The way of the center

Chapter 388 Unexpected Intense

Staples may have never been so down and out. The last time Anjie made the Los Angeles people so nervous was two years ago.But at that time, even though the Thunder and the Lakers reached the tiebreaker, all Los Angeles fans still firmly believed in their hearts that the Lakers would definitely advance to the Western Conference Finals!
But at this moment, when An Jie completed a 20-point comeback in front of these guys, the Los Angeles fans lost confidence in their hearts.

3 to 0, in the history of the NBA, no team has ever completed the legend of being 3 to 0 behind in the playoffs and reversing.However, the Los Angeles Clippers must perform a miracle to advance to the second round.It's a pity that even the supporters of the Clippers don't think that Chris Paul and Griffin will be the ones who can create miracles.

Blake Griffin and Chris Paul stayed on the court after the game, just gawking at the Blazers celebrating on their turf at Staples.

The contest between the two sides is indeed not over yet, but the Clippers must win 4 games in a row to have a chance of advancing.For the Clippers, who have lost to the Blazers three times in a row, this is simply an impossible task.

Although I don't want to admit it, Griffin and Chris Paul have to face the fact that their playoff journey is almost at the end
Anjie, the name Blake Griffin will never forget in his life.When he was still a rookie, An Jie was the tall figure in front of him.This back view is like what Jordan was to Kobe back then, and Olajuwon was to O'Neal.

In Griffin's view, Anjie is so untouchable, but it is also a mountain that he must climb.As long as An Jie is still in the West, Griffin will inevitably meet him again.If he can't overcome the trouble that Anjie brought to him, then the Clippers and his career will not achieve breakthrough results.

"It's just that I played two years longer than me." Griffin clenched his fists, he was unwilling to be defeated by Anjie like this.But the score of 3 to 0 was put on the table bloody.

Maybe, maybe years later, Griffin and the Clippers will be able to beat Ainger.But at least for now, An Jie has decided on this series!
"The series has ended early." Wu Hua looked at Griffin and Paul who were depressed on the field. The fighting spirit of these two guys had been exhausted.A team has given up even its leading star, so what else can this team rely on to make a comeback?
Wu Hua hurriedly raised the camera, and fixed the downcast expressions of Paul and Griffin in the photo.Another formidable opponent was defeated by An Jie.As a result, An Jie's career has become brighter and brighter.

"This game is simply a demonstration for the entire league by coach George Ricard and An! Small lineups and running and bombing, stop and stop. Steady and steady battles are the truth of victory!" After the game, NBA legendary center "Gorilla" Patrick Ewing also tweeted on the Internet, expressing his views on the game.

"Gorilla" Ewing can be called a textbook for the position of the center, because among the four major centers of the year, Olajuwon's footsteps cannot be learned by ordinary people.Only a big man like An Jie, who has both the basic skills of flexibility, coordination and soft touch, can really learn the essence.David Robinson is completely an atypical center with a face-to-face flow, O'Neal?Not to mention, there is simply no one else who can play like him.Only Patrick Ewing, who seems to have the least distinctive features, can be called the textbook of a center forward.Because his characteristics are exactly what a traditional center should have, not as unconventional as the other three.

Therefore, the words that come out of this guy's mouth, and the words about the league's style of play, definitely carry a lot of weight!

As soon as Ewing's tweet was sent out, it was frantically reposted by fans all over the world.Of course, his remarks also triggered a big debate between two groups of fans on the Internet.

Some people think that Ewing is right, the traditional style of play is the only way to win.Some fans believe that basketball is also a sport that must continue to evolve and develop. Nowadays, the trend that can make a team better is small lineup and fast pace.They threatened that the old-fashioned ideas held by Ewing, An Jie and others were destined to be defeated by the brand-new basketball model.

Ewing may not have thought that a tweet he sent casually would cause such an uproar.

But that's good too, Ewing's attention has soared again.For the NBA, it is also a good thing that the game between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers has attracted much attention.

Therefore, even though the outcome has been decided, the number of fans paying attention to the fourth game between the Trail Blazers and Clippers is still very large.

Of course, the number of Los Angeles fans who came to Staples to watch the game that day was far less than the previous three games.However, more neutral fans decided to watch the game on TV or the Internet in order to see how the Blazers in Ewing's mouth were playing.

And An Jie and Paul will also launch a decisive battle that may be the last fight under the high expectations of the public!

"I said, our goal is to take away the victory from Los Angeles! Don't worry, you don't have to save the victory to Portland. The Portland fans definitely hope to see you advance now! The Clippers have only the last In one breath, crush them!" Before the game, George Ricard yelled passionately, mobilizing the positive emotions of the Blazers players to the peak.The Clippers fans who heard all this did not react to it as before.

What else can they do?Seeing that the Clippers are about to fall, they are still arguing with Ricard, isn't that just asking for fun.

The Trail Blazers are imposing, but around the bench of the Clippers, who are playing at home, there is a pool of stagnant water.

Before, Pooh de Nagro racked his brains, but only brought the Clippers a halftime victory.

Blake Griffin and Chris Paul tried their best, but they couldn't completely penetrate the Blazers' defense.

After working hard, you find that you are still powerless. This is the most demoralizing thing.Therefore, the mood of the Clippers in this game is not high.

"A bunch of fucking cowards!" Just as the game was about to start and the Clippers starters were about to enter the field, there was a burst of curses from the bench behind Paul and the others.

Everyone turned their heads and found that Kenyon Martin, the oldest and most experienced power forward in the Clippers team, was the culprit behind those words.

"Yes, we are very likely to be eliminated. There is no way, who made us fail to withstand the pressure in the first three games? But it would be too cheap to give up now, the group of crazy boys on the opposite side!" Ken Jan Martin became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing a finger at the Trail Blazers bench on the other side of the court.

"Look at the guys who came here to watch the game today, look at them! Do you think they don't know that we are going to be out? But this group of people, still facing huge traffic and even financial pressure, bought tickets to watch our game. And all of you, are you going to use this state to deal with them?" Immediately afterwards, Kenyon Martin pointed to the auditorium behind him.

"Even if we really want to be out, we have to do our best to dedicate a victory to the fans who are watching here! The Trail Blazers thought they had won, and we reminded them with a fierce offense. It's just the fourth game out of seven games!" Kenyon Martin shook his fist vigorously after speaking, he didn't really want to encourage the Clippers to win, but he really couldn't stand this team atmosphere.

After hearing this, the starters of the Clippers turned around and walked onto the court without saying anything.But the hearts of this group of men were actually shocked by Kenyon Martin's words just now.

Yes, maybe the Clippers cannot make up for the huge disadvantage of being behind 3-0.But it's not impossible for them to deliver a victory to the Los Angeles fans!
What a damn positional warfare and fast pace, what a damn small ball era and the impact of traditional concepts.Even Patrick Ewing, who had retired for many years, wanted to join in the fun.

Fuck, did you make a mistake.This is the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the fourth matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers!
Those messy things are all fucking nonsense!The Los Angeles Clippers are not out yet!
"LaMarcus." Seeing the Clippers' starting five aggressively walking onto the court, Anjie couldn't help shouting Aldridge's name.

"What's the matter, Ann?" Aldridge followed An Jie's line of sight, and naturally noticed the changes in the Clippers players.

"This game may be more difficult than we imagined. If we want to win in Los Angeles, we have to work hard." An Jie knew what the eyes of the Clippers players meant.The last step in the first round of the series is destined to be very difficult.

No one can reach the top of the mountain in one step, even if the Trail Blazers are not far from the top of the mountain now.But in the last journey, the Blazers have to put in the same effort as before.
