The way of the center

Chapter 389
In this game, fans watching the game in front of the TV will not hear the voices of Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith, and on ESPN, Mike Breen will not comment on this "winner" Negative is decided" duel.

Everyone didn't pay enough attention to this game.Each TV station even allocated their ace commentators to other shows.Even those neutral fans who come here just to see how the Blazers are playing, and don't care about their opponent, the Los Angeles Clippers.

This is the first time that a team from the Los Angeles playoffs has been underestimated by the whole world!

There is no way, a core point guard who played poorly in the playoffs, a three-point shooter with limited ability, an outdated championship hero, a pair of dare to fight, can jump and jump, but have no experience and excellent skills Insider.This is all De Nagro has.And relying on these alone, it is definitely impossible to defeat the pioneers who are currently in the limelight.

This team, which hadn't made the playoffs in six years, faced the worst opponent everyone wanted to avoid when it re-entered the playoffs.

But as Kenyon Martin said, these are no excuses for them to surrender!Don't look at Kenyon. Martin can't get any good-looking statistics now, but I have to admit that in the entire Clippers team, except for Paul, the 35-year-old Kenyon. Martin is the most willing to fight!So when he said those words, no one was qualified to refute, because Martin himself did a very good job!

Thus, the final battle of the Clippers began.

Chris Paul tried his best to push the pace and strengthen the aggressiveness of the penalty area.Doing so not only made Aldridge turn back prematurely, but also threatened the Trail Blazers to defend him, and he was able to complete the ball more calmly.

Perhaps influenced by Kenyon Martin's words, Caron Butler performed very well in this game.

As a main player who only won the championship last season, Butler doesn't want to hear others say that he won the O'Brien Cup because of Nowitzki.

Today, he used practical actions to prove that the only championship trophy in the history of the Mavericks team cannot be won without him!
Butler's three-pointer made Gerald Wallace ashamed. Throughout the series, Wallace did not have much pressure.On the offensive end, he was Ricard's last choice. On the defensive end, facing this tepid Butler, Wallace didn't make much effort.

But today, Wallace finally realized that what he was facing was a championship puzzle!Moreover, it is the indispensable piece of the puzzle in the middle.

In the first quarter, Paul and Butler can be said to have bombarded the Trail Blazers indiscriminately at halftime.Excited Los Angeles fans looked up at the big screen, only to find that the point difference was not widened too much!

Of course, as long as Anjie is there, the Clippers will not be able to widen the gap!

If the sudden rise of the Clippers surprised the Los Angeles fans, then the reason why Anjie was able to help the team win the score unknowingly is because of his excellence, which has made the fans a habit!

Anjie played well, and it should be taken for granted.He didn't play well, which should be surprising.

He is still organizing and scoring in the low post as always.Blocks shots on the defensive end and interferes in the paint.Everything An Jie did today was no different from before.But it is Anjie like this that can make the Trail Blazers play their best energy.

Now that Aldridge is off the court because of two premature fouls, Anjie has more right to fire on the offensive end!

DeAndre Jordan can't guard Anjie, this is the conclusion that can be drawn after the first game of the series.In just a few days, it is impossible for Jordan to suddenly have the ability to strangle An Jie.Therefore, while the Clippers' offense was going smoothly, Anjie also silently filled the gap in the other half.

Therefore, when Paul and Butler were out of breath, they were disappointed to find that the Clippers only led by 3 points.

Afterwards, the excellent performances of Mo Williams and Nick Young on the Clippers' bench made the score at the end of the first quarter a little better.

21 to 27, the Clippers, who were about to give up the game, played a respectable first quarter!The high-spirited opponent also made An Jie very interested.

"This is the playoffs, gentlemen. The playoffs are not about playing casually. The opponent will hand over the victory! To win, you have to win by yourself! The opponent will not send you to the second round in vain Yes!" Ricard could tell that the Blazers, except for Anjie, were more or less lax.He had to remind this group of guys that the Trail Blazers hadn't advanced yet!

So in the second quarter, with the help of Anjie, the Trail Blazers slowed down the pace, and the Clippers fell into the quagmire of offense and defense at halftime.

Blake Griffin is still facing An Jie, but he can't get scoring opportunities in sports. Griffin's limited technical level will make him appear powerless on the offensive end.

Turning around and breaking through, Griffin may be able to use his speed and strong body to hold Anjie to the basket.But Anjie's interference behind Griffin also made Griffin very uncomfortable.

After breaking through Anjie again, Griffin intends to force a dunk.And the result of this is that An Jie once again staged an earth-shattering big hat!
Even so, Griffin is still a lot more daring than before.It's just that compared to the sports combat and positional warfare that I am good at, it still tortures Griffin quite a lot.

What about Chris Paul?This guy finally showed the courage that the first point guard should have today.Three-pointers, mid-range shots, kills, and points, Paul is omnipotent.If it weren't for Anjie's defense being so active, Chris Paul might have played a great game.

Facing the fierce offensive of the Clippers, An Jie still took his time and played according to his own rhythm.He knew that the reason why they were able to complete a 20-point comeback in the last game was stability!

At the end of the halftime game, 45 to 49, the point difference has never been really widened. The fierce game made the fans hooked.

"Today, the Clippers really look like a playoff-level team." Even many TV commentators expressed affirmation of the Clippers' performance with such words.Of course, another meaning of this sentence is that the Clippers played unsightly in the previous games!

After the game, the two sides remained fierce.Aldridge and Angie's small-scale cooperation, Paul and Griffin's good pick-and-roll cuts.Anjie's top of the arc is neutral, and Paul's breakthrough points the ball.Felton's tacit second pass, Randy Foye's fatal three-pointer.

The game was ups and downs, and the two sides took the lead alternately.And the shouts of Staples are even higher than the waves.As for those neutral fans, they are very glad that they actually saw such a wonderful game.

"Charles, Charles!" Seeing that Barkley hadn't spoken for most of the day, Kenny Smith elbowed his partner during the commercial break.

"What are you doing? You haven't said a word for a long time!" Smith didn't want Barkley to ruin the reputation of T and NT.

"Shh, don't make noise, give me the last minute, the Clippers and the Trail Blazers will decide the winner." Barkley's eyes were fixed on the tablet, ignoring Kenny Smith and O'Neal at all. Not caring about the other game he was calling.

Indeed, until the last minute of this wonderful game, there was no winner.And the last moment is always the climax of this anxious game.

Now the Blazers are the first to attack, and the Los Angeles Clippers are taking the lead.The Clippers lead by three points. As long as they play well in the last minute, the long-cherished wish of the Clippers players will be fulfilled.

Felton's breathless possession of the ball advanced, compared with Crawford, who was more capable but also more impatient at the last moment, Ricard still chose to trust Raymond Felton, an experienced organization By.

An Jie also knew that the life of the Trail Blazers was hanging by a thread, so he didn't say too much, but leaned directly on Jordan, opened his big hands, and prepared to fight in the low post.

Seeing that Anjie was about to come by himself, Aldridge also vacated the three-second zone as much as possible.Griffin really wants to give Anjie a good look on the defensive end, but if he leaves Aldridge alone, it's not much different from emptying the basket.The second leader of the Trail Blazers, who has accurate shots, feels very hot today.

An Jie didn't adjust after getting the ball, and didn't give Jr. Jordan time to prepare, so he hit hard and started digging towards the basket!
Jordan was forced to take a big step back because of his lack of preparation.Since An Jie's position for receiving the ball is relatively deep, this big step also directly brought An Jie into the three-second zone.

It's a good thing, otherwise An Jie might not be able to shake the well-prepared Jordan.After rejoicing, An Jie started holding the ball and shaking his shoulders, and started his next plan.

Little Jordan became nervous and shook his shoulders. This has become An Jie's trump card to defeat countless star insiders.This action, which was personally guided by Olajuwon and Kobe, naturally allowed Anjie to use it to kill the Quartet.

Following An Jie's swaying shoulders, Jordan was also predicting the direction of An Jie's shot.Suddenly!An Jie raised the basketball with his right hand, ready to hook!

"Spot on it!" This time, Little Jordan predicted the right direction, and he jumped with all his strength, preparing to use a block to end An Jie's best attack!
But after the jump, Little Jordan found that there was no remorse or panic on An Jie's face, as if all of this was still in An Jie's plan.

In the next second, the shot that DeAndre Jordan was about to block suddenly disappeared.An Jie tricked Jordan and then turned around on the spot and stepped forward, preparing to end the attack with an easy basket.

At this time, Jordan has also landed.But he didn't intend to let Anjie score the ball just like that.With abnormal physical fitness, he just took off for the second time in a short time and rushed towards An Jie.

An Jie's pick narrowly escaped Jordan's block, but An Jie himself was not spared.

He was knocked out of bounds, and the referee did not hesitate to call Jordan a personal foul.The most terrible thing is that the basketball that An Jie picked out was hollowed into the net.

"Shaking shoulders and dreamy dance steps! What else? What else can't An Jie do!?"

Jordan angrily asked the referee to argue, but Paul stopped him in time.Although he was the opponent, Paul had to admit that Anjie played the ball beautifully just now!For this ball, Jordan didn't have the capital to fight the referee.

Anjie's free throws are as precise as clockwork. You rarely see him miss, and even if he does, it can't be now.

99 to 99, An Jie used one attack to bring the two sides back to the same starting line again.

After that, Chris Paul intends to use his quick breakthrough layup to score, no matter how bad it is, he can also cause a foul by Anjie or Aldridge.

During the layup, Paul deliberately leaned towards An Jie, but what was chilling was that the referee didn't blow his whistle!
Anjie's timing of blocking the shot was perfect. Paul tried to draw a foul, but the referee didn't dare to blow it.When he blew it, he changed the situation of the game.An Jie, who moved cleanly, was approved by the referee.

"Block! Chris Paul's last shot was blocked by Angie. Gerald Wallace's fast break! This guy seems to have disappeared for the entire series, but now, he has the entire series in his hands The most important attack of the game! Tomahawk smash! Gerald! Wallace! He did it! He escaped Griffin's chase, Gerald Wallace's ball was worth it Pass other people's five goals!" Ke Fan's passionate commentary in the Sina live broadcast room spread to the ears of countless Chinese fans.

As Gerald Wallace dunked the ball in, countless Chinese fans also raised their arms. Although they were not at the scene, they still couldn't restrain their excitement at this scene.

101 to 99, the time left for the Clippers is only 2.6 seconds. At this moment, in the hands of De Nagro, there is no timeout.

Paul's last desperate long shot in the backcourt made a direct shot.He knew that this time, the three non-sticks meant that the 11-12 season of the Clippers was all over!
Although the Clippers played exceptionally well in this game, the final winner was no different from before.

A victory for Los Angeles fans?Well, that reason is indeed noble enough.It's just very embarrassing, before the victory and negative, An Jie will indeed be unreasonable!

Los Angeles fans, yes, what's the matter with Anjie?

With a total score of 4 to 0, Anjie and the Blazers ended their first round of competition with a sweeping gesture!

Their strong performance convinced the proud Los Angeles people to lose.

The Clippers failed to cross the lake in the end and sank into the sea.The Blazers will continue to expand their territory on the playoffs map.
