The Way of the Center

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

The scene of Anjie confronting Howard in the midfield was transmitted to all parts of the world through countless cameras on the scene.

Before the game started, An Jie had already worked out his small calculations. The Rockets still have only eight players able to participate in the rotation, and the only insider on their bench is the Turk Asik.

If it is said that Howard had to rest because of foul trouble. The Rockets will suddenly lose one offensive point, and Asik will also become a breakthrough for the Trail Blazers offensively on the court.

An Jie is not doing nothing to provoke Howard for no reason. Everything is just to prepare for the game.

When Howard and An Jie walked into the middle circle to prepare to jump the ball, Howard's murderous gaze made An Jie very satisfied. Enrages an opponent, or the opponent will ask for hardship because he loses his mind. Either, the other party broke out completely, making An Jie's gain more than worth the loss.

Perhaps Anjie would not provoke people like Kobe and James very much, but for Howard, Anjie promised that the second situation would never happen!

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, the angry Howard showed his amazing athletic ability. Even though he took off early, Howard froze the basketball by relying on his extremely fast bounce speed and bounce height.

"Audience friends! The Western Conference semifinals between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers are officially open!" Yu Jia at the scene was as excited as Yao Ming sitting below. Rockets and Anjie, these two factors are destined to be greatly concerned by Chinese fans. Together, it will definitely create a lot of ratings records.

Now the basketball courts all over China are empty. Almost all the fans are watching the game in front of the TV or computer.

Patrick Beverley controls the ball and intends to organize the Rockets' first offense in the second round of the playoffs. An Jie quickly retired from the penalty area. He did not intend to make Howard comfortable on the court. Every minute and every second, An Jie would make Howard irritable.

"The last time we saw this red jersey in the Western Conference semifinals, it was five years ago. Let us see if the Rockets returning to the playoffs can play impressively. which performed!"

Beverley arced the ball and Chandler Parsons, the "rich and handsome", was actively running. This white small forward is very good at using the gap after the screen to complete the shot. This guy's excellent performance in the first round of the playoffs has already doubled his value.

Howard suddenly ended his entanglement with Anjie, and he mentioned the middle distance himself. There is no doubt that he intends to make an off-the-ball screen for Parsons.

Regarding the Rockets game video, Anjie has watched enough these days. He did not sit and wait for the pick-and-roll between Howard and Parsons to complete, but suddenly stood in front of Howard and tried to block Parsons's running route.

"Are you going to give up Dwight!?" Parsons saw that Anjie hadn't kept behind Howard, he immediately turned his gaze to Beverly.

Beverly had seen this gap a long time ago, and Angel was so far away from Howard, he would definitely pay the price for it!

Beverly threw the ball suddenly, and Howard, who was not entangled by An Jie, started an inward cut and took off, intending to start with an aerial relay to give An Jie a smash.

"This is the end of despising me!" Howard stretched his body in the air, and An Jie dared to expose the basket completely behind him for Parsons. This is simply how he despised Howard! Howard wants to let An Jie see clearly now, next time he dare to be so defensive!

However, when Howard looked back at the ball, he found that a pair of big hands had been opened behind him, firmly holding the basketball that was passed to him.

"Beverly's pass was very timely, but Ann seemed to have expected everything. His just right take-off and steal made the Rockets' first offense a mess. The aerial coordination between Beverly and Dwight was perfectly disrupted by Angel. !"

The commotion in the commentary area has not calmed down. The basket pulled by Howardella is still trembling, but Lillard has used his scalpel-like breakthrough to complete the defensive counterattack.

An Jie is not stupid, he said that he dared to block Parsons so that Howard was completely exposed in front of the basket, precisely because he had the confidence to do so.

Howard has a single offensive method, and Beverly is not the kind of guard who can organize and pass the ball. Facing such a situation, these two guys will choose to solve the problem by air relay! And for this, An Jie is already ready to deal with it!

When Beverly threw the basketball, Anjie reacted. Relying on keen judgment and the advantage of height and wingspan, it was easy for An Jie to break the ball.

The Rockets’ first offense was successfully resolved by An Jie alone!

After being hit with a fast break, the Rockets also changed their offensive strategy. They started to let Harden have the ball early, and this guy's personal impact may be able to get the Rockets out of the predicament.

Harden's most powerful move this season is not his three-pointer, but the skill of breaking through and drawing fouls.

Under normal circumstances, Harden is not looking for the basket the first time after a breakthrough, but looking for someone, looking for a player who is likely to foul the opponent.

Just relying on free throws, Harden has no idea how many beautiful high points he has scored this season. In the first round of the playoffs, Jordan and Griffin each had six offenses, and all of this is inseparable from Harden.

Harden pretended to organize an offense from the outside, but suddenly he changed his direction quickly. Harden pressed against Matthews' body to break through, which not only did not slow Harden's breakthrough speed, but also made Matthews afraid to act rashly.

After successfully wiping into the penalty area, Harden found that the Trail Blazers seemed to be wrong on defense. On weekdays, if you break through by yourself, other teams will quickly shrink the lineup, for fear that Harden will get too much room. It is precisely because of this that Harden can find a lot of foul opportunities in the crowd.

But at this moment, Harden had only An Jie in front of him, and even Matthews, who had been passed by him, did not continue to chase him. What does this mean, they are so confident in Anjie's single defense ability? They are not afraid to pass the ball to Howard after they cheated An Jie?

I didn't think too much, since the Trail Blazers looked down on themselves so low, Harden might as well accept this gift. As one of the best shooting guards in the league today, the Trail Blazers didn't even bother to shrink their defensive formation after breaking through, and they looked down on people too much.

Harden leaned towards An Jie's body, but An Jie did not move the soles of his feet and raised his hands high. Harden rammed An Jie abruptly, but didn't catch An Jie's flaw.

"Damn it!" Harden gritted his teeth and tried to stabilize the ball after making physical contact with An Jie, which was more difficult than imagined. Just now, Anjie always stood still on the spot without any foul action. The referee didn't call Harden dribbled the ball into someone, and Harden was already grateful.

There is no way, although he has already reached a deeper position and missed the best layup time. But now, Harden's only option is a layup.

Howard? Howard is being separated from Harden by An Jie with his sturdy body, and Harden has no room to pass the ball at all.

Harden, who was forced into a desperate situation, barely made a layup, but was easily blocked by An Jie on the side. Fouls are not feasible here in Anjie!

After the basketball was blocked, An Jie pressed his hands. He was signaling to see Lillard of basketball pressing the rhythm, this time he would not play a quick counterattack.

The Rockets are a team that made the playoffs for the first time after Yao Ming retired. Although they have made great progress, their tactical training is still weaker. Even compared with the Warriors who were eliminated in the first round, the Rockets' tactical training is not dominant.

Changing the rhythm a lot in such a team might make them mess up because they don't adapt.

An Jie just wants to use this to make the Rockets lose their defense completely.

After the pace slowed down, the Blazers' offense became Anjie's favorite positional offense.

Howard and Anjie made very big moves when fighting inside, almost the same as Anjie and Bogut in the last game of the regular season.

However, the basketball court still has to rely on basketball to speak, Howard's random push can not effectively interfere with Anjie's position.

In this way, after some "fighting", An Jie, who felt that he was about to stabilize his position, raised his left hand high, he was about to attack with the ball!

"Let’s, go, An! Let’s, go, An! Let’s, go, An!......" The moment An Jie received the ball, the cheers of Moda Center immediately increased several times.

Howard was sweating profusely, and every time he confronted An Jie, he felt great pressure!

After holding the ball, Anjie observed for a while, and felt Howard's position and focus with his back. Suddenly, An Jie slammed his back! While exerting force, Anjie's flexible footsteps also moved. It seems that this guy is planning to use a back-turned jumper to solve the attack!

Howard didn't let An Jie succeed, he immediately stuck in the direction of the bottom line to prevent An Jie from turning, and at the same time, he was ready to interfere with An Jie's shooting.

Just when An Jie was about to turn around, An Jie suddenly changed the direction of his turn.

He took Howard as the axis, and the whole person turned to the bottom of the basket, but Howard, whose center of gravity was deceived to shake, was separated from the outside of the basket instead.

An Jie opened his arms, ready to pick the basket easily. Howard is still the same as before, unable to do anything about the changeable pace.

Just when An Jie was about to shoot the basketball, Howard, who was forced into a desperate situation, secretly piled An Jie from behind.

Anjie tried to maintain his balance and put the ball into the basket. After that, he was pushed hard by Howard and fell to the ground.

Howard's pushing action is indeed secretive, but Anjie's exaggerated performance makes this secretive little action well known!

"He is diving!"

"Dwight pushed me behind!"

Howard and Anjie each hold their own words~www.NovelMTL.com~ The referee is not easy to decide. Therefore, shortly after the start of the game, the fans saw the referees on duty around the technical stage studying the video.

Judging from the slow-motion playback, the action that Howard pushed after being stepped off by An Jie was simply too obvious. But whether Anjie flopped, this thing can't be seen through the playback.

The referee finally decided that Howard defensively fouled! An Jie made a shot and had to be penalized!

"Calm down Dwight, you can't foul again this quarter! Think carefully about what the opponent will do to defend, instead of using brute force to solve the problem!" McHale yelled nervously from the sidelines, the game has not started yet. In a few minutes, Howard had a foul on his back. It's strange that McHale wasn't nervous.

An Jie's steals, blocks and offensive three-pointers on the court alone made the Rockets passive from the beginning. In the first few minutes of the game, it was simply An Jie's personal performance.

And the rest of the defending champions have not yet begun to play...I hope the Houston Rockets can survive until the end of the game. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
