The Way of the Center

Chris Paul couldn't believe that the Clippers, which had the advantage a minute ago, became a loser a minute later. ΩEΩΩ novel Ww%W. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

Anjie once again staged a block lore at a critical moment, and his blockade against Chris Paul directly led to Gerald Wallace's dunk.

Those who insisted on coming to Staples today are all **** Clippers fans. It's just a pity that even if Kenyon Martin has mobilized everyone's emotions, even if the Clippers have done their best, they still failed to win even one game in the hands of Anjie and the Trail Blazers. .

Losing the series is something that is destined to happen when they are 3 to o behind. But failing to bring a victory in the playoffs for the fans and for themselves is indeed a pity for the Clippers players.

Chris Paul deliberately looked up at the big screen and glanced at Anjie's data. 32 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocked shots. When an inside player can come up with this kind of data, it is difficult to win as an opponent.

Paul lowered his head and slowly walked into the player tunnel. It's over. My first season in Los Angeles is over.

At the time the nBa league denied Paul's transfer to the Lakers, but Paul didn't expect that he would come to Los Angeles after a full circle. It's just that he is wearing, not the shirt of the Purple and Gold Legion.

Fortunately, the performance of Griffin this season, the rise of DeAndre Jordan, and the joining of Foye and Butler all made Paul full of confidence in his career in Los Angeles. The fact is indeed the case. Under Paul's leadership, the Clippers finally returned to the playoffs after a full six years.

But Chris Paul's dream ends here. Although Paul didn't play well in two games, he still deserves the title of winner because of his perseverance. It's just a pity that the Los Angeles Clippers encountered one of the worst opponents.

The regular season is just a dream. Paul knows that the Clippers want to be competitive in the playoffs, and it's not enough now.

Being swept out is the best proof of this.

Of course, it's not just Paul, who thinks the team should have some changes, but also the Clippers management. After all, no matter who the opponent is, being swept by 4 to o in the playoffs is still too telling.

The management of Paul, Griffin and Jordan will certainly not move. To move, let’s start with the head coach...

No one cares about what will happen to the Clippers as a loser. Now all the fans only know that the Blazers, who killed the Quartet in the regular season and learned the Spurs to "deliberately" lower their ranking in the last month, have completed a sweeping promotion that represents a powerful force!

Don't be fooled by the Trail Blazers' ranking of fourth in the Western Conference, as many team coaches say. The trailblazer, No. 4 in the West, is just as dangerous as the Spurs, No. 1 in the West!

An Jie has forgotten how happy he was in Los Angeles that day, and used a sweeping way to advance to the second round of the playoffs. This is the first time in An Jie's career.

In the past, in the Thunder, they bumped and bumped and eventually stopped in the second round. But now that the Blazers are here, Anjie feels that with the exception of the third game, the team can easily pass.

Is the current Clippers not as strong as the Nuggets back then? Indeed, the Nuggets back then had a scorer at the level of Anthony, and a neurosurgery like J.R. Smith, who was no different from a scorer at the level of madness. But the Los Angeles Clippers on the road to revival are not so vulnerable.

You know, at the end of March, the Blazers had been killed by the Clippers.

Therefore, the reason why Anjie can easily popularize now is not because his opponent has become weaker, but because he has really become stronger.

He recovered from a serious injury and transferred to Portland, which was a transfer that was looked down upon by countless people at the time.

An Jie, who performed poorly in the preseason, was regarded by the Trail Blazers as a star player. How many fans were laughed off by the news.

But now, facing the Blazers who swept the Clippers and advanced to the second round, few fans dared to question the team from Portland that had just lost two former stars, Roy and Oden.

They may be more sturdy than they were in Roy's time!

It turns out that sometimes leaving is not a bad thing. Although the current Thunder is stronger than before by more than one level, if An Jie is still in Oklahoma, the Spurs may not be ranked first in the Western Conference. But even without Van Gundy, Westbrook, Morris and Durant, Anjie can create a world of his own in Portland.

Sweeping opponents in the first round of the playoffs was just the beginning.

As the first round of the playoffs approached the end, nBa officially announced the awards of the regular season awards in turn.

On May 2, **Vicci had already won the Coach of the Year Award as everyone's hope. Although Van Gundy has performed equally well this season, it is clear that Vicki’s Spurs are more dominant in performance.

Six days later, on May 8, the day after the Blazers swept the Clippers, the next heavyweight award for nBa will also be announced.

As the Spurs and Mavericks have not yet divided the victory or defeat, the Trail Blazers, as the first team to advance in the Western Conference, have no combat missions for the time being.

Therefore, today, An Jie can finally face the morning sun and drive his car to the Rose Garden to continue his training plan.

Since he only returned from Los Angeles yesterday, Ricard arranged regular training in the afternoon for the players' physical fitness.

So when Anjie stepped onto the court holding a basketball, he was the only one in the training ground.

An Jie calmly took a shot of basketball, a training ground for one person. He had become accustomed to this scene since he was in college.

Constantly slamming himself, this is the reason why Anjie has made progress step by step. But today, I only practiced two sets of shooting, and An Jie's phone rang without warning.

"It's only what time. Didn't they all call me to celebrate the victory last night?" An Jie is all goosebumps when he hears the ringing of the phone. Last night, An Jie took the call to celebrate the victory after sweeping the Clippers. My hands are soft when I receive it.

But looking at the electric display, An Jie knew that this was definitely not easy. Because of the busy Meslav, he wouldn't call himself early in the morning.

"What's the matter, Mr. omnipotent manager." An Jie, who had just won the ball, was in a good mood. When he answered the phone, he greeted Meslav with a smile.

"I'm telling you a good news, you will be very happy to hear it!" As everyone knows, which end of the phone Meslav is more excited than An Jie who won the ball.

"I know that Nike has already put the money in my account. The reward for advancing to the second round of the playoffs is indeed not a small amount." As usual, the first thing Anjie saw when he turned on his phone today is SMS from Nike.

"No, I'm not talking about this! Defensive player of the year! Ann! You are the defensive player of the year!" Meslav almost shouted into the phone. And An Jie did not remove the phone because of the loud noise from the receiver. He stared forward blankly, as if Meslav was standing in front of his eyes.

"You scored 321 points! Overpowered Ibaka and Howard and became the best defensive player in the nBa season in 2o11-2o12! Did you know? 321 points, which means that no one can compete for this award. You!" Although An Jie was selected to the best defensive first team, but Meslav has long felt that An Jie is fully qualified for the best defensive player. After all, the gold content of the latter award is much higher than the former.

However, after each evaluation, Anjie was only more than ten points lower than Howard, who won the Best Defensive Player award. What is the concept of more than ten points? In the rules for the evaluation of the best defensive players in nBa, the game commentators and sports reporters who are eligible to vote must fill in their ballots to vote first, vote second, and vote third. The first is the winner. 5 points, the second is 3 points, and the third is 1 point. The player with the highest score wins the Defensive Player of the Year.

The gap of more than ten points is just a gap of a few people. But this season, An Jie won 321 points in one fell swoop. An Jie’s old teammate Serge Ibaka scored 294 points and ranked second, missing the award. And Howard, who won this award for three consecutive seasons, only scored 186 points under the pressure of Anjie and Ibaka!

In other words, Anjie not only won the award of best defensive player, but also defeated Ibaka and Howard by an overwhelming advantage! His defense left a deep impression on everyone!

"Hang up first, believe me, that guy Orsi, you must have broken your call!" Meslav knew that the general manager of the Trail Blazers must have known the news. In the afternoon, he is bound to hold a press conference for An Jie and present an award to An Jie!

Sure enough, as soon as Anjie hung up, Orsi's call came in.

"Ann! Who did you call just now? Hey~www.NovelMTL.com~ I tell you a good news!" Orsi's excitement is no worse than Meslav and Anjie himself.

"Say Mr. Orsi, you just skip the previous paragraph and tell me what time the news release will be?" Anjie has eased from his surprise, so he also tried in a humorous tone. To ease Orsi's emotions.

"You know!? Well done, you did a great job! After today's training, at 5:30 in the afternoon, at the Rose Garden Stadium media reception room, I will personally deliver the trophy to you!" Now, The trophy representing honor is placed on Orsi's desk, and opposite him are two high-level nBa officials with a smile on their faces.

How long has it been since these old men have visited the City of Torn? Orsi doesn't know. After all, although the Trail Blazers had Roy and Oden in the past few years, their results have not been high, which is very embarrassing. The last time the nBa officially sent someone to Portland, it was when Roy won the Best Rookie Award in o7.

But Orsi can be sure that as long as An Jie is there, these guys will come to Portland more often!

The best defensive player, wait, this trophy will be delivered to its owner immediately!
