The Way of the Center - Chapter 802
With 30 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Kyrie Irving is now the leader of the Celtics. His statistics are worthy of the 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 had hoped to win a victory here. But…they did a great defensive job, and every one of our offenses was particularly difficult. Both me and the team must get better. , In order to win the next meeting.” Irving did not mention his own data in an interview with reporters, but put the Blazers defense first.
This is not the first time Irving has typed gorgeous data. What he wants more now is not personal data, but victory.
The Celtics’ lineup is strong enough, but I didn’t expect that in front of the Trail Blazers, the gap is still so obvious.
Owen walking in the player channel couldn’t help clenching his fists, Moda Center, this **** place, Owen would take it down sooner or later!
Unlike the lifeless Celtics, the Trail Blazers after the victory are exceptionally relaxed. At the press conference that night, Andrew Morris once again became one of the focus of reporters’ attention after many years.
In Oklahoma, Westbrook and Durant were always the two most dazzling stars, and Morris could only contribute silently to the Thunder. In Portland, Anjie’s aura will not fade, but he can also illuminate the people around him.
In this game, when An Jie focused on the middle distance, Morris’s ability to protect the basket made all the fans shine.
It can be said that without Morris, the Blazers’ defense today would not have been so successful. Before the start of the season, people were worried about whether Morris, with rough offensive skills, could help Anjie share the pressure.
Now, this question has been answered. Morris’s offense is indeed not enough to see, but this does not prevent him from becoming Anjie’s right-hand man.
“I said long ago that this guy is one of the best players in the league. It’s just that everyone’s attention is drawn to people who can score better. In fact, the job of preventing others from scoring is just as great!” At the meeting, An Jie also praised his good brother greatly.
As a result, Morris, who has always been tepid, suddenly became one of Portland’s most popular guys.
In addition to Anjie’s No. 00 jersey and Lillard’s No. 0 jersey, Morris’s No. 99 jersey turned out to be the Trailblazers’ best-selling one so far this season. This number even exceeds Paul George. It can also be seen how popular Morris is in Portland.
On the second day after the game, many media exclaimed loudly. Nell Orsi won Morris for only two years at a price of 20 million yuan, which is a magical stroke!
However, Orsi knew that all this was not his own credit. Had it not been for Anjie, the Trail Blazers would most likely still be empty-handed this summer.
In short, the victory over the Celtics has once again caused a black and red whirlwind in the entire basketball world. Even the Cavaliers and Warriors, two teams that have played in the Finals for two consecutive years, have only moved back in recent days.
Stephen Curry feels like he has gone back a few years ago. At that time, Anjie was a superstar, and he was just a young defender who yearned for honor. At that time, the most reported news in the entire league was the Blazers and Anjie.
Now, time seems to be turning backwards. The only difference is that this trailblazer team seems to be even stronger than it was in the past!
The Celtics did not stop the Trail Blazers’ winning streak. On the contrary, the morale of the Trail Blazers players was even higher than before when they played against the Celtics.
They advanced all the way and defeated one opponent after another.
The soldiers of the Torn City stepped on their feet once again after two years.
Time has come to December 3, on this day, the NBA officially announced the winner of the November Western Conference Player of the Year Award.
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 reproduce the miracle of winning the Player of the Month award for the next season.
Anjie is not very excited about regaining the Western Conference Player of the Month award. Personal honor already seemed so painless to An Jie.
After all, Anjie is the only player in NBA history who can win double MVP awards for three consecutive years. The best in a month is not worth mentioning in front of these honors.
Compared to trophies, Anjie now cares more about the team’s performance. Today, the Blazers will face the rebuilding Miami Heat at the American Airlines Center. If the Trail Blazers win this game, they will break the Warriors’ record and become the team with the perfect start in the NBA and the entire North American Sports League.
Hassan Whiteside, the strong young center became the last “line of defense” to prevent An Jie from making history, and the duel between the new-generation star center and An Jie was also a hot topic for fans.
It’s just the process of the game and the final result that surprised all reporters.
“Whiteside turned the hook, and still didn’t! 2 of 13, Whiteside has already made the 13th shot, but he only scored six points! Oh my God, I really can’t believe Pat . Riley sent Wade away in the first place to help such a guy up. Perhaps in this era of lack of insiders in the league, Whiteside can shine in front of many teams. But when he meets Anjie, Whiteside will do it. Like a child at a loss!” Mike Brin couldn’t help shook his head when he saw Anjie guarding Whiteside from crying.
To say that Whiteside is a new-generation center is actually somewhat inappropriate. This guy is actually ten days older than Anjie, and he has briefly entered the league in 10 years. It’s just that he got hot, it was 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 bit short.
Anjie’s defense made Whiteside almost completely misfired on the offensive end, while Whiteside’s defense did not make Anjie’s shooting rate drop significantly. That sentence is correct. No player in this league can defend An Jie in a one-on-one situation, not even Whiteside.
In this way, the Trail Blazers used a crushing stance to achieve a big victory at the American Airlines Center~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the last era when the Trail Blazers crushed the league, the American Airlines Center often played the hardest. Battlefield. The 11-12 season, the year Anjie won the championship for the first time. He even reached the final second of the tie-break at the American Airlines Center before finally deciding the winner.
But now, without the Heat of Wade and James, they can’t bring pressure to An Jie at all. The American Airlines Center, from your hardest battlefield back then, has become the cradle for Anjie to celebrate his victory.
“Starting with a 25-game winning streak! My God! In the entire North American Sports League, no professional team can make this start! The Warriors’ 24 winning streak start the previous season is already the best in NBA history. Record! And, people even say that this is probably one of the hardest records in NBA history to be broken! But, take a look. Just two years later, the Portland Trail Blazers turned that record into History! Anjie and his team are absolutely epoch-making!” When the game ended, the whole world was amazed by the achievements of the Blazers.
What does it mean to start a 25-game winning streak, it means that the Trail Blazers have almost won 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 will become one of the classics of the NBA in the future. Because Morris used a humorous way to express Anjie’s ability to become an echelon alone.
The huge gap between Whiteside and Anjie allowed the Trail Blazers to easily break this terrifying historical record.
People can hardly imagine what the Blazers will achieve if they continue to fight like this. For the Trail Blazers, their performance is not capped!
