The Way of the Center

Owen knocked down Lillard and hit a three-pointer. At the beginning of the game, a wonderful shot destined to be selected for the top ten was born. This kind of start matched this hot game.

Owen's movements are too smooth and realistic. Lillard is already very attentive, but the playing style of "Uncle Drew" is so gorgeous that it makes people puzzled.

"After leaving James this season, Carey has been very good. I think today, he will definitely cause Ann a big trouble." Kenny Smith has not seen the Trail Blazers encounter a decent opponent for too long. Even the San Antonio Spurs in the opener were easily broken by the Blazers.

He hopes to see a fierce game, and today, Irving is likely to become the guy who will make the game fierce.

After being tackled and knocked down again, Lillard's heart is now let alone how frustrated. If it were before, Lillard would definitely be vengeful now.

But he has been working hard in the NBA for many years, and he has long gone from being an impulsive rookie to being the master of the Blazers' champion team.

Lillard knew that if he was impatient, he would give the Celtics a chance. He simply suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, and continued to direct his teammates to move unhurriedly.

Angel saw Marcus Morris dangling by his side, while Horford stuck to him all the time. In this way, Lillard's pass will be difficult to score. Even if he receives a pass from Lillard, Anjie will quickly be troubled by double-teaming.

Therefore, Anjie did not continue to stay in the restricted area. Instead, he took the initiative and planned to catch the ball in a high position.

When Anjie reached the high post, the Celtics naturally did not dare to continue double-teaming. No matter how bad Morris offensively, it is impossible to leave him alone at the basket. As for Lillard, George and Iguodala, these three guys are all people who can turn a little gap into a score. Therefore, their counterpoint did not dare to step forward.

An Jie's simple run removed all obstacles for him. Lillard hangs lightly, and An Jie straightens his long arms and catches the basketball steadily!

Owen just finished such a wonderful performance at Moda Center. As the host, Anjie must also use color.

Horford didn't give An Jie any space, he clung to An Jie's back, and continued to use force, trying to push An Jie out. Even now, An Jie is outside the three-second zone. But Horford still feels that Anjie must be farther away from the basket to minimize the threat. Everyone knows that the entire three-point line is Anjie's offensive range. No, even outside the three-point line, you can’t give Anjie too much space,

Horford's series of actions let Anjie probably know Horford's defensive strategy at this time. He just hopes to do his best to push An Jie out, even if this is likely to give An Jie a chance to turn around directly, Horford will not hesitate.

Among the inside players, Horford's footsteps are already considered fast. He believes that even if Anjie turns around, he can quickly keep up with the interference.

Horford just thought about what might happen! An Jie turned around and broke through! This guy is planning to hit the rim when Horford loses his concentration!

Horford, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was not thrown away by An Jie. He followed in time and pressed An Jie's body to keep pace with An Jie.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the defense on his own, An Jie suddenly raised his arm, seemingly intending to dunk forcibly!

"It's not that simple!" Horford jumped high. If the timing is right, Horford should be able to add a block of data for himself. An Jie is not omnipotent either! With such tight defense, dunking is simply impossible.

However, just when Horford's palm was about to touch the basketball. An Jie's raised arm retracted back together with the basketball!

Horford's huge palm passed over Anjie's head. Just now, An Jie didn't plan to dunk at all, all these were just fake moves!

After getting rid of Horford, Angel did not gently put the ball into the basket. He leaped hard with his legs and jerked with one hand. A rock-shattering in-situ take-off and dunks with both hands, An Jie responded to Owen's performance with a wonderful goal.

"I can only say that Ann's fake action is too realistic. Horford is not to blame for this goal. Even if I am on the court, it is very likely to be deceived by Ann. Horford did a good job. At least he succeeded in getting An Jie out of the three. Seek opportunities in the second zone. It’s just a pity that his opponent’s offensive methods are too rich.” O’Neal applauded An Jie on the commentary stage. A simple action has been enough to prove An Jie’s pressure on the offensive end. How huge it is.

After being scored by An Jie, the Celtics were not discouraged. The basketball game is like this, you can't prevent all the opponent's shots, let alone An Jie, the first man in the league. But as long as the Celtics continue to consolidate their offense, it is only a matter of time before they take the lead!

In the following game, Owen and Hayward both began to score crazy. Hayward's flexible running position caused a lot of trouble for Iguodala. Irving has a surprisingly good touch today, and Lillard has no temper.

Lillard has been easily traversed by Irving's dazzling dribbling for several goals, and Irving's hard-trained jumper has paid off at this moment.

Stopping the jumper at the mid-range position can either get rid of the "chaser" behind, or avoid the defense of Angel and Morris. Irving must have been careful to develop and know this, so he would specifically adopt this style of play.

An Jie was gnashing his teeth from behind, but he couldn't do anything. If you rush to steal at this time, I'm afraid it will only outweigh the gain.

In this way, the Trail Blazers ended the first quarter of the competition with a lead of only two points. Owen rushed and jumped, and it seemed that falling behind did not make this brand new leader of the Celtics any sense of frustration.

On the other hand, Lillard, who was in the lead, frowned at the zero guard, and he was completely blown by Irving in the entire first quarter.

Ricard also discovered the seriousness of the matter. Irving's condition is surprisingly good today. It may be difficult to limit it with Lillard alone.

"Ann, in the second game, you and Morris switched positions." Ricard thought for a while, but made a decision that no one had expected.

"I'm defending Marcus Morris?" An Jie was also full of doubts. Did Ricard make this adjustment to make it easier for the commentator to interpret the game? After all, the confrontation between the two Morris really made the commentary very convoluted.

"No, Morris is just a springboard to adjust your position. Your real defensive goal is Kyrie Irving!" Ricard took up the tactical board. The Celtics will always get used to it when they are on the offensive end. Put Horford in the low position and Morris in the mid-range position.

In this way, if Angel defends Marcus Morris, he can help defend the entire mid-range. Today Irving likes to attack the zone, and it is just the middle distance!

In an instant, everyone understood Ricard's intentions. Switching defense is just a cover, Anjie's real goal is to lock Irving!

If Irving knew that he has now received the "vip" treatment of the Trail Blazers, he would be very happy. The Trail Blazers value him, indicating that his presence has threatened this seemingly indestructible team. And this recognition is exactly what Irving needs most now.

The second quarter started quickly, and Brad Stevens gave Irving more power to fire. He believes that as long as Irving can maintain the firepower of the first quarter. Even a powerful trailblazer can't resist.

In the Celtics' first offense in the second quarter, Morris and Horford found something was wrong.

Anjie did not stay by Horford's side, but became Marcus Morris's "bodyguard". No matter how Thomas runs, no matter where he goes, Anjie always follows inseparably.

While biting the counterpoint, Anjie did not forget to continue to observe Owen's running position. Of course, the Celtics players did not know the intention of Anjie and Morris to switch positions. Maybe, this is just an unintentional dislocation?

Irving didn't think much about how Anjie and Morris switched defenses, it had nothing to do with him. This guy beckoned, motioned his teammates to pull away, he wants to play singles with Lillard!

Lillard gritted his teeth, he has been humiliated enough by Owen today. He fixed his eyes on the basketball in Irving's hand, hoping that he could avoid being deceived by Irving's fancy moves.

Irving began to change his ball-handling rhythm. Since Lillard only recognizes the ball now, Irving will use basketball to deceive the No. 0 guard!

I saw Owen step back to make room for the sprint. Lillard didn't post it, he calculated all the possibilities of Irving's dribble in his mind.

As Owen started to approach Lillard, Owen suddenly changed hands and dribbled behind him, trying to break to the left!

Lillard immediately changed his center of gravity. Irving's hand-changing movement behind his back was completed perfectly, but Lillard would not be swept away just like that.

Lillard stretched out his arm. Not only did he stop Irving this time, he also wanted to take away the basketball in Irving's hands.

However, just when Lillard's fingers were about to touch the basketball, Owen's magical palm moved again.

He quickly changed the basketball from the back to the right again, making two quick and high-quality back changes in a row. At this moment, even Lillard, who was highly concentrated, could only watch Owen passing by like the wind.

Irving's extraordinary excitement has once again become the focus of attention of fans all over the world. After leaving Lillard, everything is much simpler.

With an emergency stop jumper, Irving only needs to make the action that he has repeated thousands of times to add two more points to the team!

Owen took off confidently, Lillard could only become a background, and now if he violates Owen's cylinder, it will definitely outweigh the gain.

This defender wearing a green jersey seems to have become one of the symbols of the green shirt army. His graceful stop jumper action will definitely become a popular action on the streets that people rush to learn.

Everything seems so perfect~www.NovelMTL.com~ But at this moment, everyone has forgotten that Anjie and Morris's unreasonable change of defense...

Irving had just launched basketball, and he felt that his eyes were suddenly black. A big hand with five fingers spread out right now in front of Owen.

Irving's excitement suddenly fell to the freezing point. In this world, there is only one person who can make people shudder on the defensive end.

"Pop!" With a crisp sound, the big hand flew out the basketball fan fiercely.

Continuous change of direction, wonderful emergency stop... When the basketball was fanned, all of Irving's previous efforts were in vain.

Although the style of Nike's newly designed jersey has not changed much, it is obvious that they have greatly increased the area of ​​the jersey font. Therefore, the two huge "0"s in front of Owen seem to be particularly dazzling.

Suddenly, the fans of the entire Moda Center stood up from their seats. And the fans who thought the goal would be scored, one by one grew their mouths and was stunned.

This time, the performance of "Uncle Drew" failed to end successfully...
