The Way of the Center - Chapter 822

In the three years when Anjie first created the dynasty, the first two rounds of the playoffs were very easy for them.

The situation of sweeping 4 to 0 often occurred during those three years. Usually only the Western Conference Finals and Finals will bring some pressure to the Trail Blazers.

But this year, the situation is completely different. The Western powers have risen one after another, and the teams that have entered the top eight in the Western Conference have very weak strength gaps. This leads to every round of the game, every team must give it all in order to win the final victory. This situation is no exception for the Trail Blazers.

“Russell Westbrook fooled Ann! He broke through the Blazers’ strongest defensive gate. Now, Westbrook has only his former teammate Andrew Morris in front of him!” Westbrook Mike Brin’s voice was full of enthusiasm for his brilliant breakthrough. He originally thought that Westbrook would directly make a layup as usual. Today, however, Westbrook, who had a chance to hit the basket, did not do so.

“Will he make a layup? No, it was a pass! Westbrook passed the ball to Anthony on the middle distance. After Anthony changed to the 4th position in this game, the effect was very obvious. His wide range of attack allowed Morris can’t be guarded against!”

While talking, Anthony has received a pass from Westbrook and made a shot. After the goal, Melon smiled very happily, and people seemed to have seen the heartthrob who was still in Denver.

“It’s pretty good guy, thank you!” Anthony took the initiative to move forward and high-five Westbrook.

“Come on, Cameron, our performance today is still long!” Westbrook did not forget the conversation between him and Anthony in the Moda Center after losing the day before yesterday.

Westbrook will never forget the scenery at the feet of the winner. Still the same sentence, why can’t it be them who rule the alliance?

“Today we are in big trouble!” Divac saw that Anthony and Westbrook had completed another beautiful cooperation, and couldn’t help but shook his head at Ricard.

Ricard gritted his teeth and stood on the sidelines, he looked up at the big screen at the scene. Just after Anthony scored, the difference between the two sides has been widened to 5 points. At this time, the second game of the Western Conference semifinals was over, with only two and a half minutes left.

“Positions, movement! Everyone is positive for me! Look for gaps!” Ricard began yelling from the sidelines. In fact, the reason why the Blazers are at a disadvantage today is not because they are not performing well, but It’s because the performance of Westbrook and Anthony is so good.

Together, these two guys should have become opponents of the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals or even the Finals. Unfortunately, in the West, every round is so difficult!

An Jie knew that he had to come forward at this time. He didn’t hesitate anymore, but directly rushed to Napier from the mid-range position to ask for the ball.

Napier calmly hit the ground with a pass, and the basketball escaped the palm of Anthony’s attempt to steal and refracted it into An Jie’s hand.

As soon as Anjie got the ball, Adams and Tay Gibson immediately doubled up. In such a game, Morris was once again ignored on the offensive end.

Faced with double-teaming, Anjie did not panic. He turned around and passed Adams before Gibson came close. Seeing this, Gibson immediately braked back to chase the basket, and Anjie also raised the basketball, seemingly ready to layup directly.

Just when Adams and Gibson both took off and were about to stop An Jie, An Jie’s hand suddenly shrank, stepped away, and turned around in the opposite direction, avoiding the blocks of Adams and Gibson, lightly. Loosen the hook to score.

“Ann’s footsteps are still as superb as ever. He shook both Adams and Ty Gibson at the same time. Although the ball was completed very well, I have to remind the Trail Blazers. There is not much time left in the game. They have to grind with the Thunder one by one. They will definitely not be able to win!” While O’Neal was cheering for An Jie’s wonderful goal, he was worried about the fate of the Trail Blazers at the same time.

Anjie knew that in order to play offense to reverse the situation, in addition to offense, defense is also the top priority. Only when others can’t score and you can continue to score, the offensive** can be beaten.

“Bring me up and guard every next goal!” An Jie’s roar made all the players on the court vigilant. Each of them opened their arms as much as possible, waiting to accept the impact from the Thunder.

Although the Thunder’s offensive momentum is particularly strong, but under the close defense of the Trail Blazers, they finally stopped the pace of consecutive scoring.

Westbrook’s emergency stop jumper was interrupted by Iguodala who came from the defense and knocked out the box. After Anjie got the rebound, he seized the opportunity to directly launch an offense with a long pass. Iguodala made a tough layup, but was overthrown by Gibson.

Most importantly, the referee also felt that this was a reasonable collision and did not give Gibson any penalty.

Iguodala got up from the ground and spread his hands dissatisfied with the referee. Of course he knew that the referee could no longer change the sentence. Iguodala did it to put pressure on the referee.

In the third round of offense, Anthony’s back jumper was blocked by Morris! This is something Anthony hadn’t thought of before.

After being scored so many points on the head by Anthony, Morris had long hoped to use an opportunity to get rid of the shame. This seal is really nasty.

In a chaotic robbery, Morris threw the basketball to the front. People looked in the direction of the camera and found that the person sprinting in the frontcourt was not George or Iguodala, but Anjie!

The moment Morris completed the block, Anjie had already started running forward. The basketball landed steadily in An Jie’s hands, An Jie continued to accelerate, and finally took off vigorously at the place where the free throw line came in one or two steps!

At this moment, everyone held their breath. They know that this basketball hoop is going to suffer!

“Hey!” With a vigorous dunk, An Jie narrowed the difference between the two sides to 1 point, which also allowed the “active volcano” of Moda Center to erupt again.

Seeing that the game will be over with only 31 seconds left, and the team now only holds a two-point advantage. Westbrook and Anthony knew that they could not miss any more opportunities!

This time, Westbrook and Anthony played very cautiously. If the opportunity is not good, they will not force it.

Under Adams’ pick and roll, Anthony quickly cut into the inside and raised his hand to Westbrook for the ball.

Westbrook saw that Anthony had been completely empty in front of him, and without thinking, he just held the ball and threw it up. There is no doubt that these two guys intend to use an air relay to complete the attack.

While everyone was waiting for the wonderful shots to appear, An Jie suddenly jumped high, crossing between basketball and Anthony, successfully destroying the pass.

An Jie, who intercepted the pass, gave the ball directly to George. As long as these two points are scored, the game will be much easier!

The counterattack in the last few minutes was a good show. Both Anjie and the Trail Blazers did a lot of this kind of thing. All the fans in the Moda Center raised their arms, they can’t wait to watch the birth of another classic comeback case here.

Just when George even had his arm ready for a layup, Carmelo Anthony, who was no longer young, continued to accelerate and rose to an astonishing height, slamming the basketball in George’s hand from behind!

The basketball rebounded sharply, but fell into Westbrook’s hands by accident. Westbrook didn’t froze. After picking up the basketball, he turned around and broke through. The players of the Trail Blazers have not yet realized what is going on.

Westbrook quickly shuttled through the crowd, and finally bypassed Morris, using a signature tomahawk-style split button to draw the end of the conversion attack.

The whole Moda Center was silent, and they seemed to have taken a roller coaster. From the top to the underestimation, it only took a few seconds.

With 4.3 seconds left in the game, the Trail Blazers are still 3 points behind. At the last moment, Ricard’s long timeout finally worked. But unfortunately, George, who performed the last shot, failed to make a shot under Anthony’s strong interference.

The moment when the basketball knocks out and the red light on the backboard lights up at the same time. Westbrook and Anthony rushed to the technical stage together, standing on the “throne”, enjoying the boos coming from all directions.

Dreams come true, what could be better than this? They were still in the trough the day before, but today they have become the final victor.

Seeing Anthony and Westbrook celebrating wildly on the technical stage, An Jie couldn’t help shook his head. A victorious heart is the hardest to be defeated!

“The Thunder succeeded! They succeeded in stealing an away game in the City of Rip! The total score became a 1-1 draw. After returning to Oklahoma in the next two games, the Thunder will have more turmoil. There is room for you!” Looking at Westbrook, who was celebrating wildly on the commentary, Jeff Van Gundy’s eyes were a little ruddy.

This is really a worrying series, because Van Gundy doesn’t know who he is supporting. He hopes that Anjie can continue to move forward, but he doesn’t want the team he has put in his efforts to stop there. Maybe he can’t be called an excellent narrator, because as long as he meets Thunder and Anjie, Van Gundy can’t be absolutely neutral.

After the game, Anthony and Westbrook, who jointly scored 66 points and won the victory, shocked the entire league! Overnight, they became the strongest NBA duo in the media!

Anjie’s old rival Sam Smith even threatened to claim that the high-profile Trailblazers actually only have the strength to play in the Western Conference semifinals. Because of the Oklahoma City Thunder, it is clear that they have a stronger star combination.

Faced with all kinds of cynicism from the media, Anjie and the team did not respond. After all, what response can be more convincing than actual action?

You say we will stop here? Okay, then I will win at Chesapeake Energy Arena to show you guys!

Perhaps this time, Ricard should really thank these media. Because if it were not for their stimulation, it is very likely that An Jie would not have played such a performance.

49 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 blocks, when the battlefield moved to Oklahoma, when the Thunder were ready to pursue the victory. An Jie used an extremely scary data to once again staged a crazy performance at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

But now ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Thunder fans can’t cheer for Anjie’s performance. This terrifying big man No. 00 is more dominant than he was in the past!

Anjie was very active in this game. As soon as the game started, he even buckled the cover and led the team to a 6-0 underdog. After that, Coach Donovan asked Anthony to change to the fourth position, which allowed the Thunder to improve their offense. But this improvement only lasted for a while.

After that, An Jie, who was blushing, was no one to beat. Even though Adams has worked very hard, Anjie still blows up the Thunder’s inside.

The total score finally became 2 to 1, but surprisingly, the leading side became the Portland Trail Blazers.

Anthony now knows the difficulty of this round of the series, and wants to retreat. The occasional outbreak of a game between him and Westbrook is far from enough.

The Trail Blazers and the Thunder once again alternated the lead, and the series between the two sides entered a fierce competition from the beginning.

The victorious heart is indeed difficult to be defeated, but after all, Anjie’s victorious heart may be more paranoid than Westbrook’s.
