The Way of the Center

"Hello, Ann, and good luck." Kobe and Anjie were obviously not as enthusiastic as before when they met today. After a casual greeting, Kobe retreated to the Lakers halftime and didn't say more afterwards. One sentence.

Kobe is the kind of person who writes emotions completely on his face, and Anjie can see that Kobe's desire to win today is very strong. In the upcoming game, Kobe will definitely fight for victory desperately.

It's not just him who is affected by Kobe's emotions. Dwight Howard, who is usually sunny, is also holding his face at the moment. In the past, An Jie and Howard played, Howard would always make some innocuous jokes with An Jie before jumping the ball. But today, Howard just looked at An Jie blankly, as if An Jie was a complete stranger to him.

An Jie shook his head, playing next to Kobe is indeed under tremendous pressure. If the pressure is appropriate, the Lakers may be able to perform better because of this. But if the pressure is too great, it will only crush the Lakers themselves!

"Are you ready? Gentlemen!" the referee yelled at Anjie and Howard, and the noisy shouts on the scene forced him to do so.

"OK." Anjie and Howard replied in unison. In the next second, the referee threw the basketball that represented the start of the new season into the air. Dwight Howard was a little anxious and jumped too early. When the basketball began to fall, Howard had also begun to fall. An Jie judged the timing. Although he jumped back, he was the first to hit the basketball.

"Ann has won the first strike for the Trail Blazers! Audience friends, let us see what kind of surprise the Trail Blazers' first offense of the season can bring us!" Kenny Smith stared at the control on the court. Damien Lillard of the ball, Ricard made this rookie the starter in his NBA debut. I don't know if this will be a good move or a risky move.

Amid the shouts of more than 20,000 fans at the Rose Garden Stadium, Damien Lillard calmly controlled the ball and slowly advanced. Many people think that Lillard will launch a fierce attack in the first second after getting the ball. After all, Nash's turbulent defense is too "tempting." However, Lillard showed a calmness that was inconsistent with his rookie status. He only slowly dribbled the ball to two steps beyond the three-point line, and then gestured to his teammates to start running.

As an older rookie, Lillard has been criticized by many that his upper limit is not too high. But the advantage of an older rookie is that he plays more calmly and calmly than those who have only been in college for a year.

Of course Lillard wanted to attack on his own, as he did in college. But Lillard knows that Angel and Aldridge are the owners of this Trailblazer team. Ricard told him to slow down, and he slowed down. Ask him to assist the inside, and he will assist the inside. As a rookie player, you can only get more playing time if you are obedient. Get more playing time, you have the opportunity to make a big splash.

Lillard understood the truth well, so when Nash was nervously dealing with the zero guard, Lillard suddenly passed the ball.

"Lillard, the point guard who puts scoring in the first place, did not try to break through. He passed the ball directly to Aldridge, who ran to the mid-range position to catch it. Aldridge held the ball for three threats, plus Saul didn't dare to act rashly at all!" Kenny Smith immediately interpreted the situation on the court.

Indeed, Gasol did not dare to act rashly. Aldridge's offensive level has been demonstrated to the fullest last season. This season, Aldridge should have improved a lot.

At this time, Iguodala, who was new to the Trail Blazers but had a strong adaptability to tactics, and the Trail Blazers "veteran" Matthews began to cross-run near the baseline. These two guys cut inside at the same time, allowing Kobe And Howard became nervous.

However, the two people just passed by, and nothing happened. At this moment, Aldridge passed the ball over Gasol's head. This high-profile ball was firmly grasped by An Jie's outstretched big hand. An Jie slammed the ball to the ground, then held the ball in both hands, stepped away, ready to dunk directly!

Before Howard, who had been distracted by Iguodala and Matthews, hadn't reacted, Anjie had already risen into the sky.

Howard hurriedly took off to stop An Jie's attack, but before Howard got up, An Jie's strong body had already rammed past.

Thus, the scene that made the 20,000 fans in the audience boiled up like this happened. Seeing Howard had just jumped a few centimeters, An Jie just completed a strong dunk through the Warcraft with his hands high.

This buckle Anjie did not have the help of sprinting, nor the assistance of exaggerated jumping. But he simply used his strength in the air, and he forcibly completed the good show on Howard!

Howard was hit by An Jie and took a few steps back. When the power disappeared, he only saw An Jie hanging on the hoop with grinning teeth, and the basketball had leaked out of the net.

"Unbelievable dunk! Ann just used O'Neal to complete the goal! This guy, he completed a dunk on Dwight Howard!" Charles Barkley rarely made a surprised voice. But this time, even Barkley had to admire the excitement of the ball.

"In fact, with the exception of Ann’s final blow, the Blazers’ entire offense was very beautiful. Lillard’s calm organization, Iguodala and Matthews’ tacit running position, Aldridge’s good support ability, All laid the groundwork for this wonderful goal." O'Neal saw a wider picture than others. If Howard and Kobe weren't confused by the rest of the Trail Blazers, An Jie would not have been so calm. Complete the action.

Everything is as Ricard said, Anjie is now playing easier than before!

The already aggrieved Lakers were humiliated by An Jie's arrogant scoring at the beginning, and they naturally wouldn't let it go.

As soon as Nash dribbled the ball through halftime, Kobe raised his hand and asked for the ball. There is a rule in the Lakers, that is, no matter what tactics are played, as long as Kobe raises his hand for the ball, he must be given it. Therefore, Nash has not covered the heat of the ball in his hands, he must throw the ball directly to Kobe.

As a second-round pick, Wesley Matthews can play a wonderful performance, naturally, just like Angel, who can't do without hard training. This summer, Matthews did not waste time. In training, his outstanding defense made Ricard shine. It can be said that this guy is already an excellent perimeter defender.

But an angry Kobe is not so easy to be guarded. Kobe just swayed the ball twice, and then he shot it up against the defense!

"Kobe shot directly! Wesley Matthews sealed Kobe's face!" Kenny Smith was about to shake his head when he finished speaking, but he saw the orange basketball hit the net in a perfect arc!

"It actually got in! My God, this is Kobe Bryant, this is how the Black Mamba solves the problem!"

After scoring, Kobe raised his left hand and showed three fingers. He stared at An Jie with resolute eyes, expressing his determination to fight to the end!

"Wesley, today's game, you can bear it." Anjie patted Matthews on the shoulder, expressing sympathy for the terrible situation the shooting guard is about to encounter today. But at the same time, Anjie is also ready to respond to Kobe with another wonderful offense!

"First it was a powerful dunk, and then an unreasonable three-point shot. Audience friends, just two goals in the opening, the Blazers and the Lakers made us hooked. The game you are looking forward to, It seems that I will not let you down anymore."

After the Trail Blazers' second offense, Anjie and Lillard completed a simple cooperation of scoring and scoring. Although the coordination is simple, it works very well.

Last season, Felton's unstable three-point shooting percentage and low breakthrough ability prevented him from completing too much cooperation with Anjie. But after Lillard joined the team this season, Anjie can play a lot of new tricks on the offensive end.

Receiving the ball from Anjie again, Lillard passed Nash in one step. And when he passed Nash, the formation that the Lakers had just contracted because of An Jie's possession was not fully spread out. Taking advantage of the vacuum during the transition of the Lakers' defensive formation, Lillard rushed to make a jump shot. At this time, no Lakers player can complete the defense in the middle distance.

"Swipe." A sweet voice sounded, An Jie turned back to his defense with satisfaction, and touched Lillard's head on the way. The Lakers play under tremendous pressure over there, but the Trail Blazers are still relaxed. Even Lillard, a rookie who plays for the first time in the NBA, can score calmly.

Driven by Kobe, Dwight Howard also showed a strong aggressiveness. He used his body to force An Jie to advance more than once, and converted all shots that were not opportunities into scoring.

All kinds of incredible hooks, kicks, and throws. Howard tried his best, sweating profusely, and was able to score on Anjie's head.

And Anjie?

This time the attack on Lillard finally showed his sharp edge. He moved forward quickly after receiving the ball from the bottom line. Nash was already thrown away by Lillard just after halftime!

Angel jammed Howard, slowing his defense. At the same time Lillard has reached the basket, ready to layup!

Just when Howard and Gasol both took off at the same time to stop the rookie, Lillard calmly scored and allowed Iguodala, who had been waiting outside the wing three-point line, to get the ball.

Artest returned to the restricted area, no, he should be called Ci Shiping now, and he fought out. But after this guy changed his name, no matter whether it was speed or explosiveness, he couldn't compare with himself.

Iguodala easily got an open three-pointer opportunity, and the former 76ers star, naturally did not let this opportunity slip away in vain. Although not a pure three-point shooter, Iguodala's three-point shooting skills are still good.

Once again, the Trail Blazers finished the offense with ease. The Lakers can bite, but the price they cost to bite the score ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is several times higher than the Trail Blazers.

D'Antoni's tactics don't seem to work very well on F4. Most of the time, the stars of the Lakers are playing alone. Finally, when both sides started to enter the rotation, the balance point that the Lakers struggled to maintain was broken in one fell swoop!

The Lakers' starting lineup is luxurious, but their bench lineup is unsightly. On the other hand, the Blazers, with the efforts of Orsi and Anjie for a summer, they not only built a strong starting lineup, but also formed a second team enough to take over the game.

Derek Fischer, as the veteran of the Lakers, will not be soft on his old team. His organization is well organized and extremely lethal.

Courtney Lee and Batum can always get easy shots under the command of Fischer, while JJ Hickson and Meyers Leonard are two mobiles than Camby and Thomas. Stronger blue-collar insider.

Kobe looked gnashing his teeth off the court, but he couldn't help it. Even Kobe had to rest. Seeing his team being slaughtered on the court, Kobe really didn't feel good about it.

The first quarter is coming to an end, but Kobe and the Lakers still haven't gotten rid of their passive state. The more so, the more Kobe wants to win. The more Kobe wants to win, the more trouble Anjie and the others will be!

No matter how luxurious the Lakers F4 is, it is not as dangerous as an angry Kobe...
