The Way of the Center

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

"Ah cut!" Popovich, who was studying the game video in the hotel, suddenly sneezed. This guy didn't know that the group of people in the Moda Center were already talking about him.

Unlike the Trail Blazers, the very old Spurs can't carry out high-intensity training anytime and anywhere. For GDP, rest is more effective than training. However, not training does not mean that the Spurs will sit still.

Popovich has long woken up in his room to watch the Trail Blazers game tape, any team has weaknesses, even if this team has just achieved 72 regular season wins. The key is whether Popovich can grasp the weakness of the Trail Blazers.

After lunch later, Popovich will convene the team for a tactical meeting. After that, he will arrange for the team to conduct some training.

Although the way of preparing for the game is completely different, both teams are taking each other very seriously now. The Trail Blazers hope to pull back a city at home, and the Spurs want to grab two wins in Portland.

No matter who wants to achieve his goal, he must put in enough effort.

The NBA is such a stage, no matter how much you have achieved before, no matter who the winner of the previous game is. Before the start of each game, everyone stands on the same starting line!

The hard-working Trail Blazers and the brainstorming Spurs are still preparing for the second game between the two sides. No one knows what will happen on the basketball court. Now they are doing it to minimize the occurrence of emergencies .

Although the Eastern Conference finals are also very exciting, but I have to admit that more fans' eyes are on the second game between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers.

Even the best teams need constant evolution. The evolved Trail Blazers and Spurs are bound to bring even more crazy performances to the fans...

※※※

Catherine and Moslav are sitting behind the Trail Blazers bench in the Moda Center, and with them, there are senior Nike executives who came to watch the game.

Nike can't wait to start the development of the third generation of Center Forward, and they are also here to discuss this matter with Muslav and An Jie. If Anjie can win the championship this season, they even want to launch a second-generation sneaker with a limited edition for the championship.

In a word, the great sales of the Way of the Center series have given Nike and Anjie a win-win situation. But the business matters are left to Meslav to handle.

An Jie has only one goal now, and that is to beat the Spurs on this basketball court of his own!

From the locker room to the field, from warm-up to game preparation. During the whole process, Anjie was yelling loudly, constantly exciting his teammates.

Usually, these things are done by Ricard, and Anjie only needs to keep his head down and practice well. But now, in order to protect Ricard from the disease, Anjie replaced Ricard and became the team's microphone. Of course, this constant urging also made An Jie more like a leader.

"There is still time, let's shoot another round! Come one by one, everyone has to shoot again!" Under the leadership of An Jie, the Trail Blazers players started an orderly warm-up practice of shooting. Even Popovich, on the other side of the floor, had to be impressed by Ainger's leadership. After all, in today's league, how many young teams are still warming up so well? Popovich won't be surprised by what the Blazers can accomplish with such a leader.

"Tim, it seems that tonight, the defending champion is going to get serious." Ginobili was chatting with Duncan while shooting.

"We are not bad." Duncan simply responded to such a sentence, but this sentence made Ginobili feel very comfortable after hearing it. Duncan, like Anjie, is the backbone of every team. If Duncan is stable, the Spurs will be stable!

During the warm-up phase, the cheers in the Moda Center had already made the players' ears numb. In the stands, the fans either held the big head of Anjie or held various encouraging slogans, decorating the whole stadium colorfully.

The atmosphere of the war is already warm enough, now, just wait for the war itself to quickly open!

"How are you preparing?" Under the instruction of the referee, the players from both sides began to move closer to the center circle. Duncan looked at An Jie expressionlessly, but suddenly spoke.

"It's enough to make you sweat." An Jie smiled and jumped twice excitedly.

Ricard has stood on the sidelines from the very beginning. There should be no problem with the team's current mentality. In terms of tactics, Ricard has also made a lot of targeted arrangements.

Can the Blazers keep a home court? What Ricard can do has been done, now, it's all up to them!

The referee whistled, and Anjie and Split jumped up at the same time. But without any suspense, the basketball was photographed by Lillard in Lillard's hands.

Popovich doesn't care about this, the Trail Blazers get the ball first, and they have to be able to break the Spurs' defense!

When the Frenchman Parker posted it to Lillard, he found that the concentration of the zero guard in front of him was very different from the previous game.

Lillard handles the ball very carefully, and he knows that the only way to win against the Spurs is to grind them slowly. If you are impatient, you will fall into the defensive trap that Popovich has set long ago.

Lillard separated himself from Parker with one hand, and kept tapping the basketball with the other. At this moment, Aldridge's pick and roll was in place, Lillard took a step back, and then suddenly accelerated!

Even an experienced guy like Tony Parker couldn't match the speed of Lillard's first step and had no time to react.

A gust of wind blew past the Frenchman, and when he subconsciously moved laterally to block it, he found himself bumping into Aldridge abruptly.

Lillard broke through, and the Spurs' defense shrunk a bit, but everyone stayed in place. In this way, even if Lillard can pass the ball, the person who catches the ball may not necessarily get a chance.

Splitter stood in front of Lillard, and he became the only obstacle between Lillard and Anjie. But as long as he is there, Lillard will never pass the ball to Anjie!

Just when Lillard stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, he suddenly flicked his wrist, and the basketball passed through Split's crotch, and was firmly delivered to Anjie!

"What!?" Splitter turned around in disbelief. He didn't expect Lillard to choose this unconventional way to pass the ball. He didn't even expect that An Jie could actually catch it.

An Jie has already raised the basketball with both hands at this time, jumping up and preparing to dunk. If Splitter blocks it, it will be of no use except to apply for a foul for himself.

Just like that, Split watched helplessly as An Jie completed dunks on his head with both hands. After scoring, Anjie and Lillard clapped hard. Although this goal was very unconventional, the Trail Blazers still took the lead in scoring.

Popovich can also see that the consciousness of the Trail Blazers players is completely different from before. In the past, the Trail Blazers only needed to play one by one to beat the Rockets and the Mavericks.

But now, the ignorant singles obviously don't apply to the Spurs. Therefore, Ricard also emphasized that players should share the ball more.

On the first ball, Lillard and Anjie faithfully implemented Ricard's request. But offense alone is useless, and the Blazers' defense must also withstand the impact of the Spurs.

Parker's ball control seems to be much more stable than Lillard's. After all, Lillard is a more aggressive No. 1 position, while Parker is a real organizer.

After a series of delicate moves and pick-and-rolls, Parker was able to drive to the basket. Although the "French Little Sports Car" was injured in the last game against the Thunder, this guy is still in excellent form.

His nimble breakthrough made it impossible for Anjie to ignore him. As soon as Tony Parker jumped up, Anjie jumped up behind the Frenchman.

Parker's vision was terrifying, and when he caught a glimpse of An Jie and himself jumping at the same time from the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

If An Jie followed him, it would prove that Duncan was empty!

Parker didn't think much about it. He turned into a pass in the air, intending to create a chance for Duncan with a breakthrough pass that he was good at!

Duncan, who followed, caught the basketball steadily, without hesitation, and immediately jumped up to dunk!

Popovich looked at Duncan soaring into the air, and was already planning to shake his fist to celebrate this beautiful goal.

Duncan is staring at the basket. This year is the best chance for the Spurs to win the championship. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will have to wait. He must grasp it! Seize this opportunity that may be the last championship in your career!

Just when Duncan was about to put the basketball into the frame, An Jie suddenly appeared! This guy bared his teeth and claws, raised his arms, and slapped him hard!

Duncan continued to exert force with his fingers, but the basketball still escaped his control and was sent flying.

"Terrifying secondary reaction speed! An just took off with Parker, but he immediately blocked Duncan after landing! This guy's defensive ability is really terrifying!" Accompanied by Mike Brin's shout , The fans of the entire Moda Center finally found a breakthrough to release their emotions.

"You can't jump anymore Tim, don't try to play this kind of young people's moves." After blocking the shot, An Jie smiled and teased Duncan. Indeed, apart from Anjie's quick reaction to the ball just now, Duncan's poor bullet speed and jump height were also one of the reasons why his dunk was blocked.

A goal that was almost bound to be scored was wasted by Duncan himself. At this moment, even Duncan could not feel the cruelty of time.

The basketball that was blown out fell into the hands of Matthews by accident. Matthews quickly pushed forward with the ball without thinking about it.

The biggest surprise for the Spurs this season is Leonard sticking behind Matthews like a brown candy, but Matthews' real purpose is not to lay up, but to score the ball!

During the dribble, Matthews suddenly threw the ball to the left, and Lillard, who ran to the left corner, caught the ball and shot it.

Fans throughout the Moda Center raised their hands, ready to celebrate the joy of the goal. However, Lillard's open three-pointer was accidentally wiped out!

Leonard is in position, ready to grab the rebound. Choosing to shoot three-pointers during a fast break is really not a safe approach.

The basketball began to fall, and Leonard was ready to take off. At that moment, Leonard felt that he was pressed by something, unable to move.

In the next second, Leonard could only hear the sound of metal collisions from the basket, and of course, the roar of the Moda Center like a volcanic eruption!

"It's Ann! He saved Lillard's missed shot, and this guy made a flying dunk through Leonard! Oh my god, Anjie looked unstoppable today!"

Duncan couldn't help but secretly sighed when he saw that An Jie could quickly run across the half court and take off to make another dunk after just blocking himself.

It's good to be young.

The excited An Jie did a pull-up on the basket before he was willing to land. After landing, he first hammered his chest, and then gave the audience a thumbs up. 4 to 0, three wonderful shots. From the very beginning, Anjie showed the boundless vitality he gained from excitement.

ready or Not? The Kings of Portland are back! He is still unwilling to give up his land like this!

Popovich wants to win big in Portland? Alright, then try to snatch the victory from An Jie himself! Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
