The Way of the Center

Chapter 387: Fighting to catch up

"Don't look at the alley-oop pass from behind, I bet, there must be a pair of eyes behind Ann's head!" Until the end of the first half, Kenny Smith was still discussing the last attack in the second quarter of the game. Ω E small Δ said WwW. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

Immediately, the T.nT director inserted the video of Yao Ming passing the ball behind his back and assisting Morris in his rookie season in his rookie season. In such a comparison, An Jie's actions just now are indeed very similar to Yao Ming.

It's just that Yao Ming's pass behind his back was just an ordinary assist, which was exciting enough. And just now, An Jie used almost exactly the same movement to deliver an alley-oop for Jamal Crawford. Needless to say, how exciting it is!

"It's so fucking amazing, how did you do it?" Even Crawford, who benefited from it, was still immersed in the moment just now and couldn't extricate himself.

Crawford cut inside to the basket just hoping that Anjie could use an ordinary touch pass to give him a chance, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly become one of the important pictures of today's top ten ball list !

Yes, Crawford is so confident. He feels that it is impossible for anyone to score a more exciting goal today than just now.

The position on the top ten list must belong to him and An Jie!

It is said that Los Angeles is the city of alley-oops, but the Trail Blazers from Portland who like to play slow-paced basketball used an alley-oop to make the Clippers players speechless!

Everyone was stunned by that scene, even Chris Paul, who had seen countless big scenes, didn't dare to think about what happened just now. Even if the ball is between him and Griffin, it may not be possible to complete this kind of cooperation.

Off the court, Ricard was also smiling. Of course, he smiled for a different reason than everyone else. Others were smiling for the wonderful goal, while Ricard was smiling because Anjie successfully reduced the score to 10 points.

"Good job Anjie, if you played like this from the beginning, we would be leading by ten points now." Ricard patted Anjie on the shoulder, this is the role of a leading star. To shoulder the heaviest task and become the most trusted guy of the team coach, isn't this the responsibility of a head coach?

"Okay, you guys were bad enough in the first half. I really want to forget everything that just happened, so now, let's talk about the second half of the game, how we should deal with it!"

"Ann, first, I want you and Aldridge to switch defenses!" Ricard's first change made the two leading stars of the Trail Blazers open their mouths in surprise.

"But,

That DeAndre guy..."

"Don't worry, DeAndre Jordan just runs fast, jumps high, he's a complete mess when it comes to offensive skills. Aldridge, your job is to keep Jordan from getting in the paint off the ball. He's fine Offensive means, so as long as you spare no effort to fight him to the death, you will be able to defend." Before An Jie's question could be uttered, Ricard explained all his arrangements.

"Come on, Ann, you don't have to worry about me." After listening to Ricard's arrangement, Aldridge stretched out his fist and tapped An Jie's arm lightly. As the second head of the team, he doesn't want to be a burden. Although the physical confrontation is not as good as Jordan, Aldridge is willing to entangle with his life to make up for the physical gap between the two sides, making it difficult for DeAndre Jordan to move!

"Very good, the point difference is only ten points now, and we have recovered half of the decline. In the second half of the game, I hope you will let these proud guys in Los Angeles take a good look at who is the winner! After the game, we must win Take the match point and leave!" Ricard slammed the tactical board vigorously, facing the boos of the Clippers fans, Anjie and his teammates once again strode onto the court!

"From the expression, Anjie and the other players of the Trail Blazers were not affected by the excessive point difference. In the second quarter, if Anjie didn't come on the court in the last few minutes, the Clippers might not have even played this game. The 10 point difference cannot be kept. Let us see if the Clippers, who once led by 20 points, can keep the fruits of victory in their hands." Ke Fan in the Sina live broadcast room also focused. In the previous two games, the Blazers had It's too easy to win. Today, this is called the real playoffs!

As soon as the game started, Anjie missed an open mid-range shot. The Clippers fans, who had been on tenterhooks, cheered happily. An Jie, who almost turned the situation around, would sometimes fail to grasp the opportunity!

In turn, Chris Paul scored the first point for the Clippers with a jumper. The Blazers, who came with the mission of chasing points, not only did not reduce the score, but instead made the point difference into 12 points!

The Trail Blazers fans in front of the TV were splashed with cold water, but An Jie's expression remained calm.

"Steady, steady, steady..." An Jie knew that he was able to close the point difference just now by playing steadily. Now, he will continue to follow this method.

The Clippers thought that the Blazers would play fast-paced basketball with them impatiently, but after the first offense failed in the third quarter, the Blazers' offense was still as calm as a rock.

"This group of guys! Damn it!" Chris Paul is not afraid that the Blazers are fast, but he is afraid that the Blazers are slow! He thought he had aroused the desire of the Trail Blazers to chase points quickly, but unexpectedly, those guys in black jerseys continued to play their own basketball slowly as if nothing had happened.

In fact, there are some people in the Blazers team who want to chase points quickly, but when An Jie is slow, they must also slow down as a supporting role for An Jie.

This time, it was not Anjie who came up to pick and roll for Felton, but Aldridge. However, An Jie didn't rely on Jordan to take the position, but faced the basket and stood a small step outside the three-second zone.

Felton pretended to use the pick-and-roll to break through, but suddenly changed direction when he was around the pick-and-roll. This time, even the sensitive Chris Paul was stunned for a second.

It is not easy for Felton to successfully get rid of Chris Paul. Therefore, he must seize this rare opportunity!

The two guys, Matthews and Wallace, pulled to the two bottom corners respectively, and Anjie did not occupy space in the three-second zone. Although Chris Paul tried his best to chase him back, he was stunned for a second. Couldn't finish the car.

DeAndre Jordan was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether he wanted to defend Felton, who was breaking through, or An Jie, who was not far from the three-second zone.

But if you let it go, Felton will easily make a layup! Jordan still decided to defend the basket first, and then if Felton passes the ball, he will attack Anjie again!

Seeing that Jordan moved his footsteps, Anjie didn't stand still and wait for the pass, nor did he walk towards the basket, but ran towards the basket further away!

Felton took off and turned his shot into a pass. DeAndre Jordan turned around immediately, but found that An Jie was no longer in the position just now. The current him is two or three steps away from him!

After getting the ball, Anjie caught and shot as usual, but DeAndre Jordan interfered with his jump, but it was just a show, and the late defense did not interfere at all.

But the Clippers fans are still not worried, Anjie just failed to make a mid-range shot. Now, he may not be able to score this goal even if he doesn't feel good!

"Swipe!" However, the sound of the Nets tumbling still caused the entire Staples to fall into despair. Yes, An Jie did miss a shot just now, but just because he can't score a goal, it doesn't mean that An Jie doesn't feel good!

"Ann's running position is very smart, but I think the problem of the Trail Blazers is not the offense, but the defense. The cooperation of Paul and Griffin is the main reason why the Trail Blazers are now behind." After watching the Trail Blazers The team's not a brilliant but very effective offense, and everyone wants to see if their defense can improve as much as their offense this round.

Paul's advancement is still very fast. In fact, he is already quite tired, but he knows that only running without sparing any energy is the only way for the Trail Blazers.

Griffin also followed Paul, waiting for an opportunity to plunge into the penalty area! However, Gerald Wallace, who returned to the defense, was on Griffin's sprint route. In order to avoid fouling people, Griffin had to reduce!

But after bypassing Wallace, Griffin once again pointed to the basket with his finger, signaling Paul to pass an alley-oop for himself!

Paul took advantage of the moment when Aldridge hadn't arrived, and threw the ball into the air. Seeing this situation, "White Monster" Griffin jumped with all his strength, and the basketball in the air was within reach!

Griffin grabbed the basketball firmly with his fingers, and after that, his arms gathered enough strength, ready to swing towards the basket vigorously!

At this moment, An Jie's face suddenly appeared in front of Griffin. Although Anjie is tall and has long arms, he still couldn't block Griffin after he took off. But even if he couldn't complete the blocking, An Jie didn't mean to back down in the slightest.

He and Griffin had a violent collision in the air. Griffin dunked the ball to the basket under pressure, and the basket made a loud noise. But that basketball popped out of bounds!

"Ann's defense was excellent. He forced Griffin to dunk the basketball! The referee ruled out of bounds, and the Blazers have the ball!"

"It seems that coach Ricard intends to use his toughest defensive weapon on Griffin, who has performed well." O'Neill can imagine that Griffin's good days are numbered.

After that, Anjie attracted Griffin and Jordan to double-team under the basket, and finally he assisted Aldridge to complete the mid-range shot.

On the defensive end, DeAndre Jordan failed to make a layup under Aldridge's desperate defense, and Anjie protected the defensive rebound for the Trail Blazers.

Raymond Felton made a gesture to pass the ball into the penalty area, but before the ball was released, he flicked his wrist and used a swipe to help Wesley Matthews hit a long-range two-pointer.

Aldridge's shot was greatly interfered by Griffin, but Angie soared into the air and completed the dunk before Jordan touched the ball...

Chris Paul wiped the sweat hanging from his chin, how long have they not scored? Paul didn't know. So the real soul of the Clippers looked up at the big screen, only to find that the Trail Blazers would tie the game with only two points left!

"Pay attention to the opponent's pick-and-roll!" Chris Paul yelled loudly as he stood ready. The advantage of the last ball, he hopes that the Clippers can keep this advantage of the last ball!

Jamal Crawford, who replaced Raymond Felton, confidently tricked Paul with his fancy dribble. In the first half of the game, Crawford played very poorly because he was too impatient. But now, the Trail Blazers, who are only two points behind, can keep Crawford clear-headed.

Although he dribbles fancy, it seems that he has the momentum to single out Paul. But in fact, his eyes are constantly watching, hoping to find the gaps in the Clippers' defense.

"Come on!" Seeing that Courtney Lee, who came off the bench, successfully got a chance through An Jie's off-ball pick-and-roll, Crawford flicked his hand, and the basketball flew towards Courtney Lee at a very fast speed.

Courtney Lee lobbed the ball to An Jie who had just screened and rolled for him before he even stopped for a second after receiving the basketball.

An Jie took two steps inward with the ball frame, but when he was about to attack the frame, he turned around in the air and returned the ball to Li.

At this time, the Clippers' defense had been completely disrupted, and Foye, who was in charge of defending Courtney Lee, was powerless at the moment. The patient cooperation of An Jie and Li made him completely lose his defensive position.

Courtney Lee may not score many points in each game, but at this critical moment, as a top player, he will never be soft.

Take off, separate your legs slightly, press your wrists, and move your fingers. Courtney Lee's shooting was very beautiful, and the basketball flew over everyone's heads and fell towards the basket.

The turning point of the game, perhaps, was Courtney Lee's shot...
