The Way of the Center

At 8 o'clock in the evening on January 17, the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Miami Heat challenged the Oklahoma City Thunder. Although this game is not a focus battle, it is definitely eye-catching enough.

There are only three games in the NBA today. The Mavericks vs. Raptors game is not very suspenseful. The Jazz's game against the Nuggets is about to end. At this moment, most of the neutral fans choose to switch their TV channels to t.nt TV to watch. This battle between the Heat and Thunder.

"A very simple comparison. The Heat just ushered in two consecutive victories before. The Thunder was just the opposite. They lost consecutive defeats to the Spurs and Mavericks, and suffered two consecutive losses. Moreover, Wade and Michael Beasley recently The state for a month was very good..."

"So you are not optimistic about the Thunder again?" Kenny Smith intervened before Barkley could finish.

"No, on the contrary. The Thunder lost the two games for obvious reasons. They experienced two extremes, extreme arrogance and extreme conceit. It can be said that this was after the Thunder group of little guys lost to the Spurs. Coach Van Gundy was overcorrected. Therefore, coach Van Gundy should have found the balance in this game. With his ability, this is enough for him to adjust the mentality of the players. "Charles Barkley has been undermined by the Thunder. He was slapped countless times, and this time, he decided to stand on the side of the Thunder.

"Oh my God, you must have been kidnapped by an alien last night and had a brain reformation. You actually support the Thunder? Please, I am not deaf." Kenny Smith is ready to refute Barkley, but Barkley is not expecting it today. Do not play cards according to the routine.

"Wade and Westbrook, Beasley and Durant, these two groups of confrontation can indeed be said to be evenly matched. But in the interior, the Thunder have the advantage. If Van Gundy wants to build a lead, Anjie will be the key. Point.” Reggie Miller started to guide the analysis to a deeper level. You can't listen to Barkley's nonsense for the entire pre-match analysis.

"Jermaine O'Neal, well, if the time is pushed forward four or five years, he and Anjie are still evenly matched. But now? I have to admit that O'Neal is a loophole for the Heat in this game." People, the injured little O'Neill has long been an object of humiliation.

"Charles, how many points do you think O'Neal can score under Ann's defense?" As the game was about to begin, Kenny Smith immediately asked Barkley the last question.

"No more than ten. Believe me, not only O'Neal, but all the insiders of the Heat will not score in double digits in this game." Barkley was only caught by the Thunder again and again because of confusion and bloggers. Slap in the face. In fact, the strength of the Thunder team and Anjie's strength are very clear in his mind.

"Well, here are Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, and Reggie Miller. Now, let's cut the scene back to the scene." Under the rendering of the t.nt trio, the audience in front of the TV responded to this. The game is more and more looking forward to.

....................

"Long time no see, Ann, how are you doing." Before the jump, the Heat's second point guard Mario Chamos greeted An Jie friendly. The two played against each other in college and collaborated briefly during the Heat's trial, so they both had a good impression of each other.

"We lost two games in a row, buddy, you know we can't continue to lose." Anjie blinked at Chalmers, responding with friendliness and expressing determination.

"You will get out of the predicament, but not today. I know you are excellent, but just like in college, the final winner must be us." Chalmers said with a smile, and then sat back on the bench. Jermaine O'Neal jumped into the middle circle. He looked at the strange Asian face in front of him, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

Last season, due to injuries, only played 27 games, so this is the first time O'Neal has played against Anjie. But before that, Spoelstra emphasized in his ear more than once how dangerous this Chinese is.

"You should pay attention to his **** Jermaine."

"Can't let him shoot."

"Even if you are outside the three-point line, you still have to post him to death"

......

Spoelstra's emphasis again and again still circulated in O'Neill's mind. Little O'Neill really didn't dare to slack off, now he has no arrogant capital.

Wade moved his torn knee, Michael Beasley glared at the Thunder three murderously, while Spoelstra stood on the sidelines at the beginning, fidgeting. Compared to the two-game losing streak of the Thunder, the two-game winning streak of the Heat seems to be more tense.

"Ready? How about you? OK!" After the referee asked Anjie and O'Neal, he took a step forward, and then skillfully threw the ball high.

The two elders scrambled to jump, but O'Neal, who was not dominant in height and bounce, was quickly defeated. An Jie once again fought for the right to attack the ball for the Thunder. It seemed that he was in a scrimmage. An Jie rarely failed.

"Okay, the game officially begins. The Thunder's starting lineup has changed a little. Andrew Morris did not come off the bench today, but directly replaced Krstic as the starter. The Heat's starting lineup is the same as the previous game. It’s exactly the same, it’s Russell Westbrook now in possession of the ball."

This is Morris's first appearance after entering the NBA and he is very excited, which also makes Michael Beasley very uncomfortable playing the fourth position.

Although Beasley is only two centimeters shorter than Morris, the difference in weight and strength is huge. The man who came up with the first goal in the post was not An Jie, but Morris, who started for the first time!

Where's Anjie? He obediently pulled to a 45-degree position on the right side of the mid-range, helping Morris to spread O'Neal away so that he could play one-on-one with Beasley in the three-second zone.

"Coach Van Gundy's purpose is clear! Once he comes up, he will beat the Heat inside!"

Beasley knew that he could not bear the impact of the "big bull", he decided to give play to his agility advantage. Beasley lowered his weight, stretched his hand forward, preparing to knock out the basketball in Morris's hand.

Although Morris is a bit rougher, his basketball IQ is not low. Feeling Beasley's center of gravity moving forward behind him, Morris turned around while leaning on Beasley. In the process, he didn't forget to give this guy with disgusting eyes a dark elbow.

Beasley was squeezed and turned completely by Morris, and now the entire basket was empty. Morris gathered enough energy to complete a heavy in-situ take-off dunk.

Morris also took advantage of the trend and did a pull-up before he was willing to let go. He looked at Beasley arrogantly, and Beasley's nasty eyes were even more ugly.

"It's okay, Michael, let's call it back!" Wade hurriedly patted Beasley on the shoulder. The Flash knew that this guy was awe-inspiring talent is an indisputable fact, but his personality was indeed not very good. Now only if Beasley's emotions are stabilized, it is possible for him to hit the level.

You have to score on the field, you have to connect your teammates, and you have to take care of your teammates' emotions. Wade is both father and mother, playing very tired. You said that if Riley had chosen Anjie back then... hey.

Thinking of Anjie, one of the problems Wade has to face now is to deal with Anjie's defense. As Van Gundy said, Wade is a guard who likes to break into the paint and score points. Since it is on the inside, Wade will definitely start a duel with Anjie.

Wade is having a headache for An Jie, and An Jie is also worried about Wade. After playing professional basketball for more than a year, Wade is one of the most difficult guards in Anjie's mind.

Between the lightning and flint, Wade borrowed Michael Beasley's pick and roll to get in.

Jermaine O'Neal hurriedly crossed over to prepare to contain An Jie, who would not be restricted so easily. He leaned against O'Neal without the ball and turned around, then got rid of the entanglement and faced Wade directly!

"This step is really beautiful!" Wade secretly applauded An Jie's steps to get rid of the entanglement in his heart, but this does not mean that the Miami team's soul will surrender!

Holding the ball in both hands, Wade took a big step to the left! An Jie hurriedly followed to adjust and sealed to the left. Just as Wade was about to collide with An Jie, he suddenly changed his pace and center of gravity and plunged to the right again.

This sudden change allowed Wade to make An Jie's life clean. After breaking through An Jie, Wade did not hesitate and immediately jumped for a layup. Although Morris tried to chase back, he still took a long shot.

"A beautiful lost step, Wade's iconic breakthrough! Anjie has no response!"

An Jie has watched so many videos. It's not that Wade is so confused. It can be said that this trick is designed to get rid of the big man's defense. But most of the time Wade's lost steps are to jump to the right and then to the left, so that he can make follow-up moves more smoothly. But today, Wade first turned left and then right, An Jie was really "fascinated" by this pace.

Wade led by example and completely shattered the Thunder's strongest defensive barrier. No matter how unbearable the Heat are now, at least they still have Wade. And Wade, just can be the guy who changes the game.

"Tsk tusk, top guard." An Jie shook his head helplessly. Even if you study the video thoroughly, you may not be able to guard Wade.

Jermaine O'Neal was very afraid of An Jie from the beginning, but fortunately, he has not learned An Jie's defense so far, and An Jie has not attacked with the ball in front of O'Neal.

After Wade scored, the morale of the Thunder is still high. Westbrook rushed forward with the ball eagerly, but today he didn't have any brainstorming, he chose to pass the ball to Durant for processing.

Durant tried several times to break through Quentin Richardson's defense, but they were all unsuccessful.

"This guy can defend as long as he wants." Charles Barkley didn't seem too surprised by Richardson's tough defense, because he knew that the Heat's starting small forward had this ability. .

The offensive time passed by, and Durant still did not get a chance. He looked up at his teammate, An Jie was raising his hand for the ball.

Without even thinking about it, Durant made a high lob pass and turned the battlefield into the inside. Quentin Richardson, who was only 1.98 meters tall, was beyond the reach of this pass.

"Come!" Little O'Neill saw An Jie catch the ball, and all of his muscles suddenly collapsed!

"The last hope of the center."

"The league's No. 1 center candidate."

"After Yao Ming and O'Neal, the inside of the league will be ruled by him."

The evaluation of An Jie from the outside world immediately surfaced in O'Neill's mind. What kind of guy is he who has won so much reputation?

"Boom!" In just the first click, O'Neal knew that An Jie was not easy! Although O'Neal's defense is not as terrible as O'Neal, it is by no means bad. But the first time An Jie exerted his strength, he took O'Neal, who was no longer alive, a big step back!

Before O'Neal could catch his breath, Anjie immediately turned towards the basket. Little O'Neill gritted his teeth and moved along.

Jermaine has just settled down, but An Jie turned in the opposite direction~www.NovelMTL.com~ As soon as he turned around to get a little gap, An Jie started to shoot without any muddle.

O'Neal's desperate takeoff block, he knows that the chance of this ball can be prevented is very small. Because back then, he played like this.

"Swipe." An Jie's shot was extremely soft, and his movements were smooth and smooth. As for basketball, there is no doubt that it is hollow into the net.

"This is too bullying. This is simply Jermaine O'Neal antagonizing himself back then." Kenny Smith was right. When Angel completed this series of actions, O'Neal really saw it. The shadow of myself when I was young.

But now, the scoring player is not called O'Neal, but is called An Jie.

Seeing the energetic yellow-skinned big man happily high-five with his teammates, O'Neal knew that this game had to bear it. Those reputations are really not blown out.

2 to 4, the opening three offenses all scored the ball. The next confrontation has attracted more and more attention.

In the face of the thunderous Heat, this game seems to be very anxious. (To be continued.)
