The way of the center

Chapter 348 Continue the winning streak
An Jie didn't know that the management of the Trail Blazers had planned to renew his contract. To be precise, An Jie had already thrown this matter out of the blue.

The excellent results this season have allowed Anjie to completely immerse himself in the competition and training. The fact that he will become a restricted free agent this summer has been completely forgotten by Anjie.

However, regarding the details of the contract, Orsi still has a lot to consider.Therefore, he would not go to Anjie and Moslav to discuss so quickly, but to renew the contract with Anjie in advance, which he rejected at the beginning, has now become a certain thing that will happen.

The reason why Orsi refused to renew his contract in advance was not because he had no confidence in Anjie's strength, but because he had no confidence in Anjie's health.But so far this season, Anjie hasn't even had a single sprain.This made Orsi completely trust An Jie.

He understood that the reason why the Trail Blazers were not successful in the past few years was because of injuries.Oden and Roy have very, very potential. If the two of them can keep healthy, coupled with the strong Aldridge, who can guarantee that the Trail Blazers will still be mediocre?But because of injuries, the city of tearing ended their dream ahead of schedule.

So this time, Orsi was extra cautious, he was afraid that Anjie would become the next Roy or Auden.But for now, Anjie's health is very gratifying.In order to prevent Anjie from being poached by other teams in the summer, Orsi must make a decision as soon as possible and then renew his contract in advance.Only in this way can the Trail Blazers have a relatively clear future.

While Olsi kept thinking about the contract, Anjie was still honing himself in the training ground.His diligence has infected many teammates, among which Aldridge is the most affected one.

"Come again, come again!" Aldridge wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and was ready to catch the ball again.

He and Anjie are the only two people who came to the training ground early in the morning for training. Now Aldridge is practicing mid-range shooting with Anjie. The two alternately pass the ball for each other. Stop running the moment you catch the ball, and shoot the ball immediately, practicing the ability to catch and shoot.

In official games, Anjie and Aldridge often have to play this kind of cooperation. As long as the two of them practice this seemingly ordinary style of play, the offensive efficiency of the Trail Blazers will be greatly improved.

This time, Aldridge scored four more goals than Anderi.An Jie felt that as a big man, his shooting was already very accurate.But ever since he became teammates with Aldridge, Anjie never had such thoughts.

Diligence will always bring rewards, it's just the difference between coming fast or slow coming.But in today's game, there is no doubt that the moment belonging to Aldridge has finally arrived!
Gustavo Ayon, the undrafted rookie signed by the Hornets this summer.The excellent height and wingspan of this Mexican player made the Hornets general manager have high hopes for him.But as it turns out, the guy might not be ready for the NBA.If it weren't for the Hornets full of wounded players, it wouldn't be Ayong's turn to start today, and it wouldn't be Ayong's turn to suffer.

Seeing Aldridge running towards him again, the young Mexican boy couldn't help swallowing.Ayong can't remember how many goals Aldridge scored on his head today.He only knew that he was tortured to death by that seemingly limp guy, and he was powerless to fight back.If Carl Landry and Emeka Okafor aren't hurt, it's his turn to suffer.

Felton controlled the ball from the outside. As always, he passed the ball directly to Anjie. Anjie also wrestled with Chris Kaman very tough, preparing to push in with a back hit.

Although Aldridge is now off the ball, the Mexican Ayon is still so nervous that his hands are sweating.Aldridge had a lot of goals today, all of which were catch-and-shoot.

Yes, this seemingly not difficult way of scoring, in fact, Anjie and Aldridge put in a lot of hard work underneath.Today, Aldridge's efforts have paid off.

Although Anjie is holding the ball and playing singles with Kaman, Aldridge's running pace has never stopped.

He knows that, as the second head of the team, he must also be active in order to build a reputation in the locker room and fulfill his due responsibilities.Sure enough, it was difficult for Anjie to get a chance under Kaman's top defense this time. Fortunately, Aldridge supported him, otherwise Anjie might have been called an offense for three seconds.

Pass the ball firmly to Aldridge, and Anjie himself quickly jumped out of the three-second zone.At the same time, after receiving the ball, Aldridge shot directly without even making adjustments.Gustavo Ayong, who was too immature, couldn't react at all. He took off in a hurry, but he could only achieve the effect of pretending.

"Brush!" As soon as Ah Yong landed, he heard the "voice of despair" coming from behind.Aldridge and An Jie happily clapped hands in front of this Mexican boy, and Aldridge, who smiled shyly, looked so scary in Ayong's eyes.

"The classic combination of the Trail Blazers, Anjie drilled into the paint, and then assisted Aldridge to make a mid-range shot. It was the same as the pick-and-roll cooperation between Karl Malone and John Stockton in the Jazz. The connection between Ann and Aldridge , It is also very simple and basic, but it is also very effective." Mike Breen of ESPN is definitely a senior commentator. When Anjie was a child, he was commenting on NBA games.But at this moment, the cooperation between Anjie and Aldridge made the veteran commentator feel familiar.

Simple, unpretentious, unpretentious and efficient.This is the first impression of this Trail Blazers team.

The goal just now was just a small microcosm of the whole game.Even if the Hornets have a complete lineup, they may not necessarily be able to beat the Blazers.What's more, the current Hornets have only half of the team that can play.

74 to 86, after defeating the Timberwolves by a big score, Anjie and Aldridge led the team to two consecutive victories in the Rose Garden.

Aldridge scored a game-high 32 points in this game. There is no way, he feels really hot today.Even Anjie has to share the ball with him more.

不过安杰的表现也不差，27分9个篮板8次助攻2次封盖。虽然远不如前两场比赛的40+10华丽，但这也已经足够优秀了。

In addition to Anjie and Aldridge, Courtney Lee also added fuel to the fire and scored 18 points.Because of this, the Hornets lost as much as 12 points.

The Trail Blazers are still hovering at fourth and third in the Western Conference. If it weren't for the scary record of the Spurs and Thunder this season, the Trail Blazers might be able to squeeze into the top spot.

But for An Jie, this is already his best result in the regular season.But in the fiercely competitive West, even if it is now ranked third in the West, Anjie and his team cannot relax.The regular season is still one and a half months away. During this period, falling from third to eighth is not impossible.

The only way to keep yourself from being out is to continue to win and continue to consolidate your wins and rankings.

After a day off, on March 3, the Trail Blazers ushered in their first away game after the All-Star Game.Facing the Nets who are already accustomed to being at the bottom, the Trail Blazers solved the game in only three quarters.

The injury of Brook Lopez, Anjie's old opponent, made it impossible for the Nets to come up with a way to limit Anjie.Anjie's former teammate in the Thunder, French center Johan Petro also really gave Anjie a feeling of "just training".

And Deron Williams, who once caused a lot of trouble for Angie and his Thunder in the Jazz, is now unable to cause any big storms without the help of excellent teammates.

The result of this game seems to have no suspense from the very beginning. The only suspense is what Anjie and his Blazers will play the game.After all, the Continental Airlines Arena in New Jersey has become a veritable "slaughterhouse" this season.And the Nets themselves are the only prey in this court.

78 to 108, as expected, the Trail Blazers won a big victory in New Jersey without any effort.The general manager of the Nets chose the latter between Anjie and Lopez. Lopez is indeed very strong, but wouldn't it be more perfect if he could have Anjie
But time cannot be turned back. This regret must be accompanied by the Nets.

The competition with the Nets is over, and the Trail Blazers will start a new round of back-to-back away trips in the Eastern Conference.

Facing the Wizards in Washington, D.C., Anjie easily scored 30 points and 10 rebounds under the defense of McGee. 15 of 12 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. This set of statistics is enough to show how efficient Anjie is.Of course, it is enough to show how big the basketball IQ gap between McGee, a frequent visitor of O'Neal's five big embarrassments, and Anjie is.

Anjie played well, and the Trail Blazers rarely lost.Unless, their opponent is the Big Three of the Heat.

110 to 99, Anjie and Ricard led the team to retreat in Washington, D.C. After experiencing a two-game losing streak, the Blazers also ushered in their fourth consecutive victory.

However, the Trail Blazers players who have achieved excellent results have no chance to breathe at all. Just after they beat the Wizards, they must board a plane and go to the next stop of the back-to-back tour.

The last time Anjie was defeated by the Heat's Big Three, but this time, they have to face the refinement of the old Big Three!
That's right, the next stop for the Trail Blazers is in Boston!Their next opponent is the Celtics who are currently ranked third in the East just like themselves!
Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen.These three souls of the green army are ready to meet An Jie's violent invasion!
The sprint in the second half of the season is not something that can be easily completed.There are still many powerful opponents that the Trail Blazers have never met before.
