The Way of the Center - Chapter 834
No one knows what the man in front of the camera is thinking, maybe he is complaining in his heart that God is injustice to him. Perhaps he was thinking about whether to retaliate against Drummond Green. Or, this guy just wants to win the game, nothing more.
After George was helped off the field, reporters from all over the world focused their cameras or cameras on one person, the only player who could save the Trail Blazers.
An Jie stood on the court with his arms akimbo, his eyes fixed on the Warriors bench, expressionless.
The absence of Lillard has caused the Trail Blazers to suffer in the playoffs. And now, with four minutes left in the Western Conference semifinals, the tiebreaker will end, Ricard has to add Paul George’s name to his injury list.
Anjie is still standing on the court, as the highest point of the whole court, he can always attract people’s attention. Now even Ricard is staring at An Jie, because he knows that the Chinese is all the hope of the Trail Blazers!
“Hey, I know Drummond has a lot of bad pasts. But believe me, he didn’t mean it on purpose.” The commotion ended, and the Warriors players stepped onto the court one by one.
Durant was the first to come to Anjie. He hoped that his good brother would not misunderstand the Warriors. The game is fierce and fierce, but it hurts people, that’s another matter. Some things must be stated clearly and understood.
“Don’t worry, Kevin, I didn’t think much about it. Injury, it is part of the basketball game.” Anjie gave Durant a blank expression, then returned to the bottom line and prepared to serve the bottom line.
Durant swallowed, the look in An Jie’s eyes, Durant had seen it, and had seen it more than once. Whenever Anjie enters this state, his opponent… his opponent usually has no good end.
“George has left the Moda Center and was taken to the hospital. From the playback just now, we can see that George’s ankle is deformed very exaggeratedly. Although we hope George’s injury is not serious, he can continue to return. The stadium is indeed an unknown. First, this is likely to be the last game of the season for the Trail Blazers. Second, George’s injury is not clear. Anyway, for Ann, it’s everywhere. It’s full of challenges.” Mike Brin saw An Jie’s expression through the big screen at the scene, perseverance, cold storage, this is the feeling that An Jie gives now.
From the moment George left the field, the entire Portland was equivalent to being crushed on An Jie. Although the rest of the Trail Blazers will still contribute to victory, they have to admit that Anjie will be the most stressed person.
After George left, Evan Turner replaced him as the second candidate at the critical moment. Although as the No. 2 show in the past, Turner’s ability is more comprehensive. But there is no doubt that this multi-team swingman can’t fill the vacancy left by George.
Now, the Warriors can put all their defensive attention on Anjie. If the game has to be decided by a lore once again, today, George can’t wait for Anjie to pass the ball to himself outside the three-point line.
Double double-teaming, unscrupulous double double-teaming. When Anjie was in the low post to get to the position and catch the ball, Pachulia and Drummond Green didn’t even think about it, they rushed to Anjie.
This time, the Warriors double-teamed two insiders very quickly. An Jie was caught in the encirclement just as soon as he caught the ball.
There is no way, Anjie had to pass the ball. It took Napier a lot of energy to finally run out of a gap that could catch the ball, and the Blazers’ offense had to be reorganized.
Without a chance inside, Anjie mentioned outside the three-point line. He helped Napier make a pick-and-roll, Napier broke through and then passed back, giving Anjie a fleeting shot.
An Jie gently raised his hand and pretended to shoot. Pachulia was deceived by Anjie’s realistic shooting fakes and forced a step up.
This step is enough for Anjie to complete the breakthrough! An Jie immediately retracted the basketball and flashed past Pachulia. Seeing this, Durant dropped Iguodala to make up for An Jie.
An Jie calmly hugged the basketball in his hands and jumped around Durant. Then before Green’s defense was in place, Anjie made two jump shots.
An Jie’s soft shot made the basketball fly to the hoop in a very comfortable trajectory. The basketball turned three times on the red hoop, and finally fell into the net obediently.
“Nice goal! A very wonderful jumper and jumper. Ann’s offensive skills are still gorgeous, he evened the score! 87 to 87, the two sides are back to the same starting line.” Van Gundy couldn’t help but score for An Jie’s wonderful performance. The ball clapped, but he also knew that it was not the time to be happy. The Trail Blazers are not out of danger yet.
“Morris!” As Curry was advancing with the ball, An Jie suddenly called the “big bull” beside him.
“Ok?”
“Help me watch the basket!” An Jie finished speaking and took a step forward. This guy intends to defend Drummond Green himself, this guy is ready to spread his own defensive net on the perimeter!
Defense, this is the only thing Anjie can get strong support now. When George is away, whether it is Durant or Thompson, they will get more opportunities.
It’s not that Anjie doesn’t trust Turner. Turner’s defense is always very hard, but he lacks athleticism on the defensive end.
In yesterday’s training, George was able to pass Turner in one step. In today’s game, Thompson and Durant can do the same!
Anjie followed Green to defend, so he could make up for other players on the outside in time. Under the basket? Give the basket to Morris, Anjie is very relieved!
Sure enough, after Curry took possession of the ball for half the time, Thompson, who was against Turner, immediately started. There is no doubt that the Warriors just want to play Turner.
Thompson’s fast and superb running position made it very difficult for Turner, who is not fast, to follow. Green turned into a block during Thompson’s run, and Turner completely missed the target.
When the ball arrived, Curry passed the ball in time, allowing Thompson to receive the basketball almost as soon as he reached the position.
Faced with such an open shot opportunity, Thompson would naturally not hesitate. This guy took the shot calmly, and it seemed that the Blazers’ defense was simply vulnerable at the moment!
The moment Thompson took the shot, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but slightly cocked. Although George’s injury is regrettable, I have to say that even God wants the Warriors to advance!
A second later, a huge shadow covered Thompson and the basketball that had just been shot. And Thompson’s smile solidified.
“Fuck it!” An Jie yelled and slapped his arm hard. With a crisp sound, the basketball was directly fanned to the fifth row of the auditorium!
Due to the forward rush, An Jie ran into Thompson after the shot was completed. Thompson fell out of the court in embarrassment, while An Jie landed steadily, looking at the “loser” condescendingly.
“The demeanor of the king! Ann’s cover is too domineering, he changed defenses in time and made Klay Thompson return without success!” Van Gundy got goose bumps. The scene just now was really shocking.
It turned out that when Green did an off-ball pick and roll for Thompson, An Jie read the Warriors’ offense, switched defenses, and rushed to Thompson outside the three-point line.
Thompson thought it was his opportunity for Turner to fail to defend himself, but he did not expect that a more terrifying defender would appear soon.
Morris clapped his hands vigorously, An Jie, he really did what he said!
After that, the Warriors sent a sideline ball. They got the chance to try for the second time, but Durant missed the shot under the interference of Iguodala.
Morris jumped high, the first to touch the rebound. Without Anjie inside, Morris can still carry the heavy responsibilities.
Iguodala took the ball and directed the team’s offense. It can be seen that these guys on the Trail Blazers have already begun to take the initiative to help An Jie share the responsibilities.
Anjie gave Iguodala a grade, but everyone in the Warriors knows that this pick and roll is just a cover, and Iguodala will definitely return in the end.
As a result, Iguodala succeeded in a tough layup under Durant’s absent-minded defense.
There is no return, no in-cutting. Iguodala was a breakthrough to the rim. When Anjie was alone and helpless, Iguodala knew that the time to “play dead” was over!
“Andre Iguodala, his breakthrough caught the Warriors by surprise! Four points, the Trail Blazers have extended their lead to four points!”
Fortunately, Stephen Curry stepped up in time for this attack. He used an unreasonable three-pointer to bite the score and stabilize the situation.
But Curry didn’t know that Anjie’s performance would be even crazier than himself!
Breakthroughs, dunks, mid-range shots, hooks… In the last few minutes, An Jie did almost everything he could. Although others can occasionally help An Jie share some points, but basically, it is An Jie who supported the entire offense.
The Warriors missed shots from the outside, and Anjie has never missed a goal since George left the field to now ~www.mtlnovel.com~.
4 of 4 shots, 5 of 5 shots, 6 of June. Until the last 21 seconds of the game, An Jie used his fantasy dance steps to sway Pachulia and Green to pick the basket and hit, and An Jie had made 7 of 7 shots! After George left, he still scored 14 points alone! You know, for the entire Warriors team, the total score during this time is only 15 points!
“Dominant performance! Ann completely dominated the game! You know what, buddy, his performance today is more dominant than my performance in the second game of the 2000 Finals!” O’Neal grabbed the microphone and shouted. It turned out that this world On, someone can really surpass themselves!
When Anjie scored, the Blazers gained a 3-point lead. There are only 21 seconds left for the Warriors to catch up.
Anjie proved with his own actions that even if the Trail Blazers did not have George and Lillard, he would still not give up!
For the Warriors, this game did not become easier because of George’s unexpected absence. As long as Anjie is there, the Portland Trail Blazers will always be a hard bone!
The end of the world? Whose end is today, it’s not necessarily true!
