The way of the center

Chapter 378 Heatwave
"Russell Westbrook's breakthrough is so domineering! Ty Lawson is not out of position at all, but even so, he can't stop Westbrook's breakthrough! No, what does Russell want! Oh! My God! Oh my God, I still can't believe what I just saw! Russell Westbrook dunks through Costa Koufos! Facing the Nuggets, the Thunder have already Extended the lead to 12 points! This is the crazy playoffs!" Following Mike Brin's passionate shout, An Jie stood up involuntarily and waved his fist.

"It's a damn good job! It should be played like this!" An Jie kept applauding Westbrook as if he was in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

"Andrew Morris returned to the defense very quickly, can he succeed! Yes! Morris did it, he completed the big chase on Faried!"

"Kyle Durant!!!! Shot! The fourth three-pointer of the game!"

"Coach Jeff Van Gundy must be very happy. Compared with the previous year, this year's Thunder team faced the Nuggets again with ease. Think about it, if the Thunder team still has An Jie now, how terrible their offensive power will be!"

Hearing the narrator say this, An Jie's originally excited mood calmed down a lot.Yes, I am so excited here, but he no longer belongs to the Oklahoma City Thunder.No matter how well the Thunder played, it had nothing to do with An Jie.

But An Jie just couldn't help it, couldn't help but want to see how the Thunder performed on the first day of the playoffs.He believes that tomorrow, Westbrook, Durant, Morris and Van Gundy will definitely make an appointment together to watch his game!

Although they have parted ways, these guys will never really be able to separate from each other.Because of them, they have become a part of each other's lives.

In the end, the Oklahoma City Thunder, which has become very powerful, defeated the Nuggets 103 to 86.The cheers from the Chesapeake Energy Arena made Anjie feel as if he was in the past.

If An Jie wants to play against this Thunder team, then at least both sides have to reach the Western Conference Finals.An Jie is very unwilling to be an enemy of the Thunder, but the Western Conference Finals is also An Jie's longing goal.

Anyway, Anjie is still sincerely happy that his brothers have made a good start to the playoffs.He immediately sent a congratulatory message to Morris and others, celebrating their first win in the playoffs.

However, Anjie is not jealous at all of the Oklahoma City Thunder that is now in full swing.Because he knew that his own victory would come tomorrow night!
A strong man looked at the night scene of Portland through the huge window of the hotel. This city is indeed much more beautiful than he imagined.Although it is not as good as an international metropolis like Los Angeles, the City of Roses has its own unique beauty.

How wonderful it would be if this city didn't have An Jie, the trailblazer who went all the way.
"Blake, are you still asleep?" The strong man heard someone calling his name behind him, so he turned his head.

"Scared me, I thought who was it? I can't sleep, tomorrow's game must be very difficult." Blake Griffin, as the No. 09 pick in [-], has experienced season reimbursement just like Anjie.And tomorrow will be the champion's first playoff match!

"Nervous?" Chris Paul shook his head with a smile. It turns out that Griffin, who is like a beast on the court, will also be nervous sometimes.

"You know Paul, what we are facing is the most aggressive inside combination in the league." Griffin looked solemn, and once again cast his eyes out of the window.

"Don't worry, Blake, I'll make you and DeAndre the best inside combination in the league." Chris Paul patted this strong teammate who was only in the second grade but had already shown good strength.

In the Hornets before, Paul suffered from the lack of effective assistants around him.But now, he has the No. [-] pick by his side, and a center Jordan who can bring shelter to the Clippers' penalty area.There is Caron Butler, the hero of last season's championship team, and Foye, a traditional shooting guard with stable output.

Griffin, who is participating in the playoffs for the first time, may be nervous, but Chris Paul is not afraid of Anjie and his Blazers at all!
Tonight, the NBA playoffs have started.But for the Trail Blazers and Clippers, this is the last peace before their war.

"Hoo hoo hoo." An Jie breathed evenly, and the big drops of sweat hanging on the tip of his chin looked crystal clear under the sunlight.

"One more lap, the last lap!" Beside Anjie was LaMarcus Aldridge, who was also covered in sweat.

The two ran forward side by side, at quite the same pace, and this was already the sixth lap of Anjie and Aldridge's morning jog around the Rose Garden Stadium.

Ever since Aldridge first invited Anjie to his special warm-up, the two have often run around the court before important games.According to Aldridge, running around the Rose Garden in the morning will bring good luck to God.

"Ann! Tonight's game, you will be optimistic about Jordan, right?" During the run, the two teammates who had a good relationship would chat with each other from time to time.

"Little Jordan? Don't worry about LaMarcus. I watched him to death when I was still in college. Now, the situation will not change!" Anjie smiled at Aldridge, against the backdrop of the sun , What this smile brings to people is infinite peace of mind.

"Ha, I knew you would say that. Ann, after a season, I'm really glad to have you by my side." Aldridge knew that although he had good statistics, he led the team alone, and the Trail Blazers It is impossible to have such a result.

Although An Jie is the star of the team, An Jie is very willing to contribute.It is precisely because of this that the connection between Aldridge and Anjie is so delicate.So much so that both of them have been dubbed the title of "the most offensive inside combination in the league".

"We agreed, LaMarcus, I'll look behind you, and you can attack with confidence. I am the best defense, and you are the best offense!" An Jie quickened his pace, and for some reason, it seemed that the game was getting more and more serious. As it got closer, Anjie became more and more excited
Griffin looked out of the team bus, surrounded by black Blazers fans.This group of crazy guys cheered signally, holding a sign and rushing to the Clippers team bus to demonstrate.Of course, there is still a large part of them wearing the Trail Blazers No. 00 jersey that has chilled countless players.

The confident look on the faces of this group of fans, as if the Trail Blazers had already won the series.

"We are so welcome." Griffin knew that their ears would not be quiet in the rose garden later.

After a lot of effort, the Clippers players were able to squeeze into the player channel.In addition to the fans, media reporters also rounded up them layer by layer.

But even in the player tunnel, Griffin found that his ears were not that quiet at all.

It wasn't until they entered the visiting team's locker room and closed the door of the locker room with excellent sound insulation that the noisy sound finally disappeared.

"Here we are, buddy. We will fight here for the next two games!" Pooh DeNagello knocked on the tactical whiteboard, and the entire Clippers players entered the fighting state!
Afterwards, the pre-match warm-ups of the two sides naturally turned into a feast for reporters.Reporters from various channels in various countries stepped into the stadium to take as many pictures as possible and interview more stars without disturbing the players' warm-up.

An Jie didn't know how he spent his warm-up, he only knew that someone kept shouting his name.But in his eyes, there is only basketball and only opponents.

After warming up, Wu Hua watched An Jie walk into the player tunnel again with high spirits.Ricard is now going to make the final deployment to the team.

Looking at An Jie's state of mind, Wu Hua knew that DeAndre Jordan would be very sad today.

"It's all here guys, we've worked hard all season, we've gone through countless damn back-to-backs, and now we're finally here!" Ricard threw away the marker pen in his hand. In the last few minutes, he couldn't Going to talk about tactics.

"The Los Angeles Clippers want to stop us, go tell them it's impossible! Go tell those proud Los Angeles people that Portland is not the beautiful city of roses, but the terrifying city of tearing!"

"Let's go!" This time, it was no longer Ricard who opened the door of the locker room first, but An Jie who had become the true leader of the Trail Blazers!
He stood at the forefront of the team, ready to lead his teammates out of the player channel at any time, to the battlefield that belonged to the peaceful era!
"An, An, An, An" was still in the player tunnel, and An Jie vaguely heard the fans shouting.

The closer to the exit, the louder the shout.He smelled a smell of gunpowder smoke, and he knew that flames were being sprayed on the court to create momentum for their appearance.

On the big screen at the scene are highlights of the Trail Blazers this season.All the fans stood up and cheered, and the hero on the screen would appear in front of them immediately.

"Are you ready!?" An Jie turned his head and asked his teammates behind him.

"Let's go!" Aldridge answered first, followed by Felton, Wallace, Matthews, Crawford, Camby, Lee
"Huh, not bad." An Jie's mouth curled up, and he jumped a few times, stepping on his brand new combat boots.

The cheers grew louder, An Jie started to swing his arms and ran up!
Behind him, everyone ran with him.The picture of the stadium became clearer and clearer, and the shouts of the fans became more and more harsh.

"Boom!" The moment he ran out of the player tunnel, the frenzied atmosphere rushed towards An Jie and the others!And the cheers at the scene also reached a climax!
"Portland~~~~~ Trail Blazers!" The DJ on the scene continued to shout for a long time, just in response to the appearance of the Trail Blazers players.

An Jie's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and the atmosphere of the scene had already made An Jie eager to try!
