The Way of the Center

Chapter 802: The First Echelon of One Person

With 30 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Kyrie Irving is the current leader of the Celtics. His statistics are definitely worthy of those fans who are looking forward to it.

But after the game, Irving, who scored the highest score in the game, couldn't laugh at all.

"Unfortunately, we would have liked to have gotten a win here. But... they did a great job defending and every attack we had was tough. Me and the team had to get better Only then can we win in the next meeting.” When Irving was interviewed by reporters, he didn’t mention his own data, but put the Blazers’ defense first.

It is not the first time Irving has played gorgeous data. What he desires now is not personal data, but victory.

The Celtics' lineup is already strong enough, but they didn't expect that in front of the Trail Blazers, the gap was still so obvious.

Irving, who was walking in the player tunnel, couldn't help clenching his fists. Moda Center, this damn place, Irving will take it down sooner or later!

Unlike the lifelessness of the Celtics, the Blazers were extraordinarily relaxed after winning. At the press conference that night, Andrew Morris once again became one of the focuses of reporters after many years.

When he was in Oklahoma, Westbrook and Durant were always the two most dazzling stars, and Morris could only silently contribute to the Thunder. In Portland, although Anjie's aura will not fade, he can also illuminate the people around him.

In this game, when Anjie focused on the mid-range, Morris's ability to protect the basket made all fans shine.

It can be said that without Morris, the Blazers' defense would not be so successful today. Before the start of the season, people were worried about whether Morris, who had rough offensive skills, could help Anjie share the pressure.

Now, this question has been answered. Morris's offense is indeed not good enough, but this does not prevent him from becoming Angie's right-hand man.

"I have said a long time ago that this guy is one of the best players in the league. It's just that everyone's attention is attracted to people who can score better. In fact, the work of preventing others from scoring is equally great!" The reporter released At the meeting, An Jie also greatly praised his good brother.

With this, Morris, whose popularity has been tepid, suddenly became one of the most popular guys in Portland.

In addition to Anjie's No. 00 jersey and Lillard's No. 0 jersey, Morris' No. 99 jersey has become the best-selling piece of the Trail Blazers so far this season. This number even surpassed Paul George. It can also be seen how popular Morris is in Portland.

The day after the game ended, many media outlets exclaimed loudly. Neil Orsey took over Morris with a price of 20 million in just two years, which is simply a stroke of magic!

However, Orsi knew that all this was not his own credit. If it weren't for Anjie, the Trail Blazers would most likely still be empty-handed this summer.

In short, the victory over the Celtics caused a black and red whirlwind to blow up the entire basketball world again. Even the Cavaliers and Warriors, the two teams that have played in the finals for two consecutive years, have only been able to retreat to the back row in recent days.

Stephen Curry feels like he has returned to a few years ago these days. At that time, Angie was a superstar, and he was just a young guard eager for glory. At that time, the news about the Blazers and Anjie was the most reported in the entire league.

Now, time seems to be reversed. The only difference is that this Trail Blazers team seems to be even stronger than before!

The Celtics did not stop the Blazers' winning streak. On the contrary, after playing against the Celtics, the morale of the Blazers players was even higher than before.

They triumphed all the way, defeating opponents one after another.

After two years, the soldiers of the City of Torn,

Once again trampled the entire league under its feet.

The time has come to December 3rd. On this day, the NBA officially announced the winner of the Western Conference Player of the Year Award in November.

On the west side, Anjie won the award again. Although it is only the first month, the media have begun to boldly predict that Anjie is likely to repeat the miracle of winning the player of the month award for all seasons that year.

Angie wasn't too excited about regaining the Western Conference Player of the Month award. To An Jie, things like personal honor seemed so painless.

After all, Anjie is the only player in NBA history who can win double MVPs for three consecutive years. Compared with these honors, the best one month is not worth mentioning at all.

Compared with trophies, Anjie now cares more about the team's results. Today, the Trail Blazers will face the rebuilding Miami Heat at the American Airlines Center. If the Trail Blazers win this game, they will break the record of the Warriors and become the team with the most perfect start in the NBA and even the entire North American sports league.

Hassan Whiteside, this strong young center became the last "line of defense" to prevent Anjie from making history, and the duel between the new generation star center and Anjie was also heated up by the fans.

It's just the process of the game and the final result that surprised all reporters.

"Whiteside turned around and hooked, still no! 2 of 13, Whiteside is already the thirteenth shot, but he only scored six points! My God, I really can't believe Pat Riley sent Wade away at the beginning to help such a guy. Maybe in this era when the league lacks insiders, Whiteside can shine in front of many teams. But when he meets Anjie, Whiteside is You're at a loss like a child!" Seeing Anjie defending Whiteside to the point of crying, Mike Brin couldn't help shaking his head.

It is actually not appropriate to say that Whiteside is a new generation center. This guy is actually ten days older than An Jie, and he has entered the league for a short time in ten years. It's just that he became popular in the last two years.

As an insider who relies more on good physical conditions to play, Whiteside's upper limit may only be so much. He has indeed been able to deal with most insiders in this league, and his defense is enough to make the Heat's three-second zone a no-fly zone. But facing Anjie, Whiteside was more than a star behind.

Anjie's defense made Whiteside almost completely misfired on the offensive end, but Whiteside's defense failed to significantly reduce Anjie's shooting percentage. That sentence is true, no player in this league can guard Anjie one-on-one, not even Whiteside.

In this way, the Trail Blazers won a big victory at the American Airlines Center with a crushing attitude. In the last era when the Trail Blazers crushed the league, the American Airlines Center was often the most difficult battlefield for Anjie. In the 11-12 season, Anjie won the championship for the first time. He even fought until the last second of the tiebreaker at the American Airlines Center before finally deciding the winner.

But now, without Wade and James, the Heat can't put pressure on Anjie at all. The American Airlines Center has also changed from your most difficult battlefield back then to the cradle where Anjie celebrated his victory.

"Starting 25 consecutive victories! My God! In the entire North American sports league, no professional team can achieve such a start! The Warriors' 24-game winning streak started the previous season, which is already the best in NBA history. record! And, people even say, it has a good chance of being one of the hardest records in NBA history to break! But look. Just two years later, the Portland Trail Blazers turned that record into History! Anjie and his team are definitely epoch-making existences!" When the game ended, the whole world was amazed at the achievements of the Trail Blazers.

What it means to start a 25-game winning streak means that the Blazers have won almost a third of the games this season. Moreover, this record is likely to continue to rise.

"I'm the best defensive inside player on the planet! Ann? Ann is an alien!" Morris said in an interview with reporters, which has become one of the classics of the NBA in the future. Because Morris used a humorous way to express Anjie's level of strength in an echelon alone.

The huge gap between Whiteside and Anjie allowed the Trail Blazers to easily break this horrible historical record.

People really can't imagine what kind of results the Trail Blazers will achieve if they continue to play like this. For the Trail Blazers, their performance is not capped!
