An Jie has undoubtedly become synonymous with modern traditional centers!
