The Way of the Center

It wasn't until eight minutes left in the first half that Ricard was willing to send Anjie on the field again. It wasn't because the Cyclones were in crisis, but because Carter Robertson on the other side couldn't hold back and finally aroused Jordan.

Although the Farm Boys played very smoothly on offense, but on the defensive end, there was nothing they could do about the aggressive Cyclone team. In the match between the two teams, the farmer's children were still unable to overtake the score. If the situation continues like this, sooner or later they will be dragged down by the undead Cyclone team. Therefore, Robertson has to take Jordan up for a try. Now it depends on whether Jordan, who has rested for so long, can calm down and bring good changes to the team.

Ricard was also very calm. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. This is one of the biggest characteristics of Ricard's employment. He has not rashly sent Anjie on the field until he saw DeAndre Jordan take off his training uniform.

The duel between the two centers continued from this moment on.

"An Jie, be careful. That guy will definitely take revenge after suffering such a great humiliation." Mike Taylor, as the team's big brother, did not forget to tell An Jie behind him.

"I'll be careful, let's widen the gap in the first half!" Anjie and Taylor bumped their fists, and the farmer's team over there had already sent the baseline ball.

When DeAndre Jordan first joined the team, he was just a blue-collar insider. He could grab rebounds, defend well, and his strong body allowed him to do all the dirty work.

This guy has been in contact with basketball for a short time, and the time he has received formal basketball training is not much more than that of An Jie. Coupled with his own body and athletic ability, he can get along like a fish in water even without skills, so he neglects technical training even more.

But in this game, although An Jie was very thin against Jordan, he was an opponent he couldn't beat with his body alone.

Little Jordan is also very lacking in experience, and Anjie has learned a lot from that old fox Divac. In this way, the shortcomings of Jordan's poor basic basketball skills will be fully exposed in the following games.

………………..

After Jordan came on the court, the smooth offense of the Farm Boys completely disappeared. Jordan will not pick and roll, will not make room for his teammates to attack. All he can do is still to stay in position, and then reach out for the ball.

But Robertson also said that DeAndre should be given enough support. Therefore, Jones, the point guard of the farm children's team, had no choice but to lob the ball directly to Jordan again.

Mike Taylor wanted to do something, but facing an opponent who was half a head taller than him, it was not easy to interfere with the opponent's lob pass.

So the current rhythm of the game has returned to the same as it was at the beginning, and everything depends on the collision between the two big men inside.

After taking the ball, Jordan went all out, and violently took the initiative to stick An Jie.

"Boom!" There was a huge muffled sound from body collisions! Morris on the other side of the three-second zone seemed to feel the horror of Jordan's perverted power.

An Jie also felt that his chest was stuffy. Just then, Jordan secretly stretched his elbow, but the referee didn't notice, and An Jie could only swallow the bitter fruit.

After taking a big step forward, Jordan directly held the ball with both hands, and then forcibly turned around with Anjie as the axis. An Jie also tried his best to stop him, even if it was a foul. However, Jordan had gathered enough strength on the bench, and he directly pushed An Jie away by two steps. Morris on the side quickly dropped his matchup and rushed to Jordan to make up defense.

Jordan bumped away from Anjie and jumped up with both feet on the spot. At the same time, Morris, who was defending, also jumped up behind Jordan, preparing to slap the ball from behind.

"Bang!" DeAndre Jordan ravaged the basket again, Morris and DeAndre Jordan had physical contact in the air,

But Jordan was not affected at all, and still completed the dunk. On the other hand, Morris was so crowded in the air that he lost his center of gravity and fell down in embarrassment.

"How is it? You are not injured!" Anjie immediately ran to Morris with concern and pulled him up.

"It's okay, it's okay, how the hell did you fight against that guy for so long." Morris waved his hand to indicate that everything was normal, and marveled that Anjie didn't lose the slightest bit when confronting such a monster.

"Hey, your old partner has troubled you again. There won't be a next time. To guard against this guy, you can only use some unconventional means."

After that, An Jie still only played a diversionary role in the attack, and the real end point was not with him. Little Jordan wished that this Asian boy would quickly play singles with him, so that he could save face with a beautiful defense. But things backfired. Mike Taylor once again got a chance through the pick-and-roll and running positions, and his best mid-range shot was still not inaccurate. The Cyclones scored consecutively, and Jordan's wish came true.

In the last attack, Jordan disintegrated the opponent's two inside defenses, and he was very proud. This time he decided to repeat the old trick, and poor little Jordan forgot how Anjie played him earlier.

This time, Jordan didn't even need to hit his back. He held the position very deep. After receiving the ball, he leaned directly on An Jie and began to turn around.

When the inside players turn around, some people with irregular technical movements can easily lose control of their elbows, and Jordan is just one of the people with the most irregular technical movements. Unknowingly, he raised his elbow and hung it on An Jie's face.

DeAndre Jordan's elbow hangs in Angie's face, which is okay! ? Who is Angie's center coach? The patriarch of the flopping world.

Although he just wiped his face lightly, but the elbow was an elbow, and An Jie would not suffer from being dumb. What's more, didn't the referee just miss a dark elbow that Jordan made to himself, which is called tit for tat. As soon as DeAndre Jordan's elbow touched An Jie's face, An Jie immediately covered his head exaggeratedly, and squatted on the ground in pain.

"Doo beep!" The referee clearly saw Jordan's elbow hitting An Jie's face, and without hesitation he called Jordan an offensive foul.

"What!" Little Jordan was furious, and rushed to question the referee.

"It's definitely a foul this time." Morris also surrounded the referee.

"You don't need to f*ck to add oil and vinegar here!" The upright little Jordan pushed Morris hard.

"What are you doing!" Morris is not An Jie, and little Jordan has a bad temper, so why not Morris? He stepped in front of little Jordan in a few strides, and the two became entangled.

Immediately, all the players of the two teams gathered around, some were insulting and pushing each other. A few calm ones pulled Morris and Little Jordan away and hugged tightly.

Seeing that the situation exceeded his expectations, An Jie also stood up immediately, firmly blocked between Morris and Jordan, and then pushed Morris away desperately. Dude, this doesn't look like a guy who just got hit on the head.

After the referee intervened, the conflict finally subsided. The result didn't change. The referee still called Jordan an offensive foul, and the ball returned directly to the Cyclones.

An Jie's shot is actually not too much. He can't really wait for Jordan to knock himself unconscious on the ground before he appeals to the referee. Just like what Divac taught, flopping is only used when the referee misses a judgment and it is at his own fault. The premise is that it was originally a foul ball, but the referee may not notice it, and the omissions may cause him to suffer. If you use flops to turn a ball that is not a foul into a foul, it is cheating, and it is a matter of character.

An Jie also has a good grasp of the balance between the two, he will not suffer, nor will he cheat.

After that incident, Little Jordan lost the remaining trace of calm, and he became violent. His movements became more and more uncontrollable, and Anjie didn't need to exaggerate the fouls after that, the referee could see it himself.

The shortcomings of his poor skills are also fully exposed. The anxious Jordan even made low-level mistakes such as dribbling on his feet, being cut off when he took the ball, and so on. After the first half, Jordan's appearance not only did not make the team make good changes, but he also dug a big hole for the team.

51 to 40, the Cyclones ended the first half with an 11-point lead.

After the start of the second half, the fans of Texas A\u0026M University found that Jordan, who had an eye-catching performance in the first three games, was now on the bench by Carter Robertson. He could no longer bear what Jordan did on the court. Without Jordan, the farm boys team played better as usual.

But even so, the morale of everyone in the Cyclone team has been greatly improved, and their offenses are frequently successful in the face of the weak defense of the Farmers' Team.

When Robertson played all his own cards, the situation of the game still did not improve. After seventeen minutes of dealing with the Cyclones, Robertson replaced all of his main players. At this time, there were a large number of vacancies in the gymnasium of the farm children's team, and many fans had already left the stadium early. No matter how much unwillingness was revealed in DeAndre Jordan's eyes, Robertson never gave him a chance in the second half, and he could only watch the team lose the game.

"I'm not mistaken about Ricard. Let's see what Anjie has forced Jordan into. Although he is very friendly on the surface, he is a ball ruffian on the basketball court." Divac looked at him with a smile. The favorite student running on the court.

With one minute left before the end of the game, Ricard finally took Anjie down. Facing the thumbs up from his teammates, An Jie just scratched his head in embarrassment, which did not match the image on basketball at all.

After this game, Jordan's rough skills were revealed, and he gradually lost his position as the main player in the team. An Jie, on the other hand, slowly revealed a side that was completely different from his off-court personality.

In the end, the Iowa State University Cyclones defeated the Texas A\u0026M Farm Boys 81-68. And Anjie completely crushed DeAndre Jordan in terms of personal performance. Anjie's 26 points and 9 rebounds are much more dazzling than Jordan's 10 points and 7 rebounds. Thanks to Jordan's many unnecessary fouls on An Jie, An Jie got a lot of opportunities to score free throws, which also allowed An Jie to score a new high in his college basketball career in this campaign.

The Cyclones have won four consecutive victories since the start of the game, and the team's condition is getting better and better. In the NCAA March Madness knockout round, the Cyclones took another big step towards this goal.
