The Way of the Center

　　 "MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!..." After the game, the fans of Rose Garden cheered. They chanted the three letters of MVP to dedicate An Jie, who played with injuries and gave fans a wonderful performance on Christmas Eve.

Anjie stood in front of the technical stage and enthusiastically waved and interacted with the fans in the stands. This guy's left **** and ring finger are still tied together, but the perfect performance of 32 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks makes you never see that this is a person who is being devastated by injuries.

DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin are one of the hottest inside combinations in the league. The super athletic ability of these two guys makes them often appear in the top ten shots. Therefore, this also gave fans the false impression that "these two guys are very strong".

But today, An Jie has beaten these two guys to the ground with his own strength. Jordan had 6 points and 6 rebounds. Griffin's data was slightly better, but only 13 points and 6 rebounds were accounted for. The combined scores and rebounds of these two guys are not as much as An Jie's alone.

Chris Paul tried his best and scored 20 points and 10 assists with a 53% shooting rate, which is a very good number for a point guard. However, this guy, who may be the best point guard in the league, was defeated again in a duel with the best center forward.

Counting from last season's playoffs to the present, the Clippers and the Blazers have met 6 times and lost 6 times in a row. It seems that the Clippers can't win the cycle when they face the Trail Blazers. It seems that it will have to continue for a while.

After losing the ball, Paul did not accept any reporter interviews, he went straight into the visiting team's locker room. Presumably, the "Captain of Los Angeles" should not be in the mood to attend the press conference afterwards.

The 11-game winning streak that the Clippers are proud of was ultimately buried in Portland.

"This year's Christmas game saw a lot of big wins. For example, the Celtics defeated the Nets by 17 points in the first game of Christmas. Later, the Rockets also scored 23 points in the Texas Derby. It’s not good to kill the Mavericks. But to be honest, I didn’t expect that there would be a gap of more than double digits in the final showdown of the Christmas War. The Heat beat the Thunder 103 to 97, which is still within our acceptance range. But the Blazers, who just lost to the Kings, defeated the 11-game winning streak of the Clippers by 14 points. This is indeed something we didn't expect before the game." Kenny Smith has been analyzing the game until an interview came from the scene. Before, he couldn't let the live broadcast be cold.

"What we didn't expect was not just the result of the game, Kenny. Coach Ricard's scheduling in the second half of the game was also shocking. Under a traditional coach who played with the center as the core, he unexpectedly appeared. Seniors and juniors are a formation that emphasizes offensive and speed from the outside. The most important thing is that the Blazers’ juniors and seniors are still dominated by slow pace and interior offense. I think coach Ricard has already inadvertently, Created a new tactical style." At that time when O'Neal played, few coaches dared to use a small lineup to play. But in this era when the ability of inside players is getting worse, the small lineup has already achieved success in many teams. It's just that O'Neal didn't expect that the Trail Blazers would have a share.

"Well, our front reporter has finally found coach George Ricard, let us hear what he will say about his tactical ideas." Signal everything, the T.NT trio in the studio disappeared from the screen , Replaced by the scene of the interview with Ricard by the reporter on the spot.

"Coach Ricard, did you premeditate or make a temporary decision about the way Iguodala was raised to the fourth position in the second half of the game?" The reporter briefly raised the question.

"To be honest, we were forced to make such a move. But fortunately, the effect is very good." Ricard smiled and faced the camera, this guy looked in a good mood.

"Today, the power of the small lineup has been revealed. Later in the absence of Aldridge, will you continue to use Iguodala as the starting fourth?"

"No comment. I have nothing to comment on the future of our tactics." Ricard said, blinking at the camera, and ended the interview.

Denagro had thought that there was no secret between the two opponents who were familiar with each other, but today he was defeated by the Blazers' brand new tactics.

This time, not only Denagro, but the head coaches of the other 29 teams in the league have to scratch their heads. The most feared thing the head coach encounters when formulating tactics is the uncertainty of the opponent. The greater the opponent's uncertainty, the more difficult it is for the coach to develop targeted tactics. However, Ricard now makes the Trail Blazers cloudless, leaving opponents confused.

In addition to Ricard, Anjie, who killed Jordan and Griffin on his own, became the second guy to become a big hit in the Christmas War.

It’s just that Anjie’s mood for the interview today is not high. He always answers reporters' questions very briefly, and then leaves in a hurry. If you meet a reporter again, things will repeat like this.

The reporters thought that An Jie was so anxious because his injured finger needed to be dealt with in time. In fact, An Jie just didn't want Catherine to wait for too long.

After all, after the game, the Christmas Eve of this couple will continue...

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

The Christmas War, as a small climax in the regular season, can always make participating teams and players the center of recent topics. Therefore, the Trail Blazers and Anjie have once again made the headlines of various newspapers.

Having said that, since the beginning of this season, the popularity of the Trail Blazers and Anjie has never dropped. When the Lakers F4 was in deep water and the Clippers were difficult to break the spell, only the Blazers maintained the strong momentum they had in the early season.

When Aldridge had a heart attack, some people thought that the Blazers' prime time was over. When An Jie fractured his finger, countless people came forward and accused him of being a glass man, accusing him of being a "pseudo superstar." However, he played with injuries, but with his actual performance, most people's faces were swollen.

From Anjie's injury to the present, the Trail Blazers have played a total of 4 games, and they also won 3 of them, making the team still top the list with a record of 21 wins and 5 losses. And Anjie, the performance in these four games are very good.

If there are still people who doubt that An Jie will be knocked down by injuries, there are still doubts that the Blazers will drive higher and lower. That kind of person may not care about the result of the game at all, just want to "smear" the Trail Blazers.

After the Christmas War, there are only two games left on the Trail Blazers' 2012 schedule. An away game to challenge the Lakers in F4, and a home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Although Catherine has always insisted on going to Los Angeles with An Jie to play away games, An Jie still feels a little inappropriate. There is no such precedent in the NBA when dragging the family away when playing away. Moreover, he didn't want Catherine to work very hard for herself when she was not working.

Arriving in Los Angeles, Anjie finally ceased to be the focus of attention of the media and reporters. After all, there are too many people and news worthy of attention in this starry city of angels.

The Lakers F4 experienced the greatness of the Trail Blazers during the season opener, and their current record of 13 wins and 14 losses does not match this star-studded lineup.

But counting the victory in the Christmas War against the Knicks, the Lakers F4 finally achieved the season's longest five-game winning streak. At present, this team is finally showing signs of getting on the right track.

And today, at Staples, they did show great strength.

Kobe may be one of the few outside players in this league who is not afraid of Anjie's defense. His comprehensive offensive methods don't have to fight Anjie on the inside at all.

Without Aldridge, Pau Gasol is also rare to be liberated. Facing the Lakers, Ricard can no longer use Iguodala to play the fourth position. Gasol is not Griffin. This guy can shoot Iguodala alive by relying on his height advantage.

The excellent performance of Gasol and Kobe naturally attracted Anjie's defense. However, Anjie couldn't concentrate on guarding the basket, and Howard's opportunity came.

The Lakers controlled the situation unexpectedly throughout the game. In the end, they also won a tough battle with a slight advantage of 100 to 104.

After the game, Anjie was very unwilling to throw off his headband. In this game, he scored 27 points and 10 rebounds, which is much better than the 15 points and 9 rebounds that Howard "leaked". But the cooperation of Kobe and Gasol, a classic team of partners, made Anjie seem to have returned to the year when the Thunder were eliminated by the Lakers.

The Lakers did their wish to win six straight victories, while the Trail Blazers experienced their third loss in five games.

At this time, all the media or reporters who praised Anjie after the Christmas War have turned their guns upside down.

But An Jie has become accustomed to these brainless reports, even if you are Jordan, when you fail, someone will come out to ridicule. However, on the basketball court, failure is as necessary as hard work.

In the face of huge doubts, Anjie and his Trail Blazers easily defeated the rebuilding 76ers in the last game of 2012.

The 76ers had planned to rebuild the team with Bynum as the core. After all, last season, Bynum really did a good job.

"They actually exchanged the league's first center for the league's third center!" This is Bynum's comments on the Lakers after he learned that he was traded in exchange for Howard. The arrogant "Little Shark" had already regarded himself as the first center last season, but An Jie was surprised that he could rank second in Bynum's heart. He thought that Bynum who hated him would treat himself It's last. But this guy seems to forget that when he was playing in the playoffs, he was suppressed by An Jie in all aspects!

Little did he know that after Bynum airborne to Philadelphia, he was directly reimbursed for the season without even playing a game. This injury has left the current 76ers with nothing. Evan Turner in 10 years? This guy has not yet been able to prove himself, let alone the ability to lead the team.

Although the 76ers have two good brothers from last season, Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton, the 76ers are still too weak in front of the Blazers to fight back.

Felton was beaten by Lillard, the young replacement, and couldn't find North, Wallace? This guy is still suffering from injuries. What caused Gerald Wallace to be upset was the elbow given to Wallace by Bynum, the 76ers' "home star". The world is really amazing... Now these two enemies are actually playing in the same team, and they are also injured at the same time...

An Jie played easily and freely in this game, Thaddeus Young and Lavoy Allen, the two insiders, couldn't even catch up to half of An Jie's.

Height, body, technique, consciousness... The 76ers' inside combination is completely defeated, and there is no advantage.

An Jie scores when he wants to score on the inside ~www.NovelMTL.com~ No one can stop him in a real sense. Of course, if a foul is counted, then this sentence is still open for discussion.

An Jie pierced the inside line, and the outside group of the Trail Blazers became more and more crazy. In the end, Catherine almost fell asleep in the stands. Because of the results and process of the game, it was too boring and too boring. Competitive sports games that have lost their suspense are the least favorites of all fans.

87 to 104, the Blazers won by 17 points at home, bringing their 2012 to an end.

After the game, Angel and Felton embraced each other, and asked him to bring greetings like Gerald Wallace. Only Anjie could see how reluctant Felton was to leave the rose garden.

Although the Trail Blazers broke down in the Western Conference Finals last year, there are too many memories of Felton's struggle and victory here.

And Felton was in the 76ers this season, except for failure and depression, nothing...

With 22 wins and 6 losses, at the end of 2012, the Trail Blazers still occupy the top position in the Western Conference. But this ranking certainly cannot satisfy An Jie.

His wish is not simply to be the first in the regular season, but to win the supreme trophy in 2013.

The first in the West is just the beginning of a link between the past and the next.
