The way of the center

Chapter 451 is in the limelight
The crazy momentum of the Trail Blazers made them the hottest team at the beginning of the 12-13 season.

As long as you enter the three letters of NBA in the search engine, news related to the Trail Blazers will definitely pop up.Even the Big Three in Miami, which won the championship last year, are not so hot.

Five consecutive victories, and the points difference in each game is in double digits.The labels of super rookie, super center, and crazy coach all make the Trail Blazers too legendary.

From being questioned before the start of the season to now convincing experts from all walks of life, the Trail Blazers did this in only 5 games, less than half a month.

Of course, no team in this world can be invincible, even the crazy Trail Blazers can't do this.

In a game on November 11, the madness of the Trail Blazers was finally blocked by the away game of the Spurs.

If you don't watch the game process and take the lead in taking out the personal data of the Trail Blazers players, you may not believe that they will lose even if you kill them.Anjie scored 33 points and 13 rebounds, followed by Aldridge and scored 29 points, Damian Lillard scored 20 points again, Iguodala scored 13 points, and Batum scored 14 points.It is absolutely fantastic for a team's players to score such a set of statistics.And in this game, the Trail Blazers turned this dream into reality.

It's a pity that the San Antonio Spurs used an even more magical performance to deprive the Trail Blazers of a chance for a perfect victory.

Popovich implemented the concept of team basketball to the limit in this game, and the state of the Spurs players is also extremely hot.

Due to the injury of Tony Parker, Gary Neal was the player mentioned by Popovich as the starting No. [-] player in this game.

Almost everyone is not optimistic that this undrafted player can handle the Spurs' offense well, but he not only handles it well, but also handles it very well!

With 27 points and 7 assists, Lillard and everyone else on the Trail Blazers never expected Gary Neal, an unknown guy, to score such exaggerated statistics!In addition, the two old guys on the Spurs bench, "Demon Sword" Ginobili and Steve Jackson also inexplicably "cheat corpses." Ginobili scored 17 points, Jackson 13 points, the two combined Contributed 30 points for the Spurs.

Of course, the 22 points scored by that old monster of Duncan and the 10 points scored by Leonard and Danny Green each eventually defeated the Blazers who performed extremely well.

The game has been played very intensely. At the last moment, Jackson relied on his own anger and experience to make a foul on Anjie.Because of these two free throws, the Spurs widened the point difference to 3 points.And Wesley Matthews missed a three-pointer at the last moment, which finally allowed the Spurs to take away the victory.

The Spurs shot an exaggerated 57% in this game. It can be said that the Trail Blazers played their normal level today, while a strong team like the Spurs rarely performed exceptionally.

It is precisely because of this magical performance of the Spurs that the crazy momentum of the Trail Blazers can be contained.Otherwise, God knows that the Trail Blazers can win a few more games in a row.

Even after losing the ball, the outside world's evaluation of the Trail Blazers remains high.After all, you can't rely on the miracle of extraordinary performance to defeat the Blazers every time. The performance of the Blazers is obvious to all, and everyone is still optimistic about the prospects of this Western Conference team.

The Trail Blazers are on fire, and An Jie, who is the head star of the Trail Blazers, also has to pay attention.In recent days, words of praise about An Jie have been everywhere.People say that this more mature and comprehensive center is finally about to usher in his peak period.

The reporters not only found An Jie himself, but also the people around An Jie were dug out one by one by the reporters.If you want to hype a superstar, you must let the world know him from all aspects.And the evaluation of him by the people around him is an all-round evaluation.Therefore, in the past few days, many people have received interview invitations from reporters, and the questions they get are all: "What do you think of An Jie?"

"Ann is our MVP, there is no doubt about it." When reporters interview Iguodala about his new teammates, he often responds to reporters with this sentence.

"His defensive speed, sense of position in the penalty area, and tough style allow us to rest assured to give him the back during the game. And An is a big guy with a high emotional intelligence. He laughed and laughed with us in the locker room. He would yell loudly when the team was bored, and of course, he would also incite the fans and morale with his exaggerated defense and powerful dunks." Iguodala's subsequent additions were also highly praised for Anjie.

"Perhaps in a few decades, American center seedlings will raise their hands to the coach and ask questions." What is high position support? "If the coach is too lazy to talk, he can just throw him a game video of Anjie and answer. This is the best example of high-level support!" Divac smiled and answered the reporters who came to interview. This time, the old devil Finally, I can announce in a high profile that I have someone following up.

"Every time I comment on Anjie's game, it always gives me a feeling of going back in time. His style of play is too classical, almost out of touch with this era. His footsteps in low post singles have the style of Olajuwon back then. The lethality of the frame test step combined with the mid-range jumper is also amazing. Of course, if anyone says that An Jie is a soft guy, then he will definitely be deprived of his psychological shadow. In terms of inside offensive skills alone, An Jie is definitely the first in the league! If you ask me, he is simply a living fossil of a traditional center!" After O'Neal retired, he made fun of many people and gave extremely low evaluations to many outstanding players.But An Jie is an exception.He admires An Jie, and he is even one of An Jie's fans.

"If talent determines the lower limit, and hard work determines the upper limit, Anjie is the kind of person who uses hard work to push himself to the upper limit. Even though the 2008 draft conference is recognized as a young man, I still decided to recruit Anjie. To be honest, my highest expectation for Anjie at that time was to become a qualified starter, and he had to work hard. The result? You have all seen the result.” Even Anjie’s former general manager, Press Dee could not escape the "claws" of reporters.But this guy didn't deny An Jie's excellence because of An Jie's departure.

In the past few days, high-level comments about Anjie have bombarded the sports circle.Under this halo, the Blazers defeated the Eagles at home.Although the Eagles have Al Horford, an equally excellent insider, he still has a long way to go to stop An Jie.

An Jie scored a large double-double of 26 points and 15 rebounds in this campaign, which also allowed him to take himself to a higher position when he was in the limelight.

As a result, the reporters were no longer satisfied with interviewing the people around An Jie.An Jie's fellow countryman, An Jie's former college classmate and even An Jie's opponent were also pestered by the reporters asking questions non-stop.

A big, strong black man walked out of the locker room, his expression was very fierce, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

A thin reporter wearing glasses walked into the player tunnel. He hoped to meet that guy, because he heard that as long as he did news about An Jie, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

The big black man met this frail reporter at the corner of the player tunnel. The two of them looked at each other. The big black man didn't intend to pay attention to him, and continued to walk towards the parking lot on his own.

"DeMarcus, can I bother you?" Seeing that the opportunity was about to slip away from him, the reporter tremblingly extended an invitation to the big black man.

Cousins ​​is impatient, but he's trying to keep his temper under control.Just now, he quarreled with the head coach again.The reason is that that guy actually said that he played too recklessly in the last game.What a joke, if it weren't for him, that guy Howard would have upset the Kings inside.

No way, Cousins, a guy who would quarrel with the head coach just a few days after he entered the league, this kind of thing is simply commonplace for him.But in order to control himself, he suppressed his anger and answered the reporter's request: "Okay, what do you want to ask?"

"In the next game, the Kings will face the Trail Blazers at home. You must be very excited to play against a great center like Anjie." The frail reporter saw that Cousins ​​agreed to himself, and his heart couldn't express his excitement.He quickly threw out his own question, waiting to record Cousins' praise for Angie.Any questions?Well, that's what other journalists do.

"You fucking say it again?" Cousins' slightly relaxed expression just now became fierce again.

"I mean, you to Ann."

"Fuck Ann! You only have that yellow guy in your eyes, right!? Even if I lead the Kings to victory, even if I beat one opponent after another, you only know that yellow guy, right? You are all the same, just like those old men who instructed me how to play! I tell you! An idiot, I will beat you to nothing in the next game!" Cousins ​​raised his fist in a positive manner, Pausing in the air for a second, he left the reporter and continued towards the parking lot.

"Fucking great center!" Cousins ​​was still muttering as he left.

The frail reporter thought he couldn't escape that punch, and it would definitely be uncomfortable to be punched in the head by a big guy like Cousins.But when he opened his eyes, Cousins ​​was gone.

The reporter looked at the notebook he was holding in his hands, only to realize that his palms were covered in sweat.Although the interview was not a success, what Cousins ​​said just now seems to be even more exciting!
Sure enough, a guy like Cousins ​​who speaks straight and doesn't think through his brain is really worth a try.
