The way of the center

Chapter 658 Rose of Portland
In the last 5 seconds of the game, the guy in the blue No. 30 jersey is handling the ball on the outside.

At this time, the Trail Blazers still lead by two points. If they want to win the game, they only need to defend the opponent's three-pointer.

It seems that the Warriors in the away game seem to have nothing to do.David Lee was even leaning on An Jie for the ball. According to his thinking, it was better to drag the game into overtime than to lose directly.

However, the number 30 wearing the away jersey ignored David Lee. He beckoned and called the No. 2005 pick in [-], seven-foot center Andrew Bogut, once the hope of the Bucks' revival.

At this time, there are 2.3 seconds left before the end of the game.As soon as Bogut's pick-and-roll arrived, No. 30 immediately used the pick-and-roll to get out of the way.

This guy plays very spiritually on the court. Although he is thin and thin, he still plays quite well by using the pick-and-roll to get rid of the defender.

Lillard failed to seal his matchup in time, but his active interference also forced the No. 30 to retreat to a big step beyond the three-point line.

With no time to hesitate, Warriors No. 30 pulled up and shot from one step beyond the three-point line.

"Win!" Lillard smiled. He shot a three-pointer from such a distance, and it was still a lore. He didn't believe that the baby-faced guy in front of him would have the ability to seal his throat with a sword.

However, An Jie, who was staring at the trajectory of the basketball's flight inside, felt a "thump" in his heart.

He is a master at judging the rebounding point. Usually, he can judge the position where the basketball may rebound based on the arc, direction and speed of the basketball's flight, as well as the rotation method.

Although not accurate every time, the hit rate is quite good.Anjie's average of 13.6 rebounds per game this season was not created out of thin air.

But for this ball, An Jie found that he couldn't judge the landing point.To be exact, the ball didn't hit the spot in his opinion, because basketball will definitely fall straight into the net!

"Swipe!" Sure enough, the basketball flew over from a big step beyond the three-point line, passed over everyone's heads, and entered the net hollowly!

"No!" The enthusiastic atmosphere in the Moda Center collapsed in an instant. A few seconds ago, they were leading by two points.But now, they have become the one behind.No, backward is not the exact word.Because the game time is over now, the Trail Blazers are not behind, but have already lost the game!
The thin No. 30 who hit the lore in front of Lillard jumped up happily, and after that, Klay Thompson rushed up to hug him.Then, Bogut, David Lee, Steve Blake.
An Jie looked at the killer who was supported by the Warriors players in disbelief. This guy's impression of An Jie was not like this before.

Thin, not good at confrontation, and suffered numerous injuries. But it was such a guy that caused Anjie to suffer a tragic lore at his home court today.

He looked at Divac on the sidelines, and Divac just spread his hands helplessly.An Jie set his sights on the lore again, and the name on the back of the No. 30 jersey had been deeply imprinted in An Jie's mind.It says five simple letters - Curry.

"Click!" There was a sound of a switch, and it wasn't until Ricard turned off the projector and turned on the lights in the locker room that Anjie realized that he was not at the scene, but was watching the game that he lost to the Warriors that day. video.

Maybe it was because the experience of being killed this time was really fresh in An Jie's memory, so he brought himself into the scene again.

A month ago, on March 3, with the excellent performance of Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors were able to kill the Trail Blazers, which had won 16 consecutive victories in one fell swoop.

Curry's performance in that game and that one-step lore from beyond the three-point line made Anjie refresh his understanding of this guy.

After that, Ricard started to put up a slideshow, and the content of the slideshow was all about the No. 30 defender.

Stephen Curry, when Anjie was still playing in the NCAA, he would occasionally hear this guy's name.

Of course, at that time, the whole world was discussing Michael Beasley, Ross, Griffin, and even Anjie.

Curry?He's just a star player who played OK at Davis College.In the NCAA, there are too many star players like him, coupled with Curry's thin body, many scouts have crossed this guy's name.

The guy averaged 18 points per game in his first two years in the league.But in the face of Monta Ellis' eye-catching performance and the Warriors' poor results, Curry's terrifying performance did not cause any uproar.

You know, he's just a seventh overall pick.The No. 2 pick in the same year, Griffin, still attracted much attention without a game. The No.3 Thabeet could only play garbage time in Memphis. Although No.[-] Harden proved himself in the position of sixth man, his performance at that time still could not be compared with Curry.

Coupled with the peak performance of Tyreke Evans as a rookie on the Kings back then, Curry's popularity dropped again and again.

In the third year of his career, Curry only played 26 games due to injury.This guy who has never been in full attendance since entering the league, playing and stopping all the way, was directly forgotten by the world in that year.

In the 12-13 season after his comeback, Curry's performance was still eye-catching.But unfortunately, that year belonged to An Jie and his pioneers, and belonged to the 6VS00 battle.Stephen Curry seems to be so unlucky. He should have been famous in the league long ago, but due to various reasons, he has not reached the expected height.

But when he beat the Blazers in such a wonderful way on March 3, everything changed.

Now the whole world knows that the guy named Curry on the Warriors seems to be very powerful. Even Anjie has completely changed his perception of Curry.

Looking back at Curry's experience now, An Jie realized that this guy couldn't just be a flash in the pan.Because of his excellence, it started from the first day he entered the league, but people didn't know it.

The slide show ended, and Ricard looked at his players. "Why, what do you guys think?"

"We have never found such a monster in the West." Lillard, who was directly facing Curry, was the first to answer Ricard's question.

"Curry's performance is really outstanding. It's just that the Warriors didn't receive much attention in those years, so people ignored this. I think their strength is not just the sixth in the Western Conference on the surface." Jay also joined in the discussion.

"That's right, I just want you to know this. The Warriors are by no means idle! Their strength may even be higher than the Clippers! We can't just treat them as an ordinary sixth in the Western Conference. Treat them as if they were teams like the Heat and the Spurs!" Ricard has long been attracted by Curry's performance, so he also knows that the Warriors are not as simple as everyone thinks.

"Tomorrow, April 4, we will meet them again after losing to the Warriors for a full month. Tomorrow's game will be extraordinary. I think you all know whether the record of 16 wins can be tied. , It all depends on our performance tomorrow! I will not say any nonsense like 'let go of the pressure and enjoy the game tomorrow'. Tomorrow's game, we can only win! But how to beat the mighty Warriors, this is what we have today Clear questions must be studied."

Everyone became serious. Seeing the attitude of the players, Ricard also smiled with satisfaction.As long as the Trail Blazers start to face the Warriors, the Warriors will not be so scary.

"Generally speaking, we have practiced enough in the past few days. In today's game tactics meeting, let's talk about some details. First of all, the inside line, without a doubt, is the focus of our offense! Don't mention it When it comes to inside offense, you just stare at Ann and LaMarcus. I want all of you to focus on inside offense, to attack, to attack the frame, to hit the weakest part of the Warriors. Don't be fooled by Bogut and These two guys, David Lee, are bluffing, they are only strong on the outside. The Warriors are strong in their offense, not the two insiders who are more famous than their strength."

"Don't worry boss, it's not difficult to break through Curry's defense." Lillard held his breath. Curry completed the lore on his head in the last game. Tomorrow, Lillard needs to find himself with an excellent performance. back face.

"Andre, you will be facing the Warriors' second-year rookie, Harrison Barnes. This guy seems to have good potential, but he is still very immature. Look for more opportunities on him, I believe you You can eat this guy!" Seeing how excited Lillard is, Ricard shifted the topic to Iguodala, who has been tepid recently.

Iguodala has indeed been "playing dead" for a long time during the month when Anjie and Aldridge broke out.This guy is a role player at heart, but he has the ability to become a giant.

But when the team needs to stand up for itself, Iguodala never backs down.

"I will find a lot of breakthroughs in Barnes." Iguodala's answer was very brief, but Ricard knew that this was enough.A player like Iguodala will not let you down.

Afterwards, Ricard assigned tasks to everyone one after another.This kind of intensive tactical meeting is the first time since the regular season of this season.

"Okay, I've pretty much said all I need to say. We've got this far guys. After tomorrow, we'll be fighting for the championship again. But before that, there's one more thing we have to do .”

"Let the damn Bulls go down from the altar!" An Jie shouted out his truest thoughts. From entering the NBA to the present, what An Jie desires is not just the O'Brien Cup, but to become a legend. A legend who can be as famous as guys like Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe!

The O'Brien Cup is just part of the legend.

"This is our time guys, let the whole world never forget, back then, in Portland, there was a rose that bloomed brilliantly!"

"Roar!" Everyone slapped the table and stared, followed by An Jie and yelled.

April 4th is the closing battle of the 16-13 NBA regular season. Similarly, tomorrow is likely to be the birth day of the second 14-game winning streak.

At the beginning, people put the record of 72 wins at the top of the record that could not be broken.From the beginning to the end, no one believed that in the 21st century, there are still teams that can do this kind of thing.

But tomorrow, Anjie and the Blazers will try to surprise the world once again.

This is not a basketball game, this is a complete basketball revolution!
