The Way of the Center

One second to remember 【】, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Jeff Hornacek shook his head helplessly. Marcus Morris just missed his third consecutive shot.

Robin Lopez, a lunatic, is more motivated than Hornacek imagined. Although Anjie left early, the Suns still did not take advantage of the interior.

After that, the two sides gradually took over the game with the second team. Ricard used Meyers Leonard and Robin Lopez's double center lineup partner to firmly control the rebounds.

The Suns began to increase the number of outside shots as arranged by Hornacek, but as long as they failed to make the ball, they would definitely not get a chance for a second attack.

On the other hand, the Blazers, Robin, the explosive big man, is completely different from his own brother. Brook is an offensive insider, Robin is an out-and-out defensive gate and rebounding machine.

His desire for offensive rebounds allowed Batum and Courtney Lee to shoot boldly. The Suns played the entire first quarter in such an unfavorable situation.

16 to 30, with Ricard giving Anjie a full rest, the Blazers ended their first quarter with a 14-point difference.

Bledsoe lost his way to the bench. After being alone, he wanted to do a lot of blood, but he suffered a major blow in the first quarter of the new season.

"Good job Robin." Anjie and his off-field teammates clapped one by one, among them Robin Lopez was the most enthusiastic.

This picture was sent to all parts of the world by photographers on the sidelines. In this regard, the remarks that Anjie and Robin cannot coexist are not self-defeating.

"You played well in the first quarter. Hornacek wants to play against us, so we have to increase the defensive intensity! When the Suns can't even do their offense well, they have nothing to do. Ann! You will go up at the beginning of the second quarter. I want you to connect your teammates on the offensive end and on the defensive end to let the Suns know what despair is!" Ricard’s loud shout and Hornacek’s anxiety on the other side formed sharp contrast.

Hornacek was also yelling, but he was already in disarray and had no rules. If a team can't hold back even the head coach, how can the players calm down?

After the start of the second quarter, Bledsoe immediately launched a frantic attack.

He directly received the ball from the bottom line and pushed forward. In the face of Andre Miller who only relied on experience to defend, Bledsoe's breakthrough was still easy.

No pick and roll, no cover. Bledsoe, like James, used the most crude and direct way to attack the basket.

The Suns reserve center, this year's No. 5 rookie Alex Lane immediately pulled to the middle distance. This Ukrainian center is different from Pramley in that he has a softer touch and is also quite threatening in the middle distance.

An Jie hesitated, after all, he still doesn't know what the shooting ability of this rookie center is.

On the other hand, Meyers Leonard's opponent Marcus Morris is also a good shooting player. Anjie couldn't expect Leonard to carry this shock for himself, he decided to block the basket first and let Alex Lane, a first-year rookie.

Although Bledsoe is not a playmaker, he is not even invisible to such a big gap. Seeing Anjie moved to the basket, Bledsoe hit the ground as he was marching, and Alex Lane got the chance to score the first point in the NBA!

Ryan naturally knows how terrifying An Jie's defensive ability is. Last season, Ryan saw his frontal capture of James and didn't know how many times.

So Ryan did not dare to slack off, he hurriedly shot, for fear that his shot would be slapped by An Jie.

An Jie immediately changed his focus and rushed towards Ryan, but Ryan still took An Jie first and successfully shot the basketball to the basket.

Ryan's hasty shot did make him avoid An Jie's palm, but likewise, this anxious shot also made Ryan, who was already inconsistent in his shooting, missed a scoring opportunity.

The basketball hit the outside of the basket and bounced directly out. Aldridge jumped high and protected the rebound for An Jie.

"Ryan has actually got a very good opportunity, but unfortunately, he is a bit too nervous." Kenny Smith shook his head. It seems that Ryan wants to score points in the NBA and has to wait a little longer.

"Of course, after all, there can be a few rookies who are not nervous when facing An Jie?" O'Neal smiled triumphantly. Even the second-year Pramley was led by An Jie. Ryan, naturally, could not calmly face the terrifying ruler of the restricted area.

The players of the Suns and the coach Hornacek have great potential, but their potential will take longer to be realized. Obviously, at least this game is not the time for the Suns to harvest results.

Anjie's first defense at the beginning of the second quarter made Ricard quite satisfied. If Bledsoe continues to obsessively break through, he will only sink the Suns deeper and deeper.

In the subsequent offense, An Jie used the method of turning over to shoot a jumper with a back-hit, and educate the rookie Ryan severely. The center forward's shooting should be as calm and confident as he is. Although fear and haste can make you avoid blocks, they still can't make you score points for the team.

"This is the obvious gap between Ann and the others. Ryan is a good center shooter. But compared to An, he is still far behind."

In the second offense of the Suns, Bledsoe continued to choose to break through. Andre Miller, like Lillard, was helpless with this tank-style breakthrough.

This time, Bledsoe did not choose to continue head-on with Anjie. It was a sudden stop, jumping high, ready to jump shot!

At this time, the advantage of Miller's "old fritters" is reflected. Seeing Bledsoe's direct shot, Miller made some small moves on Bledsoe's body covertly. Bledsoe was very uncomfortable with his waist being pushed, but the referee's whistle did not sound as expected.

No way, Bledsoe had to bite the bullet and shoot. There is no doubt that this shot only brought An Jie a rebound in the end.

Hornacek immediately complained to the referee, he clearly saw Miller had dirty hands. But this is of no avail. Miller's old slick head is impossible to be grasped by the referee.

To say that Miller is defending with experience is not a derogatory term.

After Anjie protected the rebound, he signaled Miller to slowly push the position. Miller used his changeable rhythm to make Bledsoe unable to find North.

Miller's footsteps are definitely the top defenders. The most frightening thing is that this guy's passing skills are not inferior to those of his younger vision.

He used An Jie's pick-and-roll to disturb the sun, who was not good at defensively. After that, he just passed it lightly, and people discovered that An Jie was already in the empty position.

"What!?" Ryan did not expect that the cooperation between Anjie and Miller would be such a tacit understanding. In fact, this is the first time that Anjie has cooperated with Miller in an official competition. Their tacit understanding can only be regarded as ordinary. . It can only be said that Ryan's current tactical training is still far worse than that of NBA-level players.

Hornacek held his forehead, he knew it would be a challenge to take over the rebuilding sun. It's just that he didn't expect that this challenge would drive himself into a desperate situation so quickly.

Only a few rounds were played in the second quarter, and the "Death Gun" called a timeout again.

"It's been stopped again, maybe coach Hornacek still can't grasp the time to call the timeout."

"No, if Hornacek doesn't call a timeout, I'm afraid the point difference will be widened. This is a team that defeated the Heat's Big Three. The Suns want to win, and what they have done now is far from enough. "

Off the court, Hornacek did not continue to comfort his players. Especially Bledsoe, this guy's uncomfortable breakthrough has caused the Suns to miss too many opportunities.

"Goran, you will go on the court later to control the ball. Integrity, our offense needs to be integrated! Look at the offense of the Trail Blazers, even if the defending champions, they always put sharing the ball first! At this point, we have not done enough!" Hornacek named Dragic to control the ball, and Bledsoe naturally did not have the right to continue asking for the ball.

Although Hornacek didn't say it explicitly, Bledsoe knew that he had already begun to lose points in the head of the coach.

"Also, Eric." Just when Bledsoe was frustrated, Hornacek suddenly called his name.

"Yes!" Bledsoe straightened his waist abruptly.

"You are involved on the offensive end a lot, a lot of running. Open space for your teammates and yourself, believe me, your deterrence is enough to open the gap for the team. As long as you are open, I also believe that Golan will Put the ball in your hands in time." Hornacek patted Bledsoe on the shoulder. This simple move made Bledsoe, who had been lost, refreshed~www.NovelMTL.com~No Don’t admit it, An Jie’s old alumnus is really a master of psychology.

"I know we are still leading a lot now, but guys, the game is not over, and the opponents have not given up! Don't take it lightly, keep working hard, let us keep our advantage until halftime!" Ricard knows that the Suns today are not. Will be slaughtered by others, you can tell from the eyes of those people.

Ricard removed the half-starter and half-substitute lineup and faced off with a complete starting five. On the Suns side, Hornacek also put all the starting points on the field.

It is impossible that every time the Suns players face a setback, Hornacek can solve the problem with a little encouragement.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. The Suns players have suffered too many setbacks in this quarter and a half of the game. If this time, they are full of confidence and are hit again, I am afraid their morale will really dry up.

Hornacek knows this, Ricard knows this, and Angel, who has been in the NBA for more than five years, also knows this.

"Guys!" An Jie yelled after coming onto the court. "Break them down!" For mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
