The Way of the Center

An Jie looked up at the auditorium. Although there were still dense crowds of fans cheering for them in the stands, An Jie could clearly find the empty seats.

If Anjie remembers correctly, this should be the first time this season that the Rose Garden has not been fully occupied. It's no wonder that the "freshness" at the beginning of the season has faded from the hearts of fans, and their interest in the NBA regular season is now less than before. Moreover, the strength gap between the two sides in this game is really huge. Fans can guess the result and process without watching it. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why this game has not received much attention.

Wu Hua still came to the media area. After a season, as long as there are An Jie's games, he will not miss more than five games. Today, he naturally came to the sidelines as usual. Unlike most fans who only focus on winning or losing, what Wu Hua wants to see today is what changes Ricard will make after Aldridge leaves the Trail Blazers.

But unexpectedly, the child Anthony Davis attracted Wu Hua's attention. Although he is only 2.08 meters tall, his slender figure makes him look extremely tall. Strong muscles, enviable shoulder width, and the same exaggerated arm span as An Jie. This guy's physical condition is really excellent, and compared to An Jie, he is also more capable in terms of mobility!

"All-around insider in the new era!" This is how the media commented on Anthony Davis. After seeing Davis himself, Wu Hua was even more eager to know how such a guy with excellent physical condition and basketball talent could What kind of sparks did they have with An Jie?

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

"Is that the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes?" Anjie and Lillard crossed their hips, looking at Anthony Davis who was warming up in the other half. I have already heard the praise of Davis from the media before, but this is the first time I have seen it in real life. Among other things, Davis's thick and thick unibrow is enough to make An Jie never forget him.

"Can you handle him?" At this moment, Anjie and Lillard asked each other the same question at the same time.

"I'll let him know what Rookie of the Year is.

Lillard puffed up his muscles and smiled at Anjie.

"I'll let him understand how cruel the interior competition in NBA games is." An Jie grinned and stared at Davis.

Anthony Davis was shooting and felt a chill down his spine. This poor kid, he didn't know that he was being targeted by two scoundrels.

The game started as scheduled. Although the seats were not full today, the cheers in the Rose Garden Stadium were still not small. An Jie just stood in front of Anthony Davis, which gave Davis a great sense of deterrence.

The exaggerated height and fierce eyes, as well as various "legends" about him, made Davis, who was the number one pick, swallow his saliva.

Because today Hornets coach Monty Williams did not start Robin Lopez, but let the big shooter Ryan Anderson play the fourth position. Therefore, when it comes to Davis who came up at the fifth position, he had to confront Anjie head-on from the very beginning!

For a rookie, this is undoubtedly a terrifying thing. But Davis still mustered up the courage, he hopes to become famous in one fell swoop!

The referee blew his whistle, and the orange basketball flew up in response. An Jie and Davis jumped high at the same time, and immediately, An Jie was taken aback by Davis's terrifying jumping ability and wingspan. But the jump ball is not just a high jump, it also needs some experience and skills, and An Jie relied on his richer experience and height advantage to barely hit the ball in his own half.

Lillard got the ball and started attacking immediately, and people thought this guy was going to start playing against Anthony Davis. Unexpectedly, he just took the ball across the half court and handed over the ball.

The one who caught the ball was none other than An Jie, the leading star of the Trail Blazers. But what surprised the fans was that this time Anjie did not wait silently in the low post to be double-teamed as before, but held the ball with his back to the basket a little behind the free throw line!

"Could it be..." Kevin Harlan felt that this scene was very familiar, but he had never seen it on the Trail Blazers this season.

"Want to break through?" Anthony Davis opened his posture when he saw Anjie holding the ball in the middle distance. Compared with fighting Anjie in the low post, Davis is more confident to block Anjie in the middle distance with his faster footsteps!

When Davis opened his arms in front of Anjie, Anjie had to admire Davis's huge defensive range. From the bottom of his heart, An Jie really wanted to challenge the defense of Davis, the No. 1 pick, but now was not the time to be arrogant. Winning comes first.

An Jie turned around with the ball in his hands, Davis covered An Jie's eyes with one hand, and kept harassing the basketball in An Jie's hand with the other hand.

"Well, the defense is really good." An Jie raised his mouth slightly, and made a swift three-threat step towards Anthony Davis!

Perhaps because of Anthony Davis' high nervousness, when An Jie made a three-threat move, Davis actually shook his center of gravity. Just when Anthony Davis thought that Anjie would use this to break through, Anjie suddenly passed the ball over Anthony Davis' head.

Davis failed to raise his hands to intercept the ball due to his untimely reaction. The basketball flew past Davis' scalp, and Davis knew something was wrong, so he turned around immediately! But Iguodala, who cut inside, has already started layup against Ryan Anderson, who is softer.

Although Ryan Anderson is as tall as Davis, as a shooter insider, his confrontation ability is not strong. And Iguodala is one of the few small forwards with the best physical fitness in the league.

Although there is a huge gap in stature, Iguodala still easily scored the ball against Ryan Anderson's defense. After the goal was scored, Iguodala was still dissatisfied and complained to the referee. He thought this should be a chance to play a three-pointer.

Anthony Davis tensed every string in his body, but the Blazers finished the offense with ease. The ball that An Jie passed close to his head was almost humiliating!

"Damn it, it's just good luck!" Davis ran toward the frontcourt unwillingly. He hadn't realized that Anjie's mid-range pass was not a flash in the pan, but intentional.

"Sure enough, we saw the changes in the Trail Blazers in the first offense. If I'm not mistaken, in this game, Coach Ricard decided to let Anjie return to the role he used to play the most, the tall organization Player! An Jie played such a role in the three years from college to the Thunder. It was only after joining the Trail Blazers that An Jie took on more tasks as a scorer and seldom participated in the organization of the team. But obviously, Anjie and Coach Ricard, the master and apprentice, have not forgotten the tricks they used to survive." Mike Harlan's analysis is very accurate, which is why he is more "funny" than T NT. group is more authoritative.

The audience hadn't recovered from An Jie's wonderful pass, but on the defensive end, An Jie used another big shot to make the scene bully ups and downs.

This is Anthony Davis, after receiving a pass from Hornets point guard Graves Vasquez, turned around and used his mobility advantage to break through Anjie. Under normal circumstances, Anjie is a trailblazer The team's last line of defense, breaking through him often means that you will be facing an empty basket.

Anthony Davis' breakthrough this time is no exception. J. J. Hickson is now being nailed beyond the three-point line by Ryan Anderson. An earth-shattering dunk should be enough to give An Jie a blow!

Thinking of this, Anthony Davis didn't hesitate any longer. He jumped high with the ball in one hand, ready to complete a tomahawk-style dunk on An Jie's head.

However .......

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Anthony Davis felt the basketball in his hand being slammed away! The basketball hit the backboard heavily, and then bounced back hard.

Davis was about to take off the ball for the second jump, but found that a big hand controlled the basketball one step ahead of him. Davis looked back, and sure enough, it was the huge number 00!

"Anthony Davis' drive was brilliant, now he's going to... oh my god! Block the dunk! Ann's a beautiful chase! Anthony Davis almost hit the top 10 , It's a pity that the person on the list has become Ann!" Kevin Harlan's passion

No less than Mike Brin, otherwise, this guy would not be able to become the queen commentator of the NBA2K series of games.

In an instant, Davis felt a lot of sweat on his head. Of course, these sweats may not be due to exercise. This guy, An Jie, is really scary!

Although Davis is the No. 1 pick and the next MVP in people's eyes, it is not that he has not been blocked on the basketball court. But what An Jie did just now was completely covered on top of his head. Davis is well aware of how heavy his bounce and wingspan are, so to block himself in such a thorough way, maybe only Anjie can do it!

After blocking the block, Iguodala immediately received a pass from Anjie and began to counterattack. The Blazers' counterattack and fast break abilities were very poor last season, but this season, transition offense is the most favorite way for the Blazers' outside players to score.

Although the Hornets' starting small forward Aminu is tall and strong, his speed is much worse than Iguodala's. Iguodala easily completed the overtaking and dunked with both hands.

A hearty fast break mobilized the emotions of the Rose Garden fans and the morale of the Trail Blazers players.

Two assists, one block. Although Anjie didn't score, he had already made Anthony Davis suffer.

"Hey boy, I know what you're thinking. When I was a rookie, I also tried to play well when I met Yao Ming and O'Neal. But I want to tell you, today, I won't let you succeed Want victory and honor? You have to grab it from me abruptly!" Seeing Iguodala complete the attack, Anjie turned around leisurely and spoke to Anthony Davis for the first time.

Perhaps in front of others, Davis will get encouragement from veterans. But when you face An Jie, don't expect any pleasant words from his mouth.

"Damn it!" Davis clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling. He is a member of the NCAA championship, the MOP winner of the NCAA, and the winner of the Wooden Award and the Naismith Award. But just now, he was humiliated by a person who couldn't even get past the top 16 in the NCAA! And the most irritating thing is that this guy is not arrogant, but really very strong!

Looking at An Jie's playful eyes, Davis knew deeply that it would be even more difficult to win the victory from this guy!

Lost Aldridge? No, as long as there is An Jie, the Blazers will have no problems!
