The Way of the Center

Chapter 685: : Classic showdown

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

Danny Green, the player who studied in North Carolina and studied under Roy Williams, an indelible legendary coach in college basketball history, is now the biggest trouble for the Trail Blazers on the court.

In a college team like North Carolina, even if it only stays for a year, it will benefit a lot. As for Danny Green, he played for four full years in college.

In four years, in addition to his skills, the smart Green also fully understood what the team meant. Coach Roy Williams spent four years training Green to perfection. Of course, this guy is not that kind of superstar player. His perfection does not lie in scoring two or thirty points in a game and then leading the team to victory.

His perfection is that he can adapt to any system. To be precise, although Green is not the kind of star player, all teams need someone like him. Now, as long as Popovich gives an order, Danny Green will come forward!

He is more like a "sleeping", what do you need him to do on weekdays, he will do it. Never complain, and never ask for more. But when you need him to wake up and attack each other at some point, Green can also do a good job.

Such a role is simply tailored for the San Antonio Spurs.

"The Spurs' cooperation is really wonderful. Their conduction ball has never stopped! The Blazers' defense is indeed very strong. If this is changed to another team, it may have been torn out of the gap long ago! Danny. Green, the basketball finally hit Green! He shot directly from beyond the three-point line! Did it!? Go in! Three-pointer! My goodness, Danny Green, the 46th pick in the second round of 2009 The guy who was selected, completely dominated the second quarter of the game!"

When that three-pointer was made by Green again, his number of goals in the second quarter also became 3. However, that was only Green's fourth shot.

3 of 4 shots, all from outside the three-point line. When the Spurs' inside offense was tightly curbed, Danny Green froze by shooting to help the Spurs open up the situation.

"Damn it!" An Jie looked at the large live screen above his head. The Blazers who had been leading by two points have now become 7 points behind. Green fired from outside the three-point line, which is something Anjie can't do. The only thing he can do is to protect his rebounds as much as possible. However, Green's perverted shooting percentage did not give An Jie a chance to grab rebounds.

For the Blazers offense, Leonard was still sent by Popovich to defend Lillard, and Ricard still chose to use Iguodala to organize the offense.

Although Iguodala did a good job, but Lillard's main scoring point was stifled, which also brought a lot of losses to the Trail Blazers.

This year, Lillard's offensive power is definitely an important force that the Trail Blazers can't ignore. As Iguodala grows older, his ability to score autonomously is not as good as before. If Leonard stayed by Iguodala, it would be a waste of resources.

Lillard tried his best to get rid of the position, but Leonard's defensive pace was not even slower than Lillard. His entanglement made Lillard no chance at all!

There was no way, Iguodala had to deal with this attack by himself. He looked inside first, and Anjie was defended by Duncan. Duncan, an old and hot guy, he has a lot of experience in defense. Iguodala didn't dare to hang the ball to Anjie rashly. First of all, he is not a pure point guard. He may not pass the ball well. Secondly, when the team is behind now, we must not take risks!

So Iguodala flicked his wrist and the basketball flew over Danny Green's head and flew inside. But this time, it was not An Jie who caught the ball, but Aldridge!

I don't know if it was because of his mother's illness. Since Aldridge learned of this incident, he has played explosively. And this performance has also continued into the playoffs.

Now, even if Anjie is watched to death by Duncan, Aldridge can carry the banner of offense. Boris Dior? This guy does have a set of offensive end, but defensively, he has not contained Aldridge's ability.

After receiving the ball, Aldridge didn't make any extra moves. He just turned over and made a jumper, and the basketball went into the net hollow.

As a result, Duncan and Popovich are a little embarrassed. Aldridge is obviously now the sharpest spear of the Trail Blazers. Should he continue to defend An Jie or allow Duncan to temporarily return to the fourth position to defend? This became a decision that made Popovich a headache.

But in the next round, Popovich made a choice. Because of Anjie, Duncan easily scored a goal.

An Jie found that in the face of an old and cunning guy like Duncan, he couldn't continue to use the stance style. Isn't Duncan older now? Okay, just start fighting with him!

So this time, Anjie was not giving Iguodala a problem. Since Lillard was restricted by Leonard, Anjie personally organized the attack!

The No. 00 center in a white jersey ran directly to the high post and rushed to Iguodala for the ball.

The reason why Anjie likes to stay in the low post now is because with Anjie's current ability, he can attack immediately after receiving the ball in the low post, and few people can stop him. In short, how to save effort. After all, for a young leader, Anjie played a long time in each game. And this simple method will undoubtedly save An Jie a lot of energy.

But now, Duncan is no ordinary opponent. Therefore, An Jie must also use some unusual methods to deal with the "Stone Buddha."

Seeing Anjie holding the ball in a high post, all Spurs players dare not rush forward. An Jie's height allows him to see the gap in any corner of the court. The most frightening thing is that as long as there is a gap, Anjie will definitely be able to pass the ball!

Therefore, in order to prevent loopholes in the defense, the only thing the rest of the Spurs can do is to stick to their matchup as much as possible and prevent An Jie from finding an assist opportunity.

Duncan is like a big enemy, he feels like David Robinson he was now. And Anjie is the omnipotent Olajuwon within the three-point line!

Seeing that his teammates had no chance, An Jie took the ball held high above his head to his chest, then arched his waist and lowered his center of gravity. This is a signal that outside players are ready to break through!

Tony Parker had planned to step forward to grab An Jie by surprise, but Matthews' active running moved Parker to a position far away from An Jie. Parker can't put Matthews, after all, this guy is the most stable point for the Trail Blazers outside the three-point line. If Matthews is allowed to get a vacancy, it may not be worth the loss.

Now, no one can help Anjie, and no one can help Duncan. Popovich couldn't help but concentrate. This scene is so similar to the scene of "Big Dream" vs. "Admiral" in the 90s!

Anjie started to dribble the ball alternately with left and right hands, and Duncan tried his best to open his arms without fear.

Just when the cheers of the fans were about to lift the ceiling of the Moda Center, Anjie suddenly took one step to start! This start-up speed and skillful dribbling ability are not comparable to other centers in the league!

Anjie’s father, Divac and Ricard played a decisive role in Anjie’s basic training at this moment! An Jie rushed to Duncan, but suddenly changed his direction, planning to overcome the only obstacle between himself and the basket!

"Small bugs!" Duncan is also a veteran who has been in the NBA for nearly 20 years. An Jie's sudden change of direction has been seen countless times by many people.

"Stone Buddha" took a step sideways instinctively, betting An Jie's breakthrough route to death!

Just as the two were about to collide with each other, An Jie's steps could still be adjusted. An Jie quickly turned around and faced Duncan with his back. Duncan knew at a glance that An Jie wanted to turn around leaning on himself.

Once again, Duncan judged Anjie's intentions. It's a pity that An Jie's turn around is so beautiful that even Duncan couldn't stop it in time.

Seeing that Anjie's body was about to be wiped from his side, Duncan couldn't help but change his focus, intending to try to chase down to the basket.

"Heh..." At this moment, Duncan seemed to hear An Jie's sneer. In the next second, Duncan's eyes suddenly became empty, and there was no one. He only felt a gust of wind passing behind him. When he turned around, An Jie had already jumped high, ready to wreak havoc on the rim again?

"What?..." Duncan immediately recalled everything in his mind. When An Jie turned around and prepared to pass himself, it seemed that he had only turned halfway, and An Jie turned back to the original direction, holding the ball. Broke through.

But this is impossible? An Jie is a center. How can a center be so flexible? What happened after the half-turn fake? Looking at it, only Olajuwon in the entire NBA can do all this! Wait, Olajuwon?

Yes, even Olajuwon himself admitted that Anjie's foundation has surpassed himself. Thinking of this, Duncan didn't seem so surprised. This is the strength of the two consecutive MVP winners.

"Hey!" An Jie energetically filled the box. Whether Duncan believed it or not, An Jie's goal had become a reality.

"Retire! Retire!" After the goal, An Jie shouted with a grim expression. No one dared to neglect the players of the Trail Blazers, one by one, they immediately returned to the defense and took their defensive positions.

With the ball just now, An Jie's half-turn has tricked Duncan into changing his focus. At this time, if he breaks in the opposite direction, the elderly Duncan must not be able to react. Everyone knows this truth. What people marvel at is how can An Jie have such a high level of good fortune in terms of footwork. He is simply a small forward with a height of 2.19 meters!

"An is really a kaleidoscope on the offensive end. As long as you step into the three-point line, there is nothing that An can't do! He just broke through Duncan's series of moves in one go. You can't see that this guy is a traditional center! It's no wonder Duncan, can only say that Ann’s offensive skills are so gorgeous? What? You said Ann can’t shoot three-pointers? With Ann’s ability, he can definitely make three-pointers, but that’s a waste of talent! Let this A monster in the penalty area pulls out to shoot three points, unless coach Ricard’s mind is caught in the door!" Mike Brin’s chat box was completely knocked out by this wonderful matchup goal, "The Butcher" and "Stone Buddha" are one-to-one. The matchup will definitely be regarded as a classic like Olajuwon's vs. Robinson in 1995.

This time, Popovich did not consider whether to let Duncan defend Anjie or Aldridge. Do you dare to let Anjie be in this state?

After the goal was scored, the Trail Blazers gained confidence. Duncan is still locked up, Parker still dominates the Spurs' offense, and Danny Green is responsible for continuing to fire the gun.

I have to admit that Parker and Green's firepower today is very powerful. According to their status today, the score should have been opened long ago.

However, it is precisely because the Trail Blazers have Anjie and Aldridge that the score has not been expanded.

Anjie and Aldridge made left-to-right shots against the Spurs' hinterland, fully embodying the title of "the most offensive inside team in the league". Especially An Jie, this guy's wonderful singles in high positions has made fans all over the world have a new understanding of him.

Popovich roared loudly from the sidelines, but there was no way ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The momentum of the two fellow Blazers was too strong!

It doesn't matter if Leonard locks Lillard, Anjie and Aldridge will fight back with his share!

In the end, at the end of the half-time, the Spurs relied on more three-pointers to score, temporarily leading 55 to 54 by one point.

Moreover, if it were not for the last offense in the second quarter, Ginobili's snake-like breakthrough reappeared, and now the Spurs are behind!

The playoffs are simply a hotbed for making classic pictures. Kobe and the Big Three of the Green Army, James and Durant, Jordan and Bird...These pictures have become part of the NBA's wealth. I believe that every single ball that Anjie has just played against Duncan in the high post will be taken out by the fans in the future.

The Spurs did have an impressive performance, and Danny Green’s high three-pointer percentage really admired An Jie.

But I'm sorry, Anjie will lead his team and do better than the Spurs! When Anjie is completely on the offensive end, God knows how much hope this beast will leave the Spurs...Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
