The Way of the Center

Chapter 295: Stop abruptly?

The Thunder beat the Bulls in the first game of the new season, and the Thunder showed their strength in the first game. Biquge www.biquge.info Presti applauded non-stop in the luxury box, the performance of the players even exceeded his expectations.

Now the Thunder team has a friendly general, a stable locker room, and players who are willing to work hard... He really can't think of how such a Thunder team will fail. This season is destined to be a season that will allow the Thunder team to take off and evolve.

"Defeat the Heat!? The Lightning Power of Thunder Three!"

"The victory over the Bulls is just the first step for the Thunder to conquer the league."

"Guard, forward, center, the Thunder's invincible three-tier."

A day later, the Thunder's name was even more popular than the Heat's. Countless TV shows and newspaper covers, featuring the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Although the Big Three of the Heat are powerful, there are obviously problems with their running-in, and the depth of the Heat's second team is also very embarrassing. But the Thunder is different. Although this group of young people has not yet reached their peak, when they add up, the strength they show is even more daunting than the Big Three of the Heat.

A team with both individuals and teams is of course very terrifying.

Under the pursuit of the outside world, the Thunder team's conquest is indeed only the first step.

On October 29, the Thunder's first away game of the new season, they stepped into the Palace of Auburn Hills and played against the Pistons.

The Pistons have attracted much attention this summer because they signed McGrady, but the addition of McGrady does not make any qualitative changes in their strength. The Pistons are undoubtedly still a team that is groping in the rebuilding process, so for the Thunder, taking the Pistons is no problem at all, even if they are playing away.

Ben Gordon of the Pistons felt hot in this game. He scored 32 points and was even able to challenge Durant. But Westbrook's 21 points and Anjie's 18 points and 11 rebounds were beyond the reach of the rest of the Pistons.

105 to 100, like the first game, the Pistons have been struggling to catch up throughout the game, but unfortunately they failed to tie the score until the last moment.

The Thunder once again controlled the overall situation. Although the point difference was not too big, the Pistons did not cause too much trouble for the Thunder from the beginning to the end.

Now, Thunder players are interviewed more and more times, and they are on the covers of various basketball magazines more and more times. Many players want to transfer to places with high wages.

In fact, as long as you can succeed, high wages will take the initiative to find you.

Do shows, write columns, and engage in endorsements. The two consecutive victories at the beginning not only raised the Thunder's ranking, but also greatly increased the extra income of the players.

On October 31, the last day of October, the Thunder vs. Jazz is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching games today.

The inside combination of Millsap and Al Jefferson has brought a lot of trouble to Anjie and Morris. Jefferson, who was squeezed out by Love this summer, transferred to the Jazz, and his performance was better than when he was in the Timberwolves. Quite a lot. Perhaps after so many years of training, Jefferson knew what is restraint and what is called teamwork.

Not only was Jefferson able to attack independently, he also sent several penetrating passes. It can be said that he is the most difficult opponent that An Jie has encountered since the start of this season.

But being tough is tough, it doesn't mean that An Jie will be at a disadvantage. Jefferson belongs to the kind of insider who is both excellent in speed and strength, but why not Anjie?

The two insiders are playing back and forth. Because Millsap's shooting range is very wide, he can always pull Morris out and let Jefferson and Angie smack inside.

In addition, Deron. Williams is still the Jazz's offense in an orderly manner. The Thunder showed fatigue for the first time under the Jazz's steady offensive today, and finally lost with a score of 120 to 114.

But only three days later, on November 3, the Thunder came out of the haze of failure. Today Anjie came to the familiar Los Angeles, the familiar Staples, where he was still fighting the Lakers a few months ago. But today, their opponent is not the Lakers, but the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers have a high attendance rate this season, because their No. 1 pick last year, Blake Griffin, finally returned to the basketball court after being reimbursed for the season.

At the beginning, the Clippers fans were worried that they had selected a glass man champion. Thinking about Oden of the Trail Blazers, the Clippers fans shuddered.

But judging from the performance of the current few games, Griffin is definitely a guy worthy of the title of champion. The nickname of "White Warcraft" is really well-deserved. This strong power forward's dunks can be rock-shattering every time, and Griffin frequently staged such exciting scenes of dunks.

Today, Griffin played against the Thunder's strong defensive inside combination. Such a competition is naturally highly anticipated.

In the second minute of the game, Griffin rushed up with the ball under an oversight by Morris. Looking at the situation, Griffin is sure to dunk again, and at this moment, the person standing in front of him is An Jie!

The entire Staples fans were on their feet, anticipating a collision like sparks hitting the earth. Griffin's legs tensed, he kicked the ground hard, and rushed into the air. This is Blake Griffin, he can always ignore the defender to complete the dunk.

But An Jie is not an ordinary insider, he is a tall center who was selected to the best defensive first team last season! Seeing Griffin rushing towards him aggressively, An Jie did not show any weakness.

The bodies of the two collided quickly, and An Jie gritted his teeth. Griffin's strength, strength and explosive power were indeed strong enough! If it was last season, Anjie might have been humiliated by Griffin. It's a pity that the main target of Anjie's training this summer is the body!

After colliding with An Jie, Griffin continued to increase his strength, but he found that An Jie still refused to give an inch. Gradually, Griffin lost his center of gravity, and Anjie relied on his height and wingspan to touch the basketball in Griffin's hands.

In the end, Griffin, who lost his balance, fell heavily to the ground, while An Jie slapped the basketball in his hand out of bounds!

The entire Staples was dead silent, and the Clippers fans watched everything that happened on the court in disbelief. Griffin, who was unstoppable, was so embarrassed by the Chinese!

After finishing the cover, An Jie waved his fist vigorously, trying to complete the buckle on my head, it is impossible!

After that, Griffin's shortcoming of rough technique was targeted by Van Gundy, and Morris and Anjie also made Griffin's shortcoming infinitely magnified.

After that, the Clippers also let Anjie's old rival DeAndre Jordan try a few times. But since the beginning of college, Jordan has never won a victory in the hands of Anjie.

The interior was completely blocked, and the Clippers could only rely on Eric Gordon's outside shots to bite the score. So the game returned to the previous rhythm. The Thunder will not widen the point difference, but they have always maintained control of the game. This control controls the whole game again.

When Griffin was forced to shoot only from mid-range, the Clippers were not far from running aground. 107 to 92, after the Thunder lost to the Jazz, they won the arrogant Griffin at Staples.

An Jie's 25 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocked shots blew up the No. 1 pick together with Jordan. And the block that Anjie blocked Griffin's dunk was selected as the second of today's five best shots. The scene of Griffin being humiliated is also remembered by fans all over the world.

The next day, the Thunder took down the former Young Guard Trail Blazers. Only two days later, although the Thunder lost to the Celtics, who were flashing back to the big three, they won another victory against the 76ers in the next game...

Win, win, win. The theme of the Thunder team this season is clear. Although they still occasionally lose a game or two, winning is the main trend of the Thunder team.

Unknowingly, more than 20 regular season games have been played in the new season. During this period, the Big Three of the Heat gradually got on the right track and won many games. During this period, the Thunder won one game after another, and they are already the most championship-looking team in the West.

But what happened yesterday made An Jie unhappy. Although Yao Ming has been performing poorly since his comeback this season, his playing time has been strictly limited. But as long as Yao Ming can still play, the fans will have full confidence in him.

But yesterday, Yao Ming was injured again in the game. No one expected that after waiting for a whole season, Yao Ming's comeback would be so short. Short, even a little unreasonable.

Yao Ming's body could no longer withstand this kind of torture. His comeback this time is just to prove whether this point is correct or not. He didn't cry when he saw the coffin, but Yao Ming didn't expect that the reality was so cruel.

Dragging a heavier body than others, it is very difficult for Yao Ming to adapt in this faster and faster league. Although the final diagnostic result has not yet come out, Yao Ming himself knows that he will no longer be able to return to the court.

An Jie is still lamenting Yao Ming's injury, but now, he himself has to play to continue his fight.

Chinese fans are lucky. Although Yao Ming was injured again and Yi Jianlian was depressed, at least they still have An Jie. Everyone put their trust in Yao Ming on An Jie.

Now, the Thunder have won four straight. As long as this game wins the Warriors, the Thunder will usher in their second five-game winning streak this season.

The Warriors are obviously on the right track, and now relying on Ellis and Curry's double guns in the backcourt, their offensive firepower cannot be underestimated. Such an offensive combination is definitely a big challenge for the Thunder's defense.

The game has been going on smoothly, with the Thunder and the Warriors taking the lead alternately, but the team that has been led by the nose has always been the Warriors. If it weren't for Stephen Curry feeling hot today, the Warriors would never have made it this far.

With 5 minutes left in the third quarter of the game, the score was still not opened. But An Jie and his teammates are confident, so for this ball, Westbrook still shifted the battlefield to the inside line and let An Jie handle the offense.

The person defending Anjie is David Lee, a regular member of the 20+10 club. This guy has been defeated by Anjie many times today. This time, Anjie does not intend to let an accident happen.

He firmly sat on Li and pushed inside. When he was near the three-second zone, An Jie suddenly started shaking his shoulders.

With his strong strength and the shoulder shaking skills taught by Olajuwon himself, Anjie's series of movements made David Lee puzzled. He couldn't guess whether Anjie was going to turn right to hook or turn left to shoot.

Just when David Lee was hesitating, An Jie suddenly turned left and took off to shoot! David Lee didn't have time to react, he just rushed forward instinctively.

This is not enough to interfere with An Jie's shooting rhythm. An Jie completed the whole set of shooting moves in the air, and the basketball obediently flew into the net. But when An Jie landed, he felt as if he had stepped on something.

This step made the support point of the center of gravity of An Jie's soles messy. With a sudden twist, An Jie felt a piercing pain. While the fans and players of the Thunder were celebrating, they found that Anjie fell to the ground in pain... Anjie felt that not only his ankle, but also his knee seemed to be thwarted suddenly.

There seems to be a crack in the Thunder's smooth season trajectory. An Jie's heart skipped a beat, he felt that this time it was no longer as simple as a mild sprain...
