The Way of the Center

Chapter 722 : Eukaryote

During the intermission, almost all TV stations were broadcasting the highlights of Anjie’s second quarter. His every move, every goal, will make the commentators make exclamations and heated discussions.

Cleveland fans are very dissatisfied with this, because almost no one will mention James or Irving, as if this game is An Jie’s solo show, and everyone else is just a supporting role.

It’s no wonder that the commentators are partial, Anjie’s 25 points and 8 rebounds in the half are indeed too eye-catching. Although Irving played well in the first quarter, the game in the second quarter has disappeared. As for James, this guy’s scoring efficiency is not high today, so it is not very eye-catching.

The fans in the Moda Center are all in a commotion, from falling behind by eight points to overtaking by twelve points. They just took a roller coaster ride, and now their heartbeats can’t calm down. And this group of guys, now can’t wait to see what kind of performance their king will show in the second half of the game.

“I will increase the number of passes in the second half! They will definitely focus on me in the second half of the game. At that time, you will have a lot of opportunities. As long as we follow the tactical route drawn by the boss, we will definitely be able to do more. Click to bloom!” In the Blazers locker room, Anjie did not relax his vigilance because he was 12 points ahead of his opponent. For a super team like the Cavaliers with the Big Three, twelve points are not really a big advantage.

“Keep working hard and let us win this **** game for Damien! 1, 2, 3!”

“pioneer!”

Generally speaking, the beginning of the third quarter will be a golden period for chasing points. This is because the leading team has already been interrupted after passing an intermission, while the lagging team can attack the opponent by surprise at the beginning of the second half.

Especially now, Ricard replaced the exhausted Aldridge with Meyers Leonard. The Trail Blazers lost one offensive point, which is an opportunity the Cavaliers must seize.

however……

“Nice blocking! Meyers Leonard is very brave. His height and wingspan are beyond the reach of opponents. Kelly Irving has found the wrong target for the bully this time!” I heard Mike Brin’s roar once.

After several years of training, Meyers Leonard, the big white man, has made considerable progress compared to before. Especially in the area of ​​deterrence in the restricted area, I have been with An Jie for a long time and will be affected more or less.

Of course, Ricard replaced Aldridge for another purpose besides allowing Aldridge to rest.

After Leonard succeeded in blocking, the experienced old Miller received the basketball and prepared to counterattack. Of course, he was not in a hurry. This guy paused with the basketball in his arms. After his opponents and teammates ran to the front court, he began to advance unhurriedly.

“Let’s see if the Blazers’ offensive style will change in the second half of the game.” Jeff Van Gundy just finished speaking, and Miller passed the basketball to Anjie. And Anjie once again held the ball directly outside the three-point line!

Varejao couldn’t help swallowing, and the rest of the Cavaliers became nervous, staring at Anjie intently.

After Anjie made a few three-threatening steps in front of Varejao, he suddenly started a breakthrough to the right. This time, not only Varejao, but the entire Cavaliers moved.

“That’s right!” Seeing the Cavaliers’ defense began to target himself, An Jie was overjoyed. Gap, there will be plenty of gaps later!

Brazilian Varejao is completely a blue-collar role, pick-and-rolls, rebounds, defense, fouls, flops…all these dirty and tiring tasks are all left to him.

This guy’s positive attitude and tough defense on the field usually bring unexpected benefits to the team. But today, Varejao’s defense has become the Cavaliers’ biggest black hole. An Jie scored 25 points in the half of the game. Now every time Varejao meets An Jie, his palms sweat.

An Jie held the ball in both hands and suddenly sank his shoulders. Varejao hurriedly opened his arms, An Jie seemed to be breaking through! In the next second, Anjie took his left leg and started dribbling! The defense of the entire Cavaliers moved instantly, and Love also quickly made up the penalty area, hoping to stop An Jie.

An Jie glanced at the position of his teammates with his left light, and the corners of his mouth cocked slightly. Now everything is going according to plan, it depends on whether the kid Meyers Leonard who just finished the block can seize the opportunity!

The big net woven by Varejao and Love looks unbreakable, James has also rushed to the penalty area at this time, the Cavaliers will not hesitate to use three people to stop Anjie’s attack!

An Jie didn’t have the slightest timidity, he held the ball in both hands and plunged into the crowd. After some confrontation, Love was about to reach out and cut the ball. But when he did that, he realized that basketball was not in Anjie’s hands at all!

“Very secret pass! Ann did not choose to play hard, but chose to break the ball. Basketball came to Meyers Leonard, what would he do?”

The reason why Ricard used Leonard to replace Aldridge is to expand the Blazers’ offensive range. Leonard worked hard this summer for three-pointers and made great progress. Although Leonard, who is 2.16 meters tall, does not shoot fast, he is definitely not a shooter. But a missed three-pointer shouldn’t be a problem for him.

“Do you want to shoot a three-pointer!?” Love’s defense hesitated. As far as he knows, Leonard should be a big man who can’t shoot three-pointers. It can only be said that Le Fu’s intelligence network should be updated.

Leonard shot immediately after receiving the basketball, and his touch looked as soft as An Jie. Love stared at Leonard in disbelief. Could it be that the Trailblazers are all crazy inside today? One by one, all shots were fired outside the three-point line.

Leonard calmly shot, allowing the basketball to hollow into the net. Ricard smiled triumphantly. Although the Trail Blazers did not introduce new aid this summer, this does not mean that the Trail Blazers are still eating their fortunes. Even the defending champion will continue to improve.

After Leonard developed a three-pointer this summer, although he does not expect him to score how many points the team can rely on, at least he can be used as a tactical check point.

Next time, Leonard will go one more stop outside the three-point line, and Love will definitely not dare to let him go so far away.

“Damn, they played half the game, they still have something to hide!” Cavaliers coach David Blatter now knows the old fox Ricard, he can use any trick, as long as If you relax a little, Ricard will always give you some surprises.

Leonard used a block and a three-pointer to tell everyone that he was no longer the kid who would only eat and drink with An Jie’s ass. Now he is an important member who can really help the team.

After the Blazers’ offense, Meyers Leonard continued to press beyond the three-point line, and Love had to follow it. In this way, the one who protected the penalty area became Varejao again.

An Jie’s performance time began again. This time, An Jie not only scored, but also sent a variety of wonderful passes to assist teammates. The Cavaliers’ defense was fragmented, and in the end, James could only traverse the entire half by himself and wipe his **** for his teammates.

At 3 minutes and 20 seconds of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers attacked with the ball. At the moment in front of the technical stage, there are already several Blazers players ready to play.

Anjie glanced at the technical table, Robin Lopez was also among the group of people preparing to play. It seems that this is his last offense in the third quarter.

Due to old Miller’s age, he cannot fight for as long as he did when he was young. So Iguodala is now the ball-handler of the Trail Blazers and continues to deliver “express” to Anjie.

As soon as Anjie received the ball, James and the Cavaliers substitute insider Tristan Thompson raised their arms to surround Anjie. As a last resort, the Cavaliers double-teamed An Jie from outside the three-point line!

An Jie raised the basketball high, using his height and wingspan to try his best to control the ball, while waiting for his teammates to respond.

Iguodala and Courtney Lee crossed their positions, leaving a gap in the Cavaliers’ defense. Anjie seized the opportunity to pass hard, and the basketball flew over James and Thompson’s fingertips towards Iguodala.

After receiving the basketball, Iguodala did not stay much longer, but changed the direction of the basketball’s flight again. After two quick passes, the basketball flew to Courtney Lee. At this point, Courtney Lee has got the starting space. This guy didn’t hesitate to start and shoot directly. Although Dion Waiters made a particularly fierce pounce this time, Courtney Lee’s shooting rhythm has not been disrupted in the slightest. Don’t look at the guard who has played on the bench for the Trail Blazers for several years, but in fact, Courtney Lee is definitely a pitcher with a big heart.

Waiters looked back desperately, the miracle in his heart did not happen, and the basketball was still hollow into the net!

“Another three-pointer hit, and the Trail Blazers have widened the point difference to 18 points! LeBron James, Kelly Irving or Kevin Love, no matter who it is, now the Cavaliers need someone to stand up. ! Otherwise, the fourth quarter game will be completely **** time!” Jeff Van Gundy’s eyes widened. Before the start of the third quarter, he had never expected the Trail Blazers to get such a big deal at once. Leading advantage.

In the past few seasons, three-pointers have been one of the Blazers’ shortcomings. But in this game, starting with Anjie’s three-pointer, the entire Trail Blazers seemed to have shot.

In the next few minutes of the game, James came forward. It’s a pity that James feels really bad today, and he missed many shots from outside.

An Jie even shots with passes, allowing the Trail Blazers to advance all the way.

When the **** James was replaced by David Blatter, this guy suddenly realized that he was powerless to recover.

68 to 92, after three quarters of the game, the Trail Blazers have scored 92 points! And Anjie’s personal score has become 42 points!

Want to beat the Blazers because of the lack of Lillard? The Cavaliers thought of this game too simple.

As long as Anjie can play, the Trail Blazers will always be a team full of combat effectiveness.

Once again, James was holding his face on the bench at Moda Center’s visiting team, but don’t worry, LeBron. You still have twelve minutes to experience this painful feeling slowly…
