The Way of the Center

The o9-1o season was the second year Anjie entered the nBa league, and it was also his first playoff game with the Thunder.

That year, Anjie was chanted mVp by fans throughout the Chesapeake Energy Arena at home. That year, when the Thunder failed, Kobe jumped onto the technical stage and received the worship of more than 20,000 people like a king.

And An Jie fell to the floor, and that was the first time he dropped his head in the entire series.

The young Thunder and the Lakers, the championship of the year, fought in a tie-breaker, but in the end, the Thunder and An Jie were defeated by the purple and gold legions.

At that time, the entanglement between Gasol and Bynum was very fatal to Anjie. Kobe's omnipotence also made the Lakers a thriving existence in that era.

Now three seasons later, it's also Anjie, it's also the Purple Army, and it's also Gasol. But the situation of the two has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Gasol's embarrassment on the defensive end makes people regret the glory of the Purple and Golden Army a few years ago.

Just now, Anjie pushed Gasol hard, and once again completed a heavy dunk at the basket. He was unscrupulous on the inside of the Lakers, and the low morale Gasol and Howard even bothered to have too much physical contact with An Jason.

The Lakers are falling behind more and more, what about D'Antoni? This mustache sits quietly on the sidelines like a okay person.

This season, the Lakers have changed three coaches. Among them, D'Antoni has the best record. Without him, the Lakers would not even be able to keep the eighth in the Western Conference.

But once entering the playoffs, even D'Antoni couldn't do better. The running and bombing he is good at cannot be implemented in the Lakers, and the Lakers players did not want to adapt to D'Antoni's tactics.

When Kobe struggled to rupture the Achilles tendon and collapsed, the entire Lakers actually collapsed.

Anjie still scored unscrupulously on the court, and Aldridge also used his excellent performance to beat Gasol to his head.

As one of the few rookies who can play in the playoffs, Lillard shines even more. D'Antoni changed several people to defend against Lillard, but the effect was minimal.

Howard and Gasol can still score, but their scoring efficiency is definitely not the efficiency that an insider should have.

Howard even smashed a ball under Anjie's guard. Gasol didn't have much advantage when facing Aldridge.

This war between the inside and the inside finally ended with Anjie and Aldridge's complete victory.

Since Anjie finished the defense that blocked the penalty area, Gasol and Howard couldn't afford to recover. But the cooperation between Anjie and Aldridge has become more exciting than ever.

"The false shots gave LaMarcus the basketball to LaMarcus, and LaMarcus dunked the ball after receiving it! Gasol's pace was a little slower."

"LaMarcus turned around for a jumper! No, it's not a jumper, it's a pass! An Gao jumped up, beautiful air relay, Howard has no reaction to this!"

"Another wonderful pass from Steve Nash, Ci Shiping got a big open shot. Oh, really shouldn't. This is the first time that Ci Shiping missed such an open shot in this game? Nash has only three assists so far. It's not because he doesn't pass or doesn't pass the ball well. It's because Nash's teammates couldn't convert his wonderful pass into a score.

Many fans who watched the game live in Los Angeles turned off the TV angrily. Even Kobe, who was in the hospital at the moment, shook his head helplessly.

In the opening game of the season, the Blazers defeated the Lakers F4 with a powerful posture. But Kobe didn't expect that the two teams that met in the opener would be in very different situations now.

He struggled to rupture his Achilles tendon in order for the Lakers to make the playoffs. However, his teammates did not want to seize this hard-won opportunity.

After the game reached the fourth quarter, the Lakers showed a state of slaughter. Ricard replaced all the main players early, but the situation for the Lakers did not improve at all.

Even Meyers Leonard scored a few goals on Howard, and Angel and Ricard were very happy to see this scene. After all, the bench players can play confidence, it is only good for the team, there is no harm.

Derek Fischer couldn't bear it until the end of the fight. Seeing his former club be beaten so embarrassed, Fischer was deeply moved.

Lakers backup guard Yuedi Meeks took possession of the ball after halftime, and Fischer didn't put too much pressure on the opponent at all, because he didn't need to do that.

Meeks feels very bad today, only hitting 1 goal in 6 shots, but for Lakers fans, this is the normal state of the Lakers bench players. Throughout the season, their bench players have shot the same percentage.

Meeks looked in front of him desperately. Even in the last moment, even with a full bench, the Blazers defense still looked solid.

At this moment, Meeks saw Howard open his hands for the ball inside. Meeks didn't even think about it, and immediately squeezed the ball into Howard's hands. He doesn't want to keep holding the ball, he continues to be the focus of the lens. The current Meeks couldn't find a hole to drill in.

Howard received the ball, angrily he planned to score one over Meyers Leonard. Forget about Anjie suppressing him, and now even Leonard, a rookie, doesn't put him in the eyes, which really annoys Howard.

Howard slammed into it, and Leonard's body was naturally unable to withstand such a huge impact.

At this moment, Anjie stood up. He made a gesture to Leonard, and Leonard also saw it. Only this detail of the interaction between Anjie and Leonard is rarely seen. Howard, who had been blinded by anger, couldn't even see it.

Howard, who had tasted the sweetness, gathered enough energy to prepare for the second shock. Leonard's defense has been up and down, Howard can turn around and dunk as long as he goes one step further!

Leonard swallowed. He knew what Anjie's gesture meant. During the training, Anjie explained to himself the main points of this movement more than once. Don't look at this as an opportunistic trick, but it is very difficult to grasp the timing.

Anjie still stood on the sidelines with his hips akimbo, watching the confrontation between Leonard and Howard intently. If An Jie changed into a suit, people might think he was the head coach.

"Come on, Meyers, come on, just like you did during training." Anjie muttered, he didn't want the confidence that Leonard had built up so hard to be crushed by Howard.

At this moment, Howard had a second impact! He slammed into Leonard behind.

"It's now!" Leonard saw Howard was about to collide with him, he did not block forward, but deliberately withdrew back!

At this time of retreat, Leonard and Anjie practiced hundreds of times. Today, his hard work has finally paid off!

"Damn bastard!" Howard felt that his back was empty. Without a point of effort, he knew something was wrong!

Looking again, An Jie was standing on the bench smiling triumphantly, and clapped Leonard. In the next second, Howard staggered back a few steps due to inertia, and the referee undoubtedly gave Howard a walking violation.

"Leonard's retreat is very beautiful, but I don't think Meyers himself can think of this way." As soon as Mike Brin finished speaking, the director inserted a replay. This replay is just before, Anjie commanding Leonard's defense from the sidelines.

"But Meyers is very lucky. Someone will help him find a way off the court. To be teammates with Ann, Meyers will definitely learn a lot."

Now, even if Anjie is not present, he can still affect the situation on the court. Howard's anger suddenly disappeared, replaced by a huge sense of frustration.

An Jie, this Chinese is like Yao Ming back then. As long as he met him, Howard was destined to have no good fruit. After another defeat, Howard's last bit of effort was exhausted by Anjie off the court.

"Good job Meyers, good job." Leonard happily ran over to attack, and when he passed the bench, Anjie also applauded for Leonard.

Now even the Blazers' bench has gone crazy, and the Lakers' odds of winning have approached zero.

When the game ended, Howard didn't even dare to watch the big score on the big screen. Judging from the voices of the fans in the Rose Garden Stadium, the Lakers must have lost by a big score!

Leonard hugged An Jie excitedly after he left the field. I have to say that this bear hug from the 2.16 meter big man made An Jie almost breathless.

Everyone was smiling and jumping happily. Some excited fans even took off their shirts, shirtlessly took the clothes and waved them injured.

79 to 1o1, with the away team in front and the home team behind. The 22-point difference is why the Blazers players and fans are so excited.

When did the Lakers players leave the field? No one cares. People are completely immersed in this joy, unable to extricate themselves~www.NovelMTL.com~What about the playoffs? This still does not bother Anjie and the Blazers. An Jie almost didn't play in the fourth quarter. He still had 28 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. After the comeback, Aldridge also scored 2o points.

In contrast to the Lakers, Howard's 2o points and Gasol's 16 points are the Lakers' two highest points. But Howard's 51% shooting rate and Gasol's 46% shooting rate are a bit horrible for the core insiders. In other words, the high scores of Gasol and Howard were just piled up through a large number of shots. The gold content of these two scores is far less than that of Angel and Aldridge.

In the first game of the playoffs, Anjie not only led the team to a good start, but also allowed the world to experience the terrifying strength of the Trail Blazers.

27 consecutive victories and 69 wins have shocked you? No, leave this shock to the moment Anjie wins the O'Brien Cup.
