The way of the center
Chapter 372 Cruel
Chapter 372 Cruel
The outcome of a game is never a private matter of one individual, and the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers, who are good at playing team basketball, know the truth of this.
Therefore, it is not only Anjie and Gasol who are gearing up for a fight to the death.All the people who are about to appear on the stage intend to throw out their last strength.
The difference of four points is indeed not that big, but for this kind of anxious game, it takes a lot of effort to catch up with four points.
Just at this juncture of chasing points, the Trail Blazers took the lead in the fourth quarter.Marc Gasol and his teammates can only put on a good posture, no matter how bad the situation is, all they can do is try their best.
Even though An Jie had been adjusting his breathing the whole time during the intermission, when he played now, he still felt a huge load on his heart.There is no way, the desperate fight with Gasol just now was too exhausting.
But the more tired he was, the happier An Jie was.Because he knew that Gasol's condition would only be worse than his own!
This time, Ricard once again changed his strategy unexpectedly.Anjie was no longer the main point of attack, but Felton and Matthews took the lead for a while.
An Jie moved actively in the Grizzlies halfcourt. He knew that his two guard teammates who were not strong in breakthrough ability had to rely on his high-quality pick-and-roll to get into the penalty area and score for the team.
So even if it wasn't the main point of attack, An Jie didn't feel much easier.In order to pick and roll for Matthews and Felton, Angie's running range is even wider.
However, Ricard's arrangement is not without purpose. Using the defender's breakthrough to cause damage and continue to consume Gasol's physical energy, this is the task of Matthews and Felton!
Seeing Anjie's pick-and-roll was just in place, Raymond Felton went straight to the inside.Mike Conley was about to reach out for a steal, but the old-fashioned Felton changed hands and dribbled the ball, which didn't let Conley succeed.
Felton's speed is not very fast, so when he broke into the restricted area, Randolph has also come to defend.But Felton didn't mean to slow down at all. He didn't come directly to score.
"Beep beep!" Just a second before the two collided, Felton started for a layup.In this way, what Randolph was made was not an ordinary foul, but a shooting foul!In this way, regardless of the number of fouls committed by the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter, Felton will get two free throws!
"Fuck!" Zach Randolph may have changed his ways, but his temper is hard to change.Seeing that he was fouled, Randolph immediately uttered dirty words.Fortunately, the referee's ears didn't hear it, otherwise, a technical foul would be inevitable.
Felton took two deep breaths and made all free throws with the basketball.The first time the tactics were executed, Ricard received results!
In the second round, Anjie still didn't catch the ball.He ran an off-ball pick-and-roll for Wesley Matthews, delaying Grizzlies perimeter defender Tony Allen to his side.
Seeing this opportunity, Felton flicked hard, letting the basketball fly into Matthews' hands at the fastest speed.Because he knows that against guys like Tony Allen, opportunities are always fleeting.
The ball passed really fast, even a little too fast.As a result, Matthews failed to catch the ball well, and the basketball almost escaped Matthews' control and flew out of bounds.But fortunately, Matthews' other hand reacted quickly and grabbed the basketball that was about to go out of bounds, and finally took it down successfully.
But with such a delay, Tony Allen's defense also came up.But Matthews' eyes are still staring at the basket firmly, and he still plans to take advantage of the situation!
Tony Allen counted the timing and jumped with all his strength. He was very confident that he could block the ball!
But the most basic prerequisite for completing the blocking is that the opponent can make a move.Seeing Tony Allen soaring into the sky, Matthews raised his mouth slightly.His firm gaze was just a bait to deceive Tony Allen!
"Tony Allen was blown away by Wesley Matthews! My God, this is really rare!" It's not unusual to blow an opponent away with a fake shot, but the person who was blown away was Tony Allen. Allen, this is a bit unusual.
Tony Allen can't do anything now, he can only watch Wesley Matthews pass by him in the air.
Zach Randolph has rushed to cover the defense, but he has four fouls and he can't afford another foul.
Matthews, like Felton, has no intention of slowing down.He raised the basketball, jumped on one foot, and was about to score a layup. No matter how bad it was, he could also make Randolph a foul.
However, in the next second, Matthews felt that the basketball in his hand was pushed away by something more powerful!The basketball hit the backboard hard and bounced back hard.
After landing, Matthews immediately turned his head to look, but he could only see a big white man standing in front of him with gritted teeth.
"Marc Gasol's shot blocking is very beautiful! Wesley Matthews is indeed a good shooter, but in the restricted area, he needs to practice a lot!" Kenny Smith thought that Randolph Can't escape bad luck, everyone knows that Marc Gasol actually completed such a wonderful defense.
However, the ball was blocked, but Ricard did not show the slightest disappointment on his face.Don't look at the little gasol explosion just now, but the physical strength required for that attack is huge!It won't be long before Gasol looks exactly the same as he did in the second quarter.At that time, An Jie will be unrivaled in the restricted area!
"Damn it!" Gasol Jr. did not celebrate wantonly after successfully completing the block, but wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.As a heavy center forward, physical strength is an insurmountable problem.But in this match, he was unlucky to meet the desperate An Jie and George Ricard, who had a lot of tricks.
Marc Gasol knows that these are intentionally arranged by the Trail Blazers, but what can he do?Tell him to let Matthews foul Randolph?He had no choice but to go all out.
In the following games, the Trail Blazers still focused on the outside players, and Matthews, who was originally better at shooting, also increased his breakthrough times.
During this period, the Trail Blazers' scoring efficiency was not high.The Grizzlies took this opportunity to overtake by three points, and the game entered the first official timeout in the fourth quarter.
"Gatorade!" As soon as An Jie sat down, he opened his big hand towards someone at work.Immediately, a bottle of Gatorade was handed to An Jie.
An Jie unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and took two sips of the power drink into his mouth.He was already very tired, and An Jie felt a little overwhelmed by the relentless slamming.What does this mean?This does not mean that Anjie is about to lose control of the penalty area, it means that Gasol is not far from collapse!
Anjie still has the energy to drink Gatorade here, and on the other side of the Grizzlies bench, the only thing Marc Gasol can do is to rest with his head down.He couldn't speak a word, and he even felt that speaking was a waste of energy.
Although it is a long pause, the pause time is only 60 seconds.Little Gasol has not recovered his breath, so he must continue to wear clothes.
"Ann! It's time! You know what you should do! Win the game, I want you to win this damn tug-of-war!" Rickard emphasized loudly to An Jie. In the last 8 minutes, An Jie will be regarded as Ricard's last trump card is played!
Marc Gasol had just stepped onto the field and hadn't stabilized his heels when he realized that Anjie had started to tangle with him!The continuous breakthroughs of Field and Matthews just now made Gasol exhausted. Now he can't resist Anjie's back attack at all!
The Trail Blazers' offense has changed from complicated to simple again. As soon as Angie gets the ball, others will immediately make room for him.
"Come on, you damn Chinese!" Gasol gritted his teeth. This was really an unforgettable battle.He thought that he could continue to resist An Jie's back attack, but it would be quite difficult.But when Anjie exerted his strength, Gasol realized that he was wrong.
He was forced to take a big step back by An Jie!His legs could no longer hold him steady.And it was difficult for his arms to resist the force from An Jie's waist.
Just one big step is enough for An Jie to enter his attack range.He leaned on Gasol's body and turned halfway, raised the basketball with his right hand, and shot the ball with a hook.
Gasol tried his best to take off, ready to slap the ball back.But his increasingly heavy legs could not help him, but could only drag him down.
An Jie's hook hit the board, and the Grizzlies have built up a weak advantage with all their efforts, and there is only one point left!
Anjie doesn't know how long he can last. In short, when he can still play, he must try his best to get as many points as possible for the Trail Blazers.
So, next, An Jie completely turned on the scoring mode.He tortured Gasol's body in various ways. Only now did Gasol realize how terrifying the center with the most comprehensive skills in the league is!
Jump shot, post-up, face-up, basket skills.Anjie's offense made Gasol, who is now exhausted, unable to find a weakness. This guy seems to know everything, and he can do everything very well!
During a layup, Anjie collided with Gasol, who jumped to block himself.Two exhausted big men both fell to the ground, lying on the wooden floor, dizzy from the intense light in the arena.
Anjie and Gasol both lay on the ground and raised their hands, beckoning their teammates to come over and help them.Now these two big guys can't even support themselves from the floor!
After getting up, Anjie and Gasol looked at each other.Even though they were already in such a mess, there was no sign of admitting defeat in the eyes of the two sides.
The confrontation between the two lasted until the last 3 minutes of the game. Now, their fierce confrontation has turned into a soft mutual bullying.An Jie was dying, he felt that he almost lost the strength to pass the ball.And what about Gasol?He persisted until now entirely by will, body?The energy in Gasol's body has already been exhausted.
Ricard was unwilling to let Anjie continue like this, so he replaced the exhausted head star with Marcus Camby.The Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins finally took down Marc Gasol.
After the two giants left the field, they all lay on the bench without exception.They were so exhausted that it was hard to even sit up.
"Ann, do you want a championship?" Ricard's serious tone echoed in Anjie's ears.
"Hey, tell me, can the three of us win the O'Brien Cup one day?" Durant's expectant eyes appeared in Anjie's mind.
Gradually, these two things gradually dispersed.Instead, there were loud shouts from the match scene.
It wasn't until now that An Jie remembered that he was in the Rose Garden, and he was lying on the bench at the moment, like a puddle of mud.
"Beep!" Just as he regained consciousness, An Jie heard a loud, ear-piercing sound.He knew what the sound meant, he knew it all too well, and after every game, he would hear it along with the red light on the backboard.
This burst of sound represented the official end of the game!
An Jie struggled to stand up, and looked up at the big screen at the scene.An Jie didn't even look at the score when he left the field just now.He only knows that he has been scoring and fighting for victory.Of course, that damn Marc Gasol has been making himself miserable too.
A drop of sweat accidentally fell into An Jie's eyes, and An Jie's eyes instantly became hot.But he didn't close his eyes, he was eager to know what the score was.
Vaguely, An Jie seemed to see two numbers. 93, 97.Away team in front, home team behind
