The Way of the Center

Chapter 76



Chapter 76 : Come forward

“The Rockets certainly didn’t expect them to meet such a tenacious resistance from the Thunder before the game. Although the Rockets do firmly control the rhythm on the field, the Thunder have been biting the score. If the Rockets in the fourth quarter The team has committed the same old problem of the final collapse, and the Thunder will definitely not refuse this gift.” The decisive battle is just around the corner, and the commentators on each channel also made their analysis before the decisive battle.

“I think the key to the fourth quarter is the performance of these two Chinese big men.” An ESPN commentator put forward a different point of view.

“Oh? Yao Ming only scored 18 points in the third quarter, but An Jie of the Thunder has only scored 9 points and 7 rebounds now. Do you think he can compete with Yao?” Obviously, the commentator prefers to use it. Data speaks.

“Perhaps Ann’s numbers on the books are indeed inferior to Yao, but don’t forget that Ann also sent out 6 assists. Don’t forget how Durant made four of four shots in the second quarter. If it weren’t for Ann. The perfect operation of the Thunder, can those frizzy kids on the Thunder play so efficiently?”

“Oh, An Ke is a 2.19 meter tall center. You can’t use him as Steve Nash. I admit that he did pass a few good shots, but only relying on the magic of this Chinese kid, The Thunder can’t win the game. The key to me in the fourth quarter is whether Westbrook or Wilcox can stand up. If they can stand up offensively, Durant will have no offensive pressure. The doubt will be greatly reduced.”

The commentators discussed fiercely, and it can also be seen that Carlesimo did not intentionally target An Jie, just because everyone viewed the game from a different perspective. It’s just a pity that in the eyes of Karasimo, Anjie’s style of play has not been recognized.

Although it was a break, the cheers in the audience never stopped. Houston is a team that aims directly at the championship. If they lose the game against opponents like the Thunder, it is undoubtedly unacceptable for the fans. They shouted hoarsely to the Rockets players, hoping they can stabilize the situation in the fourth quarter.

But when the fourth quarter started, the hearts of Rockets fans were suspended again.

First, Ralph Alston missed an open three-pointer.

Then Luis Scola knocked out the hook from the basket.

Followed by Ron Artest’s two consecutive strikes.

Four consecutive offenses for the Rockets were unreliable. The fans felt that the curse-filled fourth quarter seemed to be shrouded in the sky above the Toyota Center.

also took advantage of the victory of the Thunder power forward Wilcox in the past few rounds. He made 2 of 3 shots and scored four points in a row, and the point difference was close to only two points.

“The Rockets will pay a heavy price for their sluggish fourth quarter!” ESPN’s commentator really can’t stand the Rockets squandering such an advantage.

The Rockets’ fifth offense, everyone is looking forward to someone who can stand up and break the embarrassment that the Rockets have not scored in the fourth quarter. Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are both sitting on the bench at this time. Can the other Rockets withstand the Thunder’s fierce counterattack during the rest of the two axes?

But it’s a pity that after Aaron Brooks missed another three-pointer, the fans of the entire Toyota Center were desperate. Adelman also had to call a timeout after the ball came back. With only seven minutes left in the game, it seemed that it was time for the decisive battle to be staged in advance.

Calesimo had to admit that Anjie’s ability to protect the basket was indeed stronger than Collison and Petro. Therefore, after struggling for a while, he decided to send Anjie to play the last seven minutes. .

“Ann! Remember! Go to the low position for me! Don’t get too far from the three-second zone! Don’t go to the high position! Except for the pick and roll, I want you to stay in the low position all the time!” Carassimo emphasized to Anjie. An Jie didn’t answer his wishes, but just nodded gently.

“…The Rockets’ weakness in the fourth quarter has a lot to do with Coach Adelman’s hiring strategy! The improper rotation in the first three quarters has caused the players to consume a lot of physical energy. By the fourth quarter, the physical energy has been exhausted. The players who don’t support can’t exert their power at all! Huh? An Jie and Yao Ming are ready to play!” In the CCTV studio, the two commentators who were discussing intensely were both given by two big yellow men on the screen. attract.

“Audience friends, it seems we can feast our eyes on the next decisive battle!”

“Ann, you can rest assured to go to the low post. Russell and I can handle it.” Durant knows that there is a discord between An Jie and the coach, although An Jie’s passing to him can indeed make him play better. Comfortable, but he can’t make An Jie lose his main position for his own data.

“Don’t worry about the impact, I will try my best to contain Yao Ming.” An Jie looked at Yao Ming who was re-appearing. This big brother is very easy-going and easy to get along with outside the stadium. But in the arena, he still really didn’t give An Jie any face. When it’s time to make a move, Yao Ming will not be merciless!

As expected, Yao Ming leaned on An Jie and stretched out his hand for the ball as soon as he came up. An Jie’s chassis was very stable this time. Yao Ming made the first impact and found that he had only advanced a small step!

is not only because Anjie is well prepared, it is also related to Yao Ming’s severe physical decline in the fourth quarter. With such a large height and weight, these things will not only bring benefits to Yao Ming, but also put a heavier burden on Yao Ming than others.

Yao Ming didn’t continue walking in, but turned to face the frame and took off and shot.

The hearts of all Rockets fans are pulling up. Can this ball break the Rockets’ scoring drought in the fourth quarter?

An Jie tried his best to interfere, and he could only interfere. It was impossible to cover this ball.

Yao Ming was not scared by An Jie’s long arms, he still shot the ball according to his own shooting rhythm.

“An Jie’s defense is very good! Yao Ming shot! The goal was scored! The Rockets finally got their first point since the start of the fourth quarter! Yao Ming made no mistakes against An Jie! Even though An Jie has tried his best, he still can’t stop him. Yao Ming’s scoring footsteps!” Every head-on confrontation between Anjie and Yao Ming will cause a climax in the CCTV studio.

“Good defense, but I won’t let you win.” After Yao Ming scored a goal, he warned An Jie, wanting to steal the victory from him? As Yao Ming said when he chatted with An Jie before the game, there are no doors!

The hand feels softer than my own, and my field of vision is wider than my own. An Jie reluctantly picked up the basketball and ran to the bottom line. This is the strength of the league’s first center.

“You’re not to blame for this ball! It’s okay, we just have to pay one back!” Westbrook was confident, and Angel smiled. He knew what to do later.

Westbrook pushed the ball to the opponent’s half with lightning speed. Alstom was swept by the rookie today, so he focused every time he met Westbrook.

Westbrook changes direction directly in front of his body and prepares for a breakthrough.

“Don’t think of the NBA so simple!” Alstom did his part and immediately followed. But because his attention was all on Westbrook, he didn’t realize that An Jie was already standing beside him at this time.

“Bang!” In the fierce collision, the thin Alstom was firmly blocked by An Jie, and Westbrook’s breakthrough path was unimpeded!

His speed is already very fast, but what is unexpected is that Westbrook can actually speed up!

Yao Ming hurriedly made up to the penalty area, but because Westbrook’s speed was too fast, and Yao Ming’s pace was so slow in the fourth quarter, Yao Ming did not make it in time. Instead, he was beaten by Wes. Terbrook committed a foul.

“Just fight like this!” Carassimo waved his fists on the court. He only saw Westbrook’s brilliant breakthrough, but ignored An Jie’s perfect cover.

Westbrook made no mistakes this time and made two free throws. The Thunder continued to threaten the Rockets!

After the game, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady did not disappoint the fans. Not only did they not appear weak in the fourth quarter, but these two arrow figures are the Rockets’ best performers right now.

McGrady even made two of two shots in front of Durant, including a three-pointer.

In addition to Yao Mai, Karl Landry also showed his aggressiveness in the fourth quarter. Facing the defensive black hole of Wilcox, he was able to fully demonstrate his offensive skills.

Young teams have the advantages of young teams, but there are also disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that there is no experienced and capable guide in this team, and no one can help them stabilize the situation at the critical moment. How many of the frizzy young people can remain calm at critical moments?

Due to Calesimo’s orders, Anjie couldn’t get a chance to score in the low post, and after several losses, the Rockets players also changed their defensive strategies. Now Anjie’s pick-and-roll is not as threatening as it was at the beginning. .

The Thunder’s offense has plunged into the quagmire again, and now Carlesimo only hopes that Durant can use his personal ability to take over the game.

But in the face of Ron Artest’s fierce defense, Durant seemed a little at a loss in the absence of support. If at this time there is an experienced veteran in the Thunder team standing up to command, then these three newcomers can at least have a clear offensive thinking. It’s just a pity that there is no such role in the Thunder team.

Break through forcibly! However, Durant, who was slightly thinner like An Jie, was not at all an opponent of Artest this beast.

Durant passed the ball and found Westbrook. Adelman is not a fool. After Alston completely lost his threat to Westbrook, the defender of Westbrook became Tracy McGrady. Facing McGrady’s defense, Westbrook’s sharp breakthrough failed to reappear.

Westbrook, who was at a loss, saw An Jie begging for the ball!

“That guy, are you going to play singles with Yao Ming in the low post!?” Westbrook’s eyes widened but he still handed over the ball in time.

Seeing that his teammates couldn’t break the situation, An Jie felt that he had to stand up. He could score once on Yao Ming, so why couldn’t he have a second time!

Anjie held the ball with both hands, and kept testing Yao Ming with his back.

“It’s very tight, right now!” An Jie suddenly dribbled and turned towards the bottom line, trying to break through!

Yao Ming hurriedly straightened his chest and blocked An Jie’s path. However, An Jie didn’t give in, and tried all his strength to just break in.

“The last level!” An Jie knew that he had to be able to dodge Yao Ming’s cover.

So after the breakthrough, An Jie didn’t directly take off and attack the frame, but continued along the bottom line and ran from one side of the basket to the other. After that, he didn’t look up at the frame, but directly took off, An Jie with his back to the basket clasped his hands on his back!

“An Jie suddenly broke through Yao Ming’s defense! In this post-up singles, An Jie successfully scored points on Yao Ming’s head!” The ESPN commentator had to applaud this highly admirable dunk. The two Chinese People, really brought a wonderful inside duel for the audience!

“We will not give up Brother Yao!” An Jie responded to Yao Ming’s words just now. The two Chinese were friends and foes on the court, encouraging each other, but not giving up to each other.

Anjie came forward at a critical moment. His wonderful dunk brought the difference between the two sides to six points once again. At this moment, there are only three minutes before the end of the game. It seems that until the last minute, the two teams will not be able to distinguish between them Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at www. .com For mobile phone users, please go to read.
