The way of the center

Chapter 352 The situation changes suddenly
"Angie's beautiful alley-oop dunk! This dunk also allowed the Trail Blazers to overtake the score. Now there are less than 4 minutes left in the second quarter. Let's see if Coach Rivers will put Gane Come up and confront An Jie!" With the continuous development of network technology, fans watching NBA games are no longer limited to CCTV5.Webcasting has become the choice of more and more fans.

At the moment, the guy commenting the game in the Sina live broadcast room is a cutting-edge commentator, Ke Fan, who does not look very good-looking, but has certain insights and characteristics in the content of the commentary.

"Hey, look. Coach Rivers really can't help it. Now that the score has been overtaken, he has to bring Garnett up. We are very excited to see Garnett himself. His provocation, maybe it really stimulated the brain of this veteran." Ke Fan continued to explain the game, and he was completely immersed in this wonderful matchup.He was originally a fan, but he was lucky enough to get a career related to his interests.

"It's a bit late." An Jie watched Garnett stepping into the court, muttering in his mouth.As for Coach Rivers, he is really calm.In the second quarter, Anjie was overwhelming the inside line of the Celtics. He could hold back in a daze and let Garnett's rest time proceed as planned.

"You'll regret it, boy!" Rivers held his breath, but Garnett was not that type of person.As soon as he came on stage, he put down his cruel words to An Jie!

This time the Celtics' offense, Garnett rarely took the initiative to raise his hand for the ball.Originally, in this match, he didn't intend to attack on his own to waste energy, but now, Wolf King felt that he had to do something to save face and let An Jie know who he really was!

Garnett held the ball with his back to the basket. He tentatively used his back to feel Anjie's defense, which was very sophisticated.

Suddenly!Garnett turned around and stepped up to the left. In terms of speed, Garnett is no better than Anjie now.After he turned around, he couldn't rely on his speed to completely surpass An Jie, but he still used his strong body to carry An Jie's chest and walked in.

An Jie had to admire Garnett in his heart. If he was 36 years old, he might not be able to wrestle with a young man in his early twenties.

But this is what makes the Wolf King different. No matter what the situation, he is always full of fighting spirit.What's more, what An Jie did really angered him!

It is impossible for Garnett to slam dunk like he did in his peak period.But he still leaned on Anjie to take off and made a layup.

Angie tried his best to reach the basketball in Garnett's hands, but Garnett's wingspan was not bad either.If it were someone else, Anjie would complete another block.But Garnett cheated a foul on Anjie.

After hearing the harsh whistle, An Jie immediately opened his hands and looked at the referee.But it was impossible for the referee to change the decision. Garnett proudly walked to the free throw line and scored two points easily with his soft touch.

After the goal, Garnett pointed to Anjie, who was about to serve the bottom line.Show him that playing basketball is not just about body and strength.Garnett's offense did not expect to be able to score the ball directly at all.Creating lethality is also a technical task.

After the Trail Blazers' offense, Anjie really experienced what is called "special treatment".The master Garnett took care of him in every possible way, which really made Anjie want to give Garnett a warm hug.

When he was still in position, Garnett's hands were not honest.He either grabbed the jersey, or directly grabbed An Jie's arm.An Jie was not to be outdone, he kept elbowing Garnett in the process of pressing back. The duel between these two performance masters made the referee unaware!

"Damn it, Garnett, can't he play well?" Rickard naturally knew how dirty the duel between Anjie and Garnett was.He watched with trepidation, for fear that Garnett would use some kind of hurtful trick to hurt An Jie again.Don't be surprised, Garnett is definitely a guy who can do this kind of thing!
"You fucking keep coming, why is it not in place? Come on, jerk, you're fucking pushing to the basket!" In addition to the movements of his hands, Garnett's trash talk on the court also came out. famous.At most, Anjie can talk a few words after scoring a goal or blocking a shot, but Garnett, this guy, can chatter with you all the time.

Angie admitted that he was a little distraught by Garnett's swear words.Before he got the ball, Garnett was chattering.If he got the ball, he might really have a direct wrestling fight with An Jie.

But this attack on Anjie did not make Garnett get what he wanted. He pulled Garnett out of the three-second zone, and Aldridge seized the opportunity to complete a turnaround jumper at close range.Although Brandon Bass defended very hard, the huge height gap between the two still allowed Aldridge to hit the ball.

After that, Ricard immediately called a timeout and replaced Anjie.Firstly, it was because Anjie had played for too long in the second quarter, and secondly, now that Garnett was in a rage, God knows what he would do to Anjie.

In the remaining few minutes of the game in the second quarter, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides was obviously much weaker.Facing an old man like himself like Marcus Camby, Garnett really didn't have any desire to provoke.

In the game, there was also a rare calm.

57 to 54, the Trail Blazers completed the overtake in the second quarter under the leadership of Anjie.But the Celtics have always been a team that has just won a championship in five years, and none of the core players has left.This level is not enough to allow the Blazers to gain an overwhelming advantage.

If the two sides want to decide the outcome, they still need a half-court time to fight hard.

15 points and 6 rebounds, this is the data that Anjie handed over at halftime.Garnett's defense can't be said to be bad, but his playing time simply can't match Anjie.With him on the court, at least An Jie's offense was very difficult. The best defensive player in NBDL, Greg Stiensma, has proved unable to restrain Anjie. The only way for Rivers to win is to increase Garnett's playing time!
"KG, I think you have to work harder in the second half." After Rivers and the players returned to the locker room, the first sentence he said was to Garnett.

"I'm not afraid of working hard to coach, don't worry, as long as I'm on the court, I will definitely do my best to stop Ann!" Garnett only scored 4 points in the first half of the game, and he has devoted himself to defense and offense. ?He really couldn't care less about this game.

To deal with a monster like Anjie, there are very few insiders in this league who can put the same energy on the defensive and offensive ends at the same time.In short, he is 36 years old, and he is definitely not in this list.

"Ann, I want you to pass the ball in the second half. In the first half, you played too many isolations, and our offense was easily choked. Everyone has to invest in the offense, Ann, you should be in the high post Hold the ball and observe the running positions of your teammates. There is really no chance, so you play alone again!" Ricard is very aware of Anjie's ability, even in a high position, Anjie can calmly complete the attack.What he is worried about now is that if Anjie is blocked, the Trail Blazers will probably stagnate.In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, he has to let others play the rhythm.

So at the beginning of the second half of the game, Garnett, who was originally full of enthusiasm, was thrown a lot of cold water by Anjie as soon as he came on the court.

Now, Anjie didn't go to the low post to fight Garnett again.Rivers originally focused his defense on the inside, but now the entire Trail Blazers, apart from Aldridge, have no second guy wandering around the three-second zone.

"Is this fucking back again?" Rivers has seen countless videos of Anjie, from the Thunder period to the present, and he has studied them more than once.Holding the ball near the free throw line, this is how Anjie played when he was in the Thunder.

At that time, the core of the team's offense was Durant, the second offensive point was Westbrook, and Anjie held the ball in the middle distance, just as a supporting role.

But now, Anjie is the absolute core of the Trail Blazers, and he just scored 40+ points in a row against the Heat and Timberwolves.Such a good inside offensive player was called by Ricard to pass the ball again?
Anjie didn't come to pass the ball, he just came to grasp the rhythm of the entire attack.Ricard could see that Raymond Felton was not calm enough when facing Rondo today.He was just able to safely pass the ball to Anjie, but how about organizing the team's offense?Felton didn't do well today.

But with An Jie as the command tower, the game became completely different.

After Felton came up, Anjie first went out and made a pick and roll for him.Krondo didn't take this at all, he knew that Felton would not choose to attack by himself.He bypassed Anjie himself, and waited behind for Felton to throw himself into the trap

Felton hung up Anjie's pick and roll, but when he came out again, Rondo found that Felton didn't have a basketball in his hands!Just now, when An Jie and Felton passed each other, this smart and experienced point guard had secretly passed the ball to An Jie!
Just when all the Celtics players, including Garnett, were still in a daze.An Jie suddenly shifted in a wide range, and the camera hurriedly followed the fast-speed basketball, and finally stopped at the bottom corner.

"Wesley Matthews! An open three-pointer from the corner!"

Now, everyone's attention is on Matthews again, and Matthews looks like he is bound to make a shot when there is an open opportunity.

He did take off, and he did get into the shooting position.But just when everyone thought that this shot would be the end of the Trail Blazers' offense in this round, he suddenly changed his gesture, changed his shot into a pass, and hit the ball into the penalty area.

Until now, the players of the Celtics have realized that their penalty area is so empty!Aldridge caught the ball solidly, and before Brandon Bass could get back on defense, he hooked the ball into an empty basket.

The Celtics players all looked at each other in blank dismay, they hadn't realized what happened just now.

Starting from Anjie's point, with just two passes, the Celtics' defense was completely torn apart!This was much easier and more effective than An Jie's deadly inside play.

Garnett came on the court in a fit of anger. This time he and Anjie didn't even have physical contact in the attack, and the Trail Blazers scored.

"Rickard, this guy, isn't he going to suddenly change his style of play?" The Blazers' offensive style this time is completely different from before.

Anjie didn't score, but Rivers felt that the Celtics seemed more dangerous.

If the Trail Blazers start to connect in series, what's the use of defending Anjie?Rivers can only continue to wait and see, he hopes that this attack is just a flash in the pan
