The way of the center

Chapter 619 Just A Little Warm Up

Iowa State University is so horrible that it can breed a monster like Anjie?
Brian Shaw, who used to play with Kobe and O'Neal, really couldn't understand how Anjie managed to break out suddenly when he ran out of ammunition and food, and scored 3 points in 20 minutes to change the situation.

For the past 3 minutes, Brian Xiao simply couldn't describe it in words.Anjie completely dominated the game on both ends of the offense and defense. The Nuggets couldn't attack Anjie, and the defense couldn't pose any real threat to Anjie.

The sharks back then were also able to dominate the basket, but at least there was a shark-killing tactic that could slightly curb the big sharks' footsteps.

But now, this Anjie really has no dead ends on the offensive end.Even if he has been forced beyond the three-point line, Anjie can control the ball and break through like an outside player.

McGee, Hickson.Anthony Randolph, Farid, Mozgov, and Darrell Arthur, who eliminated Anjie in college, worked together, but they were defeated by Anjie alone.

Altitude sickness beat the Blazers, but couldn't beat Anjie!
When the Trail Blazers first-year rookie Allen Crabbe made a three-pointer at the buzzer, the game officially ended. 113 to 98, with Anjie scoring 3 points in the last 20 minutes, the Blazers went against the tide and settled the ambitious Nuggets at the Pepsi Center by 15 points.

Whether Brian Xiao is willing or not, his wheel battle has officially failed.Basketball is not a game that can be won with more players, especially for a person like An Jie, if you create more difficulties for him, he will play even more excitedly!

After the game, everyone in the Trail Blazers ran to hug An Jie.They all know that if it weren't for this yellow-skinned No. 00 in this game, the Nuggets would have dragged the Blazers down long ago.

But at the critical moment, the leader stood up.He endured all the discomfort and all the difficulties. Even though he was out of breath, An Jie persisted until the last moment.

"We all owe you, buddy!" Almost everyone who hugs Anjie will say such a sentence.

"No, this is a victory for all of us!" And An Jie still replied in the same old way.

Allen Crabbe was immediately conquered by Anjie's charisma and strength. No one is a natural leader. The reason why others are willing to listen to you is because your performance on the field is enough to convince everyone.

The role of the leading star was fully reflected at this moment. The poor Nuggets, their proud inner group, were still so vulnerable when they encountered a real top center.

"You're fucking cruel." There is only one Nuggets player left in the Pepsi Center, and that guy is JJ Hickson.

When other people rushed to hug An Jie just now, Hixon almost couldn't restrain the urge to join them.But when he looked down and saw the jersey he was wearing, he suddenly realized that he no longer belonged to that group. He was now a member of the Denver Nuggets and An Jie's opponent.

Helpless, Hickson had to stand on the spot with his hips akimbo, waiting for the players from his old club to finish celebrating.

After Hickson finished speaking, he opened his arms and walked towards An Jie. An Jie did not refuse, and embraced the hero who won the championship last year.

"I said Hixon, I won't let it go. I'm sorry, buddy, it seems that you have to wait until the next game to win your first victory." An Jie patted Hixon's shoulder with a smile, An Jie was still full of apologies for the buckle just now.

But all this pity and kindness only emerges after the game.On the court, you don't expect Anjie to be as nice as he is now.

"Okay, I wish you good luck this season, I think I have to go, after all, this is the stage for the winners." Seeing the crowd of reporters slowly coming up, Hixon immediately wanted to get out.

Otherwise, it must be quite embarrassing to be asked by a group of reporters later what it's like to lose to An Jie.

"Ann, how did you manage to do the magic in the last 3 minutes!?"

"I just want to win, that's all."

"Ann! Do you think the victory in this game is due to you alone?"

"My teammates are very good, I don't think I can win the game by myself."

An Jie's answer is very skillful, after all, this is An Jie's sixth season in the NBA.Dealing with such things as the media is simply familiar to him.

With 43 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks, Anjie's data is enough to make everyone in this league feel ashamed.But even so, An Jie himself was very indifferent.

To the outside world, Anjie's performance is indeed miraculous.But for An Jie himself, he already knew that he could change everything!
Brian Shaw, who hopes to get rid of the shadow of George Karl, is still anxious about his first win in his head coaching career, but Anjie has easily won his first consecutive victory this season. It's at your fingertips.

In the locker room, Anjie's teammates were still excited. He scored 3 points in 20 minutes, which was also talked about by his teammates.

"Don't worry, Ann, we won't let you stand alone in the next game!" Aldridge, who was wearing a suit, smiled at Anjie. In fact, Aldridge performed very well today. There are not many players who are not affected by altitude sickness.

But under Anjie's dazzling performance, Aldridge can only be seen as ordinary.

"Hey, if two people can score more than 20 in the next game, I'll treat the whole team to a meal!" An Jie took the opportunity to fan the flames and mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates.

"Then you are miserable, Ann!" Lillard jumped out at this time. He was seriously affected in this game, and he didn't want to be in a downturn for two consecutive games.Lillard desperately needs a beautiful victory to prove himself again, and Lillard plans to do so in the next game.

Tomorrow, November 11, US time, the Trail Blazers will face the Spurs at home back-to-back.The wonderful matchup between the two teams in the Western Conference Finals last season undoubtedly made them forge grievances.

This blockbuster matchup between the Western powerhouses has long been expected by fans for a long time, but neither the Spurs nor Popovich knew it.Before the game started, the Trail Blazers players had become quite bloodthirsty
※※※

Portland on the second day was very lively. Thanks to Anjie’s miraculous performance, he scored 3 points in 20 minutes and defeated the Dongfeng Nuggets. The battle between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers had already triggered The city's basketball craze.

"Anjie moment! 3 minutes and [-] minutes, the Nuggets collapsed!"

"Pepsi Center: The Butcher's New Playground!"

"At eight o'clock tonight, at the Moda Center, the San Antonio Spurs challenge the Trail Blazers away. Can Anjie's miraculous performance continue? We'll wait and see!"

All newspapers and periodicals published news related to An Jie.There are even several non-sports special reports that put Anjie on the cover.Because of this, it will definitely greatly stimulate the sales of newspapers.There's no way, Anjie's popularity in the city of Portland has reached this point.

Under the attention of such a large amount of traffic, the Blazers and Anjie did not disappoint the fans.

In the game that night, the passionate Blazers players played very hard.The Spurs, who had also won two consecutive victories before, were overwhelmed by the fully fired Blazers.

If only one Anjie broke out like in the last game, Popovich still has the confidence to stabilize the situation.But when everyone in the Trail Blazers gave it a go, the aging Spurs were a little overwhelmed.

"If two people can score more than 20 in the next game, I will treat the whole team to a meal!" The oath An Jie made in Denver last night, others will not forget it so quickly.

The rest of the Trail Blazers also want to prove that they can also contribute to this team!

In this way, Popovich roared all night on the sidelines of the Moda Center, but he still couldn't stop the Blazers' winning streak.

Lillard, Aldridge and Wesley Matthews took over the banner, they scored 25 points, 24 points and 20 points respectively.Such a collective explosive performance also caused the Spurs to lose 103 to 113 in the away game.

Anjie only scored 20 points and 10 rebounds in this campaign, but this was not because Anjie performed poorly, but because he left more opportunities for performance to his teammates who were eager to make a name for themselves.

The Spurs have to work harder if they want to get rid of the haze of last year's Western Conference Finals.For now, the Blazers still overwhelm the Spurs.

With three consecutive victories, the Blazers are still off to a perfect start.

On the second day, An Jie also kept his promise and asked the whole team including the trainers to have a meal in the restaurant.Everyone was talking and laughing at the dinner table, don't underestimate this scene, this kind of team atmosphere, but many NBA teams would not envy them.

With such momentum, the Blazers defeated the weak 76ers and the Kings who had Cousins ​​but were still unable to escape defeat in the next few days, and easily won the first five consecutive games since the beginning of the season. win!

Back then, five consecutive victories was an unimaginable number for An Jie.But now, the five-game winning streak is just a small warm-up for the Blazers.

The road to defending the title is not destined to be smooth, but Anjie and the Blazers will use their iron hooves to trample down all obstacles!
