The way of the center

Chapter 663

Bogut was inexplicably charged with an offensive foul, but at the Moda Center at the moment, no one would sympathize with this flesh-faced Australian center.

Even if An Jie really flopped, even if his series of actions just now were really unclean, Bogut would have reaped the consequences.Is it worthy of sympathy when a bad man meets a worse man?

With Anjie's beautiful defense these few times, the morale of the Trail Blazers has also skyrocketed.

Now Lillard is no longer as timid as he was just now, and his speed across the half made Curry feel a little hard to keep up.

An Jie stood at a high position, and no one knew whether this guy was going to pick and roll, organize, or launch an attack by himself.Anjie's versatility makes it impossible for you to effectively judge what he will do next.

However, Anjie didn't do anything. He just stood there, and he was already involved in the Warriors' defense.

Wesley Matthews, who sneaked into the bottom corner, raised his hand to ask for the ball. Lillard called a pick-and-roll, but actually passed the ball suddenly, which caught the Warriors by surprise.

Before, it was Thompson's running position that made Matthews hard to guard against.Now, it's Matthews' turn to fight back!
With an open three-pointer, Matthews did not waste this opportunity.Today, the Trail Blazers' offensive efficiency is very high, and their shooting percentage once overwhelmed the Warriors.But it is precisely because the Warriors made more three-pointers that the Blazers were at a disadvantage before.

Now, Matthews will return the color in the way the Warriors do best!
"Four points! Ann played just a few rounds, and the Trail Blazers went from being behind to leading. No matter how good Stephen Curry performed, he could only be Ann's foil!"

Mark Jackson is a little anxious, although Jackson has been working on building a good defensive system since he entered the Warriors.However, due to the limited strength of the two insiders, Bogut and David Lee, the defensive power he built is not strong.

Maybe next season, after training and strengthening, the Warriors' defense will improve.But now, if the Warriors want to win, Mark Jackson must rely on offense.

The elevator tactic just failed, so this time the Warriors did not continue to use it offensively.

An Jie can see clearly from the high position. The cooperation between the Warriors players in off-ball pick-and-roll and on-ball pick-and-roll is simply wonderful!
It's no wonder that Curry and Thompson made so many three-pointers today. Often a set of tactics ran down, and both of them got open opportunities.

But now, the demoralized Lillard and Matthews are biting the Warriors' two scoring points to death.They are like ghosts, always around Curry and Thompson, unable to dispel.

In the end, the Warriors' tactics still didn't work out.There was not much time, and Curry shot immediately after borrowing a simple pick-and-roll.This time, Lillard's blocking was in place. It can be said that this time the defense was quite successful.

However, under such circumstances, Stephen Curry made a three-pointer in a daze!A shot that didn't look like a chance against the defense was turned into a score by Curry!
"Too strong! 43 points, this is simply a battle between superstars!" Mike Breen couldn't help applauding Curry. He had never seen this kind of guard before!All shooters will be eclipsed in front of Curry!
An Jie shook his head helplessly, there was really no other way.The Blazers' defense has done quite well, but they just can make shots.

The subsequent games have been carried out in the performances of Anjie and Curry.Of course, Anjie did not forget to "take care" of Bogut from time to time.

Bogut was furious on the court, and he was also determined to find a chance to make Anjie suffer again!

Fierce matches always proceed very quickly, and before you know it, the battle has entered the countdown stage.

In the last 36 seconds of the game, the Blazers temporarily led by two points.The fans in the Moda Center couldn't bear the excitement in their hearts. Maybe in half a minute, the Trail Blazers will make history!
Anjie was equally excited, because the fans in the stands were already shouting "72 wins".But he must calm down, if he gets too excited at this time, it will get in the way!

If this game is lost, it will actually have no effect on the Warriors.After all, this is already the last regular season game, winning or losing the game can't change the current ranking at all.

But just like Mark Jackson said, Curry doesn't want to be the background of history.He, to be the center of history!

In the last 36 seconds, Curry made up his mind that he was bound to win the game!

An Jie knew Curry's look, because at this moment, An Jie also had the same expression.

The two-point gap has now become a mountain, pressing hard on the Warriors players.

At this time, choosing to score two points before using a tactical foul is the safest way.Therefore, the Trail Blazers players also focused on the three-point line.

Three-pointer?No, no, Curry didn't dare to shoot a three-pointer.Although he once completed a lore in the Moda Center, the gap between 36 seconds and 3.6 seconds is huge.

In 3.6 seconds, Curry will definitely shoot a three-pointer.But in 36 seconds, the risk of shooting a three-pointer is great.

Except for Curry, who is in charge of the ball, and Bogut, who involves Anjie in the paint, everyone else in the Warriors is interspersed with running positions, tearing apart the Blazers' defense.

The hand-to-hand fight between Bogut and Anjie in the interior feels like it is about to become a free fight.However, these two old fritters are very secretive, so that the referee who is paying attention to Curry cannot notice it at all.

Curry is still pressing time. It seems that the team that should be anxious is the Blazers, not himself who is two points behind.People didn't know what Curry wanted to do, but Anjie became a little nervous.

In the last five seconds of the 24-second offense, Curry suddenly started!

Lillard was overjoyed, this guy really planned to ask for a two-pointer!No, if it's two points, why did Curry spend so much time?
Just when Lillard realized something was wrong, David Lee suddenly stood beside Lillard.

Seeing this situation, Curry, who was originally holding the ball to break through, suddenly pulled back a step back, allowing him to return to the three-point line.

After Curry retreated, he pulled up and shot, and his shot speed made it impossible for the blocked Lillard to interfere.

"Curry and David Lee did an elevator play with only one door closed, and the play was executed very well, now we'll see. Goal! Goal! Steph Curry, beautiful step three Point jumper, Curry killed the game!" Before Mike Breen finished speaking, the basketball had already entered the frame.As a neutral commentator, he yelled excitedly, while the fans in the auditorium around him clasped their heads in frightened hands.

Curry spat out his braces and raised his arms.This haughty look indicated that he would defeat the strongest team in the league twice in a row within a month!

"Damn, my fault!" Lillard blamed himself very much. The off-ball pick-and-roll of the players in the Warriors' offense is really good.If you don't pay attention, the defender will hit the "wall" straight.

"It's okay Damien, we still have time!" An Jie pointed to his wrist, indicating that the game is not over yet.

In the next second, Ricard used the last timeout in his hand.No one would have thought that there would be such a wonderful scene in the last game of the regular season this season.

Other teams are training their substitutes today, or playing carelessly.The Trail Blazers and Warriors, however, offered a feast to fans all over the world.

117 to 116, 12 seconds, the Blazers trailed by one point.And the whole team's sustenance was on No. 00, who turned the situation around after only half a quarter of the game.

An Jie nodded while listening to Ricard.Fans and commentators really wanted to know what these two crafty guys had to say, and so did Mark Jackson.

"Defend for the last time, Andrew, I don't care what method you use, but you can't let that guy Anjie score the ball!" Mark Jackson said directly, no matter what method you use, that is to say, methods other than basketball , he also allowed Bogut to try.

Bogut nodded silently. Although the Warriors are leading now, Bogut felt a little nervous when he thought that Anjie would hold the ball and fight him hard.

With trepidation, Bogut stepped onto the court.

He looked up at An Jie, only to find that An Jie was also looking at him with a fierce expression.

"Damn it, it's nothing to be afraid of! Get rid of the Blazers, get rid of them!" Bogut slapped himself in the face to encourage himself.

Center, in modern basketball, is actually the most difficult position to complete a lore.

In the moment when the winner must be decided within a few seconds of the lore, the movement is not as fast as that of outside players, and the shooting range is not as fast as that of a small and big center. into the box.

But in the Trail Blazers, An Jie was the one with the most number of lore shots and the highest success rate of lore shots.

His versatility on the offensive end makes it possible for Anjie to complete the lore as long as he steps into the three-point line!
In the last 12 seconds, Aldridge served out of bounds.Now the players on the field are like playing rugby, everyone is next to each other, there is a lot of physical contact.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle, and the players who had been stationary suddenly started to move.

Pushing, getting rid of, loud commands, pick and roll... The temperature of the entire basketball court became higher in an instant, and all the players in the Moda Center stood up.

Like last year's finals, this is an offense that can change history!

Under the cover of his teammates, Lillard finally received the basketball from Aldridge.Aldridge passed the ball very quickly and was almost intercepted by David Lee.

After Lillard got the ball, Curry pressed forward immediately. The Warriors were not afraid that Lillard would go for a lore, but to prevent him from passing the ball well.

At the same time, Bogut also played tricks on An Jie.But now, Bogut dare not mess around.If he is called for a foul at a critical moment, he will definitely be the culprit of the loss!
Seeing that Lillard was unable to get rid of Curry's pressing defense, Aldridge mentioned the high position and prepared to give Lillard a pick-and-roll.

Mark Jackson's heart was raised in an instant. You must know that Lillard, a second-year student, also has a strong ability to handle key shots!
Aldridge's pick-and-roll didn't hurt the flexible Curry too much, but Lillard still got a little room to pass the ball.

An Jie leaned back suddenly before catching the ball, and lifted his elbow inadvertently by the way.Bogut took a big elbow in the chest and took a step back.

The space of one step is enough for Anjie to hold on to this not-so-good pass.

As soon as he got the ball, the Australian leaned forward unrelentingly.At the same time, Harrison Barnes also left Iguodala behind. Obviously, he is going to double-team Anjie!
An Jie glanced at Barnes' running position from the corner of his eye, and Iguodala quickly cut inside, and the route to the inside pass was completely blocked by David Lee.

What about outside lines?Lillard is still stuck with Curry.Matthews?No, the positioning is not good, the ball is difficult to pass.

After looking around, An Jie found that no matter whether Barnes double-teamed or not, the responsibility now was only for him.

In terms of big heart, An Jie is definitely a big heart player now.In his rookie season that year, Anjie missed the shot that would allow the Thunder to enter the playoffs when facing O'Neal because he was too nervous.

But now, even if An Jie's situation is so tense, his heart rate does not exceed 80 beats per minute.

Now Anjie is still in the mid-range position. If he pushes forward with his back, it will just give Barnes a chance to complete the double-team.

Shooting is Anjie's only choice.

Anjie first took a few steps back with his butt, just as Barnes and Bogut were about to complete the double-team.Anjie's fallback jumper shot seems to be Kobe's way of playing, but Kobe's way of playing cannot be replicated by everyone.What's more, Anjie is still a center forward.

Both Barnes and Bogut jumped up to block, but Angie's outstanding height and wingspan combined with the little space for leaning back allowed him to release the ball calmly.

The basketball passed over the fingertips of Barnes and Bogut, time seemed to freeze, and no one knew what would happen in the next second.

Angie was still in the air in a backward posture, and the terrified expressions of Bogut and Barnes were clearly visible.

This moment seemed very long, Ricard felt his heart was about to jump out, but the basketball was still spinning in the air.

"Beep!" The electronic buzzer sounded to represent the end of the game, and Ricard suddenly fell back to the bench.

Only then did he realize that the sweat on his forehead was no less than that of the players playing on the field.

"It's over, George." Next to him, Divac also sighed with relief. Just now, he was holding his breath the whole time.

"It's over." Rickard wiped his sweat, the position of NBA coach is really fucking fatal!

The final score of the game was displayed on the big screen at the scene. 117 to 118, the visiting team is in front and the home team is behind.In an instant, the number 72 appeared on the big screen again.

Yes, Angie he did it!
