The way of the center

Chapter 652 Dessert
Dallas, located in the state of Texas, is the largest city in the state and the ninth largest city in the United States.

As a super city, Dallas sports are naturally very developed.The Dallas Cowboys of the American Football League, the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League, the Texas Rangers of the Major League Baseball and the FC Dallas of the Major League Soccer are all indispensable and important forces in each league.The footsteps of the city of Dallas have appeared in all major leagues, and their professionalism in sports is very high.

Of course, among the ranks of Dallas professional sports teams, the most familiar to Chinese fans is undoubtedly the Dallas Mavericks affiliated to the NBA.

As a team that has just won a championship in five years, the heat of the Mavericks has always been very high.What's more, Mavericks owner Cuban is still a person who is very good at using the media and making news.

Therefore, even though the Mavericks can only struggle in the seventh and eighth positions so far this season, and are even in danger of falling out of the playoffs, they are still one of the most watched teams.

With these conditions, coupled with the superstar effect of German Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks have successfully integrated with international standards, and their popularity in Europe has exploded.

No, in today's game, the Dallas Mavericks will be able to get the national live broadcast treatment at home.You know, teams ranked like the Mavericks usually don't have so many live broadcasts across the United States.But it is precisely because they are called the Dallas Mavericks that they are different.

Although he got another chance to show himself in front of fans all over the world, the atmosphere in the Mavericks locker room was somewhat dignified.

Because the other team involved in this game, the Portland Trail Blazers, is definitely one of the worst opponents.

Rick Carlisle is very troubled right now. The Mavericks are ranked so high that they have to seize every opportunity to win every game. Even if the opponent is number one in the league or the defending champion, they must fight to the end. .

But the Mavericks' inside lineup this season can be described as quite embarrassing. Dalembert, a veteran who entered the league in 01, is now the only starting center for the Mavericks.

You know, Anjie's first NBA game was against the 76ers in the preseason. At that time, the 76ers' starting center was Dalembert.

At that time, An Jie, who had just graduated from college, was beyond Dalembert's ability to cope.Now, the gap between the two is even greater.

This is exactly why Claire is worried. Dalembert has no threat at all in front of Anjie. In other words, the Mavericks have no restrictions on the double MVP with half an hour before the start of the game. Methods.

The other bad news was that yesterday, the Blazers officially announced that Aldridge would return in today's game.

Aldridge back, this is undoubtedly a double blow to the Mavericks.Hopefully, Aldridge, who has just returned from injury, will be affected.

Claire, who was devastated, couldn't help looking at Nowitzki, who was also an international player. The only person he could look up to was the German.

It's not that Nowitzki can limit Anjie on the defensive end, but that Nowitzki can recover the lost points.

"Dirk." Claire stood up suddenly and called Nowitzki's name.

"What's the matter, boss."

"Let go and fight!"

"Hey, I will!"

※※※

"How do you feel, come back to the game." Anjie stood with Aldridge with his hips akimbo.

Aldridge closed his eyes, enjoying the sound of shouts passing by him.

"Great!" Aldridge opened his eyes suddenly and replied energetically.

"Ann, LaMarcus, come here!" At this moment, Divac's shout interrupted the conversation between the two. The game was about to start, and Divac wanted to gather everyone for the final deployment.

When An Jie saw Dalembert standing in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.Time really flies by without paying attention.

The image of him facing Dalembert in the NBA for the first time seems to be still vivid in his mind, but in fact, it was already six years ago.

"How are you doing recently?" Unexpectedly, An Jie didn't talk trash at his opponent, and even Dalembert still didn't react.

"It's so-so." Dalembert and Anjie didn't have much interaction, so his answer was a bit blunt.

"So-so, isn't it good?" As soon as An Jie finished speaking, the referee blew his own whistle.At the same time, the basketball jumped into the air, and Dalembert, who had no advantage in height and jumping, was defeated without any suspense.The Trail Blazers won the first attack at the home court of the Mavericks!
In this game, although Divac and Ricard agreed to Aldridge's comeback request, they did not let him start.

Therefore, at the moment, it is still Robin Lopez who is wearing the iconic explosive head on the field and partnering with Anjie inside.

Claire's heart has eased a little, and Aldridge is not allowed to start directly. Does it mean that Aldridge's state and body have not yet met expectations?
But before Claire was lucky, the Trail Blazers scored.

"What!?" The Trail Blazers scored so fast for the first time that Claire, who was just distracted, couldn't see clearly.

The guy couldn't help standing up from the bench and staring up at the big screen.

The big screen began to return to the scene of the Trail Blazers scoring just now. Lillard just dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, and Anjie had already settled in the deep low post.

No matter how Dalembert pushed, Anjie remained motionless.Lillard hurriedly passed the ball, for fear that such a good position would disappear in an instant.

In the end, when Anjie received the basketball, Dalembert still failed to push Anjie out.

After receiving the ball, An Jie jumped directly on one foot, raised the basketball high with his right hand, and flicked his wrist.

The ball passed Dalembert's fingers and fell firmly into the net.An easy hook, that's all.This also indicates that it is so easy for Anjie to beat Durham Bott!

"It's okay Samuel, we'll just call back!" Nowitzki patted Dalembert on the shoulder. He didn't want Dalembert to feel too much guilt and guilt.

Nowitzki understands Dalembert's conceded goal, even if Dalembert let Angie score more than [-] points today.After all, it is indeed too reluctant to let a mediocre veteran defend the strongest player in the league.

But as Nowitzki said, the Mavericks quickly responded on the offensive end.It's just that the person who responded was not Nowitzki, but Monta Ellis, who drove high and low this season.

At the beginning of this season, Ellis played smoothly in the Mavericks, and that old habit of extremely selfishness seems to have subsided a lot.The humble Nowitzki even personally told the media that the core of the Mavericks is Ellis, and he is willing to take the second place.

You know, not all team cores are willing to give up their positions.More reasonable, Nowitzki said this in front of the media.

Ellis did have a perfect honeymoon period with the Mavericks, but after the honeymoon period, Ellis seemed to become irritable again, becoming more and more like before.

It wasn't until the end that the people of Dallas found out.There is only one core in this city, and his name is Nowitzki.

Although inconsistent, Ellis can occasionally break out for a play or two.That beautiful emergency stop jumper just now also gave the Mavericks fans and Claire a certain amount of confidence.If Ellis breaks out, the Mavericks might really be able to wrestle with the Blazers.

2 to 2 tie, the two sides continue to fight.

An Jie was still killing all sides in the paint, but on the side of the Mavericks, everyone played surprisingly hard.

Most of the first quarter was played, but the scores of the two sides were still tight.Divac couldn't help but look at the game time on the big screen, and it was time for some fresh blood to play.

The former Kings center walked directly in front of Aldridge, and Aldridge immediately got up and took off his training clothes in just three seconds.

The lens of the camera also temporarily left the stadium, aiming at the No. [-] Trail Blazers star who is about to play after returning from injury.

"At your command! Vlad!" Aldridge was eager to try.

"After the dead ball, you go out and replace Robin. Hey, open the score for me, okay?"

"It's on me!" Aldridge replied affirmatively.

On the court, Anjie and Lillard completed a pick-and-roll cooperation.After Lillard broke through, Anjie also quickly went down.Dalembert, who was walking slowly, had no choice but to follow Anjie's ass.

An Jie received Lillard's pass, and seeing that Dalembert hadn't caught up with him, An Jie's legs suddenly used force to make him jump high.

Unexpectedly, Nowitzki, who had been guarding next to Robin, suddenly rushed over.This guy may feel that he has to do something.

However, Nowitzki is not a shot blocker.His brave interception only earned him a foul.

Aldridge excitedly walked to the technical stage. An Jie wanted to make a free throw, which meant that he was going to play too!

In the first free throw, An Jie made the free throw despite the boos of the fans.

At this time, the game was dead, and the players on both sides began to rotate.

Aldridge and Robin clapped hands. He looked at the basketball court. His mother must be watching him on TV!
"I'll make you proud of me, mother!" Aldridge drew a cross on his chest, and stepped onto the field in a hurry!

What about Anjie?The guy looked at Aldridge on the field and had a smile on his face.

Because this tall No. 00 knew that everything just now was just an appetizer.Now, the good show is officially in Cairo!
