The Way of the Center - Chapter 813

An Jie took off straight, but when he noticed that the trajectory of the basketball was different from what he had expected, he changed his center of gravity in a daze, then leaned back, and then took advantage of his wingspan to click the basketball that popped into the frame. Inside.

Once again, CCTV rebroadcast this scene of Anjie’s lore on the Rockets. And all the Chinese fans are not tired of it. Even if this picture has been broadcast on CCTV hundreds of times, Chinese fans will still cheer and scream for this lore.

“It’s **** beautiful, how did you do it, Ann?” During training, George, who watched the video on his mobile phone, once again enjoyed the scene of Anjie’s lore. In other words, I can be considered a part of this lore.

“God knows how I did it. I just wanted to win at the time, that’s all.” An Jie stretched out his hand with a towel. The desire for victory prompted An Jie to touch basketball despite everything.

“At the time, everyone must have thought that we were dead, but you gave me such a shot. You really belonged to you!” Morris also stood up and got close to George. This kind of ball, Morris felt that he might not be able to hit it for the rest of his life. .

“Okay guys, you seem to be very happy being driven into a desperate situation by the Rockets. In the next game, I don’t want us to rely on a lore to win. My heart can’t stand it.” Ricard finished speaking and blew his whistle.

The players stood up one by one and continued to devote themselves to training. The playoffs are like this, even if you have just won a beautiful victory, there is not much time for you to be happy and celebrate.

The battle always comes one after another, and there is no room for sloppyness. Unless they are eliminated or survive to the end, in the playoffs, the nerves of the players cannot be relaxed for a moment. Even if you have just completed a lore, you must prepare wholeheartedly for the next game.

※※※

It’s been a day since the first game of the Trail Blazers playoffs, but Anjie’s popularity with the Rockets has not declined at all.

On the same day, it was not just An Jie who was born as a winner. Westbrook and Anthony made a good start, and the Golden State Warriors also easily defeated their opponents. The Cavaliers led by James also won the first game.

However, no matter who it is, their popularity is far less than that of An Jie. After the strong return of the legend that once created the dynasty, everyone’s attention was on him.

Although Lillard is missing, it turns out that the current lineup of the Trail Blazers is strong enough. They are absolutely capable of defeating all teams in the West, including the Golden State Warriors who won the championship last year!

People are looking forward to it, looking forward to the Blazers and the Western Conference strong one by one. People are wondering whether An Jie will win the highest honor again.

With the waiting of everyone in the world, Moda Center and the Trail Blazers finally ushered in the second battle between them and the Rockets.

The last game was a lore, maybe not too bad for the Rockets. Because Harden and Paul at least proved that they have the ability to push the Trail Blazers into desperation.

Lore may not appear in every game, but the Rockets’ performance will not fluctuate too much.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, the two sides played very anxiously.

You come and go between the two teams, and no one can gain a substantial advantage. An Jie had just scored a goal, and Paul was able to level it with a throw.

George finally found a gap and scored a three-pointer, and Harden was able to quickly return with the help of Paul.

The anxious score of the two teams made Ricard and D’Antoni restless on the sidelines, especially Ricard. This guy was afraid that he would be careless and made the same low-level mistake as last time.

Zhou Qi did not become the X factor today. After he came on the court, he played well and did not replicate the performance of the previous game that led the team to a 10-0 offensive climax.

The two sides went to the final quarter like this. It seems that this is another game that requires a key ball to solve the problem.

In the last 22 seconds of the game, a key three-pointer from Chris Paul gave the Rockets a 112-111 lead. I have to admit that the attributes of Paul’s big heart in the last moments are really not diminished back then.

After Paul scored, Ricard immediately called a timeout. This time, he didn’t hesitate to estimate mistakes.

“For two consecutive games, we all need to rely on the lore to determine the winner. This situation is really rare!”

“This explains the strength of the West from another aspect. If you want to rush out from the West, you definitely chose the hard mode!”

While the commentators were chatting, the last timeout ended.

The Blazers players stepped onto the court one by one, and now the pressure is all on them.

This time, D’Antoni did not allow Zhou Qi and Ryan Anderson to protect the basket at the last minute. Swiss Capella and Brazilian center Nene became D’Antoni’s last line of defense.

With 22 seconds left in the game, Napier did not panic this time. Ricard said that they are not trying to grab time, but to find the best opportunity to make a move.

Chris Paul doesn’t dare to stick Napier too tight now, just in case. If he was broken by Napier and made a big mistake, Paul would certainly not forgive himself.

Paul, who has kept a distance from Napier, has been watching carefully, observing Napier’s eyes and movements.

However, what Paul did not expect was that Napier did not pass the ball after waiting for a while, but broke through with the ball himself!

“Are you crazy!?” Paul said to himself in his heart, and at the same time took his own steps. However, when he only moved one step horizontally, he felt as if he had knocked down a high wall!

“Pick-and-roll!?” Paul looked up, and as expected, An Jie was blocking himself strictly at this time. This guy’s pick-and-roll is so fast that Paul didn’t even notice it!

In this way, Shabaz Napier, who was originally the least threatening guy, took a basketball and became a time bomb that could destroy the rocket at any time.

Capela and Nene hesitated, they didn’t know whether they should continue to defend the basket to stop Napier, or they should rush out to prevent Anjie from sneaking.

In the end, the Brazilian chose to follow out, while Capela continued to stay behind the basket.

Napier is getting closer and closer to the basket, and the hearts of the Rockets are getting faster and faster. As soon as Napier was preparing for a layup, he suddenly threw the basketball behind his head and this guy passed the ball!

It was not someone else who caught the ball. It was the leader of the Trail Blazers, An Jie, who finished the last game.

An Jie steadily caught the ball, and Nene’s defense was not yet in place. Chris Paul wanted to steal, but found out that An Jie immediately took off and was ready to shoot after receiving the ball!

Paul is too short and Nnene is too far away. Neither of these two guys can effectively interfere with Anjie.

An Jie just took off from the mid-range position and shot comfortably. The basketball crossed an arc that was neither high nor low, and just fell into the net!

“Lore! The second consecutive game staged a lore! My God! There is no such a great basketball player as Ann in this world! God! An Jie killed the game again!” Basketball At the moment he entered the net, Jeff Van Gundy was already incoherent.

In the playoffs two consecutive games staged a lore, Anjie, he once again turned the unthinkable into reality!

After Anjie scored, the Rockets had only five seconds left, and this time, the person without a timeout became D’Antoni.

James Harden ran forward after receiving the basketball and hurriedly shot from a long distance before the end of time. But there is no doubt that such a ball is not accurate. The red light came on, and the Rockets lost consecutively!

All the cameras at the scene immediately turned to An Jie and gave a close-up of his face. However, this tall Chinese man has no expression on his face and is very calm ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ as if all this is taken for granted.

“He may be the calmest lore I have ever seen, no wonder he can always stand up at critical moments. This guy, there will never be any waves in his heart!”

With regret, Harden and Paul’s Rockets returned to Houston. And Anjie, because of two consecutive games staged a lore feat, once again became the most shining star in the playoffs.

That night, countless Portland fans were calling Anjie’s name. However, An Jie only smiled at them.

He knew that no matter how many lore he staged, it would not be considered a victory until he got the O’Brien Cup!

The road to the playoffs is still long, and it is not too late to leave all the joy at the last minute.

If the Rockets were more unconvinced when they were killed for the first time, the morale of the Rockets would be greatly affected by the second time they were killed in a row.

Three days, two matches, and two lores. No matter who you put this kind of thing on, it won’t feel good.

Harden and Paul may still be reluctant to admit defeat, but other Rockets players, as long as they see Anjie, their fighting spirit will drop by more than half.

Under such circumstances, although the Rockets relied on Harden’s 45-point performance in the first home game to win back. But in the second home game, the Rockets failed to keep it.

Anjie and George scored 56 points together, leaving Houston in a deadly silence. 3 to 1, the Trail Blazers broke through the first round with only one game remaining.

Although Paul led the Clippers to complete a 3-1 reversal of the Rockets when he was still in the Clippers, when he played for the Rockets and faced the Blazers, such a miracle might never happen again. occur.

The fifth game of the two sides will return to the Moda Center. I am afraid that the Houston Rockets, who have been busy for a summer, will be worse off…
