The Way of the Center - Chapter 794
Cauley Stan desperately picked up the basketball from the ground. He can’t remember how many times An Jie has scored on him, but he is sure that An Jie has scored a lot today!
“We rarely see Anhui playing so excited in the preseason stage. In previous preseason games, Anjie only showed a ceremonial face. But today, it is obvious that Anhui is really moving. “Jeff Van Gundy smiled while watching Anjie raging on the court. This kid is very excited about the coming of the new season. When Anjie gets excited, let alone Cauley Stan, even if Cousins is still sleeping in the train arena, there is no way to take Anjie.
While Jeff Van Gundy was still thinking about Anjie’s mind, the commentary partner Mike Brin sitting beside him suddenly yelled.
“Pegboard hat! Virgin Mary! Who will replace this destructive guy!? With Anjie, this game simply can’t be played!” Mike Brin held his head with both hands. He still couldn’t believe what he had just seen on the court.
Darren Collison’s breakthrough is very beautiful, he is quick, decisive, and brave. When Collison was about to start a three-step layup, Anjie was still entangled with Cauley Stein on the other side.
However, this amazing big man did it. He got rid of the entanglement in time and followed Collison, jumped behind a lightning fast guard, and then slammed the orange basketball on the backboard.
After Anjie completed the block, he sent a long pass from the backcourt to attack. Now, the Trail Blazers, who were already good at quick counterattacks, have added another player who is good at converting offense-Paul George.
The rapid advance of George, Lillard and Iguodala tore the Kings’ defense torn apart. In the end, Lillard threw the basketball to the backboard, and then Paul George, who followed him, jumped directly and dunked after receiving the rebounding basketball in the air.
After landing, George looked up and screamed. Such a quick break is rarely seen in the Pacers. This ball is a gift he gave to the Trail Blazers fans!
“It’s too strong. For the Kings, this Trailblazer is too strong. I think everyone on the Trail Blazers is more like acting than playing.”
Kenny Smith is right, this is an exhibition game “carefully prepared” for the new Trailblazers. The cool Kings of Sacramento, they can only become funerals of the strong at their home court.
After George and Lillard’s playful aerial coordination succeeded, the Kings coach Dave Georg finally couldn’t help but call a timeout.
This game is not to be won, but at least it can’t be lost so completely. The Sacramento Kings are, anyhow, an NBA-level team. But looking at the Blazers’ performance, they seem to be playing against a college team, effortlessly.
Seeing Dave Georgel called in a timeout, Ricard also took all the Blazers’ starting lineup.
Angel, Morris, Iguodala, George and Lillard, the scene of the camera is now facing the five neatly seated on the bench. Such a starting lineup, on paper, is scary enough. However, Anjie and the others used today’s game to illustrate a problem, they are not just looking scary.
In the end, confidence has been completely defeated. Even when facing the Trail Blazers’ second team, the Kings did not play any bright moments.
136 to 105, the Trail Blazers defeated the Sacramento Kings by 29 points in the Sleeping Train Arena. After experiencing this turbulent summer, the Trail Blazers seem to let people see the past glory of this team.
After the game, Anjie was stopped by a young reporter before he walked into the player’s passage.
“In the first game after the team went through the trade, you showed a tacit understanding with each other. What do you think of this victory, Mr. An?” The reporter’s voice was trembling, I believe he should be a newcomer. After all, not anyone who talks face-to-face with a superstar like An Jie is relaxed.
“The victory of this game is my notice to the whole league! I’m ready, I’m going to grab the championship!” This time, An Jie was not prevaricating the reporter’s question.
An Jie dare to say such things now, because both he and the team currently have enough strength.
Bloodbath the sleeping train is just a little warm-up. The ambitions of the Trail Blazers don’t stop there.
In the following preseason games, the Trail Blazers have won repeatedly. Paul George and Morris, the two rookies on the team, have nothing to adapt to. They like Anjie, the leader, and they like the Blazers team. Therefore, the speed of these two guys into the team is very fast.
In the end, the Trail Blazers won all preseason victories this season. The “tradition” of preseason wins has also been spread after two years.
But it is clear that there are only a few preseason victories, which cannot satisfy An Jie’s appetite. In the past few days, Anjie will always check the calendar from time to time, and will also watch a lot of game videos related to Aldridge.
His training intensity has become more and more intense, and his attitude has become more and more serious. In confrontational training, even defensive champions like Morris will be sweated profusely by An Jie. This guy is ready, ready to fight a real battle!
In the wall calendar in the team’s locker room, on October 18, An Jie drew a big red circle.
That day was the beginning of the NBA’s new season opener. And inside Anjie’s big red circle, there is a small icon. This icon is the team logo of the San Antonio Spurs.
That’s right, the last game of the day of the NBA opener. The Portland Trail Blazers will play away against the San Antonio Spurs!
It’s no wonder Anjie is so excited to be able to bring this brand new trailblazer to meet Aldridge, his former right-hand man.
Adam Xiao Hua now not only captures the hearts of the fans, but also captures the hearts of An Jie. An Jie was very satisfied with his opponent in the opening match!
A week later, the real battle is about to begin. The new Trail Blazers will officially debut for the first time, but I hope Aldridge is in good shape. Otherwise, the Spurs would lose miserably…
※※※
San Antonio, ATT Center, visiting team changing clothes. An Jie looked at the black No. 21 jersey in his cabinet and was fascinated.
In the 2013-2014 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals, at that time, Aldridge was still standing by his side, and Tim Duncan’s figure did not disappear from the basketball court.
An Jie still remembers that in that game, he and Duncan fought to the end. After a hearty battle, the Trail Blazers finally won the game and advanced to the finals~www.mtlnovel.com~ After the game, Anjie took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Duncan to express himself to Duncan. Respect, also used to commemorate this great battle.
“What are you looking at, kid? Duncan’s jersey? Why did you bring it.” Ricard saw Anjie staring blankly at the cabinet and couldn’t help but leaned forward to take a look.
“This is the jersey that Duncan and I exchanged at the end of the playoffs that year. I don’t know where this guy is fishing now.” An Jie smiled and looked away from the jersey.
Just like the jersey hanging on the ceiling of the ATT center, Duncan can now keep the things in this stadium, only the jersey.
The Spurs have completed the transition of the dynasty, and Aldridge, once his most powerful assistant, is now one of the core of the Spurs. Duncan’s era has become a thing of the past. An Jie has to work harder if he wants to continue to win at the ATT center!
Thinking of this, An Jie turned off his locker. He stood up and looked around.
“Let’s go guys, let’s go to warm up!” An Jie yelled and pushed open the locker room door. Rudy Gay, Pau Gasol, Leonard and one of his best friends, LaMarcus Aldridge…
I have to admit that although it has been very low-key, the Spurs’ lineup this season is also very dazzling.
It is precisely because the Spurs are strong enough that Anjie is so excited today.
Take a good rest, Tim, this time, even if you worry, you won’t be able to save the Spurs.
Aldridge? Sorry, buddy! Victory must belong to the pioneers! I will defeat you just like I defeated Duncan!
An Jie stepped into the court, and the familiar noise rang in his ears. O’Brien Cup, wait! I’m Anjie back! 89
