The way of the center

Chapter 439 Angry Viper
"Hello, Ann, I wish you good luck." Today, when Kobe and Anjie met, they were obviously not as enthusiastic as before. After a casual greeting, Kobe retreated to the Lakers' half court, and then said nothing more In a word.

Kobe is the kind of person who will completely write his emotions on his face. An Jie can see that Kobe's desire to win today is very strong.In the next game, Kobe will definitely fight for victory desperately.

It wasn't just himself who was affected by Kobe's emotions, Dwight Howard, who was usually sunny, was also putting on a face at the moment.In the past when Anjie and Howard played against each other, Howard would always make some harmless jokes with Anjie before the jump ball.But today, Howard just looked at An Jie blankly, as if An Jie was a complete stranger to him.

An Jie shook his head. Playing next to Kobe is indeed under tremendous pressure.If the pressure is appropriate, the Lakers may be able to play a better state.But if the pressure is too great, it will only crush the Lakers themselves to death!
"Are you ready? Gentlemen!" The referee shouted at Anjie and Howard, and the noisy shouting at the scene forced him to do so.

"OK." An Jie and Howard replied in unison.In the next second, the referee threw the basketball that represented the start of the new season into the air. Dwight Howard was a little impatient and jumped too early.When the basketball began to fall, Howard had already begun to fall.An Jie judged the timing correctly. Although he jumped back, he was the one who touched the basketball first.

"Ann won the first attack for the Trail Blazers! Audience friends, let us see what kind of surprise the Trail Blazers' first attack of the season can bring us!" Kenny Smith stared at the controller on the court. Ball's Damian Lillard, Ricard let the rookie start in his NBA debut.I don't know if this will be a good move or a dangerous one.

Amidst the shouts of more than 2 fans in the Rose Garden Stadium, Damian Lillard's steady possession of the ball slowly advanced.Many people thought that Lillard would launch a fierce attack the first second after taking the ball. After all, Nash's precarious defense was too "tempting".However, Lillard showed a calmness that did not match his rookie status. He just dribbled slowly and walked two steps beyond the three-point line, and then gestured to his teammates to start running.

As an older rookie, Lillard has been criticized by many for his ceiling not being too high.But the advantage of an older rookie is that he plays more calmly and calmly than those who only stayed in college for a year.

Lillard certainly wants to attack on his own, which is what he did in college.But Lillard knows that Anjie and Aldridge are the owners of this Trail Blazers team.Ricard told him to slow down and he slowed down.Ask him to assist the inside line, and he will assist the inside line.As a rookie player, you can only get more playing time if you are obedient.Get more playing time, you have a chance to flex your muscles.

Lillard understands the truth of this very well, so when Nash was nervously dealing with this another zero guard, Lillard suddenly passed the ball.

"Lillard, the point guard who puts scoring first, didn't try to break through. He passed the ball directly to Aldridge who ran to the mid-range position to meet him. Aldridge held the ball as a three-threat, plus Sol doesn't dare to act rashly at all!" Kenny Smith immediately interpreted the situation on the field.

Indeed, Gasol did not dare to act rashly.Aldridge's offensive level has been demonstrated to the fullest last season. This season, Aldridge must have improved a lot.

At this time, Iguodala, who had just joined the Trail Blazers but was very adaptable to tactics, and the "veteran" Matthews of the Trail Blazers began to cross positions near the baseline. The two guys cut inside at the same time, allowing Kobe And Howard got nervous.

However, the two of them just passed each other and nothing happened.Just then, Aldridge passed the ball over Gasol's head.The high-profile ball was firmly grasped by An Jie's outstretched hand. An Jie slammed the ball to the ground, then held the ball in both hands, stepped away, and was about to dunk directly!
Before Howard, who was distracted by Iguodala and Matthews, could react, Anjie had already soared into the air.

Howard hurriedly jumped up to stop Anjie's attack, but before Howard got up, Anjie's strong body had already bumped into him.

Thus, the scene that made the [-] fans in the audience boil like this happened.I saw that Howard had just jumped a few centimeters, and Anjie just finished a strong dunk through the monster with his hands raised high.

In this buckle, Anjie did not have the assistance of sprinting, nor did he have the assistance of exaggerated bounce.But he simply used strength in the air, and forcibly completed the dunk on Howard!
Howard was knocked back a few steps by Anjie. When the force disappeared, he only saw Anjie hanging on the basket with his teeth grinning, and the basketball had already leaked out of the net.

"Unbelievable dunk! Ann just used O'Neal to complete the goal! This guy, he completed a dunk on Dwight Howard!" Charles Barkley rarely made a surprised sound, But this time, even Barkley had to marvel at the brilliance of the ball.

"Actually, apart from Ann's final blow, the Trail Blazers' entire offense was completed beautifully. Lillard's steady organization, Iguodala and Matthews' tacit movement, Aldridge's good coping ability, They all laid the foundation for this wonderful goal." O'Neal saw a much wider picture than others, if Howard and Kobe were not confused by the running of the rest of the Trail Blazers, Anjie would not have been so calm Complete the action.

Everything is just as Ricard said, Anjie is playing more easily now than before!
The already aggrieved Lakers were humiliated by Anjie's arrogant scoring at the beginning of the game. Naturally, they would not let it go.

As soon as Nash dribbled the ball across half court and it didn't work, Kobe raised his hand for the ball.There is a rule in the Lakers, that is, no matter what tactics are played, as long as Kobe raises his hand and asks for the ball, he must give it.Therefore, before the ball in Nash's hands was warmed up, he had to throw the ball directly to Kobe.

As a second-round pick, Wesley Matthews' outstanding performance is naturally the same as Anjie's, which cannot be separated from hard training.This summer, Matthews did not waste his time.In training, his brilliant defense caught Ricard's eyes.It can be said that this guy is already an excellent perimeter defender.

But an angry Kobe is not so easy to be guarded.Kobe just swayed the ball twice, then pulled up against the defense and shot!
"Kobe shot straight away! Wesley Matthews sealed Kobe's face!" Kenny Smith was about to shake his head after speaking, but he saw the orange-red basketball falling straight into the net in a perfect arc!
"He got in! Oh my god, this is Kobe Bryant, this is how the Black Mamba solves problems!"

After the goal, Kobe raised his left hand high and showed three fingers.He stared at An Jie with resolute eyes, expressing his determination to fight bloody to the end!

"Wesley, today's game is hard for you." An Jie patted Matthews on the shoulder, expressing deep sympathy for the terrible situation that the shooting guard will encounter today.But at the same time, Anjie is also ready to respond to Kobe with another wonderful attack!

"First it was a powerful dunk, and then an unreasonable three-point long-range shot. Audience friends, the Blazers and the Lakers made us hooked with just two goals in the opening game. The game you are looking forward to, It seems that you will not be disappointed."

After the Trail Blazers' second offense, Anjie and Lillard completed a simple cooperation of scoring and hitting.The coordination is simple, but very effective.

Last season, Felton's unstable three-point shooting rate and low breakthrough ability prevented him from completing too much cooperation with Anjie.But after Lillard joined the team this season, Anjie can play many new tricks on the offensive end.

After receiving the ball from Angie again, Lillard directly passed Nash in one step.And when he passed Nash, the Lakers' lineup that had just shrunk because of Anjie's possession of the ball was not fully expanded.Taking advantage of the vacuum period of the Lakers' defensive formation transformation, Lillard made a sudden stop and made a jumper.At this time, none of the Lakers players can complete the defense in the middle distance.

"Swipe." A pleasant voice sounded, and Anjie turned back to the defense in satisfaction, and patted Lillard's head on the way.The Lakers played under tremendous pressure there, but the Trail Blazers were still relaxed and freehand.Even a rookie like Lillard, who is playing in the NBA for the first time, can score calmly.

Driven by Kobe, Dwight Howard also showed a strong aggressiveness.He used his body to force Anjie to advance more than once, and converted all shots that were not opportunities into points.

All kinds of unimaginable hooks, hitting boards, and projectiles.Howard tried his best and was sweating profusely before he was able to score on Anjie's head.

And what about Anjie?

This time the offensive Lillard finally showed his sharpness. He quickly moved forward after receiving the ball from the bottom line. Nash was thrown away by Lillard just after halftime!

Anjie stuck Howard, slowing down his defensive speed.At the same time, Lillard has reached the basket and is ready for a layup!

Just when Howard and Gasol both took off at the same time to stop the rookie, Lillard calmly made a point, allowing Iguodala, who had been waiting outside the three-point line on the wing, to get the ball.

Artest, who returned to the penalty area, no, he should be called Ci Shiping now, and he rushed out.But after this guy changed his name, neither his speed nor his explosive power could be compared with his own back then.

Iguodala easily got an open three-pointer, and the former 76ers star naturally didn't let this opportunity slip away in vain.Although not a pure three-point shooter, Iguodala's three-point shooting skills are still excellent.

Once again, the Blazers once again made it easy.The Lakers could hold on, but the price they paid to hold on to the score was several times higher than the Trail Blazers.

D'Antoni's tactics don't seem to work very well on F4. Most of the time, the stars of the Lakers are fighting alone.Finally, when both sides began to enter the rotation, the balance point that the Lakers were struggling to maintain was broken in one fell swoop!
The Lakers' starting lineup is luxurious, but their bench lineup is unsightly.On the other hand, the Trail Blazers, with the hard work of Olsi and Anjie over the summer, they not only built a strong starting lineup, but also formed a second team that is enough to take over the game.

Derek Fisher, as a meritorious veteran of the Lakers, will not be soft on his old club.He is well organized and deadly.

Courtney Lee and Batum can always get easy shots under the command of Fisher, while JJ Hickson and Meyers Leonard are two more mobile than Camby and Thomas Stronger blue-collar insiders.

Kobe gritted his teeth off the court, but there was no way, even Kobe had to rest.Watching his team being slaughtered on the field, Kobe really felt uncomfortable.

The first quarter of the game is coming to an end, but Kobe and the Lakers still haven't gotten rid of the passive state.The more this happened, the more Kobe wanted to win.The more Kobe wants to win, the more trouble Anjie and the others will have!

No matter how luxurious the Lakers F4 is, it is not as dangerous as an angry Kobe.
