The Way of the Center - Chapter 828
How terrifying is the current Golden State Warriors team? Less than five minutes after the opening, Anjie deeply realized how difficult this team is.
When Curry dribbled the ball from the three-point line, let alone Napier, even An Jie, who was guarding the basket, felt that his heart had already touched his throat.
The guy in front of him was a pervert with a firepower range covering the entire half. Wherever he holds the ball, it is full of threats. If a team’s defense has been unable to contain the threat of the other side, it will definitely put a lot of pressure on the defensive players. An Jie is in such a state now.
“Napier, pay attention to the pick-and-rolls, pay attention to the pick-and-rolls! Hey, George! Keep up! Andre, you must push forward a little bit more, go up!” Anjie stood in the low position, seeing the entire defensive situation thoroughly. From the first second of the game, Anjie will always yell on the defensive end.
Commanding defense, this is something Anjie has to do now. This guy has a wealth of defensive experience and can help his teammates find a better position.
It seems that this time the defensive Trail Blazers are still doing a good job. But Anjie knew that the Golden State Warriors would not be defeated so easily.
When Curry found that he couldn’t get a chance, whether it was a pick-and-roll or a hard charge, he glanced at Durant who was running.
Durant is now struggling under the entanglement of Paul George. He started slipping from the baseline, intending to catch Curry’s pass at the bottom corner.
However, the sudden appearance of Morris blocked Durant’s movement. Curry had to change his plan and continue to control the ball from outside the three-point line.
Finally, it was Klay Thompson, a white shooter-type guard who took the lead in throwing off Iguodala and appeared at a 45-degree angle to the left of the three-point line.
Curry didn’t hesitate. The reason why this guy became a superstar was not just because of his perverted three-pointers. In fact, Curry is quite high in all aspects. Passing is undoubtedly one of them.
Curry’s pass is very fast and very precise. After Thompson got the basketball, he didn’t need to make any adjustments at all, he could shoot directly!
Iguodala still fought hard, but he was not as fast as before, and he was not as high as before. Thompson took the ball calmly without much interference.
The Warriors’ outside shooters are not easy to mess with! This season, Klay Thompson made 41.4% of his three-pointers. It’s even slightly higher than Curry’s 41.1%. When he fired, his deterrence was not much worse than Curry.
An Jie immediately turned his back and opened his arms. Keep Drummond Green and Zaza Pachulia behind him. But this hand-to-hand battle between insiders has not yet begun, it has ended. Because the basketball thrown by Klay Thompson was directly hollow into the net!
“A beautiful three-pointer! A beautiful shot! A beautiful cooperation! The Golden State Warriors are leading again, and they broke the tie once again. The game has started for five minutes, but the Trail Blazers looked nothing. Take the upper hand. I think this is the match between the strong and the strong! This kind of match is often impossible to know the ending until the last moment!” Mike Brin’s loud shout spread to the whole In the ears of countless fans around the world, Klay Thompson triumphed and gave Curry a light high-five. This ball can be regarded as putting pressure on the Blazers that are about to rise.
“Damn it! My fault!” After being scored by Thompson, Iguodala shook his head and raised his right hand. This year is 2018, and this is also the 14th year that he has played in the NBA.
14 years old, 34 years old. Iguodala, who is always gritty, can no longer run and jump like he did during the three consecutive championships. The older the age, the more obvious the deterioration of physical function. Iguodala is very unwilling, unwilling to time go so fast. If I just turned 30 right now, Klay Thompson had no chance of scoring at all!
But the years are so ruthless. He can change the strength of a team, and at the same time, he can change the appearance of a man on the court.
Anjie could see that Iguodala was very unwilling now, but he didn’t worry at all. A player like Iguodala never knows what it means to be self-defeating. This guy can’t meet his requirements on the defensive end, and that will definitely make up for it on the offensive end.
“The exchange of the ball, now it’s the offensive round of the Portland Trail Blazers. Let’s see, this time, An Jie and the others can continue to bite the score.”
Anjie sent a baseline ball and ran behind Napier towards the Warriors’ half-court.
Although the Warriors’ strong offense usually impresses fans more, in fact, it is not just their offense that has supported the Warriors to this day.
This season, the Warriors are the second-ranked team in the league in limiting opponents’ field goal percentage. And ranked first is the Trailblazers with three defensive champions Anjie, George and Morris.
Although the Warriors didn’t look very good on the inside, a starting center like Pachulia was even more “soft”. But the Warriors’ advantage in other people’s positions can pull up the entire defensive quality.
Durant, who is tall with long arms, can well break the opponent’s pass, and Durant will not suffer anyone’s loss in the pick and roll defense.
This season, Curry, who has a thicker arm, is always able to prevent the opposing player’s first position from psychological breakdown. His height advantage in the first position usually plays a big role.
As for Thompson and Drummond Green, these two guys are out-and-out defensive champions. Especially Drummond Green, his tough attitude can keep most players out.
It is with such a strong defensive lineup that the Warriors can become one of the super teams following the Trail Blazers. And now, Anjie will once again experience the hardship that this defense brings to the team.
Napier found that Curry’s indifferent eyes always made people feel chills more easily than Chris Paul and Westbrook in the first two rounds.
This guy in the No. 30 jersey seems to be able to see through everything you have in mind, including your next move.
Napier had just changed hands to speed up the dribble, and found that Curry had moved a small step in the direction of his change.
It seems that the ability of this league’s top star is really not covered. Seeing that George had already run out of his chance, Napier didn’t hesitate to pass the basketball away immediately, so as not to have many dreams.
After George got the ball, Durant, the “big spider” opened his arms and affixed it. Before George started, Durant, who had seen through Napier’s passing intention, was completely forced to death.
Just when the basketball was about to stop, An Jie suddenly jumped into gear and got stuck beside Durant, doing a pick-and-roll for George!
George understood, without hesitation, he immediately held the ball to speed up the breakthrough. Durant immediately bypassed Anjie from behind. Although he couldn’t see what happened before, Durant still planned to use his wingspan to “detour” and stop George.
However, when Durant finally posted George again, he found that George was empty in his hands! The ball! ?
A gust of wind passed by Durant, and An Jie’s breakthrough pace was very rapid. Fans who watched the game from the perspective of the live broadcast may be able to clearly see that George and Anjie completed a tacit and beautiful hand-to-hand pass at the moment of the pick-and-roll. Durant, who was completely blocked by Anjie, didn’t know anything about it.
“Ann broke through! Drummond Green and Andrew Morris are lumped together, but it seems that Green will not be able to return to the basket for a while! Zaza Pachulia is the only one who can now Stop Ann, what will this Georgian center do!?”
Before Van Gundy’s words were finished, Anjie grabbed the basketball with one hand and jumped high. Pachulia is not afraid of Anjie, in fact, he likes this kind of star who always loves to do things the most.
I saw that Pachulia didn’t confront An Jie head-on, but turned her back, seeming to be protecting herself, but in fact he raised his elbow in secret!
“Dog bastard!” It’s not that Anjie didn’t know the playing style of Pachulia. Last year, Leonard was injured entirely because of Pachulia’s stepping. Sometimes, Pachulia’s actions are no longer dirty, but scum!
Pachulia’s current elbow lift secretly can completely dislocate Anjie’s chin, who has already taken off and cannot control his speed!
But Anjie did not back down, but continued to dunk hard. Pachulia originally turned his back because he wanted to elbow An Jie, but now, after he and An Jie came into contact, Pachulia realized that he was really pressed by this huge force to be unable to straighten up. spine!
An Jie slammed hard, riding Pachulia’s body and clasped with one hand!
“A brutal dunk! Look, Pachulia is simply a lamb to be slaughtered! He is completely suppressed by An Jie, and there is no chance of counterattack!” O’Neill suddenly stood up from behind the commentary. This kind of domineering and tough dunk is almost like me back then!
After bucking Pachulia, Anjie pushed the Georgian center forward when he landed. Pachulia, who was stumbling under her feet, was pushed by An Jie, and even dropped directly to the ground.
The frustrated Pachulia immediately stood up and complained to the referee, but no referee was willing to favor this unclean guy. Pachulia became furious, picked up the basketball on the ground and smashed it at Anjie. Fortunately, Durant appeared in time and intercepted the basketball, which avoided another conflict.
“Calm down! Man! The game has just begun, and the war between us is still long!” Durant hugged Pachulia and shook his hands, hoping that the white center forward would be sober.
“That **** guy! It’s so deceiving!” Pachulia, who was humiliated by the buckle, was already very shameless~www.mtlnovel.com~ and finally was pushed hard by An Jie, making him look like a man Used soft eggs.
“Okay! Let’s use basketball to solve the problem!” Durant doesn’t want An Jie to be hurt, even for the Warriors’ victory, absolutely not! What’s more, if the conflict really breaks out, it’s not necessarily the one who is hurt in the end. If Pachulia retires due to injury, it will be more than a loss for the Warriors.
Under Durant’s roar, Pachulia finally calmed down. Although he was still angry in his heart, at least this guy wouldn’t make noise anymore.
Pachulia just ran to the front court when she saw An Jie proudly hitting herself with a provocative hook.
“Come if you have a kind, bastard! I’m not afraid of your little tricks!” An Jie is going to respond to Pachulia’s all-inclusive bad problem in a dirtier way.
Try it if you have one, and see who of us will be the first to get hurt because of the other’s small actions!
An Jie is an almighty superstar, but in the gray area, he is also good at doing some ugly things! Pachulia wants to play hard? An Jie played hard with him!
