The Way of the Center

Chapter 652: : The gain is not worth the loss

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

The ferocious expression on Howard's face gradually faded, replaced by calmness and worry.

At this time, the three referees on duty in this game were all nervously gathered in front of the technical stage. Although Miller and Anjie are also disadvantageous to Howard, Howard still feels that the punishment he has suffered may be more serious.

An Jie was still cursing under the support of his teammates, and Howard's palm made An Jie's chest feel a little boring now. Old Miller has calmed down. He is standing next to the three referees on duty, hoping to put pressure on them at any time.

Only Howard stood far away, like a kid who had made a mistake, waiting for the trial.

"Soft egg! Soft egg! Soft egg! Soft egg!" There was a neat and unified shout in the Moda Center Arena, and Howard became the full-name public enemy.

Seeing this, Old Miller also waved his arms. At this moment, he is like a musician, directing the "Symphony" performed at Moda Center.

"I hate Portland!" Howard clenched his fists, but there was no way. At Moda Center, no one would care about Howard's thoughts.

Seeing the fans help him so, Anjie's anger has dissipated a lot. He hopes that the referee can make a correct ruling, because it is obvious that the palm of Howard just hit him firmly. And that action was the "criminal evidence" that Howard had reason to be expelled!

The noise of the audience continued for several minutes, and the three referees watched the scene of the conflict that broke out between the two sides over and over again.

In the end, the three masters finally reached an unanimous decision. They walked to the Rockets bench and informed McHale of their penalty.

McHale immediately yelled at the referee, while Howard put his head in his hands, watching McHale's reaction, he could also guess what the final result would be.

He was directly expelled from the field for a second-degree malicious foul. This is the price Howard pays for giving Anjie a palm.

Andre Miller also applauded at the moment the judgment appeared, but the next second, the referee gave the old Miller a first-degree malicious foul. Of course, An Jie, who became the fuse of this conflict and pushed Howard a hand, also received a first-degree malicious foul.

Each of the big 50 boards, the three people involved in the conflict, none of the referees let go.

But compared to Howard's direct expulsion, the Blazers' punishment seems to be a little painless.

With a towel on his head, Howard walked into the player's aisle griefly under the siege of the photographers.

The fans on both sides of the player's entrance are without exception using the patience of the challenger Howard. Fortunately, even if Howard hates him, he is not the second Artest.

When all conflicts finally subsided, after the game restarted. James Harden looked around and had to admire Anjie.

At most, I would cheat a few more free throws for fouls, and Anjie, this guy directly caused Howard to end like this!

After Howard was off the court, McHale, who was already scarce in the inside line, hurt his head.

There was no way, McHale had to take the Turkish center Asik up.

When Howard was on the court, Anjie, who was in desperate need of victory, had already messed up the Rockets' interior. Now, the Rockets’ biggest shelter is gone, and God knows what Anjie can be like.

The game restarted, the two sides first made free throws, and then the Trail Blazers continued to attack.

This time, An Jie finally felt more comfortable all over his body. Without Howard's fierce shoving and cruel little movements, An Jie's leadership position is simply relaxed and happy.

The Turks worked very hard, but the huge power gap between him and An Jie made him unable to shake An Jie who was rooted in the ground.

Anjie is like a tall tower, standing motionless near the Rockets' penalty area.

Old Miller didn't hesitate and dropped the ball directly into the penalty area. Terrence Jones stepped forward to double-team as always, but before his double-team was in place, An Jie had driven Asik and completed a hook easily.

McHale shook his head helplessly. Asik and An Jie are not players of the same level at all. As long as there is no Howard, no matter what tactics McHale uses, they can't effectively restrict Anjie.

What's more, McHale is not a master tactician at all.

"Offensive! Go inside! It's all coming to me and attacking the inside!" When McHale was helpless, Divac, who had been quiet for the whole game, finally yelled from the sidelines.

Now the Rockets' inside line is simply open, and Divac, who is able to stay in the Rockets, can't control Asik. All he knows is that the defense of this Turkish man is completely innocent at all!

With the help of a dead ball, Divac immediately replaced Lillard on the field. This guy's breakthrough combined with Anjie's internal bombing is enough for the Rockets to experience the fanaticism of Moda Center.

The Rockets' defense is facing a major test, and the Rockets' top card, James Harden, is a defensive colander.

There is no problem with this guy's body or height, the only problem is his casual attitude.

Several times, Matthews could easily pass Harden with a random shake.

Harden's "eyes defense" has also become famous this season, but at such a critical moment, Harden still does his own thing, and has no intention of serious defense at all.

When the outside line is frequently broken, the inside line must wipe the bottom of the outside line's negligence.

But Asik and Jones are not as trustworthy as Angel and Robin.

The only way the Rockets' inside line prevents the Trail Blazers from scoring is through fouls. But by the way, every player on the outside of the Trail Blazers can shoot. In their view, free throws are no different from direct throws.

Because of that **** court conflict, the Rockets collapsed completely in the second half of the third quarter.

James Harden is still scoring, but it's a pity that he can't keep up with how often the Rockets drop points.

McHale changed several infield attempts, but those guys who were not qualified to play in the NBA in Divac's eyes did not play a big role. They can only increase the head of An Jie's hands.

In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, after An Jie gave Lillard a pick-and-roll, Lillard suddenly accelerated and instantly threw off Jeremy Lin, who was not good at defensively.

An Jie could tell that Jeremy Lin was also a very desperate guy. But sometimes, the gap in hard power between the two sides is so cruel.

After Lillard broke through, Terrence Jones, who had been driven mad, had to cross between the basket and Lillard.

Generally speaking, tall inside defenders will put pressure on the offensive. But now, the situation is completely opposite.

Jones was so nervous, he even felt a little trembling in his legs. Later, what method will Lillard choose to attack the frame, and what should he do?

The anxiety of this second-year rookie can happen to many people, but there is no guy like An Jie around him to guide him.

Lillard, who is also a second-year student, is very relaxed. He turned his head and hands to Robin Lopez's side.

"To pass!" Jones reacted instantly, and his center of gravity began to shift to where Robin Lopez was.

Lillard stared at Robin, but his right hand holding the ball suddenly went to his back!

A pass was passed from behind without looking at the person, and it was steadily delivered to An Jie, who was in Shun's hand.

At this point, Jones has been completely shaken by Lillard, and Anjie will face an empty basket!

An Jie held the ball in both hands and took a step forward. Asik was desperate, he was still considering whether to foul.

In this moment of hesitation, An Jie had already risen into the air.

People found that An Jie's body seemed a little crooked in the air, and the angle of crookedness continued to increase as he got closer to the basket.

When An Jie faced the basket with his back in the air, he violently slammed the basketball into the box with his hands!

"A wonderful 180° turn back button! Hey, this kind of ball is rare in Ann's body!" Bill Walton was very excited by the scene before him. If he were not worried about his blood pressure, he would really Imagine standing up like a fan and cheering for Anjie.

After the goal, Anjie raised his left hand, heralding the victory of the Trail Blazers.

Asik reluctantly picked up the basketball from the ground. How many points has Anjie already scored? The Turks don't want to know. Now everyone on the Rockets just wants to end this **** game as soon as possible and leave the Moda Center!

After An Jie scored this wonderful dunk, the Blazers' lead officially came to 20 points. Although McHale didn't want to admit it, it is almost impossible for the Rockets to make a comeback in the last few minutes.

※※※

Divac felt his heart beating a little fast. He didn't know what he was excited about, but he was sweating profusely now, as if he was walking off the court.

At this time, An Jie and a group of starters have sat firmly on the bench. Because this game has entered garbage time a minute ago.

A victory ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ an ordinary victory. But Divac felt that this victory was very different.

Looking up, Divac couldn't help but set his sights on Anjie's data.

46 points, 20 rebounds, 4 blocks and 6 assists. He did it. When Ricard and Aldridge were away, Anjie fulfilled his promise-to take up the heavy task!

Divac couldn't help but glanced at An Jie. This guy was calm, as if everything was supposed to be.

At this moment, the buzzer of the on-site timer suddenly sounded.

The game was over, 96 to 115. I wanted to be the first rocket to eat a crab, but was injured by the crab's tongs.

Suddenly, fierce cheers erupted in the Moda Center. With his back to the audience, Divac couldn't help raising his arms, enjoying the moment.
