The Way of the Center

"KG, KG, KG, KG..." All the fans in the TD North Shore Garden Arena are yelling these two letters neatly and regularly. Aldridge is not a tough insider, but one is about to The 37-year-old veteran completed the buckle, which still made fans here hooked.

Garnett was not in Boston at his peak, but he gave his last light here. Although only an "outsider" who joined midway, after bringing honor to Boston, fans here have long treated Garnett as their own. Now watching your beloved veteran score such a domineering goal, which Celtics fan will not be excited?

"Play big, KG." Pierce smiled and communicated with Garnett during the defense. This guy is like that, and always brings you some surprises from time to time.

"It's your turn Paul, now that the score has been tied, you should also show it." Garnett was as unsmiling as before, but with a fierce face. He has entered the state, he has regained the feeling of when he was young!

"Don't take it lightly, that guy is **** Kevin Garnett!" Seeing that Garnett broke through Angel Aldridge easily, Ricard was anxiously dancing on the sidelines. Seeing that the hard-to-obtain advantage was instantly filled by Garnett, the young marshal must feel uncomfortable.

Although the opponent scored a goal in a humiliating way, everyone on the Trail Blazers was not discouraged. They intend to use a more violent offense to suppress the offensive momentum of the Celtics and get rid of this passive situation.

When Garnett saw Anjie pushed toward the inside like a crazy beast, instead of being nervous, he licked his dry lips.

"It's real!" Garnett smiled excitedly. The next second, Anjie's sturdy and generous back leaned heavily towards Garnett.

Just this first time, Garnett was staggered back. But even so, Garnett is still inseparable from Anjie! Even if he knew it would be very embarrassing, Garnett still bravely used his chest to meet the huge impact of this power! This guy showed the unique toughness of a veteran!

But this toughness can scare An Jie, he sits back for the second time in a row. But when the impact was over, An Jie, who was in good condition, felt a burst of pain in his tail bone!

"Damn old ball ruffian!" An Jieqiang held back the pain and cursed in his heart. It turned out that Garnett raised his knee proficiently while An Jie was advancing. This one really worked. Although An Jie who was in pain would not let it go, at least he was slowed down by this one.

Taking this opportunity, Garnett suddenly rushed forward and bowed, his long arms stretched over An Jie's armpits, he wanted to take the ball away from behind!

An Jie immediately became vigilant. He raised the basketball high and hugged him. At this time, because Garnett's arm stretched to An Jie's armpit was also taken up by An Jie's hand, the arms of the last two were mixed together. . After that, the two big men were close to each other, violently competing for the basketball.

Just when Anjie and Garnett were preparing to fight each other's black hands, the referee's whistle finally sounded. Defensive fouls, the ball is still in control of the Trail Blazers.

"Are you coming? I'm telling you, the result will only be exactly the same." Before the ball came out, Garnett said it first. But An Jie seemed to be the same as he hadn't heard. He was not eager to find face, but first helped the teammates who needed to move to make a wall.

Garnett doesn't believe that An Jie can maintain a normal heart under his continuous verbal offensive. What is angry is that sooner or later, a player has a temper. Now Garnett only hopes that this process can be faster.

Is Anjie not aggrieved? Forced to be like this by a veteran, of course he was aggrieved. But the team's interests and tactics are always above the individual.

He would rather run according to the tactics, rather than breaking the team's deployment just because he wanted to vent.

Facts have proved that An Jie’s choice is correct. Through An Jie’s off-the-ball screen, Damien Lillard got a chance to shoot outside the three-point line directly by running. Although Lillard is a rookie, he did not hesitate. After the out-of-bounds ball was passed to him, he let it go again before he felt warm.

A simple tactic, but it allows the Trail Blazers to easily get 3 points.

"What is this skill? Should a rookie take responsibility for you? You are the most incompetent star I have ever seen. A guard who has only played in the NBA for just a month can take away your core position!" Even this time The offensive Anjie didn't even touch the ball, and Garnett didn't plan to let Anjie go. He continued to ridicule Anjie.

But Anjie still didn't respond to these words, he was like a piece of wood, letting Garnett talk endlessly in his ears. An Jie is definitely not the kind of refined person, he is just waiting, waiting for an opportunity to vent all his emotions!

Although Lillard scored a three-pointer, the Celtics players were not extinguished by this enthusiasm. In the next round of the Celtics offense, Pierce ran around this half for several laps, and finally found a chance to throw the ball 5 seconds before the offensive time ran out. And this time the shot also happened outside the three-point line.

Garnett and Pierce opened the bow left and right, so that the Trail Blazers have been unable to continue to expand the score. It wasn't until these two old guys were replaced that the young people of the Trail Blazers let out a sigh of relief.

But soon, "Brazilian Lightning" Leandro Barbosa, who performed poorly in the first quarter, finally found the feeling of the game. His shots collapsed the Trailblazers' defense. And Jeff Green's performance from beyond the three-point line is equally good, Iguodala's interference is always timely, but it is always a little worse.

In the end, the halftime score of the two sides was fixed at 57 to 56. Anjie didn't give a few good performances until Garnett left the field. For this, this guy is very angry. He is not mad at Garnett, but at himself!

As one of the best inside players in the league, Anjie was driven into desperation by an old man like Garnett. Garnett's scoring on Salinger after he left the field will only make him look more like a fool who is bullying and fearing hard work!

So as soon as the half-time game was over, An Jie refused all interviews and walked straight into the locker room. I am dissatisfied with my performance, and I am frustrated with myself. In such a situation, only oneself can solve it.

"We are only one point ahead, guys, one point!" In the locker room at halftime, Ricard was obviously also very unhappy. The young trailblazers were completely turned around by the experience of the Celtics.

"My fault!" At this moment, An Jie sitting in front of his cabinet raised his hand. Everyone's eyes fell on the yellow-skinned man in an instant.

"I made the guy Garnett crazy, and that's why the Celtics showed their momentum. I will do my best in the second half of the game. If I let Garnett get more than 5 points, I will fine. Go back and forth 300 times!"

The locker room was quiet for an instant. In fact, no one felt that the Celtics' approaching score was Anjie's fault. On the contrary, Anjie’s performance in the second quarter is why the Trail Blazers can now lead by one point.

"There must be no problem with Ann. He is limited to five points in a single quarter. You can do it." Fischer thought that An Jie was just angry, so he agreed.

"No Derek, I'm not talking about a single quarter, I'm talking about the entire second half!" Anjie replied with a firm expression.

Now let alone Fischer, even Ricard and Divac stared at Angel with wide eyes. Everyone has seen the state of Garnett in today's game. It is no easy task to defend this once the most powerful forward in the league to only five points in 24 minutes!

"I know it's not easy, but only in this way can we restore the situation!" An Jie looked at these surprised eyes, admitting that the mistake was not enough, and An Jie must make up for the mistake now!

"Okay, well, let's suppose that Ann has now sealed KG, then the other people's task is..." Ricard was relieved from the shock, and quickly arranged according to the conditions given by Anjie Made some tactics.

How long ago was it the last time An Jie got angry because he couldn't prevent others? No one remembers it clearly, because in a long period of time, there has not been an opponent who made An Jie so embarrassed. But Ricard had confidence in his disciple. This guy said he would not allow Garnett to score more than five points in the second half. Then the audience would wait to be shocked!

Garnett is very confident now, with the involvement of others, he himself is more comfortable inside. He can't wait for the start of the third quarter. Anjie? No matter how good An Jie is, he is still a human being. Now his state has been played out, and Garnett has no reason to interrupt him.

Those who have the same idea include Celtics coach Doug Rivers. The Celtics lineup is a bit shabby this season, and it is not easy to pick a strong offensive point here. But now, he can safely deploy a lot of tactics around Garnett, maybe even this experienced guy has forgotten, inside, that is the hardest part of the Blazers...

So as soon as the third quarter came up, the Celtics first played a tactical combination with KG as the core and the end point according to the arrangement.

First, Barbosa used his speed to break through to the mid-range position, then KG quickly pulled out, and Barbosa also accurately gave the ball to Garnett.

Garnett caught the ball one step behind the free throw line, and Anjie did not slack off and posted it directly. He is not afraid of Garnett breaking through, because Garnett can't match himself in speed. Adhere to defense without reservation, this is An Jie's choice.

Garnett originally planned to make a breakthrough after making a fake shot. This is his favorite rhythm and his most common tactic. But with An Jie's extremely tight close defense, Garnet especially said that he made a breakthrough, and he couldn't even make a fake shot.

The originally arranged tactics were suddenly interrupted at this point in Garnett, and the Celtics had to play temporarily, hoping to use this offense to overtake the score.

Garnett tried hard to protect the ball, and several times Anjie's squeeze almost caused Garnett to make a mistake. Finally, Paul Pierce walked behind Garnett, and the two veterans completed the handover with a hand-to-hand pass.

After getting the ball, Pierce glanced in front of him, Iguodala was not fully seated at this time, and Anjie was moved to the middle distance by Ganetra. In this way, opportunities are everywhere in the basket!

Pierce suddenly accelerated and hit Iguodala unexpectedly. Indeed, Pierce's speed is not fast, but his changing rhythm still makes Iguodala too late to react.

Seeing that he was about to rush into the free throw line, Pierce heard a shout from behind him. "Be careful!"

"Huh?" Pierce heard it. It was Garnett's voice. This guy was about to look back, but found that the basketball in his hand seemed to be shot away by something!

"Ann! He used his long arm to take the ball in Pierce's hand!" Mike Brin looked at this picture in disbelief. An Jie in front of Garnett froze by relying on his wingspan advantage. Pierce, who was about to break through, made a mistake! An Jie seized the fleeting moment, a player in the breakthrough process, the ball is usually the weakest.

After losing control of the ball, Anjie didn't even think about it. Everyone is still stunned, Garnett is already grinning and preparing to fight An Jie on the floor. At this moment, An Jie, lying on the ground, randomly threw the ball to the Celtics halftime.

The camera lens swiftly followed the orange basketball. When the angle of the lens was enough to capture all of the Celtics halftime, people discovered that a player wearing a Blazers black jersey was already there. Over there.

"Damien Lillard! When did this guy start!" One surprise after another, Mike Brin couldn't breathe.

The whole half was empty, how could Lillard let go of this opportunity to perform. He steadily caught the ball from An Jie sitting on the ground. After that, the zero defender continued to speed up the sprint. When his front foot stepped into the free throw line, the short defender took off.

Straight up and down, Lillard suddenly "flyed" as if out of gravity. From the camera's point of view ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Lillard's head is almost flat.

With a strong push with both hands, the basketball obediently fell into the net. Lillard followed his inertia and made a pull-up on the rim before letting it go.

"Holy, shit!" An Jie spit out these two words unconsciously while sitting on the ground, let alone a fan, even An Jie was shocked by Lillard's dunk.

Where's Garnett and Pierce? These two old guys were even more dumbfounded.

"It looks good? Don't worry, we still have a lot of performances." It wasn't until An Jie's voice rang in his ears that Garnett was relieved from the shock.

Anjie was not joking, the first ball was just a greeting. Garnett only scored five points at halftime, and Anjie did what he said!
