The Way of the Center

"This is An Jie's second blocked shot today. His ability to control the penalty area is unmatched. Tony Allen's impact is definitely not small, but he still can't escape An Jie's grasp." Yu Jia Shouting excitedly made his face flush with shock.

"Damn! This is a foul, an obvious foul!" Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins roared at the referee in dissatisfaction. Of course, the referee had already made a decision, and he could not change the penalty. The only thing the Grizzlies can get is a throw-in opportunity.

"Don't pay attention to his words, let's keep working hard." Marc Gasol stepped forward to pull Tony Allen up and encouraged his teammates. Gasol knew that Anjie's fierce words were not for showing off, but for hitting the opponent's morale.

"I'm not afraid of him. I've seen worse situations than this!" Tony Allen rubbed his back, which hurt a little from the fall, and didn't shy away from Anjie's fierce gaze.

When he was in the Celtics, Tony Allen was the one who confronted Kobe and won the championship with the team. A mere Anjie, is it rare that he is more difficult than Kobe?

In the 07-08 season, Kobe Bryant's fierce eyes not only did not make Tony Allen flinch, but instead made this guy more and more courageous. After the finals, Kobe also publicly stated: "Tony Allen has done a great job. He is an excellent defender, and I enjoy playing against him."

It can be said that Tony Allen is one of the few shooting guards praised by the proud Kobe. A block is not enough to make people whom Kobe respects can't get up.

Marc Gasol, the tallest Grizzlies player on the court, became the thrower for the inline, and the rest of the Grizzlies began to move, looking for space to receive the ball under tight defense.

In the end, Mike Conley was able to catch the ball out of the three-point line through a subtle back run and Randolph's pick-and-roll.

Meanwhile, Tony Allen quickly cuts inside and raises his hand for a pass to Conley. Allen didn't yell, because he was worried that if he yelled, the Blazers would find the gap. Tony Allen only hoped that Conley Jr. could see himself and pass the ball accurately!

Conley did see Tony Allen cut inside, and the Blazers' defense wasn't quite set up yet because the throw had just been delivered. As long as the ball can be passed in, the Grizzlies will definitely score!

So, Conley turned his head to Prince, as if to give him the pass. But in fact, Conley's hand passed the ball in the opposite direction of Prince.

The Trail Blazers players turned their heads to look, only to realize that Tony Allen had unknowingly cut to the dangerous area on the side of the basket!

Angie immediately dropped Gasol, who was still covering near the three-point line, and immediately sprinted to Tony Allen's position. At the same time, Tony Allen had just caught the basketball and dunked on the spot. This was Tony Allen's way of venting his emotions.

He didn't believe that An Jie could run so fast, and he would definitely be able to dunk the ball in before An Jie took off to block the shot!

Allen clasped the basketball tightly with both hands, and his strong calves exerted force violently. The bulging calf muscles on both legs seemed to be compressed springs, "bouncing" Tony Allen into the air.

Allen tensed every muscle in his body, he was so powerful, if the ball was dunked, it would definitely be a rock-shattering shot!

"Ah!" The Grizzlies perimeter defense gate couldn't help but yelled, the humiliation that An Jie brought to him just now, now, Tony Allen plans to return it intact!

"Snapped!"

"Damn it!" The metal impact of the basket in the fantasy didn't appear, there was only the crisp sound of the basketball being slapped away. Tony Allen yelled and cursed, and the basketball flew out of the baseline again. Behind him was still the tall No. 00 center.

"It's not that I didn't warn you." An Jie looked down at Tony Allen. That's right, just now, An Jie completed another big risk!

"Second block in a row in one play! That's Ahn's style,

If I were Tony Allen, I wouldn't continue to compete with Ann. At this time, choosing outside shots is the best way for the Grizzlies to score. "Mike Breen couldn't believe his eyes. Just now, Anjie's momentum of quickly returning to defense was like a lion protecting his cub.

He didn't care who the attacker was, because no matter who it was, Anjie would tear anyone who dared to break into the restricted area to pieces.

"Actually, the Grizzlies' foul ball coordination has already found the Blazers' defensive gap. Whether it is Tony Allen's cut or Mike Conley's pass, it is very beautiful. But Anjie, always It is a hurdle they cannot avoid. This guy once again saved the team from disaster by himself." Zhang Weiping shook his head, he was not feeling sorry for Tony Allen, but for An Jie Surprised by everything.

An Jie's third block shot appeared just over ten seconds later.

The Grizzlies got another foul shot and now they're all struggling. In the end, follow Hollins' arrangement and continue to cause damage? Or seek an opportunity with an outside shot?

Just when Conley was hesitating, Tony Allen raised his hand for the ball again! But seeing Anjie guarding the basket, Conley did not respond to Tony Allen's request. He beckoned, ready to try one himself.

With the help of Randolph's huge body, the already fast Conley bypassed Lillard without any risk.

Of course, Conley was not stupid enough to think of challenging An Jie's authority again. He has been observing the position of his teammates during the breakthrough with the ball. He hopes to use a breakthrough to score the ball to help the team out of the predicament.

Mike Conley's passing is actually very average, and his passing skills are very simple. But what is commendable is that this guy always has a clear thinking, so he is not easy to make mistakes.

In an instant, Conley caught sight of Marc Gasol sneaking out of the paint. A pass after taking off Anjie and assisting Gasol to score a shot, this idea immediately formed in Conley's mind.

So Conley didn't back down, but took off against An Jie's defense. Marc Gasol is ready to catch the ball, and as soon as the ball arrives, he can shoot it immediately!

However, when Conley and An Jie had physical contact, he realized that he could not pass the ball under such a fierce physical confrontation and An Jie's huge defensive range!

First of all, it is difficult for Conley, who has average confrontation ability, to make moves under the strong contact of Anjie. Second, Angie, with his arms outstretched, made it impossible for Conley to see Gasol's position.

If it was Nash or Paul, the ball might still be an assist. But the above two points made Conley, who is already average in passing ability, at a loss.

With no choice, Conley could only temporarily switch from a pass to a throw in the air. Needless to say, what greeted him was another block from An Jie.

"Fourth block! Ann blocked the Grizzlies offense three times in a row!"

This time, the basketball did not fly out of bounds, but was grabbed by Matthews.

Seeing that the Grizzlies retreated quickly, Matthews did not push the speed, but handed the ball to Iguodala, letting him continue to organize the team's offensive.

The Grizzlies tried three times and failed to score, but the Trail Blazers scored two points after only one attempt.

Aldrie's fiery touch has already made the Grizzlies players very afraid. He is still determined to shoot this time, and Marc Gasol also focuses on blocking and rebounding.

But Aldridge, who made the shooting action, did not make a shot. Instead, he passed the ball over Randolph's head and gave it to Anjie in the form of an inside pass.

Little Gasol was underprepared, when he adjusted his posture to interfere with Anjie. An Jie has already shot the ball with a small hook, and An Jie, who has not been disturbed too much, also calmly scored the ball.

The defensive end is terrifying, and the offensive end is efficient. The omnipotent and unreasonable Anjie seemed to appear in front of Gasol again.

With 12 points, the point difference was further widened. Hollins was very anxious, he kept yelling on the sidelines, and his yelling made the players on the field even more impatient.

After the offense came, neither Conley nor Tony Allen dared to go to the basket rashly. Even if they want to attack, they will choose to attack by shooting. In short, avoiding An Jie is their only criterion.

In order to stabilize the point difference, Conley decided to give the ball to Randolph or Gasol. In short, it is necessary to hit the ball inside and let the two masters of the Grizzlies solve the problem.

Seeing that Randolph was in a good position and raised his hand for the ball, Conley made up his mind and hoisted the ball inside.

Aldridge's good state today made Randolph very angry. The fat man had long wanted to regain some face on the offensive end. Now, the opportunity is in front of him, and Randolph doesn't want to waste it.

He took advantage of his weight and slammed back, and Aldridge was knocked back. But as soon as the guy turned around to shoot, he found that An Jie was jumping up with teeth and claws!

"Damn it!" Randolph didn't expect Anjie's defense to be so fast. In fact, it was Marc Gasol's negligence. If he had successfully entangled Anjie, Randolph would not have encountered so much trouble.

Interferenced by Anjie, Randolph's short-range shot knocked out of the frame. However, due to Anjie's full take-off to block the block, he failed to get stuck. This time, Gasol also got the opportunity to compete for offensive rebounds.

Gasol jumped high and grabbed the rebound before Anjie. However, as soon as he landed, Anjie slammed up fiercely, which made Gasol very uncomfortable.

But seeing himself so close to the basket, Gasol was unwilling to give up. He went straight up, trying to get the ball into the basket.

Unfortunately, the basketball still didn't fall into the net. But luckily, Gasol shot too hard and let the ball fly within his control once again.

Gasol took off again, this time, he planned to make a tip-up! If you attack after landing, Anjie's defense will only make the attack more difficult. Putting up the basket is the best scoring option. Opportunities appear one after another, they can't continue to squander them recklessly!

Just thinking about it, Marc Gasol caught the rebound as he wished. At the same time, this guy changed his hand movement, he wanted to shoot directly the moment he caught the rebound!

An Jie, who was jumping to fight for a rebound, saw the subtle changes in Gasol's hands. The guy immediately opened his palms and slapped Gasol all over his face.

Gasol pushed the ball back, but in less than a second, An Jie's big hand slapped the basketball back!

"Impossible! How did he do it!" It's not uncommon for Marc Gasol to encounter things like blocked shots and putbacks. But he may never have imagined in his life that this kind of thing would happen to him!

Anjie and Gasol both landed, while Lillard received a fanned basketball and launched a quick counterattack.

Gasol didn't participate in the defense because he knew that the Blazers' fast break was a certainty.

Sure enough, Iguodala ended the fast break with a signature tomahawk split. Everything comes back to square one, and it's the Grizzlies' offense again. But now, the Grizzlies have almost exhausted even the courage to attack.

"It was an intense inside melee battle! Ann blocked the offense of Randolph and Gasol three times in a row, and the last time, he ended everything with a blocked shot!"

"I have to remind everyone that this is the fifth time An has blocked shots in this game! And the confrontation in the second quarter of this game is not over yet!" Speaking of this, the commentators immediately began to look up Set nb's single-game block record and playoffs single-game block record. God knows who this guy in the No. 00 jersey will surpass on those lists today...  

Looking at An Jie's serious expression, one can tell that the shadow of terror has not yet planned to dissipate. Find this site and search for "Apex Novels 208xs", or please remember the URL of this site:
