The Way of the Center

"Anjie makes history again! The third person was blocked ten times in a single playoff game! 40+ points in the playoffs constitute the fourth man in a triple-double! 》

Holding the Portland Post in his hand, Wu Hua read it with gusto. Although he is also a writer, although his writing style is likely to be better than that of the Portland Post colleague. But these factors did not make Wu Hua less interested in reading this report.

After all, Wu Hua focuses on An Jie, not the articles themselves.

A high-profile fourth game in the Western Conference Finals, a battle of life and death for the Trail Blazers. An Jie, with a historical performance, won the final victory.

Wu Hua, with a glance and ten lines, read the report in a few clicks. He folded the newspaper neatly and took out another newspaper from his backpack.

"Creating History Again! Anjie returned to the City of Torn with victory! 》

Well, it's a different media again, and it's a different title. But the theme of these reports is one content, which is to praise Anjie.

Wu Hua retracted his gaze and looked around him. At this moment, the exit of Portland International Airport has been blocked by fans and reporters. The travel of some ordinary passengers has even been greatly hindered.

Even though airport security has repeatedly dissuaded, even Portland police officers yelled with loudspeakers. But the group of people waiting outside did not have any intention to leave.

Wu Hua put away the newspaper and checked his camera. Fortunately, I came early to get a seat in the airport hall. Looking at the fans and reporters who have stood together for several hours, Wu Hua felt hard for them.

"Flight az6979 from Auckland to Portland is about to land. Flight az6979 from Auckland to Portland is about to land."

During the broadcast, a sweet female voice suddenly came out. The people waiting at the scene were stunned for a second, then the scene immediately exploded!

az6979, this string of codes is exactly the flight number of the plane Anjie and his teammates took!

Wu Hua stood up with a smile and swarmed into the crowd.

Welcome home, the hero of the Torn City!

※※※

An Jie wears sunglasses, facing the flashes of reporters and the screams of fans, the expression on his face is still cold, without any smile.

This is not because An Jie is playing a big name. In fact, fans who know An Jie know that An Jie is a fairly easy-going guy. Under normal circumstances, he will not refuse fans' requests for photos or even autographs, unless, now it is not under normal circumstances.

Although in the fourth game in Oakland, Anjie cut down very beautiful personal data and successfully broke the dream of the Warriors. But the huge threat this bad opponent brought to the team made Anjie no longer able to relax.

The only thing Anjie wants to do now is to go home and rest quickly, and then continue to practice training the next day. The day after tomorrow, another city in the Moda Center to win the match point!

Therefore, even though the reporters and fans are very enthusiastic, An Jie just nodded to the crowd ceremonially and left quickly.

The series is not over yet. The Trail Blazers have just emerged from a dangerous situation. This does not mean that they have an advantage. After all, the Warriors are the only team that can beat the Trail Blazers consecutively among the 30 NBA teams this season!

Next, the Trail Blazers have two more games at home. How to solve the Warriors in two games has become a problem that both Anjie and Ricard must think about.

"Fucking... even more tired than playing the finals last year." On the team bus, Ricard, who was sitting next to An Jie, looked out the window, but suddenly said a word at a traffic light intersection.

"Last year's finals?" Anjie began to search his memory in his mind. Last year, he still faced the Miami Heat in the finals. But the heat at that time can no longer be compared with the past.

Wade suffered a serious knee injury and was unable to play. Bosh was unwell, and he also performed poorly. Chalmers and James had a complete fallout, and the Heat's second team was too old to have too much combat effectiveness. With just one LeBron James, the Heat can't compete with the heyday Trail Blazers...

Such a Heat team was easily wiped out by the Blazers. I have to admit that last year's finals left An Jie not a deep impression, because the team and himself hardly encountered any trouble and resistance, and won the supreme O'Brien Cup for the second time.

That said, this team hasn't played a tough game in the playoffs for a long time.

"The Warriors are not only strong, they have also subverted the way of playing basketball. Don't worry, we will win. The small lineup doesn't work in front of us."

"I hope it is safe, I hope it... There are two more games to play, two home games. Damn, we must decide the winner in Portland!" Ricard hammered himself hard. It seems that this old hooligan has made up his mind this year.

The Portland Trail Blazers will not fall anywhere, even if their position is full of thorns.

"Ann, after we stormed the inside in the last game, it seemed to work well." After venting his emotions, Ricard began to think.

Divac, who was sitting in the back row of Ricard, shook his head. Sooner or later Ricard would become a workaholic like Jeff Van Gundy.

"The Warriors' defense puts a lot of emphasis on integrity, but on the inside, they can't cooperate with each other. Because once they double-team, I will let others get a chance. If they don't double-team..." An Jie transferred He smiled at his coach and continued. "I bet that if they don't double-team me the next night, I can score 50 points!"

"Hmm..." Ricard touched his chin and thought carefully. In fact, think about it from another angle. Steve Kerr's small lineup was largely forced out because of the lack of a good inside line. You give Cole a O'Neal. Will he play a small lineup that subverts the rules of basketball?

Since the Warriors' inside line is the biggest gap, Ricard does not have to make a roundabout with Cole.

"Guys!" Seeing that the car was about to reach the Moda Center, Ricard stood up and yelled at the players behind him.

"What's the matter, Boss?" The players became nervous one by one, Ricard, maybe he wanted to get everyone out of the car and go for training. They just came to the Moda Center to gather, and then go back to each house?

"The next night's game, I plan to knock the Warriors inside! You guys have a good rest today, because of tomorrow's training and the day after tomorrow's game." Ricard showed his iconic evil smile. "Tomorrow's training and the day after tomorrow's game, you will suffer!"

As soon as Steve Cole boarded the plane, it started to rain slightly in Oakland. Such weather is really not suitable for flying.

I don't know why, but the sun was shining just now, but now it changes. The **** weather with dark clouds is really depressing.

Originally, the Warriors should now take a 3-1 score and head forward towards the City of Rip. But now, Cole is worried about whether the Warriors can survive the **** two away games in Portland.

An Jie's practice of slamming under the basket in the last game allowed the Trail Blazers to achieve significant results. Today's league is extremely lack of good insiders, and good centers are almost withered. This is also the reason why Cole dared to use a small lineup to cross the world. Even if other teams have pure insiders, they cannot pose a threat to the rim guarded by the Warriors~www.NovelMTL.com~ But when the Warriors really meet one When they are super insiders like Anjie, their defense is actually very difficult.

Moreover, whenever the Warriors encounter a super insider, the number of unreasonable shots on the offensive end will increase significantly. Of course, you can also think that the Warriors can still maintain their shooting percentage even when they make unreasonable shots. This is a manifestation of their ability.

But the fact is that if you encounter a super inside warrior, you will be passive! Needless to say, Cousins, Anthony Davis and Angel, they just met insiders like Tristan Thompson and the old "Birdman" Anderson. The Warriors have no good way to restrict them!

Although the Warriors are very strong, their weakness does exist, and once it comes to the playoffs, this problem is infinitely magnified. In the last game, Anjie scored 45 points and 10 blocks. Aldridge scored 20 points and 8 rebounds, which is the best proof of this.

Just as Cole was thinking about it, the plane tremblingly left the ground. This time, it made the powerful shooter beside Jordan feel flustered.

In the two games in the City of Tear, I hope the Warriors will not be torn apart by An Jie.
