The Way of the Center

The San Antonio Spurs lead the Warriors 2-1, and the Portland Trail Blazers lead the Thunder 2-1. The fans have not seen such a score for a long time.

In the past two years, the strength gap between the team and the team has grown. Teams that have the strength to win the championship often don't encounter much obstacles in the first few rounds of the playoffs. Sweeping was the most common situation in those two years.

But now, NBA president Adam Xiao Hua will definitely be very happy. Because the strong teams in the West are no longer one or two, but a bunch! With more strong teams, the series will naturally play longer.

The longer the series, the more playoff games. And the more playoff games, the higher the league revenue!

In the Eastern Conference, fans can only look forward to the battle between the Cavaliers and Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. On the western side, the game has only reached the semi-final stage, and it has become extremely fierce.

"Let’s take a look at yesterday’s NBA report. In yesterday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Ann scored 49 points, 16 rebounds and 7 blocks, helping the team defeat the Thunder. Achieved a 2-1 lead on the total score. After losing to the Thunder in the previous game, we were amazed that the Trail Blazers could play such an excellent performance. Now the Thunder and the Trail Blazers have played hard to distinguish, if the Thunder team If you want to regain control of the situation, you must equalize the total score. Tomorrow night, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, it will be very important to the Thunder..."

Before the host could finish speaking, An Jie suddenly turned off the TV. Westbrook and Anthony are far more miraculous than what the media reported.

Just when An Jie was thinking about it alone in the room, his cell phone suddenly called. An Jie saw that it was his wife.

"Hey baby, I said I'll call you right away." Anjie connected the video, and Catherine "appeared" in front of him immediately.

"Why are you alone? How about Morris?" Catherine looked around, only Anjie was alone. But he knows that players usually stay in a room with two players playing away games.

"That guy went to George's room to play poker with them. After a beautiful win in Oklahoma, everyone is still relaxed now." An Jie is not a person who likes to play cards, so he is alone. Stay in the room to think about things.

"Hey, take a look. These are the new shoes I bought for Xiaoke, how are they, cute?" As she said, Catherine dangled in front of the camera with a pair of small basketball shoes.

"Oh, my goodness. My son must look good on it, but you still have eyesight." I don't know why. Now, as long as Anjie and Catherine talk about their parents, they can’t help laughing, and there is always a sense of happiness. Raw.

Family, the word has always been around Anjie. But since Anjie decided to play in ncaa until now, from the age of 18 to 29 years old. How much time can Anjie spend with his family every year?

He now has not only a big family, but also a complete family that belongs to him. An Jie is no longer like before, throwing himself in the training ground for crazy training whenever he has time. Instead, they will spend more time on their own family members.

But even so, Anjie’s time with his family is still too short.

On a peaceful birthday, An Jie had only been by his side once. On Catherine's birthday, Anjie can't remember how many years he has not spent together. Except for more than a month in the summer, Anjie hardly has a stable time at home. After all, even in the offseason, Anjie still has a lot to do.

This is not it, when summer is approaching and the clothes are about to change season. An Jie can only admire the shoes his wife chooses for his son in the Oklahoma hotel, and cannot participate in it personally.

"Ann? What's the matter with you!?" Catherine's shout came to Angel through the phone. An Jie, who was in a daze, recovered and smiled at Catherine.

"I miss you."

"what?"

"I miss you and my son, Catherine. I just want to end all this soon and get back to you well." Anjie looked at the wife in the video, unknowingly, she has also become a mature What about the woman.

An Jie didn't want to wait until they could enjoy life, but they were already old.

"Ann, shouldn't you tell me about your game now?" Catherine was a little surprised, but she was very happy in her heart.

"I just want to stay home with you, and then we will go to open a dive shop by the beach in Spain. Then...then I will never be separated from you again." Anjie began to look forward to his future life. , Began to look forward to those lives that may not have basketball in the future.

"Hey, I can wait for you, Ann. Retire after winning three championships, that's what you said. I'm waiting for you no matter if you are 32 or 42 years old then."

"Don’t worry, Catherine, I won’t let you wait long. This year, I’m going to take the first one!" Anjeby gave a finger. Although it was just an ordinary conversation between the family, Catherine knew that her husband had never Not a big unprepared battle.

Cut down the large double-double in the last game and sent 7 blocks? Maybe, this is just a prelude. The more violent storm is yet to come...

※※※

"Ann encountered a double-team! His passing route was completely blocked! But...this guy turned around to shoot a jumper while double-teaming. Now, there are two big hands that cover Ann's face. Go! This is definitely not a good choice. Ann should be more patient and wait for the Thunder to make a mistake! This goal shouldn't be... really beautiful! Goal! God! Face Adams and Ty Gibson. Interfering with people at the same time, An is still able to score the ball! Who will explain to me, what exactly is the role of double teamwork!? On Ann, the role of double teamwork is to give him a double background!" Mike . Brinben was shaking his head, sighing for Anjie's impatience. But after a second, this guy stood up abruptly, yelled into the microphone, and spread the passionate voice to all parts of the United States.

At first he thought that An Jie chose to attack because of impatience when he was desperate. Only he knew that An Jie did it because of self-confidence!

"What can I say? Ann's skill in turning over and backwards jumpers is already perfect! Just like Kobe back then, his backward jumpers are unmatched. Now, this kind of situation is still scoring against two people's defense. , But transferred to Ann! The Thunder looked very shocked. I think they might not have thought that they would be killed. An Jie will play explosive performances in two consecutive games!" Jeff Van Gundy no longer knows how to describe Ann just now. Jie’s goal was scored, and he can only compare Kobe Bryant with An Jie with a retired legend.

"Just kidding! Fuck!" Carmelo Anthony couldn't help cursing secretly on the court. Anjie's incredible goal just now gave the Trail Blazers the lead once again.

In this game, Anthony and Westbrook performed very well. Anthony has scored 18 points with 45% shooting, and Westbrook also scored 24 points with 4 of 6 3-pointers. Coupled with Oladipo's back-to-back 20 points, the Thunder should have taken the lead now.

However, all this has changed because of An Jie's appearance. The Trail Blazers not only surpassed them by two points again, but they also had the advantage in momentum.

Westbrook frowned, he would not give up! In any case, the Thunder can't lose two home games in a row. The game still has three minutes to end, and they still have time to change everything. Now it's time to watch, An Jie let them not succeed!

The Thunder attacked again, and Westbrook obviously wanted to seek opportunities on the perimeter. After all, he feels hot outside the three-point line today.

But Napier, who was inspired by Anjie, made Westbrook very uncomfortable this time entangled. Napier is indeed not strong enough, but his enthusiasm makes up for his disadvantages.

In the end, under Napier's tireless follow-up, Westbrook's three-pointer slammed out of the box. An Jie took Adams' dark elbow and fought hard to take off to protect the rebound.

After getting the rebound, Anjie didn't forget to twist his waist protectively and gave Adams a dark elbow.

Adams was beaten so hard that he couldn't tell, he had to endure it. So dozens of seconds later, Adams, who didn't control his emotions, gave Anjie a 2+1 gift on the defensive end.

The Thunder, which had already been shaken by storms, was once again hit by this blow, and it completely lost its rhythm.

After that, the Thunder's offense became more and more chaotic. The Trail Blazers continued to make steady progress under the leadership of An Jie.

In the end, Anjie led the Trail Blazers to a 120-111 victory at the Chesapeake Energy Arena with 50 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists. It is worth mentioning that only three people in the history of the NBA can score 50 or more points in the playoffs. The last person to do this was Westbrook last year!

On April 19, 2017, when facing the Rockets in the first round of last year's playoffs. Westbrook has made 17 of 43 shots, 2 of 11 three-pointers, 15 of 18 free throws, and a triple-double of 51 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. But the result of the game was that the Rockets defeated the Thunder with a score of 115-111.

Today ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Anjie's data is equally dazzling. Unlike Westbrook, Anjie scored 50 points more efficiently, and Anjie's team also won the final victory.

Looking at Anjie's personal data and the final score of the two teams, Westbrook must have mixed feelings in his mind. Why does this guy always overpower himself?

After the game, reporters also began to ask questions about why Anjie broke out in historical performance. An Jie's answer was very simple, and even made reporters think it was a pun.

"Why? I just want to go home, nothing more." This is Anjie's answer when facing reporters' questions.

Everyone is thinking hard. Once, Chesapeake Energy Arena was also the home of Anjie. Does this sentence mean something?

Seeing the reporters' frowning expressions, An Jie couldn't help but smile. I just really want to go home...

3 to 1, the Thunder have been pushed to the edge of the cliff. Unless Westbrook and Anthony can break out continuously in the next game. Otherwise, An Jie will completely push them down the bottomless abyss.
