The Way of the Center

Chapter 545: : The moment to show results

In the first game, the Grizzlies lost to the magical Anjie. Gasol still remembers that there were several **** that day, and he had completely blocked An Jie. However, An Jie insisted on shooting and scored the ball.

This kind of unreasonable goal is the most detrimental to the morale of the defensive team. Once the Grizzlies' defense is loose, they have nothing.

Do you want the Grizzlies to rely on offense to chase points? Please, let Lionel Hollins find a few stable three-point shooters first. Regardless of the fact that the Trail Blazers are also a team focused on inside offense, the three-pointers of Matthews, Batum, Courtney Lee and even Fisher are also very deadly. And these things are exactly what the Grizzlies lack.

So the Grizzlies can only rely on defense, and Anjie is their biggest obstacle on the defensive end.

But today is different, Marc Gasol is ready to fight Anjie to the end. He doesn't believe that the Chinese wearing the No. 00 jersey can play unreasonable performances in two consecutive games. As long as An Jie can be restricted, the Blazers' offense will be much inferior.

"Follow Ann, follow Ann all the time. I want you to defend him at all costs, and it will be difficult for him to do any action." Lionel Hollins still set up his tactics one second before the start of the game. , This guy did everything he could. Next, look at the performance of Anjie and Marc Gasol.

Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping still came to the scene, and they were confident in the second game of the Trail Blazers.

"In the first game between the two sides, Anjie has proven that his ability is above Marc Gasol. Maybe Gasol will be the Grizzlies advantage when he meets other teams. But when they meet the pioneer In addition, the advantage of the center position is gone. When a team can't play the strongest at all, it is difficult for them to win." Zhang Weiping is seizing the time to analyze the trend of the playoffs.

"Director Zhang is right, unless the Grizzlies have amazing soldiers, such as Mike Conley, such as Tony Allen. Otherwise, the Grizzlies are in a really bad situation. Well, the referee has thrown the ball to In the air, audience friends, the game has officially started!"

Before the game, the picture of Westbrook's injury has been emerging in Anjie's eyes. He sympathized with his brother very much, and at the same time, this scene also sounded a wake-up call for himself.

Grab the moment! Win all the games that you can win and leave no regrets for your career!

Thinking of this, An Jie instantly felt that power filled his whole body. With a sudden jump, he ran into the basketball first before Marc Gasol.

Without any suspense, the Trail Blazers won the first strike. An Jie rarely lost a face-off to his opponent. In 82 games of the regular season, An Jie may not have lost even 10 games.

Lillard had just received the ball, and Tony Allen was ready to defend. Seeing this situation, Lillard immediately gave the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala, the small forward, controlled the ball and pushed it forward!

Iguodala controls the basketball skillfully and organizes the offense in a decent manner. Because of Lillard's existence, people seem to have forgotten that this very athletic small forward is not bad at organizing offenses.

When he was still playing in Philadelphia, Iguodala was often compared to ai. The 183 cm Allen Iverson is a point guard with the heart of a shooting guard in his body. The 198 cm Iguodala is the shooting guard's body with the soul of the point guard.

Although Iguodala's position became the third position after coming to the Blazers due to tactical needs, this did not affect Iguodala's ability to organize an offense.

Compared to Lillard, Iguodala's organization is more stable. This guy shouted loudly, and his teammates obediently followed Iguodala's command.

"Damn it!" Although Tony Allen defended Lillard very hard, he knew that he had been led to the weak side by Lillard. At this moment, Tony Allen wants to defend the object most is Iguodala, who is in possession of the ball.

But no way, no matter how good Tony Allen's defense is, all he can do now is just watch.

Iguodala commanded for a long time, and after his teammates opened up the space, he suddenly hit the ground with a pass and smoothly fed the ball into Anjie's hands.

Anjie holds the ball with his back to the basket, his back has been testing Gasol's defense. At the same time, Aldridge started to move, and when he had just run a step into the free throw line, Anjie passed the ball.

Randolph did not dare to rush into the grab, he was afraid that he would lose his position because of the forward steal. This guy knows that to defend Aldridge, you have to make sure that you are always in front of him.

After receiving the ball, Aldridge simply tried two times, but because he was in the penalty area, he had to make a quick decision, otherwise he would be beaten for three seconds later.

After the trial step, Aldridge did not choose to break through. Instead, he took a step back and cast it when he pulled it up!

Aldridge's shooting point is very high. Randolph, who is not dominant in height and wingspan, reacted in a timely manner, but he could not touch the basketball held high by Aldridge.

However, defense is more than just steals and blocks, it can interfere with the opponent's shots, which is also a type of successful defense.

Randolph did just that, he thought he had blocked Aldridge's sight. Under such severe interference, the Trail Blazers' first offense only ended in failure.

An Jie looked at the trajectory of the basketball and smiled slightly. After that, the basketball hollowed into the net. Marc Gasol thought that An Jie did not want to waste his energy on the card position, but he did not know that An Jie had anticipated the result of this attack. This kind of goal, Aldridge scored countless times in Anjie's head. So Anjie is also very clear about under what circumstances the ball will be scored and under what circumstances he needs to fight for rebounds.

"It worked!" Ricard waved his arm vigorously. He made Anjie and Aldridge, the two leading stars, "harm each other". It was indeed the right choice.

Randolph said nothing, he just shook his head in annoyance. But Lionel Hollins, who was sitting on the bench, was very nervous. Today, shouldn't it be Aldridge's turn to break out?

The Grizzlies launched a counterattack, and Mike Conley's offense seems to be particularly strong today. It can be seen from the fact that he made a dazzling string of dribbles in front of Lillard.

Conley almost disappeared in the last game, making the media quite criticize him. Today, Conley wants to prove that a first-year senior rookie can't help himself!

Don't say that these dazzling dribbling moves are fancy, Conley's fake moves really fooled Lillard. While Lillard was hesitant, Conley suddenly accelerated his breakthrough and plunged into the penalty area.

Anjie faithfully implemented Ricard's instructions and guarded the basket! So when Marc Gasol exited the three-second zone to make room for Conley's attack, Anjie did not choose to follow Gasol out. Instead, he opened his arms and waited for Mike Conley to cast himself in the net.

Conley didn't slow down, facing An Jie with his wide open hand, he leaped suddenly, as if he was going to force a layup!

However, just as An Jie also took off and prepared to block the shot, Conley stuffed the ball from An Jie's armpit into the hands of Gasol in the air.

Little Gasol didn't even jump, he just threw the ball with a light footstep. And the undisturbed shots are also hollow into the frame.

"Nice cooperation, the connection between Gasol and Mike Conley is very tacit." Even Yu Jia, who supported Anjie, praised the Grizzlies' offense this time. After all, it's hard to see these pictures on the Grizzlies who are not good at offense.

Ricard knew that Lionel Hollins would not remain indifferent after losing a game, but he did not expect that Hollins would put the treasure on Mike Conley.

In the first game, the Grizzlies’ offensive core was Gasol. But today, the offensive core of the Grizzlies has become Conley.

"Interesting." Ricard supported his chin with his hand, and the Grizzlies actually figured out a solution on the offensive end? Does this mean that the Grizzlies are about to evolve, or does it mean they are just struggling?

The offensive ball once again returned to the hands of the Trail Blazers, Tony Allen still sticks to Lillard, Iguodala once again assumed the role of offensive.

Perhaps the low-key Iguodala during the regular season is often forgotten by people, but the players and coaches of the Trail Blazers know how great Iguodala can be.

It's not that this guy can't fight, but he likes the positioning of role players.

After Iverson left the 76ers that year, everyone hoped that Iguodala could be the trump card. For others, this is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But it is strange that Iguodala's style of play is still a role player, and he is still more willing to be a second-in-command.

Maybe, this guy is a player of this style in his bones. Even though he has strong personal abilities, he is still willing to do all the dirty work. This guy doesn't compete for statistics, but calmly does everything the team needs.

Because of this, Iguodala will be less visible in the regular season. But this does not mean that this guy is useless.

Iguodala pretended to pass, but suddenly broke through Aldridge's pick and roll!

The heavy steps of the "old prince" Tyshaun Prince were like walking in the quagmire of knees, but what about Iguodala? People are skating on the ice at that speed!

In almost just one step, Prince was cleaned by Iguodala. Prince, who was not at a superior speed, encountered Aldridge's pick-and-roll and was helpless at all.

Iguodala broke through with the ball, and the Grizzlies lineup began to shrink unconsciously. Faced with such an opportunity, Iguodala did not greedy merit. He just lightly passed the ball back, and Aldridge, who mentioned high to the pick and roll, got a chance!

Now, the one defending in front of Aldridge is Prince. If even Randolph's height can't interfere with Aldridge's shooting, then Prince can't do it even more.

Aldridge took the ball and shot, which is still the iconic high shot point. The basketball is as if it has been remotely controlled. It traverses a perfect arc and enters the net again!

"Two goals in a row, you can see that Aldridge feels very hot today."

After the goal was scored, Anjie gave high fives to Aldridge and Iguodala in the process of retreating. The excellent performance of these two guys greatly relieved the burden on myself

His teammates have put out such a strong performance, how can An Jie, the head star, shrink back?

This time, both Marc Gasol and Randolph made a double pick and roll match for Conley.

Although Anjie received the order to defend the basket, the tactics are dead, but people are alive.

Seeing Gasol mentioned the high position, Anjie also chased him out. He doesn't want to give Gasol a chance to shoot in an open position~www.NovelMTL.com~Angel understands that this Spaniard's fixed-point shooting ability is no worse than his own.

Seeing Anjie walked out of the restricted area, Mike Conley felt so happy. As long as Anjie is not there, he is fearless!

The small guard used the pick and roll to go straight to the basket. The huge obstacle of the double pick and roll made Lillard and Aldridge helpless against Conley's breakthrough.

Conley's speed is very fast. Fortunately, even if Iguodala appeared, he forced Conley to slow down.

But Conley, who has already rushed up, will not be afraid of Iguodala's blockade. He directly starts three steps with inertia, and puts Iguodala's body on his shoulders to complete the layup. No matter how bad it is, Conley feels that making a foul is also an option!

He leaped high, and Iguodala had no room to cover it. Mike Conley gave the basketball lightly. He is bound to win such a good opportunity!

Lionel attaches great importance to himself, and Conley does not want to disappoint his coach. He hopes Conley can lead the team to victory, then Conley will stand up now!

The basketball gradually approached the basket, and Iguodala stared at the spinning basketball, as if the basketball would change its trajectory because of Iguodala's fierce eyes.

Both Conley and Iguodala are about to land, and under the spotlight, the basketball is about to fall.

Some Grizzlies fans who came with the team stood up and raised their arms. They finally had a chance to cheer in the rose garden. however......

"Pop!" There was a crisp first.

"Boom!" After that, there was the dull sound of a basketball hitting the backboard.

Looking again, An Jie had just landed, gritted his teeth.

"Get out of my turf, Mike!" An Jie yelled lowly, frightening Conley. Find this site and search for \"Apiston Novel 208xs\", or please remember this site URL:
