The Way of the Center

"Nick Young is still stubbornly resisting, no, this guy’s good fortune has disappeared. ΔΔ『E small『Ω┡ said WWW.1XIAOSHUO.COM under the interference of Jamal Crawford, this note of Nick Young A three-pointer missed. Marcus Camby grabbed a defensive rebound. This is the ninth rebound the veteran has picked today! The Clippers players did not foul Camby, they Give up, the Clippers completely gave up the game! Let us congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers, congratulations on their start to the playoffs! "99 to 1o8, the Clippers after a dying struggle, but still unable to lead from the Rose Garden Walk to victory.

As soon as Mike Brin's voice fell, the espn photographer took the shot from the court and took the clip on the bench for the Clippers.

There, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Pooh Denagro sat side by side, but the expressions on the faces of these four men were very depressed.

They all hate this feeling, watching the game is not over, but they feel powerless. This kind of experience of waiting for failure will not be good for anyone.

Jamal Crawford ran out of time with possession of the ball from the three-point line, and the Clippers players on the court walked off the court one by one with their heads down. Of course, this does not include Nick Young, who performed well in this game. Like Jamal Crawford, this guy who goes his own way is a guy who cares more about his own interests than the interests of the team.

Perhaps, Nick Young and Crawford are not so important to winning or losing because they have not yet met the kind of team he is willing to devote their efforts to. But at least for now, Crawford who won the victory was not much happy, and Nick Young who was defeated was not much lost.

"Huh... it's over Paul, let's go." Denagro looked up at the big screen again, wishing it was just a nightmare, and as long as he kept looking at the bright place, Will wake up.

It's a pity that the numbers on the big screen will never change. This is a nightmare that Danagro will never wake up.

Chris Paul put a towel on his head, and he doesn't want to appear in the reporters' camera now. He didn't want his relatives and friends to sell newspapers the next day, but he saw that the whole page was so desolate.

In sharp contrast with the Clippers, is the Blazers who have won. Even the "old man" like Marcus Camby is embracing passionately with his teammates. To achieve such a happy victory in the playoffs, whether it is for players or fans, is a kind of enjoyment...Of course, this will not include the Los Angeles Clippers.

"29 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocked shots. Pay attention to the playoffs. Ann is back!" After the game, O'Neal also reminded the audience how beautiful An Jie's statistics are with his exaggerated expression and tone.

"Let’s take a look at the performance of the other stars in this game. Aldridge had 19 points and 6 rebounds, Wesley Matthews had 12 points, and Jamal Crawford had 11 points. The Clippers’ side, Chris Paul only scored 14 points and had 4 turnovers. What about his shooting percentage? It was also unexpectedly only 41%! Yes, maybe for other guards, 41% shooting is also reasonable. But Paul is not a guy of that level. A 41% shooting percentage is obviously a failure for a core point guard like him! Jordan has 5 points, a good guy, what can I say? Gerry? Fern scored a team-high 17 points, but his 45% shooting percentage makes it difficult for him to perform well." O'Neal chattered about a lot of players' games.

"What do these statistics tell Shaq?" Kenny Smith was at a loss. The players' data had just been shown on the big screen, and O'Neal had no reason to repeat it.

"What does this mean? It means that An is outstanding among this group of people!" O'Neal found that he, who originally hated his mouth, was also attracted by An Jie, just like Barkley. In the face of other people, the two of them with big mouths will tease, and even quarrel with the person in discussion. But in the face of An Jie, these two big guys had trouble saying bad things.

"My God, Shaq, you and Charles must be crazy. I think the walls of our studio must be covered with Ann posters. As long as there is a game where Ann appears, your mouth will be so sweet that I panic. "Kenny Smith acknowledged Anjie's strength, but considering his working environment, he still jokingly complained in the live broadcast room.

But it can also be seen from this that Anjie's performance is indeed very good. If not, O'Neal and Barkley, who are demanding, would not frequently admire Ann.

"I knew, that guy would keep up." Anjay’s former teammates in Oklahoma, Durant, Westbrook, Morris and Van Gundy, also really got together and watched The entire game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers. And Morris has known for a long time that his former coach and teammates cannot cope with the Clippers, which ranks fifth in the West.

Perhaps the outside analysis is correct. The reason why the Trail Blazers will fall to fourth place in the Western Conference in the last month may be that Ricard deliberately arranged it!

Others may not know, but Morris is very clear. It's not that Ricard can't do this kind of thing.

"Don't worry, Ann will pass the first round smoothly." Durant was not surprised by the victory of the Trail Blazers. He knew Anjie's strength, so he also knew that the result of the game would have been like this.

"What if... they also passed the second round smoothly?" At this moment, Westbrook made an unintentional question, but the surroundings instantly calmed down.

If both the Thunder and the Trail Blazers pass the second round at the same time, then the two teams will have to be enemies with each other!

"Don't think too far, let's play the first round first! Let's go, go back to rest, and tomorrow we can have a game?" Jeff Van Gundy urged the players to leave as soon as possible, and closed the office. TV.

Although this bald head who was in the second spring of the Thunder didn't answer Westbrook's question, in his heart, why didn't he worry about the life of this kind of thing? ......

If you really meet the trailblazer led by An Jie, it will definitely be an opponent that can't be worse!

Van Gundy now hopes that An Jie can achieve good results and that An Jie can be eliminated earlier... He hopes that his former disciples can be a blockbuster, but he hopes that his team can go more smoothly.

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

The playoffs are different from the regular season and ncaa's March Madness. A victory in a game can only show that you are temporarily ahead, but it does not mean that you will have the last laugh. In history, there are even examples of a reversal after being behind by two games. Therefore, the current 1 to o total score is not a reassuring advantage.

The Oklahoma City Thunder knew this, so they did not relax because of their first game victory. Durant and his teammates cheered and defeated the Nuggets again in their second home court in Oklahoma!

And the Oklahoma City Thunder is not the only one who knows this. Although Angel and Ricard are famous for playing March Madness, these guys also have a concept in the series.

"I'm telling you! The victory in the last game is nothing at all! As you all know, the Clippers will only fight back even harder in this game! Not to mention that the performance is worse than the last game, that is, your performances The last game is exactly the same, and it is difficult for you to win again. Listen to me, I want you to perform better than the last game! Your opponents become stronger, and you can only become stronger if you become stronger. It's defeated!" Ricard shouted solemnly, so that all players must raise the spirit of 18 points.

After the game started, the Clippers' resistance was completely different from the previous game! If the Clippers, who had participated in the playoffs in the last game for many years, haven't adapted yet, then today, they have completely come up with a playoff-level performance!

In the first quarter of the game, Paul's assists and breakthroughs, Griffin's running and dunking, and Randy Foye's precise shooting all made the Clippers force the Trail Blazers to death.

Even DeAndre Jordan's enthusiasm is very different from the previous game! This is also the first time An Jie feels how great the defensive pressure on his back is.

The Clippers are indeed fighting a lot harder, and they seem to understand the reason why they have to go home after losing in the playoffs. But basketball is not the kind of sport that can win the game with fierce energy.

In the second quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers, who put more energy into defense, immediately beat the immature Griffin and DeAndre Jordan back to their original form!

Griffin can still score, but his scoring efficiency is definitely not the efficiency that an insider should have. DeAndre Jordan can still occasionally complete an amazingly chin-dropping air relay, but his chances of scoring are only so few.

In the first game, the Blazers' defense already made the Clippers miserable.

Today, after Griffin, Paul and others stepped up their offensive, the Clippers were surprised to find that the Blazers' defensive intensity could actually be improved!

After Griffin and Jordan were seen dead, Paul also changed his organizational policy. He allocated more opportunities to Randy Foye and Caron Butler, but of these two, only Foye completed his mission.

At the end of the half game, the Clippers barely bite the score. 47 to 51, although the Blazers are leading, they are also forced very **** the scene.

"Defense close-fitting, do you know what it means to defend close-fitting? Don't let go, I want you to stick to your opponents! Don't be afraid of their breakthroughs, Ann will solve this problem for you. What you have to do It’s to make it difficult for your opponents to connect to the ball!” During the intermission, Ricard gave his perimeter players a close defense order.

Why did you do this? Quite simply, with Griffin and Jordan being restricted, if the Clippers' second and third positions are also locked, then Paul will be isolated again!

Paul's scoring ability is indeed very strong, but his more deadly is the solid organization and precise passing. If Paul is isolated, then his two greatest strengths will be lost.

So in the third quarter, the Clippers players used their previous offensive routines and lost their role in front of the Blazers' defense.

Randy Foye and Caron Butler tried to break through the defenses of Matthews and Wallace, but Anjie's several successful defenses let them dispel this idea.

Now, the only person on the Clippers who can score is Paul again!

"Another mistake! The last game Chris Paul made a total of 4 turnovers~www.NovelMTL.com~ But today, this is his fifth turnover!" The pressing defense brought him except for Paul. Being isolated also greatly increased the difficulty of his passing.

And Paul, who doesn't believe in evil, just made mistakes again and again to prove how good the Blazers' defense is.

In the third quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers relied on defense to open the score again. De Nagro fell into despair again, how many bad ideas George Ricard, a rookie coach, had put in his mind!

In the fourth quarter, Paul still couldn't get rid of the vicious circle of poor performance. His turnovers are still increasing, and the score gap has not been filled.

In the last quarter, Anjie also served as the core organization of the Trail Blazers, helping the team use tight defense and multiple offenses to completely capsize Paul again!

88 to 1o5, the Clippers were originally ambitious, but lost all two away games in the Rose Garden of Portland!

2 to o, the Clippers must carry this huge burden on their backs and return to Los Angeles to find a way to survive...
