The Way of the Center

Thaddeus Young stepped onto the field very proudly. Today, his performance is even better than Aldridge.

Ironically, Aldridge is good at mid-range shooting. As for Thaddeus Young, today it happened to be shooting from the mid-range, which made Aldridge lose his temper.

Since the 76ers have strengthened their defense in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers, except for Anjie, have been shooting poorly. Therefore, whether it is from the scene or the statistics, Thaddeus Young squeezed Aldridge severely.

Therefore, Thaddeus Young is full of confidence for the upcoming final five minutes of the game. Aldridge has undoubtedly lost to himself today, and nothing will change in the last five minutes.

However, when Yang saw that on the other side of the court, Aldridge put on his training suit and sat on the bench obediently, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Is this guy Ricard intending to replace Aldridge at this critical moment?

Who will change? Meyers Leonard? Robin Lopez? Or is it Thomas Robinson, who is athletic and very hardworking?

In other words, Ricard will use Iguodala to play the fourth position as he did last season, so that the Blazers' offense will be unstoppable.

The most feared situation in Thaddeus Yang's heart is the last one. Against Iguodala, Yang can't guarantee that he can still play so well. But others? Haha, just let the horse come.

Finally, after Robin walked onto the court with a conspicuous explosive head, Thaddeus Yang couldn't help but secretly joy.

Indeed, in terms of defense alone, Robin Lopez is indeed more difficult than Aldridge. But Thaddeus Young, who is always inconsistent, can use his mobility advantage to turn Robin around.

"Do you think such a substitution can contain me? Don't look down on people too much!" Thaddeus Yang said to himself, I'm sorry, today's New Year's Day battle does not belong to Anjie, nor does it belong to Micah. Prestige. It belongs to him, Thaddeus Young, who entered the league a year earlier than Anjie!

The game restarted and the Trail Blazers had the ball.

Lillard fulfilled Ricard's request as soon as he came on the court. He beckoned to call for Anjie's pick-and-roll, but he suddenly started, leaving the rookie McAway far behind him.

Seeing that there was only one Thaddeus Young left in the inside line, Lillard didn't hesitate to attack the frame by force.

Thaddeus Young's defense is not brilliant. To be precise, the entire 76ers team can't find a good defensive person. Their defense today relied more on that hard work, but now, Lillard's hard work has overtaken his defenders.

Thaddeus Young took off without fear, Lillard flexed his waist in the air, drilled through Yang's armpit, and scored the basket with a low hand.

Not only that, the referee also blew Yang a defensive foul when the ball was scored. Thaddeus Young rushed to the referee excitedly to question, but in the eyes of outsiders, his action was nothing more than a jester-like comic.

"Be brave and inexperienced, it's Thaddeus Young's defense this time." Even the CCTV commentary couldn't help but complain.

Even if someone scores a goal for such an obvious foul, then going to the referee for theory will only highlight the mentality that you can't afford to lose.

Lillard's free throw hits steadily, and the further the game is, the harder this guy seems to be playing.

Thaddeus Young, who was distracted by this **** three-pointer, decided to find face offensively. He must become the best in the audience today, and he must prove that he is better than everyone present today.

Robin Lopez? small issue!

Thaddeus Young actively picked up and rolls for McAway. After McAway broke through and took the defense, Thaddeus Young immediately raised his hand for the ball.

McAway, who had a low hit rate today, didn't turn a blind eye to this. He turned his wrist inward and slapped the ball back. The basketball hit the wooden floor hard and then bounced back to Thaddeus Young, who was one step away from the three-point line.

Thaddeus Young received the basketball, and instantly this guy's adrenaline began to soar. Yang really likes the feeling of having the ball in hand!

However, when Thaddeus Young looked up to observe the fit of the defense, he grew his mouth and couldn't react.

At this time, Robin Lopez was entangled with Hawes near the three-second zone. And An Jie, pressing down the center, opened his exaggerated long arms, staring at him in front of Thaddeus Young!

"Is this a dislocation or a change of defense!? Will Yang, who ran away today, be able to defeat An Jie!?" Mike Brin suddenly became excited. Every time An Jie singles out the opposing star player, he is destined to be equal. wonderful.

Thaddeus Yang swallowed. Although his performance today is good, he has not forgotten his first name and last name. There is no problem with Aldridge heads-up, and Robin Lopez is barely possible.

But singles Anjie? What an international joke!

"Hey, didn't you just be irritable? Why, were you afraid?" Seeing that Thaddeus Yang Chichi didn't respond, An Jie took the lead in opening the gun mode.

"Damn it!" Thaddeus Yang gritted his teeth, he kept reminding himself in his heart that you must not mess around, you must not mess around!

In the end, Yang handed the golfer to Turner, who was actively running. An Jie's deterrence was really terrifying. An Jie was just standing in front of him, and Yang Du felt that the surrounding air seemed to become extremely thin in an instant.

Turner catches the ball and flashes past Thaddeus Young. Iguodala's defense is really good. Turner feels that he wants to get rid of it. The difficulty is much greater than before.

But through that hand-to-hand cooperation, Turner still opened up some distance between Iguodala.

Seeing that he had reached the middle distance position, Iguodala was a few steps away from him again. Turner, who felt hot, didn't hesitate. He suddenly stopped, jumped up and made a jumper.

Today, his emergency stop jumper can even score on Anjie's head, not to mention, on the head of Iguodala who was thrown away from the distance?

Basketball shot, Iguodala was late, and his blocking has become meaningless.

The basketball spinning in the air gradually climbed towards the hoop, but just halfway through the climb, a big hand suddenly rushed out and took the "flying" basketball fiercely!

Ricard’s task for An Jie was to block the middle distance and destroy Thaddeus Young, which was just a “smooth” thing.

It was actually a blockade at close range, so Evan Turner, of course, couldn't let it go.

Iguodala had quick eyes and quick hands, flew to the rescue, and fished the basketball out of bounds.

Iguodala fell into the stands, Lillard pushed forward quickly, and a counterattack was formed instantly.

The Frenchman Batum gritted his teeth to keep up, Lillard falsely passed the real pass, and Batum got the opportunity to go with the knife and hit the three-pointer again. Six points, the point difference is instantly opened!

"Tsk tusk, stop playing like this Evan. You have to look around to see if your surroundings are full of danger." Anjie jokingly smiled at Chong Turner, but Turner didn't dare to come out.

The speed of Anjie's defense is beyond Turner's imagination. He saw An Jie in front of Thaddeus Young a second ago, but with a blink of an eye, he ran over to complete the cover for himself.

Is this guy really a tall center?

The 76ers counterattacked again, and an offensive failure was not enough to make them give up the previous three and a half quarters of the game.

This time, Thaddeus Young asked Hawes to make several ball-free picks and rolls for himself. However, An Jie, who was a pick-and-roll expert, would not be troubled by this kind of tricks. He skillfully bypassed all obstacles, biting Thaddeus Yang from start to finish.

As for the maneuverability that Thaddeus Young is proud of in the interior, this advantage is also lost in front of An Jie.

After passing the ball several times and running several tactics, Thaddeus Young found that he still hadn't got a chance.

There was no way, Thaddeus Yang had to carry the pressing An Jie with his back at the last moment, and then turned over to shoot a jumper.

Can basketball go in? No, it doesn't exist. Just as the basketball flew out of Thaddeus Young's hands, it was slammed to the floor by An Jie.

And Thaddeus Yang, who was unstable after turning over to shoot a jumper, also fell in embarrassment, but it was a pity that he fell on his own, not An Jie's business.

But the fans don't think so. They only saw that An Jie fanned Yang, who was in a brave state today, to the ground with the ball!

"Damn it!" Unwilling Yang Meng hammered the wooden floor. Why did his offense stop working just by changing himself to defend! ?

After being blocked, Anjie personally demonstrated to Yang in the frontcourt what a real turnaround jumper looks like. After the goal, An Jie made an "8" gesture at Yang Bi. That's right, the 76ers are already 8 points behind. With another goal, the difference between the two teams is about to go to double digits.

When the 76ers attacked again, they had lost the confidence they had built up. Now looking at An Jie, who is "waiting for a big drive" at the middle distance, the 76ers players have only fear in their hearts...

"Another block, from Anjie! Keling's McAway, he never expected that his clean breakthrough would end up being nailed!"

"Angel suffered a double team! Eh? When did the ball come out! Iguodala shot... there! 10 points, audience friends, the biggest difference in this game has appeared. !"

"Thedith Young made a shot. This time, he was not blocked. Oh, but the ball still didn't get in. The 76ers must score now, and since they came back from the timeout, they haven't scored a point."

The situation is deteriorating step by step, and Brett Brown is getting more and more anxious. In the past few minutes, the 76ers seem to have been beaten back to their original form. He can only watch the team being slowly slaughtered, but he has no ability to resist.

※※※

In the last twenty seconds of the game, the Trail Blazers have led by 15 points. You know, five minutes ago, the two sides were still a tie.

An Jie, who was already red-eyed, was still there, and the final offense was set. But it can be seen that An Jie has no intention to stop.

Old Miller had just passed halftime, and An Jie made the three-point line. But obviously, Anjie didn't come to pick and roll for Miller, because Miller didn't call a pick and roll at all.

"Ball." An Jie raised his hand at Miller. Although Old Miller didn't know what An Jie was going to do, he still gave the ball out.

Anjie held the ball outside the three-point line, and the next second ~www.NovelMTL.com~ his action detonated the audience.

I saw An Jie holding the ball in one hand and hooking his finger at Thaddeus Young! The meaning is obvious, An Jie is a naked provocation!

"Play with him!"

"Go! Blast him!"

"Ann! Ann! Ann!"

The entire Moda Center seems to have become the arena of ancient Rome, and the people fighting in the center of the venue have become Anjie and Thaddeus Young.

Thaddeus Yang is in a dilemma. At this time, the 76ers can no longer escape the fate of defeat. There is no need for him to fight An Jie.

But if he doesn't confront An Jie, he will lose face in this situation.

An Jie still waited with his iconic smile holding the ball from the three-point line, and all the fans in Moda Center were booing.

Thaddeus Young scored 30 points and 6 rebounds today, and his shooting percentage was as high as 70%. Had it not been for An Jie, he would have made a big hit today with the help of the New Year's Day War.

"You don't need to go there, Thaddeus." Evan Turner discouraged Yang. The game was about to end in ten seconds, and Yang didn't have to go to fight.

"Damn it!" Thaddeus Yang clenched his fists, he hated himself, he hated himself for being afraid! He was afraid that if he responded, he would be ruthlessly crushed by An Jie!

Seeing that Thaddeus Yang did not come forward, An Jie put down the basket and raised his arms. At the same time, the red lights on the billboard came on, the whole game ended, and the entire Moda Center broke out. And An Jie, who raised his arms to accept the worship, once again enjoyed the king's treatment.

He completed the additional task given to him by Ricard-destroying Thaddeus Young.

In the second New Year's Day War, Anjie once again gave the fans a perfect performance.

As for Thaddeus Yang, perhaps he will never forget the night he confronted An Jie in his entire life...
