The Way of the Center

22 to 3o, just after the first quarter of the game, the Knicks almost established a double-digit lead. E novel Ww%W. 1XIAOSHUO. COM This is not because Anjie or Aldridge's performance is not good enough, but because Mike Woodson's second team did capture the weaknesses of the Trail Blazers' second team.

Marcus Camby has been with the Knicks for four seasons, and he has been with Carmelo Anthony for five years. It can be seen from this that Camby has completely passed the age of his best competitive form. The 17 years of service is several times that of An Jie.

If Anjie had not played too much time, the Trail Blazers would definitely look for a better backup center. But because Camby has always been responsible for each game is not heavy, all he needs to do is to do his best to give Anjie a few more breaths. Therefore, he was used by Orsi and Ricard until now. At least this experienced veteran with good physical conditions will not stab anything on the court. It was enough that Camby could pass safely during An Jie's rest few minutes.

But today, in the face of the Knicks and Anthony who know him especially well, Camby has rarely become the focus of the lens. It's not because of Camby's back-to-back performance, but because he has completely become the main attack point of the Knicks. As long as the Knicks offensively, it must follow Camby. Because of this, the frequency of the camera shooting Camby will increase.

"They're too fast!" During the break, Marcus Camby came off the field panting, and Angel immediately moved aside and put a towel on Camby's head. Regardless of Camby's current strength, Anjie respects this old man.

"Thanks Ann." Camby wiped the sweat from his head with a towel. The breakthrough of the Knicks' second team just now made his old bone miserable.

J.R. Smith, a bench bandit, can't be blocked by the elderly Camby. Iman Shumpert, a rookie guard, also tasted the sweetness of the slow Camby.

Camby is now very self-blaming, if it weren't for him to run and jump like he did, the Trail Blazers would not be eight points behind others in the first quarter. You know, when Angel and Aldridge are on the court, the momentum is on the Trail Blazers side.

"Okay Marcus, you can take a good rest. Next, leave it to us." But to Marcus Camby's surprise, no one on the team blamed him, even if Smith and Shumpert were just Lots of opportunities because of his poor defense. An Jie just smiled friendly and respectful at Camby, and said that reassuring remark.

After a season, although Camby complained about Anjie every time he trained, he played himself half to death. But in fact, he really enjoyed the time training with An Jie. The older guys like them just like to mess around with young people, so that they can continue to maintain a young mentality.

An Jie's vitality really inspired Camby a lot. Camby has played countless games in his life and seen countless players. He knew that Anjie would be a piece of good stuff to become a team leader.

"Ann, come down and rest when you are tired. I promise, I won't pull you back!" Camby's fists suddenly clenched, and this emotion has not appeared for a long time. Since joining the Trail Blazers, the 38-year-old Camby has been thinking about how to "retire". He has never been so excited about winning or losing a game. But now, Anjie seems to have brought Camby back to the past, back to the era when he was fighting with others with real swords and guns.

For some reason, Camby felt as if there was something burning in his heart. He hopes to win the game, although he is just a substitute for the team's head star, he is just a useless old man who will go up to replace Anjie during the rest of the game. But even so, Camby still intends to contribute his own strength!

After the start of the second quarter, the Knicks' offense was not as smooth as before. An Jie is not Camby, his defensive ability may be better than Camby at his peak.

It is difficult for Stoudemire to get a chance under An Jie's mark. Once he might be able to force the back with his strong body, but now, An Jie's strength is not weak at all.

Seeing that he could not complete the offense with confidence, Anthony was still resting off the court. So Stoudemire took a look and decided to pass the ball to J.R. Smith, who performed well at the end of the first quarter.

J.R. Smith, like Jamal Crawford of the Trail Blazers, is an absolutely good bench bandit. To be precise, his strength is even higher than that of Jamal Crawford.

He was the main weapon of the Knicks to attack the city, so he was just asked to deal with a 38-year-old "old" and slow guy. J.R's scoring is simply easy and enjoyable.

This time, J.R, who was overly proud, also planned to plug in. As soon as he receives the ball, he starts directly. Wesley Matthews thought that JR would make some adjustments, so he didn't have time to react to this sudden breakthrough. Smith easily wiped from the side of Matthews, this scene is simply a reprint of the end of the first quarter!

The only difference is that it is not Camby who is guarding the Blazers penalty area, but the fierce Anjie!

Smith has been hesitating. Should he stop his jump shot, throw it, or force a layup to make a foul?

Stopped for a jump shot, he was afraid that the quick-reacting An Jie would block himself. Forced a layup and fouled? No, An Jie's body, only a fool would take the initiative to confront him. After screening, Smith feels that throwing is the best way to finally this offense.

At this moment of thinking, Smith had already broken through to the deepest position. If you don't throw your shots at this time, it will be too late.

So he made up his mind and J.R. took off with his left foot and gently tossed the basketball toward the hoop with his right hand. The trajectory of the ball looks very positive, J.R. is overjoyed, even if Marcus Camby is replaced by An Jie, he can still score points inside!

If the ball continues to fly without being obstructed, it will definitely be a wonderful goal with a hollow net. It's a pity that An Jie's favorite thing to do is to block the opponent's attack!

An Jie had long expected that J, R, and Smith would choose to throw shots, because only in this way, basketball could escape his palm.

So he has already calculated the timing of the jump, ready to defend the ball at any time. Sure enough, J.R. Smith really chose to cast, but the cast was ruthlessly caught by An Jie. Yes, it was not a fan, but a direct capture!

Anjie did not wait for these Knicks players who were surprised and stunned to come back to their senses. He used a precise long pass that penetrated the audience to help Raymond Felton easily hit the basket in the sky. .

The fans in Madison Square Garden were even more silent. They couldn't even believe what happened just now. An extremely high arc throw was unexpectedly caught by An Jie before he fell!

"Catch the risk! The catch is the cast! Did you see the height just now!? What a terrifying defensive range!" Even the well-informed espn veteran commentator Mike Brin was blocked by this. Guai was shocked to speak incoherently.

By returning to defense in slow motion, the fans clearly saw the whole process of Anjie's catch. In fact, An Jie didn't jump high for this ball. It was only thanks to his long arms and precise take-off timing that An Jie could accomplish this feat.

If An Jie takes off one second later, his palm will not be able to control the basketball. But An Jie, by accident, the timing of the jump was not bad!

"Good job!" Marcus Camby jumped up excitedly when he saw Anjie grabbed Smith's throw. The nasty breath in his heart was finally helped by someone!

A catch is enough for An Jie to mobilize the mood and morale of the team. Even the old guys like Marcus Camby ecstatically celebrated Anjie on the bench, not to mention the emotions of other young people.

After that, the Blazers' offensive firepower was very fierce, and Anjie used a combination of personal ability and teamwork to make Stoudemire very embarrassed.

You lock the pass, and An Jie uses the fake shoulder to trick the "Little Overlord" to score the hook.

You double-up or shrink the defensive formation against An Jie, and An Jie's delicate pass like a defender can scare you into a cold sweat. If it weren’t for the Blazers outside players to feel really bad today, the Knicks might be all chasing points now.

Jeremy Lin's game just disappeared, breaking through, he couldn't pass Anjie's level, shooting, that was not Jeremy Lin's strong point. Chinese fans who originally thought this would be a very exciting Chinese Derby must also accept the fact that the strength of the two is not directly proportional.

It wasn't until "Sweet Melon" Carmelo Anthony reappeared that the Knicks dropped points a little bit slower. Anthony can use his unsolvable offense to make up for the disadvantage of losing points, but the point difference between the two sides is once again flat, and no one has an advantage.

To be honest, Mike Woodson is very satisfied with the current tie with the Trail Blazers. Anyway, the time to open the score is not now.

The second quarter of the game quickly reached the end, Anjie's defense and offense both put great pressure on the Knicks. Fortunately, Anthony and Stoudemire shot well today, otherwise the difference may be reversed.

When the game was about to end with two minutes and fifty seconds left in this quarter, Ricard replaced the sweaty Angel. He knew that hand-to-hand combat on the inside was more cruel and more grueling than on the outside. No matter how strong An Jie is, he is not an iron fight. Even if there is only one or two minutes, Anjie must also take a rest.

As a result, Marcus Camby was sent back to the court by Ricard. Seeing this substitution, Mike Woodson didn't know how happy he was.

Camby is here, which shows that it's time for the Knicks to open the score!

"Huh! Take a good rest, kid." After playing, Camby first looked at An Jie, who was gasping from the bench. After that, he looked ahead intently. This young kid has worked so hard, as a senior, he can't be ashamed!

Iman Shumpert is too excited now. When Anjie was just there, he didn't have much chance to perform. But now that Anjie is off, he is finally able to flex his muscles in front of the old guy Camby.

With Stoudemar's high pick and roll, Shumpert easily rushed towards Camby. In the first quarter of the game, Camby was fouled many times because of his slow action. Because of this, the players of the Knicks dared to rush towards Camby.

Camby lowered his center of gravity slightly, and he felt that his waist was not as strong as it used to be. But it doesn't matter, he can guard this ball!

Shumpert hugged the ball and started three steps. Camby tried to move his two heavy thighs~www.NovelMTL.com~ and stepped back, looking for the best position and time to block.

Seeing Camby stepping back, Shumpert had no doubts in his mind. He continued to layup on his own, anyway, this old guy, there is no threat anymore.

Just when the basketball was just out of the palm of Shumpert, a big palm suddenly fanned the basketball!

Shumpert looked ahead in disbelief. In front of him, 38-year-old Marcus Camby was staring at himself with gritted teeth!

"You're too simple to think, young! This is the **** nBa, not a high school league!" Camby roared at the first-year guard Shumpert. Mike Woodson "cocked" in his heart. It's rare that Camby couldn't beat this point?

After seeing Camby successfully blocked the shot, Anjie was the first to "bounce" from the bench. He knew that this big brother would not give up so easily!

Always get old, but young people, don't just ride on other people's heads.

Marcus Camby is passionate now, and he will let you know that a 38-year-old "old man" can do a lot more!
