The way of the center

Chapter 373 Stop in Los Angeles

93, 97.The visiting team is at the front and the home team is at the back.An Jie then looked around and confirmed that he was in the Rose Garden Arena.

He saw countless fans wearing his No. 00 jersey cheering wildly in the stands, he saw his teammates wearing the Blazers white home jersey, and he saw the Blazers mascot flame cat dancing in the midfield.It wasn't until An Jie saw all this that he was sure that he was at home!

His tough matchup with Marc Gasol just now was not a dream, and now, the Trail Blazers' victory is not a dream either!
"We fucking did it!" Just as An Jie was thinking, Aldridge hugged An Jie violently.Although An Jie had already left the field before the end of the game, and had no strength to come up again.But if Anjie hadn't brought the team a nine-point lead, it would have been impossible for the Blazers to persist until the end!
The only thing An Jie knew at the last moment was that he should score, and his beautiful offensive moves were completely instinctive.The physical reserves of the players at the end of the season were not as good as they were at the beginning of the season. Now that Anjie and Marc Gasol have to fight for so long, of course he is exhausted.

But the sober-minded fans took every move and every goal of Anjie into their eyes.After Anjie turned on the scoring mode, the Grizzlies were losing ground. The exhausted Marc Gasol couldn't stop Anjie from scoring.

In those minutes, Anjie gave the Blazers a nine-point lead over the Grizzlies!
After that, Anjie and Gasol were both replaced.And without Anjie's Blazers, it is difficult to play a smooth offense under the defense of the Grizzlies.

However, the advantage Anjie established for the team allowed Aldridge and the others to last until the last moment.The game is over, but as the biggest contributor to the victory of this game, Anjie can only collapse in Aldridge's arms.

"You're such a lucky guy." Wu Hua shook his head with a smile, and took a picture of Aldridge and An Jie hugging each other, but An Jie's whole body was limp.This scene reminded him of the scene in the playoffs the year before last, when An Jie persisted in the game with a high fever, but finally collapsed on Morris's shoulder.

Around An Jie, there are always one or two guys who he can trust and who can help him share the pressure.Without this group of people, An Jie's career would not be so successful.

"With Marc gone, we are no different from winners." On the other side, Marc Gasol was so tired that he couldn't move an inch.But Zach Randolph, the former cancer king, supported his inside partner all the way.Randolph saw how much Gasol worked just now.This guy from Spain didn't give up his confrontation with An Jie until the last moment.

Anjie really wanted to talk to Gasol Jr., but he was exhausted and dragged his heavy steps, and he couldn't break through the reporters' siege to find the Grizzlies players.

Marc Gasol also wanted to say something to Angie, a worthy opponent, but now he can only put Zach Randolph's shoulders on his shoulders and head towards the locker room step by step.

After taking a shower, An Jie rested in front of his cabinet for a long time before he really recovered.The scenes that happened when he fought with Marc Gasol just now flashed clearly in An Jie's mind.

Even he himself felt that what he did on the court just now was too crazy, too desperate!However, he did use this method to consume the strong big white bear to death.As long as he can win, no matter how embarrassing the process is, An Jie feels it is worth it.

"Let's go, Ann, those reporters are getting impatient." In order to let An Jie get a full rest, Ricard has not attended the press conference.He wanted to wait for An Jie to recover before going together.In order to get first-hand information about the winner, a group of reporters also waited for a long time in the media reception room of the Rose Garden Arena.

"What kind of opponent do you think Marc Gasol is?" An Jie had just sat down when someone asked.An Jie can be said to have completely swept the inside of the league recently, but today is the only time that An Jie will be forced so badly.Therefore, the reporters really want to know how Anjie evaluates Gasol, a formidable opponent, in his heart.

"Mark? Mark is definitely the last opponent I want to meet." After An Jie answered, the reporters below all opened their mouths in surprise.

This is not because Anjie's answer is so special, but because Marc Gasol also answered the reporter with the same words in the same place more than ten minutes ago.

It seems that as opponents, both Gasol Jr. and Anjie left a deep impression on each other.

Marc Gasol scored 22 points and 8 rebounds. You know, in the inside against Angie, few people can score more than 20.And Anjie scored 35 points, 14 rebounds, 2 blocks and 6 assists at his home court.Although the data looks very beautiful, only An Jie knows how much effort he has put into it.

Just when everyone thought that the Grizzlies would end the Trail Blazers' winning streak, Anjie and his teammates presented the Trail Blazers' No. 11 consecutive victories this season to the fans of the tear city !
"This is really an unforgettable game. If you want me to say, this is simply one of the most exciting regular season games of the season." Shaquille O'Neal was very excited when explaining the game, and rarely did not open too much. What a low-level joke.Throughout the game, O'Neal was very serious, which made Charles Barkley, who was never serious, a little embarrassed.

The duel between two top centers must be interpreted with respect.O'Neal knows that the glory of players in their position is hard to see anymore.
The war between No. 48 in the West and No. [-] in the West is finally over, and the night has swallowed Portland whole.The Trail Blazers fans who were excited all night drove home one after another, ready to sleep sweetly with the team's victory.But the Trail Blazers players, who were tired for [-] minutes just now, had to rush to the airport non-stop, heading for Los Angeles.
Now that An Jie took an extra step, he felt that his heart would not be able to bear the load.He really wanted to lie down on the big bed at home to rest, but the only place where he could rest tonight was the airplane seat.

Just achieved the longest 11-game winning streak of the season, the Trail Blazers must fight back-to-back with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Before, they survived back-to-back road trips in the Eastern Conference.But this time, the western side seems to be more difficult!
Before, back-to-back against the Celtics.Anjie's opponent the day before was the weak Washington Wizards, and the Trail Blazers indeed defeated them with ease.But this time, they fought fiercely against the powerful Grizzlies just now until midnight, and their opponents in the next game, the Lakers, are also one of the Western Conference powerhouses.

Ricard no longer knew how to play this kind of game. He only wanted his men to come back healthy, and that was enough.

Look at what An Jie looks like now, not to mention dominating the game tomorrow, whether he can continue to play for more than 35 minutes is a question.But Ricard doesn't care, some games are destined to be beyond his control.It would be a pity to end the eleven-game winning streak, but with the current strength of the Trail Blazers and the goddamn schedule, this is already the best the Trail Blazers can do.

The Los Angeles Lakers naturally know that the Blazers have just ended a big battle, and they will not let go of this opportunity to "pick up" the victory.

Especially Andrew Bynum, Anjie is absolutely disliked by Bynum.In the player tunnel back then, if Kobe hadn't come out in time to stand between him and Anjie, he and Anjie might have had a physical conflict outside the court.Now that he finally got a chance to stalk Anjie, how could the little shark let it go easily!

After the game started, An Jie looked very embarrassed.First on the defensive end, he was defeated by Bynum.Immediately afterwards, on the offensive end, Anjie was slapped out of bounds by Bynum with the ball.

If Aldridge was replaced by Morris at this time, Bynum might have already received a punch.

However, Aldridge naturally had his own method to help An Jie. He shouldered the burden on An Jie and took the initiative to take over the banner of attack.Under the encirclement of the Lakers champion twin towers, they are still tenaciously performing their offensive tasks.

"Ann has the ball, and today he looks limp! No, Andrew Bynum is like an insurmountable mountain between Ann and the basket. I don't think the game has reached this point, Anjie You can also get along and find a way to break Bynum's defense." As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Anjie passed the ball.

The one who received the ball was none other than LaMarcus Aldridge, the strongest offensive firepower of the Trail Blazers today.

Aldridge caught and shot, and Pau Gasol was a beat slower.The difference of this step is enough for the fiery Aldridge to throw the ball in!

This offense has also become the epitome of the Trail Blazers' game.Anjie disappeared, and Aldridge chased after him.But facing the Lakers who are unwilling to let go after pinching a soft persimmon, the Blazers still cannot escape the bad luck of failure after some resistance.

Bynum finally breathed a sigh of relief on An Jie today. Facing An Jie who was physically exhausted, Bynum showed off his prestige. With 26 points and 9 rebounds, he completely overwhelmed Anjie in this game!

And the Lakers small guard Ramon Sessions' fiery touch also allowed him to score 20 points just by shooting.In addition, Kobe's 18 points also became the last straw that crushed the Trail Blazers.

Aldridge, who took the heavy responsibility for the Trail Blazers, scored a game-high 29 points and shot 66 percent from the field.But apart from him, the tired Blazers have no second person who can show performance.

Anjie only scored 16 points and 5 rebounds today, and played only 31 minutes.After experiencing a crazy and strong eleven-game winning streak, An Jie finally stopped in Los Angeles.

After losing the game, Ricard felt much more relaxed.The winning streak is sometimes a stimulant for the team, but more often it is a huge burden on them.

Now, with the results, the burden has been thrown away.And the most difficult back-to-back schedule in March has finally survived.

Although the eleven-game winning streak ended in Los Angeles, it only means that the Blazers, who are traveling lightly, will bring even greater surprises to the fans!

The Portland Trail Blazers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 96-103.The Los Angeles people finally had the thrill of revenge and had the opportunity to raise their arms and cheer.

But Ricard knew that the rejuvenated Blazers and Anjie would definitely make the whole league keep avoiding them.

No matter how powerful a person is, there are times when he dozes off.Now, Anjie and Blazers are about to wake up.
