The Way of the Center

"The bounce of "Superman" is really terrible. In the case that the height and wingspan are not dominant, Howard still grabbed the basketball before Anjie." With the praise of the commentator, the basketball fell to Rajon Rondo. hands. Originally, Allen Iverson was the starting point guard for the Eastern Stars, but because AI's daughter suddenly fell ill, he announced that he would give up the All-Star Game and was replaced by David Lee of the Knicks.

The Western Conference also lacks a full lineup, and Kobe Bryant, the champion of the Western Conference, also gave up participating due to injuries. Originally, Anjie was looking forward to cooperating with Kobe, but it seems that it can't be realized now.

As soon as the game opened, Rondo used an accurate ground-hitting pass to help Garnett, who cut inside, dunk. Shifu Duncan didn't want to defend the ball at all. When Garnett broke through him with the ball, Duncan just "dumbly" watched the Wolf King enter the penalty area, and then dunked with both hands.

"Duncan is distracted again. Has this guy forgotten that the game has already started?" The on-site commentator kept teasing Duncan. The various abnormal behaviors of this old man on the court will make people feel cute.

"Ann, how about a greeting gift for you! It's like welcoming you into the big family of the Western Stars." After being taken in by the Wolf King, the players of the Western Stars did not regret it at all. They don't have time to regret, because they are thinking about how to "play" the next offense.

Nash blinked at An Jie, and An Jie knew that he had to concentrate later. Nash's pass is elusive, and it is impossible to receive his pass without a high degree of concentration.

"Ann and Nash's pick-and-roll cooperation, the two international players cooperate very happily."

With Anjie's pick-and-roll, Nash plunged into the restricted area. At this time, the opponent's defensive lineup did not shrink, because they didn't want to stop Nash at all.

Even so, Nash passed the ball to Angie as planned. In the process of dribbling and advancing, Nash suddenly slapped the basketball under his crotch. Although his back was facing An Jie, the basketball passed through the big hole in Nash's crotch obediently. In the hands of An Jie.

"It's amazing!" An Jie had to marvel at Nash's superb passing skills in his heart. What is a man who turns passing into art? Only by personally receiving the ball from him can he deeply understand the meaning of that sentence meaning.

But there is a problem, Nash's pass is too fast. Although he successfully received the ball, An Jie was outside the three-point line at the moment.

"Never mind him!" An Jie also became interested, anyway, it's just for fun, so what if he shoots a three-pointer. Besides, during the regular season last season, An Jie also scored a three-pointer, which was still at the buzzer.

An Jie no longer hesitated,

Raise your hand and cast. Seeing that An Jie was shooting a three-pointer, Howard just raised his arms symbolically.

The arc of basketball is very high, and Anjie hardly shoots three-pointers, neither in games nor in training. So although An Jie's touch is soft, but if you want to make a three-pointer, you have to rely on Meng.

"Broken, this ball is not good." Charles Barkley seemed to have seen something, the ball was still flying, and he started to laugh.

The basketball crossed a high parabola, then deviated from the basket, and flew straight to Garnett's face.

"Haha, An Jie tried a long-range shot at the beginning of the game, but it was a pity that he made a three-point shot." Yu Jia also smiled easily. In the All-Star Game, as long as you dare to play, it doesn't matter if you make it or not. Isn't what the fans want to see the most today are those scenes that they couldn't see in the regular season?

The subsequent games were still very exciting, with various dunks and breakthrough layups emerging one after another. But the most dazzling player on the field has to be Wade the Flash. He first broke through the old Kidd's defense with a sudden acceleration, and avoided An Jie's block in the air, and scored the ball.

After that, he passed the ball successfully in a very small space, helping the "Little Emperor" LeBron James hit a three-pointer.

The game got better and better, but Anjie hardly touched the ball except for the long shot at the beginning.

After all, he is still just a rookie, and he has to let these bigwigs on the field have fun first, and then it's An Jie's turn to come to him seriously.

Five minutes into the first quarter, the score was still tight. Of course, no one on the field would care about the score.

Now it's the offensive round of the Western Conference Stars, and the person who handles the ball has changed from Nash to Chris Paul who came off the bench.

Seeing that Anjie wanted a good position, Paul quickly passed the ball and planned to let Anjie get one himself. Because off the field, Stoudemar was already preparing in front of the technical stage, and An Jie was about to leave the field, so he couldn't let him go off without a point.

The fans originally thought they could see a fierce back-to-back duel between Anjie and Howard. Unexpectedly, Anjie turned to face the frame after receiving the ball, and stepped back a few steps to a mid-to-long distance position. And, looking at An Jie's gesture, he is asking his teammates to pull him away!

"What does this guy want to do? Pull Howard in the singles. Does he want to learn how Iverson swayed the matchup before he is reconciled?" Even Charles Barkley was looking forward to Anjie's next move.

An Jie's temporary teammates also cooperated very well. Usually, others would start their singles for them. Today, they also played a supporting role for the sake of parting.

Seeing that the battlefield was vacated, An Jie began to dribble the ball alternately between his left and right hands.

"Hahaha, he really wants to act as a guard! Let's see how Ann breaks through Howard's defense." Barkley stared at the field with interest. The two big men confronted each other unusually on the outside. One is still learning how to dribble as a guard.

An Jie began to speed up the frequency of dribbling, and gradually lowered his center of gravity. Howard faced An Jie's attack with a smile on his face, even he wanted to know what An Jie would do.

An Jie suddenly accelerated! Howard didn't intend to let An Jie pass by so easily, he moved in the direction of An Jie's breakthrough.

Just when An Jie and Howard were about to collide, An Jie suddenly switched hands behind his back and dribbled the ball, allowing him to flash past Howard.

"Oh! This is something a big center at 2.19 meters can do!?"

After breaking through Howard's defense, Anjie raised the ball for a layup. Warcraft is naturally not reconciled, he is willing to complete this performance.

Seeing An Jie, he jumped up quickly, and the monster jumped with all his strength, intending to use a block to announce the failure of An Jie's attack.

"Oh no." But after Howard took off, he realized that he was cheated by An Jie for the second time.

Anjie's layup was fake. After seeing Howard was tricked, Anjie turned around and hooked, and the basketball flew over the head of Warcraft, but this time the ball did not deviate from the target, but went into the net hollowly.

"Boom!" All the fans in the audience applauded An Jie's wonderful performance. After this goal, An Jie's popularity soared instantly. Although it was just an entertaining attack, without delicate techniques and solid basic skills, it would not be entertaining at all. If you don't believe me, let Howard try to copy that ball.

Anjie's wonderful performance conquered the hearts of all fans.

After Anjie scored the ball, Eastern Stars coach Stan Van Gundy called a timeout, and Anjie's performance in the first quarter was officially declared over.

When he got another chance to play, the game had come to the last three points of the second quarter.

Facing David Lee, An Jie scored the ball with several sets of beautiful footsteps, which won bursts of applause. The audience might think that An Jie was able to play so easily because David Lee didn't take the defense seriously, but David Lee knew in his heart that although he didn't say he was doing his best, his defense wasn't really letting the water go. An Jie's ability to score these goals depends entirely on his ability!

If such an opponent continues to grow in the future, it will be simply too terrifying!

However, Wade's strong performance still makes Anjie only a supporting role. According to the current play, it is not impossible for Wade to score a triple-double in the All-Star Game.

"We have to be more serious in the second half. The first half is entertainment, and the second half will be played as a real game!" During the intermission, the head coach of the Western Stars, George Karl, issued instructions to his subordinates. This is the unwritten rule of the All-Star Game. In the second half, the two sides will always fight for a while.

But even if Anjie started to defend seriously, even if Durant and Anjie frequently scored points, the person who dominated the game in the end was still the Flash.

"Wade is expected to break the triple-double record created by Jordan in the All-Star Game! The Flash is omnipotent today!"

Seeing Wade break through again, An Jie didn't know what to do. If he stepped forward, Wade's lost step would make Anjie lose his protective effect in an instant. If you stay where you are, Wade may choose to make an emergency stop jumper or throw.

Just when Anjie was still undecided, Wade had already taken off, ready to lean on Anjie to complete the layup.

An Jie jumped like a conditioned reflex, but neatly slapped the basketball in Wade's hand flying.

"An's iconic volleyball hat! Hohoho, I never thought that the first person to eat Anjie's hot pot today would be Wade!"

"I'm sorry buddy, I don't want to." An Jie waved at Wade, and Wade patted An Jie's arm indifferently.

However, this is the only time Wade has been deflated in this game. After that, The Flash continued to kill the Quartet. An Jie rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, this was only the All-Star Game. If the Thunder encountered Wade like this in the regular season, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the fourth quarter, Anjie and Durant didn't have much playing time. But the two young men seized a fleeting opportunity and completed an aerial coordination.

It was An Jie holding the ball with his back in the low position. When David Lee was still very nervous, An Jie suddenly threw the basketball into the air, and Durant, who followed the cut, jumped and caught An Jie in the air. Pass the ball and dunk it into the box.

O'Neal was overjoyed to watch off the court, and Anjie's performance did not disappoint him. Kobe, who was injured but also came to watch the game, also applauded Anjie.

In the end, under Wade's strong performance, the Eastern Stars won the game with a score of 140 to 133 and successfully revenged.

After the game, the All-Star Game mvp was undoubtedly won by Wade who performed well. With 28 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 5 steals, he deserved the MVP award for such achievements.

Although Anjie only scored 16 points and 6 rebounds, his performance today undoubtedly impressed the fans. Anjie was involved in several wonderful goals.

In the Cowboys Stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 spectators, An Jie ended his first trip to the All-Star Game. In front of the record-breaking number of fans on the scene, An Jie showed his talent to the fullest.

After the game, Kobe and Anjie greeted each other warmly. Everyone who participated in the All-Star Game also took photos with each other and said hello to each other.

How that night ended in the end, An Jie no longer remembers. All he knew was that he was very excited, very happy. I met a lot of people and did a lot of things.

But besides being happy, An Jie didn't forget. The second half of the regular season, which is related to the playoffs, will be much more difficult than the first half.

After a happy weekend, more difficult games are yet to come. (To be continued.)
