The Way of the Center

"Cousins: Angie is useless in front of me."

"Cousins ​​said again: Don't be afraid of Anjie, just let the horse come here."

"It was full of gunpowder before the game, An Jie: I don't care about the opponent's remarks."

"Tuesday focus battle: Portland Trail Blazers VS Sacramento Kings."

It stands to reason that the Kings, whose current record is only 2 wins and 5 losses, cannot be compared with the Trail Blazers, who have 6 wins and 1 loss. But it is precisely because the Kings have Cousins, the straightforward guy, that the battle between Anjie and Cousins ​​in this game has become extraordinarily concerned.

This unruly and very childish guy will not respect anyone who opposes him, even if this person is his teammate or coach. What's more, Cousins ​​doesn't like Anjie, which is well known.

In Cousins' view, Anjie is a very insidious player. He likes to deceive the referee with some flops, and he is a liar. However, this is enough to make Cousins ​​hate Anjie and the Trail Blazers. Furthermore, Angie became popular after being abandoned by the Kings. As a result, the Kings chose the big man Cousins ​​in the 10-year draft. The outside world said that Cousins ​​​​is Anjie's substitute in the Kings and a regret medicine for the Kings. This remark naturally made Cousins ​​very upset.

In fact, Cousins' essence is not bad, but his personality is relatively straightforward. In other words, he is still like a child at heart.

An Jie naturally knew this, so he didn't argue with Cousins. Whenever a reporter came to ask himself a question about Cousins, An Jie took it lightly. As a result, in the eyes of Cousins, Anjie did not value himself.

"I don't know where this proud Chinese man got his confidence. He can ignore me, but after tomorrow's game, he will remember me." An Jie may not have thought that he would not take the initiative to provoke trouble , but Cousins ​​saw it as a kind of disrespect. An Jie held the newspapers and shook his head. In tomorrow's game, he was destined to have a fierce hand-to-hand fight with Cousins.

On November 13, the day of the Trail Blazers game against the Kings, in the locker room before the game, Lillard and Aldridge had been gesturing.

"What are you two doing? Have you thought of any new tactics?" An Jie looked at the mysterious two very curiously.

"Hey, Ann, you can play with confidence today. If that guy DeMarcus dares to touch you, Aldridge and I will hack you back." Lillard whispered in Anjie's ear, and got it For a long time, it turned out that Lillard and Aldridge were gesturing to this.

"Come on Damien, this is a basketball game, not professional wrestling. Cousins ​​is just saying that, he won't do anything to me." An Jie waved his hand disapprovingly, Cousins's The temper is well known throughout the league. This guy's mouth is a bit rotten, but he's not indiscriminate.

However, it is precisely because of the hostile relationship between Anjie and Cousins ​​that this game, which was originally a huge disparity in strength, has become the focus of attention of the media and fans.

Cousins' temper is well known, and Anjie's title of "butcher" has also been passed down for a long time. Just thinking about the head-to-head confrontation between these two guys is enough to make people excited. It's not so much that people come to see the Blazers and Kings, it's better to say that they come to see Ainger and Cousins.

When preparing for the game, An Jie, as the leading star of the Trail Blazers, still greeted the opposing players as always. Some shook hands, some hugged, and everyone on the Kings team responded to An Jie.

Only Cousins, when An Jie stretched out his hand in front of Cousins, Cousins ​​didn't even look at An Jie, as if An Jie didn't exist at all.

The Blazers immediately glared at Cousins, while the Kings looked embarrassed.

This action undoubtedly embarrassed An Jie. And Cousins' move really pissed Anjie off.

After returning to the Blazers' halftime stand, An Jie's expression changed obviously. At the beginning, he was amiable, but now, An Jie is frowning.

You can say whatever you want before the game, but if you don't show due respect in person, An Jie won't agree to that!

Originally, An Jie only wanted to take the victory away from Sacramento in a friendly and easy manner. After all, the resentment that the Kings abandoned him back then had long been buried in An Jie's heart. But when Cousins ​​chose not to respect Anjie, Anjie's psychology also changed.

Therefore, as soon as the game started, the fans saw the enjoyable inside melee!

Anjie got the ball for the Trail Blazers, and Lillard got the ball out of the three-point line and immediately gave the ball to the low post.

An Jie didn't hesitate, and hit the ball as soon as he caught it. He used a forward turn after shaking his shoulders to force Cousins ​​to break through the middle. Although the 2.11 meter Cousins ​​​​was born as a power forward, he was strong when he faced a traditional center like Anjie.

An Jie struggled to hold the ball and took two steps, but found that he had no chance to make a layup. So An Jie suddenly stopped, pulled up and shot!

Cousins' reaction was not slow. Seeing Anjie lift the basketball, Cousins ​​immediately blocked it. Facts have proved that his block is really a hit.

Anjie's emergency stop and lifting the ball was just a fake move, the purpose was to shake Cousins ​​up, and then make a foul. If you play like this, you may even get a chance to hit a three-pointer.

An Jie guessed that Cousins ​​would be fooled, but he didn't expect Cousins ​​to be deceived so thoroughly. The time bomb of the Kings jumped up and slapped An Jie hard instead of hitting the ball.

An Jie immediately covered his face and fell to the ground. He was so hurt by the slap. If An Jie didn't exaggerate the facts, he would be sorry for Divac's hard work.

Aldridge immediately crossed over, pushed Cousins ​​away with his shoulder, and stood between him and Anjie. On the Kings side, Tyreke Evans also pulled Cousins ​​away to avoid a conflict between the two sides.

There was no serious problem after An Jie got up, he was still alive and kicking. It was just Cousins ​​who was inevitably called a foul.

"My God, within a minute of the game, Cousins ​​applied for a foul for himself. If I were Kings coach Keith Smart, I would have a headache for Cousins." Mike . Breen shook his head, Cousins ​​is an excellent kid, there is no doubt about it. But his character is likely to become a stumbling block in his career.

Under the boos of the fans in the audience, An Jie made two free throws steadily. Cousins ​​picked up the basketball from under the basket and slapped it on the ground hard. The battle between these two big men has just begun.

The next Kings offense ended under Tyreke Evans' mid-range shot. Speaking of Evans, the best rookie of the 2009-10 season, he is really a model representative of the peak of a rookie.

After putting up jaw-dropping numbers in his rookie season, Evans' performance has been declining year after year. Other rookies are going up step by step, but Evans is going down step by step.

As Evans missed the shot, Cousins ​​also ran back and retreated very dissatisfied. But this guy will not vent this dissatisfaction on his teammates, and Anjie will become the target of Cousins ​​to vent his anger.

Rough pulls, stealthy knee thrusts. As soon as An Jie approached Cousins, Cousins ​​got his hands on it.

This time Anjie didn't continue to ask for the ball from Lillard. At this moment, everyone in the Kings must be waiting to see Anjie and Cousins ​​play singles. In this way, their vigilance against other people will drop a lot.

Lillard went straight to the penalty area after passing Aldridge's pick-and-roll. At the same time, Cousins ​​​​also dropped Anjie and went to the basket to defend.

Just when Lillard was about to plunge into the crowd, he suddenly turned his wrist and passed the basketball to the outside again.

Lillard's typical breakthrough and scoring, this tactic has been tried and tested on the Trail Blazers.

It was Iguodala who received a pass from Lillard outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, Iguodala made a feint and broke through Evans toughly. A few steps into the three-point line, Iguodala stopped and shot. Evans tried his best to interfere, but for someone like Iguodala, the post-mortem defense will not work.

Another victory, the Trail Blazers played easily. But for Ainger, even if he didn't catch the ball this round, he was pissed off by Cousins' dirty play.

The Kings attacked for the second time, and Cousins ​​suddenly made a mid-range jumper after going out of the three-second zone, which made him open on Anjie's head.

"You are nothing, Ann. You are popular only because of the color of your skin." After scoring the goal, Cousins ​​continued to chatter at An Jie. An Jie is not a bully. Sins remembers this game well!

So later, when Cousins ​​was about to put on An Jie again, he was the first to be hit in the abdomen by An Jie's dark elbow!

Cousins ​​pouted slightly, but he still managed to stand up and continue to defend. Before he could slow down, An Jie turned around immediately after receiving the ball. In the process of turning around, Cousins ​​was hit in the chest again. He was in so much pain that he couldn't keep up with An Jie's footsteps, and An Jie was able to dunk under the basket.

Kings power forward Jason Thompson had already arrived at the three-second zone, but when he saw An Jie's majestic push, this guy didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

The goal was scored, Anjie did not celebrate, but turned around and retreated. At the same time, Cousins ​​also walked towards the basket, ready to pick up the basketball on the ground.

The moment the two met, An Jie bumped Cousins ​​hard with his shoulder. Cousins ​​immediately turned around and glared, but only saw An Jie's mouth shape "Kiss, my, ass!"

"Fuck you!" Cousins ​​gritted his teeth, and he swore that he would make An Jie look good!

The commentators who commented on the game naturally understood An Jie's mouth shape, but because that sentence was too uncivilized, they didn't explain anything to the fans. They only know that there will be a good show to watch next.

The fiery duel between the two big men has begun to heat up.
