The Way of the Center

Although before this game, the Trail Blazers had won four matchups. E novel Ww "W. *1XIAOSHUO. COM But there was never a time when An Jie could be as happy as he is now.

An Jie was not happy because he had the thrill of a successful revenge. He and the Thunder broke up peacefully, with no grievances or enmities. Instead, his affection for the Thunder remains strong.

The reason why he is so happy is only because he defeated a strong enemy, and only because he has done what the Trail Blazers can't do from the outside world.

"Great job, LaMarcus! We can't win without you." In the player tunnel, Anjie jumped on Aldridge's back excitedly. Aldridge, a restrained guy, also showed a rare smile. He ran rampant in the player tunnel with Anjie behind his back, seeing that Rickard was worried, for fear that they would be injured.

Anjie had 33 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 blocks, and Aldridge had 24 points and 8 rebounds. In the small ball era, which other team will rely on the inside to win? The Trail Blazers illustrate this problem well.

"Now there are only a handful of inside players who can get a triple-double in the league. Not only did Kean get a triple-double, but he also got a triple-double in front of his old club, the Thunder. If I hadn't watched the whole game with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe a The center can overwhelm the Thunder inside. You know, even Dwight Howard can’t get good data against the Thunder.” Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in disbelief, not knowing Unexpectedly, An Jie has scored so many points.

"Don't forget, LaMarcus Aldridge's performance is also crucial. 10 of 12 shots? I read that right!? This guy is simply a shooting machine, so accurate that he will never make a mistake." Kenny .Smith came up with another scary data, Angie and Aldridge complement each other, so that the Trail Blazers' inside offense becomes unstoppable.

"If you ask me, Presti's face must be green now. Westbrook made 8 of 18 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 44%. The scoring leader KD is even more exaggerated, 8 of 26! His shooting percentage is as high as 3o %! Wow, the core of the Thunder team is really working hard. Anjie alone can beat these two. If Bledsoe's swing is not bad, the Thunder team would not only lose by only 10 points?" Barkley's mouth has always been He will not show mercy to anyone, even if Durant is the youngest guy to win consecutive scoring titles, he will not buy it.

"I don't know if you have a question?" When everyone was discussing the data, Reggie Miller seemed to think of two topics.

"What? Ann has grown taller again?" Barkley was still joking unscrupulously.

"No, but it is indeed related to Ann. The Trail Blazers have played five games now, with an excellent record of 4 wins and 1 loss. In the last four games, they have won four consecutive victories. Does anyone remember that Ann is When did you start playing?" Reggie Miller didn't point out,

Instead, he gave the right to speak to his two partners.

"That is to say, the Trail Blazers have not lost since Ann's comeback until now, and he has won all the games he played."

"That's right, Kenny, the Trail Blazers with Anjie have so far been undefeated. This is actually quite a scary thing. The next game the Trail Blazers will face the Los Angeles Lakers. Continuous high-intensity battles , how much the Trail Blazers are, will be revealed soon.” Invisibly, Reggie Miller advertised for T.nT again, and the next game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers will also be a national live broadcast of T.nT the number of sessions. With Reggie Miller's reminder, many fans who are still unsatisfied have already been whetted.

...................................

Originally Ricard thought that Anjie would only be a little excited on the night of winning, but when the team trained the next day, the crying Camby made Ricard realize Anjie's passion Still not extinguished.

"This guy is 8 centimeters taller than me, weighs 17 kilograms, and is 15 years younger than me! Boss, I'm applying to change the counterpoint of the confrontation training. This kid, let LaMarcus deal with it." After several rounds of confrontational training, veteran Marcus Camby began to make fun of Rickard again. But it was true that the excitement of Angie made Camby feel like his bones were about to fall apart.

An Jie not only runs fast, but also has great strength. It is already very difficult for Camby to keep up with Anjie's pace, but now he has to resist Anjie's impact, which is really terrible.

But from this point, Camby also experienced how pitiful their opponent was, and they had to fight the monster like Anjie to death. How much perseverance does that Morris have to fight with An Jie to the last moment.

"Come on, Camby, I can only show my power when I'm with Andy." As he spoke, Aldridge raised a fist, and Anjie touched him with a tacit understanding.

"Okay, Marcus, go back to your position. I'll tell Anjie to be lighter." Rickard smirked at Camby. Camby shook his head helplessly, and continued to return to the penalty area. It belongs to Anjie's "Slaughter Paradise".

After a day of training, the Trail Blazers will play against the Lakers at home. Although the shortened season shortens the schedule and reduces the number of games. But the game density is very high.

In college, Ricard didn't have to worry too much about the players' health in the ncaa, which played once a week. But after the NBA, the place where Ricard ran the most besides the locker room was the team doctor's office. He will strictly check the physical condition of the players every day. In fact, the depth of the current Trail Blazers lineup has not met Ricard's expectations. If anyone is seriously injured, it will be a devastating blow to the Trail Blazers. Especially Anjie, if he gets injured again, then the Blazers' season will be over.

Therefore, in the game against the Lakers, Ricard deliberately limited Anjie's playing time. It doesn't matter if you lose a game, but you must ensure that An Jie can finish the season smoothly.

An Jie also knew in advance that his playing time in this game would be less than that of the previous game, so he played very hard on the court. He is afraid that once he relaxes, he will lose the opportunity to express himself.

Therefore, even in the face of Kobe, an old friend, Anjie was not relentless.

When they were in the Thunder before, Bynum and Gasol had experienced Anjie's power. Now there is another Aldridge beside Anjie, and the twin towers of the Lakers can't stop Anjie.

However, if only Anjie and Aldridge performed well, the Lakers would not panic. After all, Zen master Phil Jackson had already thought of all this and formulated a corresponding response plan.

But when Gerald Wallace came out halfway, Zen master had to admit that he lost control of the game!

"A comprehensive forward like Pippen!" This is when "Elvis" was still healthy, and the outside world spoke highly of him. Gerald Wallace's playing style will make him more vulnerable to collisions than others, but after playing for ten years, he is no longer the rampant young man he used to be.

Gerald Wallace now plays more reasonably, and the combination of inside and outside shooting makes the Lakers small forward Matt Barnes hard to defend.

Zen Master must be missing Artest with a hip injury. If there was that beast, Wallace would never go crazy like this. It's a pity, who made that guy Artest so weird that he fell down the stairs of his own house and injured his hip?

Barnes has Artest's ferocity, but not Artest's body and defensive awareness. Gerald. Wallace can eat a lot of sweetness from Barnes, the Lakers backup forward Ebanks? Forget it, as far as his traversing speed is concerned, it's like a game for Wallace to pass him.

With the containment of Aldridge and Anjie, Wallace can score as long as he can successfully break through. Gasol didn't dare to play Aldridge, who made 10 of 12 shots in a game, and Bynum didn't dare to leave Anjie unattended. They would rather watch Wallace empty the basket than leave the Trail Blazers' twin towers for half a step.

However, the Lakers' front line is really "competitive", and they were all sieved by Wallace throughout the game. Kobe went through a lot of hardships and scored two points there, and Gerald Wallace easily equalized once he came over. Phil. Jackson finally couldn't hold back anymore, he asked Gasol and Bynum to actively defend the restricted area. However, with such an arrangement, the truly dangerous weapon of the Trail Blazers finally came out.

"LaMarcus Aldridge! Another mid-range shot! This guy is definitely one of the most scoring power forwards in the league. The low-key of this 2006 No. 3 player made everyone ignore his danger!"

"Ann is going to shoot! No, this is a false shot, and Bynum was shaken away again. One-handed dunk! Ann completed it very easily! Anjie, the whole body is full of fake moves, you don't even know what he is doing. The trick will be a real shot, which trick is just a feint. This kind of center, except for making O'Neal ten years younger, no one else can guard against it."

Zen Master did successfully limit Gerald. Wallace's crazy attack, but he did not limit the scoring momentum of the entire Trail Blazers. Ricard's team is the kind of team that can always stand out. Didn't the Cyclones back then rely on this feature to advance into March Madness?

Anjie and Aldridge can score as long as they seize a slight gap. Fortunately, the Lakers have Kobe, and Gasol is also not to be outdone when facing Aldridge. Although the Trail Blazers suppressed the scene, in fact, the scores of the two sides have not been as wide as Ben.

What really caused the Lakers to fall into a trough was the increasingly poor second team of the Zijin Army.

Odom, Vujacic, Shannon Brown, Farmar...all of these figures who have made great achievements during the Lakers' two consecutive championships have now left. On the surface, the Lakers lineup has not changed much, but why is the strength and record greatly reduced? In addition to the increasing age of Kobe and Gasol, the large arc shrinkage of the bench depth is one of the reasons.

However, Ricard has a super sixth man, Jamal Crawford. Facing the weak second team of the Lakers, Crawford pretended to be a superstar again.

Anjie and Aldridge are responsible for stabilizing the score, and Jamal Crawford is responsible for opening the score. In this way, in front of the pioneers who performed their duties and made concerted efforts, the proud Zijin Legion also bowed their heads in the Rose Garden.

Watch the score on the big screen until the end of the game. Not to mention the Lakers fans, even many Trail Blazers fans couldn't believe their eyes.

96 to 1o7, the Lakers lost in the Rose Garden by 11 points. Although the Lakers have a tendency to decline, they can definitely be regarded as a strong team.

Kobe's shooting percentage in this campaign was very good, 54%, and the Black Mamba also scored a team-high 30 points. Gasol also scored 21 points under Aldridge's defense, which is not bad.

But Anjie's 35 points and 10 rebounds, Aldridge's 18 points and Gerald Wallace's 26 points completely offset the efforts of Kobe and Gasol. Jamal Crawford's 17 points, on the basis of the above, became the key to deciding the outcome.

The Lakers played five players off the bench, and the highest shooting percentage was point guard Steve Blake, but his shooting percentage was only a disastrous 22%.

After defeating the Thunder, the Blazers followed up by defeating the Lakers. With ease, Anjie led the team to five consecutive victories. You must know how difficult it was for the Thunder to win a five-game winning streak back then.

Unknowingly, a black whirlwind is raging wildly in the west. Anjie has scored 30 points in two consecutive games, which is the first time in history. In the past, he played more of an auxiliary role in the Thunder team, but now as the core, the whole team is running for An Jie, so it is easy to get such data.

After the game, Kobe still hugged Anjie affectionately. In the blink of an eye, Kobe, a rookie, Anjie has become a relatively experienced fourth-year player. And now, the Black Mamba has also been defeated by the team led by An Jie himself.

Before the Lakers lost to the Thunder, it was a loss to the Thunder's third young man. Now the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers because of the presence of Anjie.

Rickard and An Jie never planned to accompany the prince to study since the beginning of the season. The ambitions of these two people have greatly exceeded the expectations of the outside world. A wave of five consecutive victories is undoubtedly a good expression of the determination to tear the city apart.

Wasn't it just to win when they were able to work together?

Now, the master and apprentice have successfully sent out the signal. Next, they'll actually get off the ground.

The playoffs are not the goal, the Western Conference Finals or even the O'Brien Cup can satisfy Anjie and Ricard...
