The Way of the Center

While Anjie was sweating in the Asian Championships to stay competitive, Thunder rookie Andrew Morris was warming up in the Drew League. ★Fiction Ranking★

Although the Drew League is only an amateur league, the level is not low. Every summer, a few NBA stars go to the Drew League to exercise themselves in order to maintain their competitive state and muscle strength.

The day before, Presti officially announced that he had signed the Congolese Sergi Ibaka, who was selected by the Thunder last year. Although there was An Jie in the Thunder last year, the ability of the other three whites inside was really unsatisfactory.

In terms of perimeter players, the combination of Durant and Westbrook looks very good, and Sefrosa's defense and shooting can provide him with a certain degree of support. Therefore, this summer, Presti will pay attention to it. Putting it on finding an inside partner for An Jie, as for the outside, a more mature combination of Durant and Westbrook is enough.

Because of this, both Morris and Ibaka were recruited by Presti.

Although Sergi Ibaka has a much lower pick than Morris, he has had the experience of playing in a professional league. To prove himself, Morris must seize the opportunity of the summer league.

How to improve the competitive state before the summer league, Meslav recommended the Drew League to Morris.

The land of the United States is simply a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Morris has seen too many private masters in this amateur league. If you want to survive in the Drew League, you have to show some real skills.

"I won't lose, Ann!" Morris just finished the block and landed, he wiped his sweat, his eyes focused. The Thunder's internal competition this year will be very fierce. Morris came to the NBA, not to waste time!

At the same time, the quarter-finals of the Chinese team and the Chinese Taipei team have been in two quarters. Unexpectedly, the Chinese team did not have a clear advantage in the first half. An Jie is a center in the paint, but he lacks the support of his teammates. Liu Wei and the rest of the guards were very difficult to dribble through the half-court under pressing defense.

The offense they organized was even more messy and made frequent mistakes.

"As soon as Anjie and Arab League reach the position, you will pass in, reduce the dribbling and your own breakthroughs, and make the ball into the inside!" Guo Shiqiang looked anxious off the court, but the player level is not enough, which cannot be solved tactically. What he can do is to increase the ball time of Anjie and Yi Jianlian.

The old problem is, the outside line of the Chinese team, especially the back line, has always been criticized. The Chinese who are obviously better at technical work, but most of the outstanding basketball talents are insiders. I really don't understand what caused this situation.

Regardless of whether these "big brothers" are willing or not, in the second half of the game, they can only become a machine to feed Anjie and Yi Jianlian.

As long as one dribble passes halftime, as soon as An Jie or Yi Jianlian are in position, they will pass the ball immediately. Although this tactic lacks changes, there is not much to watch. But the effect is indeed obvious.

An Jie's single-handed support can give Yi Jianlian a chance, and his short-term low post skills can also allow him to score by himself. Double-teaming or double-teaming can't be prevented, and Anjie is an unrestricted existence in the Asian arena.

In the Asian Championships, Anjie dunks more often than when he played in the NBA. In the NBA, Anjie, who has a thin body, rarely encounters an opponent who can compete with it in the Asian arena. The slam dunk that turned around after a rolling back hit has become An Jie's signature offensive action.

In the third quarter, An Jie wreaked havoc on the basket four times, completely polishing the Chinese Taipei team's vigor. Except for An Jie, no one on the court has completed even a dunk, not even Yi Jianlian.

Under Anjie's full command, the Chinese team finally reached the level, 32-16, winning the Chinese Taipei team by 16 points in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, An Jie, who had already exploded, was out of control and led the Chinese team to pursue the victory and completely broke the Chinese Taipei team's illusion of victory.

In addition, Wang Zhizhi felt fiery in the second half, putting in three three-pointers, and even a sword sealed his throat, which made the Taipei team unable to turn over.

101 to 73, 22 points difference, although not an exaggeration, but it is not a lot. Anjie scored 35 points and 14 rebounds. He showed vitality on the court that Yao Ming had never had. And 35 points is the first time Anjie has broken through the 30 mark since he became a professional player.

"No way, An Jie's level is not at the same level as the others here. I tried many methods, but I still can't prevent him." After the game, Taipei coach Xu Jinzhe said helplessly in an interview. fact.

Chinese fans cheered for them having a new inside pillar. You must know that An Jie is only 20 years old and only celebrated his 21st birthday in November this year. It is indeed very much anticipated how far such a young guy can lead Chinese basketball in the future.

In a very good situation, the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals. And their opponent is the Lebanese team with the same strength.

West Asia powerhouse Lebanon has reached the finals in both 2001 and 2005. This year, they have naturalized American player Jackson Froman, and their local striker Frege also performed well. This also allowed the Lebanese team to successfully reach the semifinals and once again wrestle with the Chinese team lacking Yao Ming.

Speaking of this naturalized player Jackson Froman, Anjie and him are still somewhat related. Froman was selected by the Bulls with the first overall pick in the second round of 2004. Before that, Froman was a member of the Iowa State University Tornado team.

It's just that Froman is limited in his own strength. He has gone everywhere in the NBA and the European League, and he hasn't made a name for himself. Now, he unexpectedly discovered that he could play so easily in the Asian arena, and frequently cut down the 2010 data. So Froman set his next goal in China's cba league.

Although he used to be an alumnus, Froman had an eye-catching performance in previous games. However, when encountering Anjie, who even O'Neal and Howard are very jealous, Fromman can only admit that he is unlucky.

Froman was almost useless throughout the game. He was the core of the Lebanese team in the previous game, but today, he was defended by Anjie to no avail.

He couldn't move on the inside, and he didn't feel as good as An Jie on the outside. Fromman was completely inaccurate throughout the game, and Anjie strangled the core of the Lebanese team alone.

Froman didn't give up, holding the sphere and preparing to break through Anjie's defense. But An Jie's footsteps, how can Froman say it can be abrupt.

As soon as he took a step, Anjie quickly blocked it, making Fromanka immobile. Before he could react, An Jie slapped the basketball in Froman's hand with everything in his left hand.

Zhu Fangyu reacted quickly, picked up the basketball and started to advance. Helplessly, the speed of the outside players of the Chinese team was too slow, and this counterattack failed.

Just after that ball, Froman has made four turnovers and made 2 of 10 shots. Had it not been for Frege's shooting accuracy, the Lebanese team might have given up resistance long ago.

But how can a mere Frejie compete with the entire Chinese team. 88 to 68, the confident Lebanese team ushered in a disastrous defeat. Cctv's commentary originally thought it would be a tough battle, but An Jie was beaten into a contest of disparity in strength.

After winning this game, the Chinese team will compete with the equally powerful Iranian team for the championship on August 16.

As the Chinese team had an eye-catching performance, the situation is very good for winning the championship.

"Iran's Haddadi couldn't even play in the NBA. Our Anjie is the core of the Thunder team!"

"An Jie's previous performance is already at the dominant level, and there is only a Haddadi, but he can't be helped."

Chinese fans are very confident in Anjie, which is understandable. But Haddadi is by no means an opponent that can be underestimated.

The height of 2.18 meters and An Jie are almost the same, but the weight of 127 kg is much higher than An Jie. In the international arena frequently played excellent performance, even in the face of world power teams such as the United States and Brazil, Haddadi can still come up with results.

The lack of playing time in the NBA does not mean that Haddadi's ability is not worth mentioning. The second Asian center after Yao Ming, this title is not given in vain.

When the game started on August 16, Chinese fans realized that the game was so difficult.

"Wang Shipeng has an open three-pointer chance! Still not! This is the second time that Wang Shipeng has missed an open three-pointer!" Yu Jia was anxious in the studio, but the Chinese team players just couldn't show their performance.

Haddadi stuck An Jie and grabbed a defensive rebound. Although An Jie's bounce is much better than Haddadi, he shouldn't be too exaggerated to ignore Haddadi's offensive rebound.

After the Iranian team came over, Haddadi received the ball again. Haddadi failed to fight against Anjie twice before. Once blocked by An Jie, once deviated from the basket under An Jie's interference. But Haddadi can't open, and other people who don't represent the Iranian team can't open either.

Haddadi's coping ability is also very good. He leaned on An Jie to fight with his back, using his tonnage advantage to push in. However, he did this only as a feint, in order to let the Chinese team relax their vigilance against their teammates.

Haddadi suddenly turned around, but his proud footsteps didn't work at all in front of An Jie. Anjie blocked Haddadi's offensive space, but Haddadi flicked his wrist and let the basketball fly into the hands of Iranian small forward Sahaqin.

After seeing Haddadi turned around, Zhu Fangyu unconsciously contracted inside, which allowed Sahaqin to get a shot. Unlike the cold touch of the Chinese team, Sahaqin's three-pointer made it into the net with precision.

16 to 8, the Chinese team was eight points behind the Iranian team!

"Hey!" Guo Shiqiang got up again, reminding the players on the field not to miss people~www.NovelMTL.com~ This game is very unsuccessful now. Except for An Jie and Wang Zhizhi, everyone else can't be on the offensive end. Find the feeling.

It is not as easy as imagined to step past the Iranian team and win the Asian championship. Perhaps the front opponent, the Chinese team, easily won, so they also relaxed their vigilance against Iran.

Watching Zhu Fangyu's three-pointer deviate from the target again, watching the Iranian team make another hit. Guo Shiqiang had to call a timeout, and the Chinese team was already very far behind!

"What's going on today!? Is that so hard to shoot the basket!? Reduce outside shots, you will take a break from the field, and Da Zhi and An Jie will partner inside. You two are our main attack points!" Once again, Guo Shiqiang gave up the change and gave the right to decide the life and death of the Chinese team to An Jie and Wang Zhizhi.

"Leave it to me, coach." When meeting a strong enemy, An Jie can only watch his teammates waste opportunities outside the three-point line time and time again. Now with the arrangement of the head coach, he can finally get his wish and compete with Haddadi in the paint.

There are two minutes left in the first quarter, and the Chinese team is 10 points behind. This is a situation that all fans did not expect. But after returning from the timeout, can the Chinese team with An Jie as the core change its trend?

Yao Ming's baton was passed to An Jie without knowing it. The previous games were not painful, and in the final, An Jie had to come out with some real guys.

An Jie looked down at the jersey on his body. The team name written on his chest was no longer "thunder", but "china", which represented the honor of the clan.

An Jie squeezed a fist, the champion, must get his hand!

The advantage of the Iranian team will soon disappear.
