The Way of the Center

"Come again! Come again!" An Jie picked up the basketball on the ground and threw it into Aldridge's hands. Just now, Aldridge made his third consecutive hit on Anjie's head. This big guy's touch today is even hotter than the figure of a Victoria's Secret model. If Aldridge can bring this state to tomorrow's game, Zach Randolph will probably be beaten to doubt his life.

"Hey, you can't stop me today. Just like your performance in the game yesterday, I can't be stopped!" Aldridge smiled and caught the basketball thrown by Anjie. Come out, today is the best day since he came back from injury.

Aldridge confidently moved close to the three-second zone, and immediately used his back to deal with Anjie's block.

Anjie didn't flinch this time, he stuck to Aldridge firmly. This kind of defensive strength is almost the same as in real games!

"Are you going to come for real?" Aldridge smiled, and made the first effort! An Jie was pushed back half a step. In fact, Aldrie's ability to advance in low post singles is very strong, but his playing style usually makes people mistakenly think that this guy lacks strength.

An Jie resisted a burst of soreness from his abdomen, and tried his best to stick it up again. At the moment when An Jie's center of gravity changed, Aldridge suddenly turned around and made a breakthrough. This guy has been training with An Jie for so long, which greatly improved the flexibility of his footsteps.

Throwing off Anjie's half body, Aldridge stretched his long arms for a layup. And Anjie relentlessly planned to complete the block from behind, but unfortunately, Aldridge was still one step ahead of Anjie and picked the ball in.

"Hahahaha, yeah! I said Ann, I can't be blocked today.!" Aldridge jumped up excitedly, and scored four goals in a row on Anjie's head. Even in training, this is a very rare thing.

"Damn it, if you can't bring this kind of performance to the court tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude to you in training." Although An Jie played very seriously just now, he was still happy when Aldridge scored a goal. smiled.

Aldridge is in good shape, which is good for the Trail Blazers. If he can even play Angie, Aldridge will have no problem facing Randolph or even Marc Gasol.

Ricard and Divac, who were supervising the training on the sidelines, were also very happy. Every back-up offensive and defensive practice between Anjie and Aldridge is a virtuous circle. If Anjie can guard Aldridge, then most insiders will not cause him trouble. If Aldridge can defeat Anjie, then most inside defenses will not be able to suppress Aldridge's offense.

Not only Aldridge, Iguodala, Lillard, Courtney Lee, Matthews and even the elderly Fisher were all in excellent condition during training today.

Maybe it's the reason why the Blazers' morale was boosted by the victory in the last game. In short, everyone on the team is in good shape now. As long as Ricard is more cautious in the next game, the Trail Blazers will have no problem turning the total score into 2-0.

"Okay guys! That's all for today's training! Perform well tomorrow, and I don't want to lose face in front of the home fans!" In order to keep the players from getting too tired, Ricard gave up as soon as it was good and ended the training early. Sometimes training too long is not necessarily a good thing, which is why he and Divac interfered with Anjie's extra training time.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, An Jie joked and joked with his teammates in the locker room. After that, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

So in this pleasant dressing room, An Jie turned on the TV. Today was the day when the Thunder and the Spurs played against each other for the first time in the series. He suddenly wanted to see how the Thunder played this year.

On the TV screen, Westbrook is breaking through with the ball. This guy is still the same as before, brave and direct! But what is different from before is that now Westbrook's scoring efficiency after the breakthrough is much higher.

Since this is the playoffs, the Spurs are unlikely to let Westbrook hit the rim easily. Although Westbrook was overturned by the Spurs' fierce defense time and time again before, he was always able to stand up immediately and then charge again in the next round!

This time is no exception, I saw Westbrook stubbornly carrying Tony Parker away and then flying towards the basket guarded by Boris Diaw.

That's how Westbrook plays, he's always in the habit of throwing himself up first and then thinking about what to do with the ball.

"Russell made another forced layup. This guy with great physical fitness is not afraid of Dior's type of rim protector at all!" As soon as Mike Breen finished speaking, Westbrook and Dior had a physical relationship. touch.

Dior didn't budge, and Westbrook wasn't about to back down. This guy exerted all his strength, he insisted on carrying Dior's "fat" body in the air, and went up to the ball!

After being twisted in the air by the knock, Westbrook fell hard to the ground. But Thunder fans don't care, Westbrook has to fall countless times in a game, but every time, he can get up as quickly as Superman. Some experts are joking that Westbrook's skeleton is made of steel. So for another fall of Westbrook, the fans didn't care. Even An Jie, who was watching the game in the locker room, didn't take it to heart.

A second passed, and Westbrook didn't leap to his feet as one might expect. Hmm...maybe it's because the fall did hurt more.

But five seconds passed, and Westbrook, who fell to the ground, still didn't get up. The Thunder players noticed something was wrong. Jeff Van Gundy and Andrew Morris were the first to rush over and patted Westbrook on the shoulder.

When Morris turned Westbrook's face up, photographers from major media finally captured the distorted expression on Westbrook's face due to severe pain.

"What are you doing!? This guy... this guy must be injured!?" An Jie unconsciously approached the TV, and his move also attracted the attention of his teammates.

"Exit... end! Russell Westbrook, with the support of the staff, walked into the player tunnel! My God, Westbrook, who is known as the steel and iron, is actually injured! Next, the Thunder must be careful! The situation of the whole game changed in an instant!" Mike Breen's surprised tone represented the senior commentator, who did not expect Westbrook to be injured.

This tough guy gives people the impression that he can't be beaten, no matter what method you use, no matter what method you use. Westbrook never goes down, he always gets up off the floor the first second, says something to the sky, and continues the game.

But just now, Westbrook was helped back to the locker room by the staff. This scene is very common in the NBA, but it is not normal at all when it is Westbrook.

"No, no, it's impossible. The team doctor must have made a mistake!" An Jie knew very well that the team doctor of the basketball team could only make a preliminary judgment on a player's condition due to the lack of adequate equipment on the field. Maybe after ten minutes the team doctor felt that it was not serious and would put Westbrook back.

With such a mood, An Jie watched the entire game. But from the beginning to the end, Westbrook did not appear alive and kicking from the player channel as people thought.

"God! Don't be kidding!" Anjie immediately took out his mobile phone, ready to call Westbrook.

Just as he was about to do that, An Jie's cell phone rang. The name on the caller ID was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

"Hey! Russell, tell me, you're all right!" An Jie shouted anxiously into the receiver.

"I...I can't make the appointment, Ann. The doctor said there seems to be a problem with the meniscus in my knee. My playoffs...my playoffs, it's over.. ...."

After listening, An Jie took a breath. Although he couldn't see the picture, An Jie could clearly hear Westbrook's voice laced with a slight cry. This guy wasn't kidding himself.

An Jie's mind went blank, although he was not injured, but the sadness of the sudden end of the dream still made An Jie shed big beads of sweat.

Yesterday, Westbrook was still ambitious and ready to return to the top of the West. But today, he was reimbursed for the season, and Bai had a lot of energy but couldn't display it.

What does it mean to have a broken dream? To be injured in a good playoff situation is simply a huge blow.

"I'm sorry brother, I can't keep my promise." After Westbrook finished speaking, he hung up the phone silently, and buried his head deeply between his arms. No one saw that there were two rows of wet marks on the face of the omnipotent No. 0 defender.

"What's the matter? I just scored a few more goals on your head. As for this." Aldridge, who had just come out of the shower, saw An Jie sitting on the stool with blank eyes, and said Walked over and made fun of it.

But looking at it again, the expressions of the teammates around seemed to be a little wrong. Only then did Aldridge realize that An Jie was not joking with himself!

"We must win tomorrow!" Just as the entire locker room fell into silence, An Jie suddenly said a word under the light, breaking the quiet atmosphere.

"Ah?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, they were already ready for An Jie to scold his mother indiscriminately. After all, Westbrook is An Jie's good brother, and everyone knows this. But no one would have thought that An Jie's first words would be like this.

The playoffs are full of too many surprises, and the longer the game is dragged on, the more likely the surprises will appear.

Anjie didn't want to work hard for a season, only to encounter the same bad luck as Westbrook.

He really didn't dare to imagine whether he could withstand such a blow. It is true that An Jie was reimbursed once in the season, but even those who have experienced it do not have the courage to experience it again!

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone in the Trail Blazers, including himself, is healthy, Anjie must seize the opportunity to win the O'Brien Cup! God knows what will happen if it drags on for another year!

Westbrook's weeping voice still echoed in Anjie's ears, but it didn't just bring heartbreak to Anjie. It also gave An Jie a firmer will!

The world is impermanent, and disasters come as soon as they are said. Only by seizing the current opportunity will An Jie not leave any regrets for himself. That's why An Jie popped up that sentence that people think is nonsensical.

Cherish the present, seize the opportunity, show no mercy, defeat the opponent, and win the championship!

In tomorrow's second game, Anjie will continue to work hard and will never give the Grizzlies any room to breathe.

Westbrook's injury sounded the alarm for Anjie. He can't just be immersed in grief, he must stand up and continue to hit his opponent with a higher attitude! Because Anjie knows that if Westbrook can do it, he will do it too... Find this site and search for "vertex novel 208xs", or please remember this site URL:
