The Way of the Center

"Get out of my place, Mike!" Angie yelled in a low voice, startling Conley.

And those Grizzlies fans who stood up from their seats with their arms raised raised their mouths and stayed where they were. For them, time seems to have stopped now.

After the basketball hit the backboard and bounced out, Tony Allen's desperate fight allowed the Grizzlies to stabilize possession again. But this time the block was still a blow to the morale of the Grizzlies.

"Ann's block is very good, such a high ball may only be able to reach it."

"Although it was Iguodala's defense that slowed down Conley's pace, which allowed Angie to catch up with Conley. But to be honest, even with Iguodala's help, this block is really not easy!"

"For a guy who can catch LeBron James in the face, what is this kind of block to him?"

The Grizzlies were still attacking, but for a while, all the commentators put the topic on Anjie's block.

Mike Conley swallowed his saliva, ran out of the penalty area in despair, and came to the three-point line to resume the attack with the ball.

That terrifying sense of oppression, that extremely strong deterrent. Anjie's blocking and yelling just now made Mike Conley fearful of the Trail Blazers' three-second zone.

"Haha, this kid is getting more and more decent." Divac grinned from ear to ear on the sidelines. Now An Jie is getting closer and closer to the perfect center in his mind. The stunned young man who defeated Michael Beasley in n back then really didn't let Divac take his eyes off him.

Conley observed the ball from the outside for a long time, but still couldn't decide the team's tactics. Now his mind is full of An Jie, and his mind is full of the phrase "get out of my place".

"Mike!" Mike Conley didn't wake up until Marc Gasol yelled.

Seeing that the attack time was running out, Conley passed the ball inside without thinking, hoping that Marc Gasol would solve all the problems.

But this careless pass simply couldn't pass through the crowd and fly into the hands of Gasol Jr. Iguodala intercepted the basketball easily, and the Trail Blazers immediately invested in the transition of offense and defense.

Tony Allen is very fast, and he has been biting Iguodala who is advancing with the ball. But no matter how powerful Allen is, he is still alone. The rapid advancement of Iguodala and Lillard is a two-on-one situation.

Tony Allen had no choice but to continue to interfere behind Iguodala. Seeing that Tony Allen was unyielding to himself, Iguodala threw the ball directly into the air.

"Is this guy crazy!?" Tony Allen looked at the throwing basketball with doubts in his heart.

However, in the next second, Damian Lillard "flyed" straight up and down as if a spring had been stepped on the sole of his foot.

The No. 0 little man successfully caught Iguodala's pass with a jaw-dropping bounce, and then he pressed the ball into the basket with one hand!

After landing, Lillard excitedly yelled at the audience. This guy's jumping ability brought the rose garden's sound to a climax again!

Before playing a few rounds in the opening game, the Grizzlies were stunned. They always blame An Jie's unreasonable performance for the failure of the last game. But today, Anjie didn't make a shot, but the Blazers' offense was still impressive.

An Jie is also very pleased to see that his teammates can solve the offensive problem by themselves, so that An Jie can devote more energy to defense.

Aldridge's good state of scoring goals on Anjie's head has been shown in the game, and Anjie's super defense inspired by Aldridge is just a budding one.

For the rest of the first quarter, Mike Conley gradually regained his sanity. He still uses his breakthroughs and wonderful passes to help the Grizzlies play as efficiently as possible on the offensive end. On the Blazers side, Aldridge's fiery touch made Randolph lose his temper!

As Anjie said, he can block Aldridge, but Randolph can't. The scene is so controlled by the Blazers,

Until the two sides gradually replaced the second team.

Fisher's sophistication made the offense of the Trail Blazers' second team still stable, but on the Grizzlies' side, without Conley and Gasol, their good offense disappeared in an instant.

There's nothing Lionel Hollins can do about it, he can't risk getting his starter out early. This guy can only pray, pray that the time of the first quarter is over soon.

When the red light on the backboard finally came on, the Grizzlies players also got a temporary relief. However, the score of 23 to 33 is destined to make the Grizzlies suffer more in the following games.

It is said that the Grizzlies' defense is the weapon they rely on for survival, but judging from the performance of the first quarter, the Blazers' spears seem to be sharper.

Throughout the first quarter, Anjie only took two shots and scored four points. But even so, the Blazers still achieved a double-digit lead. The statement that the Blazers only rely on Anjie's outbreak to win is naturally self-defeating.

"Aggression! I want you to play more aggressively! Don't just think about shooting to solve the problem, you can't win the game just by shooting! Appropriate breakthroughs, creating kills. When Ann and Aldridge are troubled by fouls , the Trail Blazers will break through!" Hollins' loud voice didn't stop during the intermission.

In contrast to the Blazers' bench, Ricard just "elegantly" drew tactics among the players. He is not the one to be anxious, the calmer he is, the more fearful Hollins will be.

"Marc Gasol scored eight points in the first quarter, and I know it's because Mike Conley's pass gave him a lot of open shots. But Ann, I don't want to see that happen again. I want you to put pressure on Mark, can you do it?" Ricard didn't want Anjie's defense to go to this level.

"Don't worry, I will treat him like defending LaMarcus." Angie smiled, and at the same time, the whistle for the start of the second quarter was also blown by the referee.

Maybe the Grizzlies don't know yet, this whistle is a declaration of their death.

At the beginning, the Grizzlies implemented Hollins' tactics. Tony Allen made a tough breakthrough with the ball. Anjie didn't evade, but he didn't succeed in defending either. Tony Allen made it to the free throw line and drew a foul on Anjie.

"That's it, that's it!" Hollins applauded vigorously. In order to deal with the Blazers, he had already thought of countless ways and changed countless tactics. I hope this change can save the team.

Although Tony Allen didn't shoot very well, he still brought two points for the Grizzlies this time with free throws.

"Ann! Where's your defense!? Damn it!" Ricard yelled dissatisfiedly from the sidelines. He didn't want his penalty area to become a paradise for the Grizzlies.

"Okay, old man, I see." An Jie waved his hand indifferently. Tony Allen's strong and violent breakthrough just now caught An Jie by surprise. After all, the Grizzlies' previous offense was not so aggressive.

But this kind of unprepared way of playing can only cause An Jie to suffer once. The Grizzlies players are still complacent, but they don't know that a terrible nightmare is about to spread over the Rose Garden.

With the successful example just now, the Grizzlies are full of confidence this time.

Strong Tony Allen once again receives a pass from Conley. At the same time, Randolph's tacit first block, before Wesley Matthews could react, Allen suddenly broke through with the ball.

Matthews took a step, but bumped into Randolph's fat man abruptly. Tony Allen rushed to the penalty area again. He looked at Anjie's position, and it was a little forward. It was a good opportunity to draw a foul!

"You fucking don't understand, do you!?" Seeing that the outside player entered the penalty area with the ball again, An Jie was furious.

Indeed, the current nb league is already dominated by small players. Even the shortest point guard dares to rush to the basket and score.

The average level of the league's center forwards is too poor, which is a fact that even Angie must bear. It was also because of this that everyone dared to ride on top of the big man.

But An Jie is the representative of the highest level of centers in this league! The restricted area is the battlefield for the big guys, and other idlers are not allowed to enter!

Tony Allen leaned against An Jie, but this time, Allen felt that the pressure An Jie put on him was more than doubled.

Of course, An Jie came prepared this time. Otherwise, does Tony Allen really think he can handle An Jie?

But Tony Allen didn't back down, he didn't care how strong Anjie's confrontation was. As long as he can cause a foul, he will win this attack!

Thinking of this, Tony Allen began to make a three-step layup under extremely difficult circumstances. If LeBron James saw this scene, he would definitely admire Tony Allen's courage.

Allen stood up and tried his best to lean on An Jie. But An Jie didn't stretch out his hand indiscriminately. He calmly supported Tony Allen. At the same time, he saw the right moment with his right hand and suddenly slapped the ball in Allen's hand!

The referee was not far from the two of them, and he stared at these two desperate guys. As soon as An Jie committed a foul, he would immediately blow his whistle.

"I said, this is mine! Land! Disk!" Accompanied by a loud roar, An Jie exerted all his force. Tony Allen felt overwhelmed in an instant, he lost all his focus, let alone scoring a goal, it was very difficult for Tony Allen to keep himself from falling.

However, what is even more desperate is that Tony Allen has never heard the referee's whistle.

Until the basketball in his hand was slammed by An Jie, until he fell to the ground in embarrassment, the whistle for help still did not appear.

The basketball flew straight into the auditorium, and almost all the fans stood up, cheering for An Jie's block.

An Jie, who was soaring with adrenaline, made a gesture of the gun with his hand, and then he put the "muzzle" to his mouth and blew gently.

"God! I fucking love you!"

"Ann! You are our king!"

"I'm going to give you a baby!"

Anjie's domineering and handsome celebration made the fans almost crazy.

Tony Allen stood up in embarrassment, only to find that An Jie was staring at him now.

"The ball is still yours. If you dare, you are welcome to come again!" Anjie put down his harsh words, and Ricard watched everything on the field with satisfaction.

Anjie's defense was already very good. Now that he is inspired by Aldridge, it's better for a smart person not to lean towards the penalty area.

Two consecutive terrifying blocks beat Conley and Allen to nowhere. Do you think this is the end? No, this is just a prologue. Find this site and search for "Apex Novels 208xs", or please remember the URL of this site:
