The way of the center

Chapter 384 Makeover
"As a post player, how many foot fakes do you use per game?"

"Believe me, this number is far more than perimeter players!"

After the opening remarks were finished, the TV screen immediately began to show the highlights of An Jie's goal after passing the opponent with various footsteps on the field.

"Oh! He is the reincarnation of Olajuwon!"

"Terrible Ann! This guy is playing tricks on his opponents!"

"The number one center in the league! An is definitely the number one center in the league that is well-deserved now!"

Adding passionate commentary when playing highlights will undoubtedly greatly increase the sensory impact of the advertisement.This kind of thing, Nike has done very skillfully.

After the highlights were played, a picture of An Jie running back with a smile appeared on the screen.The camera got closer and closer, and finally fixed on the shoes on An Jie's feet.

In the end, of course, the screen went black.The name of the center generation and the Nike swoosh logo appear on a black background.

Nike's new ad, of course, corresponds to An Jie's new shoes.Even though The Way of the Center is now a global hit, a carefully crafted commercial is still very necessary.

"I should fucking buy a pair and try it out!" Countless fans had this thought after seeing the commercial. Anjie's market appeal is indeed huge.

But more people in front of the TV are more concerned about the live broadcast of the game after the commercial ends.The contest between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Clippers in the third game of the first round will be broadcast after the commercial of the center generation!

"Welcome to Los Angeles Staples, here is Kenny Smith, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley. Tonight, we will bring you the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Portland Trail Blazers third The contest of the game." The familiar opening words made the fans in front of the TV quickly enter the state, how will the Clippers fight back?Can the unstoppable Blazers get match point?All these suspenses stimulate the excitement of the fans all the time.

"No matter how the Clippers change, you must first stabilize me! If they are not fast, you will follow fast, and if they are anxious, you will also be anxious. Keep your rhythm, let us end the first round of battle in Los Angeles!" Ricard's yelling from the sidelines caused displeasure among Staples fans in the front row.According to what he said, does he still want to sweep the Clippers!

So, when Anjie and the others played, the proud Los Angeles fans booed all the Trail Blazers enthusiastically.

Pooh De Nagro glanced at Ricard before the kick-off. For this game, he has already made a lot of sacrifices and a lot of preparations.I hope this monstrous rookie coach won't come up with any weird tricks to limit Paul.

An Jie habitually jumped before jumping the ball. He didn't know that the sales of the pair of sneakers he was wearing had doubled again.It can even be said that An Jie has left everything such as bonuses and sharing behind him.Because at this moment, the only thing on his mind is the game!
Just after the first goal of the game, the Clippers' offense made Ricard frown.

During the regular season, the Clippers played very well, but their offensive routines were very simple.It's nothing more than Griffin and DeAndre Jordan's pick-and-roll, and Paul's breakthrough after his personal ability.

But now, the Trail Blazers players have discovered that the complexity of the Clippers' tactical moves has risen to more than one level.

In the two games in Portland, they can easily contain each other.But in Los Angeles, with the cheers of the home fans, the Clippers seem to have finally found their rhythm.

This time, even Griffin and Jordan followed the system. Although An Jie didn't have to worry about Jordan's shooting, in order to prevent Jordan from cutting inside comfortably, An Jie chose to follow the defense.

Without a pick-and-roll, Chris Paul easily broke through Felton with his quick change of direction.But this time, there was no one who stepped forward to stop Paul.Because of their own counterpoint, they have already tossed them enough.

Seeing Paul go all the way to the basket smoothly, Anjie had to take on the responsibility of being the last line of defense.He left Jordan Jr. and could only pray in his heart that Chris Paul wouldn't find the gap.

But under such circumstances, even God cannot bless An Jie.Because what Chris Paul is best at is to find the gap, and then use precise passes to help his teammates complete the final blow!
In order to prevent Paul from throwing shots, An Jie had to move forward a bit.However, this mention gave Jordan enough room to attack!

Chris Paul's eyes were fixed on the basket, but his wrist flicked suddenly, and the basketball flew to An Jie's left hand side!

An Jie stretched out his hand subconsciously, but he couldn't reach the ball at all.Paul's pass was too fast, and An Jie, who was a little forward, couldn't touch it at all.

"Oops!" As soon as the ball passed through Anjie's defense, Anjie knew something was wrong.Sure enough, in the next second, he heard the loud sound of the collision between the body and the basket!
"Big dunk with both hands! DeAndre Jordan took the lead for the Clippers! This dunk is really exciting, and Chris Paul's pass is also very subtle."

Accompanied by the cheers of the Staples Center fans, An Jie picked up the basketball on the ground.Sure enough, the Clippers, who were fighting to the death, were forced to take out all their wealth!Jordan's relentless running has undoubtedly created a lot of opportunities for Paul, a guy who can always find a way.

But fortunately, after Jordan's beautiful goal, Anjie immediately responded offensively.

This time, Anjie and Felton used the simple but very effective tactic they had practiced in training.

Felton used the pick-and-roll to break through, and under Anjie's high-quality pick-and-roll, Chris Paul was completely passed by Felton.So DeAndre Jordan had to switch defenses with Paul, and he had to shrink the penalty area to prevent Felton from attacking the basket.

And Felton made a pass from his crotch in the process of advancing, and hit the ball back to Anjie's hands.An Jie threw the ball as soon as he caught it, Chris Paul tried his best to interfere, but he couldn't block An Jie's sight at all.

"A hollow hit! Ann's shooting is still very solid."

"I can't believe how DeAndre Jordan and Griffin survived the two perverts Ann and Aldridge." Even Charles Barkley shook his fat head, although Ann What Jie and Aldridge know more than others is just a simple mid-range shot, but there are countless tactical options that a mid-range shot can create.

But before the Trail Blazers' defensive lineup stood up after the goal, it was discovered that the Clippers led by Paul had once again attacked the door.

"Raise the pace of the game so fast?" Ricard has never relaxed his brow since the game started.He knew that his Trail Blazers had always been experts at controlling the tempo of the game, and that his boys were always able to bring opponents to a slow tempo and then beat them.But today, De Nagro seems to intend to forcibly increase the tempo at any cost and disrupt the Trail Blazers' position.Also, if the Clippers lose again, they will fall behind 3-0.At that time, there is still power left, and it will be useless!

It seems that the Clippers are playing this game as a tie-break!

Before Aldridge was in a good position, the fast-propelling Chris Paul easily completed the alley-oop cooperation with the equally fast-moving Griffin, the spring man.

Two offenses, two dunks, two goals.The Clippers reversed their decline and played the most powerful start since the playoffs!
But fortunately, Anjie still followed Ricard's arrangement and stabilized the rhythm for the Trail Blazers.They played steadily and steadily, making the score between the two sides a 7-7 tie.

Seeing that An Jie performed well, Ricard let out a sigh of relief.As long as Anjie's pinnacle is there, the Clippers are destined to be unable to make waves.

But just in the next round, Ricard regretted what he had just thought!
"Blake Griffin's short-range turnaround jumper! My God, look at how miserable this guy is being forced by Aldridge. This is not Griffin's good offensive method." Kenny Smith shook his head. Riffin finally scored a good goal, but now he is impatient, but he started to mess around again.

Even Aldridge himself felt that his defense was actually very successful.Forcing the opponent to shoot in a way that he is not good at can indeed be called a successful defense.

However, just when everyone thought that the Trail Blazers were about to break the stalemate.The basketball that Griffin threw, but bumped into the basket!
"Yeah!" Griffin growled, and DeAndre Jordan came over with a fierce expression and patted Griffin on the head.The deadlock was indeed broken, but it was not Anjie and Aldridge who broke the deadlock.

After that, the Clippers, who continued to speed up, played more and more smoothly.You know, in terms of athletic ability alone, Griffin and Jordan are far better than Anjie and Aldridge.

Alley oops, forced dunks, throws, and chasing three-pointers.The Clippers showed the characteristics of a fast-paced team to the fullest, and De Nagro was so excited that he kept yelling for the players beside the bench.The tactics he drew up during the night vigil really worked!
And the pioneers, who were falling behind more and more, also unknowingly became impatient.With such impatience, it is naturally easy to follow the Clippers to speed up and enter the rhythm of the Clippers.

Unlike the Thunder back then, which can be fast or slow, the Blazers' current lineup is absolutely superb for positional warfare, but they play fast-paced offense and defense.
The two guards, Felton and Matthews, don't have strong impact, and Gerald Wallace's athletic ability is not as good as it was back then.Angie and Aldridge?These two guys were born entirely for positional warfare.

Such a team was brought into a fast pace, and the ending was impatient. Not only did they not get close to the score, but they made the Clippers widen the point difference!
Ricard's yelling could no longer allow him to control the situation on the field. If he wanted to change the situation of the game, he had to solve the problem through timeouts and substitutions.

However, the excellent performance of Paul and Griffin still made Ricard's adjustments all invalid.

Jamal Crawford and Courtney Lee are indeed more suitable for fast-paced games, but facing the devastation of Paul and Griffin, all they can do in a hurry is to hit the iron frequently, so that Paul and Griffin The halo shines even brighter!

An Jie played for 9 minutes in the first quarter, but even he himself found that he lost his patience and just wanted to catch up with the score quickly.

And the fast pace brought him nothing but high turnovers.

"Fuck it! A bunch of brats!" After the first quarter, Ricard slammed the tactical board to the ground.The swearing words he yelled out were also heard clearly by most of the fans in the audience.After believing it, Mr. David Stern's fine will definitely be indispensable.
20 to 33, only in the first quarter, the point difference between the two sides was pulled to 13 points.It's a pity that this time the Blazers are playing away, and their score is the previous one.
The atmosphere in Los Angeles is very happy, because the fans know that the Clippers will not continue to lose!
"Good job, let's continue to do this!" De Nagro looked at Ricard proudly, but this time, his heart was completely different from before the start of the game.

Aren't you good at it rookie coach, come on, let me see how you make a comeback!

　I didn't send it out for some reason, sorry for the late update
